The Cincinnati w Water-Works-The
Water-WOrks Bonds,

The Trustees Of the Cincinnati Water
works having signihsd their intention to look
to the City Council for the payment of the
Water Works Bonds for 100000 due In se5,
and their refusal to provide from their own
resources o Sinking Fund for redemption of
these Bonds, 1t may be well to examine into
the history Of the purchase Of these Works.
Tho city received possession of the Works
June 10, 1899. The property purchased, con.
sisted of q lot Of ground on which the engine.
house is built, bounding 294 feet along the south
side Of Front-street, running south to low
water mark in the rivera lot on the north
side Of Front-street, bounding on the west by
Spring Hil-avenue, fronting 200 feet on Front
and Congress-streets-and parcel of ground
commencing at the east line Of Spring Hill
avenue, extending eastwsrdly, with unequal
depth along the aouth side Of High-street, 500
feet, with tho reservoirs, buildings and ma
chinery thereon-and Il7,42l feet Of wood
pipe, and 2O,4S8 feet Of A, 8 and 1O.incb IRON
pipe-for which the oity issued bonds, due
nd pay able in 1865, for 100000.
Other Bonds were subsequently Issued, and
the Indebtedness in Bonds of the Cincinnati
Water-works Is $s75,OOO. Up to the year
iHe few improvements were made, extending
the lines Of pipe about 1000 feet, and ro-
moving some $4,000 feet OF logs. Since ls4s
great improvemsntshs have been made, by taking
up all wooden pipe and laying large iron
pipes, improving buildings, erecting anil re-
pairing reservoirs, &o., so that the works and
grounds are worth at least one million of dol
lars.
At the time tho works were purchased, the
city numbered o little over forty thousand In
habitants, who obtained their supply Of water
from springs, wells, rain-water cisterns, water
carts, and the Cincinnati Water. works. A
crisis In the affairs Of q private company being
such that, IL not purchased by the city, the

that those agreeing to take tho water should

CAPTURE OF A RUNAWAY NEGRo--DEsrERATE
RsiIsrANcs "A few days since party of men
came across the tracks of fugitive.slave who
was making rapid progress toward the land
OF imaginary freedom. They pursued him to
apoint on the Kentucky River few miles above
Carroliton. Tho negro took refuge in the
stream, and lodged himself on log where he
thought he would be free from capture. The
whites called on him to surrender, but be per-
sistently refused, and drawing pistol threat
ened to shoot the first person that advanced.
This rather staggered his pursuers, but event.
ually one of them stepped forth, and pulled the
trigger Of his weapon. A shot penetrated tho
negro's head, breaking the flesh, and passing
around the skull. which was entirely too hard
to be perforated by bullet. Immediately the
slave fell into the water, and all thought that
no was dead. But no was soon splashing about
and hauled ashore.--Louisvi,te (Ky.) Courier,

| To this case we have already referred, but
the Boston Travslsr gives these particulars Of
the eight days. marriage of Shsler and his
wife:
Last December, Just before Christmas, Mr..
Shsller went to East Boston with load of
wood, ,,and while there saw Mrs. Russell, wife
Of Patrick Russell, laborer, with whom, it
seems, he had previous acquaintance.
She asked him why he did not get married,
and he replied that no had not yet met wo
man that would suit him for q wife, stating
that he wished to marry young woman, when
he married at all. Mrs. Russell replied that
she had two nieces, and she thought one of
them would suit him. She said if he would
come In on Christmas day she would have them
both there, and introduce them to him.
He accordingly visited the house on that
day, and Mrs. Russell introduced her two
nieces to him. He said he had some doubts
which to choose, and finally said he would
take them both out to see his place, and then
marry the one who appeared best pleased
with it.
He subsequently did so, and the result. of
tho visit was his choice of the youngest girl.
Her name was Adelaide vantassel, and she
was native of Nova Scotia. She was then
| q trifie over seventeen years of age, and was
| possessed Of considerable personal beauty.
On the 25th Of January they were married,
and she was Installed as mistress of hi,
house, though two of his maiden sisters con-
tinued to reside with him.
The marriage relations of the couple, how
ever, proved unpleasant, owing to the dis
crepanoy in their ages, and to other causes.
They lived unhappily together, but tho girl
consoled herself with the hope of his death,
and her ultimate possession Of his property.
| Some facts compromising the character Of
the wife were soon after made public, show
ing improper intinacies between her and
several young men, one or two of VIII ON were
employed on the farm.
With one Of these, named Robert Davis, her
conduct was openly and un blushingly profit
gate; her husband having been oyerawed, and
completely under her control. On one ocoa-
sion she accompanied Davis to this city, put
ting up ut hotel, under the name OF Mr..
Harrison and lady. the latter paying the bills.
About two months since Mr.. Shaller's sisters
left his house, having been, according to the
prevailing rumor, turned away from the home
stead. One Of them died at Dedham, and it ia
supposed that her death was caused by grief
at her treatment.
Mr.. Bradlee has in his possession a large
number of letters, written by her to her para
mours, and which furnish proof positive Of her
guilt on the charge for which she has been ar
rested.
