Pausil was administered by the high
priest, to whom Mr.. Leadbeater stated
that his reasons for his joining himself

Buddha is that we should believe moth

Isaiah Henderson, a negro boy about
II years of age. and well known in po-
lice circles, was arrested Wednesday
night on a warrant charging him with
an attempt to commit rape on little
white girl, who is said to be only about
seven years old. Isaiah has been arrested
several times for various crimes, the last
offence being an attempt to rob the
money drawer of DIR. McDonald's gro
Gerry store, on upper Lemon street, for
which he served a sentence on the street.
He is now in Jail, and will be tried for
his heinous crime at the approaching
spring term of the circuit court. He is
making rapid strides in the direction of
the gallows, and as by common consent
he is about passed all redemption,
the sooner he gets there the better for all
concerned.

Tie Tenih.Street Lamp.LIghter.

To the Editor Of the Dtspdtch
In your issue Of Wednesday some
party denominatiDg himself "Resi-
dent" sees fit to make mention of my
alleged neglect of lamps on Tehth
street.
He begins by saying "mere boy "
q am midget Of twenty-five, five feet
seven and half inches, l60 pounds
weight lights the lamps on his street,
and is always behind time, never light
ing the lamps until O'Clock or later.
Our schedule calls for Lighting at s
O'Clock, and we are allowed one and
quarter hours for Lighting, and | most
positively assert that the lamps referred
to have never been lighted after time.
The so-called impudence consisted of
the refusal to turn out a lamp for the
convenience of parties sitting on aporch
who complained Of the light shining in
their eyes, who were told that any in
reference with the lamp would be re-
ported to the proper authorities.
Yours, etc., Ii. I. EZEKIEL.

CITY AND SUBURBAN.
now TO FILTER OUR WATER.


A Description Of tae HYATT rd;ers- How the
People Tan Have Clear water IN spite OF
the MuddF James
Recently the Hyatt Offering Com
pany made proposition to our Water
Committee to place filters in our water
mains, and Mr.. n. d. Hargroye, chair
man Of the committee, approved the
project, and the plan went to the
Finance Committee for consideration.
The filtering company agreed to SIX
months test free Of cost if satisfaction
was not given. The plan is as follows;
The filters will be placed on the line
Of the thirty-inch main between tne
pumps and main reservoir. There VIII
be three Of the filters, each thirty ieet
in diameter and sixteen feet high, and
TO give an idea Of their size, each inter
will contain about $500 bushels oil
filtering material, consisting oi tne
sand and coke screenings, the latter
being mixed with the sand to allow the
water to pass through the filters more
quickly. Each of these filters has a capa-
city Of 2, 500 gallons per minute, or three
and a half million gallons every twenty
four hours, making total for the three
filters of ten and a half million gallons
per day. which, as the city now uses
but seven and a half million gallons
each day, would allow three million
gallons for the future growth of the
city.
The filters are constructed with a
division in the centre, the top being an
open tank. Each day the filters are
washed. the process being as follows:
By shutting off the outlet valve to the
filter the pressure Of the water forces
the entire filtering bed, with all the i'm
purities that have been caught therein
during the day, into the top part or
tank of the filter, which lies full of
water. and the filter bed is thoroughly
washed as it is forced into this tank
through tubes, and the impurities are
all carried off by separate pipe from
the tank into a sewer connection.
After the bed is thoroughly cleansed,
by opening the valves in the division
in the centre Of the filter the cleansed
filtering material passes down into
position again. BY an ingenious ar
rangement of valves and parts the
whole process is accomplished in twenty
minutes, and requires but little intelli-
gence to operate, as the water-pressare
does all the work except the opening Of
two valves, ard in this way practically
none Of the fltering material is wasted.
The filters are very strongly built,
being constructed of boiler iron. and
should last lifetime with ordinary
care and attention.

Auditor. eniee Affairs.

Mr.. Moons committee to investigate
the affairs Of the Auditors Office met
in short session yesterday and ex-
amined Mr.. X. a. Noel, formerly chief
clerk in the office. The committee
meets again next Wednesday.
There is one county clerk who re-
fuses to appear before the committee
to testify. The committee have sent
him interrogatories TO answer, two cir
culars, several letters, and a summons
to appear before them, but he has
failed thus fer to reply to any of them.
A rule was also issued against him,
but he treated that just as he did the
others. The next move will be to
issue sn attachment for him.

TWO IN SUCCESSION.
The yirgirias Lose Their second came
With the SationnIs-score 10 1.

THe yirgirias Lose Their Second Game
With the Sationals-score @ TO 1.
The crowd at Virginia Park yester-
day afternoon to witness the second oil
the games between the Nationals and
the Virginias was one Of the largest OF
the season, numbering 1000 or more,
with many ladies'. After the rain OF
Tuesday night and yesterday morning
the weather was fine and pleasant and
the grounds were in fine condition.
The evening altogether was an admi-
rable one for bal-Playing, both for the
comfort Of the spectators and the
players.
After the defeat with which the home
team met Tuesday evening the crowd
was an anxious one, many holding and
even betting that the boys would not
suffer another victory to be scored for
their opponents. Others were equally
as sanguine that the visitors would
again be victorious, and these were
right. In the first inning both clubs
were blanked. In the second and third,
by two ugly errors by Nash, one by
Corcoran, and one by Latham, the yisi-
tors were allowed to score five runs,
when none should have been scored.
This alone gave them the game. The
home team succeeded in making their
only run-that one earncd-m the
second inning.
After this abOminable playing by the
home boys they braced up, and through
the remainder Of the contest played
well. With the exception of two wild
pitches by Gagus and a passed ball by
Fulmer, the visitors played a perfect
game. Moore made two beautiful cap
lures Of balls in left field, for which he
had to run a great distance. Powell
also did well in right field. The bate
ries for both clubs did good work, es-
pecially the pitchers. Nash caught
ball in one hand from Moore's bat, for
which he had TO jump up several feet.
He was loudly applauded. Bakers
work on first base was good. The ap-
pended score tells the rest:
