rtceiyed (his morning a long telegram
signed officially bj the city clerk of Chi
cago, embodying resolutions adopted by
tie oily oouneil last night. The council
formally requests that the buiial place
of the dead statesman be selected in the
oty up on whioh he has oonferred eo
naeb honor, in a site to be dedicated
by the city to the purpose. Tbeeoonoil
appointed a committee to eonfer nith
committees of the civic and military or
ganiiations in regard to the seleotion of
the place of burial and to make arrange
ments for the reception and interment
of tit remain. As announeed inform
ally last night the decision ispraotioaUy
reached to hato the funeral in the Sen
ate chamber next Friday and then con
roy the remains to Chicago. Few of
the details of the arrangements have
jet been determined ipon. The Senate
committee acting through the sergeant-at-arms
will have immediate charge oi
the remains. Col. Kennedy announces
that by request of Mrs. Logan General
Sheridan will be in Charge of the pro
otssion. which will escort the remain
from Calumet plsoe to the oapitol.
Washibqtcb, Deo. 28. During the
afternoon telegrams have been reoeireo
from Chicago which throw a measure ol
doubt upon arrangements supposed to
be already practically concluded for tfc
ingan funeral. The! park eommissioii
ers teltcraph that after eonsideradou
with their attorney they are reluctant!)
ed to the conclusion8 that they lack th
authority to set apart a place for th
burial in the public i park, but the au
thorities say they would doubtless be
granted at once by the legislature whioL
convenes next week.! In the meant me
tke oitiiecs cencmittee of Chicago eug-
fist other arrangements which can be
perfected without delay. The necessity
for a tpeedy eonelusion of the matter
may peseibly lead to1 an entire abandon
ment of the plus thus far considered.

isoiTOLi, Deo 26. The Christmas
jusi passed stands cut obnspicious
among all the Christmas days that Ashe-
ville has seen. riaturemiled upon us.
The day was mild in comparison with
the; preceding days of Deoembcr, the
mercury ranging from twenty two de
grees at sunrise to forty two at noon,
and declining again si t unset to the morn-
its' "temperature. It was ; the most
beautiful day that the present December
has yet witnessed.
The Christmas rejoicings pet in with
Christmas eve, but were quickly ebeeked
by a trsgie oecurrecoe, that sent a thrill
of horror through the town. At 6.30
in the evening, while the streets were
tbrotled with people, and fire-crackers
were rcscunaing m ine streets, a pistol
shot rirg out on the air at the Swan
nsnoa HoteL Edward 8. 1 Aston, a
young man of twenty-two years, son of
Mayof Aston, fired the shot that ended
his own life, under oiroumstainoes sensa
tions) pathet'e in the extreme. During
the day he was about his business as
usual but laboring under mental exoitc
ment, produced, it is said, : by intoxi
cating drinks imbibed the night before.
Be conversed with friends; said, among
other things, that he was going to South
Air erica to ergsge in business there,
and gave no hint of any purpose to com
mit suicide. About half-past 6 o'clock
he wept to the Swannanoa botelj regis
tered his name, took a room and retired
to it. I In a short while he returned to
tbe ofBoe with his hat, gloves and over
coat on. Mr. liawls, at the. counter,
remarked to him, "Ed, you didn't sleep
lorg.' To which he replied, "No, I
changed my mind. Here is a note which
L wisn you would give my lather as a
Christmas present from me." Mr.
Rawls took the note, Aston
turned, took several steps, and
dtawiss pistol frcm his hip pocket
plaoed the inutile to his right temple,fired
and fell dead, the ball having penetrated
the brain. A crowd quickly gathered
at the hotel, and the body of the unfor
tunate young man was removed to the
residenoe of the heart-broken parents
This tragic occurrence east t gloom over
the entire population, for the Aston
family are held in high esteem and enjoy
the sympathetic friendship of the whole
community.
Leas drunkenness was observable thsi
usual on Christmas day. This fact vat,
due in great measure to the fact that the
bar-roc ms of their own aoccrd, and on
of a decent regard for public sentiment,
eloeed up their establishments. The
stores, with few exceptions, were closed
throughout the day, and business wis
generally suspended. With the exoeption
of the noise of fire-crackers and tho com
motion created by the parade of a band
of horsemen dressed in fantastic cos
tumes the day was quiet as a Sabbath.
The churches where services wero held
were well filled; the religious observanoe
of the day was perhaps more general than
at any , Christmas ever known here.
Christmas trees were had at the Meth
odist ; and Baptist churches and at
some j private nouses, unyistmaj tree
festivals were held at a number of
churches in the oountry. It is safe to
say that the day has taken a deeper,
wider, firmer hold on our people than
ever before. Here it was unattended
by the saturnalia of debauohery and
orime that marks Christmas-tide in some
countries to the shame and disgrace of
humanity. Dancing seems to have been
cot. fined almost entirely to the oolcred
DODulation. They bad a number of
balls and festivals. Oce ball that at

