DAM QUESTION" ABOUT TO BE
SETTLED.

A fair and equitable solution of
the long mOOted new dam" matter.
which has been a bone of contention
between the city of Paris, and the
Paris Milling Co., seems in prospect.
For several months the matter has
been in dispute between the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad, the city
of Paris, the Paris Milling Co., and
the Paris Water Co., the question of
erecting new dam or repairing the
old one being the main point in the
argument. The dam which is located
near the plant of the Paris Milling
Co., has fallen into bad state of re-
pair, and it was agreed that some
thing must be done in order to con-
serve the water supply.
According to reliable information
it was stated yesterday that an agree
ment had at last been reached by
which the Paris Water Co. and the
Paris Milling Co. will jointly stand
the expense of new dam to be built
by the Louisville & Nashville, under
supervision of the railroad company's
engineers. The agreement will also
cause the withdrawal of a suit for
damages filed by the Paris Milling
Co. against the Louisville G Nash
Vile.
The specifications have been COM
pleted by the Louisville & Nashville's
engineers and draughtsmen, the loca-
ton of the new structure decided
upon at a point just below the pres
ent structure, and the estimates and
plans, ETC., submitted to the head off,
Gals of the company at Louisville for
their inspection and approval. When
this has been completed large force
of men will be put to work on the
new dam.

cans, brigaded with the French. arc
aiding the latter in making tho city
untenab1e for the Huns.
'"This little town, whose history
dates back to the first millennium Of
the Christian era, had population
Of less than 5000 at the beginning OF
the war. but 1t was rich in historic
associations. It is said to have de-
rived, its name from tho fact that
Didier or Desiderius, the last of the
Lombard kings. was imprisoned here
in TIA by Charlemagne. It will be
remembered that Charlemagne, hav-

monarch, and after marching an army
across the Alps captured his erstwhile
father-in-laws capital city. Ticinum.

on an eniinence on the banks of the
river Don. 1t is the capital of an ar

voyage OF discovery and which con-

century; the Church OF st. Sepulchre,
and the Palais de Justice. formerly the
city castle. In the last-named build
