A PRETTY GOOD RIVER.

The Water gets up to "a Feet Inches and
Hnngs there Awhile-LOw Grounds Wet.
The river did quite as well as anybody
expected. 1t got up to a thirty.three
and half foot stage about midnight
Saturday, and after remaining stationary
at that height awhile, began to fall slow.
~. Last night it had only gone down q
little over three feet, and the fall will
probably be slow. Only the cold snap
prevented serious hJod. AS it was, a
little inconvenience resulted.
The weather Saturday and yesterday
fortunately remained cold, never getting
above the freezing point. This checked
the accessionB Of water and let the river
reCede, 80 that 1t would now take good
deal of thawing weather and rain to
make q food. There remains plenty Of
snow 70 cause disastrous rise were II 10
go off suddenly.
The water was over low.lying grounds
on the Island and on the South Side. At
Twenty-seyenth and Market streets the
water backed up the CaldW sn's run
channel and stood about five inches
deep on thu street. The electric cars
ran through 1t all evening and as a re.
suit several Of them were found yester-
day morning to be burnt out. The
water was of the street there yesterday,
leaving a bridge Of ice.
The gardens on North Front street
were overlooked, as usual, but this does
no harm except depositiug Troublesome
drift on some lots The back river came
up through ravine north of the State
Fair ground and up through the fields,
forming a little pond across Vermont
street at It'd lowest point.
A considerable part OF the State Fair
grounds was submerged by water which
came up through the sewers. This was
frozen over yesterday. The water was
about foot deep in the stables, where
several horses we're kept, and Mr.. An
drew Hamilton, who was interested in
several OF them, was told that the riveI
was falling Saturday night, and did not
90 over till yesterday morning to look
after them. He was then surprised Il
find the horses had been standing in the
water good part OF the night. A few
horses were taken out Saturday night.
Somebody placed an American flag or
one Of the large stones lying on the
partly completed channel pier OF the new
bridge 10 the Island. The water got
over the pier, and up to that stone, but
when the water went down, the hat
was still there.
Thirty.fye fee! Of water would have
done serious damage. As it was few
cellars were invaded.
When the marks on the wharf showed
80 feet & inChes, those on the suspension
bridge west abutment showed only 8.
feet o inCheg. It is bard to tell which il
more nearly correct, but those on the
bridge are from more recent survey.

Alta special meeting held on satur-
day OF the stockholders Of the Central
Glass Works proposition was laid be-
fore those present that the company
take charge Of the American Flint
Glass Works at Anderson, Ind, and run
it either alone or in connection with the
company's factory here. The American
works recently closed on account oil
financial difficulties. The works are
said TO be substantial, complete and con"
venieDtly arranged, and one OF the items
Of the property which would be Of great
value to the Central company is a pro-
ductive gas well, the property OF the
company.
There was very full discussion ofthe
situation. Some stockholders favored
abandoning the works here and board
ing them up, and going to Anderson
0theIs thought it would be wise to con
tinue to operate the plant here, in part
at least. Finally this matter was leiI
undecided, aud a'committee OF FIVE lead
log stockholders was appointed to 90 x
Anderson and inspect the American
plant, and ASCERTAIN what the authorities
Of Anderson would be willing to do t
secure the CentIat's management OF the
American works.
The Central company recently had no
tice OF another advance OF it's natural ga
rates, the second in year. This nd
vance jumps its fuel bill up to $4,000
whereas at the opening OF the past yea
the charge was but $4,000. This in

A committee Of Riverside steel plant

PURE WATER FUR Elm GROVE.

A PronaislnG Scheme tor Water Works
for that Village.
Some time ago the INTELLIGENCE re.
ferred to project Of Mr.. ]. H. Rosen-
berg's to pipe the water from a ppring
at his stone quarries mile from Elm
Grove, to that village. The spring is
in location offering natural bed for a
reservoir, at an elevation OF $50 feet
above the village. This would give
abundant pressure for FIRE apparatus or
any other use. The volume Of water is
ample, and Is never less in hot, dry sea-
sons than at other times. Mr.. Rosen-
berg recently had the water analysed,
'H' t<'1'' ' = Dec. %, 1890.
Mr., J. II. RoSaba0, Wheeling, ". Va
DEAR sIR:--The spring water submit.
ted for qualitative Analysis as to its
adaptability to public uses has been duly
examined, with the following result:
Il contains total OF 16 grains solid
matter In solution to the gallon. This
consists OF calciG, teFric and magnesic
carbonates, calcic, magneSic and sodtc
sulphatee, with small amounts OF chic
rides, silicateR and traces Of phosphates.
Il differs but little in chemical Constitu-
ents from ordinary river waters, except
that il contains no organic matter, nor
IL il 80 liable to contamination through
decaying vegetable or other organic
substances. I find that at present 1t is
for all practical purposes soft water Of
but 4io hardness. This may be in.
creased, however, during q prolonged
dry season, but meyer so much, in my
opinion, as to render the water TOO hard
for ordinary domestic purposes.
Very respectfully yours,
Ggo. r. HENNEG.
Mr.. Rosenberg proposes To organize Q
Joint stock company. He estimates that
piping the water to Elm Grove through
q six.inch pipe and piping the town
would cost about $4,000.
