WASHINGTON, September 9.-In the House
today Mr.. Haugen of Wisconsin called up
the Virginia election case of Langston
against Venable. Mr.. O'Ferrall of Virginia
raised the question of consideration. The
vote resulted-yeas, SO; nays, IA no quorum.
Mr.. Williams Of OHIO inquired whether
the stampede on the other side was caused
by the news from Maine. ILaughter.]
A call of the House was ordered and a
bare quorum disclosed on the call. The
question then returned upon the question of
Consideration, pending which Mr.. O'Ferrall
moved adjournment. The motion to ad-
journ was lost--yeas, 40; nays, SO. On the
question of consideration the quorum disap-
peared, the vote standing-yeas. 81; nays, Z.
Another call was ordered and no quorum APP
pearing Mr.. Haugen offered resolution

should remember that fund is being rails ed
with which to erect a monument to the
members Of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards, Eighteenth Georgia Battalion, C. S.
A.jwho died in defense of their country dur

position assigned to the Guards In the bat
tie Of Sailors Creek, Virginia, when the
sun of Lees hitherto victorious army was
about TO set, and "the warriors banner
takes its flight to greet the warriors soul,''
should go down TO posterity with that Of
the defenders Of Thermopyl9. No drawer
men ever died with their faces to their foes
than those of that small command of Sa-
vannah soldiers who fell on the eve or the
surrender OF the fragment of the army of
Northern Virginia. Their deeds, and those
of their comrades who fell on other fields,
are TO be perpetuated in marble, and every
one who was with them, in hand or in
heart, should contribute toward the patri-
otto movement that has been inaugurated
for that purpose.

PLENTY OF WATER BELOW.
Mr.. Johnston's Report of His jnvesti-
cations at the Water WORKS

Mr.. Johnston's Report of His jnvestl-
cations at the Water WORKS
T. T. Johnston, the expert hydraulic en-
gineer, has completed his examination of
the artesian wells and machinery at ths
water works. and yesterday afternoon CON-
pleted en- investigation Of the dsep artesian
well with view of determining first wheth-
er the supply at the deep well Is
greater proportionately than that Of the
wells at the water works, also to determine
what would be the increase for
every foot cut of the casing below the sur
face The well on the Springfield planta-
ton ceases to flow fourteen feet above the
surface. and as it has been estimated 10 flow
about $500, 900 gallons daily it Is thought
that its flow will be increased 10000 gal
Ions for every foot cut OFT the casing. Thu
exact increase will be figured out by Mr..
Johnston, and with other data connected
with the water works system, will be re-
ported to the city council at called meet
ing to be held to-day.
Mr.. Johnston brings very high recon-
mendations from the artesion water COM
pany of Memphis, where he was for two
years chief engineer in the construction OF
the extensive system Of water works which
he designed and the entire work OF which
he executed.
artesian wells flowing into tunnel which
concentrates the water from all the wells
into one stream, aud conveys 1t TO the
pumps, which are set in dry well forty
five feet in depth. The pumps are three in
number with capacity of 10000, 900 gal
Ions daily. About $4,000 was expended
in perfecting the Memphis plant
Mr.. Johnston says that tie pumps at the
water works are set too high. aud they are
being worked beyond their registered ca
pacity, two mistakes whica are liable at
any time to cause trouble. He could not be
expected to anticipate his report to the
city council, but it is understood that he
claims that the wells will increase their
flow about per cent. for every foot of cas-
ing cut off. This, as will be seen, in the
aggregate would be very large. As for in
stance, if 2, 100000 gallons are now taken
from the wells daily, to cut off a foot of the
casing of each well would add largely to the
present output of the wells, the supply being
increased over 1000, 900 gallons if three feet
of casing was cut off.
Mr.. Johnston will not recommend going
below low water mark with a conduit. He
says that two things can be safely said, and
they are, first that the present supply Of
water is not equal to the demand, and
second that the pumping capacity of the
pumps now in use is not adequate for the
work which is now being required Of them.
he thinks that there is ample water bearing
strata underlying this section to fully supply
all demands, but that plan must be de
viSed to utilize il.
