A prominent family of North B street was amused 88 Well as sury afew tlays ago when the colored cook of A next door neighbor came over and wanted to reut the servant room for two friends ‘a doctab an’ lady.?? e request was so peculiar that a member of the family of whom it was made asked the lady for whom the cook worked about it, The lat- ter was as much astonished as any of the others, and when the cook showed up for supper she was questioned in she enquired, ‘what did you want to rent Mrs, B.'s ser- vant room for? and who is the doc- tor you spoke to her of 7” “Lwa * out speculatin’, miss,’’ she evasively replied. “Well, what did you want to rent rooms for somebody else for, and a doctor at that? ‘The dusky damsel hung ber head and seemed embarassed, but being hard pressed, she finally blurted out: eri tell yo" de truf, miss, I’se hoodooed, an’ de doctah’s gwine to foteh de spell outen me, and put it in de woman he's libbin’ wif!” This excited the risibilities of the lady of the house, who, by sedulous pumping, ascertained that her cook was laboring under the hallucination that she was “hoodooed,’’ and that she was giving every cent of her earn- ings to a shiftless ‘hoodoo doctor’ to free her, and fasten it on the other unsuspecting woman, Of course he, like mavy others are doing, is play- ing on the ignorant superstition of the woman, and obtaining ber hard- w (earned weekly stipend by” false pre- tenses There may not be any cure for the woman, but the law might take hold jot the “doctor.” h imposters An effort is on foot among some of the oflicials here to secare a pardon for Henry Doyle, colored, sentenced for life ‘for the murder]; of Will Ryan a year or two a Few of the officers have jever believed Doyle guilty of mur- and Ryan were engaged in ame, when a fight ensued was shot, dying several ‘There is something in Doyle's let- ters that arouses pity in the breasts of those who read them, He has written several of the officers here, especially to Deputy Jailer Grady, ends him’as an exempl he several months he who cc prisoner duri | was in jail here. y mace an enter- Col.

A. respected citizen died re- cently after a long residence in Pad- ucah. He had friends by the legicn, und his last hours were not spent lone. Yet atthe final ceremonies |there were few of his friends, and one flower, just one,—a lily sent in perhaps by a stranger,—bedecked his coflin. It looked like mocking irony to. see the little flower lying jalone on the ket that might have been covered; but after all, tlowers and flattery are nothing to one after death forever closes the eyes and ears, Henry Gangh is a well known and enterprising resident of Calvert City, Marshall county. He is a black smith and has asmall store, and nong divers other pc wns a old time corn mill, Henry came ‘to Paducah not long since and found something that would obviate tne expenditure of much physical energy in operating that corn mill. This was a small gasoline engine, and on account of the reasonable price, and Henry's plethoric purse, he bought him one to take home. After becoming fully instructed in its operation, the complacent Marshall county mer- chant betook himself to his rural abode, hugging close his new found treasure. The di ter reaching home he started the contrivance to ranning. 1e natives of that locality had never sfore seen a corn mill run by a com- mon lamp and afew wheels, hence the first yokel to witness the startling phenomenon quickly spread the as- tounding intelligence, and the co horts began to gather, Henry’s limited establishment was completely overrun, aud all kinds and classes of people would come in and make purchases just to see the wonderful gasolme engine work. Business was so good that Henry t his engine at work for three suc- ive days, and says that his store vas continually crowded all that time, and he is now waxing rich. As there are lots of people in the coun- ee who have not yet seen his taven | lays’ wonder, it is safe to predict a prolongation ot his prosperity.

You will find that if the} ten.pou ary f ‘ proper care is exercised inside of houses, that the overflow of yard fixtures would amount to very little, and that the service of the sewers on account of the increased number of fixtures, would de mach more satis- factor: The system will, I hope, meet your ap- proval. The main sewer, which will be a twenty-four inch pipe, will start at Ninth street and be laid east on Court street to Fourth street, north Fourth street to Trimble street, and thence by the shortest rovte to the Ohio river. The mately as follows : On Court street, 1,984 feet; on 848 feet, and from and Fourth streets to the river, 800 feet; a total distance of| for twenty y Fourth street, Trimble the wers practically below the city. From the river to Court street, a ally 2,648 feet, willbave no connec- tion of any kind. On this portion distance of prac! the main sew mauholes will be placed at every other block, starting at Trimble street. On Court street from Fourth to] Lending all Ninth street, all of the lateral sewers | of the party flowing from the north and south| titled to ec with lengths of 3,000 feet and more, oo i will empty into the main submain sewer emptying directly inte the along Broadway to the city limits serving by means of branches th trict north and south of Broadway The grade of the main sewer will be! W foot in 100 feet, the maximum h of cut twenty feet, on de ing eighty pacity of the main sewer will be suf- ficient for a population of 4C,000|t people, ‘This plan concentrates the total sewage within a distance of}) 1,984 feet. The end of all lateral sewers, where a future extension is possible, will be not less than eight inches Where any branch line is com pleted and on account of locality not possible of extension, the first six hundred or eight hundred feet from the flush tank will be six inch pipe, | ending in a manhole from which an cight inch pipe will start. Manholes will be placed at all intersections of | sewers and on straight lines not less than 400 feet apart. Flush tanks, with six inch outlet, will be placed at the end of all branch sewers, tanks must discharge not less an 150 gallons at each flushing. For house connections six-inch pipes will be used from the sewers to the property line, at the property line it is reduced to a four-inch pipe. ‘The of the sewers will be through the house connections and no obstructions of any kind will be| allowed to the free passage of air from the sewer to the top of the soil or vent pipe. The following is a close approxi- mate estimate The main sewer without pumping station, $15,000; the main sewer with pumping station, $20,000 The lateral sewers in the district bounded by Norton street on the south, Thirteenth street on the west, Trimble street on the north, and the Ohio river on the east, $48,000, This will make the cost to a fifty- foot lot $15 to $20 for a connec- tion. As a sufficient water sup; essary to the successful working of a system of pwers, an ordinance should be passed making connection with the sewers compulsory. If the city should own its water works, water connections could also be en- forced and the fullest sanitary bene- fits be secured.
