THE SEWERAGE QUESTHN )
HatthB .City Engineer Has to
-Say in His-latter , .
The System as Designed Some
Ytars Ago by Mr. Phillips.
An Expression o'fDecided Views
on a , Live Topic.
A representative of THE BEE had a
long chat with Mr. Andrew Rosewater -
ter , cityengineer , yesterdayonthegen-
eral subject of sewage. The resuli
of the conversation will be found in
the interview printed below.
"Have we a system -6f sewerage in
Omaha ? " was first asked Mr. Rose-
water.
"Yes , " was the reply , "so far as a
resolution of the city council tends
towards establishing one , we liavo a
system. "
"In what way was this done ? "
"In 1873 the city council of the
city engaged the services of Mr. R. C.
Phillips , the chief engineer of public
works of the District of Columbia , to
devise a system of sewerage for the
city of Omaha. He did so , and sub
mitted a plan and report which was
accepted and adopted by a resolution
of the city council. "
- "Are the sewers which the city has
been constructing the past two years
a part of "this system ? "
"Yes in the main they are. The
general outline of the Phillips sewer
- age plan has been maintained. The
two branches connecting at 13th
street have , I think , been needlessly
, and disproportionately enlarged , but
the direction of the line and size of
the main are in conformity with tho"
plan adopted. "
"What is the general outline of the
plan adopted ? "
"It is substantially this : The city
was to be drainedln three directions ,
north and south into two mains , ard
cast into a connecting main. That is
the two creeks were to bo converted
into main sewers , the north one in a
main through Izard street and south
one through Jones , _ and the. two to ba
connected by a sewer extending along
Hie base of the bluffs on the' Missouri
bottom , forming a junction at Jones
and 5th streets , and from thence to be
discharged into the river at or near
the Union Pacific bridge , and one in
tercepting main was also to go down
12th street from' Dodge and connect
with the north and south main at llth
and Chicago streets. ; "
"Are the proposed sewers to be in
pursuance-of this system ? "
presume "that is the intention
as far as shall bo found practicable ,
though I very much doubt the advisa
bility of carrying out that plan as
things now are. In fact I doubt its
feasibility , from either an economic ! ,
or engineering point of view. "
"Do I unseretand you then as being
opposed tc bonds ? "
"No not at alL Firat of all I think
no matter whAt plan may be adopted
or modifications made , the south creek
should be sewered , or at least the gap
between Thirteenth and Tgnth streets
should be closed and a riygr conngp
tion secured , and as soon as practica
ble , north Omaha creek should also
be converted inlo a sewer and cover
ed over. The first essential before
doing anything is authority to issue
bonds for sewerage .purposes. If
authority is then vested
in the council to go ahead
I believe in thoroughly can
vassing all the various possible
plans that suggest themselves under
misting circumstances and then proA
ceeding. The preliminary surveys and
estimates under the most favorable
circumstances wilPdefer the beginning
of work for at leasb three months. It
will take a monlh to prepare plans
vnd at least one monlh after plans are
> repared for bjds to be received and
till another munlh fpr contractors to
wgiii ; so tliat even in tlio tualtgr pf
compleiJugthe gap between Thirteenth
and Tenth streets , work will not
irpbably bo begun before September
St. " \
"What , in your opinion , -will it cost
o complete the south sewer connection
vith the river ? "
"Tliat depends somewhat on wheth-
r the idea of a junction with the
orth sewer is abandoned or not , as ,
n the event it is , a nine foot sewer
till do from Ninth street to the river ,
Hie in the other event a thirteen
oot sewer will be needed. The cost
f the gap between Tenth and Thir-
centh streets will be. in the vicinity
f § 25,000 , and from Ninth street to
the river it will vary from § 70,000 to
100,000. "
' You speak in the event of a junc-
: on of north with south creek being P'
bandoned. Is there any probability P'T
f any such departure being adopted ? "
"I have not given the subject as
lorough study as' I should wish but
my opinion is that a cheaper and befcr ill
er junction can be .edected with lo
orth sewer by turning it east to the loM
Ivor on Chicago street from its loca-
0
, o"n at 12th as designed. It is only 0th
,300 feet to the river from that point , th
ad as a lateral main is designed on ti
2th from Chicago to Dodge street * it by
will do for all Literal sewers north of
Dodge and apian can easily be de
vised of a lateral main .south on 10th
from Dodge to the fc'outfr creek , " t
"How long will it take to complete
the mains of this city ? "
"Under the most favorable circum
stances under our charter it will take
at least four years , and for this reason
have been figuring upon a feasible
plan for the immediate relief of the
central part of the city , and I have
about come \o the conclusion after Stan
figuring it , are tliat Farnham , Doug
las , Harneynnd Dodge streets could an
secure early and cheap relief by direct
river connection of then- laterals
through : the alleys. A three foot
brick ring tower pfeven 24 inch sewer
pipe "would answer the dewan pf pach TI
tier of blocks if run through the alleys
under the general plan now in vogue.
This could be built to the river by ti
special taxation at a cost of not ex tiD.
ceeding § 80 per business lot and this D.Ti
would afford immediate relief for Ti
sewerage as welTas'surface drainage of
the business portion of the. city. "
"Hpw much will the building of th
main seweM' * curtail Abridge ex-
10
pcnsesf
"I can't answer that definitely , a § it
depends upon the number of streets
det irablo to bn kept opened. It would
Bftvo a great deal m bridge repairs , and it
: conn * if the sewers am to be built
the sooner they are built the more you
will pave in the erection of a now
bridge. Aside of course from this , the
enhancement of values " of adjoining
property'will add some to the result by
ing benefit. In fact in many cities , '
and under former" charter provisions 'j.
this city , property directly benefited TO
turning creeks through sewers is TOO'
assessable for the benefits , accruing by O'
virtue of such improvement. " ad
"Have you seen . Mr. Cook's inter
view Jn tw | Heraldr " .Jtr ,
"Yes , it only touches ppon the sub * -
jectin a general way. "
"What do you think of the idea of Vc
pipe lines laid as suggested , with aview rai
discharge into basins to be pumped
? "
"So far as pipe lines are concerned ,
already stated , they will do , and 3
fact are designed for roost jM the Lo
laterals tinder out preaont system. So ion
far'as flushing them Ts concerned it is ;
very easy matter to pro vide for that ,
The head that they would naturally
Tiave , would make a self-cieans-
ing system an easy matter.
The pumping of sewerage matter
would be waste of money in Omaha ;
that will do where the fall is too slight
to admit of self cleansing or where it is
desired to utilize sewerage matter and
save lake or river contamination. With
such a river as the JMissouri in our
front the effect of Omalia sewerage
once discharged into it will be scarcely
perceptible , and it will be several
hundred years before the sale of any
sewerage deposit will be profitable in
this section of country. "

