by the Water '-Works Company and
as the minority of the committee he
had asked of the Board of Audit,
and Finance that they withhold
payment of the-Water Works Com
pany's monthly bill until an investi
gation was had. He asked the
Mayor to appoint a committee of
three to investigate the contract
and see if the company cannot be
made to comply with its provisions.
The motion to appoint a commit
tee prevailed, and the Mayor ap
pointed Aldermen King, Ricaudand
Price as said committee.

lution, which was adopted in the
form of an ordinance, imposing a
fine of ten dollars upon any person
or persons burning paper or trash
in the streets without first obtaining

The Fish in the Channel.
The gangway at the Hummocks
was full of fishermen yesterday,
there being some ladies also among
the number. The channel appear
ed full of skipjacks and the catch
during.the day was very fine. We
were there during the afternoon und
it was a sight worth seeing. Thous
ands of sand , perch could be seen
swimming about near the top of the
water and there were frequent com
motions visible where the skipjack
would strike at the luckless perch.
Add to this the birds which filled
the air, descending swiftly every
moment to catch up a fsh, a.nd you
have the picture. Jt is one well
worth the ride to see, even if you
don't throw a line n. e. water,

Audit and Finance.
The Board met in regular session
yesterday afternoon. - -" :
A petition asking the Board to
appropriate the sum of $200 for the
Firemen's Tourament fund was,- on
motion, laid upon the' table, to
await action in the matter by the
Board of Alderman. - -
The . following communication
from the chairman of the Commit
tee on Water Works of the Board
of Aldermen was read:
Gkntlemkn: As one of the Com
mittee on Water Works from the
Board of Aldermen, I would most
respectfully, ask that you withhold
the payment' of. the Clarendon
Water Work's Company's monthly
bill, on the ground
1st. They contracted to furnish
water suitable aud fit for domestic
use; whereas, in fact, it is totally
unfit, except that they sonsider
dirty, muddy river water as such.
2d. They guarantee at all times a
sufficient pressure to throw .from
any five fire hydrants at one and
the same time, through one-inch
nozzles five streams of water to. an
average height of one hundred feet.
That they have not come up to this
part of the contract I respectfully
refer you to the monthly tests made
by the Chief of Police. At a recent
tire (on the 20th day of July) they
failed (either from insufficient
pressure or that the hydrant had
net been properly flushed, or
some other cause) to throw a
stream from the hydrant on Seventh
aud Mulberry streets exceeding
twenty-five feet, thereby impeding
the efficiency of the Fire Depart
ment toward controlling the said
fire, and but for the fact of recent
neavy rains mignx nave resuneu m
great damage to the property of the
surrounding neighoornooa.
3d. The citizens, especially from
said part of the city, are clamoring
for redress and threats have been
made towards testing the validity
of paying for that which in their
judgment they did not get value re
ceived.
Trusting: that you will comply
with the request, at least until an
investigation can be had, 1 am, gen
tlemen, yours, veiy respectfully,
Jas. W. King,
Member of Water Works Commit
tee Board of Aldermen.

A Sailor Suicides.
Carl Dabit, a German sailor who
has been at this port for seyeral
years past, suicided Jto-day in Mrs.
Bryson's boarding house on N-utt
street. For some time past Dabit
had been sick and had obtained a
certificate on which he could 'have
entered the hospital but he had re
peatedly said that he did not want
to go there. Yesterday he express
ed himself to some of the habitues
of Nutt street as tired of life and
determined to "shuffle off," and so
they watched him. Sure enough he
jumped into the river last night but
was discovered in time and fished
out.
To-day, about 1 o'clock, Dabit
seated himself behind the piano in
Mrs. Bryson's parlor and asked of a
fellow-lodger who was in the room
to get his razor, as he wished to
sharpen it and shave himself. Think
ing no evil, as this was a coinmou
occurrence, Kinney, the man who
was appealed to, got the razor and
handed it to him. He himself re
sumed his seat and his interrupted
occupation, but something attracted
his attention and he looked up, to
see Dabit fall to the floor and jets of
blood spouting from a terrible gash
in his neck. '- y
As soon as possible the alarm was
given and the police notified. The
unfortunate man was taken to the
hospital and died almost as soon as
he reached it.
Dabit was a well known charac
ter here and candor compels us to
add that he was - dissolute and
worthless. He was a terror in Pad
dy's Hollow. He had served a term
for larceny in either the 'Peniten
tiary or Workhouse, we forget which.
He was a man about 38 or 40 years
of age and it is not known that he
has any connections in this country.
Union Township.
Editor Review: Please do the
managers and- the' good people of
union lownsuip ine justice to-iuaiie
known through your columns that
the statement made in -last week's
issue of your paper was entirely tin
authorized either by tlvb people or
the managers of said township.
Such a statement is calculated to do
great injustice to our people's in
terest without or in advance 01 their
desired dictation, and perhaps seri
ous injustice to the narties named.
I respectfully ask ' Union" to show