The water-works committee of the

expression of opinion from the county

and possible future contamination of the
water of Walnut creek, the board cf I

report to them. The following is tho
report of the said committee, whioh was
unanimously adopted by the board of
health and ordered to be transmitted
through its committee to the water
works committee of tho board of alder
mer. This was dono November 21,
886:
To the Board of Health of Wake
CoUi.'Jv:
Gbktlixzn: The committee appointed !
by your honorable body to gather all
facts bearine upon the present purity i
and possible future contamination of the
waters of Walnut creek, bee leave to
submit the following report:
We have made a careful, personal in
spection of the stream, its tributaries
and its watershed from the head waters
in Cary to the Rocky Hole the latter
being the placa from which the oity pro
poses to take its water supply. I ha
dates of our visits are Tuesday, Sep
tember 14th, Monday, September 27th,
Monday, Uotober 4th, Monday, Uotober
18tb, and Thursday, Uotober 21st. The
portion of creek examined is about
eight' miles lone, quite crooked, with
now find then long stretches of sluggish
water, and is fed by several branches,
among whioh may be mentioned Reedy
Fork, Lynn's, Simmon's, Bushy and
Stony. The drainage area is partially
wooded and partially cultivated, and,
according to Mr. Arthur Winslow, is
about eighteen f square miles. We found
that about one-quarter of the town of
Cary drained into the creek, tho excre
ment of about 100 people being oast
daily upon the watershed in oleae prox
imity to the stream, including the ex
crement of about thirty to forty people,
which was daily dropped through, a
privy immediately into its head waters,
a small branch, which has its origin in a
spring in a tobacco factory and tuws
slowly through a portion of the town.
W e learned from a physician practising
in the village that during this summer
several cases of typhoid fever had oo
eurrod on the water-ihed of the stream,
one ease being under treatment at the
time of our visit. From Cary to Yates'
pond there is, in our opinion, no ob
vious source of contamination. At
Yates' mill, four and a half miles from
the city, we found a pond of long stand
ing and considerable ; s, its bottom
and sloping, banks, covering a large area
and very objectionable, being full of
decomposing vegetable matter and mak
ing a trap- for catching and propagating
disease germs brought down by storm
water. From Yates pond to Rocky
Hole wo could discover nothing of spe
cial importance bearing upon the pollu
tion of the water. The volume of the
creek, according to Mr. Winslow's ob
servations at the Rhamkatte road July
23th, 1886, was 3,610.000 gallows per
twenty-four hours, which is at present
more than sufficient for the needs of our
eity. It is well enough, however, for
prudential reasons, and as we are opposed
to impounding reservoirs, to bear in
mind the faet that, as the seotion of
country through whioh the stream and
its tributaries flow becomes more densely
populated, highly cultivated and depriv
ed of its forest, the amount of flow dimin
ishes and the danger of contamination
increases. At present, however, with
. . . . . . ....
the exception of the objections, men
tioned above, to Cary and Yates' mill,
Walnut creek, in our opinion, is sub
ject to no more dangers of pollution
from storm water than creeks flowing
through any inhabited and partly cul
tivated country.
At 4 09 o clock on Monday afternoon;
Oatober 4th, 1886, we gathered speci
mens of water from the creek at tho
r--l TT-1- .V.
xtooay aojo in tno u rimes larm f
above the asylum sewerage, and in
about an hour or two afterwards deliv
ered them in person to Dr. 0. W. Dab-
aey, Jr. Ua Uotober Uth, 1880, we
reoeived the following analysis from the
North Carolina Agricultural Experi
ment Station, signed by Dr. Chas. W
Dabney, Jr., director:
A5ALT&IS BO 4,151.
Nobtb Cabouha Aobicitltcbal Expbbi
mbht Station,
Raliioh, N. C.y Oct. 9m, 1886.
The sample of drinking water sent to
the station for analysis, in two glass
bottles marked , water slightly
clouded with clay and siliot in suspen
sion, contains :
Total solids in solution and in sus
pension 4 25 grs. per I. gallon. It was
impossible to make quantitative deter
mutations of the diflerent "solids in
the small amount afforded by thi sam
pie. Qialitatiyely examined the above
showed tho presenoo of silioa, alumina
and iron oxides (traces) probably in
suspension ; lime, potash and soda, sul
phates and chlorides (traoes) in solu
lion; chlorine (1) 0 33; (2) 0 36 grs
per imperial gallon ; free ammonia (1)
0 0266; (2)0 0266 parts per million;
albumenoid ammonia (1) 0 420 ; (2)
0.110 parti per million.
Notm. The only thing about these
results whioh, would distinguish this
water from the purest spring water, is
the very sma'l excess of albumenoid am

