U. S. District Court.
The following cases were disposed
of in the U. S. District Court yester
day afternoon:
The case of Bryant Gaston, the
colored highwayman, was tried 'and.,
the defendant was acquitted. He
was charged with assault with in
tent to rob the mail carrier, Mr. M.
Capps, who was going along the
Newbern road about twenty-twb
miles from the city in company
with a friend, on tlie 27th day of
lajt June. They were stopped by
Gaston who demanded their money
whereupon Mr. Capp's friend "drew
a pistol and attempted' to shoot
Gaston. The pistol failed to fire,
however, whereupon Gaston shot
at them aud escaped into the woods.
After hearing the case the jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty,
there being no evidence to show
that there was any knowledge on
his (Gaston's) part, that he knew
Mr. Capps carried the United States
mail.
John Kenuedy. charged with rob
bing the United States mail, sub
mitted the case and was found
guilty. Sentence has not yet been
pronounced and an effort is to be
made in the young man's behalf as
there is good reason for believing
that he is not in his right mind and
has not been for a year past.
Bryant Gaston, charged with as
sault with intent to rob the mails,
was found not guilty.

Board of Aldermen. - - . i'J '.-
A special meeting of the Board of
Aldermen was Jiejd yesterday after
noon to consider the matter of the
sewer now under construction on
Princess street.
Alderman Pearsall submitted an
ordinance making it unlawful to lay
any pipe or drain in any street or
alley of the city for the purpose of
any kind of sewerage without the
consent of the Board, of Aldermen,
and then only in conformity with
such! sauitary requirements as the
County Board of Health shall pre
scribe in writing aud under the di
rection of the city engineer as to the
character and execution ;of the
work!. It further provided that any
one pffending against the provisions
of tliis ordinance shall forfeit and
pay $50 for each violation, j
Alderman Hicks wanted iXo hear
from persons interested in the. sewer
Senator in New Hampshire, New j under construction on Princes
York and Kansas, and possibly also street, and also from Drs. Wood and
Thomas, who were present, j
Capt. R. M. Mclntire, oneofthe
parties interested in the sewer, sta-
from beginning to end, and danger
ous in the extreme an experiment
that had been tried ; by other cities
with the most disastrous results. He
argued, also, that "it would besides
defeat any public system of sewer
age by the city; instanced the fact
that the temperature of the river in
the summer reaches the point of pu
trefaction; Northern cities could
with impunity do what we dare not
do. It is no secret, he said, that
genuine typhoid fever has increas
ed, and its origin begins in sewage
matter. He argued strongly in be
half of a complete and perfect sys
tem of sewerage by the city, under
the direction of a competent scien
tific engineer. . .
Dr. Thomas expressed himself as
thoroughly in accord with Dr.
Wood, and urged the importance of
a properly constructed system of
sewerage. He instanced cases of
typhoid fever which were directly
traceable to foul and improperly
constructed sewers. j
Discussion of the matter was pror
longed, and finally, the ordinance,
being submitted to a ballot, was
rejected by the casting vote of thej
Mayor, who stated that he voted
against the adoption of the ordi
ance because he thought the same1
privilege ought to bo allowed the
tompany asto other citizens, at least
to complete the construction of the
sewer now under way.
On motion of Alderman Post a
sum not exceeding $1,500 was ap
prppriated to secure the services of
a competent sanitary engineer and
securing plans for a complete sys
tern of sewerage.
A communication was received
jrom Mr. Pembroke Jones in regard
to repairs of Chestnut street wharf.
It was referred to committee, and
the Bo.ard adjourned.
