ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. DAMMING THE WATERS , The Citizens Righteously Indignant at the SlacK City Government , Tlioy nro Tlrcrt of IleliiK Flooded by the Crook. Tlio rain of Sunday night caused an other overflow of the creek , at the same old place , on the head just nftor it crosses Broadway. During the night the tvalor awopt over the banks and aprcad so tlmt many yards were covered nnd collars lill- od. This has happened several times this year , nnd those living in that vicinity have had their rationco tried to beyond the point of onuuranco. Last spring Mayor Vaughan promised that if the people would only elect him ho would mnko the improvement of Indian Creole the lirat and chief duty to bo performed. How well that promise hna been kept , ( ho irmrslus and mud puddlea canbear _ wit ness. The mayor Buys that it is not his fault , but the council's lack of support of his administration. Aid. James , who BDoms to bo the only aklormanic represen tative of the ward , the other nldorman being . -.t largo most of the tune , says that it ia not his fault. Ho has hnd n aurvoy made of the crook , but the engi neer never reported the aurvoy , and the other alderman do not acorn to be inclin ed to do anything for the Fourth ward. The other uldorman toll the citi/.ons that they should make their complaints to the alderman of their own ward. Thus it ia that while the citizens botncon Hoods are drying out , they got no protection against the next ouo , and no oiUlafuctiou : or the old ones. Yoatorday morning a delegation of the indignant ones were hunting up the ifliciuls , and making ouo last appeal for lielp. The feeling was very bitter nnd the throat was madp that if some thing waa not dona within twenty-four iourathoy would oraanizo and take oomo action which would bring the city govern- nont to a realization of what ita duty waa. L'Jioy propoao among other thiiiga to not only refuse to pay taxes , but to enjoin the city from spending any more money on sewerage on Broadway until aomo way a provided for running the sewerage oil' . They 'do not propose to lot all the drainage - ago of the city bo poured down upon .heir premises. Yoatorduy morning another break was made in the embankment on Union avo- uio , along which the Union Pacific runs ita dummy train. It scorns that the Union Pacific , not content with having gobbled the avo- uuo from the city , paying nothing for it , ots it servo aa a dam to keep water back. Thia was broken through and the water allowed to run off , and preventing the trains from running. It ia understood that the break waa not purely accidental , but as was the ciso a week ago it was liclped along by indignant citizens. BricknoU's ditch is still clogged up. There are some bridges which stand so tow aa to prove obstructions , and a dam haa boon put in near Stewart's packing houso. The citizens insist that the hiiad of the crock must bo cleared at once , that the banks must bo raised nnd the water given a chance to run off in aomo other way than through their houses. In other parta of the Fourth ward there is hardly leas trouble on account of the fact that aomo parta of the strcota and some lots are filled up , while others are atill aa of old. Many fills have been partly washed away , and great puddlea of water stand breeding malaria , cholera , and death. Those who have iillod find their heavy expenditures to have availed little , on account of the places still unfill ed. ed.Mr. Mr. Couch , whoso residence is at the corner of Eighth street and Sixth avenue , is ono of those. Hrt has spent over $1,500 in filling up his lots and making needed charges to conform with the grade , but much of the dirt has been washed into Sixth avenue , which the city ins left unfilled , and his now mada 'round haa bcon so honey-combed that Sunday night part of the collar founda- , ion of his houao gave way , doing much damage. A few daya ago a few wagon loads of dirt were hauled in at the eamo corner to i.itcli up the incline loading from the illod port of Sixth avenue to the unfilled lart. Sunday night HO much moro was iwept away that it will now take twenty oiida to make it BO that a team can paea hero. Ono gentleman in taking hia wife homo in a buggy Sunday night got stuck in the mud right near Bayliaa Park , and actu- illy had to wade out , and lenvo the buggy standing there all night. Such instances are common in tlmt part of the city. The collars alony lower Main atrcot are Hooded. Several lots are allowed to remain unfilled hero , and lots , too. owned by such notables aa Judge Aylosworth and Pat Lacy , who are abundantly able to fill them. 11 fill KHtnto Traiml'orH , COL-.VCIL BLUKFH , July 28,1881.

Milwaukee beer is import ed by the carload , nnd moro prescriptions nro issued in n single day now than in n month previous to the 4th of July.

