what of the water Comm issiom.

Since the election is over and the new
City Council is organized, and the re is
a majority in it opposed to the w alter
Commission, the natural inquiry is;
What of the Water Commission =
This is a question which outsiders can.
not answer, and it is doubtful If The
Chief Engineer and the Water Com IN is.
sion can tell themselves.
1t is pretty certain that the City
Council will pursue the even course
that it has been pursuing for the last
few weeks, and having passed the ord
nance appropriatingS5O,0O 0tor the water
works it looks as if the City Council
could not be easily diverted from its
purpose. Should the Water Com mission
yet out an injunction or have a writ OF
mandamus issued, neither OF them
conld be argued before the next No.
vember Court and consequently the City
Council until that time If not much
longer will continue in possession OF the
water works.
1t is given out, with appearance Of
truth, that States Attorney George
Gray Esq, is the legal adviser of the
Water Commission, while it is as gen.
orally understood that Benjamin Nields
ESQ. and N. b Smithers, Esq, of Do
yer are the counsel for the City Coun
Gil. There are rumors that if the Wa.
ter Commission succeeds in its purposes
some of the bondholLers living out
side the State will bring suit in thu
United States courts AZ to the right OF
the Legislature TO pass any law which
will decrease the security of their
bonds.
The city stands for their paymen
now but if transferred TO n Waite Com
mission that owns nothing, and give NJ
security whatever to anybody, they arr
not 80 sure that their money will b
safe. lfthe case gets into the United
States Courts the peculiar manner o
governing Wilmington by way OF Dove
will be fully set forth and exposed.

No More ('ObDle StOne PAyemeAtS

Ex-Couucilman Bailey says he does
not think that any more cobble stone
pavements will be laid in the streets OF
Wilmington. There was II decided OPP
position to the laying of such pavement
in the old City Council, and when the
bed of Harrison street was ordered to
be paved Belgian blocks were stipulat
ed as the kind Of stone to be used. The
cost for Belgian blocks is but trliie
more than the cobble stones, but the dir
ference alone in the wear and tear OF
vehicles and injury to horses feet and
difference OF time Belgian block pave,
ment will last over IA cobhle stone pave
ment will make up twice over the dif'
ference of cost. 1t is believed that the
present City Council will carry out the
movement lnaugurated by their predc'
cessor, and that no more cobble stone
pavements will be laid in the city.

MUSLIN UNDERWEAR.
1t is ridiculous to get un-
derclothing in any other way
than ready-made, except when
you are Indifferent to the
cost.
BY making it at home jou
can expend twice the money
with a less satisfactory result
by having it made to order
you can expend any amount
and crafty your taste as full
ly as you may desire.
But when you want every
dollar to go as far as it can
go, in fine, medium or plain
garments, there is no doubt
about ready-made.

ST.. LOUIS, July l3.-A few minutes before
6 o'clock tonight heavy wind and rain
storm passed over the city and did consider
able damage both on laud and the river The
towboat Charlie Bowen. with the barge r d.
wing, was blown rom the moorings, at the
foot CT Buchanan street, forced across the
river and driven ashore just above
the bridge. 1t is said her bows are
stove In and she is sunk. The
barge struck one Of the piers of The bridge
and sunk. She was valued at $4,000, and in
sured for $500. She was a propeller. The
Nogoche aud a csnalboat belonging to Chi.
cago were blown from one of the lumber
yards TO the northern part of the citv across
the river, but both landed safely at Venice,
Ill. A lumber raft containing 100000 feet
boards and raft of logs OF 500 900 feet
was driven from their moorings
and foated down the river. The
lumber raft struck the bridge aud was
broken into three or four pieces, and Eve
men ou II had q narrow escape from drown
ing, but were rescued by tug. Three tugs
and tow-boat were sent after the RATS. So
far as now known the damage in the
city consists OF the unroo6ng of The Mis-
souri, Pacific freigbthouse, at Seventh asd
Poplar streets. the blind asylum, at Nor
gan and Twentieth streeta, and numerous
minor injuries 10 buildings In various parts of
the city, blowing down many chimney
signs, trees, fences, etc. The wind came from
the southwest, and was quite strong for few
moments. Vague reports are in circulation
that tornsdoes occurred in Moberly and al
one or two other places in the State, but the
telegraph wires are SO badly injured that nc
INF Jrmation can be obtained.
