Muddy. water.

Editors Dispatch: For more than three
,ceeks this city has been furnished with
muddy aoater, which is a disgrace to the
Water Committee and the Superintendent
OF the Water Works. We were under the
impression that Colonel Cutshaw, the City
Engineer, promised Us clear water after the
new reservoir was completed. We have a
diyision-wall in the new reservoir. Then
why is the water not drawn from one part,
and thus allow the other to settle, and in
that way allow the red mud to go down,
and furnish us with water free from mud
that sticks in the mouth and colors every
glass and pitcher used !?
There is blame to be laid at the office of
some man. Can 1t be Mr. DaUiS, chairman
of the Water Committee or Mfr. DdUis, Sa.-
perintendent Of the aoater-uorks or Colonel
Cutshap, engineer of the city of Richmond? /?
Come, gentlemen, let US hear from you-one
and all. The public have stood this muddy
water as long as it is proper; we want to
know if there is a cause. Is there harmony
between the officers? Is every man willing
to do his part and to work for the good OF
our psople? This matter of water is q sub
iect II the greatest Importance to the health
and comfort OF all our. citizens.

accidentally Wounded.-Friday after.
noon a colored man named Ned, living on
Judge Perkins's farm below the city, had
been discharging the old loads from re-
volycr. Thinking, as he says, that the cart
ridges had all been fired, he handed the
weapon to q man named Barrett Wilkinson
to examine.
Unfortunately as is the case with most
pistols supposed to be harmless, one OF the
chambers contained load, and as Wilkin-
son was handing it the cock slipped and the
load went of, the ball entering the body OF
a colored youth named Crawford Cox, who
happened to be passing around the barn
near where the parties were standing. DR..
Mathews says the ball went In under the
points of the left ribs, and that he thinks 1t
is now lodged in the kidneys. The Doctor
told us yesterday morning that CoN's wound
was q very serious one.

MARROW ESCAPE FRoA DEArH-A MAN
BURIED ALIVE. IA bout O'clock yesterday
AFTERNOON two colored men named Moseley
White and George Gilpin narrowly escaped
death while at work in the foundation OF
the Grangers' warehouse, which is being
built on the lot on the south side OF Gary
street not far from the Danyilie depot, be-
tween Thirteenth and Virginia streets,
4 number Of stone-masons and laborers
were ut work building q heavy granite wall
on the west side of the foundation, about
twenty feet below the level of "Shockoe
Slip" Suddenly, without any premonitfon,
a heavy bank OF earth and remnants OF an
old brick wall cayed in, burying beneath
the debris the two colored men already
named. Moseley White, who lives in Man
chester, was at work nearest towards Gary
Street, and he was soon pulled out, and srs-
tanned only slight injuries in his right leg
and side. E'!t" ~
Gilpin was covered by fully five or six
feet Of earth, immense stones and brick
from the old wall. A crowd gathered di-
rectfy, and workmen commenced digging
for the poor fellow. AT first they hardly
knew where to dig, but finally they saw his
thumb sticking out, and in short time his
head was uncovered so that he could breathe.
Meanwhile the city ambulance was sum-
moned, and came to the scene with all
speed, provided with surgeon and all ne
eessary appliances for the relief of the man.
The workmen dug away for nearly an hour
and half, and finally the man was gotten
out, put on litter, and his wounds dressed.
The surgeon, DIR. James, who accompa-
MED the ambulance, found that the man was
injured internally, and that nearly all of the
scalp on the left side of his head was cut
off-indeed, before the wound was sewed
up the pulsation or throbbing OF the brain
could be plainly seen by the bystanders.
Although in this condition while in the
earth he gave directions to the men how to
dig him out, and hurried them in their
movements. He was removed to the aims
house in the ambulance, but Moseley White
was able to walk home. DR.. James was un-
able to decide after his first cursory eXami-
nation whether Gilpin was fatally injured,
but was certain that he was dangerously
hurt. ..

A letter from Mr.. Manton Marble, retired
editor Of the New York World, addressed to
a Liberal Republican, published in the New
York Sun of Saturday, gives very tersely the
reasons why the independent vote should
be cast for Mr.. Tilden. The letter is able,
and though concise and full OF matter, occu-
pied two columns and half.
An enthusiastic correspondent Of the Chi
caeo Tribune says Mr.. Joaquin Miller's con-
yersation is "full Of fiery grace" and re-
meats a choice morsel OF 1t. "ConWay,'
said Mr.. Miller" what fellow he is for a

| LARGE FIRE AT THE CESTENNIAL-GREAT
EXCITEMENT AT THE ATLAS HOTEI..-A fire
of considerable magnitude and entailing a
large loss occurred Saturday morning at an
early hour within an enclosure situated
about an eighth Of mile from Machinery
Hall, between the Atlas Hotel and the Penn
sylvania railroad, within which are stored,
in sheds built over them, all the packing
boxes in which the goods for exhibition
were transported to the Centennial. These
boxes were Of all sizes and shapes, and were
located here until after the exhibition,
when they were to have been again brought
| into requisition when the goods were to be
returned home after the exhibition closed.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says: The fire
was undoubtedly an incendiary one, but no
one has as yet been arrested. Owing to the
distance from the tracks of the Pennsylya-
mia railroad their trains were not detained.
The heat was such that the track which runs
through the lot between the sheds was con-
siderably damaged, the ties burned and the
rails bent into inconceivable shapes.
The sheds burned were those which con-
tanned the most Of the cases for the Engllsh
goods in the main building, the American
and French exhibits in the main and ART
buildings, and the Mexican, Spanish, Aus
trian, Norwegian, and German paintings ID
the art gallery. The loss will OF course be
considerable, and workmen Will at once De
placed at work repairing the damage:
The English and Canadian cases, as, irl-
deed, were all the foreign ones, were very
fine and valuable ones, being all built OF
heavy material, iron-bound, and lined with
zinc or tin. The English loss will be about
1000, the American the same, anu the
others far less. Very fortunately, the exact
sbona ond measurement of each box was
taken before it was stored, and from these
the workmen can proceed to rebuild With
out loss Of time. The sheds and contents
were insured.
AS the flames rose to an unusual helghr
the fire was visible from great distance.
and the report was prevalent for some time
that the fire was raging in the Atlas Hotel.
In this immense carayansary everything ana
everybody was in the most complete confu-
sion. The hose had been carried from Elm
avenue through the corridors, the hose IN
possession OF the hotel company had been
attached to the plugs within the building,
and streams OF water were running In every
direction. The guests were aroused from
sleep and were in a panic, scarcely know
ing whether they were on hand for deluge
or whether the end of the world had come.
All rushed pell-mell from their rooms IN
night array, with their yaluables and clothes
under their arms, and for time the vacant
lot In front Of the hotel very much resem-
bled mammoth dressing establishment, lit
up as 1t was by the flames as light as noon
day. There was no sleep for the balance OF
the night, but at O'Clock this morning all
partook OF second supper and retired to
bed to sleep off their fatigue and excite
ment.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A LITTLE B0Y.-On
Sunday afternoon son of Mr.. R. Fl. Gil
mer, of Henrico county, went into the
house and told his father that his foot hurt
him. Mr.. Gilmer found upon examination
what he believed to be a trifing sore,
and paid but little attention to it. In an
hour later, however, the little fellow died
in his fathers arms. It is supposed that he
was stung by spider.