CHAT WITH SH15UIDAN. fliixt Ilallronil Vnrn llln Fninoiin Itliln IJCO'H L"iM Uituli. National Tribune. The writer called the attention of Gen. Sheridan , the other day , to a story that s going the rounds of the newspapers , o the effect that when ho and S > , o. Lin coln worn going to Siiidusky on their iahing excursion last May they boarded ho limited express on the Pennsylvania ailroad ; that the conductor refused to ocognizo their passes ; that they refused o pay ; that ho threatened to put them off , and that they finally paid and re- ) ortcd the matter to the president of the nad , who wrote thorn an apology and ro unded the monoy. The general laughed and said it was a 'cry interesting atory , but waa not exact- y true in aomo of the ccsential points. "Wo did go to Sanduaky , " ho anid 'that much ia true and wo did have lasses ; but wo d'dn't board the limited express or any other train on the Ponn- ylvania road , for that line does not go to Sanduaky. Wo went by the way of the 3 , ltimoro & 0hio ; the conductor didn't cfuso to recognize our passes , but ac cepted thorn nnd treated ua with the ; reatcst courtesy. Ho didn't threaten to mt usof.and I didn't pay him'any monoy. ! didn't write to the president of the oad , r.nd didn't receive an apology from iliu. Otherwise the story is truo. " NO lll'NUOMME FOU HIM. Getting back to army reminiscences , I asked the general if it was true that ho icvor issued an encouraging order to hia aoldiers before an engagement , or a con- ; ratulatory ono aftor. "Only once did I do auch a thing , " ho oplied , "and that was when I waagrcon. [ t waa nftor the battle on Missionary llidqo , and then I congratulated the > oys on the good work they did. But hero waa too much of that sort of bolishncss in the war , and I didn't care about ( sharing it. My soldiers didn't need that sort of thing , you know , and 1 don't bolicvo in bumcombo in or out of hia army. " 1 know that the men realized as well as I the importance ot their duty , and they know that I believed in .hem ; so , you see , it wasn't necessary. L'hey shared with mo the joy of a victory , and wouldn't have fult bettor about it if 1 had issued n thousand or- [ era. Then , ngain , you know , the larg est number of buncombe orders vreru ia- uod by uiiBUcccaaful commanders to cover their failures and divert attention rom defeat. " It may bo aaid of Sheridan that , while bw goneraln wcro so much talked about luring the war , ho never blow hia own lorn. Ho waa never what ia HO called a 'paper general ; " never announced what 10 was going to do , mullJJnovor boasted iftor ho diu it. After hia last campaign , which crushed the tottering rebellion , ho would have bcon pardonea for at least ouo triumphant pean of victory , but ho did not nvon takupart in the grand review - view ut Washington. IIo modestly un- ( addled his horao and took the cara for I'uxaa without so .iiuch as a word\jf farewell - well or congratulation to the country ere o the army he had so successfully com- nandcd. lll'MI.VIHUKNCKS Ol' I.KB'H HUUHKNIIKH. The general tolls n very interesting itory about that last campaign against Liuo , and the incidents of the surrender. It will bo remembered t at ho headed off Leo nt Appomaltox court house , and captured cloven trninn of supplies which yore waiting for him thero. When Leo bund out that ho had no stores or am- nunition for hia army , and that his ro- .rout waa cut oil' , ho sent a llag of truce , which Ouster received and conducted to Sheridan. The two armies laid on their anna waiting for Grant , who waa on hia way to the front. In the meantime Sheridan and nome uf lis stall'started to ride ever toward Ap lomuttox court house , when they were ired upon by a regiment of rebels , half concealed among aomo ur.derbruJi. The general and his party waved their hats toward the place where the shots came from , and made all aorta of demonstra tions to silence the unexpected and mya- torious attack ; but to no purpose. Finally the confederate oflicor who wrought the tUg smd Major Allen , of jhoridnn'a tull , rode over to aeo wliut .ho matter waa. They found a South Carolina regiment whoso colonel , in a grandiloquent tone , informed them that the war wasn't over , and that lie and his regiment did not rocogni/.i ) the authority of General Leo to make terms for peace , "Jio Gawd , air , " exclaimed this gallant Johnny , "South Carolinians never surrender ! " Tilt : LAST ( IA r OP IKK S AllSIV. The two ollicers ( rode back to General Sheridan , who , with his party , had re tired under cover , and reported to him the situation. The