the Board Of Water Commissioners, in
order to allow their resident engineer
to ascertain levels required to complete
the south Basin, also that an dxamna

changes or notifications might be
made in the plans for construction Of
the south Basin if required.
On Sunday careful examination was

perfect in every respect. At ll.3O

THE RESERVOIR.

The reservoirs at Tenth and Market
streets being no longer of use, | would
recommend that sometime in the near
future the ground now occupied by
them be lrvelled and graded, as the
time may shortly come, when this site
will be required for public buildings.

TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS.

The Chief Engineers office is connec-
ted by telephone with the city mill and
Cool Spring pumping station, is also
cannected with the Central Office
through which messages can be sent
and received from also any section OF
the city. This arrangement but recent
" introduced has on more than one
occasion demonstrated its usefulness.
Daily Republican., 1879-01-03

The increase IN the consumption dur
ing the past year over that OF 1877 was
III, l30, 392 gallons. Although we have
a reservoir storage capacity OF upwards
of AZ, 900, 900 gallons | think you will
agree with me that We have none to
spare.

Flo,cea.s Of the Forest.

The second performance of "Flowers Of
the Forest" was given at the Metropolitan
theatre last night. The audience, like that
of the night before, was an appreoiative one,
and loud laughter and prolonged applause
was heard at frequent intervals. The play
is light and pleasing, Astounding in pleasant
dialogues, amusing situations, laughable IN
cidents, songs, dances, etc., that keeps
one interested from the beginning
till the curtain drops upon
the last act. "Ted" Irving and the live
donkey are show in themselves, and will
attract good houses during the remainder of
the run. Miss Nellie Irving has the hardest
study of all and personates the character in
the best possible manner. The parts as
signed Mr.. Bryton, Miss Garland, Miss
Baker, Mr.. Marden and Mr.. Campbell, are
all good. The scenery is unusually effective,
especially that portion representing the
gypsey camp in the ravine. The rocks
towering on either side and the water fall of
running water in the center presents pic
ture that for picturesque beauty cannot be
excelled. This afternoon ssFlowers of the
Forest" will attract crowded house at the
matinee, and is to be repeated again in the
evening.

arrested for Murder.

Detective Hoy with an officer from ILL
nois, returned from Melrose, Stearns county,
last night, with two negroes arrested on the
charge of murder committed in that State.
The evidence against the prisoners is said to
be very direct and when arrested they were
found to be heavily armed, apparently for
the purpose Of resisting. By a little strategy
they were captured when off their guard and
hence had no opportunity to perpetrate an
other murder.
