communications
October A, 1897.
To the Honorable Board Of Street and
Water Commissioners
Gentienen-My attention has been
called by the public press to the condltlon
of affairs at the Belieyille Water works.
1t is claimed that this city has for years
past and now Is employing an unneces-
sary staff of employees. Our city can i'll
afford to support men for the mere pur-
pose of killing time
You are doubtless aware of the fact
that we are now paying about Sl00O-00 per
day to water company and that this
fact coupled with the vast amount OF
interest that has to be paid on the water
debt will result in a large deficiency. Our
predecessors thought that an increased
water rent would meet this condition Or
affairs, but any one familiar with the sit
uation knows that these water rents IN
order to accomplish this result should
have been raised a year sooner.
The present administration had to meet
the obligations thus incurred, and as a
result the Water Department is threat
ened with an alarming deficit. Our Water
Department should be selfsustaif1ing, and
as the first step in this direction ! urge
that you Immediately appoint commit
tee to investigate the true condition OF
affairs at Belleville, and that your Hon
orable Beard take such action as you
may deem expedient in the matter
Not only our taxes but our water rents
must come down and In order to attain
this object I must insist upon your hearty
cooperation
Respectfully submitted.

Captain Curtis, of the wheat ship Euryd-

elevator. He has had an experience with
in the past twelve months that might make
many a skipper envious, having ruled as
king of a group of islands in the South Pa

of the ship Flora f. Stafford, which was
lost at sea about a year ago.
When the Stafford was given up, said
Captain Curtis this morning, we lowered
the boats and left her at sea- mad SIX
men with me in one boat, and the captain
went in another boat. My boat headed for
the Caroline islands, and after fifteen days
we came in sight of land We were royalty

They were learned native doctors. They
were led out to a public park and shot by

the earth pierced by score of bullets.
There was fighting on the island all the
time. No one was allowed on the streets

STA AFFORD had landed safely at Manila eight
DAYS after the wreck.
After leaving Manila Captain Curtis sue

A fight between Sammy Nichols and Jack
Newell was an episode in the Detroit-Gra

Nichols was running the bases ana on
reaching third went over the bag few
feet and then returning he gave NeWeH
vicious kick. Newell squared away for a
fight and landing couple of uppercuts
was following Nichol up to give him some
more when the police and spectators in
terfered without assistance from the UNI
pire. The pugilists chewed the rag for a
while and then the game proceeded. Nichols
claimed that Newell was in his way to
third.
Washington Star: The averages are well
worth studying. They show that batting
is a very important part, much more so
than fielding, in giving a team good place
in the championship race. 1t will be OBJ
served that three Of the four teams that
hold the highest places in batting also hold
the best places in the championship race
On the other hand, the Baltimores who
lead the race, are seventh in fielding. Go
a little further, and look over the indi-
vidual batting averages. How we'll the old
saying, Once a batter always. a batter"
is exemplihed. Look down the list, and the
names of Kelley, Duffy, Keeler, Stencil
Lange, Hamilton, Herman, Van Haltren,
Holiday and others, who for years have
bid for the topmost honors, are there again
this season. Some new ones Will also be
found among the 300 per cent. men, notably
