DON'T WANT WATERED STOCK
Reply OF the Citizens Committed 10 The
OHer Of tiie Water Company 10
Sell Out.
They VIII Not Advise Its Acceptance
They Make Proposition TO PresI-
dent Latham.

The Citizens Committee had a meeting
yesterday, at which the trump card Of the
president Of the Water Company was fully
dicussed, and offer the following
To TT. Latham, President Me nphis Water Com
paay:
The Citizens Committee have had under
consideration the two propositions set forth
by you in your card TO the Public" aud
beg leave to reply that they cannot De ac-
cepted or recommended to the people for &C
ceptance,' because the Taxipg-D strict gov
ernmeut is not empowered by any act of thu
Legislature 10 purchase w~aterworks at an
appraised valae, and Of which TACT you, no
doubt, are we'll aware of aud was aware Of
when you made the offer.
The COMMITTEES could not po4sibly advise
the people to accept your proposition TO pay
par for stock which has been Watered up
from about 100000 10 $4,000; and then
for four years you have been collecting full
ws!er-rates from the people, which has en-
ablsd you to declare aud divide among YOUR
'six or eight stockholders" large cash divi-
dends. Tnis, however, would not be 70 OBJ
iecionable had you given the city a full
supply Of pure aud good water, which has
not been done by your company.
As previously stated, the committee would
be willing TO advise the people TO join your
company in erecting waterworka, such as will
furnish an ample supply Of good, clear
water. The only obstacle in the way is the
value put upon your worke, or p!aut, by you,
which works, at bss', Can now only supply
water ip moderate quantities suitable for
eve or fire purposes. In view of these fact.
and the other fact that the plant is already
mortgaged TO secure the payment OF 100000
Waterworks boads, YOU proposition NUT be
declined.
If the Water Company will agree to put
their work., or plant, into another company
at a reasonable price, say $500 ,000, and take
stOck for The same to that amount, the com.
nittee will do their beLt to gel the citiz ms tc
take the balance OF the stock necessary tc
erect such works as will be able to supply, ir
sufficient quantity, the best water to be had
either from Horn Lake or the Mississippi
river, az may be found most practicable by
competent engineers.

SAVED MY LIFE

and | nave such faith in its eventually cur
log me-, that l would moi, for 5000 cash, OBJ
Dgate myself to q1it taking it for good. For
twenty-five years | have suffered beyond e1-
preston from cancer and It's effects, and have
exhausted the whole catalogue OF remedies.
The medicine seemsd to fed instead Of curing
it, and it grew gradually worse. The cancer
was on the left aide Of my neck, just behind
the ear, ard in time spread its poison through
my entire system. My neck WAS stiff, the
whole of the uppe part Of my body wss full
OF pair, and l bal virtually lost the use Of
to'n arms. Ny general health had given
way, and the cancer was Gaping my life
away, and it was only a question of time
TO myself and friends as TO when life would
yield to its ravsges. 10 this condition | began
the use of Swift Specific, and the frat bottle
relieved the stiffness in my neck, and my
general health tegsn to improve. BY the
Iime / had finished the second bottle l had
regaiued the use Of my arms, aud felt like a
new man. The Specific drove the poison put
through The cancer, and relieved my system
OF it in that way.
81 believe that SSitt's SPECIFIC Is the great
est medicine ever discovered, snd that il is
the only remedy known to science that will
cure cancer, and it does this by forcing the
poisoned blood out through the pores Of the
skin. / will take pleasure in giving any in

BosToS, August 6.-The suspension rate
Saturday night Of the leather house of Her.

uneasiness. A careful analysis of the situa-
tioD, however, shows no cause for general

100000, will be able tc save q portion Of his
capital With the exception of Hersey,
Whittier u WymaD, the only real failure
has been F. Long & Bros. The other con-
Germs are doing a solvent aud profitable bust
ness, but their statements will probably show
that they can pay but twenty cents on the
dollar. In each case their liabilities are on
notes, on which the name OF F. Shaw & Bro.
appear. The liabilities OF +. Shaw & Bros.,

about s., $1,000, but it would be entirely err
roneoUs 10 say that the total Liabilities OF the

last are simply joint liabilities for the main
portion of Shaw Bros.'s debts. The banks

Boston the bank holding the largeft amount
OF thi. paper, If it should prove a total loss,

fresh disaster.

A Sketch of James Dryer Maoadaras
Adventurer of Note.

New York Dispatchl
The News says that James Dryer Macada-
ras. who, according to the cable dispatches,
is suspected to be ''No. u and chief of the
"lnvincibles," is an adventurer of some
note. He was born in the north of Ireland,
and gained notoriety during the Franco
Prnssian war. He was last heard of during
the recent Egyptian war, when it was aald
that it was his intention to raise legion Of
Irishmen to serve under the flag of Arab
Pasha.
During the Franco-Prussian war and after
the French troops had met with many re-
verses, Macadaras waited upon General
Count Palitsa, minister of war under the
Empire, and offered TO raise an Irish brigade
to be attached to one Of the French army
corps. The minister of war jumped at Nae
adaras's proposition and without delay COM
missioned him to go to Ireland for that pur-
pose. Macadaras represented to the Count
that he had held commission in the Anglo
Indian army.
Armed with an autograph letter of the ex-
Empress Eugene he arrived in Ireland, and
singing out the most prominent gentlemen
Ia the Irish metropolis, who would be likely
to aid him in his project, he presented his
credentials to them and received most cor
dial welcome. Among the gentlemen Who
welcomed him were p. j Smythe, now mem
Der of Parliament for Tipperary, Peter Pail,
Nj. Z. Sweeney, then lord mayor of Dublin,
and A. S. Sulliven, M. p, ard then editor of
the Irish Nation, who recently ltctured in
this country. Macadaras arfully concealed
ms enterprise from all, with the exception
OF MIR. Smythe His ostensible mission was
the raising of an ambulance corps. He sue
ceeded, and as soon as they arrived in France
they joined the foreign legion of the French
army.
For his services Macadaras received the
commission of a colonel in the French army
| and was attached to the staff of General
| Chanzy, commanding the army of the Loire.
| Macadaras took no active service, but de-
voted his Time to recraitiag, Ii was a9Jhgsai
only troop sergeant-major in the British
| army in India, and that all his fighting had
been under the British flag.
After the war Macadaras came to this
| country and married the daughter of veal
thy merchant of ST. Louis. His wife is re-
puted to be worth 100000. Macadaras has
| been living in Paris for some time. He
became affiliated with the Fenian Brother
hood, but was distrusted. While in the
United States he did not belong to any Irish
organization.
| DR.. Mcguire, leading physician of this
| city, who served in the French army, SAYS
| he is satisfied Macadaras was an unprinci-
| pied military adventurer. Macadaras claims
to have received several decorations, includ.
| ing the Victoria cross
The description of the mysterious ssNo. -
| 1t is said, tallies with Macadaras. The Feni-
ans here say that the British government
have mentioned Macadaras's name to throw
the real No. u off his guard, as they would
not have given his name away until they
had him in custody.
