More Water.

There does not seem to be any limit to
the quantity of arteSian well water to be
obtained by boring for H.. Colonel George
w. breckenridge, who has bored at least
half dozen successfully. on different and
widely separated properties owned by
him, has just made another strike. He
struck vein with powerful pressure, in
his eight-inCh well, near the lower pump
house, and the flow from it amounts to
more than million and a quarter gallons
per diem. Its powerful flow. of the very
pureSt water, will be used to supplement
the supply in the main, at the lower
pump house.

HIS MAIDEN SPEECH.
The New District Attorney Scores
Success on His First Case.

The first case in which the new district
attorney, w r. Camp, has had an oppOr-
tunity oprOsecute oil any note was that of
the incendiary Henry Hiley. Mr.. Camp
conducted the case above and with great
ability and deXterty and his maiden
speech as a prosecutor here was one
which stamped him as success
A large number OF the members of
the local bar had gathered in the court
chamber TO hear it. and all Of
them pronounced it an excellent one,
having very favorable comparison with
that of his predecessor Paschal. The
language was chaste and vigorous, the
addition eloquent,and geSticulation forc-
bic. Though subjected to frequent
tauntS and Interruptions by opposing
council Robert L. Summerln, Mr.. Camp
did not lose his equipoiSe and fOrcibly and
ably answered all OF the objections and
points raised by the defense as we'll as
put the points fOr the prosecution.
In less than fifteen minutes after the fin
al argument of Mr. Camp closed the jury
brought In a verdict of guilty, and as
seSSed Hiley's penalty at 5 years in the
peDitentiary.

Why Is This ?

The citizens residing on or IN the vicin-
ity of the junction of CamargO. South
PreSa and Mill streets are kicking be-
cause of the much Travelled section there
is no crosswalk. There was one, but it is
worn out and. though it is all right in
this fine weather. in the rainy season
pedestrians to cross the street or get into
a street car have to wade through sea of
mud. EX-AldcIman PerSch some months
since called attention to this and new
crOSSwalk was ordered by the city council
but no attempt has been made to fiji the
order, although crOSSwalkS, less neceS-
Sary, are being built in other sections OF
the city. 1t is high time that this matter
had due attention.

REPEAL AT LAST.

The Voorhees, silver purchase repeal
bill passed the senate last evening by q
vote of 43 to 32.
The figures serve to show to what ex.
tent the extravagant and vehement
claims of the silverites have proved to
be merely great bluff.
This bill is expected to be passed by
the house today and to reach the presi-
dent for his signature tonight. That he
will sign it at once seems not to be a
question that is debatable. 1t is alto
gether probable, therefore, that tie bill
will at once become law and that the
policy of buying silver to bury again in
the ground will speedily be abandoned
by the government.
II cannot be doubted that this action
by congress will have good effect upon
business in general, and thar it will at
once lead to season of speculation and
expansion OF certain lines Of business.
Neither can il be doubted that the
passage OF the repeal bill will prove an
inadequate remedy for the business sit
uation. 1t will help, but il does not APP
pear that it will materially stimulate
manufacturing, which is now dormant
because it is threatened with changes in
the tariff laws which would result
ruinously to it.
Repeal will, after its full effect has
been demonstrated, draw attention more
sharply to the masterful influence Of the
tariff upon business, aud will clear the
field OF Democratic excuses and eva.
sions. 1t will make it impossible to
avoid facing the ugly AID depressing
fact that Democratic threats against the
tariff are the real influence that
has operated to paralyze the business OF
the country and bring about a panicky
condition that has alr,aly resulted in
the ruin of almost numbeIless enter
prises aud individuals.
Repeal is well, but il is not the
pauacea for the caucerous disease tie
country is afflicted with, and whoever
regards it as such will inevitably hav,
speedy cause to regret his Judgment.

At THE THEATERS.


A large and enthusiastic audience
crested the second visit OF Glen-da-Lough
at the Providence Opera house last even
ing, and the romantic Irish drama WIS
we'll received. Glen-ds- Lough is play
that is radical depar ure from
the usual drama founded on scenes
aud incidents purely Irish, and through
out the perlor nance is sprinklei plenti-
fully with wit ana humor OF a high ass.
La fact every indication OF horse play Is
avoided ana the play has thread or
pathos and refined humor running
through its performances. An unusually
strong company is embraced in the
cast and the splendid scenic ,ffscts and
magnificent stage settings contributed no
small amount to the success. As Ter
renee O'Toole, the das ing hero, j. b
Murray. was in his element, and his per-
formance was greeted with applause.
Miss Clara Lane gave we'll studIe rep
resentation of the light hearted
girl from County Wicklow, and in con-
nection with Mr.. Murray delighted all by
tho sweet songs. The song * iihleen
Mavvurneea" was especially touching ard
evoked the widest applaus.. Charles A.
Smiley as Lord Montgomery, John Ward
as Stanley Nagie, w. IL Power, jr., as
Percy Dudley. Nellie Strickland as Lady
Augela and Florine Arnold Andrews as
Bride kavanagh were good performers
aud invest ed their paris with an energy
that was convincing. The latte, Miss
Andrews. is a Providence actress and has
already fulfilled the promises made
at her but. The play will he the at
traction ut the opera house throughout
the week with the usual matinees. Be.
sides the other attractions tbs dancing by
