Public Watering Trough.

One Of the most commendable acts
done by the city recently, Is the establish
ment Of large round drinking tank for
horses In the depot square, opposite the
Griffin hotel. This Is connected with the
water main and arranged SO as to feed
automatically. but cannot overflow, as a
drain pipe carries off the water when II
reaches certain height. The next thing
to do In connection with this Improvement
Is to prevent the band Of Sumpter's med.
dlesome youngsters from filling up the
tank and pipes with stones and mud. as
they commenced to do before the same
had been In use an hour.

Acting Secretary Of the Navy Hac.
kett has made public n letter received
from Rear Admiral Howison in which
tho latter sets forth that he Is not an
enemy Of Schlcy, and that he never
made the remarks attributed to him by
h 'BoSton % newspapers, und . he be.
lieved he could serve on the court
without prejudice. To this Secretary
Hackett has replied that the depart
mcnt Is satisfied, and intimated that
Howison would remain on the court,
and In the event that Schley's counsel
objects, the other members Of the cour,
must pass on Admiral Howison's com.
petence.
The correspondence was sent TO Adj
miral Schley, who discussed It with
his counsel. Later in the day the fol.
lowing announcement was made:
admiral Schley's counsel Is entirely
dissatisfied with the position of Ad-
miral Howison as disclosed in his let.
ter to Acting Secretary Hackett."
The lawyers hold that IL Is not a
comprehensive denial Of the statements
attributed to Admiral Howison nor.
they say, does it disclose sufficiently

probable they win set forth these OBJ.
