JOHN AHIEsARlN.

Investigation into the death of John Ahearn, who was found in a dying condition in the streets of Bridgeport on Monday August 8, and who died shortly after being taken to a, Bridge port hospital, discIoses the fact that he died from fatty mfocarditis of tHe heart. While his death was superia- duced by general neglect of his health the autopsy shows clearly that starva- tion, as previously reported, was not the prime cause of heath. The de- ceased is survived by a mother, who resides at POP South Colony street, WallfngFord, Ct.

Fort Smith, Ark, Sept S.-lt is re- ported that ,ne tracks of the Arkan- sas Southern Railway company are to be taken up and sold for scrap iron.

This solution of the railway deficit problem is a new one and authori- tatlvely demonstrates Uncle Sam's method of dealing with business prob- iems as relates to railroads.

NO MONEY FOR
 SEWER BULL DING
Mayor Wilson Preferred to Depend Upon Bond
 Issues

The Common Council has ordered new sewers to be constructed, at an estimated cost of s67,000. But the Tax board made no provision what ever for sewers, probably because of the desire of Mayor Wilson to try his fortune on a bond issue Of $300,000 for this purpose.
 Aldermen who have followed the course Of the votes on bond issues be- Iieved today that the large sum asked for might defeat the project
 The cost of sewers is assessed D per cent against aibutting or bene- fitted property. @ From the proceeds of s300, 900 1t would be possible to build nearly a million dollars worth of sewers
 The first construction would cost s30O.000, of which s225,0o9 would be collected from property.
 Upon the expenditure of $225,OOO $16S.000 would be collected, and so the expenditures could continue.
 Papers and petitions showing the work that has already been ordered, were piled in a high heap on the table when the committee met in the city clerks office, last night
 Petitions for the repair of a catch basin on Deacon street, for sewer on Bryant street the entire length, and on smith street from Newheld avenue to Beardsley street, were referred to the city engineer.
 The committee received report from the city engineer that the pro posed sewer in Prospect street from I.afayette to Warren streets will cost s350.
 ! No action was taken on the request for sewers in front of Nos, 1928 to |12s7 Central avenue where it is5 al legged that for lack of proper drain age adjoaning property is flooded in
 
 tn netl4fon for a sewer and six sewer wells in Sanford place The petition of the BrookIawn Club Inc. for per mission 6o connect with the West Enc sanitary se5ver was referred to the city enzdneer for an estimate of the cost.
