ANTI-WATER,

To Che Editor ofhe Morning Post
Can you tell Tue the reason that so
many people are so anxious to have
the water introduced in the city? 1t
looks very much as if somebody wanted
to feather his nest, and wish our citizens
to foot the bill. What is it to accom-
plish, even if these gentlemen should
be able to bamboozle us into supporting
the measure? All the cities in the
Union have but recently finished their
water-works, and it is not too late Tor us
to commence ours, ten years nencel
after we have paid the scrip, issued
by our city during the war and bought
up by some of our worthy and wealthy
citizens, when no one else would buy it.
1t is true, it was bought forlittle or moth
ING. vet these gentlemen should not
lose because they bought it low. Specu-
latine is common in everything, and
WHY not in deprecated currency. Let
as have this settled, and several other
matters, and then we will be in condi.
ton to talk about water-works and Othel
so-called improvements. These people
that have water on the brain are trying
their best to convince the dear people
that the city Is to be benefited by the
introduction of water; but /, for one,
can't see the point. We have very
good supply of water and every time il
rains it Is freshened and the supply re-
newed. The plan these people have IN
view has not been made public. Will
some of the gentlemen who are in favor
of this project, tell us how the work is
to be accomplished, and If it is possible
These brain people appear
to me to be as crazy az any lunatic who
has some particular hobby to ride al
the time. But they will be something
like the lunatic they will have thell
trouble for their pains; for guess they
viii not accomplish much. 1t will be
like the man shearing the hog: it is a
great cry and little wool. Let these gen,
tlemen try something more feasible, and
they will have the support of
COMMON SENSE.

A grand expose of the internal work
ings of 1.-THE United Service Petroleum
Company" took place before Justice

dent and General Superintendent of one
of the new oil companies, has been az
rested by officer Andre, of the court

Twenty-third street, who charges Mann
and Daniel Stratton, Jr., q partner of
Mr.. Mann in the petroleum and mining
business, with having defrauded him
by means of false and fraudulent repre-
sensations. The complaint alleges that
Etratton & Mann obtained subscriptions
to the amount of 900 for certain
shares in the capital stock of the United
Service Petroleum Company, named an
institution which they advertised as
having $500,0OO capital, in one hundred
thousand shares of S. each, and that the
accused parties had obtained money
from several gentlemen whom they had
roped into the concern. Mann, who
was taken at the Astor House, was COM
mitted to await an examination. We
give the details in another column. This
company was incorporated under the
laws of New York with capital OF
$5OO,OOO. Major Gen. Hancock is the

and by others, whom this deponent
does not now recollect, further and other
sums amounting in all to upward of
$57 500, as aforesaid.
Deponent further saith that he is in
formed and believes that the whole of
the property mentioned and described in
said prospectus, did not cost said Mann or
Stratton or either of them $1,000.
Deponent therefore charges that all of
the aforesaid representations and preten-
ses so made to him by said Mann and
Stratton were entirely false and fraudu-
lent, and that they were made by said
Mann and Stratton to deponent for the
purpose Of cheating him; and that by
these fraudulent representations he was
defrauded of $500; and that all the per-
sons named above, have also been de-
frauded by Mann and Stratton, by means
of said fraudulent representations, of a
large amountofmoney andthat Through
these false and fraudulent representa-
tions and pretenses the said Mann and
Stratton have obtained $40, 900 and up
ward.
Wherefore deponent prays that said
Mann and Stratton may be arrested and
dealt with according to law.
