CHICAGO, May 11.-Wm. Dormady,
one of the plasterers employed In the
west wing of the Chicago Court
House, and who was under the ruins
of the fallen roof for an hour and a
half, has brought an action of tres
pass against the city to recover $780,
900 damages sustained by him. 1t is
likely that the other Workmen, who
were employed in the building, will
bring action to recover damages for
injuries, In case Dormady succeeds.
A petition was received at Sheri-
dams headquarters in this city to-day,
signed by 218 citizens and settlers in
the SWeetWater district of Wyoming
Territory, mostly miners, urging the
necessity of more efficient military
protection against the Indians in that
region.
The petitioners state that there
were 2, 500 inhabitants in that country,
a large proportion of whom are Wo-
men and children. The chief object
of the men is to develop the Sweet
water mines, which are very rich, but
that they are in constant danger of
depredatiOns from rowing bands OF
Indians, who infest that section of the
country. Last season, numerous
thieving and murderous attacks were
made by these Indians, and they have
reasons to apprehend worse trouble
from the same source during the pres
ent season, unless efficient preyenta-
tive measures are promptly taken.

Tho Water Works BleetIOn-A Card.
Editors journal;
1t is a fact too well known to all of
us, that until we shall erect Water
Works we shall never, exceptin locali-
ties very near the river, command water
enough to extinguish a fire of any
considerable magnitude; and should
confagration once make much head
way, the Fire Department would be
powerless to suppress it. and the city
would be at the mercy of the flames.
1t has been shown US plainly, that
with Water Works in operation on
the Holly plan, very destructive FIRE
is almost impossible.
1t is not, in my opinion. necessary
that there should be vote of the cit
izens to enable the City Coun
ell to go to the expense of full sur
veys and estimates by competent
engineers. But the Council seems
to think such a vote is neces-
| sary. Impressed as l am with

The Louisville Commercial is out

The Louisville Commercial is out
in q bright new dress. IL says it
came to Louisville TO stay, and pro-
poses to do it. The reason assigned
for changing the type so soon--about
three months-after starting. is that
subscribers objected to the smallness
of the type used. Besides, though the
Commercial don't say~so, small type
makes very expensive composition.
While the change is expensive. we
congratulate the Commercial on its
improved appearance, and trust it
will live long to advocate the princi
pies of Republication in the most
benighted State, politically, in the
Union.

Proposition for Constructing Water
Works.
To the Committee on Water Works, Of the
City Council, Evansville. Ind.

To the Committee on Water Works. Of the
City Council, Evansville. Ind.
! GENTLEMEN:-I desire to propose
to construct Water Works in yeur
city, under the Holly system" in
cluding twelve miles Of main pipes,
and their appurtenances, pumping
we'll, drift through river bank, to which
viii be connected "Holly's system" of
artificial fltering, guaranteeing five
million gallons of Ohio River water
daily, which shall be free from all
turbidity; also pumping house Of suit
able style, rendering said Water
Works complete, less the machinery,
for the sum of $175. 900. Add the ma
chinery which will be furnished by
Holly Manufacturing Co.. for the sum
of 100000 complete, making the ag-
gregate 1926, ,0O0 Said works shall
have capacity to throw six one inch
streams of water at time, one hun
dred feet vertical. and continue the
ordinary supply of water for domestic
use at the same time.
The above excess over my estimate
of the cost of the said
Works, submitted March 18th, 1870,
appertain to the additional four miles
of mains; and the doubtful informa.
tion furnished me at that time in re-
gard to the character of the bar
formed in the river at the eastern
limit of your city. Instead of coarse,
sharp sand, containing gravel, find
an aggregate of water worn PARTICLES,
derived from pre- existing rocks and
other mineral substances, but worn
so fine that there is produced miry
deposit, which. when saturated with
water, quakes or shakes under ones
feet. Hence, a system of artificial FL
tration becomes necessary, which will
produce clear water.
l would state that the twelve miles
of large main pipes, properly distribu-
ted, will extend through all the prin-
cipal streets in your city, from which
small lateral pipes Of four inches
diameter can be extended; thereby
every citizen will be supplied with
clear water.
I further desire. gentlemen, to offer
as my security, T. G.. Gaylord, Gin
cinnati. o., I. T. Flagler, Lockport.
NY, and John Todd, Covington Ky.
Yours, respectfully.