FROM N1CODEMUS' LAND
Comes a Colored Brother Seek
ing Pecuniary As
sistance.
Rev. S. B. Roundtroe , a colored
preacher about 04 years old , is in the
city endeavoring to secure donations
to bo used in the erection of a new
Baptist church at Nicodemus Colony ,
Graham county , Ks. The history of
this colony touches remotely upon the
negro exodus to Kansas , and is quite
interesting. Mr. Roundtree , who is
the practical head of the colony , was
bora in Virginia , away back in
1817 , but was raised principally
in Tennessee. After forty years spent
in slavery and having been sold seven
times , ho finally obtained his freedom.
About seven years ago ho removed to
Topeka , Ks. , and spent about throe
years there in common laboring work.
About that time he learned that he
could secure some land upon easy
terms , and making inquiries found it
to be located in Graham county , of
that state. Enlisting two others in
the movement , they started out at
once leaving theirfauiiliesbehind them.
On the 17th of June
four years ago , they
landed upon the present site of Nice
demus , "without being able , " as Mr.
Roundtree remarks , "to raise § G be
tween us to save our lives , and after
towing our baggage for fourteen miles. "
The place was bleak and inhospitable
enough , but the men set to work and
others soon followed them and now
there are between 800 and 1,000 set
tlers in Nicodemus and scattered
throughout Graham county. NJcode *
mus is now a post office town and
stone houses arc replacing
thoao of more primitive
construction. Some time ago the
Baptists determined upon building a
church but not having the necessary
cash Mr. Roundtrco started out on a
tour of collection. He has been
Jjrflugll the principal cities , of the
east , including New York , w-horo ho
collected § 02 in Henry Ward
Beecher's church. Ho has collected
§ 800 altogether , and only § 200 more
are required. ' After the morning ser
vice at the Firs. ! ; IJaptist church on
Sunday , Mv. Roundtree will deliver
an address to the congregation. In the
evening he will speak in the First M.
E. church. On Monday it is his in-
: cntion to leave for Lincoln and in
; liat way return home. Mr. Roundtree
says in * regard to the negro oxqdu . ir\ \
Kaunas that moat colored people went
out there with too great expectations.
They expected the land to overflow
with milk and honey and did no I
iiiticipate the hardships incident to
settling all new countries. He says
; hose who have held out qrg satisfied.

