period.
In 1862 when Little Grow as

his attacks on the settlements west

those who Joined Judge Flandrau's
company and marched with it to New
Ulm. After the Indians had been
repulsed and the evacuation of New

guard the train of women and chill
dren on the dreary march to Man

Wednesday noon and were taken to
the home of Theo. Pehling west of
town. Emma Pehling was born and
raised to womanhood near Nicollet
and would have been twenty-seven
years old on March 21st. this year.
About three years ago she left for
California for the benefit of her
health, and has since been making
her home with her brother, John
Pehling. The deceased was bride
OF scarcely two months, and leaves
besides her husband, her parents.

TOO HARD TO WASH AWAY

An experiment In the swift removal OF
snow from the streets By way Of the
sewer was made yesterday under the
supervision OF Street Cleaning Commits.
sioner Fetherston and Fire Commissioner
Adamson
The cover OF IA sewer manhoie In Sixty
eighth street. west OF Third avenue. was
removed and dozen white wings SHOW
elled in snow from the heaps. Engine
10 pumped water through III inch
nozzle down the opening at the rate, II
WAS said. OF 200 gallons of water a
minute. After three-quarters of an hour
Commissioners Fetherston and Adamson
looked into "A inanhoe about forty yards
east and found that the sewer was clogged
with Jumps OF snow and that the water
was three feet higher than usual and
was rising. The fire engine was stopped
and the experiment WAS ended.
Ernest Flagg. the architect, who was
one of the committee that supervised .
similar experiment several years ago. told
the commissioners that he thought the
experiment Of yesterday failed because
the snow was almost as hard as Ice.
Commissioner Adamson said he thought
the Sixty-eighth street sewer was too
small for "A fair test. II believe" he said.
that the plan. which originated with Mr..
Flsgg. can be perfected and may even
tually solve the problem OF snow disposal.
The only question is whether or not the
sewers are strong enough TO bear the
extra strain. In the lower part of the
city the sewers are old and are already
overtaxed. | am sure that II the snow
were dumped into the sewers under a
powerful stream as soon AS the snow fell
that IL would be carried away"
Commissioner FetheiSton said he had
been trying sewers for snow disposal for
the last week at Is "A good method. he
said, but II has its limitations. We have
20 be careful that cellars along the route
do not become Hooded. BY selecting the
sewers that are well constructed and by
using plenty Of water we can get rid OF
much OF the snow by tackling II imme-
diately after IL falls and before u turns
into hard Jumps. II has been figured
that the cost OF snow removal would be
reduced from 65 cents TO about cents a
cubic yard | am not sure that this Is
correct, but the reduction would he large.
The Commissioner began flushing the
streets Of Manhattan yesterday FOR the

He assigned 100 men To this work.
All OF the flushing equipment of the de-
partment was put into service. Hose was

water loosened tn, snow and -ont II into

Cleaning Commissioner said that the
flushing had accomplished a good deal In
restoring the avenues TO their normal
