THAT TROUBLESOME SEWRR.
Ixnmincd Vrstcrdny bv Cltv Iinctli"
cer unit Street ('nmnilmloiicr.
An examination of the inteilor of tlie
Pine Uremic cieek sewer with a view
toward leniedvliiff its peilodlcal chok
ltifj nnd hacklriff water In the linlty
of Wnhluuton avenue was yesterday
made by City KiiRlnuer Phillips and
Street Commissioner Dunning. They
cnteitd Its mouth at the Lackawanna
liver and walked tliiough It to Its
source near the Holes wheel wonts.
i'lio cause of the tioublo was located,
but the means of overcomlnc" It nnd
tho cost will be determined later by
the city engineer.
The sewer is four feet In height east
nnd west of Washington avenue. At
the latter point tho culvert was orlff
innllj eight feet In diameter. A few
years ago two feet of masoniy was
laid In the bottom and two feet In the
loot of the culveit to conform to the
helghth east and west, but It remained
eight feet 111 width, two extta feet on
euh side. It Is this extia width which
has caused the choking. The euirent
thiows Its refuse nlong either side of
the culvert, where It accumulates until
a tiemendous fall of rnln either washes
It clear or adds moie flotsam to what
has alicady been deposited.
The choking sometimes extends to
west of the mouth of the Phelps street
blanch, which In turn causea annoy
ance. It is believed that by making tho size
of the culvert conform In helghth and
width to the othei parts of the sewer
the tumble can bo overcome. This will
cost in the nelghboihood of four or five
bundled dollais, though the exact
amount cannot be detei mined until the
city engineer prcpaies his report to
councils and which will probably be
piesented next Thuisdav night.
VITO WAS THRIFTY.

When Jos'-ph Cassesse suspected

OTII13R VIOLENT DI3ATHS.
The untimely end of young Dessauer
Is the seventh nnd possibly tho eighth
violent death of joung nnd unmarried