MISSING HIS MARK.
Hackman Larson Shoots at
Hackman McNulty and
Fails to Perforate.
About half-past eight o'clock this
mor.-.ing , a driver named McNulty ,
in charge of one of James McMichael's
hacks , and John Larson , driver of a
hack for the Omnibus company , got
into a quarrel in front of the With
nell house , where their hacks were
stationed.
A feud had existed between the
men for some time growing out of ri
valries in the course of business.
Larson was fitting in a cliair on the
sidewalk when" McNulty stepped up
to him , and challenged , him to fight ,
asking him to stand up and defend
himself. Larson replied that he was
not a fighting man and warned Mc
Nulty to keep away. The latter
again challenging Larson struck him
a powerful blow on the nose , cutting
a small gash on the bridge of it , and
at the game time taking a bit of skin
from Larson's forehead. Larson
jumped up and stopped back , pulled
his revolver , and fired at McNulty ,
failing however to hit him. He was
about to fire again when Mr. E. D.
O'Connor , attached to the Witlinell
ho se , interfered and induced Larson
to put up his weapon

ham street at the time rushed up to
the Witlinell and quietly made both
men prisoners.
They were subsequently arraigned
before Judge Bencke , when Larson
was held in § 500 bail to appear for ex
amination to-morrow morning , and
McNulty in § 200 for his appearance.
Both furnished the necessary bail and
they were released.
Larson thereupon made a charge of
assault and battery against Mcr'ulty.
Both men are described ns peaceful
and well behaved. Witnesses of the
fiacas say that McNulty's assault was
decidedly unprovoked and aggressive ,
and Larson was generally credited
with defending himself.
The affair created some excitement
for a while in the neighborhood of the
shooting.

SUNK IN THE MIRE.
A Team of Horses Rescued
From a Mud Hole With
Great D fficulty. '
For some time there has beena very
dangerous hole at the corner of Four
teenth and Douglas streets. The rain
of yesterday nftornbon made this a
man trap of the most dangerous kind.
The street laborers set to work in the
endeavor the remedy the matter and
partially filled the hole with mud , , ex
tracted from an inexhausti
ble suppy in the gutters along
the south side of Dquglas street. This
nuid they topped -on" with dirt and
smoothing it over nicely , made the
whole look like a solid track. About 7
o'clock this morning one of the Tous-
ley Bro's market wagons was coming
down the street heavily loaded with
vcget bleu , and Avhen the animals at
tached to the wagon reached the re
constructed mudholo , they sunk to
their shoulders in soft mire. The
efforts which they made to get
out only sunk them deeper
nto the mire. One of the proprietors
was driving the team at the time and
was obliged to remove all the harness
from . the animals. After stranding
n the pit for about an hour a sufficient
crowd collected to raise one of the
lorscs bodily and remove 'it to firm
ground. The other horse was taken
out after much difficulty. It was
badly trajned in the process raid its
harness nearly ruined. Ex-Mayor
Chase happened by at the
time , and sunk a large stake into the
ground at the dangerous point , and
this will hereafter serve as a warning / \
signal to other teamsters. The matter
created considerable indignation.

of the coat having been ejected ,

here Mr , Ford had placed it wliilo at Enqi

. A long * ihaae followed , and con- 10R

Galligan made after him , and on ,

. Mf. Galligan warned him not 43 IOK
to use it , 6rhe would , kill him , wliich
brought the tiiief to tcrmSj and he sur
rendered.
The fellows carried themselves
with the greatest boldness imaginable ,
and when asked what they had to say
to the charge- Clark inquired whether
he was charged with' grandr petty
larceny. Beim ; told the latter was
the charge , he pleaded guilty , but in
sisted there was no watch in the coat.
May insisted he was not guilty , and
demanded a trial , which was awarded.
Witnesses saw him trying' to sell the
watch. He denied this. Both will
be given the full extent of the law.
There is some suspicion that these
two may belong to the gang of burglars
who did such bold work the other
night.
