The city engineer , J. I' Hiodbeek , has
made a report on the Indian creek cwcr
ditch , in which he .tys :
"The condition of suid ditch now is a
clear rind unobstinctcd channel , except
ing piling under i.'il\\n.y biidge , from
1'ifth a\cnnc south ton po'int about Ilirie-
fouilhs of u mile sonlhweslcily of the
city limit" , at which pc lit t ic same inns

but without fall , however , to thi" point
from a point about one Irilf mile noith of
the city limits. Tlio oiiginal inti ntion
wn" lo make the point at Die city limits
eleven feet above the plane of iclercnee ,
and at Hto.uluny liftecn fent , iiiaking a
fall of two feet per mile , but in coiisc-
( picnco of what is known as the ' hort
cut' across the fields lo the lake not
having been fully decided upon I ran the
level from slid p olnt one-half mile noilh
of Ibe city limits in order to do as little
work as possible oulli of aid limits until
the route was finally adopted
The distance to the lake acio s
fields equals about ono and one-
eighlh mile.s , and by way of
slungh through sections II. 15 , i2 ! ami L'7 ,
nearly four niilcs. I'levalion of water in
lakes December 1(5 ( , IS , equalled ' . ' .5
feet. Klevation of river at piobablo in-
tcrscclion via slough , about 1.0 feet. Ex-
cayalion by shoit cut with a cio-s section
of hay ( ! feet on bottom , slope ono foot to

fall of' ' ! feel per mile , equals about Id-
000,000 cubic .vaids This tall would In-
tei'scct the lake at an elevation of about

Taking in consideiation the ilillerenee ol

In the disliiel eomt ycsterd ly Miles
IMullen was found guilty of stealing Ir.
Mitchell's hor.-c.
Tlic grand jury relumed an indictment
against Jerry liitcbic , the joung man
who is said to have pm Joined so miicli
dm ing the years of his employment in
Uushnell's store. The case has attracted
a good deal of attention as the young
man is so well known here , and thcie has
been many comments on the lact that be
has not been prosecuted bcfoie. It is
piedicled thai il will be dillicnlt lo piovo
grand larceny against him , although
theieseoms _ little doubt but thai his pe
culations amounted in the course of years
to seveial bundled dollars. Tliodinicul-
ly is said to bo thai these amounts were
taken a litllo at a time , and that it will
be dillicull lo prove that he took moro
tli in ' , ' 0 at any one time. It is claimed
that he will h.uo to be tried on ono at a
lime , and that the most that can be done
is to find him guilty ot petit laieeny.
One charge titter another of this kind
could be ptoseciitod , lint it is not likely
that ihi com so would bo pin sued tor .my
great length of time. An ellbi t w as be"
mg make ycsleida\ secure bail for him
and thus get him out of jail.

Canning l-'jutory Tor
It seems pretty well settled now that
Council Bbill's will soon hae located
hero ono of the laigest canning manufiic-
tones in the slalo. Persona inlorostcd
from elsowherohavo been in consultation
with clti/ens hero , and as a result of the
contoronces , it has boon decided to go
ahead with the aiiangcmcnls tor starting
such an enterprise hero. It Is understood -
stood that the parties coming hero will
invest if 18,000 , and Unit if 7,000 moro will
bo invested eili/.ens hero , making tlio
capital $ . . ' 5,000. Tliu intention ib lo put
npwoiks at once , and to can tomatoes
and corn next niimmer , with the proba
bility of adding m the winter season
facilities for c.uiiiing meat. Tl.o capacity
of the works will bo such that from sixty
to ono hundred persons will be employed ,
It is hoped that this will bo but the be
ginning of a boom in manufacturing for
lids city. Council Itlulls needs factories
of all kinds , and the citi/uua seem so
thoroughly nrou = odnnd , so much in earn
est that never before has there s etm-d
such strong probabilities of the city
securing several such enteipiiscs within
the conunp vcor.

