Hope, Health Officer for tili? eiiy; Mr. L. C. Briusou, obuirnian of the \\ u'.er COuiuiittee, aud Chief Engineer ?V. T. Itobiueou would eall upou Mr. Colcroan, tbe superintendent o( tbo water company, aud require bim to uleuu out tbo reservoir iu ord?r tbat tbe water might be belttr. Tbese gentlemen mot Mr. Coleuiau und Mr. VYurd, tbe president of tbe couipauy, by upppoiutuieut at 1 ::>l) p. iu. yoater day at tbu water conipauy'B office. Mr. Brinson before going there, got tbe water couttaet aud tbeu consulted tbo City Attorney iu regard to what tbe uuuiuiittee could do. After getting advice frum bim tbe geutleiuau met tbe Water Committee ae stated above. Their lirt>t request was that tbe reservoir be cleaned out. To this Mr. Coleruuu replied that it could not bo done uuless tbe city would take the ribk of tires (or at loust sixty hours, as it would take forty sight hours to pump the reservoir out aud .till it agaiu, and that it would take at least twelve hours tu elcau it. To this proposal the Cbief Engineer would uot give bis consent. The com mitten then wanted to know why a bituilar connection could uot be made the same as tbere was before the reser? voir was built. Mr. Colman replied at tbat time there was only about 3,000 galloua of water used daily; now tbere are over 300,000 used. If the connec? tions were made the pipes between Portsmouth aud Suffolk would not stand tbe pressure tbat would huve I to be put on them, bb they I are made of thin iron, but it is the in teutiou of theoumpany to replace these with heavier ones boou. He said that the company would raise the pipe through which the water passes from thrui from tbu bottom ot the reservoir anil the same thing in tbe lakes and that possibly that would do considerablo good. Ho further eaid that the water iu Suffolk wasmuoh worse than it was in Portsmouth. Mr. Brinson then asked what oausetl it. Mr. Colemau eaid he thought that it was ouused by tbo decomposition of vegetable matter in the lake. Mr. iirinsou tbeu wauted to know why this had not occuricd before, as the city lies boon using the water binoe April, 1888, and thero hat been no cause for complaint, but ou tbe other baud continued praiso. Tho company could give no unswor. He suid the oompany was willing to do all they could to remedy the evil but jufct where to begin they do uot know, unless the improvements nieu tionetl remedies tbu evil. Tbuy claim that their stund pipe, one hundred fset high, will be ready lor use by October let, and then tboro will be no cause (or complaint. That tbe water il pure no out- dieputee, but (or the past mouth it bad tasted bad and had an unpleasant odor to it. Tbe cuntract says that the water com? pany shall (uruish tho city with good, pura and wholetouie water Itum Lake Kiiby, and that it ehull be at all times as pure us tbat in tbe lake. Mr. Brinson will visit Lake Kilbj to? day to get a Biwuplo of the water and bring it back with him, and if it is (otiud tu be better than that furnished tbe city tbe company will be required to comply with the contract immediate? ly or forfeit the same, Tbe question o( tbo water is stirring the people up generally, a number be? lieving that it is unhealthy, and have refused to either drink or use it. It is to the company's interest to remedy thin evil ae soou as possible. WHAT nOlTOlt hope ua.s To say ABOUT TUB WATER, The Virginian representative oalled upon Dr. P. S. Hope, health officer, lust night to aeo what he had to say iu regard to tho condition of the city water. In answer to onr question aa to bis opinion of the water to the health of the city be said that he did not consider that the water was in jtirous to tbe health, but that it was very unpleasant to the olfactory, but tbere was uo telliug what might come, It ho oould trace oue case of aick uuss to it or if he should at any other time do bo he would make immediate demands that the reservoir should be cleaned and all other stops that was necessary to improve tho water be taken. Ho hoped tbat tho improvements promised by tho biipermteudeut as slated above, which will be made tu day, will have the desired effect, but if that doos not, then the reservoir will have to bo emptied and tho city take tho ohanoes of tires, etc, during that time. He did not (eel willing to issue any peremptory order yet, because he saw no cause (or any alarm. It is truo, ho said, the water is not what it has boou. The coaipany ad? mits tbat and uro williug to do all they can to remedy il, said he. However, I am iu tbe fight to stay, aud if the proposed improvements do not have tbo desired effect, as Health Offi? cer 1 will act iu tbat capacity and make suob demands as are necessary.

The "great crlmo of 1878," by which the silvor dollar was "stealthily" and "fraudulently" demonetized, is, like all the other free silver fads, a mere flotion. As the official records of con? gress show, the measure was considered and defeated from time to time through four sessions of congress until it was finally passed. The cause of free silver is so had that its champions are inca? pable cf presenting auy truths in its fa? vor, aud hence their resort to romance. ? Philadelphia Record.

Wednesday evoning at about 4:80 Umpire Bond called play ball with our boys at the bat, and what they did for thoso nine little Franklin Kildces was indeed refreshing Ioub and surprising to them. Who would have thought that our boys could succeed in capturing aud picking the vory last feather from thoso much talked of Kil dees, but nevertheless, it is a fact, for in the three times that our boys wore at tho bat, thoy knocked out eighteen runs, while all the little Kildeea could do with Makely, our boy pitoher, was to secure three eggs to take home with them. They did not hit the ball but for one safe hit. Mills started in to pitch for the visi? ters and was batted out and gave way to Mr. llryan, who fared worse, for our boys had a good eye and simply smashed the ball out iu the field for one, two and three baggors. While this was going on in tho beginning of the fourth with our hoys at the bat. Mr. Dauiole, our catoher, was on third base, the ball was batted aud scoured by a fielder aud thrown to Mr.Kimbail, the Franklin catcher, to cut off Mr. Daniels, who was running in home at full speed. Mr. Ivimball secured the ball and got dirootly in front of Mr. Daniels, 1 consequently there was a collision, and Mr. Kimball was knocked down. This seemed to make the little Ktlldees ashy and they refused to play longer, con? sequently the game was won by Rdeuton, Score, 18 to 0. Umpire, J, C. Bond.
