WATER WORkS.
SOno Alarming Experiments with
Water from Springs aud Cisterns.

The desk OF the secretary of the Beard Of
Health bore a close resemblance to an
aFothecary's prescription case Yesterday. It
was covered with rows OF bottles, big aud
little, Of all shapes aud sizes, filled with
water from various sources and Of various
shades of purity. Wolf river was there, of
course, with water from cis'erns, Wells, and
springs in various por,ions of the city. Sec.
retary Purusll had been experimenting, and
his conclusion was that at least one fourth of
the cisterD water Memphis uses Is anything
but healthy for the human stomach. He
tested each Of The bottles OF water by sim.
pie process, and in all OF them discovered
organic and inorganic impurities. Iu the
bottom of each of the bottles a sediment of
black fixes could be see1, which had been
separated from the body of the wafer by
pefmsngauats OF potash AID a solution Of
siver-a very simple method. An expert
ulent with filtered Wolf river water was very
Satisfactory, aud ils superiority for drinking
purposes over nearly all that taken from
cislerDs was very apparent.

A Times correspondent at Berlin says ii is
clearly shown by The distribes of the clerical
ard government press that crisis is near. 1t
is feared that if the ultra tories continue TO
support the clericsls, the government will
turn for support 10 the moderate Liberals. Ii
is expected that the present msjority in the
Reichstag and L,ndtag will soon be disrupt
ed. The Free Conservatives are disposed to
follow the government, even in the new diff.
ferences with Rome. The moderate Lib.
erals, however, are very nistrustful OF the
chapgeahle policy of Bismarck, and the S.
cessioniats snd members of the Fortschritts
party will always oppose the government.
Therefore the Center will, for the time at
lsast, remain masters Of the situation.

THE IKUN TRADE.
The Weekly Review Of the Market ny
the Iron Age.


PIrTsBURGH, April 27.-speaking Of the
depression Of the pig metal market, the
Iron Age says: "Under such circumstances
as those which exist at the moment in the
iron market, it is the worst kind OF folly to
shut ones eyes to the facts OF the case. No
one Is deceived by false showing Of firm
ness when prices are hopeleasly weak
and tending downward, and the pro-
ducer who holds on, hoping against
hope, and refusing TO blow out his furnace
when he cannot meet the market without
loss, and when nothing but curtailmentof
production will restore The market to q
healthy tone, has no reason to complain
II helped 10 a decision be Is 30 reluct-
ant to make for himself. All connected
with the iron trades will have reason TO be
glad when bed rock is reached and prices
cannot decline further. It Is possible, but
not probable, that this has been secured
by cut OF two dollars a ton on pig
iron, and II q reduction OF two dollars
Is necessary, the best interests OF the
trade demand that It be made. We are
sorry that the necessity exists, but since Il
does exist we are glad 10 see the market
prices put down to the figures at which
iron Is selling. Our representatives In
Congress might Just as well see what the
farce OF tariff revision has dOne for the
country. Cold stacks and idle mills will
more strongly emphasize the folly Of
the liant Congress than even q
weak market with an oyer.supply
Of iron. Let us see Just how badly
we are hurt. There must be bottom
somewhere, and il It Is not reached until
we touch figure at which few furnaces
can run and none make q profit, the
sooner We get down TO that figure the
sooner will confidence be restored and con-
sumption begin to show q healthy increase.
Meanwhile we shall witness decline In
the cost Of production, and the furnace in.
terest will be In good shape to take nd.
vantage Of an improved market as soon a
an improvement shall come"

1t 10 very probable that the Ward boys
went to DEVILS lake upon the same mo.
tive that carried Creel and his syndicate
thither. Probably their aim was to gain
by dealing in land, rather than by settling
upon and cultivating 1t. They were not In
Creel's ring, however. They were young
men OF good business faculties and high
promises. They had been carefully trained
and educated, and stood high in the re.
spect of many acquaintances among the
merchants and other conspicuous inhabi.
tants OF Chicago. That they resorted to
any unlawful practice or artifce, or at.
tempted to commit any act Of fraud or In
justice toward any person In Dakota, will
not be credited by their acquaintances with
out positive proofs.
It is reported that they attempted to
"jump claim" which one Bell, land
speculator from st. Paul, had undertaken
10 hold for nonresident, and that for this
they were assassinated by band Of ruf.
fans led by Bell, II this report is true,
they committed no offense against either
law or good morals. Every person OF re.
spectacle information knows that there Is
no law by which q pre-emptor can set up
claim to land without occupancy or some
sign oil possession, or by which one per-
son can hold two claims, or by which an
occupying claimant Of one tract can hold an
adjacent tract for non.occupying claim.

