Leave behind you the bright sun and the sweetness of day- light and pass into a region of darkness and stench? Hardly a pleasant experience, but it is sometimes necessary for the public good. For nearly a year past the business men on Pennsylvania avenue have been sufferers from the flooding of the cellars beneath their respective establishments. Every time there was » rain storm there was, as a natural sequence, a flood. Thousands of dol- lars worth of goods were destroyed, and the only thing the unfortunate merchants could do was to grin and bear it. Each, in his own way, tried to remedy the condition of affairs and oftenimagined he had done it, Then the: would come a heavy shower and in fifteen min- utes afoot or two of the muddiest kind of water would cover the cellar floor and ruin whatever was on it, The chocolate-tinted flood was forced up, the business men claimed, from the B-street sewer. Frequently the question was asked, is the sewer large enough; is it un- obstructed, and can it carry off a heavy rain snd the local accumulations? To this in- quiry the water department replied that the sewerage capacity was amply suffi- cient to care for all the water and everything else that came along. Representatives of the general government, which was a loser through the submerging of portions of the botanical gardens, have also blamed this flooding upon the sewers, THE SEWERS WERE AT ONE TIME KEPT CLEAR. When Capt. Hoxie was in power and when Maj. Ludlow reigned supreme at the District buildings the alluvial deposits in the sewers were never allowed to amount to anything. They were dredged outas rapidly as possible by a force of men engaged especially and con- tinuously for that particular purpose. This practice of refusing to allow sewers to choke themselves up was continued up to about a year ago and was then, for some reason or other, discontinued. A steam engine which had been used to hoist the sand and gravel out of the Tiber sewer was allowed to gravitate into a condition of innocuous desue- tude.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE VOYAGE. A staunch but not heavy flat-bottomed boat was the prime necessity, but of almost as great importance was a pair of rubber boots, which came within a coe tase of being long enough to tie around the reporter's neck.

This same sand bank was it at Maine avenue and 3dstreet. The lepth of the sand varied as it was shifted by the current, which was bere x more noticeable be- cause there was but little tidewater. Maine avenue across under the northwest corner of the Botanical gardens the sand was fully 2 feet deep on the floor, and aiong the east wail it was a foot above the surface of the water. A few yards more and THE SAND PUT A STOP TO NAVIGATION. The boat only drew a little more than 4 inches of water, but the gravel banks arose and the water made so many narrow channels that its usefulness, so far as the expedition was con- cern was lost. The reporter and the col assistant, being provided with long rubber boots, got out of the boat, but Mr. Smith, whose shoes were sawed off short on the uppers, remained on board, although he repeatedly' expressed a desire to get out, It was hard work, trying to drag the little craft over the bars, and ten min- utes of endeavor resulted only in a progress of about 30 or 40 yards and the breaking out of Profuse perspiration on the toilers. THE NOISE OVERHEAD at this point was ost beyond description. Itzesembled the roar of # continuous thunder- storm. A few more efforts, and not feeble ones either, were made to move the boat tee stream and then it was resolved to gees and leave Mr. Smith in charge of the it, m- B street, between ist and 2d streets orthwest, a man-hole had been opened, and, when toe reporter and his brunette companion balted beneath it, half a dozen countenances, belonging toas many boys, peered through the circular aperture awe-struck at the idea of any one beimg down in the sewer. Right in this neighborhood were very serious obstructions to the free exit of sewage mat- ters, Bricks and cobblestones were piled uj for quite a long distance. These, of course, ha: acted as a dam for sand and gravel and the heap is still growing and will continue to grow. AT INDIANA ANENUE the 12-foot sewer from the pension office emp- tied itself. Two or three dead tabbies and a few exploded fire-crackers were leisurely mak- ing their sag baer the main sewer when the reporter by the aid of a lantern glanced into it. It seemed to be clear. The trip was continued over slimy planks and rn ape Al flagstones past the Baltimore and Ohio depot, beneath New Jersey avenue and North Capitol streets and ending beneath F street, oy under the center field fence of the base ball grounds. The stench here was awful, tent fowe was clear up to that point, ser, explorers returned to the boat, where Mr. Smith sat waiting for them. Then came another struggle, or