INCIDENTS OF LIFE UNDER WATER
An Olil KiiKlncciHolnlei Some of
His r\potleiico < \\luH the
Olilnaineii Saw.
"Life under water monotonous , eh *
Well , I guc s nol. At least I don't find il
so. I've been there fourteen jears and
on , and have always mummed to , find
enough to oceup.v mj limeand altenlion. "
The speaker was an engineer on ono of
Ihe great ocean -IcnmcK , and as beinndu
that remnik lo a New Yoik Tiibnno ic-
porlcr , while standing on the pier , before
Ins vessel , he readjusted his loose Jiloiise
with an nwkvvaid jerk , and gave bis head
n confident twitch.
"A fellow needn't lei time Ing on him
anywhere if he onl.v has hi * e. > es open , "
he'added. ' 'Now , to some It would seem
almost unbearable lo VMitch Ihe conlinn-
oils throb of the machinery of a large
steamer and hear nothing but the ever
lasting 'click , click'of tlie piston rods
nnd levers but lo me they all sound like
music I've become paitly dulled nnd
insensible to them , but even now 1 often
sit 'till and watch and ll tcn to their
nev er varying beats with that sol t of sat
isfaction which a musician feels when he
inns his lingcis mechanically
jet skilfully over the keys
of hisiustintncnt. Ills satisfaction aiiscs
from the fact thtit he has the instrument
cnliiely undur his own control , and mine
comes' fiom a similar cause. With a
touch of m.v linger 1 could propel thou
sands of tons at almost any speed
thiongh tlie water , or send a bundled
lives into eternity. Indeed ; I feel that 1
am the sole responsible party on board
lor the lives of Ihe passenger- , and il ic-
mains with me to keep mv , , nniclrincij in
such perfect condition as to withstand
any otdinary sea or lough stoim.
' 'And again I take pride in keeping
everything around me shiningbkc burn-
i-hcil gold. It a spot of gic.xsc or dill
gets on the rods 01 handles of any pail of
lilt machinery il cannot escape my no
tice long. 1 go over ev cry piu t of the en
gine loom twice a day , and nib the brass
and steel rods with as much plcasmo as
though 1 owned the steamer myself. I
Mmictimes amiiao myself in keeping a
iccoid of ( he number of mile j we run an
hour and comparing it with the rccoids
of pi ovions trips , i have on a book in
the engine-loom a curious table of dates
and lignies , which shows to me the ex
act lime for eermile made by difl'ercnt
steamers which J have cn < rinccicl acro-s
the ocean for Iho last foul teen yeai- . If
anything mole than Usual occurs I jot it
down opposite the date , and so make a
dairy ot it. It speaks volumes to mo ,
and recalls mnn.v interesting memories.
For In-tanee , J was looking thioiigh it
the other di.and . I found opposite Nov.
1(1 ( , 1875 , a leleience to a visit fiom Chi
namen. The incident was recalled to
my mind in a moment , and I laughed
hcnitily o\cr it to mv-clf. This is what it
meant. One day while lying in poit
woweic visited b.v several Chinamen
who weio anxious to inspect the ship.
They were an ignorant scl , anil had
never seen any maeiiinery vvoikcd bv
steam. The captain was a good-natured
fellow and allowed them to como below ,
although they expciicnccd some doubts
as to the advisability of-o doing. They
vveio very timid , and it took some-time
foi me lo convince them that the niaelnn-
civ was harmless. Finally 1 got two of
them to come close to tlic heavy diiving
iod , which you know on : i lingo vessel is
an cnoinio'us piece of iron. .Suddenly
witboul warning , il gave n slart loiwaid ,
and , accompanied by a loud
pull'of steam , leaped fully ten feel
above our beads. Angry at my assistant
for Idling on steam without my knowl
edge , I turned to speak to him when my
attention was atlracled toward the stair
way. The last two Chinamen of the p.u-
ty 'were making frantic endeavors lo \
lump up half a do/en slops at a time.
The test had di-.ippcurcd , and before I
could gel on deck the whole crowd had
got into their boat and stalled for Iho
shore. No amount of pel.suasion could
ever get them to return to that ship
which they claimed was alive. Il was ii
mean tiick. but it has aflbidcd me many
good , laugh .since. "
KING FARO'S EXILt. .
Felony Acts and Heavy Fines Too
Much for the Tcrrlhlo Tifjer.
Cincinnati Jonquil er : "The anti-
gambling wave , " remarked an old spoil ,
as lie biaccd himself in a Vmostiect
doorway , has pretlv tbotoughly swept
o\or tins country. I suppose there , is less
gambling-that is , on tins caid-table
than there has been for half a century.
Gambling , there always will bo. It is a
kind of necossiiry evil , and if people can't
gamble ono way they'll find another
This criisiulo against the tiger started
over in Missonii when they they got the
felony bill through the legislatiuc. The
faio Kings laughed , and thought it would
bo n dead letter. Then Atlanta
opened on the boys , and diovo
every ono of them out ot
town. Atlanta , Memphis and Nashville
bad always been good gambling centers ,
and in ante-bellum days the wt.illhv
plantcis used lo win and lose their thoii
sa.ids a night We thought we weie
sin oof Nashville and Memphis ,
Clotty first thing wo knew a bill was in-
liodueed in the Tennessee logNulme

