SEVERAL HOUSES sUBMERGED-FIxING
ME BROKEN BANKS.
The food in South Wilmington.
caused by last Sundays storm, has not
yet subsidized in any considerable
degree and some of the inhabitants
are still greatly inconvenienced by the
state of affairs. The food approached
the built up portion of the locality
from the east and west, but stopped
before it reached the greater portion
of the houses. OF to the west, towards
Market street. row of about ten
frame houses, occupied by colored
people, were submerged in water near
ly to the second floor, and the occup.
ants were forced to seek other quarters
in boats. These houses are still uu-
inhabstable. as the water has not yet
subsided to any considerable extent.
On the east side. q two-and e. half
story frame house, occupied by q
colored man named John Murray,
which stands by itself about 70 yards
south of the Third street bridge, was
flooded to the second story, the water
from several breads in the Christiana
banks pouring directly across the lot
on which the house stands. The fami-
ly were forced to hastily retreat to the
second story, and they took their pig
along with them,..in order to save its
life. They still reside in the house
and communicate with the outer world
by means of boat.
| In two brick houses on Lobdell
street, below Claymont, occupied by
Geo. Hume and Richard Shannon, the
water covered the first floor to depth
of about three feet. 1t has since sub
sided, but the ground Immediately
around these houses is still partially
submerged.
The other houses of the Southside
escaped with little or no damage,
at one time during the storm it looked
as if all the citizens would be obliged
to flee across the bridge for safety on
higher grounds.
| The Christiana bank, at the point
where the water pipes enters the
South side, near the lower end of the
bridge, was broken by the storm, and
workmen are now engaged in repairing
this and the other breaks along the
banks.

THE RESERVOIR.

WHAT NIB. yEBIGER THINKS SHOULD BE
DoNE-HE PRoNoUNCEs THE Pudding
CLAY A FAILURE.
At the meeting of the City Council
last evening, Mr.. Febiger, Chairman Of
the Water Committee, made statement
in refesence to the condition Of Cool
Spring Reservoir. He said that the FL,
nance Committee had stated that money
could be raised for the continuation Of
work on the reservoir, and that the
Water Committee had discussed the sub
ing. Mr.. Febiger then proceeded to dis
cuss the condition of the basin and
said
That the drainage pipes which run
across the bottom of the basin are two
and three inches In diameter, and yet
they all discharge into q 2-inch pipe
which runs under the bank. This pipe
would soon fill up; therefore it will have
to be taken out and substituted with a
6-inch pipe. To do this it will be proba-
bly, necessary to cut through the bank to
| distance of or s feet below the
base.
Another objection Is the marsh mud
used for pudding; it will all have to
| come out, as it is not fit for pudding
purposes, and was so pronounced by the
last consulting engineer.
The best plan will he to 60 tn work
this winter and connect the "a inch main
| leading to the Tenth Street basin, with
the exit along Eleventh street, so as or
5 feet of water can be placed in the new
reservoir, and thus give the banks q
thorough test. The banks would then
settle more compactly, and the basin be
in good condition for. pudding next
Spring. To commence the pudding now
| would ha fnol.ch ha
fatal to the work.
The marsh mud which is being used
for the pudding is hardly fitted for the
purpose. have used it ia some scientific
pursuits, and find that when put into
water it dissolves into soft mud. 1t is
also likely that it will deleteriously af
rect the water, as it is composed of mud
and decayed vegetable matter. The
Chief Engineer has no faith in it, an6
Mr.. Kasson, the consulting engineer, hal
said that he didn't think it would an
swer. The previous consulting engineer
Mr.. Merris,. had approved it, but it is
very probable that his mind was rapidly
failing during the last months of his
life.
The two-inch pipe through the bank
will have to come out; it may not bt
necessary to cut out the bank to put il
the six-inch pipe, or forced in by by
drauhc pressure.
The Water Committee, however. will
make no proposition until the subject
has been carefully considered at % full
committee meeting.
Mr.. Paynter said it had always beeI
his impression that the pipe under the
bank into which the drainage pipe
emptied, was three inch pipe. If Ii
was only two inch pipe it was certainl,
too small, but the previous Water Com
mittee were not to blame for it, as tn
consulting Engineer, Mr.. Morris hat
overlooked the work. and also approve,
the pudding clay. He thought it woult
be good idea for the committee to con
suit some efficient engineer, before de
Gliding upon any plan Of operations.
Mr.. Febiger agreed to the latter sug
gestion and said he would like to consul
with Mr., Frederick Graeff, of Philadel
phia, whom he considered the best waite
engineer in the country.
The subject here dropped.

Dispossesss,,o a Contractor.

VIM. b. DAVIS AND HIS FORCE REMOVED
FROM ELEVENTH STREET QUARRY BY
THE POLICE.
The City Council, last evening, as
will be seen by the proceedings, an
nulled the contract of VIM. B. Davis
for quarrying stone at the Eleventh
Street quarry, and ordered the Street
Commissioner to dispossess him.
Yesterday afternoon, Capt. Cropper,
OF the police force, was sent down to
the quarry. with instructions to bring
Mr.. Davis before the Mayor. He con-
Quoted Mr: Davis and his two bosses
before the Mayor and also before Mr..
Davis counsel, John c. Patterson,
Esq, both OF whom advised Mr.. D. to
quarry no more for the present. as the
city was about to annul the contract.
This morning Mr.. Davis force of
twelve men were at work as usual in
the quarry, and the Street Commissioner
took seven policemen, under command
OF Capt. Chopper, to dispossess them.
A large crowd numbering nearly 300.
preceded and followed the police, ex,
pecting to witness lively ARRAY. The
workmen, however, wisely made no
resistance, and suffered the police to
collect their tools (they having just
finished a blast) and lock them in the
tool chest. The men were then taken
to the City Hall, where they were re-
leased from custody.
Davis, who has contract duly signed
by the Mayor for the quarrying
of stone from the Eleventh street
quarry, will institute proceedings
against the city. for damages, on ac-
count of toe action of the Council, ,and
has referred the ..case to his counsel,
John g. Patterson, Esq.