a succession of struggles, to get the boat off the three feet of sand into five inches of water. It was done at last. At 2:15 sunlight was once more shining on Tue Stan's expedition and the boat was tied up in the canal, there to await the coming of the boy, who’ was too ae na poe to remain on board, though he had shipped for the whole voyage. THE EXPEDITION A SUCCESS. The expedition was a success. It had found an obstruction sufficiently large to back the water up into the B-street sewer. and it had accumulated sufficient testimony to convince any one that the old practice of keeping men continuously at work in cleanin; out the Tiber creek sewer was necessary an correct. Butit was not a pleasant trip. Its odors still dwell in memor: ———__ Census Office Appointments. Superintendent of Census Porter has decided upon the appointment of John R. Kendrick of Philadelphia as special agent of the eleventh census for the purpose of procuring and com- piling statistics of the carpet and upholstery industries. Mr. Kendrick is editor of the Philadelphia Carpet t Trade and publishes an an- nual statistical of the above textile branches. He pein the “Carpets” article for the current series of Appleton’s Annual Cyclopedia and his fitness for the present of- fice is vouched for by leading manufacturers, Mr. Porter has also appointed Henry Pem- berton, jr., of Philadelphia, a special agent to assist Special Agent Bower in the collection of statistics relating to the chemical industry, = Pemberton is said to be a chemist of high order. Mr. Porter has offered the position of expert and special agent for the collection of statistics relating to railroads, canals, telegraphs and ‘steam navigation to Prof. H.C, Adams of Ann Arbor university. Mr. Adams has the offer under consideration. He is at present the statistician of the interstate commerce com- mission. John 8. Lord, chief of the bureau of labor statistics of Illinois, has been offered the position of special agent for, the collection of statistics relating to the recdtded indebtedness of the people for the s the state of Illinois. Lieut. O. M. Carter Exone rated. The Secretary of War has received the report of Col. Hughes, inspector general, who was de- tailed to investigate the charges preferred against Lieut. O. M. Carter, engineer corps, in cbarge of the river and harbor improvements in Florida and Georgia. These charges were of sea te We cor and bribery, and were ferred by R. Curtis, at one time employed under Lieut. Carter. The report com tely exonerates the officer and declares the c! to be a traitorous and dastardly attack upon an innocent man, Col. Hughes thinks that, in- asmuch as the government is not blessed with very many servants who exhibit the zeal and expend the energs that Carter has done in the work at Savan: great care should be taken to protect those it has from abuse. His report is very lengthy and has been approved by his superiors, For the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Sufferers. The following subscriptions have been re- ceived at Tue Srap office for the benefit of the sufferers by fiood on the canal: Carry et al. was heard on motion of the com- plainant for the appointment of a receiver for and rain water | TRAINS ON THE CROSSING. A Case Agalast a B. & O. Railroad Engi- neer Dismissed | An the Police Osurt. This morning in the ‘the Police Court Charles Shelton, engineer in charge of a shifting engine on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was placed: on trial charged with violating the police regu- lations, It was alleged that on the 24th of Inst month the defendant obstructed the crossing at Massachusetts avenue with his train longer than it was necessary to pass at rate of speed not more than five miles an hour, Messrs. Hamilton and Colbert appeared for the defendant and Mr. Shillington was the prosecuting officer, TRE TESTIMONY. Mr. A. R. Hales, who resides at No, 807 M street, testified that on the evening charged he arrived at the crossing meutioned at 628 p.m, aud was detained until 7:083¢ p.m. Witness said that the track was cleared once at thet point, but not long enough to permit him to cross without danger. = Judge Miller inquired whether or not the tracks were laid authority of the Commie ‘sloners, WHAT THE RAILROAD PEOPLE CLAIM, Mr. Hamilton replied that the tracks were laid by authority of the act of Congress of 1881 and the supplemental act of 1835. Under those acts he said the company was authorized to lay as many tracks and sidings as was necessary to conveniently dipatch its business, No limit, he said, was made to the number of tracks to be laid) Mr. Hamilton argued that the trains had to be made up somewhere, and the only = to make them ap was on the tracks, Be 'd not think that the detendant bad violated the spirit of the law, JUDGE MILLER RAID that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad