Some Of the pi pers in this city are very
much alarmed that the material used in
lining the new basin will not stand severe
test. They say it resembles marsh mud.
The proper name for it is bog clay. 1t has
stood all the tests which have been applied
to IT, viz: A water test, having been placed
in box with one side open, and reduced to
half an inch in thickness has stood better
than earthen vessels. 1t has been subjec,
to test of sun and will not crack as badly
as other clay. 1t has been approved by Mr.
Morris, deceased, late Consulting Engineer,
and by Mr.. Barber, late clay-tester at the
Cool Spring Reservoir. and also by Isaac
Cassin, Esq., Consulting Engineer at the
present time. He states that 1t Is as gooi
clay as he has ever come in contact with
and, in his opinion, is less liable to crack
and is far superior to the Stotsenburg clay
which be was compelled to use on the Rod.

The Financial Crash IN Philadelphia.

The Finaneial Crash IN Philadelphia.
The accounts from Philadelphia state
that those firms crippled BY the recent
crash in Hestonville stock have been pretty
well cleaned out. The list, besides Bond,
Maxey 4 Co, now stands as follows: William
G. Hopper & Co., No. q South Third street
Fox & King, No. q South Third street;
G. W. Camblos, Stock Exchange; Larzalere
Brothers, No. l36 South Third street, and
D. NJ. Robinson & Co., 13S South Third
Street, and c. NJ. Bayard, No. 22sk Wal
nut street. Fox & King estimate their
losses at nearly $4,000. It is estimated
that G. ". Camblos, who was at one time
President of the Board, loses 81, 900, and
D. NJ. Robinson & Co. will lose nearly
$751;
Messrs. Hopper & Co. consider the affair
a bubble which being open to the liability
of burst, went of with the suddeRness o.
soap-bubble.
Further than this expression of genera
opinion. they have nothing to say e1cep
that they believe that the public should no
know their private affairs, which, consider.
ing that their sustainance has been derive(
from that corporation, is position they ar,
not warranted in assuming.
1t is very possible that at some future ds.
q game similar to the Hestonville pool viii
be played, and of course If people are en-
lightsned concerning the mysterious way
Of Third street their disposition would be Il

Yesterday evening the players of the club
met to determine upon what course to take,
and have unanimously agreed to stand upon
their own resources and strike out boldly
for themselves.
They censure the former manager very
severely for his unkind treatment toward
them. Most of them are great distance
from their homes, and have made nothing
since their departure hence here among
a strange people, and hope they will receive
hearty support.
They expect TO secure the services of Mr.
Lomnus, of Philadelphia, as pitcher, then
their nine will be full, and their friends
think strong one. People who never ex-
hibited any great amount of interest art
now coming to their rescue, and ii is hoped
these young men will be encouraged in

1, on the Braniywine, a path was treading.
When the sun his rays were shedding,

And watched the river glistening,

Meath giant tree reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,

Though no other feature shifted,
Quickly soon his eyes nliffed,
Upward lifted as he wildly looked
around.
Good friend, said approaching,
Do not charge me with encroaching,
Are you waiting for some messenger
OF news?
But no other words he uttered,
And no other sentence muttered,
Save you'll find there's none like Bah
cocks Boots and Shoes.
No misrepresentation of goods.
Then drew little nearer,
And spoke the words much clearer,
trust good sir, that ou, the question
will excuse,
But he only cried the higher,
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save your cash bv buying Bah
cocks Boots and Shoes.
Perfect satisfaction guaranteed.
Why bless 70 e, man, shouted,
AS his sanity doubted.
'Tis surely nought 10 me what peoples
goods you use.
But he only looked the prOuder.
AS he spoke the words the louder,
There's always perfect comfort in
BabcOck's Boots and Shoes.
The largest, cheapest and best stock IL

Lo, I left him there reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,
And freau entity 1 wondered at the
words the man did use.
