RALEIGH, SEPT. 17, 1892.
OUR CITY WATER A.GAIJN.
We understand that some of the
city and ater works officials are dis
pleased at something we had to say
about the city water a few daya since
We were not after the officials as in
dividuals; we were efter the water
We said it wus bad, and we stick to
it. We did not then know what was
the matter with it, or who was to
blame for it, but we knew the people
are paying for good water and were
not getting it and said so, in sub
stance. We have looked into it since,
however and find that it all comes
from a probibly unexpected source,
ror which the officials, v hoever else
may be, are doubtless not to blame.
A gentleman who understands the
trouble, informs us that the large
terra coJta piping that brings the
water from the main stream passes
directly under where the phosphate
mills stood, and that the mills had in
them when they were burned down
rectntly, about on hundred tons of
ac.d. This, of course, was left on the
earth iu the debris of the fire, and
when the rain came a few days ago,
some of this acid was dissolved and
found its way into thes pipes and
coming in contact with the iron in
the city piping, it formed sulphate of
Iron, or coperas, which, though not
dangerous, does not taste very good
The rain we had since the fire, was
light or doubtless we should have
had much more complaint of the wa
ter. When the rains of the approach
ing winter se1: in we shall have a full
supply of copperas water unless our
water works people just take the
pipes up and move them away from
the bed of acid. Indeed this will
have to be done, as it will no doubt
effect the water for yearsj.for 100 tons
of acid will last a long time. And in
moving the pipes it would be well to
remember that it will gradually
spread to considerable distance.
We make the suggestion that they
move the pipes, if possible before any
more rain falls, as they will no doubt
be compelled to do so sooner or later.

THE KILLING OF BROWN.
Winston Sentinel.
Mr. W. H. Allison, or Btatesvtiie, a
brother of Thos Allison, was in the
city today on his war to Dobso-i to
carry home the re-t t ius of his brother
for interment. Bein -i -' "ed by
a representatives of the Sentinel, Mr
Allison gave the following account of
the killing of Brown, which he heard
from a preliminary examination of
witnesses, both for the State and tLe
defence, while he was attending the
recent session of Dobson court:
Tho difficulty began over a foot
race. They were to meet and run
this race but Mr. Brown did not come
to the appointment. Allison met him
later that evening and asked him for
the forfeit of money. They had up a
forfeit. Thereupon Brown made
some insulting remark and then they
went from one word to another until
Brown struck at Allison with his fist,
grazing his had, aad knocking Alii
son from the sidewalk where they
were standing He then followed Al
lison into the gutter. Allison had a
stick in his hand which Brown jerked
awy from him. It was then that
Allison drew his pistol. Brown ad
vanced upon him and struck at him
with the stick, knocking Allison's
hat off.
'It was then that Allison fired the
first shot. He was backing at the
time down the street and warned
Brown not to come any further to
wards him, or he would shoot again
Brown defied the pistol and still ad'
vanced with his stick raised, when
Allison fired the second shot which
pro ed f ita'.

A BAD BREAK.
A doctor, who was treating one of
his patients for a simple but tedious
disorder, found the man io . such an
irritable condition that he began to
cneer mm up. But ins words rell on
deaf ears, for the man had been
-lit n . . . ...
housed up so long that he was firmly
convinced that his time had come.
"Tut, tut," said the doctor. "I'll
have you round again In a few days
if you'll keep quiet and take the med
icine. Why, man, I suffer from the
same complaint as you icyself."
There was a look of compassion fn
the patient's eyes as he reached out
the bottle and said: ..
"In that case, doctor, do take some
of this medicine you prescribed for
me." .
The man had grown almost hope
ful under the influence of the doe
tor's reassuring words, tut his hopes
were cruelly dashed the next moment
as the medic al man drew back from
the bottle with a shudder and repli
ed, "No thanks." Ne fork Even
