A Scarcitv of Water.

The Springfield Mass. Republican oK
Monday says: "Tne water question in
Berkshire County is daily becoming
more serious, as, with the advent e&
colder weather, the prospect OF in-
mediate reliet is lessened. The latter
part of the summer and all the faA
months brought but very little rain, 90
that the streams and springs were NOS
filled, and the manufacturers and towns
have had to draw continually ON their
reservoirs filed by the abundant ratss
of the early summer. In Stockbridge
the town water pipes are entirely empty.
but there are wells enough to prevent
suffering in that sparsely populated viz
lage. The Great harrington authorities
warn the people that the supply OF
water Is short, and must not be wasted,
while in North and South Adams,
though the reservoirs are most advan-
tageously located high up among TIM
adjacent mountains, and are at preseuk
we'll filed, the supply will be none too
much for winter without rain. The
greatest danger OF serious trouble, hoW-
ever, is in Pittsfeld, where the whoia
village is almost entirely dependent en-
the public water-works, many Of the cd
wells, the number Of which was very la-
adequate when the town was muoA
smaller, having been filled up since taa
Ashley water was introduced"

NEWS FROM THE METROPOLIS
Counting the Electoral Vote.

National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-A Herald special
from Washington says there is very
decided prospect that the whole ques
ton in all the various phases OF the
counting of the Electoral votes will be
under consultation by joint committee
of the two Houses by Wednesday mex,
at the furthest. Senator Edmunds
states that the Senate, on Monday, will
concur i'll his opinion without de.
bate or even discussing the propo.
sition of the House for such a
committee TO- argue and settle the
mode of determining the vote, which
will be satisfactory TO both parties ia
and out of Congress. The complete
record found In the journal and verba-
tim report OF the joint conventions
which have counted the Electoral vote
since the f0undati0n OF the Government
nave been compiled for tae use of Con.
Sress and the Committee, ana there will
be no delay i'll getting at work at the
earliest practicable moment. A con.
ciusion, it Is said, can be reached, after
the fullest conference, by the middle Of
January.
End OF the Railroad War.
The railroad war on frelghts has at
last been ended, and to-day is to fake a
general advance in freight rates. E1st.
bound freight rates from Chicago will be
advanced to 30 cents per 100 lbs. on grain
and -four, and TO 80 cents per 100 lbs. on
fourth class and provisions. West-bound
tre!ghts will be advanced to 80 cents per
100 lbs. Oh tirst-ciass, and in the same
proportion OH other classes ali through.
The competitive rates will be the same
on ell the lines. On purely local rates,
as between Chicago ami New York,
baltimore and Philadelphia, Balti.
more will have 10 per eentum, and Phil.
adelphia are about III per centum less
than New York. On local rates between
st. Louis aud New York, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, the discrimination against
this city WILL be about 10 per centum in
favor Of Baltimore, and about 10 per
centum in favor OF Philadelphia. Ran.
road men say, officially, under the new
arrangements, shipments of traffic in
either h'raction irem all cotn@e4.siye
