THE events that lranspired one
hundred years ago as viewed from the
present must fill every heart with
pleasure. The contrast of tho thir-
teen weak colonies then with their
5000, 900 population with the thirty
eight States now and their population
of $4,000, 1000 and vast wealth and in
fiuence in the world, reveals q. wonder.
full growth in all that pertains to make
men happier, wiser and better. The
whole world has felt the effect Of the
American revolution of q hundred
years ago, and no century in the his.
tory OF the world has witnessed such
remarkable advancement in the bene.
fits conferred ON mankind.

THE BAIT. AND OHro.-Tbere can
be no reason for doubting the inten-
tion Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company TO build new road
through this city. The immense IN
crease in the freighting business be-
tween the different sections of the
country demand greater facilities
There are not now enough cars by many
thousands to carry the freight that is
offered. 1t is said cars are stand
ing in blocks mile long in some Of
tho western roads because they cannot
be moved. In many places there is q
complete blockade. This difficulty
would be lessened if there were more
railroads. The Baltimore and Ohio
road is said to have q great many mil
lions of dollars In its surplus fand and,
therefore, could well afford to build
the connecting Inks Of road between
Baltimore and Philadelphia. In pass
ing this city it has been announced in
the Philadelphia papers that it would
cross the marsh to South Whining ton
and then on to Thurlow and connect
there with the P. and Reading. This
is likely to be the route, although it
would necessitate bridging the Chris
tlana below the foot of Fourth street,
it ould be much more cheaply done
than to cut through the rocks and
bridge the Brandywine after buying
the right of way through the city at o
heavy cost.

PHILADELPHIA TO HAVE AN ELE.
WAITED RAILRoAD.-It is quite evi.
dent that the opposition to building
an elevated railroad is giving way.
1t is singular that there should be 80
strong an opposition developed.
Elevated roads are the most delightful
to ride upon, and for rapid Transit
through city to Its suburbs are the
most pleasant and convenient carriage
that can be had. The road in Phila"
delphia is to pass from the Darby
Post-office in Delaware county to the
city line at Sixty-fouIth street, and
then down Market to Front street, up
Front to Berks and to the North
Pennsylvania Railroad. The branch
south on Front street will run to the
Navy Yard. The rate of speed will
be twelve miles an hour, fare five
csnts from to 1880, a. m., and 8 to s
p. m. In passing the county build-
ings the tracks will be narrowed to
twelve feet; on the other parts of the
route the tracks will occupy twenty
four feet over the centre of the streets
stations at intervals of four squq res
Everybody going to Philadelphia will
feel an interest in the construction o.
this road. Mr.. John Wanamaker an
pears to be one of the proninen
parties interested il the proposed
road.

The ELECTRIC LIGHT is enabling
mechanics IN doors and the outdoor
laborers to get large amount of
work done, in various parts of the
country that otherwise would be de-
layed on account OF the want of light.
Tuis want is being rapidly supplied by
tie electric machines. Short DAYS
need not be forced upon workmen in
future, when there is plenty of work
to do. For several months the
National Dredging Company has been
working their machines all night by
the aid of electric lights; and now
the jackson Il Sharp Company have
put an end to short days in their car
works by the introducti IN of the
Brush pattern Ell ctric lamp. This
will put money in the pockets of the
employee as well as the employer, and
enable those who have large amount
of capital invested in industrial works
to make them more valuable. The
interest account does not stop, and the
nearer the labor account can be kept
with it, the better it is for he investor.

THE PROPOSED NEW WATER
WORKS.
A Description of the plans.

We are pleased to announce that pro-
gress is being made by the city authorities
in the measure decided upon looking to
change in the source of our water supply,
and increased facilities of the works. 1t is
pretty definitely determined to remove the
works from the present site, which is pecu-
liarlY unfit for the purpose, to the tract OF
land owned by the city, about mile and a
half up the river. Yesterday we had
the opportunity of inspecting the plans
for the new works to be located at
that point, which has just been received
from Colonel J. d. Cook, the engineer, who
has the contract for furnishing the new
stand pipe, and a general direction In the
prosecution of the important work. Inc
building will be a neat, substantial brick
structure, one story high, similar In appear
ance to the present, one story high. The
engine room will be so by 90, which gives
ample room for the accommodation OF the
present Worthington pump, and the
one which is now being con-
structed for the city under the
contract given out some time since, as men
toned in the NEWS. The boiler room will
be fifty by seventy feet, and the chimney
will be one hundred feet high. 1t is not
decided whether to have the roof of iron,
tin or wood, but the latter seems to be pre-
ferred.
1t is also proposed to construct two large
receiving basins, but the details as to these
with regard to length, width and depth
have not yet been adopted. The plans provide
for a twenty four-inch main, running In a
straight line from the works, crossing over
Musgrove creek and under the canal to New
street, and thence out New to Hull street to
| Chippewa square, where the stand pipe or
reservoir will be erected. This is the
straightest route, the most desirable, and, it
is believed, will be the cheapest. The dis
lance from the new works to the stand pipe
in Chippewa square is II 100 feet. The
stand pipe will be tower 100 feet high, on
an octagonal base Is feet under ground
on a solid bed Of concrete. 1t
will be surmounted with a hand
some ornamental parapet, and constructed
of steel plates, with capacity OF $4,000
| gallons of water. A circular stairway, with
| iron railing on the outside, will furnish the
means of ascent. The diameter of base will
be sixty feet, add the inside diameter Of the
tower will be twenty-five feet. All the de-
tails of the new system are being carefully
worked up by the committees in charge, who
| are impressed with the importance OF OBJ
| tanning purer supply of water and In sutfi-
Gent quantity to meet all the demands. The
work will cost considerable sum OF money,
| but it is an insignificant item in comparison
with the great benefit to be derived. We
| trust It will not be long ere we Will be en-
abled to announce that the work which has
| long been advocated in the MORNING NEWS
has been commenced.