gagements however were suoh that he was

having for some time been his assistant.
We therefore engaged Dr. Abbott's
services and in compliance with his di
rections, at about 4 o'clock on Thursday
afternoon October 21st, 1886, bottled
aud packed samples of water, also taken
at Kooky Hole. We sent them to Bal
timore by the first express, whioh was
next morning. Ua Friday night, Ujto-
ber 29 th, 1836, we reoeived the follow
ing report frcm him :
"Ualtimobb, Md., Uct. 548, '86.
"The sample of water sent me by you
for biological analysis turns out to be
of about the same degree of free
dom from bacterial life as that of the
oity of Baltimore That is, it is
somewhat above the average purity.
Tho plan of investigation that has been
pursued is the geUtive pUte m-v.hou of
Kooh, by which on is enabled to say to
a certainty the number of living organ
isms that may be present in a given vol
ume of water.
In eaoh of the bottles there were
ssmall particles of foreign matter held in
suspension, which, upon miorosoopio
examination, proved themselves to be
nothing of any interest dirt, vegetable
fibre &a.
The experiments for the detection of
the prcsenee of bacteria were oonduoted
as follows:
From eaoh bottle, two s Ties of three
plates eaoh wero made. Three of them
being made with agar-agar (Japanso
gelatine) and kept at the body tempera
ture and three upon table gelatine
(flash peptone gelatine) and kept at the
same temperature. Of those on the
agar agar and kept at 36 C the follow
ing number of oolonies presented after
24 hours.
From bottle No 1
Plate: made with 1. o. o. of water
showed 61 oolonies
Plate made with 0 5 c. e. of water
showed 83 colonies.
Plate in tde with 0 1 e. e. of water
showed 5 oolonies.
From bottle No. 2.
Plate made with 1 o. o. of water
showed 59 colonies.
Piste made with 0.5. e. e. of water
showed 35 oolonies.
Plato made with 0.1 e. c. of water
showed 8 oolonies.
In a similar series of experiments,
made upon gelatine and kept at 20C,
we got the following results after 48
hours:
From bottle Nol.
Plate made with 1. o. e. of water
showed 83 oolonies. ,
Plato made with 0.5 e. e. of water
showed 55 oolonies.
Plate made with 0 1 o. c of water
showed 30 colonies.
From bottle No. 2.
Plato made with 1. o. e. of water
showed 118 oolonies.
Plato made with 0.5 c e. of water
showed 74 oolonies.
Plato made with 0 1 c. o. of water
showed 17 oolonies.
Of these numbers. (26) oolonies of these
on the 1. e. o. plate from Bottle No 1
and 27 colonies on the corresponding
plate from Bottle No. 2, caused lique
faction of the gelatine. Of the whole
of those present there appeared none
that could be considered suspicious, as
the whole number comprised, with a
very, few exceptions, those- organisms,
that make water their common habitat
and which possess no known pathiogenic
properties.
These figures indicate therefore the
degree of purity of the samples of your
water from a bacteriological standpoint.
The number of oolonies indicate the
number of single organisms that were
present at the time the experiment was
made and these oolonies are the out
growth each of a single organism. Wa
ter samples diner very widely in the
number of contained organism?, seme:
revealing the presenoe of only one or
two per cubic centimetre, while others
will be so rich in them, as to require a
high degree of dilution, before it be
comes possible to count them at all.
do that from this you will see that
the samples of water, as thoy came into
my hands, represent a nnro than aver
age degree of purity. I enolose a scheme
of the above results, made in a oondens
ed form, with an average I of the two
bottles. H

