The houses of Messrs John Men,
ard and Stewart Abbott we've burn
ed Wednesday night, both houses
and contents. being IL total loss
with the exception of a bureau anil contents
saved by Mr.. Menard. The occupants barely
had time to get out when the roofs fell In.
Mrs. Abbott was carried out, and within two
minutes the roof fell. Her youngest son was
somewhat burned in getting out. Not even
the clothing Of the families was saved, and
Mr.. Menard had to walk up town barefooted
to buy himself q pair of shoes. Mr.. Abbott
also came up town in scanty apparel, and
was helped some by a few of our citizens.
The loss was about 500; no insurance.
An Intelligencer reporter visited the sup
ply well of the Water company, last Thurs
day. 1t is located about 400 yards VIC, It Of the
foot of Commerce street. The well is about
% feet deep. and contains about 10 feet of
water. Before starting to the well we were
told that the walls were settling, and there
was danger of their sinking out of sight. We
found the superintendent of the work, and
he said there was no danger Of the walls ever
settling more than IN inch; that there WAS
now a sufficient flow of water for all purpos-
es; that the well was as deep as they wanted
tand after the connections were made and the
well cleaned ont, 1t would be ready for use,
The walls will be raised about 8 or 10 feet
above the level of the sahd-bar, and a roof
put over the wall. We found a large force
at work on the pump-house, the walls of
which were nbeut four feet above the ground.
The pumps will be located IL or 20 feet b. low
the ground. The engineers office ia about
ready for the root. The well, the pumps and
the tower will be connected by wrought iron
pipes about 12 inches inside measure. The
pipe is scattered along from Broadway street
to the well-over half u mile. The tower IL
about ready to receive the tank, and II large
quantity of the tank iron has been received.
There Is a large amount of work yet to be
done. but the men engaged in the work think
they will be ready to supply us with water
by the first of November.