FxteusfVe Dairy Farm.

A few days since we had the pleasure of
making a visit to the large cattle range and
extensive dairy farm Of Mr.. G. NJ. Heidi,
the well known druggist, located just north
of and adjoining the Laurel Grove Gene
terry, and comprising fourteen acres Of land.
The farm is in splendid condition and may
really be considered an institution of the
city. Mr.. Heidi has a strong prediction
for farming pursuits. and devotes his leisure
time to experimenting this dairy. He has
now at the farm fifty-two head Of fine COWS
of various and first-class stock, which are
ia excellent condition. In regard to the
feeding Of stock he has the important mat
ter down to a fine point. The food consists
of COW peas, grown upon his place, mixed
with bran and meal, and which
is served to the animals warm, being thor
oughly boiled in huge pots in a furnace
room adjoining the stables, which, by the
way, are models of comfort and cleanliness.
The dairy, feed house and stOreroom are in
proximity to the stables, and very conVe-
niently reached. There is also a comfOrta-
bic dwelling on the place, where the over
seer resides, and all the surroundings OF the
farm sre excellent. The place is thoroughly
drained, and the crops Of cow peas and the
vegetable gardens are in hOurishing con-
dition. an evidence of the value of intelli-
gent scientific culture. The farm is well
worth : visit, especially to those who are
fond of fine stock, and can appreciate the
attractions of a dairy filled with crooks OF
rich milk and clabber, and butter and
presses Of ouFd.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROB-
Berry.
A Sea Captain Attacked.

On Monday night about half-past ten
O'Clock Captain Nelson, Of the Norwegian
bark "Condor," which is lying at the
wharves Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway. whilst returning from
his vessel to the city, was hailed
by two negroes with the salutation
"Eh, shipmate." The parties were strang-
ers to Captain Nelson, who declined to hold
converse with them and continued on his
way. Oae of the negroes called to his fell
low to ''get the gun for him." and immedi-
ately there came two reports In rapid sue
cession. the balls whistling In uncomforta-
BILE proximity to the Captains head. After
few minutes another shot was fired. Cap
tain Nelson managed to get under the Gov
er of bridge on the road near by
before the third shot was
fired. He is of the opinion that the negroes
intended robbery, and were incensed be
cause he refused to stop, and hence fired
upon him. The assault was made some
distance from the whsrves of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway. The shoot
ing created considerable excitement. The
Captain regrets he was unable to recognize
the miscreants, and they will probably es-
cape.

stated that he knew OF no law under which
he could try the offense, and, having no jur-
isdietiOn, dismissed the case.

A Burglar scared On-BraVe Action
NJ a LADY.


On Saturday night, shortly after eleven
O'Clock, sn attempt was made TO rob the
residence Of Mr.. B. T. Cole, near the corner
Of Duffy and Whitaker streets. Mr.. Cole,
who is an engineer on the Central Railroad,
was out on the road, which fact was probably
known to the marauders. Mrs Cole heard
the noise made by the parties as they were
endeavoring to effect an entrance, and,
getting out Of bed, secured her husband S
revolver. With the weapon IN her
hand, she crept softly down stairs,
and, going to window, near
which the sounds were heard. Peering
through the blinds she saw buTly negro
working at the back door. She immediate
" brought the pistol TO bear upon him and
pulled the trigger, when unfortunately the
cap snapped. The noise scared the negro,
who Jumped back as the brave lady tried
another chamber with better success,
the ball whizZing near his
caput. He darted from the house,
when another shot caused him to scale the
fence in a big hurry, and he managed to
escape. The firing aroused the neighbCr-
hood, and some Of the residents saw the ne
gro skedaddling of with a woman, who was
evidently his confederate. and who was on
the watch outside. Had the cap not
snapped in the first place it is certain the
Coroner would have had 10 hold an Inquest
on g dead negro, as the lady was not sil
feet from him when she attempted t
shoot, and she IS q good shot.
We are informed this Is the second time
an attempt has been made to rob this resi-
dence. and, unfortunately, Mr.. Cole was alb
sent on duty on both occasions. Ire Dexi
time a midnight m6rauser makes the al
tempt he may not get of SO easily.
