Kill tor News:
The citizens of Brunswick are some
what at a loss to understand why the
sewerage system of the city is in such
a notoriously bad condition, and
questions and answers are given by
one in a position to know and who
has had considerable experience in
sewerage Vvork, makes the following
answers to several questions pro
pounded to him. /
Query No. I.—Why have the pipes
broken?

tive and has been so for quite a while.
Query No. 2. —Can it tie remedied?
Answer—Yes? By pouting in a
pipe 18 inches in diameter and plac
ing that, far enough away from the
present one to insure first class work
in laying it, and permanent service
afterward.
Query No. 3. —Could tne pipe he
laid in the present position with any
assurance of permanent service?
Answer—No.
Query No. 4.—is the work as now
being prosecuted to be successful?
Answer—No.
Query No. 5. —Why?
- Because there Seems to be no one
in charge to give positive instructions
hs to wnat to do, second, because the
main station through inefficiency <rf
those in charge is not in a condition
even to aid or assist in tljp laying of
the pipe, as neither boilej in the sta
tion can he used. These conditions
should uav been inquired into and
remedied long ago.
What would you suggest as a rem
edy?
The immediate placing in charge of
a competent man or men in the main
station and the laying of the new 1S-
Inch pipe as stated above.

WOLFFE'S NEW THEATRE.
Something of the Play House the For
mer Brunswickian is Building
in Annapolis.
The following from the Norfolk
Landmark will hot of interest in this
"city: w
Messrs. Neff and 1 Thompson, of Nor
folk, have been chosen as the archi
tests for a modern ground 11 dor thea
tre at Annapolis, Md., the seating ca
pacity of which will be completed by
next April, ana is named the Colonial.
Mr. E. D. Wolffe is building the thea
tre.
This statement, made in the New
York Dramatic Mirror of Saturday
last, was confirmed by Neff and
Thompson yesterday, who modestly
expressed pleasure at having been se
lected for the'work. They readily told
the general details of the new theatre
which they say shall in all respects
be a modern, convenient and comfort
able playhouse.
The entrance, or foyer of the new
Colonial theatre, will be through an
old building, the City hotel, dating
back to revolutionary days and in a
fine state of preservation. The archi
tects were entnusiastic over this old
house, especially "the interior, which
is a perfect specimen of colonial fin
ish and decoration. All these will be
faithfully preserved in the foyer. The
theatre adjoins this old hotel, in
which are laid scenes in the play of
Richard Carvel, which was written
from the popular book of the same ti
tle by Winston Churchill.
Tne stage of'the Colonial will lie 34
feet deep and 4(i feet wide, including
fiy galleries, and the proscenium op
ening will be 8 eer by 28 feet. *aere
will be six private boxes, three on
each side of the stage, seating six
each. The orchestra will have 584
seals, the orcliest ra VircTe 194,'the bal
cony J 94 and gallery 306, the total ca
pacity, including the boxes, being 914.
The foyer will be 54 feet by 12 feet
and will include an old colonial stair
way in all its original details.
This property was purchased by a
company from the Gorman estate,
said Mr. E. D. Wolffe, of Whitmire
& Cos., Norfolk, yesterday, the for
mer senator from Maryland, Arthur P.
Gorman, being a part owner.
Mr. Wolffe** to superintend the
building of the house, lie has already
built theatres after organizing com
panies for the purpose, in Greenville,
S. C., Brunswick, Ga., and Baton
Rouge, La. \V. A. Larned, the cham
pion tennis player of the United
States, is expecting to build a modern
hotel at Annapolis, to be called the
Carvel House. Indeed, the interest in
the famous old town, revived lately
by the book and play, "Richard Car
vel," has been very great, and it is
visited daily by many touirsts.
It is very likely that the new play
house will be opened with a perform
ance of the play "Richard Carvel,' as
it is thought to be a most appropriate
;ne for the purpose. “

court room today at the conclusion of
the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Mrs. Frances Stuart to se
cure possession of her 4 year-old

of the father, William Stuart, a po
liceman. Judge Patton decided to
give Mrs. Stuart an opportunity to win
back tne affections of her (laughter
and allowed her to have the care of
the child until November 29.
When an attempt was made to take;
the little girl from her father she
screamed and begged to be allowed
to remain with him. As she strug
gled, when the time for parting came,
her childish voice was mingled with
the sobs and pleadings of her mother
and file voices of a dozen or more
women who surrounded c'n.n. arid par
ents.
Trouble in open court was averted
by Mr. and Mrs. Stuart being induc
ed to retire to an adojining room with
the child, where Judge Patton coun
seled with them. The court advised
Stuart that, it would be best for him
to advise the child to stay with tier
mother and allay her fears as much
as possible. This was agreed to by
Stuart and he left the court room in
company with his wife and daughter.
