THE gentlemen who have contracted
to drive the new len inch we'll al the
| Water Station will be in Mil on Mon
lday next and will begin operations inn
mediately upon their arrival i'll town
/ It is proposed to go at least two hundred
feet dsep and if good water and perfect
flow is not then obtained the pipe will be
driven lower, 10 a depth Of four or even
FIVE hundred feet, if such depth is neces-
sary The Light and Water Commission
els are determined to get a perfect flow
of pure water before they give up trying.
The same parties will do the work who
put in the present wells from which the
town is supplied with water. The wells
now used are inadequate to the demand
aud it is necessary to pump all night now
TO fill the stand pipe After a sufficient
supply of water IS obtained two hours
pumping will Gil the stand pipe. The
new well is intended to supply all the
water necessary for many years 10 come
DIR. ToHNA. B WILSON has been trans
ferred from New York Conference 10
Southern California Confere nee, aud ap
pointed Pastor OF First Methodist Epis-
copal Church, in Los Angeles DIR. Will
son came to this city from Delaware,
where he had been for many years pro
noun ced 70 ce aud a presiding elder of
activity and controlling ubiquity. He
came here like warm Southern breeze, !
and took an extremely difficult position
the pastorate of Eighteenth Street
Methodist Episcopal Church. Every
element Of the society sprang iuto life as
the breezes Of spring aome,imes develop /
in a day retarded germinat Oh and growth |
Tue vicinage perceived that battery OF
personal energy al been set up among |
them. or rather had begun to move with 1
such rapidity ia all directions as 10 seem Z
to fill the horizon. Congregation in (
creased, and hundreds and even thous- /
ands, IN other parts of the city became /
aware for the first time of the existence
of the church There had been none
like him in the Methodist Church III this
city, neither were there any able TO iml-
tate him To the 1eepest cellar, TO the
summit of the loftiest tenement house, Z
his stawart limbs bore his weighty frame. 1
His voice was heard By all who had not
lost the sense of hearing. He has cour-
aye enough for four men, and energy en-
oueh for two. There were sparks and
He took a deep interest
in tile overthrow OF Tammany and in all
the papers accused him of initiating DR..
Parkhurst. 1t w@1ea ridiculous charge, !,
for he is as incapable of initiating as he
is impossible of being initiated. He
found the church three and half years
ago with four hundred members; he leaves
il with six hundred and eighty Ave. He
needs no introduction 10 the people OF
Los Angeles. Like the woman who asked
the bank cashier, when ne demanded
some ore 10 identify her, who can iden
tilv me better that can identify MY
seif?e we may say, "Who can introduce
DR.. Wilson better than he can introduce
himseIfY' Whether the people agree
with HIM is not the question lie asks, but
whether they ought TO agree with him,
which he generally decides in the aiir-
native. One Of the best things said about
him or any OTHER minister is what we
heard a member Of his church affirm con-
cerniug him, that winter and summer. IN
season and out Of season, that member
never was conversant with a minister
eho kept the conversion Of souls more
10 the front than he had done. Ckr5sfsaa