general called Ous ter and told him there was ono regiment over in the brush which hndn't gn enough of it , nnd it would bo well fo him to go ever there and "snuir it out. ' Ouster ordered his bugler to souiu "forward , " and at the head of n regimen dashed ncrota the interval which lay between twoon the two nrmloa , which < voro drawn up in long linns nnd stood nt rest , 1 < wnn n beautiful Sunday morning n per- feet spring day- and the sight of that regiment , with Ouster's long tawny halt BS their banner , dashing nt full gallop across the fu-hla , evoked cheers from botli armies. Meantime , Sheridan had roach od the court house , where ho mot Gon. Gordon , recently senator from Georgia , and Gen , Wilcox , who hnd boon his classmate nl West Point , but whom ho hnd not soon for ninny yoars. Wilcox has since boon a door-keopcr of the t'nitcd Stales senate. While this party were sitting on the steps of the court house , chatting fa miliarly ever the situation , heavy mus ketry was heard in the distance. Gordon looked up in anxiety nnd nUrm , nnd nskcd ono of his nids to rldo ever in thai direction and find out what it meant. "Novor you mind , general , " said Sher idan. "It's nil right. 1 know what it means. Custor is ever there having aomo fun with a South Carolinian who never autr t'doro.1 liv.rd' n insisted on Bonding the ofilcor to atop tiii' light , but before ho got there .ho coloni'i had presented Cutter with n cry-much buttered sword. It was the ast gasp of the nriny of northern Vir- UK si-our. "INJUN. " I showed the general another nownpa- lor atory , which represented that ho waa amiliar with several Indian langnngo ? , uul that when ho wont among the rod nen lin never required the services of an nterprotor. " 1 wish It waa true , " ho rcapoudcd ; 'but it'a only ono of the in my fictimn hat have been printed nbout mo in the wpers. 1 don't know why people got up huso ynrna , " ho aaid , "mill it'a very provoking to bo compelled to con- eea tlmt ono lacks nccomplmhmonta that nro universally attributed to him. The only Indian language 1 know ia the Chi- look , a dialect that ia used by all the .ribea on the Northern Piicilic slope , a aott of court langungo which ia used in ; reat councils. All the tribes understand t , and converse together in that exclu sively when they meet in great pow- VOVTS. 1 learned it when I was serving aa n lieutenant up in Oregon before the wnr , and have lorgotten moat of the vords ; but thoao dialects are easily ncked up when ono has once learned horn. " TllKTUl'l ! STOllY OK THAT FAMOI'H Itlltll. Referring to the poem of "Shoridau'a Hide , " I asked him if ho had over mot the author. "Yen , " ho replied ; " 1 know him well. . first mot him before the battle of Stone liver. Ho waa a guest at the hondqu.ir- tora of Gon. lloaoncrana , and staid with is a good whilo. " "Do you know how ho happened to vritoiU' "Yea , I have hoard him toll about it n ; rcat many times. There tire n number of stories floating around but 1 will give you the true one , aa Read told it to me. Tames K. Murduck suggested the idea. " "Murdock the elocutionist/ / " "Yea , ho waa an actor at ono of the Cincinnati theaters nt the time and n ; roat friend of mine. Ho lost n neil at ho battle of Missionary Ridge Murduck lid and came down there to get the jody. The cnomy occupied the place where the boy wna buried , and the old man remained there a gueat at my head- quartcro. IIo used to ride the bluck horao Itichard , that was afterward called Win chester , nnd became very fond of him. Things were very exciting down there md Murdock saw a great deal of war. Sundays lie always recited poems to the troopa around headquarters and there was a good ono of Browning's that was a great favorite with the ooldicrs ami wo never lot him oil' without reciting it. t was the ride from Ghent to Aix you remember it. "Well , after the battle of Cedar Creek hero naa published in Harper's Weekly a atory of my ride from Winchester , and a picture of moon the black horse Ricnzi. Uurdock saw it and took it up to Road , uggoating that it was a good thoino for a loom. Murdock had just seen nn otlicor rho wan there , and guvo him a dcscrip- ion of the affair , nnd Rend jumued at ho idea. IIo dhut himself nn in hia oem , wrote the poem that afternoon , md hia wife make n copy , and Hunt it ever to Murdock'a house as soonna it wna .ono , to HCO how lie liked it. Murdock vns very much pleased , nnd thut night end the poem nt the theatre between the eta. eta.HI HI : rmsTHAW IT IN TIIK MSWHCATKIUI. "So it got into the nowapaponi , where first nnw it.
