views-to get water for the city, peaceably
If possible, but otherwise II necessary.
GAIN OF WATER SUNDAY.
There was a free interchange OF opinions,
and Superintendent Davis and Chairman
Davis gave all the information they could.
IL appeared that on Sunday-the mill. be-
ing closed for the day-a considerable stream
OF water that would otherwise have beeH
flowing into the canal from tue dam at
Three-hiIe locks passed around that dam
and was caught ia the city dam at the
pump-heuse.
With the power thus gained Superinten.
dent Davis was able TO work the turbine
wheel 10 move OF pump at a tolerable speed
and one breast wheel to move smother al
pretty nearly full speed. SO the water.
power moved these two wheels and at the
same time the steam-pump on the Holly wood
bank was doing its utmost, as 1t has been
for many days.
how MUCH WATER WAS GATSsD SUNDAY.
Well, more pumps being at work and
the consumption being smaller than on any
other day Of the week, there was a very
considerable accumulation Of water Ia the
old reservoir there is no pumping now into
| The new reservoir, but exactly how much
was not asceItained yesterday. Superin-
tendent Davis thought 1t probably about one
or two million gallons; Chairman Dsyl:
thought II much mOre-probsbly three oil
four millions. Anyhow, the gain was de-
cided. and hundreds Of prudent household
ers filed bathtubs, washing tubs, barrels.
and cooking vessels with the precious 11ldi
which, by the way, since 1t is 50 scarce, il
clearer and tastes nicer and swester thar

1t was stated that the pipes between the

were about complete, and that 10 case

main 10 be laid only q connection OF about

THREE PLANS.

There were three plans proposed, and
their consideration urged by the Mayor:
FIRST. To shut the gates vt the three
mile-locks dam and throw the
stream back into the river (and
consequently intO the city dam
as TO great part Of iO, and to
leave the canal empty.
SECOND. To let the influx at the Three
Mile locks remain as at present,
and give the stream a partial out
let at Rutherford's old mill.siIe.
THIRD. To open some old gate~ays OPP
posite Hollywood, aud through
them let water out OF the canal
directly into the raceWay OF the
pump-hOuse.
Each scheme contemplated s,oppage OF all
the mills receiving power from The canal.
The 1rst was rejected because it would
stop the Hollywood stssm-pump, and be-
cause DR.. Cnbell objected 10 leaving the ca
nal and the basin dry, with their banks ex-
posed to the suns rays 10 breed disease, aud
maybe death.
The second and third were regarded as
practicable. OF the Rutherford outlet, 1t
was truly said that it would waste some
water. OF the Hollywood outlet (sld gates
it was truly said that it would waste no
water, but that it would take some little
time TO fix it.

VARIOUS VIEWS.

In the public interest and at the request
OF the editors Of the Dispatch number OF
gentlemen, whose views will be Of weight,
here express their opinions as to what
ought TO be done IN this emergency.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-08-23

Some OF the gentlemen present said it
could be done; others that it could not, for
the reason that the pumps are too closely
attached to the water-wheels. IL, however,
steam can be substituted for water-power--
II the engines can be obtained-there will
be the saving Of all the water that would
pass over said water-Whees. Ii is an open
question whether the substitution can be
made; but the Mayor and a party OF ma
shinisis and engineers will visit the pump
house at % O'Clock this morning, and they
will soon find out whether il can be done
or not.
This conclusion reached, the conference
adjourned.

WE MUST HAVE A srELM.PUHP.

Mayor Carrington, remarking that this
was all good enough as far as they bad gone,
urged that immediate steps be takon to pur-
chase and put up a new steam-pump. 1t
seemed that It would be some months before
the new pump.house would be ready for
work; the dry season was only just APP
preaching, and II experience was worth
anything that warned us 10 provide for
drought in October. He thought Rich
moDd could not afford TO delay. and the
Mayor had positive information that the
needed steam-pump could be put mp In
sixty days, and for $4,000, including
foundation. He had seen in the hands OF
Mr.. Alexander Calder a proposition TO this
effect from the Blskes, responsible north
ern house. The Mayor said that long ago
this proposition had been placed by Mr..
Calder 10 the hands OF Superintendent DI-
Wis to be laid before the committee.
Superintendent Davis said that be had
never received the proposition.
Nobody had ever heard OF Ii before.

Mr.. Axtell, general mansger OF the Rich-
mond and Allegheny railroad, which cor
poration is the successor OF the old James
River and KaDawha Company. Nj Axlell
came up TO the Mayors office in lew
minutes.
The posture OF affairs was explained 10
him and be was asked II bis company
would consent to let the city put in opera
ton any OF the plaus suggested.
In courteous but in an exceedingly
brief manner Mr. AXteil replied that be
would not consent without the Tredgar and
other mills would first relieve his con-
nany from all responsibility in the matter.
He explained that they were bound by
contract 10 furnish the mills with certain
water. That since the city bad prevented
them from getting water Into the canal
from the Nine.hliIe locks (Bos hers dam,
the mills bad complained OF an inadequate
supply. Tae Allegheny Company, Mr..
AxtelI stated, would do anything IN tnelr
power TO promote the interests OF hien-
mond, but gentlemen would see that thelr
first duty was 10 supply the mills.

