A STRONG DOCUMENT IN PREPARATION
BY THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
WASHINGTON, January 27.- The
House, Florida committee will probably
report on Tuesday next. There will b.
minority report on the legal feature a.
legged to cover the canvassing board. Tie
majority report will be strong docu-
ment, whose conclusions are unanimous
ly sustained by the Supreme Court Of
Florida, and will show that under the
law and by virtue of the decisions of
that Court, the duties of the board are
purely ministerial in canvassing the re-
turns. The best proof of this is that the
board never demurred to that conclusion
of the Court, but accepted it and proceed
ed to canvass the face of the returns.
which gave the Tildcn and Hendricks
electors decided majority. But in Or
der to prevent that result they counted
one of the three returns from Baker
county which they had on the first count
declared to be illegal, and thus favored
the Hayes electors and at the same time
the Democratic Governor. The commit
tee will show that on the boards own de-
cisions Tilden carried the State.

One day last week, Miss Bright, a sis
ter of John Bright, The great NJ. p. of
Englandl who is now on Il visit to the
Brancroft's near Wilmington paid visit
to No. school, this city. The principal.
Prof. S, j. Wiley, showed up the school
in its best style, exhibiting to his dis
tinguished visitor sample Instances of
the discipline; class drill, order of exer-
cises, and grade of studies in vogue at
this school. The exhibition was highly
satisfactory to the visitor, who expressed
her pleasure in the highest terms, With
the public nature and entirely secular
character of our schools, Miss Bright was
greatly surprised and she declared them
superior, in all respects, to any public OF
national schools she had ever visited
This is great praise, when it is remember
ed that Miss Bright is conversaut with
the schools and school systems of Eng.
land, ireland, Scotland and Sweden, and
the people of Wilmington have reason to
be proud fthe excellent position attain
ed by their High School

phor OF "a political hell-gate, paved and
honey combed with dynamite. is just
now applicable 10 the Louisiana re-
turning board, and an explosion is ex-
pected to take place shortly. Wells is
angry at the treatment he has expert
enced at the hands of Kellogg, and is re-

trouble for the republican leaders in
Louisiana. A Chicago Times dispatch
from New Orleans says that Kenner,
when he left for Washington, stated that
he might yet be compelled to give up
information which would raise the devil %
Kenner is warm friend of Pinchback,
and there is some apprehension among
the republican leaders that he will fol-
low Pinchback's lead and try to smash
things in the Kellogg Packard camp.

\ MAIN BROKEN BY THE ICE. !
THE TENTH STREET BASIN EMprrEp.

THE TENTH STREET BASIN EMPTIED.
During last week the officials at the
water works, corner of Tenth and Mar
ket streets, discovered that some of the
mains, leading from the basin leaked. At
first the leak was very small, but it con-
tlnued to grow larger until last Wednes-
day night, the basins were entirely en-
pued. On Thursday morning, the pur-
vcyor started out, and shuteff several of
the stops for the purpose of discovering
where the leak was after closing several
it was found to be in the Tenth street
main that crosses the Brandywine, at
Eleventh street bridge. 1t is supposed
that the breaking or disconnecting the
pipe was caused by the action of the ice.
The shutting off, of the water cut off
the supply at the Arlington cotton mills,
and the proprietors not wishing to
stop the works laid a hose from the fire
plug corner of Fifteenth and Kingstreets,
TO the plug over Brandywine that is at
tached to the main that supplies their
works. by this means they will be able to
continue running.
The residents of the Ninth ward will
he unable TO get water from their hydrants
until the ice in the creek disappears
thereby enabling worgmen to repair the
damage. The way the leak was first dis
covered was by the increased work that
it required to keep the basins filed. II
cannot be ascertained how large the
damage is or what it will cost to repair it
PIPE TO BE LAID.
In order to supply the inhabitants of the
Ninth Ward with water, il has been de-
cided to lay an s inch pipe across the
Brandywine bridge at Market street. The
| main will connect with the King street
main on this side, and the water from il
will be emptied into the main over the
bridge.
