TO DAM THE WATER.

The Specifications for Repairing the
Government Works Above the CitS
1.-The Amount Asked for, and how Al
VIII be constructed.
Senator Cullom introduced bill for the
immediate replacing. either of a tempor'
airy OF permanent dam. to take the place
of the one below Moline swept out by
the food two weeks ago yesterday. The
plans and specifications furnished by
Gen. Benet, chief of ordnance, call for
an entirely new structure for the whole
distance of seven hundred feet covered
by the destroyed dam. 1t is to be built
of Ohio sandstone at an estimated cost
Of $3.50, 900, and Gen. Benet says il
Senator Cullom's bill passes it will be
completed by the time cold weather sets
in.
1t is believed, says an exchange, that
one cause of weakness in the old dam
was that there was work done upon it in
cold weather in December when salt had
TO be used in the mixing of the cement.
Another examination as to the extent of
the depth of the removal of 450 feet of
the old dam has been made--and the pre-
vious belief is fully confrmed-not only
the substructure, but the foundation has
entirely removed Some of the great
blocks OF stone in the wall were deposits
ed distance of two hundred feet from
the wall, so resistcss was the force of the
flood-and the immense turbine wheels
we're swept out of place as if they had
been made of wood.
1t has been asked if the raising of the
gates could not have sayed the dam by
lessening the pressure above it. 1t is
the opinion of hydraulic engineers that if
the gates had been raised the dam would
have gone out sooner than it did, because
of the mighty power of the draft between
columns. For, there is no doubt now
that the foundation of the dam had been
undermined, and the water was passing
freely beneath it before the upper part
gave way.
The government is DESTROYS of build
ing the dam rs soon rs possible. for the
Moline manufactures that use the water
power are deprived of it. and will be
until the destroyed dam is replaced. All
are relying upon steam. There is no
doubt whatever that Moline manufac-
turers who have been hindered and de>
layed by the destruction of the dam will
ask the government for compensation.
They say the destruction of the dam was
the result of faulty construction.
The dam stood severer test in June, |
1880, than the one before which 1t fell !
two weeks ago, for the water then was
several inches higher than it was when
the wall was pushed out. The destruction |
of the dam shows what time and water
have done to it in the seven years which
have elapsed

Peter Francisco, a giant in size, and with
the courage and strength of Richard the
Lion Hearted. In short encounter in that
bloody corner of the field, when Washington
Joined the First Maryland in its attack upon
Col. Webster's guards, he slew, with his own
hand, eleven men. His sword was over four
feet in length, and so heavy that not another
man in the army could WELD it. One of the
guards, despite Francisco's parrying, ran
his bayonet into the latter's thigh, piercing
him to his horse Francisco forbore to strike,
but assisted him to extricate his bayonet As
the soldier turned and fed Francisco made
q furious stroke with his mighty blade and
cleft the guardman's head to his shoulders
The force of the blow, added to the soldiers
speed, sept him on a number of steps, with
his cleft head banging upon each shoulder
before he fell There were many witnesses
of this occurrence. Raleigh Letter
