the company. He is making the most
Of the means at his command, and has
given the old system a healthy start
toward popularity and efficiency. We
hope he may go ahead until such
changes are accomplished as will sat
isfy both the people at large who ride
and the owners Of the road. He has
certainly made a good beginning.

If the doctors do not kill him, the
President may get we'll, We hope
and pray that he may, not only on
account Of himself and family, but
that the country may be spared the
infection and disgrace Of such a man
as Arthur in the Presidential chair.
There is reason to believe that the
physicians in charge of the distin-
guished patient have been so elated
over the importance of their posi-
tons that they have made buDgle Of
the case. 1t is evident that they
have permitted his wound to heal over
at the mouth when this should have
been kept open for the natural dis.
charge of pus, Last night they found
it necessary to make an incision three
inches below the opening of the
wound so as to as to reach the path Of
the bullet transversely. Through the
new wound there was a healthy dis.
charge, and the President experienced
great relief. Ifproperly taken care Of
he yet stands a good chance to
recover.

fHE wATER WORKS cOMpArY.

The present directors Of this COM
pany and principal stockholders are
Messrs. Q. G. Graham, W. s. Bruce,
M. L. Meacham, G. w. Macrae and
II. j. Latham. Some of the stocks
however, has been sold, and there are
now altogether Observation-Disclosures.
There will be meeting of the stock
holders to. day, and it is probable that
four other directors will be elected,
making nine in all. Some prominent
citizens who hold stock have been
suggested. 1t would be fortunate if
the stock were more generally distrib-
uted, so as to secure wider co-opera-
ton, and dispel the idea of close
corporation. When every house.
holder in a city is compelled by law
to patrOnize private company, which
makes its own rules and sets its own
prices without consulting patrons,
the relation becomes a very delicate
one, and needs to be very closely
watched. The very slightest
abuse Of power in approach to arbi-
trary measures will be discovered, and
possibly create a stubborn prejudice.
Therefore We are glad to see step TO-
ward giving the people wider reprS-
EentatiOn in a matter Of such vital
cOncerh.i The company as now organ
lied claims to be going ahead, and so
it may be, but, like the mills of the
gods, it is slow grinding. 1t is claimed
that the works have a pumping cap &C.
ity Of five millions of gallons daily, but
that the actual result is only two mil.
lions, owing to wastage and loss OF
pressure by contracted pipe. The
discovery was made rather late that
the main pipe is reduced from q
twenty.inch diameter at Safarans
street, and that somewhere down this
way it again bulges out into twenty
inch pipe. Now it is proposed to
bring twenty-inch pipe, addi-
tional from Saffarans street down
Third to Jefferson, and to
extend thence south ten
inch pipe. The laying Of these pipes
and other improvements going west is
stated will cost $4,000. This is to be
completed by the first of October.
Such is the qualified promise of the
company. New gong pumps will lie
placed at the works they say by the
first of September. With these and
other improvements unnecessary to
enumerate completed in the fall, it is
estimated that the water works could
supply the city with 100000 gallons
of water daily, which would be more
than enough for all purposes. I'm
fortunately promises have been made
that were not fulfilled and the people
are little skeptical. The intention
may hav9 been good enough, but has
the management been sufficiently
vigorous and practical % meet the
pressing necessities of the consumers?
The inquiry occupies a big space in
the public mind. The people are
sensitive but not unreasonable.
They pay their money and expect a
fair return. Nothing short Of a prompt
and vigorous administration of the
Water Company affairs will reinstate
it in the good will and cordial support
of those who are expected to fill its
treasury. The benefit should be a
mutual one, and we hope it will be-
come mutually satisfactory as soon as
possible.

said to be the most powerful generator

mating power is fifty times as great as
that of the ordinary electric light, be-

The lamp was built by order for the

in the navy, to scan the sea for torpe-
does, and to furnish light in night en-
gagements and manUuvres. With the
aid of simple reflector, beam of
light, it is estimated, can be projected

heat estimated at half million de-

horsepower is required to produce the
light,
