WATER SUPPLY.
Extending the Galleries at the Old
City Dam.
Some Damage Done to the Plant by
the Late Flood.
Everything Will Again Be in Ship
Shape in a Few Days.

The work on the dam at the source of
the city water supply on Crow creek is
completed and the gallery damaged by the
late food will be repaired in a few days.
SO the annoyance created by the muddy
condition of the city water will be ended.
One ofthe galleries was uncovered to per-
NIT the laying OF the south end OF the
dam aud was damaged by Crow creek
overlooking and twisting it out OF shape.
The new dam is made OF concrete laid
on the bed rock. and extending clear
across the valley. 1t is designed to stop
the entire underground flow of water.
The galleries are laid on the bed rock from
one side OF the valley to the other, and
are built of plank. placed a quarter of an
inch apart to permit the water to seep
into them. Above the gallery is a layer
of broken sandstone, to form a firm
foundation for the gravel and sand above.
which acts as a filter. Another gallery,
which empties into the one extending
across the valley is laid beneath the creek
bottom aud follows the winding of the
creek for l,200 feet. The water as it
settles is filtered through the gravel and
broken sandstone AM comes to the city
as clear and pure as spring water.
A new gallery is to be laid connecting
with the others, which will make the gal
leries 10 the shape of a three-sided square,
and will be able to hold all the water
seepipg down the stream. The city owns
an eighty acre tract of land, where the
system commences and when the new gal
lery is completed will have an abundant
supply of water. There are a number of
springs just above the land, which flow
the year around and then water will be
stored for use. If in dry weather the
water supply in the creek is diminished
the water now pouring into the lakes can
be turned back into the creek to 90
through the filters when it will hen be fit
for use.
At this time of the year there Is proba-
bly, $4,000, 900 gallons of water passing
down Grow creek and going to waste, 1t
is an ambition of the city government to
be able, some time, to build a dam across
the valley and hold all the water. coming
down in the spring. in a big lake which
will extend three or four miles up the
valley.
The same system OF fltering could be
followed out then that is in use now. A
network of galleries would be laid beneath
the bottom of the lake and the supply of
water would be sufficient for a city of
1900 0 inhabitants.
The dam for such a large body of water
would have to be of masonry and would
cost a %trile. without counting the pur-
chasing OF the land that would be covered
by the lake.
AT present, however, the supply of
water is ample Tor city use and will, as
soon as the repairs are made, be as clear
as ever.

CITY council. The Durants were not pres
ent. The equipments and apparatus of
the other companies were found to be in
excellent condition.
EVENING SERVICES.
Memorial services were held last even
ing at the Presbyterian church under the
auspices OF Reynolds Post and the Ladies
Relief Corps.
J. K. Jeffrey presided and made a short
speech of welcome to those in attendance.
The object Of the G.. A. R., he said, was
not to keep alive sectional strife. Today
the graves Of the c~onfederates and
federals had alike beer decorated aud the
G. A. R. remembered the famous words
of Grant: Let us have peace"
Judge Davidson had been selected to
act as the speaker of the evening but,
owing to the bereavement in his family
was not present, and MI. Jeffrey intro
duced Judge Conaway who made a short
speech. He thought the deeds of valor
aud the patriotism of the old soldiers
would never be forgotten. Even when all
who fought on either side IN the great
conflict shall have passed away Their
monuments will be erected in the
memories of the rising generations and
they will never be forgotten.
Judge Scott was then introduced. Hi
recolle ctions of the war of the rebellion
are those of childhood, but he distinctly
remembered the hopes aud fears of those
who had friends engaged in the battles.
The most worthy point about the old sol,
diers was the way in which they laid down
their arms after the war was over. AL
sorts of direful things were feared atter
the war from turnlng so large a body OF
soldiers loose over the country. At the
grand review held at Washington after
the close of the war. Gen. Sherman issued
an address to his soldiers in which he used
these words: LAS in war you made good
soldiers. SO IN peace. YOU general be.
lieves, you will make good citizens" So
he said, was the result, soldiers scattered
all over the country aud took up where
they left off their peaceful vocations.
Short addresses we're also made by N.
j. 0'Brien, W. P. Carroll and P. Cad
Bryan. Music under the direction OF
Prof. Pssmore interspersed the speaking.
The memorial meeting closed the exer-
cises of the day,

Since the passage of the McKin-
ley bill the tin plate manufacturing
industry has been steadily extending
itself. Latest advices state that the
new industry has now reached pro-
portions where the manufacturers
have determined to unite in order to
more rapidly reach point where
they will be able to supply the Amer
lean market. An organization for
this purpose was effected in New
York about two weeks ago. After
conference, the firms interested We're
able to state that as soon as a few
more mills can be erected, upon
which work is to be pushed, the
manufacturers of tin plate in the
United States will be able to pro-
duce 60,000 tons year.

The fro quency with which leading
divines of different denominations
are falling away from the letter of
their creeds has again been illustrat-
ed. This time the case is that of
Rev. DR.. Briggs, professor of theo-
logy at. the Union Theological Semin-
airy (Presbyterian) of New York.
This case is almost an exact parallel
of that of the Rev. Howard Mac
Queary, and recalls to mind those of
Rev. Drs. Newton and Rainsford
and several minor cases. The pecu-
liarity which makes DR.. Briggs case
noticeable is that the charge of her
esy, which has been brought against
him, has been turned into an engine of
persecution by his reverend brothers.
These disputes, so frequently arising
in the last few years, are most I'M
fortunate. Each of them has so far
resulted in placing the incorrigible
divine before the public as martyr
to intellectual liberty. Dr. Briggs
alleged heresy was committed in his
inaugural address delivered when he
accepted the chair of theology in
the Seminary. 1t is limited that DR..
Briggs will likely take the ground, in
his defense, that the Presbytery
should reverify its creed first, and
discipline its divines afterwards.

recalled to Washington. The reason
of Mr.. Blair's recall is alleged to be
because the Chinese Government
formally objected to his appoint
ment, probably on the ground that
Mr.. Blair has been for years an OPP
ponent, in the United States Con-
gress, to Chinese immigration.
1t is quite likely Mr.. Blair will be
sent to Japan. In reality it makes
but little difference what man is sent
to China as Minister, as far as the
question of Chinese immigration is
concerned. This point has been al
ready virtually settled in politics
upon the demand of the people OF
the Pacific Coast, and any influence
the Chinese Government might bring
to bear through any United States
Minister would hardly serve TO mo-
dify the position Congress has al
ready taken on the Chinese question.
The fact is, that neither of the great
political parties in the United States
would dare advocate Chinese immi-
grafton with any hopes of party sue
cess. Congress will reflect this
general political view. 1t therefore
makes little difference whether the
United States is represented at the
Court of the Fowery Empire by an
anti or prof. Chinese Minister.

Captain Eads' plan of placing jet
ties at the delta of the Mississippi
river, to deepen the channel, has
been condemned by Mr.. Jacques
Roadway, who has lately issued a
pamphlet on the subject. Mr.. Red
way recommends that the plan of
storage reservoirs, now in process of
construction at the head of that great
river, be so extended as to take up
50, 572, 000,00 cubic feet of water.
This plan, it is alleged, would not
only prevent freshets, but could be
used so as TO prevent the low-water
period, which generally lasts about
three months each year.
