AT THE RESERVOIR.
Further Particulars Of the Accident
Other Mites

The accident at the reservoir yester-
day morning, mentioned in the GA
ZET1E) occurred about five minutes af
ter 2 O'Clock but was not, as at first
supposed attended with any serious
results.
1t appears that section of the bank
had been cut away the previous night
ready to tumbled over but just before
the men were ready to give it "a push
fell down with crash some of the
falling earth striking three men
Michael Malan, Hugh Turner and
Michael McCarty-who were standing
close by and had not time to get en-
tirely out of the way. Turner and
McCarty escaped with few bruis es
and scratches, but Malan sustained
severe internal injuries. The men
were ut once conveyed to their board
ing house near by. where their injuries
were properly atteaded to. Malan is
improving and the other two men are
able to resume work.
At present about so men are employ
ed at the reservoir most of whom are
engaged in scraping the basin bottom
and removing the condemned portion
of the division bank. But as soon rs
the clay can be procured pudding
operations will be commenced, when
the force will be increased to about
$50 men. The contractors had chosen
clay from lot between Lincoln and
Union streets near Second but their ar
rangements for securing it were block
ed by failure to agree uponlthe price.
The engiue tor running the clay
grinder is now ready for operation and
the grinder has been supplied with
Two new rollers. Mr.. King the fore
man, says he hopes to have satisfactory
arrangements for the clay effected dur
ing the next few days in which event
be expects to commence pudding by
the last of the week.

ATROCITIES AND THE WAR.

Ever since the memorable exposures of
the horrifying inhumanities of last year
the Porte has been exercised to put itself
in decent light before the world. First
the atrocities were denied, next they
were bellttled, and then great parade
was made of an intention to punish the
perpetrators. The Porte could not quar-
rel with its bashi-bazouks and Circassians
on the verge of war, and what was
done last year in Bulgaria has been re-
peated this year in that province and
now is in progress in Roumelia. Hence
it was natural that the Turks should
seize the first opportunity of charging
the Russians with cruelties on the prin-
ciple that two blacks would make a
white.

If the Democracy desire success and
are i'll earnest about wrestling the city
Council from the Republicans, they must
be careful in their nominations. The
young Democracy must be considered,
and no longer tabooed as they have
been in the past. The nominees for
Council should be selected as far as pos
sible, from the active working men of
the party. No timid timescIving respec-
liability, should be considered. Honesty,
capacity, and party fidelity, when com
Dlned In any young man, should lift him
IN the race above competitors, wanting
all these qualities. For president of
City Council, an active Democrat who
has earned his spurs in former caInpa-
igns, ought to be honored. Inane kid
glove responsibility, will be foist upon
the party, in the future, as in the past,
by few sentimental managers, who
talk of "the Office seeking the name," if
the hard-fisted rank and file do not look
out. Beware of such causitry, it is a
cover to defeat the popular will. We
want no great parliamentarian, man of
clear good sense will fill the position
well enough for its needs.

George O'Neil would make a good

is only a matter of Justice to concede
that position to him in 1873. That takes

THE BALL FIELD
THE QUICKSTEPs WALK AWAY WITH
THE DoERR CLUB.

The Quicksteps, yesterday afternoon,
played good game with the Doerr club,
of Philadelphia, and defeated their oppo-
nents in handsome style.
The game open without any runs on
either side, but in the second Carl, of the
Quicksteps made one run by long hit
to left field. In the third inning each
club made a run, and both drew blanks
in the fourth though the visitors were
only prevented from scoring two runs by
Brady's brilliant catch at centrefield.
In the seventh inning Clinch, by a
good hit got around to third, and came
home on Fishers hit to centre; Blogg
sent Fisher home by a long hit to left,
and came in on Buffers strike, this max
ing runs for the Quicksteps. In the
eighth inning they secured another run
by CarPs two-baser, aided by single by
Splaine. In the ninth three more runs
were secured, by the good batting of
Fisher, Blogg, Butler and Carl, making
their total 8 runs.
The visitors secured their first run in
the third inning, and had it not been for
errors by Fisher, Splaine and Kelley
would have secured no more. However
by some good hits, aided by errors in the
field, they succeeded in running their
score up to 4 runs. In the fed they
played good game, but were no match
for the Quickstep at the bat Annexed
is the score by innings:
Quckstep. 0 / 0 0 0 3 / 3-S
Doerr. 0 l 90 0 9 IL
Umpire, Thomas Kane.
Chnch and Splaine, of the old Quick
step nine of 1875, played in this game
and did very well, considering their laci
of practice.
Thursday afternoon the Quickstep will
play the Defiance club of Philadelphia
on the Adams street grounds.