DIR. BLACK IHTERyIEREp.
He Tells what He Knows Regarding the
Lnte IIIuean OF the President,

Lhte lIueth OF tne FEebiueut.
wAsuISoroS April 27.-When the pres
idental party returned from Savannah last
Sunday night, dispatch was sent from this
city by the Associated Press, impugning
the accuracy Of the statements Of the
special correspondents who accompanied
the President in relation to his sickness.
The Tallapoosa arrived here Tuesday night,
and DR.. Black, the ships surgeon, has been
interviewed about the Presidents illness.
He says that he was summoned to General
Arthur's room about o'clock Friday
morning. He found him suffering from q
violent attack OF collie, and administered
an emetic, which was Immediately thrown
from the stomach. A dose Of spirits OF
morphine was then given the patient, but
this was rejected, together with portion
Of the contents OF the stomach; But the
pain was not allayed, ss the irritating causes
apparently had not been removed, Or.
Black gave the President an enema. The
violent pains continued, and q second dose
OF morphine was administered, after which
the President gradually obtained relief,
and late in the afternoon Of Friday he
was able to leave his room. Dr.. Black says
that the Presidents symptoms at one time
indicated inflammation Of the stomach and
he was greatly relieved when his patient
began 10 improve.

spRAauE's sEcosD nARRIAGE.
A Statement by the Minister who Pc,
formed tho Ceremony.

SrAuS1os, Va, April 27.-The Rev. W.
@ Hullihen, the clergyman who performed
the marriage ceremony by which e1.Gor.
ernor sprague, Of Rhode Island, was united
to his present wife, says that many OF the
statements contained in the letter OF Mrs.
Kate Chase sprague's counsel was untrue
and unjust to him. From his explanation,
it appears that he did all that
could have been done by any
conscientious clergymen to arrive at the
facts regarding Mr.. Sprague's first marriage
and divorce before he consented TO solem.
nize the second marriage. In answer to a
question as 10 whether lie knew that Mrs.
Calvert was q divorced woman he said:
".No, sir. Mr.. Echols spoke OF a beautiful
young lady, and 1t never occurred to me
ask about her civil condition. hope the
time will come when the State laws will be
such that the State officers will be bound
to make the necessary investigation. In
cases OF this kind we clergymen are liable
as it is now to be placed in a very awk.
ward dilemma" The reverend gentleman
related case in which clergyman, on &c.
count Of general rumor, had declined to
marry couple and he was compelled to
pay damages that were almost ruinous to
him in q slander suit that was subsequently
brought. The rector also said that he had
endorsed on the paper containing the
questions asked by him Of Governor
Sprague the following memoranda:
"TRtN1TY CHURCH REcroRr, /
STAusToS, March s, 1883
Each one OF within questions was pro.
pounded to Ex. Governor William Sprague,
and was answered satisfactorily by him In

erning the marriage Of divorced person
(Big Canons). The questions were delib.

William Sprague, and were again salts.

aforesaid canon.

A CHICAGO OPINION.
what the "rimes" Has 20 say About the
Tragedy.

The tragedy in Dakota invites public
attention to a manifestation Of lawless vio-
lence in this country which ought to be
punished with the promptness and severity
that English justice is now melting out to
assassins, u
The assassination OF the brothers Fred.
erick and Charles Ward was crime for
which the perpetrators should hang. That
is the sum Of the whole matter. Admit
all that border rufiianism has set up by
telegraph in the way Of apology for the
tragedy, 1t is still not reduced from the
character Of brutal assassination. Even
tenor Of border apoloeetics goes to
magnify its atrocity. According to the
belief Of Mr.. Heber Creel Zone Of the
speculative owners Of paper city called
Creel City,, the assassins were members Of
an organization called "the Citizens Pro.
,ecttye association" The protective object
Of that society must have been peculiar
one. II evidently was not to protect the
lives or persons Of the settlers in that re-
mote region against lawlesS violence. It
appears TO have been on the contrary, to
protect the 'claims" Of its non.occupying
members to certain tracts Of land by the
methods Of lawless violence. The mem.
bers OF that association, Creel says, chad
sworn to kill the next man who jumped a
claim" and for that dreadful crime were
put to death. THAT Is frontier law" says
Mr.. Creel, "in mining camps or new towns.
Claim jumping Is punished by summary
death In all frontier communities, and in all
the Wards transgressed, and
