THE PoToMAC STILL AGROUND
The steamer Potomac 10 still aground
in Coan river, Virginia, where she ran
on a bar, last Sunday morning week.
All attempts to float the steamer have
been futile, owing to the height OF the
tide at the time she struck, and the
speed at which she was running. The
Wakefield, of the Washington line, as
heretofore stated, has been working
persistently in the hope of moving her
from her present position, but finally
despaired of success after having brok-
en- several hawsers. AS q result, Capt.
Geoahegan has telegraphed for tug to
be sent from Baltimore to give him the
needed assistance. The tug was sent.
The Potomac was due in Baltimore
Saturday, but did MOI arrive, because at
that time she had not been released from
her place on the bar. Her failure to
reach Baltimore necessitated the dis
patching of another steamer in her
place, which left there Saturday alter
noon, to cover the route in the Potc-
mac, stopping at ell landings in Mary
land and Virginia. The Potomac is one
of the boats which the commuters OF
Baltimore and Washington hope to Sc
cure in order to successfully put into
operation as their retalatory measure
against the railroads.

pointed committee by the Mayor, IN
der resolution of the City Council of
November %, 1898, to inquire into the
report that the city was being supplied
with marsh water, will to-day submit
their report to the Mayor, who liz turn
will communicate the report to Council

report will be long one and will con-
tain an array Of figures and statistics,
the committee having, it is said, spent
the $50 appropriated to pay them and
more too, in. having an analysis made
of the water. The report, it is under
stood, will state that there is no pipe
through which water is drawn from the
marsh to the reservoir, but that the
water being supplied the city contains
matter delteterious to health and that
measures should be taken to purify the
water.

ANOTHER SUICIDE. - Wallace Po-
land, aged 26 years, who about four
months ago married Miss Valley Colt
man, committed suicide about o'clock
to-day. Poland had been depressed in
spirit for some time; it is alleged, from
the fact that he mad lost his employ
ment, and shortly after noon to-day he
determined to end his life. With this
object in view he secured pistol and
sent ball through his heart. His
rash act attracted the attention OF the
inmates of the house, and DR.. Snow
den, who had been attending Poland,
was summoned. He arrived, accom-
panied by DR.. O'Brien, but the man
died as the physicians entered the
house. The suicide came to this city
several years ago from Orange county
and resided with Mr. Elijah Petersen
at 113 south Henry street, where the
rash act was committed. Coroner
Purvis deemed an inquest unnecessary.
