A CHICAGO Wife

Pine street, Chicago, asked her hus-
band for new summer hat and suit,
so that she could make that hateful
creature in the next block see that
there were other people besides
her ladysbip that could dress decent
ly. Owing to the stringency of the
money market he declined to fall in
with her overtures. She did not
press the subject, but few days
afterwards she came to his side, and
leaning her head softly on his shoul-
der. said: Darling, if you were.to
be hit on the head with hammer,
or something Of the kind, so that it.
wouldn't kill you, but hurt you a
good deal, and put you ont of your
mind, wouldn't they make me your
guardian and administrators ?"

sy," he replied, fondling her golden
curls, ''but what a funny question
for you to ask"
"And then," she continued, ap--
parently not having heard the latter.
part OF his sentence "and then I
could do all that I liked with things
and my name would be the same as
yours at the bank, and so on?'
Certainly, pet" he responded,
and she, giving him an affectionate
embrace, hurried away. The thing
somewhat perplexed him, but he
dismissed it from his memory until
very recently, when he met a hard
ware dealer of his acquaintance, who
said: ''Tell your wife I sent her the
biggest hammer we had, but what in
thunder did she want SO large ham
mer for?"
Then cold sweat broke out all
over that young man, and fastening
home he told his wife he had Just
collected bad debt, and here were
$3.50 for her to get that hat and suit
with. And she kissed him and said
she would not take it all, since times
were SO hard, and they must make
every cent go as far as they could;
but he insisted that she should, and
she yielded like dutiful wife, and
when he had gone out she
took the hammer from behind the
washstand, sent it back to the hard
ware store, and told them she
wouldn't need it, but to send her its
worth in self-sealing preserve jars.

The suffering was general, but those who were
employed out OF doors or in artihcially heated
apartments were especially tortured. A reporter
visited the work rooms under a great Broad way

long, IN which twenty fires blazed and threw
out heat that sent the mercury to 1862. The

SUFFOCATED Nv An OLD WELL.
Three Persons DROP Dead. and TIVE Others
Narrowly Escape.

The shrieks OF woman aroused the in
habitsnts of little settlement In Gfecnburgh,
near White Plains, westchester county, before
o'clock yesterday morning, and In q short
time the frame cottage which was known as
Timothy Donovan's home was surrounded by
excited men ana women. They soon learned
that Mr.. Donovan. his son aged fifteen, and his
brofh her were dead In the well In the rear of the

Tne well was dry. It was twenty. seven feet
deep, and two feet and six inLnes In diane eter at

toward the well.
when he entered the yard he saw Timothy

drop dead to the bottom. Cornelius reckles.ly
seized the rope and swung be ow. Almost in

Of the dead, and knew that there was no water,
he returned. AT length trave, strong men went

THE NAUsEous cRoroN WATER.
Chief Engineer Cnmpbelis Explanation Of the
Objectionable Odor and Taste,

Cbief Engineer Campbell said yesterday (:
" Prof. Chandler says that the trouble with the
water-tne bad smell and taste-is caused by
this green scum. or nostoc,' as he calls II. Now,
we have been troubled less this year than usual
with that scum. The rain washed in tho sticks
grass, and vegetable matter, and the lake WIS
not high enough to carry them over the dam (:
and the water percolatlng through this matter,
became impreenatod. The taste and smell given
to the water by the scum are decidedly nshy.
The smell and taste OF the water for the past
two weeks have been of a woody nature. There
Is q large screen that keeps the large floating
matter from coming down, but any screen that
would keep out this matter that troubles us
now, would clog up Immediately. IL could not
be used. There should be another dam above
the Drst, up the river, and another man i'd TO
the city. Then. when one dam became foul,
H. could be drawn on and cleansed, while the
city could DO supplied with water from the
other. But we can't do ANYTHING now. The
Commissioners Of Public Works objects TO any
great expenditure now. on account OF the hard
times, 1t would take tl0,OO0,U0O to build the
new dam and reservoir.
j here has been some talk OF nlterinc: but
that Is not practicable. IL would be very dif-
ncult thing to hlter l00,0OJOOO gallons OF W ter
daily. IL there was any great quantity Of sub
clogged up IN a very short time. The way illter
could be made, would be to have d sin with a
high dam in front, In this basin nI the nltcr OF
stones and gravel. The dam In front would
force the water to pass down through tho filter
and come up ON the other side. but to hitter
iU'OOOOO gallons would require an immense
baBin-acres in extent--and the fact that it would
need constant repairs would make II TOO ex-
pensive. Tho only thing this department can
do now Is TO give the city the best water we
have. We have To bring the water from Cruton
river, and we have to use the water that comes
over the dam. when We get another dam and

the Treasury. Moore had been subpenied by
Babcock's counsel as q witness for the de-
fence. and went to ST. Louis TO testify for the
defence. He was there for some time ami WAS
not examined as witness, because Emory
Storrs, Babcock's counsel, found a more con
ven'ent way OF proving what he wanted Moore
20 swear to. On his return to Washington,
Moore presented bill against the Government
Tor hi. expenses whil In ST. Louis as a witness
Tor babcock. solicitor " Milson refused To pay the
bill, on the ground that Bapcock must meet the
expenses OF his trial and the Government could
not assist him. Shortly after THIS Moore was
dlscharSed. A short tune since the President

date back % the time OF his dismissal Under
this order Mr.. Moore mas been restored. ana has
drawn his pay from the time he left here to go

there. Thus by an order OF the President a por-
ton of the expenses of Babcock's trial. witch
should have oeen paid by BabcOck himself, has
been paid by the Government.
