The Water Works Extension.
GEN. MEIGS BEFORE THE HOUSE APpRoPRIA

The District subcommittee OF the House ap-
prOpriations committee had q meeting to-day
to consider the water works extension. They
had Gen. Meigs before them. He expressed the
opinion that the manner OF doing the work in
the tunnel-the sort of lining, &c.-must be de-
cided by the engineer as the work progresses
and must be governed by the character of the
rock, &C., at the point where they are engaged.
Any sort of lining, as IL seemed most proper,
work.
Capt. Hoxie has been ordered to Washington
to go before the committee to explain his
theory, and they expect TO hear him very soon.

A MYSTERIOUS BLAZE AMONG THE RAFrRRs
AT ST. PETERS (CATHoLIC) SCHOOL.
About is o'clock this afternoon lire broke
out between the ceiling and roof OF St Peters
catholic school house, on E street between Sd
and 4th streets southeast. Josie Dobson, a 81 K
year-old giyl, who was playing in the yard next
the school, discovered the IRE and gave the
alarm. The school children started cry OF fire
and all rushed into the street. There
had been no fires in the building and
no clew could be obtained as to how the fire
started. Citizens in the neighborhood say that
there was q birds nest in the space where the
fire started, and that boys go there during the
night alter the birds and probably used
matches, the sparks from which, IL IL thought,
caused the fire to-day.

Rev. e. o. Murray, a minister of high
standing in the Methodist church, and
a member ofthe Black Hills Conference,
gave an entertainment at Booths hall
on Thursday evening to a large audience
for the benefit Of the M. Z. church of
this city. Sciopticon views embracing
the principle battles Of the rebellion.
prominent generals, camp scenes and
occasional comic views, were wildly
presented, the whole i~nterspersed with
war songs in which many Of the au-
dience joined, lending an additional
attraction to the entertainment. The
view representing the pictures most
appreciated by returning soldiers were
especially enjoyed, and the marked in
terest displayed by a gentleman present
whose attention was directly called tt
the view by some one at long range
fairly brought down the house by th'
palpable hit, which to the innitiatet
was simply paralyzing in its risibl'
effects. The entertainment possessed
rare merit, and was we'll received.