THE WAR.
RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS FOR
ANOTHER BATTLE.
LONDON, AUGUST 7. 1877

LONDON, August 7, 1877.
The Herald correspondent at Sistova
telegraphs that Generals Schackoskoy
and Krudener have retaken the positions
held by them previous to the disastrous
battle at Plevna. Schackoskoy is now
quartered at Porodin and Krudener is
lying at ,Cirsteuck, and are daily receiv-
ing large reinforcements.
PREPARING FOR ANOTHER BATTLE.
The Russians are straining every
nerve to retrieve their late disaster and
to deliver crushing blow before the
Turks have time to reap all the advanta-
ges which result from their chance sue
cess. Four more Russian corps, which
had been lying in Roumania, are hurry
ing to the scene of operations in Bul.
garia, and a sanguinary battle may be
looked for within the next few days.
WHERE THE FIGHT WILL BE.
The correspondent OF the Herald at Kas>
anlik telegraphs that the Russians intend to
strike the Turks about Pievna and Lovca.
General Scobeloff will have command, and
any further south, vigorous effort will be
made to crush the Turkish forces north of
the Balkans.
A WAR OF RACES.
From Gabrova the Herald correspondent
reports that the whole country about Eski
Sighra is being devastated and the villages
and country residence burned by flying
bands of Bulgarians and Circassians. The
Circassians began the mischief by burning
the Bulgarian villages south of the Balkans.
The long suppressed hatred between the
races seems likely to lead to civil war be-
tween the Turks and Bulgarians. The
latter seem determined to make reprisals
for the crueltes of the Turks last year.
BULGARIANs PLUCK UP COURAGE.
General Gourkha has destroyed the rail-
way between Jamboli and Philipopolis. The
whole country between Kasaulik and Adri-
anople will soon be destroyed. owing to the
strife between the Turks and Bulgarians.
unless the Russians press rapidly forward.
The Bulgarans could not be induced to
rise before the Russian disaster at Plevna,
but the fear of Turkish massacre has now
driven large numbers of them to take the
field, thinking it better to die like men
with arms iu their hands than to be slaught-
cred in cold blood by the basi- zouks.
THE TURKS RETIRING.
On Saturday the Russians occupied Ami,
on the left bank of the Arpatchaj River and
several small townships. The Turkish right
wing retired before them and took up a
position nearer Kars. Mukhtar Pacha is
Quartered at Ardost and the Grand Duke
Michael at Kurukadarja.

A NEW VARIETY OF CoRN.-Mr. Ma
thaniel Frees, of Coventryville, Chester
county, has some remarkable corn grow
ing on his premises. The seed was pro-
cured by him at the Centennial at high
figures, but enough was purchased to
plant three hills, which are now growing
finely, and give promise of an enormous
yield. 1t does not grow as high as ordi-
nary corn, but each stalk bears from IL
to IS ears, which are now Is inches long,
and are still growing. Our informant,
who saw this extraordinary corn growing
yesterday, believes that the ears will
stretch out nearly if not quite two feet in
length before the close of tee season, and
thinks that field of this kind would turn
out not less than 175 bushels to the acre.

smallness of the crop. During the first

FOURTH AND KING STREETS


This morning Fourth and King streets
presented lively aspect, the fruit and
truck dealers being busy in getting their
supplies fixed ready for the market this
afternoon and tomorrow morning
Large piles of melons were lying around,
and battalllons of baskets filled with
peaches, cantelopes, corn, potatoes and
tomatoes crowded each of the four corr
ners and extended along the curbstones.
Among the assortment were several
baskets of sweet potatoes, which, how
ever, were quite high in price, the low>
est being ST. so per basket, and others
selling as high as $1.75. White potatoes
were plentiful and cheap, excellent ones
being obtainable aS60 cents per bushel,
Good tomatoes sold at 20 cents per bass
ket. Cantelopes continued rather high,
the best ones commanding 60 cents per
basket. The supply of peaches was
larger than it has been this season, but
the price during the morning ranged
from &C to rs cents, according to quality.
They will probably be cheaper this af-
ternoon or tomorrow morning. Corn,
egg plants and other vegetables were
also plentiful, and were offered at cur
rent rates.
