The sewerage committee met at the city hall last night, and after a care- ful consideration of the engineer muddle, deeided to have an ordi- nance drafted by City Attorney R. '. Lightfoot defining the duties of city engineer and assistant engineer, aod in the meantime, to recommend that the charges against Assistant Engineer Lyon brought by Engineer Postlethwaite and those brought by Assistant Lyon against Engineer Postlethwaite, be withdrawn, and ihe muddle termivated where it now. stands At present there is nothing defio- ing the duties of the respective offi- cials in such an unequivocal manner that there is not some doubt on all questions, hence the duties must be more explicitly detined before charges of derelic tion can be fully sustained. Mr yon, when asked what he would do in the matter of withdraw- ing the charges, stated that whatever was the desire of the committee was perfectly agreeable to him, and it is supposed that Engineer Postlethwaite will be willing to abide by their be- hest also.

It was claimed by the woman that he took her to a bar- becue and on returning dragged her into an alley and tcok improper liberties with her. There was little evidence to sus- tain the charge, and the woman and her mother were shownto be of doubtful cbaracters by the evidence. The woman,farthermore,it is alleged, pereuaded Alex Thomas, colored, to swear a lie and corroherate her. He is now in jail on the charge, and the case against him was continued until tomorrow.
