Mr.. CerdweIl.
Hon. r Fl. Cardwell. of Hanover. being
asked yesterday if he would be a candidate
for the congressional domination. replied:
IF, in the wisdom of the Democratic
voters of this district, should he desig
mated as the most available person TO
bear the standard of the party In TINS
approaching election. L would esteem II
as very great honor and would accept
tire nomination with the firm determina-
ton to leave no stone unturned 10
achieve TIE success so much desired by
US all. With regard to the manner IN
which tho nomination shall be made, de,
sire above all the welfare of the party. and
any plan that will express fairly and fully
the wishes of the Democratic voters OF the
Third congressional district Will be entire
IL satisfactory to me, or # by any mode
that the party authorities can devise
a convention could be constituted of
men unpledged except to consider
the situation with all of the sur
roundings and TO nominate the candi-
date best calculated TO lead us to victory;
no ono could be other than fully satlsted
with their action, whoever NAV be selected.
If the party authorities are not fully salts
fed as to what il best TO be done in this
respect let them take time to consider.
The convention can be held a little later
lust as well. A short and active canvass,
in my opinion, is the best"

eREE-BRlOGE IMPROVEMENT.
A New Floor to BE Laid AMI the Iron
Work Repaired.

The Free bridge is TO have new floor
laid in few weeks. and the old iron-work
will be inspected and repaired in such
manner az may be found necessary.
The commissioners were To have held
meeting at the Merchants Bank last eve
uing at 6 o'clock to take some action with
reference TO having this work done: but
there was one more needed to make a
quorum.
Those present, however, had an ,nforma!
talk and it was decided that the Committee
on Maintenance and Repairs, of which Mr..
Il. p. Campbell is chairman, should ad-
vertise for 100000 feet of three-inch
white-oak lumber, to be used IN re-
flooring the bridge. Sealed proposals
will be received up to August lst, and the
committee will also have the iron work,
oil except the hve new spans just built,
thoroughly inspected and properly repair
ed and strengthened, SO that it will last
until Richmond aud Manchester are able
to appropriate sufficient money to replace
the old iron with new Of O more modern
style and stronger. Then vehicles can
trot over the entire structure, as they now
do near the Manchester end.

HEALTHY DRINK.
Citizens OF Richmond have had fifty
years experience with James-rlver water.
and know that it is healthy drink. In adj
dition we are 70 be congratulated that II
has been thoroughly examined by suchable
chemists, and that such q complets and
favorable analysis has been furnished.
In the event of an epidemic OF fever or
bowel-complaint we have now a normal
standard by which to compare the charac-
ter of the water. Should the water be at
fault the simple act of boiling 1t before
use, or the addition of grain of perman-
eanate of potash. or any one OF dozen
plans that can be mentioned, Will DO enec-
tual in depriving 1t of all no1ious qualities.
But we have little fear of harm from this
source.
SO much for James-river water in its re-
lation to the health of the community.
wATER-woRKs AND WASTE.
The city of Richmond has an admirable
water supply in his source, quality, and
abundance. Its pump-house and ma
chinery for pumping are model Tor
besuty. simplicity, and efficiency. its $40,
rage and distribution have been well
planned and under its present Intelligent
and skilful management the works are In
most successful and economical operation.
The capacity OF our water plant Is sufncient
for the supply of city with twice our
population Nevertheless, the machinery
for pumping water IL taxed severely. for
II. 900 900 gallons are daily drawn from Their
servoir. This means $50 gallons to each citi-
zen. In 1873 the citizens needed and got only
A gallons day. In 1876. after the CON-
pletion Of the New reservoir. the amount
was increased to " gallons o day ;
now il is increased to $50 gallons day.
Does the citizen need or use any more
water now than he did in 1873? No. Then
what becomes Of two thirds Of the water
that is drawn from the reservoir? Look Of
the streams that come from mouths OF the
sewers and It will be seen at once tbs:
two-thirds Of the water pumped from the
river is wasted. hthis waste 10 not stopped
II will soon be necessary TO enlarge the
pumping power at an expense OF 920o, ,00o

Installation.

The public installation of officers
of Thunder Bay Chapter No. "a, r
A. M, took place at the masonic
temple Friday night last, and wa:
witnessed by about $50 masons and
their lady friends. The event was a
very interesting one. Music and sing.
ing were furnished by Mrs. Depew
Miss Small, Miss Potter, and Messrs
Depew, Comfort, Golling, Warren and
Crissman. The ceremonies commenced
with prayer by Rev. Reed, followed
by song by the quartet. Then came
the installation ceremonies which were
impressively rendered, Judge Kelley
acting as installing officer. When the
officers had been duly installed, vocal
selections were rendered by j. G.
Comfort and Mr.. and Mrs. Depew,
the former rendering the Gallants of
England, and the latter GODDESS of
Love. Rev. Van Auken and Rev.
Reed were called upon for addresses
and responded with short speechs
full of good points and remarks in
regard to work of masons, showing
that masonry did not conflict with
christianity, but rather that its teach
ings and doctrines aimed to make a
man better christian, more sincere
friend, nobler citizen, defender of
virtue, and it tended to broaden his
charitable inclinations, making him
the less inclined to selfshness, and
more inclined to exercise feelings of
brotherly love and benevolence. The
divine word of god was the founda-
ton stone of all masonic temples, and
no lodge was ever opened without the
use of the holy bible.
After the remarks were over, a song
by the quartet was sung, and then
banquet was served. Tables had al
ready been set in the dining hall
and Gin a few moments the broth
ers had removed the seats from the
masonic room and substituted in place
thereof many tables and loaded them
with dishes and eatables. The guests
were then invited to partake of the
repast. Over one hundred were seat
ed at one time, while members of the
lodges served as walters.
After supper had been partaken of
a solo was sung by Miss Small, and
duet was rendered by Messrs. Golling
and Depew. The socialities of the
evening were kept up until about
twelve o'clock.
The event was an interesting one,
and it is hoped that the ladies who
were present enjoyed themselves and
were pleasantly entertained. To do
so was the earnest wish and desire of
the fraternity who did everything in
their power in order that the lady
guests might en- Joy their visit.