had some rights as a corporation, Congress had given them authority to use the street. They havea right to make up their trains, The judge said that he did not think the time consumed was unreasonable, Mr. Shillington argued the case for the Dis- trict, holding that the proof had made out a case, -The judge, referring to the evidence, said that Mr. Hales said that the train moved to and fro. He did not think that under the law the defendant was guilty. There was no proof, he said, that the train was “stopped and held,” and the case was dismissed, a NO LONGER A SENATOR. Manager and Player Morrill Honorably Released To-day. NO MONEY IN THE TRANSACTION—A TALK WITH PRESIDENT HEWETT—WAY HE TOOK SUMMARY ACTION—TED SULLIVAN MAY MANAGE TEE TEAM—PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE. Honest John Morrill will have no further use for his Washington base-ball uniform, for on his arrival in Boston he will find » telegram from President Hewett telling him that his services will be no longer required on the team. This telegram was sent to Morrill this morning and then Mr. Hewett telephoned the news to President Young. This action will be somewhat of a surprise to the local base-ball public, not so much on ac- count of Morrill’s going, but because his release is unconditional and does not net the home management a cent. Toa Sram re- porter Mr. Hewett admitted that he had re- leased Morrill, and said: “I have done this thing after the most careful consideration and after long deliberation. I believe it to be for the best interests of our team or I should not have done it. The fact that Morrill was of no use to the team, either asa player or mana- ger, was apparent some time ago, but I held on to him and gave him every chance in the world to do his best. He had absolute control of the team, and I followed out his suggestions in every in- stance. I put not « straw in his way, and treated him as squarely as a ball-pla ever treated, He did not fill the bill, that’ I waited as long as I could and then gave him an honorable discharge. I do not think that he had any idea of my intention, but he cer- tainly could not expect to go on in the way he hasbeen. He had ceased to figure as an ele- ment in the team, and was worse than no man at all, for folks kept expecting him to pick up and he failed to do it. 4 GROWING SENTIMENT. “There hag been a sentiment growing against him here until it has become so strong that people have told me they wouldn't go to see a game if Morrill played. While these things had weight my decision was based on my own judgment. I have received any number of let ters of late from people around town telling me to getridof Morrill, to ‘sell him for five cents,’ and such like. 1 received the other morning twelve of those anonymous letters, I could see the drift of public opinion, and as it coincided with my own ideas I had to do some- thing. Isave money on Morrill’s salary, but that does not count for much in the matter, If he was of any good to the team it would cut no figure whatever, but as he is of no value it has & little bearing. ‘THE FUTURE. “Mr. Irwin will be captain of the team, and for the present what little managing there is to be done will be divided between him and us here, We may get manager elsewhere, but that point will be settled later. McCoy will robably play third base, and for the present aily, who is playing the best kind of ball, will cover second. Lam not sure what il © with Wise. He may go out into the field, or 1 ma; lay “him occasionally in the infield. All We to say about him is that if any one wants him for good money they can have him, But he will stay with us until I find thet his release will be fiuancially profitable. There may be a couple of releases Jater on, after the team gets back, but have not decided upon that yet. I shall have a talk with Irwin just as soon as he gets here, to-morrow night or Monday morning, and we will go all over the situation together and see if we can’t make up a winning team. I think we can, I believe that the team will pick up as soon as they get home and play successful ball. They ere im good shape—no one injured, aaer. Mack, who bruised a finger about a week ago, HOPES. “T believe that the people will see this Mor- rill matter in my light in a day or two. When Myers’ release was made known there was an awful howl, and some of my friends were even inclined to cut me on the street on that ac- count. But they have been coming around all right, and some of them have apologized, This is @ business matter, and lam in for bysiness. Tact on mY best judgment and for what I be- lieve to be the best interests of the team.” Ted Sullivan, ex-manager of the Washing- tons, is in town, having recently returned from his trip to Paris. Itis possible that he iven temporary charge of the team, . Hewett was asked about this he aun oes e day to see forms, and made contin
