SACKS of Lehigh coal, all the way from

that in the upper part of that county, the

of the finest Kind of eoalf Ifis also known
that Prescott lies within 2OOO miles in a

The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1878-05-17

There was considerable discussion on the
streets yesterday over the action of the Demo-
cratic Parish Committee relative to the coming
campaign. From what was said on the streets
the general opinion was that there was strong
endeavor on the part of those who held the
reins of ward organizations to retain the same,
and that the rules Of the committee, so far as
adopted, looked like it was the intention OF the
oldpresidents of central clubs 10 retain control
of the approaching election for delegate and
presidents of clubs. The murmurs are loud
against such a course, and some intimate that
It will bring about faction Aght In our party
that cannot but result In the defeat of good men.
What Is generally commented upon is the fact
that most of the resolutions and amendments
presented to the parish CON mittee had been cut
and dried beforehand and that they were in the
interest of certain parties who already are on
S2as lookout for nomination. Whether. this is
TRUE or not the action of the committee has not
neaet with that general accord that was desirable
rnsEtters will be more agreeable to all parties.

A SUIT AGAINST THE CITY.

The Firemen's Charitable Association for
some time past has been indebted to the Amos
keag Manufacturing Company for certain en-
gines furnished to the department. According
to the contract between the city and the asso-
citation, the latter agrees to extinguish the fires
for the sum of $40. 900 per annum. The city for
lack Of funds has been unable to comply with
Its contract. and hence the following suit filed
yesterday in the United States Circuit Court:

cember, 1877; that the amount claimed was pay
able in monthly installments. and due Novem-
Der and December, 1877, and January 1, 1873:

ment of Public Accounts on the same day.

An Alleged Attempt at suicide.

A Mrs. Adams. residing at No. 50 Rampant
street, is reported to have attempted to commit
suicide by. taking laudanum at O'Clock ,yester-
day morning. The cause assigned by the ser
wants living in the house is that it was from

istering the proper antidotes. revived her and
pronounced her out of danger.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE wATERwoRKs COMPANY.

In an interview yesterday with Mr. Ed. Toby.
president Of the Waterworks Company. we OBJ
tanned full explanation of the matters AT issue
between the company and the CITY, as indicated
by the communication from Mr.. Toby. read at
the Council meeting on Tuesday last and re
ferred to In the columns of the DEMOCRAT pezt
day. but in very general terms. To be precise
and correct. the following Ia the entire subject.

city. became due. In advance On the first of De-
tober. 1877. From that date up to the tenth of

supplied from October !. 1s77 to October Il Is7 "a

for the same period. of this amount the com.
pany estimate that only about sl3 900 are avail

Now, the proposition Of the Waterworks Com
pany is. that as the city furnished the water to
October J. 1877. to April TO- 1778t 1t shall retain
part Of the $50 900 collected uD to the last named
water and that the der Be turned over .f a

pense which they must necess ,rily undergo to
water consumers. in the proportion as five
months and twenty days 10 to the twelve months
for which the entire sum Of $4,000 was collected
Tin advanced from the onsumers.
The proposition would, therefore. involve the
handing over by the city to the company OF
about $685. 900 Of the amount collected by the city.
But the company Is willing to accept all the nm
paid bills good and badl transferred to them BY
the city on similar terms, that is. that one-haif,
or $4,000, shall accrue to the benefit Of the city
and shall be deducted from the amount tie
company claim is due to them by the city hence
leaving a balance Of the collections already
made, OF about $4,000. to be turned over to the
Waterworks Company.
The reasoning OF the company is this that
from the tenth Of April 1873, to the first of Octo-
her: 1878. the company will have to run the
not reasonable that they should do so without
compensation; that the 1000 collected by the
twelve months, whereas the city supplied these
consumers during only six months and ten
days. leaving the remaining five months and
twenty days to be supplied by the company, and
for which the latter are entitled to the pro rata
OF the amount already collected.
