 What about the Court holding his decision waiting the filing of briefs by counsel and for the Water Works Company?
 "After the demurrer had been ar- gued by counsel, Judge Williams sug- gesfed to theattorneys for the Water Works Company that if they desired to submit any further authorities in support of their demurrer, he wished tkem to hand them to him Ut once. Something was said by them of filing u brief. No request was made of the city's attorneys to this effect. In fact, we informed the Court that we had no further authorities to sub init. '

TWO RESIDENCES BURNED
And oontiagration Narrowly Ayerted
 Last Night.

The two cottages belonging to Mr.. l. J Moore and situated at the cor ner of Third avenue and Alabama street. were completely consumed by fire about , o'clock this morning. For some time it seemed as though the fire would spread to several other buildings, among them the Metropolitan Hotel, but on account Of q good water pressure and the en- ergetic efforts of the fire department they were saved.
 With plenty of dry fuel it did not take the flames long to enyelop both buildings, and soon they were q mass of chai.red ruins.
 Mir. Moore had the building insured for $l 800 and Mrs. IT. F.. Martin, who occupied one of them, had $400 insurance on her household goods. some of which were saved. The other building was occupied by MT. NJ. M. Field.

LONG HOURS OF LABOR
FORCED UPON ENGLISH RAILROAD EM-
 PLoYES.
The Report of Sir Courtney Boyle Makes
 Startling Disclosures.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The report of Sir Courtney Boyle who was desig- mated by the government Board of Trade to investigate the hours of la- bor of railroad employees, has been made pnblic and contains some sen- sational statements. On several lines he has found that the engineers and firemen are often compelled to work from eighteen to twenty-four hours at a stretch. One case inyesti- gated was that of a signalman at an important junction where many trains crossedand recrossed and who was on duty for twenty-five and a half consecutive hours. The most fragrant case investigated was that of an engineer who was kept at work without a rest for thirty-four consecutive hours. On q number of lines the average hours of the brake men, baggagemen and other employees ranged from sixteen to twenty-two. 1t Is believed that this report will re- suit In the passage of an act of par liameDt placing ,a limit on the num- Der Of hours tha. employees of rail roads may be kept continuously at work.

Owing to the long continued drought and the consequent decrease in available water supply, the con- sumers of the water company are earnestly requested to prevent and avoid any waste of water.
 While there is sufficient water for all legitimate and necessary uses. n continuation of the present wasteful use Of water may result in the inabil- ity Of the company to supply water for ae e,uaI needs.

THE LECTURE.
Col Henry wattsrson at the Opera house
 Last Night.

Col. Henry Watterson, the distin- guished editor of the Louisville Courier-Jo ournal, delivered his new lecture, entitled tThe Compromise of Life" to a small-sized audience at the Opera-house last night. The speaker and the audience were ap- parently embarrassed at the small number present, but those who heard the lecture were amply repaid for their time and money. Col. Wat terson was introduced in d compli- mentary and fitting manner by Hon. $. NJ. Taylor, and when the lecturer stepped to the front of the stage he was greeted by d hearty round oi applause. Col. Watterson, with out any prelude whatever, i'm mediately branehed forth on his lee ture, and for just one hour he oecu. pied the stage, throughout which he held the strictest and closest at. tention of his hearers. He was in teriupted u number of times by round after round of applause, and his reference to Napoleon and his tribute to Lincoln-.sthe inspired oI God''-were especially beautiful touching and eloquent, and the ap. plause was so long and vigorous that the lecturer had to pause and  bow his owledgements.
 1t is a matter of serious regret thai there was not q larger audience out to hear this distinguished American and those who did hear him wer, exceedingly fortunate.

THAT RECEIVER.
An Interesting Intersiew With Col. g. M .
 Taylor Upon that Subject.

A reporter for the GRAPHIc ealIe at the office of Messrs. Austin x Fay Tor this morning. with view of as certaining what effect, if any. the ap-I paintment of Receiver of the Water Works Company at the instance of the bondholders by Judge Caldwell at St Louis would have upon the suit. of the City of Pine Bluff against tho sWater Works Company, now pending before the Federal court at Little Rock, and in reply to a ques- tion with reference. to this matter Mr. Taylor stated that he did not know that if would have any effect whatever detrimental to the rights of the city, saying:
 Several days ago the case came up upon the complaint of the city be- fore Judge Williams on demurrer interposed by the Water, Works Company, and after argument by counsel foR the respective parties Judge Williams announced that he
 would take the ease under advise ment The bill, it will be remem- -bered, asked for the possession of the Water Works under the contract, for an injunction against the Water Works t0 prevent it from throwing water from the Arkansas river through the mains and hydrants of the city, and in the meantime prayed that d Receiver be appointed to take charge of the Water Works plant and hold it until the case was finally heard and determined. I take it for granted that Judge Caldwell knew nothing whatever of the pen dency of the suit before Judge Will Hams. Evidently this is scheme resorted to by the Water Works Company and the bondholders, be- cause we are informed that the bond holders are the real owners of the Water Company, to defeat the probable appointment of Receiver by Judge Williams. The city's case is still before Judge Williams. and it remains for him to render a decision. If it shall be decreed by him that a receiver be ap- pointed, then presume that the re- ceiver would have the right, under that order, to take charge of the property, since this proceeding was instituted before, and would ante date that brought before Judge Cald- well. The creditors, or rather the b0ndholders, of the Water Works Company have no rights which are it was provided in the contract le- tween the city and the Water Works that in case of default in the supply of water for either fire or domestic purposes, the city should have the right to take possession of the plant and run and operate it at the ex- pense of the owners. The creditors of the Water N orks Company knew of this contract, and contracted with the Company with full knowledge of the contract existing between the city and the Water Works Company.
 What steps will be taken now by thecity? e sbAS
 St is not necessary for any action to be taken whatever until Judge Williams passes upon the matter be- fore him. Of course, we believe, if Judge Caldwell had been informed of the real facts in the case, as also of the pending. bill at Little Rock, and also of the distress of the people of our city on account of the einadequatel water supply, not only for fire. but for domestic purposes, no action
