COOP NEWS FOR DRY PEopLE.-Under the
energetic supervision Of Alderm IN Potter, the
chairman Of the Committee on Streets. the
work on the various public cisterns has been
completed. On examination of the Spring
street cistern only six inches Of water were
found, owing, it is supposed, TO cracking o1
the conductors. That cistern will, therefore
not be opened at present.
In nHasel and Glebe streets good. substantial
pumps have been erected over the cisterns
and those reservoirs will now be open to thu
public. The keys to the former will be fount
at the stores Of Messrs McLoy & Rice and A
II. Hayden. and Of the latter at the houses i'm
mediately north Of Grace Church, in Glebe
street, on the east and west sides.
A pump is being erected near the corner O
Smith and Beaufain streets, which will give q
good supply OF excellent pump water to th,
dwellers in that vicinity. These improve
ments are timely, and will confer great benefi
upon our citizens.

Homicide in williamsburgh, N. Y

One of the most distressing affairs which we
have been called upon to record lately, occurred
at Williamsburgh, New York, on Tuesday last
The parties concerned We're jeremiah Stricl-
land and Isaac s. Waters, and it was at the
residence the latter that the tragedy occurred.
Strickland some years ago married a sister OF
Mr.. Waters, and for time supported her re
srantahly aud we'll but Of late he has become
wild and dtssipated, has given no material aid
to his vile, and has even, il is said maltreated
her. Whatever may have been the cause
however, the lady found it necessary at length
to leave her husband, having frequently before
the final separation taken refuge from his
brutality at the residence Of Mr.. Waters. her
brother. Rven while there she was not freed
from his presence, for when intoxicated he
frequently called at the house and raised dis
turbances with his wife and her relatives. On
Tuesday afternoon about half-past II o'clock.
he made one Of these calls, and, after some
trouble with his wife, engaged in an alteration
with Mr. Waters, who, as he alleges in the
statement given below, fired at him in self
| defence, two balls taking effect in the left
breast near the heart The following is the
statement of Mr., Waters, which tells the story
in detail
My brother in-law has been on a spree fo,
about month; his wife used on such occasions
TO make my house an asylum; at noon TODAY
he called at my house and stated that he
wanted to see his wife; then told her. and
she went to the door; then Withdrew. be

have right to talk, but you were so beastl,
drunk in another room when your wife was
confined that the doctor was not allowed tf

settle the matter with you, he then went down
and the women being afraid to go down ant
close the door, | went down. | said to him
When you are sober, Jerry, will talk will
yon.' He then turned on me, and, as he is Q
powerful man, ran up stairs. He followed
me 10 the second story, holding me bv tn,
hair of the head, aud commenced grapplinl
with me. My wife, believing my life to be ii
danger, handed me a revolver. told hin
then to get back, or should fire. He, how
ever still grapped with me, and in the scunl,
the pistol went oil, hitting him somewhere,
think, in the left breast. He then said, ''You
have shot me" and became soon after power
less. l did not intend to shoot him, and Ii,
admitted in the presence of a number of per
sons his belief that did not intend to Shoot

severe, but we feel convinced that the ma

Princess assertion.

WORD FOR THE LIVING SoLDIERs.--It
is unfortunate that so beautiful and touching
u ceremony as the decoration OF the soldiers
graves should be so largely under the con-
troll of partzan observation-disclosures as
an almost necessary consequence OF that fact
the great body OF the public are kept at "A
distance. The New York Star "a non par
tizan journaD recommends the "Grand
Army of the Republic' now 10 turn their
attention TO The hopeless condition OF the
Hging soldiers, and says; "Whateyer may
be the opinion of any of us as 10 the 'cOn-
duct OF the war; there can he no well
grounded differences of oplnion as 10 the
shameful treatment awarded the manned and
helpless privates who fought the battles. No
other nation would expect its soldiers to risk
life and lose limbs in its service without some
compensation other than glory, and VIC have
no doubt that the spectacle OF one-leggcd,
one-armed veteran grinding hand organ on
the Partisan 60uidD0Td would create II dis.
lurbance so great and so immediate that all
the enginery of Napoleon would be
impotent TO quell il. Our advice To Gen
Grant, and all the well paid host that share
with him the honors OF grateful people,
would be, use your influence with the
nation TO reward the lieiRg and let the dead
bury the dead.n

DEATH FROM CONFERENCE.-The Eliza
OgbOrn died at her residence, in Philadel.
phia, few days ago, from corpulence. She
two years ago, and it is believed that she
weighed six hundred pounds at the time of
her death. Owing to her great weight she
was obliged TO sit on a sort of box, as no
chair could be found large or strong enough
10 bear her. In dying, Mrs. Ogborn fell 10
the floor, and it was the utmost that six
strong men could do 10 raise her by means
ol the carpet on the bed. 1t was then
thought best to remove the body to the
ground floor oil the house, and some eight or
ton men were required for that service. The
coffin was three feet wide and there were
twelve pall.bearers.

A banker was passing through one of the
streets OF Chicago the other day. A friend
of his, a half block behind, whistled ailel
him. Not hearing, the banker hurried on,
until overtaken by his friend. "Lord, y
says the whistler, 81 have been trying ia
oyertake you lor ten minutes-didn't you
hear me whistle after you ~ "Yes, !" re.
piled the banker, "but do you suppose that
i am dog, to be whisiled at in the street ~
It was good hit, and the whistling tribe In
all parts of the country should take no.
tice. They are numerous IN this part of the
world. One of their exploits is 10 whistle
after walters in eating saloons. The pro.
prietor OF one of these places recently or
dered his walters to take no notice of a Gus.
toner that whistled for attendance. The re.
suit is that whistling is deiunct in that res.
taurant.
