The Water Department,
The Citizens Committee Recommend a,
improvement of the Water Mdchinerl
Without IncredSin0 the Ctfu Debt,

1He CittzenS COn1mlttee Recommend an
improvement of the Water Machinery
Without Increasing the City Debt.
The committee of citizens and the
Water Committee met in the City Coun-
Gil chamber yesterday afternoon, and
spent couple Of hours In discussing the
general affairs of the Water Department.
MIR. Poole stated that when he was a
member Of the City Council, II 1851 the
amount collected for water rents was
$lO,5UO. Now it is over 100000, show
ing that the water consumption had in
creased six-fold in thirty years. At this
rate Of increase he thought the present
arrangements for supplying the city with
water would in few years be insuffi-
cieut.
MIR. Joshua L. Pussy said the commit
Tee felt pretty well assure that the water
pumps were IN a bad condition, and it
was competent for the committee to re
commend their improvement. lie there
fore moved that the committee recon-
mend to the Water Committee that the
water pnmps and wheel be entirely re-
newed in such manner as to use the water
rights which the city uses, to the best ad-
vantage.
Mr.. Poole stated that when the city
purchased its first water power, it was of
Il volume just sufficient for the capacity
of the water wheel, and when the second
power was purchased, it could not be ap-
Piled to the wheel with any perceptible
effect.
Mr.. Pusey's motion was adopted.
MIR. Po lie said the earnings Of the
Water Department have right to go to
the improvement of the machinery, and
thus prevent any borrowing of money for
this purpose by the city. 1t is a grand
privilege the city has of furnishing the
water for the people, and if the right
was sold at public auction it. would
doubtless bring enough to pay off the en-
tire city debt.
MIR. Febiger said the citizens were be-
coming impatient at the load of city debt
that was being piled up, as was evidenc-
ed by the recent Taxpayers meeting.
He thought the Water Department
should be made Independent of city del
for its Improvement and extension and
therefore offered the following:
The committee appointed by order of
Water Committee, would recommend
that an application be made to the Legs-
lature for the passage Of law providing
that one-third Of the net earnings of the
Water Department be applied each year
to the improvement and extension of the
water works of this city. We thereby
being of the opinion that the funded
debt of the city will not Gas it should
not) be increased.
Col. Febiger stated that the earning of
theWater Department were about SOC, ,000
and the appropriation $4,000 per year.
This would leave net revenue of $685.
600, and one-third of this amount would
approximate $4,000 per year.
The proposition was adopted and the
committee adjourned sine die, after in
structing the Secretary to forward their
decision to the City Council.

WORCESTER, MASS, September 1.-THE
boilers Democratic State Convention was
called to order by Alonzo v. Lynde, Chair.
man Of the State Central Committee, and
John X, Tarbox was chosen Chairman.
Mr.. Tarbox was received with round
OF applause and cheers, and in his speech
he said;
The responsibility Of this Democratic
division is not upon US. Before our com.
mittee issued the call under which We as.
semble, they requested the Faneuil Hall
Committee to restore the party unity by
joining In union in call for Convention
in which all Democrats oi the State should
have equal and Just representation. This
proposal, made courteously and in good
faith, met refusal and indignity. For this
refusal to submit to the authority OF the
Democratic constituent body, we de-
nounce the Faneuil Hall managers as fac
tious and disloyal, and foes 10 the party.
The usual committees were appointed
and the following resolutions adopted: =
Recognizing the general desire Of peo.
pie not bounded by the limits Of National
party divisions for change OF administra.
ton and the promotion Of wholesome pub.
lie reforms in the State government, not
reasonable to be hoped for from powers
now in control, through whose neglect or
more active fault offence has come; con-
yinced that such change Is demanded by
prudent considerations Of the political well
fare OF the State, and in the belief that all
citizens who concur in this opinion may
consistently and worthily adjourn to an
other election, when Federal officers are
TO be chosen; their contentious as to the
measures and principles OF the national
concern, and confide to thepending cleo
ton, the securing in State affairs the OBJ.
lects Of the common desire, we for these
ends invite all who entertain like senti.
ments, to ma ke common cause with US on
this home issue, and we adopt and en-.
dorse the candidacy Of Benz. F. Butler, OF
Lowell, for Governor, in confidence and
in assurance Of his public pledge, that il
elected will, so far as he shall have official
strength, labor TO bring back the Govern.
ment OF the Commonwealth to efficiency,
economy and justice to the people OF all
classes, which characterized the earlier
days Of the republic.
A committee was then appointed to pre-
sent nominees for the balance OF the
ticket.
A platform was reported by the Com
mittee on Resolutions and adopted

as follows:

FALL RIVER.
A DIsgraeefaI Row = Striking Cotton
Operatives Attack Imported Hands.

A DIsgraeefuI Row - Striking Cotton
Operatives Attack Imported Hands.
FALL RIVER, September 17.-By far the
most shameful outrage Of the strike was
committed by the strikers this afternoon.
Eight French families, comprising be-
tween 70 and so men, women and children,
were brought here to-day from sarel,
Canada. They have never worked in q
cotton mill and are to work at the Stafford
and Crescent mills. The company was
divided into two parties and one taken 10
Stafford mill and the other TO o block on
Davis street. ltwassubsequently decided
10 remove the latter party to house In
the rear oil the Crescent mill, some few
hundred yards away.
The party consisted OF two men besides
the agent who brought them here. four
women and the remainder young boys
and girls from eighteen years Of age down.
wards. AS the party came out on the
street they were hooted at by the crowd
Of women, children, and some men, and a
few stones thrown. To make the short
est cut they took what Is known as the
osoAV'SAubh1A lobI huGt0 tup1 NeId u.s.
saulted BY crowd OF one hundred aud
fifty, mostly men. Rocks were thrown at
them In perfect showers, and one OF the
men named Bouche was so roughly as.
saulted, that man who witnessed the
whole affair said he did not .ex.
pect to see him come out OF I'll
alive. He was severely kicked and
bruised by stone. One woman with a
babe in her arms was knocked down and
kicked. A little boy about seyen.y years OF
age was struck on the face, and all thelittle
children were stoned as well as older per.
sons. The party separated and ran In
different directions, which broke the
crowd. The police were summoned
and with Officer Hill and the
whole Of the district police, who
happened TO be near by, were on hand
in a few moments, but an alarm was
given at their approach. The district po.
lice are already known by the disturbers,
and the crowd had dispersed. Three OF
the assaulted party got separated from
their friends, but are reported to have
been found with some old acquaintances
in another part Of the city. More indig.
nation has been expressed by the citizens
at this outrage than all the others that
have occurred, the cowardly assault on
women and children stirring the feelings
OF every good citizen. No arrests have yet
been made
