a Vigorous Contest to Save Frazier's
Neck from the Halter.
Peter Frazier tcoloredl charged with the
murder of James Smith tcolored) was con-
victed Of manslaughter in the superior
court last night The court deferred SEN
tence. The case took up the entire session
Of the court yesterday, and the jury, which
retired at 5 80 o'clock, was out until late
hour before agreeing upon verdict The
case was vigorously contested, Messrs.
Rockwell and Schlev defending Frazier.
The state elected to try Frazier first, Sandy
Green tcolored) having been indicted
jointly as principal in the second degree.
The defense first sought to have the case
continued, and interposed motion to con-
tinue on account of the absence of one ohm
Murken, material witness for defendant,
claiming that it was expected to prove by
him tcat Frazier was in Murken's store
Immediately before the shooting, and
tnat from the time he left to the
time of the shooting was not long
enough for him to have reached the scene
OF the shooting, and that there was no
other witness by whom the above facts
could be proved. Appended was a certifi-
cate from DIR. George c. Hummell that
Murken's illness from bilious fever at his
home on the Thunderbolt road disabled him
from leaving his home
The state submitted an affidavit from
Murken which defeated the motion. In
fact, it was a boomerang to the defense,
which went on to say that he knew nothing
OF the facts concerning the shooting OF
Smith; that lie did not know whether or
not on the night of the shooting Frazier
was in his store; that he had no recollection
of hearing certain shots fred on the night
Smith Yves shot, nor did he remember that
Frazier came into his store that night at all.
The motion for continuance being denied
counsel for Frazier demurred to the indict-
ment on the ground that it did not allege
the day upon which James Smith, who was
alleged to have been murdered by defend
ant, died. The demurrer having been over
ruled, the case went e. trial in the indict-
ment with the RESULT as ahnya statad

CHANGES IN THE WATER WORKS.
The Water to be Pumped from the
Wells Into d supply Reservoir.

The Water to be Pumped from the
Wells Into supply Reservoir.
There is no doubt in the minds of Alder
man Myers, acting chairman of the water
committee, and Supt. Manning that there
is a productive stratum of water bearing
rock at depth of from 900 to 1000 feet
below the surface, to be reached by the
artesian wells. Both of these gentlemen
expressed their confidence in such forma-
ton to MORNING NEWS reporter yester-
day.
Supt. Manning said that the deep artesian
well flowed at the rate of less than ], 500, 900
gallons daily at the 400-fo0t depth, and be-
tween 900 and 1000 feet another stratum
was penetrated which increased the flow 50
that $500, 900 gallons or more began to flow
daily, and that flow is still maintained.
The work Of deepening the wells at the
water works will shortly begin. Contractor
Joyce will do the work. The experiment
will first be tried on ten-inch we'll, and it
is expected that a daily flow of 2,000,00
gallons will be obtained.
Alderman Myers informed a MORNING
NEWS reporter yesterday that it is proposed
to construct a reservoir on the water works
grounds to be fed by the natural flow of
the artesian wells. and the city's water
supply will thereafter be pumped directly
lFOLn INC TeSeTNOlr llUO Ln0 Itkaluss anu uOU
from the wells, as is now done.
Supt. Manning, who has strongly recon-
mended this improvement, says that by
this system the pumping of gas will be
obviated and sand will no longer be pumped.
He SAYS that with the reservoir the depart
ment can approximate with greater accu-
racy what is the capacity of the wells aud
what volume of water is supplied to the CITY,
Alderman Myers expressed the opinion
that the reservoir. as a temporary expe-
dent, will be great improvement over the
present system, but he added that the ne
cessity of another plant is admitted, and
the city must prepare to establish the plant
at as early date as possible, to meet the in
creasing dsmauds in the southern section.
The drilling in the deep artersian well will
be continued for two or three
weeks longer, and while it
may be temporarily suspended to
prosecute the work of deepening the wells
at the water works, the drilling will again
be resumed, as it is believed that, having
gone so deep, the exploration should con-
tinue until it has been determined whether
or not other water bearing strata underlie
tue clay in which the drill is now working.

CLOSE ON TO S2O,OOO,OOO.
THE CITY ASSESSORS TO FINISH
THEIR WORK TO-DAY.

The Real Estate Valuation Expected
to Go over s1e,ooo.ooo, Exclusive
of the Ground Rent Property-A
Test Case Agreed Upon With View
to an Early Settlement OF the Ground
Rent Questionable Matter 70 be
Taken Into the Courts at Once and
a Decision Expected in March.
1t is thought that the city assessors of real
estate and improved property will finish up
their work by tonight, and already there
is much speculation as to what the total
valuation will foot up A well posted al
derman says that he expects it to reach
Sl9,0Oo.0OO exclusive Of the ground rent
lots, which, with the personal tax returns
at sl2, 000, 900, will swell the value Of prop
erty subject to direct taxation to s31 900, 900.
The alderman was asked if with this
showing it will not be possible to fix the
rate of taxation at less than ~ per cent. +,
and he replied that he did not think it posi-
BILE that less rate than ~ per cent. can be
fixed il it should be decided that uniform
rate per cent must be put upon all classes
OF property.
1t is understood that test case is to be
pushed through to the supreme court for
the purpose OF having the mater finally de-
ternined before the latter part of March,
and upon the basis of which decision the
rate per cent, viii be fixed by council.
1t has been learned that Joseph D. Weed,
for the purpose of aiding in the solution of
the vexed problem, has, by an understand
ing with council, declined topay the rs per
cent. taxation levied upon piece of real
estate, based up N the ground that the last
tax ordinance is Illegal in that the rate per
cent. was not uniformly laid, and upon the
levy of an execution waivers of time will
enable the superior court to pass upon it,
and the case will go at once on appeal to
the supreme court with view of getting
its decision in time to have the rate fixed in
March by council.
The matter has been purposely kept quiet,
so that the greater part of the last quarter
Of the taxes of 1889 could be called Ia, that
in the event the ordinance Is held to be
illegal the city Will have collected the bulk
of the taxes, and may not be further en-
barrassed.
