But, aiter all, the Assiguee could releasc the clalms withont the action of the creditors,which woull Jeave them nneommitted. Col. Evans wanted the proposition taken to Jutlge Drummond, and waa in favor of letting him dedlde whether it was beat for the creditors to accept It or not.

Mr. Magruder wanted to know what differ- ence It made to the creditors whether THRY GOT TIKI MONEY out of 8mith or the atockholders, Col, Cooper scemed tothink there was a great deal of aifference. Mr., Wampold moved to appoint a committce, connlu(n; of the Assirnee, Col, Van Amlfll and Mr, Tolman, to notily Judge Drummond of the receipt of this ridicatiuus proposition, as he termed 2; and to request him to reniler an Im- mediate decision In the matter now. pending. Col, Cooper withdrew lis resalution, and Mz, ‘Wampold’s motion was carrled, Mr. Hibbard sald the Assignee had enough on hand to make o dividend to all creditors who had not recelved their 40 per cent. Mr, Cook saiil i lie pald a dividend of 10 per cent it would only Ieave him abont $1,000. Under tho crcumatauces, It was considered sdvisable not to declare such dividend, and tho unfortunate creditors, nmiourning as those with- out vomfort, sadly withdrew. SEWERAGE. What Is Asked For, and What It Is Estl- mnted to Cost. The question of seweraga has occupled a good share of the attention and time of the Fl- nance Committes In thelr recent and still-con- tinued constderation of the estimates for appro- priations for the coming year. Almost every Aldernan has made some renuest for a sewer in his ward, and the orders have been for somo time collecting fu tho hands of tne Council, As the time approaches for the pass- ageof the Appropriation bill, the Aldermen have been particularly active o plling up the “impergtive demands® for sewerage, and the result can be secn fn the sppended table. The Financo. Committee, while reallzing that ft would be a fine thing to have the entlre city scwered, realize that Chicago has no money to put Into lavish improvements this year, There- fore, after carcfully considering the varfous re- quests which have been made, both lately and Nerctofore, the Comumittee have declded that they will recommend that $79,000 be appropri- ated for the completion of the sewcrs now un- der contract—some of them partially completed —and only $200,000 for mnew scwers. The Committee did not feel like recom- mending o sewer hers’ and none there, and _so have made Mr. Clarke, of the Sewerage Department, umplre, so to speak, and hifs judwment based upon sanitary condition and the necesaity for a sewer in particular localities, will bo sccepted, probably.

The same day, within stone-thirow of me, two Mexicans unearthed $2,200!—while an eager crowd around us got, sume £40, sume §20, and a large number from $3 to $5.

Y Well, after the car was built, the next thing ‘was to get permission to run it on the Commo- dore's ronds, Mr. Wagner went to New York. He first called on William H.

Helistened to Wae. ner's description of his new car, and was taken with the Idea; but he told him it was no use for him to see the Commaodore, as he was satisfied the old man would have nothing to do twith jt.