LETTER FROM CONTROLLER
HALLOCK

The SENTINEL is in receipt of o letter
from J. F. Hallock, State Controller, in
which he calls attention to some mac
curacies Of statement that have appeared
in this paper in the discussion of the
States finances. Mr.. Hallock says, also,
that he cannot agree with the SENTINEL
in the cloudy view it takes of
the outlook for the State Treasury.
1t is barely possible that we may
have erred in minor details, but
there can be no question about the
soundness Of the conclusions reached.
Beyond any sort of doubt we are near
ing the constitutional borrowing power
of the State, and it is better that the
taxpayers be brought face to face with
the inevitable at once, to the end that
some plan may be devised to avert i'm.
pending bankruptcy. The Constitution
limits the States liability to $500, 900.
We have plunged in for nearly one.
half OF that sum in the past year. The
revenues are inadequate, and it can only
be a question Of time, and that not Is
months hence, when we shall have
reached the end of the rope. And what
then? 1t takes no prophet to answer
this query. We must either levy five
per cent taxes to defray current expenses
or give up our organization as o State.
That is all there is of it.

Ed. Hyer RiddIed with
by Burns Buchanan.
The SENTINEL ia in. receipt of an eek
ira A" issued by the Bellevue News under
date Of Nov. 2. 1t contains the following
particulars of a bloody tragedy enacted in
that place on the date mentioned:
Last night B. F. Perry was acquitted,
by a jury Of u men, from the charge OF
numbering Dave Ray on the streets OF
Bellevue.
This morning q man by the name OF
Burns Buchanan and Edward Hyer, a
butcher formerly of Boise City, but lately
in the employ of T. Hutchins OF Bellevue,
got into q discussion about the Perry mat,
ter in Shepherds saloon, which resulted
in the death OF Hyer.
About 10 A. M. Burns slapped Hyer In
the face and drew q revolver. This was IN
Shops saloon. Shep objected and they
walked out on the street, Burns telling
Hyer to heel himself and Hyer went away
to do SO up Oak street. Burns went up
Main street and returned to the front part
Of Burch's saloon, standing in the tracks
Of the late Dave Ray. Soon Hyer appeared
| between the B. & b. stage Office and Tom
Mitchell's saloon, armed with a Winches-
ter. He stepped out from behind the
buildings. looking for Buchanan, but
| before he could discover his man Buchah-
nan shot from Burch's sidewalk, one shot
| after another-two from a shotgun and
one from q revolver. Hyer staggered to
| the rear Of Mitchell's saloon where Tom.
took him, and there he died, riddled with
| buckshot.
Buchanan Immediately struck out, but
the officers, with a strong posse, are after
| him.
It is feared the Perry-Ray business il
not yet over.

~IMPERsONAL

The newspaper should be as nearly al
possible separated in thought from any
particular person who writes for it. The
editor should not absorb the newspaper.
He should not be conspicuous, nor should
he be aimed at in criticism. The news.
paper should be an organ with its func.
tions Independent of persons and having
an idealized life of it's own. A man who
has enlightened views upon the subject
ought to understand that editorial declar.
alton derives the greater part Of its in
iuence from the form in which it is
delivered. So far as the views advanced
in the editorial columns of a newspaper
have any effect upon the public mind, it
is because they are the views, not of the
individual writer. but of the journal in
which they appear, and to deprive them
Of their imp~ersonality would be to render
them In individual expression of opinion
which the reader would be very much
less inclined to respect.

ESPECIAL TO THE ~sENTrNEL.l
LONDON, Nov. IA rumor is current in
political circles that negotiations are on
foot for the relief OF the suspects on con-
dition that they will stand aloof, and let
the Land Act have a fair trial. Nothing
is decided as yet, but it is said that some
OF the suspects are inclined to say, "Yes,
we will keep our hands off for a reasonable
time, but we do not bind ourselves to any
thing" The rumor is credited that the
Government would be glad OF any excuse
to retract the steps taken since Mr.. Glad
stones Leeds speech. 1t is yet too early
to give a final opinion Of the work of the
Land Commission, for, after all, the real
test of the Act must be made on the mon
ster estates in the west and southwest of
Ireland, where the famines occur in bad
seasons and where there are thousands
upon thousands paying from Fl to f3
yearly, to whom rs per cent cut off Of their
rents would be of little or no benefit, yet
upon whose holdings the landlords have
spent thousands in improvements. The
number of applications to fix fair rent
now before the Land Court reaches 16, 1000.
The Commission, which opens in
Claremoris, the cradle Of the agitation,
on Monday, will have to deal with that
phrase of the land question which is purely
characteristic of Ireland. The landlords
are a%pprehensive, but are awaiting the de-
cision upon some OF the well-managed
estates in the west of Ireland before giving
up the fight.
Parnell was interviewed by two prom
inent members of the Home Rule League
yesterday. He said the recent judgments
at Belfast agreed with his estimate, hat
rents in Ulster should be reduced to Grit
fiths' valuation. He believed that the
reductions in South ireland would not be
as large, and consequently would not
satisfy tenants. Any general reduction OF
rents to Grifiths' valuation would be the
cause Of the extent to which land is mort
gagged. Deprive the landlords of the means
of living and compel the Government tc
buy them out or compensate.
