OUT OF SOAP.
How the City Is Rich and Yet Very
Poor.
Her Bonded Indebtedness Largely Reduced,
But No Loose Cash on Hand---How
Shall We Raise the Wind?

As stated yesterday morning, the city
finds herself III somewhat of financial
strait. Her banker has declined to cash
any further orders and increase her over
draft and the question before her fnanciers
is how shall ready money be raised to meet
current expenses. This same problem was
met and solved in 1881 and the only way
out of the present difficulty is to return to
first principles, viz: Pay the overdraft by
an issue of bonds and then conduct matters
on a strictly cash basis, This may be
rough on some of the proposed street i'm
provements, but it is perhaps the only plan.
The Finance Committee was called to
meet yesterday afternoon, but only three
members responded, Messrs Wilson, Hall
and Wilkinson. They. with the city Clerk
and Receiver, canvassed the situation and
came to the conclusion given above. The
present Indebtedness of the city, of all
kinds, is $652,6jO. as follows

AT THE Fatal WELL.
Structures on the Efforts to Recover the
BODY of smith.

Strtsbureb on inc EuOEts 70 heCOteH tne
Body of smith.
Yesterday afternoon REGISTER reporter
visited the scene Of the late
disaster at the Water Works to
see what progress had been made
toward the recovery of the body of the vic
tim John Smith. To say the scribe was sur
prised at VITA. he saw would be expressing it
mildly. In the first place no work wasdone
Tuesday night, and yesterday the only thing
done was the putting down of wooden
curbing which is to be thirty-fve feet
in diameter This is nine feet wider
than the casing which eaved in,
This casing is built on top of the hole, over
the old well, and to-day the work Of digging
will be commenced and as it progresses the
casing will lower itself
Whether the contractor OF the Water
Board rs responsible for the very apparent
lack of zeal in trying to recover the unfor-
tunate mans remains, we are unable to
say but one thing is certain, some oneis to
blame, Cor there has been no effort made to
recover the body, except what work was
done on Tuesday, if it could be called an
effort. Almost every man who visited the
scene was load in their condemnation of
the Water Board and contractor for not
making an organized attempt to Sc
cure the body. Nowhere in the
United States has such apparent negli-
gence been countenanced, in fact everywhere
when an accident similar to this one, has
occurred, the work Of excavating was COM
menced immediately and was kept up with
out intermission until the body or bodies
were recovered
This casing or eurbing is done in avery
careful and deliberate manner and is made
so that it can be used promptly.
This work Of easing the well in substan-
tial manner could very readily have been
done, after the great objective point had
been reached-the recovery of the body of
the victim of the casualty, John Smith
