The bid of the Eastern Engine

We wish to say that we think the
most practical way TO drain Gin

from all side streets leading from
said street and to purchase the
sewer which is now laid in sale

and use the same as a means Of
taking the storm water from said
street only, but as the sentiment
Of citizens appears to be against
the acquiring of the sewer We
suggest that the matter be drop.

be carried by cutters to the near

Third We also recomend that the
proper steps be taken to enforce
the ordinance as to curbing and
all other work necessary for the
Improvement, be at once ordered
to lie done and carried to compile
ton In advance of the proposed
paving of said street.
We further recommend that an at
torney be at once retained t.

ing of the money, the commune

and other matters requiring lega
advice.

~ EADERS Of that eStimable pub
X ucation. The Sporting News,
are likely to gain the impress
sion that clark Griffith and f. f. CAL
laway. president Of the Atlanta Base
ball club are at loggerheads.
As matter Of fact, these two
magnates are in the throes of mild
Misunderstanding. And it is not the
fault of Louis a. Dougher, Washing
ton correspondent for The News, that
the difference Of opinion has not
reached the loggerhead stage.
Which. in view Of the close and
friendly business relations existing
between the Crackers and the Sena
tors. would be decidedly unfortunate.
AS far as our vision extends, the
misunderstanding is groundleSs.
Ana II appears from a perusal Of Mr..
DOugher's own article, published IN
the issue Of September is. that tho
affair is largely of his own con-
struCtion, erected in quest for fres5

News. that the injury To the arm Of
Cdlvo. the Cuban outhelder sent by
Griffith to Atlanta. was kept a dark
and bloody secret from Grin when
the Crackers returned the little
Cuban last August. Also. Mr. Dougher
had something 10 say about Harry

that Atlanta had put one over on
GriT by signing up two players he
was known to be after.
THE following facts are we'll known
to the writer.
There was absolutely no secrecy
concerning Calvos injury at the time
he was sent back 10 Washington. Mr.
Galloway himself gave ont the in
formation that CRlvo had suffered
green stick fracture Of his arm, and
that information was given out ami
published In the Atlanta papers as

been verified ny an N-ray photograph
