The German Volunteers Boom.

The German Volunteers had large and
enthusiastic meeting at their armory last
night, there being forty-five active and
number Of veteran and honorary members
of the corps present. The Volunteers have
started a regular boom, and the spirit that
Is manifested among them argues most
fayorably for a splendid company. The
proceedings last night were marked with
unanlmity and general enthusiasm, and on
their next regular parade they will uhdoub;-
edly make magnificent showing.
This is evidenced by the fact that among
the business transacted was the election Of
tloenty-oHe new members, larger number,
IL we are not mistaken, than any one COM
pany have elected at a single meeting.
The new uniform, of which mention has
previously been made, was unanimously
adopted, and arrangements made for the
members to have their measures taken at
once.
It was decided to have a grand picnic
early in August, and their prize drill on the
9th Of October, when the corps will make
their first appearance in their new uniforms.
The drill will close with grand military
ball, and a suitable committee will be ap-
pointed to carry out the arrangements with
ayiew to ensuring perfect success.
At the close Of the meeting the corps
were invited to partake Of refreshments
provided by veteran member Geo. Oh.
Gemunden and others, and an hour or SO
was convivially passed in discussing the
future of the corps.
We congratulate the Germans upon their
"boom, the result of the new life which
seems to have been lately infused into their
ranks, and predict that their prize drill in
their new uniform, on the 9th Of October,
will be a most creditable and satisfactory
exhibition.

The water supply.

Editor Morning Ne0s In a late paper
notice complaints that the upper stories Of
many houses In the city have no regular
supply Of water, and the use of street or
sidewalk sprinklers, at improper times is
given as the reason.
This is a good reason, and perhaps the tax
payers can afford to purchase another $25,
900 pump to supply the deficiency. But
this will not do it unless some check be
given to the extravagant use Of the water,
and carelessness in stopping the flow Of 1t
from the faucets. l have seen instances Of
faucets ever leaking freely, and my ear has
suggested waste where could not see.
Few persons can comprehend the power
necessary to raise the water into the upper
stories of the houses, and the consequent
force Of its pressure in the lower stories.
The plumber should have some science,
and In fact our city fathers would be bene-
flied by little of the physiology which is,
no doubt, impaired to their sons by the i'm
proved modern school system.
Why cannot some mode of measuring the
water be useG, so that each householder
should pay for It according to the quantity
used or wasted?
1t is an error to have the whole water
system connected with the power necessary
to supply the upper stories OF the houses,
and to amuse the boys with the sprinkling
pipes. 1t would be cheaper to abolish the
latter and have separate system to furnish
water for the higher houses, and let the &C.
cupants pay for Carrying their water up
stairs for them.
In your paper of June 30th see pros
pect of further adding to the water by
adopting the advice OF q Col. Cook who is
"best water work engineer, and
an expert in such matters" OF course Col.
Cook will advocate the adoption of his
speciality" ''the Stand pipe," and will
succeed, although it is in direct opposition
to what l propose above, for he has the ad-
vantage OF being on the spot, aud can carry
the point by the use of scientific terms,
which will bear weight with the city fathers
according to their unintellieibillty.

Two COnstabIes Nearly Drowned BY
Prisoner, Who Escapes.

Yesterday morning Magistrate Naughtin
issued a warrant against Hilton Stevens,
colored, charging him with larceny, and
placed It in the hands of COnstsbles Joe Sim
mons and James Adams for execution. The
constables. accompanied by a dog, pro-
ceeded across the canal to the place
where Stevens was workiCg, and
finding that individual at once took him in
custody. He made no resistance, and the
three men and the dog started back to the
city. On reaching the canal opposite the
foot of Bryan street the cOnstables
entered small row boat lying
near the bank, and started to row across.
WheE about in the middle of the stream,
| Stevens jumped up suddenly, and, rock
| ing the boat vigorously, managed to com
pletelY capsize it, and the entire party were
| soon laundering in the water. Stevens Is
a fine swimmer, and at once struck out for
shore, which he reached in safety,
and levanted. The cOnstables could not
swim, and, as the water is quite deep at that
point, they were f0undering about in de-
morallzed condition. The dog, which was
also thrown into the water by the upsetting
of the craft, was completely nonplussed
by the strange proceedings, and amused
himself by jumping first on the back of one
and then the other, his weight forcing them
| downward and giving them good ducking.
After considerable struggling they managed
to reach the bank, and emerged dripping
wet and presenting a sorry appearance.
| Their prisoner WAS gone, aud they had ac-
complished nothing beyond getting a
/ thorough Wetting.

The Church Guild RxcursIon,

The steamer II. B. Plant left her wharf
yesterday afternoon at half past two O'Clock
with very large number of ladies and
gentlemen, on an excursion to TYbee, I'M
der the auspices of the Young Mems
Church Guild. The Mechanics Brass Band
had been engaged to accompany them, but,
being delayed, did not reach the wharf IN
til after the steamer had departed. The
band however, went down on the six o'clock
the disappointment that was generally
felt, by their excellent playing after their
arrival and on the return trip, which was
made by moonlight. the party not reaching
here until after midnight. The excursion
was alike pecuniary and social success.

Great Reduction-Good News,

The well known Congress street milliner,
Mr.. H. G. Houston, has determined on
another reduction in the prices of the ele-
giant array of goods now in his establish
ment. The articles are all seasonable, of
the most fashionable styles and novelties,
but it is necessary, in consequence of other
arrangements for more eligible quarters,
that he clear out the present line of goods,
hence the reduction. Ladies who need
anything in his line will do well to call
without delay and inspect his stock,
as the throngs of fair ones that
constantly fill his attractive establishment
give evidence that his course is appreciated
and that there will be few bargains left. 1t
is unnecessary to enumerate the articles; We
can only advise our lady friends to call and
see for themselves. This is no announce
ment for buncombe, as visitors will find out
by calling, and, therefore, II you are dis
