increase Of the population Of the c'ty
and the enhanced value Of real estate
dependent on the increase Of popuia-
ton and manufactures. 1t Is fortuh-
ate the question of purer ana oet'er
water is not partisan one, the report
last night being accepted by nnani-
nous vote of council, though We are
informed that President Lichtsnstein
SAYS that he is opposed to the measure
at the present time, not that he did not
want pure water as well as other people
but on account of the increase OF the
city debt. OF course everybody is OPP
posed to large city debts, but when the
question of pure water and the health
of the citizens are involved, $40, 600
sinks into iusisniiicance, especially
with the prospect of Wilmington in
the next decade, having $4,000 OF a
population and property largely en-
HANGED in value. The report OF the
Water Committee Eow goes to the spe-
cial committee Oh required legislation
for the city, and that committee Will
have bill drafted to lay before the
Legislature asking for the privilege Of
issuing city bonds to the amount OF
Sl75 900 at five per cent to carry on and
complete the proposed Improvement
Should the mil pass the Legislature,
the work may be commenced next sum
mrr or later in the discretion OF the
City Council.

STATE SENATOR CpoCu must have beeA
a close reader Of the REPUBLICAN, and
noted our exposure, Of the abuses to
which the Coroner'3 Office had been
prostituted. With the advent Of Mr..
Butt in the Coroner's Office many OF
those abuses have been cOrrectel but
are as liable to b" carried on again by
some unprincipled successor as they
have been by some Of his predecessors.
We notice that since Mr.. Butt has be
come Coroner there have not been 50
many inque3ts over negro babies, and
the Coroner's juries are not sweled
to the maximum number for the sake
Of the fees which might accru" to the
cOYOaer. Mr. CoOch is right in intro
ducing bill to salary the coroner's Of
flee instead of making his Office Deepen
dent on fees as at present and we hope
his bill will become law.

"a Wealthy Farmers Fate.


Martinsville, Ind special says: Iester-
day morning, John Radcliff, wealthy
farmer living five miles northeast of this
place, was found dead under circumstances
that would indicate that he had been MUIR
dered. After eating breakfast he started
to feed his hogs, a short distance from the
house. His unusual absence did not create
any alarm until noon, when his wife sent
the hired girl to the neighboring house OF
William Radrord to ascertain if he had
been there. Finding that he had not been
seen, his wife gave the alarm and the
neighbors at once instituted a search.
The efforts of the searchers were re-
warded about O'Clock in the evening by
the finding of his lileless body horribly
mutilated by hogs near corn crib. 1t is
supposed that he was murdered and placed
where the hogs would devour his remains,
Radcliff was about So years old, in usually
good health and always carried considera-
bile money upon his person. When found
his pocket book was gone and only few
pieces of silver left ON his person. Great
excitement prevails and every effort will
be made to get at the facts in the case.
