Bad Water.

On two occasions the TINES ha,
= called attention to the subject of
Impure water for stock and mich
COWS. Since doing so we have sub
anitted our thoughts to physicians
who had given some attention to
this subject, and they remarked,
'athat there was no subject that
needed attention more than the
ONE of pure water for man and
beast" That the water of every
we'll and spring should be analysed,
especially in the seaons of drouth,
so that it may be ascertained if the
source from whence the water
.comes is such as will give healthful
drink. Not only should these pre-
cautions be used in the use of water
flor drinking from wells and springs,
but even great care should be taken
lin water gathered into cisterns,
which, if gathered and preserved
fright, is the most healthful of any
water used. But if such great care
is necessary for men, women and
children in the water they drink,
what will be the result of the drink
ling filthy pond water by milch cows,
sbeefeGtt'e and hogs, upon which the
whole family lives, in the way of
milk, butter, cheese and meat, all
of which are more or less poisoned
by the use of pond water filed with
millions Of spores which produce
typhoid fever, fluX, diphtheria, yell
low fever and cholera. If pond
water is to be used by stock, all pre-
cautions should be taken to make
the gathering fthe same pure and
clear. The drainage from barn
yards and other places where filth
,accumulates should be turned into
-sluice-ways that lead away from
the one used by the stock. These
ponds should be enclosed so that
neither horse, COW, or hog could APP
proach them to make deposits of
filth. The water to be used by
"them should be carried under
ground into Il trough to the lower
side of the pond where all stock
-sheuld drink, one place for horses
and cattle and another for the
hogs. The waste water should
be conveyed away in an un.
e. dergrOund drain, so that all
Impurities would be avoided. You
say this will cost something in
labor, in money, or both. Yes, il
80 will; but it will be valuable when
it is done right. Besides, did you
ever count the cost of sickness, in
dollars, in buying medicines and
going after the doctor and paying
his bills, saying nothing of suffering
ami the loss of dear friends by
= death?

REPRESENTATIVE RANDALI.S PLAN.
At the meeting of the committee on appropri-
ations to-day, Mr.. Randall presented a sCbsti-
tute for that part of the naval bill which pro-
Vides for an increase of the navy. The substitute
provides for commission to select plans for

Secretary OF the Navy. They shall meet in this
city and send circulars to all the eX-SecretarieS
OF the Navy. officers (active and retiredl of the
line and Sta1f, and to prominent Ship-buiderS,
marine and naval architects, engineers and
Others interested in such matters for the pur-
pose of getting advice and suggestions for new
vessels for the navy. After considering all the
suggestions and advice thus collected, they
shall determine the general classes and charac-
ter of vessels to be constructed, and cause eX-
tensve notice to be given, calling on marine
skilled in naval ship-building for competitive
designs for such types of vessels rs in the opin-
ion OF the board should be first constructed
The board shall determine the relative merits
OF the various designs and exhibits present.

each of the classes of vessels and for such merto-
rious exhibits of parts of the same as may be
deemed worthy OF adoption for the service For
the best of each class the award shall be $50 OOO
for the second best, SIS. 900, and for the third
best, $1,000. 1t is further provided that the
board shall report their action to the President

Men Who Get Their ssLittIe Bills,
Through.

A HINT TO CONGRESSMEN.
"See there" said a Representative to STAR
reporter, when Mr.. Brainard got his bill through
the House on unanimous consent yesterday ap-
propriating S15O,OOO to complete the court
house at Erie, Pa. "Thats the result of q close
mouth. The only men who get bills through
are those who say but little. 1 never knew
man to get great to do over q bill, and have
lot to say about its merits but Holman or
some other obJector, put a stop to it. Here this
man is always busy at his desk or in commit
tee, and seldom takes any part in discussions
that are agitating the House every day, yet he
is said to have passed more little bills for the in
terest of his locality than any other man IN
Congress this session. Nearly all the bills of
a local character that get through are passed by
quiet men. have been watching the thing,
and 1t is curious fact that the men whose
names always appear in the Record find oppo-
sition to nearly everything they attempt to
pass. You may see, after a while, that all the
members win stop talking and go to work on
their little bills. II they learn that this IS the
way to get them through, we'll have Quaker
Congress. Then the calendars could be cleared
in q session."

