cidentally drowned at the foot Of
Washington street. He was out on
the end Of the dump trying to get a
drink of water when he slipped and
tumbled into the river, the quick sur
rent of which quickly carried him
under and beyond the reach of assist
ance. A crowd of friends and others
collected.at the scene, and efforts to
recover the body had not succeeded
up to noon. Mr.. League was a brother
of the Hon. John League, ex-mayor

ApoIllnaris Water.

WASHINGTON, March 10, 1879.
Assistant Secretary French has written
the following letter, giving the results
Of his investigation into the condition of
Apollinaris water imported into the
United States:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFPIce OF SEc'Y, |
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. q, 1879. J
Messrs. Frederick De Barry & Co., No. Al
Warren street, New York:
GENTLEMEN-The department is in re-
ceipt Of your letter of the 18th inst, in
curing the results of the investigation,
requested by you last spring, into the con-
dition Of the Apollinaris waters imported
into the United States, with reference to
the question whether such waters are nat
ural mineral waters, entitled to exemption
from duty, or are, as had been frequently
claimed, substantially artificial mineral
waters, subject to the duty provided by
the statute in such cases.
In conformity with your request, the
secretary Of state was to cause a thorough
inquiry to be made into the matter by oul
consul at Cologne, and copies Of docu.
ments on fle in this department which
contained statements rejecting upon the
manner in which such Apollinaris waters
were prepared for shipment to the United
States were furnished to the consul.
A very voluminous report upon the
subject has been received with accompa.
nying documents from scientists anC
Others, who have made the matter a study
and who have inspected the spring. The
consul states that the fullest opportunity
was given him TO examine the spring anC
all its surroundings; that no machinery
for the manufacture of artificial carbonit
acid gas was found on or near the prem.
ises, and that no necessity existed for th,
manufacture Of such gas for use in bot
Ting the waters, for the reason that tn,
spring itself supplies far more gas than i
necessary for the purpose Of bottling thu
waters and preserving the same amour
Of gas as is contained in the water Will,
in the spring. The consul concludes hi
report as follows;
~ therefore state that il is my opinion
formed after what l consider o careful
and painstaking investigation, that tn
Apollinaris water bottled at the Apolli
naris Springs, as exported to the Unite,
States, is beyond question a natural min
eral water"
The evidence which accompanies tn
c~onsul's dispatch seems to abundant,
sustain his conclusion that tho Appolli
naris water, as heretofore imported, is
natural mineral water, entitled to exemp
ton from duty. Very respectfully,
II. +. FRENCH, Asst Sec'y.

The police force have not received
a months pay since December last,
and this was the only month paid for
since September last. The recent
pro rata distribution was a small addi-
ton to this'amount. The distribution
ranged from four to one hundred and
fifty dollars each, according to the
length of time each officer was in
arrears. The attorney in the Ease re-
ceived five per cent. on the amount
paid to each. About $4,000 is yet due
the police and fire departments on ac-
count of the old city government.
The forces have not received a cent SC
far on account Of the new govern
mont. Neither the old nor the new
government lay claim to the month Of
January, and the present prospect
fayor no wages to either force for that
month. The "laborer is worthy o.
his hire however, and should bt
paid.

stormy Snee1ing.

While the sheet-iron thunder roared
and the lightning flashed in ftful and
vivid streaks during the play of
Brutus, last night, the entire audience
were suddenly thrown into a fit Of
sneezing and coughing. For a while
the barking people were so noisy that
even the bowls of the mimic tempest
were unheard. The fumes from the
chemicals used to make the lightning
spread through and loaded the air in
the theater, and this gave the sneezers
a start. There were people in the
crowd that believed some mischief
maker had cast a few pinches of pep
per on the Aambeaux, but it was only
a suspicion, nothing more.
