The Esston Express says that people
owning bank stock have especial interest
in the assessment of half million dollars,
by the Controller of the Currency, upon
the shareholders of the wrecked Keystone
Bank, 10 Philadelphia, TO replace the
money stolen by Marsh, Bardsley and
other rascals. People are SO accustomed
to receive dividends on their bank stock
that the payment OF an assessment Is an
unpleasant surprise. But those who share
banks profits must also share its losses.
Hereafter the stockholders OF bank stock
will likely have more care to elect direc-
tors who direct.

Our Water Works.

Our Water Works.
The work of enlarging the upper rescr-
voir of our Water Works is about COM
pleted. Nine Thousand seven hundred
cubic yards Of earth have been removed,
at cost of $4,000. By this improvement,
the capacity of the reservoir has been in
creased about one-third. II is not likely
that for years to come, there will be dan
ger of shortage of water, even In unusu-
ally dry seasons. The quality of the wa
ter will also be improved by this enlarge
rnent as the deepening of the body OF wa
ter will cause 1t to heat less and be more
free FIR m the formation of fungoid
growths on its surface.
1t Is the intention of Superintendent
Coryell, under whose direction these i'm
provements have been made, to have the
earth smoothly graded around the entire
circle of the reservoir and seeded with
grass.
The water In the lower reservoir is very
low, owing to the letting out of the upper
one to make the improvements above no.
ted. So low had 1t become, few days
ago, that 1t became necessary for the Wa
ter Company to purchase large steam
pump and connect 1t with the steam boiler
at the stone breaker foot of Swan street.
Pumping began about midnight last Mon
day, and in niue hours, the water in the
dam had been raised 81 inches. This is
pretty good work when the water in
the reservoir offers resistance OF sew
enty pounds to the pump. II our people
will be careful in the use OF water for
few days, IT is likely that the pump will
be able to keep up supply.

Depletion of Oyster Beds.

Tn, United States Fish Commission steamer
Fish Hawk has b,en overhauled for the summer
work, and left tho Washington navy yard to-day
with Lieut. Robt Platt comm andiug. The deple
ton Of tho oyster beds and the general condition
Of that industry have led the authorities to devote
the most Of this summer to that subject For sew
eral years this important branch Of inquiry, par
ticularly in Long Island Sound, the Chesapeake
and North Carolina waters, has received atten-
ton at the hands OF tho authorities. Daring the
administration OF the late Prof Baird efforts were
made TO bring before the public the fact that these
great oyster beds were in danger of determination,
bat the recommendations made at that time were
unheeded. Dredging has been Kept up until it is
almost too late row to repair the damage that has
b,en done. Col. Mcdonald, the Commissioner of
Fish sud Fisheries i, deeply interested in til,
important matter that he took passage IN the
Fisk H.wk and will direct the seasons work per-
% ally. The trouble in the Chesapeake Is due to
enc indiscriminste harvesting OF the oyster, bat
in Long Island go Ind the cause OF the eIteImina-
ton is quite different. There it is due to the
pres nee of N yriads OF staliish
