a Good Specimen TO Send to the
Peuitcutiury,

Rather an exciting incident occurred
early this morning in the vicinity of Ninth
and + streets northwest, which might have
resulted in n murder. Henry johnson,
colorcd, was in the act of de.
livering ice from his wagon to a customer
on + street when by accident he
brushed against fancily dressed
darky, Anthony r. Gramor, who was pass
ing. Grmor, muchly indignant, demanded
to know why johnson had brushed against
him. johnson, rather peacefully inclined,
returned by u slap in the face
from Gramor. War having been
declared, johnson raised his ice tongs to
defend himself, when Gramor drew pistol
and fired ut johnson, missing him. The
latter ran to his wagon then and armed him
self with an ice pick, but before he could use
1t gentleman among the bystandcrs inter-
fered and advised him not to continue the
fight. Noticing the interference, Gfamor
approached the gentleman and demanded
to know what right he had to interfere, and
threatened to shoot the gentleman. The
latter, unmindful of the threat, replied: "If
there was policeman here l would have
you arrested Moving away from
the scene the gentleman sought n
policeman in vain. In the meantime

any one who came near him, and finally
hid himself in the rear of shoe store on
Ninth street just below +. The gentleman
who had intcrfered managed, after
some difficulty, to reach policeman
through the telephone, and, returning with
the officer, sought for Gramor, finding him
in the hiding. place mentioned above. Ora
NOR attempted to have it appear that no
was not the man wanted, but failed, and
finding himself corncrcd, wanted to fight
the policeman. The latter arrested him,
however, and marched him to the Fifth
Precinct station.housc, where he now is
He will have hearing In the Police Court
tomorrow.
1t was certainly a miracle that some one
was not hit when Gramor fired, for there
was quite crowd of bystandcrs There
should be no leniency with this fellow
He is one of the kind who should go to the

CoNFERRING WITH MR.. CoNKLING.
senator Jones' Visit to Uitcn. and
What IL Is mid 20 Mnnn.

A dispatch to the New York SIN, dated
Utica, September %, says:
The Hon. John p. Jones, the bonanza
Senator and present host of President Ar
thur mt Washington, reached Utica at about
noon to-day. lie was expected at 1870, but
his train was delayed BY smash-up west
of here, Accordingly Senator Conkling as
sumed that he would come on later train,
and went to keep an appointment with n
dentist. lie was in the dentists chair, hay
ing tooth filled, when messenger an
nounced that Senator Jones had arrived,
and had been driven by the Hon. Lewis
Lawrence to the Conkling mansion. The
tooth-filling was suspended, and the Senator
hastcncd home to welcome his guest. a
man understood to be President Arthur's
private secretary, Reed, had arrived some
hours before, and had been driven in u
closed carriage to Mr.. ConlSlings house.
No one of the three left the house during
the day and evening.
This evening Mr.. Lawrence and one or
two other leading Stalwarts assembled in
Mr.. Conkling's house, and a long consulta-
ton was held. The house was brilliantly
lighted, and the doors and windows were
open, but no answer tolld be obtained to
the bell and the house was as silent as the
grave. 1t is said upon good authority that
Speculation is rife here as to the meaning
of the conference. That it has an import
ant Specification need not be said. From
one Stalwart source, so indirectly and acct
dcntally that no suspicion of insincerity
exists, get the hint, apropos of this visit,
that within the next three or four days
such decisive action will be taken in
Washington rs to leave 10 doubt
that President Arthur with all his
executive power is enlisted in Mr.. Conk-
lng's interest in this State. That the Stall.
wart managers will have n carte blanche
for the Federal patronage of the State, to
be used in New York city, and that the
convention at the Academy of Music is to
be I'M administration convention ut what
ever cost. 1t is believed that u large num-
Der Of the so-callcd anti.Stnlwart delegates
being elected in the interior can be con-
verified by sufficient patronage pressure into
Arthur-Conkling men after they get to
New York
The surprising lassitude of the Stalwarts
In some districts where they were expected
to win easily, points to the suspicion that
it is felt TO be cheaper to convert moderate
Half-breeds after they reach the metropolis
than to beat them at home. The general
understanding among the Stalwarts, and to
some extent it reflects what has filtered
down from above, is that Grant will head
the delegation from Now York city; that
everybody save Lincoln in the Cabinet
must go, and that President Arthur and
Mr.. Conkling are in d trihe closer accord to-
day than they ever were before.

THE WAFER SUPPLY.
ANNUAL Report of the water Regis.
frnr.

tFuFs
The Water Registrar submitted his report
for the year ending JNno 80, 1881, to the
Engineer Commissioner to-day. Among
the most important recommendations in the
report Is one urging upon Congress tho ne
ccssity of increasing the water supply of the
District the want fWatcr is the only de-
feet Of the department, according to the re-
port, us the rents are paid up closer than
ever before. The watcr-takcrs comply
promptly with the regulations and the
plumbers are ceasing to give trouble 70 the
department by noncompliance with the
laws. Tho work of lowering the stop.rock
boxes that protrude above the sidewalk has
been very successfully carried on. The
of tho department in
trying TO cconomizc water have
been quite numerous, among them
the action of having the public and
private fountains stopped which proved of
considerable benefit. A number of new
buildings in the course of erection will
require an additional supply of water, and
If they are not provided with enough for
domestic purposes IL is believed that builders
will be disinclined to venture on building
more new residences and the District will
suffer accordingly. The Water Registrar
approves of continuing and repairing the
various pumps in the city, but objects to
the sinking of new wells. He asks that
the police be instructed to arrest all persons
found throwing gravel or dirt into the
pumps or in any way injuring them. The
report closes with compliment to the elf
cheney of the employees of the Office.
The total receipts of the water department
were $40, 2iS.33, and the expenditures $780,
1871, including interest on sinking fund.
There are AGA pumps in working order in
the District, SIG hydrants, $50 fire plugs,
and 175 miles of water mains. The csti-
mate of expenses of the office for the year
ending June 80, 1888, is $63, 411.50.