Boston ( Jlobe ; Speaking of Toombs
reminds me of tlitj number of quarrels
be had in the senate with Hen Wade ,
and nt one time especially , when lie came
very near having a duel. The home
< -t"ad bill was under discussion , nnd
Tootnlx had referred to it with a iieor
ns a measure for white paupers when
Wade are c and said "Sir , you sneer nt
the homestead bill betau e il gives land
to the landles * . do joii ? What is your
pet scheme ? Hujing Cuba , * ej/iiip ne-
groe < for thene ioclcs1 We will go to
tlio country upon it. " Shortly after this
\ \ ademade a speech in which lie need
Inngimce which almol , npnareidly ,
compelled Toombs to challenge him.
Several fi tends of Wade went to him
and bcgsred him lo dcsiM , but the old
man went on until Toombs announced
his intention of Inking him to account.
Upon this Wade quietly sal down , and
the soutliein men looked at each other in
.surprise , as it was evident he had tiled
to provoke a quarrel with a ( Jeorgia liie-
eater J'hat night a friend of Toombs , a
senator of the United States , called
upon Waije to know if lie would redact
the offensive vvoids he hnd med.
"No , I won't take back n word , " was
Wade's emphatic response.
"Then , " said the ft lend of Mr Toombs ,
"Senator Toombs will challenge on to
nun till combat. "
"This is just what 1 want , and ho
might got to this point without all ibis
palaver. "
"Von cannot be in earnest , Mr. Wade , "
said the senator.
' Ve , I am , and for a reason Wo
noitheiners do not want to light. Iain
npposed to Ihe code , and so : uc my con
stituents , but .you fellows broke Simmer's
head , nnd if we don't spunk up a litlle
you will break nil ourheads. Tneshoit-
esf way to end the matter is to kill oil'a
few ofj'ou. I have picked out Toombs
as my man. He will have lo challenge
mo ; Ihen , ef com so , I will have the choice
of weapons , and I will lake down my old
title , and me if 1 don't bring" him
down at the llrst crack. "
This conversation was reported to
Toombs , and he replied : "I can't chal
lenge him. if I do no will kill me. " lie
then told his ' cmitcni'il fiiends that he
and Wade had been putlogethershooting
with n tilic seveial times , and that while
he ( Toombs ) could hoot well with n pistol
tel , ho was a poorrille shot. Wade was
an old hunter , and ( onld Minll a candle
at a bundled yaids.
Wade , in speaking of this afterward ,
aip : "If old Toombs bad challenged mo
