returned last night from a trip to the
northern part of the State. where tkey
went to look after the interests OF the
road They !onnd matters in good
shape there. and made such arrange
mcnts as tend to tie extension Of the !
line to Greco ncAt season. 1t Is the
present intention ~ make connection |
with the Milwaukee & St. Paul road
at that place as early as July next.
About one-half Of the road between
Fayette and Cresco, distance Of forty
miles is already graded, leaving twenty
miles to build and forty more to iron,
when the road will reach cut l7o miles,
On is main trunk, from Davenport,
and put Us in connection with St. Paul
by rail, and by the D. & st. =. cars,
provided satisfactory lease of track
service can b. obtained from the NJ. &
st. +. The distance from Cresco tc
St Paul by that route is $50 miles
which is about the same as by the d.
u st. l.. survey. In building the D.
&St. Z. over this $50 miles, the road
would encounter considerable expensive
work; aad passil as it would, through
considerable sparsely settled country
the subsidies would be meaerc. Afte,
the line reach, Cresco, which it may
do in one year. provided the money
market is favorable, it will probably be
some years before it will lie extended
by its liac to st. Paul-that is, il
reasonable track service be obtainabIe
over the other line.
The track layers south If Fayette
are getting ahead but slowly, not from
want Of iron, but on account Of Scar
city Of help, it is said. 1t was the
intention Of tie company, as soon as
the iron should have arrived, to lay a
mile ofrail per day. The iron has
been arriving month or 50, and yet
the 50 miles necessary to reach Fay.tte
is not half laid; and it is now said that
the cars will not reach Fayette before
the first Of January. AL of which is
the result Of bad business mana cement.
and sreat.y t. the detrimcnt of the ill.,
tcrests Of tie road which ought to have
been there in time to have taken ava
the crops Of that country, and would
have been under proper attention.
At Cresc,, these officers Of the .oad
fouad the people anxious for the early
approach Of the road. In the light Of
the fact that coal costs them As cents
per bushel- coming from LaSslle or
Oskaloosa, there is no wonder they
want chance at points Of supply
nearer ut hand by direct line.
There were four inches Of snow at
Cresco yesterday, and blowing a per-
feet hurricane, the country round about
having all the appearance of mid win

TO The EdtJr Of he Commercial:
The temporary partial failure OF the water
supply, which we suffered ON Thursday, was ba
enough, but there is no use in exaggerating its
features, and causing needless alarm. We can
not do otherwise than rebuke the sensational
and inaccurate editorial article which appeared
in one of the city papers, yesterday, IN reference
to the subject. Its statements are eXtravagant
aud exaggerated-in some cases entirely incor-
rect Thus the article says that
for about six hours nine-tenths OF the
city was completely cut off from water supply.
Not single drop could be drawn from hydranta
supplied by the main reservoir. The trouble is
now over happily, and resulted in nothing worse
than the temporary stoppage of the mauufacto-
ries ,Sc....... The strike of a fire bell between
/ and o'clock yesterday afternoon, would have
been the death knell of this fair city Not drop
OF water could have been obtained from any fire
plug down town during those six hours"
First, it must be understood that the upper
reservoir did not fail al all. This supplies not
merely one-tenth, but almost one-tfth OF the
whole city. And besides that, for large section
supplied from the lower basin, there was water
enough in the mains, and ii had no tdtinre
This was in the lower part of the city. Mer-
chants on Market street, between End and Sd,
had water all the time, aud the Engineer be-
lieves ON all the streets there was water, as high
up as Second. 1t il therefore safe to say that
of the aggregate consumption of city water, not
more than three-tfths- s-six-tenths--of the city
- was completely cut of from water supply.
Second. that mot a single drop could be drawn
from hydrants supplied by the main reservoir,
is from the above facts, plain misstatsment.
Hundreds of such hydrants, down town, had
water without any failure, at all
Third, the impression is given by speaking OF
'the stopping Of the manufactures" that all OF
them stopped. Only few did 30. John G..
Bakers morocco factory, the morocco factories
near the railroad, and all the numerous large
works, near the rivers, continued without stop

Fourth, the alarming idea is conveyed to oul

| and 10 he Insurance Companies, that a fire OF
any sort even the least, (such as would cause

The Welcome Rain.

LSp or THE DRoUGHr-THE MILLS ON THE BRAN
ulWINE AGAIN IN OPERATION 49, DOWN THE
STATE.
The rain storm. yesterday, was most VOL
come vistant to the people, Of the rural dis
trlets. While in tho immediate vicinity of Will
miUgton it has been moderately seasonable dur
luS the entire summer. there were districts OF
country all around us which gave evidence OF
great need of rain. The streams were failing,
wells were drying up, vegetation parching under
the hot rays of the sun, and the face of nature
c,orywhere was beginning to wear woe-begone
expression of countenance.
The effects of the drought were felt more
kcruly at the mills along the Brandywine than
anywhere else in this immediate vicinity. The
stream was low that the water pumps in the
cty mill have been run, of necessity at much
less rate Of speed than usual. At VIM. Lea ~
Sons, operations could not be commenced until
ten o'clock in the morning, while at Price 4
Phillips mill, adjoining, 1t became necessary to
suspend entirely But the rain of yesterday in

the mills are running. az usual, to-day.
Down the State, the storm was unusually sc

swollen beyond their boundaries and the earth
completely saturated with water. No damage OF

The Bridgeton Affair.

SWEENEY HELD FOR THE DEATH OF YOUNG DAVIS.
Announcement of the death of the junior
Davis was made in the second edition Of the
COMMERCIAL yesterday. 1t seems that after
the blow had been given him he was able to re-
gain his feet, but afterwards became insensble
and fingered until yesterday morning, when he
died
A coroners inquest was then held, which rem
dered verdict that the deceased came TO his
death from blow inflicted by Hugh Sweeney.
Sweeney was therefore committed to jail to
await trial on the charge of causing the death
of Davis This morning ,Sweeneys father start
ed for Bridgeton to endeayor to procure the re-
lease of his on bail, but it is hardly possible
that he will succeed, since murder is not ball
| able offence.
Those of sweeney's friends who were present
and participated in the affray stouty protest his
| innocence. They say the blow WAS struck by
another man and not by Sweeney.
The impression prevails iii some quarters That
the prisoner is already condemned and his fate
sealed-that the trial will be er pdrte one, and
no matter what may be the evidence, conviction
will surely ensue Such a conclusion is ridicu-
lous. The New Jersey people, it is true pride
themselves upon the eXactness with which they
administer justice, but they are never austere.
If man be found guilty of crime, after a falr
and impartial trial, the authorities are gem rally
inexOrable, but we are unwilling to believe that
they ever close the avenues to any attempt of a
prisoner to prove his innocence. Sweeney Will
have a full, free and impartial trial his friends
will be allowed to produce alllegitimate evidence
bearing upon his innocence; the evidence whlch
they adduce will be considered in the light OF the
law and the facts and the verdict OF the jury
whatever it may be, will be made upon the testl-
mony which is brought out at the trial. Ii
Sweeney is guilty,h he will be dealt with according
to law il innocent, he will be acquitted. I'm
partial justice will be administered in either
