Yesterday afternoon there was a big break in the bank in the rear of Masonic tcmglfl, about 1,000 yards of dirt taking a tumble, and catehing one team and wagon, owned by Sid Troot. The wagon was badly smashed, and the horses had a narrow escape from injury. The sewerage on First street will only €ost $22.60 for 1ifty feet frontage, includ- ing service pipe, from Broudway to Platner street, and $18.50 for the same frontage from Platner to Graham ave- nue. At this price it is probable that many on that street, who have heretofore objected, will want the im- provement made. missionary meeting will be held in the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon, at 8 o’clock sharp.

The mortgage given by Robert and Agnes Ritchie to scttle the $2,000 which their son, Jerry Ritchie “knocked down' while in_ Bushnell’s employ, seems to have started their creditors into pushing collections. John Beno & Co. bave commenced suit against them for $263 for goods sold them at sundry times, and the firm asks for a judgment and a writ of attachment on the cfaim that they are disposing of their property to de- fraud their creditors. The attempt of the mayor and his little coterie to get some showing for him in the demoeratic caucuses corroborated the disclosure made in the BEe that one of the prime purposes of the mayor's “‘what is it” convention was to throw the democrats off their guard, so that he could capture the regular caucuse Failing in this, the prediction was m that he would go ahicad with | vention.

Work to Commence on the Sewer Ditch and be Pushed to Completion. Contracts Let for a Goodly Amount of Other Building—Other Matters of Business Trans- acted by the Council, Sewer The city couneil held a meeting yes- terday afternoon to consult with Mr. Vincent, the contractor for the new Indian creck sewer ditch. Mr. Vincent was called on to explain why the work was not going on. He stated to the coun- cil that he was willing to proceed with the work 8o soon as the city complied with its part of the contract. He com- plained that the council had made cer- tain arrangements about leaving the mat- ter of deposits to arbitration, and this must be adjusted before he could pro- cced. Another matter was that he had not received any cach. His contract called for cash, and he had about $17,000 of orders on the fund, but there was no money to pay them. He had got to the end of the strini tinancially, and these matters must be arranged before he could proceed with the work. The matter was talked over quite at length, and Judge Aylesworth, to whom the matter of deposits was referred, was called in. Some additional testimony was presented to him, and_he decided that under the contract, Mr. Vincent was to be furnished by the city with free and unobstructed right of way, and this not being given him, the railways and other matters obstructing the progress of the work, he had to suspend operations, and the dirt being washed in and deposited, should be removed at the cily's expense rather than at the contractor's. The new ditch has been pretty well filled “Y again by the wash of dirt and accumulation of rubbish, and the expense of digging it out again will be heavy. If the work could be pushed right along to completion the flow of water would have kept the channel open and comparatively free, but the city was enjoined from pro- ceeding with the ditch below the cit limits, so that no outlet could be hm{ Then the rnil\vn{s crossing the ditch could not be made to raise fi)eir tracks, forming another obstruction. As a result the ditch has been dug out in sections, and these sections mpidr{ filled up again and require to be cleaned out again. A discussion was indulged in as to issu- ing bonds and preparing to pay off Mr. Vincent. ‘The committee was instructed to have §30,000 of bonds printed. It was suggested that Mr. Vincent could get all the teams he wanted at §3 a day, payable in warrants on the sewer fund, and men at $1.50 u day, payable in sewer warrants, He agreed that if he could get teams and men, he wonld put on a force at once and proceed with the He will aceordingly advertise for : at once. ‘tne iy Guoitor was iusiructed to issue warrants in such sums as the contractor needed to pay ofl' the men. The city engineer reported in fayor of iving the sewer contract to W. P. Yeightman, considering him the low: bidder. Mr. Weightman declared tl he would take his pay in bonds or cash as the city might elect. The con- tract was awarded him, the estimated amount being about $6,000. His bond was fixed at $2,000. It was decided to include in the con- tract, all the street as advertised, except Willow avenue.

Straub to ex- cavate preparatory to putting up his new building on Main street. was city e WHERE ARE THE WORKINGMEN ? They Are Forgotten When Inspectors Are Being Appointed. The council has chosen Col. E. J. Ab- bott as paving inspector, and Col. Whit- tlesey as sewer inspector, each to receive a salary of $3 a day. The colonels are both genial gentlemen, and in some mat- | ters—military for instance—would be valuable, but it seems rather queer for the council to choose them as inspectors, when neither of them pretends to be practically acquainted with paving or sewering. Are there not enough practi- mechanics in the city from whom two i cctors could be selected? Without saying anything disparaging of the gen- tléemen chosen, 1t seems & poor policy to select as inspectors men who have no ex- perience or acquaintance with such work, and leave out in the cold practical work: ingmen, who have had experience and training in these lines. C'T'he oflice of inspector is an important for, especially in the matter of sew- 'the work is soon buried beyond the ance of ve ion or remedy, and the greate: should be taken to see that the quality and quantity of mate is a5 called for in the contract, and that the work is done properly. The rights of the city and of tax-payers cannot be too zealously looked after. Of course the.city engineer is supposed to pass upon k of this kind, but he cannot be ywhere all the time, and if g ceded at all they should chosen with the greatest care. if the appointments were a sort of politi compromise between the council and the mayor, the republican alderman favoring Col. Abhott, who has been a long-time supporter of the party, while the “democrutic mayor nntuml]ly wants to help along his old” friend, Col. Whittlesey, who has been prominently conneeted with the demoeracy for years. It is a bit of official patronage, which no one can blume these gentlemen for ac- cepting, but which it seems in all justice should be bestowed upon some of the workingmen of the eity, whose votes are 50 sought after in times of political aspi- ration. The mayor, who 8o loudly pa- rades as a friend to the workingmen, is never known to recognize them by the bestowal of any such™ oftices, or by at- tempting te get others to bestow them. bl Prize for Farmers.

Talk of & Union Slaughter House, and a Competent Inspector., As a solution of the slaughter house complications it has been suggested that a slaughter house be built, and the idea is said to meet with considerable favor.
