A peeective sewer.

Bothered by the manner in which the new Devfllier Street sewer fails to carry off the water after rains. ieav- ing portion of the western section of the city inundated. the City Council has requested the presence of T. Chalky Hatton of Wilmington, Del, the consulting engineer. who accepted the system, in Pensacola as soon as possible and not later than the next meeting.
 Mir. Hatton has previously been con- suited regarding this sewer, which ne planned to carry on the water with ease,. and all of his recommendation regarding remedies have been carried out by the city at a heavy cost. Now the Council wants him here to explain why his plans have failed.
 The engineer claimed, several weeks ago, that the outlet into the bay had been broken by steamers, and g. diver has just completed an examination of three weeks and found no breaks what ever at any point.

Charge Against Treasurer.

Impeachment charges against City Treasurer Harry T. Howland are to be brought by Mayor Frank Reilly. un- less the former can furnish a bond in the syAn of S40,000.
 At present he Is under no bond, the old sureties. which were bank officials having requested to be relieved. inas. much as the city money is no longer on deposit in their banks. and thus far the Treasurer has been unable to give a new bond.
 The City Council has directed the Mayor to proceed in the matter, and although friends of the Treasurer are endeavoring to get the amount of bono reduced. they have thus far been un- successful.

Robbers I'm Florida.


 That professional cracksmen are working westward along the P and A. division of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad is the belief of post office inspectors. Beginning at Chairs, a small town west of Tallahassee, they have blown the safes of three post offices during the past week, and in each instance they have been coming nearer to Pensacola.
 There Is no doubt that all the offices have been robbed by the same men. In each instance some powerful explo- sives have been used, and the post offices wrecked.
 The cracksmen have thus far made good hauls. securing much cash in each office and large quantities of stamps That the stamps are to be sent far from this section of the country to be disposed of is the belief, for the men doing the work will hardly dare to exhibit such number as have been stolen anywhere in the South.

Grandpa had a wooden leg

For few men like he were posted.

And his household always dreaded
Lest some one the wig might prig

Thus it was it came to pass
People thought his looks were pane

Grandpa's artificial teeth
Often helped the poor old sinner;
When deceit he was beneath
He would send his teeth to dinner.
Grandpa's ears were slow to hear
And this caused him lots of sorrow.

He'd not catch it till Tomorrow.
Grandpa's stomach once played out,
For it truly needed resting.
When his living was in doubt
He observed that he'd digesting
Grandpa carried many a scar
And his spine was known to lack
bone,
So he'd never go to war
For he didn't have the backbone.

But when for a loan we'd long
He would seldom cough up for US.