vestigations, it is manifestly unsoientifle
to express an unconditional opinion for
or against the purity of Walnut creek
water suoh opinion being based sole
ly upon a single Chemical and biological
examination unless, however, suoh
analysis should show very gross pollu
tion By reference to the above ehemieal
analysis it will be observed that there
is, mention of some slight vegetable con
tamination. Tb.p process employed in
the chemical analysis being that of
Wanklyn, according to his olassvfioation,
such contamination would class it
amongst the sasioous waters. By refer
ence, however, to the reports of the
National Board of Health it wiU also
be observed that! although waters eon
tain much largorj amounts of albumenoid
ammonia aud even free ammonia and
chlorine than thp water we have under
consideration, yet they are elapsed as
good and organically safe from a oh em i
oal standpoint . by most e jmuotont ob
servers, who have mod ;Wanklyn's
method. The rfgid standard of classifi
cation of Wanklyn. therefore, ia no tun
reservedly aooepud. but ii subjected to
considerable variations. The chemical
analysis then showing the amount of
solids, free ammonia and chlorine to be
small, acaordiog to the standard of all ob
servers and the qiantity of albumenoid
ammonia t be w ithin the limits of safety
recognised by fnost chemists and the
liologioal Biolysis showing it to be
Above the average degree of purity, eon
iaining not even any suspicious particles
in suspension, nor any suspicions or
ganisms, wo think that keeping in
view all the while tho basis above given
for our opinion the oity oould aecept
Walnut creek water as a safe water.
- Provided 1st. There are no impound
ing reservoirs upon the stream or upon
any of its tributaries, so that the water
Supply may be taken from the daily
flow cf the stream.
I Provided 21, That such an arrange
ment be made as to prevent, as far as
possiblo, the pumping into the mains of
of storm water, even if filtered,
f Provided 3rd, That the water be so
thoroughly filtered as to remove any
exoess of albumenoid ammonia, and if
any chemical method be employed not
more than one grain to the gallon of the
substanoe used be permitted to pass into
the filtered water.
Provided 4th, That none but filtered
water, taken from above the asylum

This morning many oitisens attended
the Episoopal church and heard an ex
oallent, animated sormon by Rev. Wm.
M.Clarke 1
About 3 o'clock the alarm of fire was
raised and it was do-covered that the
kitchen of Dr ! Hume's house was in
fiames. Dr. IJamo and many others,
eitisans, professors and students, labor
ed to save the dwelling, but in conse
quence of the proximity of the kitchen,
snd the fx fl imraable material of both
edifioes, together with the ab
sence of a j fire engine and de-
fieieroy ef water, their efforts were vaio.
The furniture and the doors, mantel
pieces and witd-iwj were saved, with
the usual dam are from nasty handling
Tho fire originated in tho carelessness of
a servant giri in piaoing asnes in a par
rel in the kitchen. Dr. Hume's furni
ture was mostly new. He had recently
moved bto the house and was most
comfortably settled; Much sympathy
is expressed towards him and his family,
while all grieve that the University and
Chapel HU1 should have suoh a series of
misfortunes.
Mr. Utley estimates the loss at about
$2,000. The property was not insvred
as the authorities thought it best to ex
send all the money at their oommand
. . -. . . .
for this object, tn insuring the Cmver
sitv buildings proper, and the libra
ries, Ac. !
The house j was a Chapel Hill land'
mark, having been occupied by Dr.
Wm. Hooper, Dr. O aid well, Bishop
Green, Gov. 8wain, D. 0. Phillips and
Prof. Hooper It was seventy-six years
old. v
Prof. Toy, who was dangerously
wounded by being thrown from his horse
on the 23d is improving. The professor
is a favorite with all, University folks
and the ommunity generally, and his
acoident, which cam so near being fatal,
caused genuine grief.