MR.. HENDRICKS ALLEGED HOSTILITY 10 THE
EX-SENATOR CAUSING A STIR.
The Mcdonald men are excited over the re-
peated declarations that Hendricks is working
to defeat the ex-senator for a cabinet position.
Senator Beck is said to be circulating q paper,
which has already been signed by twenty de-
mocratic Senators, urging the President-elect to
put Mr.. Mcdonald in his cabinet. This will be
followed up by another visit to Cleveland by
the Indiana delegation, headed by Senator Voor-
hees. The Indiana men on the quiet speak very
bitterly of Mr.. Hendricks alleged antagonism
to Mcdonald.
A member-elect, who had a consultation with
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Tilden at Greystone, is
authority for the statement that it has been
positively settled that Senators Bayard and
Garland are to go into the cabinet; that Lamar
is hesitating about accepting position, but
win doubtless go into the cabinet and that 1t Is
quite likely, though not settled, that Mcdonald
win get the Treasury portfolio.

PHILADELPHIA, February 13.-The fire OF
last night at the almshouse entirely destroyed
that portion of the institution set apart for the
insane. OF the 6S4 inmates confined there
many are missing. but il is thought most of
them have wandered away. At nine O'Clock
thls morning two more charred bodies were
found in ward No. 2. They had been roasted
beyond all recognition. Several human forms
can be seen in the burning wreck in the cellar
II is now thought that 2S of the inmates per-
,lshed: That number OF violent patients were
locked in cells on the third floor, and could not
pe reached. Eight of them have been taken
out dead, and the Others have not been ac-
counted Tor. There seems no doubt that they
are lost, and that their remains are among the
ruins. During the night many insane persons
Were were found wandering i'm different parts Of the
CITY, some OF them nearly naked.

begged their captorS piteously not to throw

Gen. Swaim's Second Trial.

SUMSIARf OF THE OPENING TESTIMONY.
The witnesses examined by the Swain court
martial yesterday afternoon were George A.
Batchelder, the quartermaster's clerk, who re-
ceived the acquisitions of Gen. Swain for forage
and wrote the orders on Il. c. Hewitt, the con-
tractor, for its delivery; Luther E. Burket,
Hewitt'S manager, who ordered the forage de-
llvered; Sidney Despard, Hewitt's driver who
delivered the forage at the Castle Stewart stables
anu obtained receipts; VIM. Duncan and Frank
Contee, employees of A. f. Bateman, who re-
celVed the forage at the Castle Stewart stables:
Dr. Borden, U. S. A., and DR.. Boyce, who signed
the receipts for Contee (as the latter could not
Wrlte); Henry EdmOnSon; Gen. SwaimS coach
man, who testified that Gen. Swain did not
own any horses In 1888 until he bought two in
May; and Sam Anderson, stableman of Bate
man s, who received forage from Hewitt after
Bateman took his one horse to No. 174O Massa-
chusetts avenue, where forage was received for
one horse in May, 1883.
THE TRIAL SUSPENDED UNTIL TOMORROW
When the court met this morning it met in
secret session, and the announcement was made
that further proceedings in the case which was
On trial yesterday were postponed until to-mor-
row. 1he circumstances attending the post
pOnement of this case have given rise to the
conjecture that the business with which the
court Is occupied in secret session is the recon-
S1deration Of its findings in either the original
Swain case or the Morrow case. The impress
sion prevails that one the other of these cases
has been referred back to the court by the
President upon the recommendation Of the
Official who reviewed the record OF the case.
