 Obstinate Ledge Delays Progress.

At this point, near the residence of Simon Farley, the excavation is about twenty feet in depth. In Marshall street the progress is more rapid. It is expected that by Sept. 15 the con nectfons for carrying the sewage from Notre Dame academy and other points near by will have been completed.
 An improbable Story.
 A story that is apparently without foundation has been going the rounds to the effect that a former resident of this city is held in Canadian town charged with murder and that he not only admits the charge but also con- fessed to killing one of the men found dead on the railroad tracks here last winter and who in two cases were never identified. Captain Murray, after a thorough effort to trace out the source of the story, pronounces it a fake. It is not probable, in the first place, that such a confession as is claimed has been made to Canadian officers would not be repeated by them to local officers, and again the evidence is all against any other theory in the than that they were killed by trains.
