The Water Works.
Doings of the Week in This
Line.

This week more progress il
noticeable in all departments Of
the work. This is due to the fact
that foundations never make much
show.
The power house walls are grow.
ing fast and will soon be com.
pleted. All the openings are
now seen and are about com.
pleted.
The clay pipe going to the bayou
has not been progressing as fast as
could be desired. In order to lay
this pipe, a trench had to be dug,
in some places twenty one feet
deep. A few sections Of the clay
pipe were successfully laid when
the south wall gave way and caved
in, carrying away all of the bracing
and curbing. The removal of this
extra dirt caused by the cave will
consume great deal Of time.
This clay pipe is for an emergency
supply of water, in case the wells
should ever fail to meet: the
demands made upon them from
whatever cause.
The FIRST Of the two 8-inch wells
has been completed. After pass
ing below the soil and subsoil,
bed of clay was encountered which
was unbroken to a depth of one
hundred and sixty-6re feet. At.
this point sand was encountered.
Twenty feet more brought the
pipe to coarse sand and gravel,
where the boring was rested. The
strainer was then put..down forty
i've feet more. This makes the
.otal depth of Well No. l, two
hundred and thirty.five feet and
seven inches. The water rises to
within a few feet Of the surface in !
his we'll, but it does not over flow. |
captain Hart is satisfied that he
las q well in this one that
Fill meet every demand made
pom it.
Preparations are being made to
tart Well No. 2 at once, which
ill be sunk to q greater depth in
rider that the two wells may
OF draw from the same water
,vels.
On Monday last the work of
ntting the trench for the laying of
ne water mains was commenced
q Weeks street at Dale street,
Orking towards Main street. On
uesday morning pipe laying was ,
'mmenced and has progressed /
noothly. There we're upwards of {

Will Compromise.

VIII compromise.
It is now stated that those behind
the recent injunction against the new
city building would like to make a
compromise with the city's attorneys
and have made some propositions to
the city, but the same has been reject
ed, which was the right thing to do.
The kickers who are backing the in
junction have agreed to drop the mat
ter, so it Is rumored, providing the
city will pay the costs, but no such a
proposition will be listened to by the
City Council. This Is about the last
straw the opposition has to cling to
and by this unequaled offer are trying
their last move, and that without hope.
The citizens of this city want new
city building and everyone knows they
need 1t, and all know they would get
it were 1t not for a few men, who
from personal grudge, have been try
ing to keep the city back, and have
but one idea in their mind, and that
Is consult us" These dog in the man
ger" tactics are fast opening the eyes
of the people, and IL this new project
comes up again before the people it
will carry almost unanimously, and
pigmies and without any following.

THE ICE TRUST
Brought Into Court by the Proprietor
of the New York Journal.

Brought Into Court by the Proprietor
of the New York Journal.
ALBANY, N. Y. May 17.-Attorney
General Davies to-day listened to ar
guments of counsel on the application
of VIM. r. Hearst, of New York city,
to restrain the American Ice Company
from doing business in this State. The
proceedings are taken under the laws
OF 1899, which say that no stock COM
pany shall combine with another cor
poration or persons for the unlawful
restraint of trade or for the creating
Of q monopoly.
1t is charged that the American Ice
Company has combined with one ice
company after another in New York
city until the trade Is absolutely in its
hands, and that it has thus restrained
trade because its extraordinary dock
ing privileges prevents any other cor
poration or persons from engaging In
the business at a profit
No decision was reached. Further
briefs and aff1davits will be submitted
during the week.

Order no Good.

A good Joke Is being told on GER
tain official in this city, and it is said
he takes 1t very we'll and admits he
was duped by a clever trick of wo-
man. Some weeks ago the official fired
a man for an offense and as he had
no money he gave an order on Ger
tain railroad where he was employed.
Later his wife learned of her husbands
actions and had the pay signed over to
her, and when pay day came both city
official and wife were on hand, but the
wife entered the car first and secured
the money, much to the disappointment
of the officer, and she refused to turn
over the money and the matter was at
an end. No more orders go with that
official.
