THE HARTFORD DAILY COURANT: TUESDAY. JANUARY 29. 1895. OF THE STATE, NEW BRITAIN AFFAIRS. WORK DONE ON THE SEWERS DURING PAST YEAR.

Preparing tor Race With Bristol Established of St. Here-Pro- Anfessor Perrin on Lite In Ancient Greece-Other Local News. Although the sewer department has not been so active this year as last, still a goodly amount of work has been done. In an interview with Engineer Cadwell, clerk of the board, "The Courant" reporter learned facts of general Interest. Sewer construction during the past year has been confined to a few sections.

The northeast sewer and the extension of the Glen street sewer were completed, a pipe sewer laid on Cherry street and a similar one on Edson street. It was in the construction of the Glen street sewer that faulty bricks were used, from which something more will be heard in the future. On Cherry street 1,900 feet of pipe sewer have been laid and on Edson street a sewer of 600 feet. This is a total of 4.000 feet laid during the year at a cost of about $20,000. Last year two and nine-tenths miles were laid, about three times as much as was done the year before.

The total amount of sewerage in the city at present is 102,271.28 feet, most of the central streets being well provided for. During the year ten catch basing 'and fifteen receivers have been constructed in different parts of the city, against eight catch basins and eight receivers during the year preceding. One more catch basin remains to be constructed on North street. Although the central part of the city is well provided with sewers, there are certain sections of the city which are entirely unprovided. West Main street and the side streets running from it beyond Vine or Curtis street, the northwest slope of Walnut hill, including Hart.

Linwood, Griswold, Winthrop, Highland, Columbia, Cambridge, the lower end of Kensington street and the Shuttle Meadow road are examples. It is well known that any section without sewers grows slowly and so the people are anxious to secure the accommodations. Work on the Cherry street extension will probably be begun in the spring. The sewer commissioners are already looking over plans for the purification of sewage. It is usual in all systems of purification to separate the sewage And the storm water.

The solid matter in sewage under this system is only about 2 per while under the tem now in vogue here it is less than one-fourth of one per cent. The greater the volume, the greater the difficulty in purifying it. When it becomes neeessary in the future to bring about this change here, it is probable that a new system of pipe sewers will have to be built to carry off the sewage proper, while the present system will be used for the storm water. For the former a twenty to twenty-four-inch pipe is all that is needed. Meriden, where this system is in vogue, has only an eighteen-inch pipe.

As soon AS the plant at New Rochelle is in working order the sewer commissioners will pay a visit to it in order to obtain an idea of the plan for chemical purification. Brotherhood of St. Andrew. Several lectures have been given here recently upon the work and purposes of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, an organization of young men chiefly, In connection with the Episcopal Church.

The horsemen are busy making preparations for the races with Bristol horsemen, which is soon to come off. The track is being prepared in Plainville. The local horsemen who are to take part in the races will probably be H.

L. Mills with David Henry Norton with Lady Crow, W. T. Holbrook, who has a new horse said to be a flyer, E. G.

Babcock with Tommy Boyle Daly with Jim Crow, and Charles Andrews with Hattie M. The track on Walnut Hill is the scene of many brisk spurts and it is generally recognized that H. L. Mills has the best horse in the field in David with Jim Crow a good second. Bristol has some good horses and there should be no lack of good sport when the races commence.

Life In Ancient Greece. A goodly number of people interested in the higher education were assembled in Normal Hall last evening to listen to the lecture on the life of the ancient Greeks by Professor Bernadotte Perrin of Yale University. The lecture, which was both interesting and instructive, was illustrated with stereopticon views, showing many of the scenes and eircumstances surrounding Hellenic life and customs. Professor Perrin, in opening his address, spoke feelingly of his carly association with New Britain people and stated that it was always pleasant to speak on the subject of interest to one. but of especial pleasure to speak to people with whom one has more than a passing acquaintance.

He touched first upon the Grecian ideas of death and contrasted those ideas with modern notions on that same subject. People in former times buried with their dead useful articles to help them in the next world. It finally came to be a fad to place handsome and beautiful things on their graves. The lavish expenditures reached such proportions that laws were finally made by Solon restricting the amount expenditure. The Greeks would find nothing gloomy in death, but made it seem as mild and beautiful as possible.

Little images of terra-cotta were placed on the graves and other images were buried with them. Arrested in Hartford. Albert Remington was arrested in Hill's livery stable on State street, in Hartford, yesterday Lieutenant O'Donnell for stealing hardware from P. F. Corbin's factory here.

Since the first outbreak of the grip, several years ago, the disease has been carefully studied. It has not Improved on acquaintance, It Is still regarded as one of the most treacherous and dangerous of maladies, all the more to be feared because it most often comes in the guise of a simple cold. Its true character is not always recognized, until the victim lies moaning with a pain that presses on every organ, and strikes to the very bone.

The grip fastens itself upon people who worry, work too much, ent too much, or too little, expose themselves to cold and wet, and so get to be weak, thin-blooded and run down.

A sneeze. a cough and a slight chill, the first symptoms of grip.

They indicate defective circulation and general weakness. Strength, appetite and full regular cfreulation follow the use of Duty's Pure Malt Whiskey. The Insidious little cold never becomes anything more serious and in a few days It goes away altogether. Good riddance to it. The grip is now prevalent in the Northern and Eastern states, and the weather has favored its progress.

At one time I feared blood poisoning. For months I was confined to the bed. "My constitution wasted and I totally lost my appetite.

and the almost immediate change it wrought was wonderful. I regained my appetite, the dizziness in my nead departed, my nerves were made perfectly strong. it renewed my interest in life and made me feel, in fact, like another woman. taking six bottles I thankfully proclaimed myself well and strong. Those six bottles of Dr.

Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy did for me what hundreds of dollars and numerous physicians failed to do. I cannot do credit to its merits. Truly it should be lauded to the skies. I advise everybody to take it." Think that letter over, sufferers.
