n Water Haul.

The meeting at the Merchants Ex-
change yesterday afternoon to con-
slider of the water question was. il
would seem, practically water haul.
There was much discussion. II world
of wisdom and bushel of statistics
wasted on the desert air. President
White, Of the Merchants Exchange.
presided, and City Engineer Thatcher
was secretary. The fact was learned
that a force was to be put at work to
secure supply of clear drinking
water, especially during the fair.
After discussing several plans and the
cost thereof, the gist of the meeting
may be summed up in Mr. j. G..
O'Connors resolution requesting the
council to proceed in accordance with
the plan of Smith & Davis just rs fast
as possible, and to raise the money
necessary by borrowing on bonds to
be issued, and also to arrange. while
the work was in progress, as great
supply as possible from Browder
springs for general use. In the rcso-
luton the council is also assured the
support of the people. This resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted. Mr..
O'Connor also impaired the informa-
ton that there would be no difficulty
in getting the money. Before bonds
can be issued however. the charter
will have to be amended by the legis-
laturc.

Street Railway Injunction.

The hearing of the injunction case
of certain citizens against the extension
of the Commerce and Ervay street
railway through Swiss avenue drags
on its weary length before Judge AL
bridge. A great many witnesses with
documentary evidence have been ex-
amincd during the forenoon and when
the court adjourned at noon there
were still more witnesses to examine
and more petitions and protests to be
gone through. The court put the
onus of the proof as to whether ma
jority ..of the citizens owning prop
erty on the avenue were opposed to
the rord or not on the petitioners.
After all the evidence is in the lawyers
on each side will have speeches to make
and it is not probable the case will be
finished before or o'clock this af-
ternoon and perhaps not before to-
morrow.

have been sent to the potters' field at

in milking, and Mrs Search in the
house. The crime was committed
evidently for the purpose of rob
hing the farm house, where, it was
generally known, Mr.. 5. kept his
money. Suspicion points very
strongly to young fellow named
Moore, from Brooklyn, Iowa, who
had been a student in a school Of
telegraphy at Janesyille, but who a
short time ago secured employment
on nei hboring farm His sud
den departure from the place for un-

then rose 10 the surface aud under

all the while his companions thought
he was playing. lie finally came to
the surface again and tloated off to
where the water was shallow, face
down. The other boys called tu
him and receiving no reply ran off
greatly frightened. A young fellow
named Julian passed that way soon
after and, upon discovering the boy
in the water, notified some railroad

WAsHINGToN, March 12.-The session

MRS. HANCoCKs NEEDS.
Favorable Report of the Bnl Granting
Her n Pension.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-ln the
House to-day, Mr.. Swope, of Pennsylva-
mia, from the Committee on Invalid PEN
sions, reported the bill granting a PEN
sion OF $4,000 year to the widow Of
Gen. w. S. Hancock. 1t was put on the
private calendar.
The report which accompanies the bill
gives brief resume of the services rem
dered to the country by Gen. Hancock.
His death, it says, was a source OF uni
versal public grief as mis- life bad been a
public blessing. He has passed into his
tory without a challenge of mis- honor ana
success. Before the tribunal of Soldier
his career is already OF final record or
military successes he left abundant men,
ories. OF mis- magnanimity the Ameri-
cans he defeated in war are cheerful wit
nesses. HIS services were all that could
be demanded on patriotic endeavor and
devotion. AS a type of American patriot
ism Gen. Hancock will live in the history
OF his country and in the hearts of his
countrymen regardless of sectional or
party division.
BRAVE, TENDER AND TRUE.
Brave in war, tender and true In peace,
his sympathies and active benevolence
were TO the last days OF bis life freely and
almost laYishly expended in behalf OF his
sick and suffering comrades, their widows
and their orphans. Noappeal from them
ever fell upon his unlstening ear. The
very last effort of his life was the dicta-
ton Of letter, which he had not the
strength to sign, making a strong appeal
in behalf Of the widow OF deceased
officer. The nature OF the service in
which Gen. Hancock was engaged, the con-
stant dram upon his pecuniary resources
made necessary by the position he occu-
pied. and the farther tax upon his means
by his full-handed generosity to unfor-
tunate comrades has left his widow in
straitened circumstances, and to some
extent dependent upon private liherallty.
This a grateful country should not per-
init. Your committee, considering this
one Of the exceptional cases IN which IL
becomes their duty to recommend de-
parture from ordinary precedent and
policy, heartily and unanimously recon-
mend the passage Of the bill.
THE FUND.
NEW YORK, March 12.-The Hancock
fund was to-day increased $4,000, making
the total $40,636.
