took leg bail, darling off up Eleventh street.

return TO the other prisoners. The gang was
returned to the Jail, and Garrett and Deputy
Sheriff Chambers took buggy and went
over the Twelfth-street bridge to find Purcell.
~ a - -
Sixteenth and espied fellow on the levee
whom Garrett believed to be his man. The
chap lodged down as train No. 6 passed, and
this enabled Garrett to go up above the man
and as the train went by to descend upon
him. while Chambers headed him off on the
west. Garrett advanced, and Purcell started
again, when the officer covered him with
revolver and cried hands up, and in an hour
ana half from the time of his escape Tom

ANALYzTSG THE WATER.-A thirty-gallon
demijohn of water from the largest Sanborn
well was brought into the city last evening
ing for analysis, under direction of DR.. f. W.
Hatch of this city, Secretary of the State
Board of Health. This well, under the re-
cent contract, has been now sunk from its
former depth of 80 feet to 120 feet, with no
material change in the flow of water, and the
quality remaining the same. 1t ia thought
that whatever conjectures might have been
entertained before as TO this water coming
from the river, there is now probability of
al lafp fba AZ ha ar
depth, aud the hard-pan strata passed through.
At all events report of the actual quality OF
the water will soon be furnished by compe
tent authority upon the subject.
