COMNECTING PIPES IN THE SECOND WARD. Mr. Jones, from the and means committee, epoca bil. authorizing the connection of cer- ‘water ar in the Ward with the government in. Mr, Lloyd thought it would be better for the committee to a general bill to meet the wants of the entire city. Mr. al sosion’ Sem ae at not for the ee of su) vate , but to con- nect with the ote nydrmsee and insure to the People of the Ward a supply of water at times when, under the present arrangement, they would, in some localities have to go some four or five squares for it. Mr. Powell thought the bill would do very well for the summer time, when, in the month of Au- gust the springs were nearly dry ; but now there was no necessity as the water was actually runnirg away at the spring. He thought the Late would be to save the nt waste water, which is pure and good for all purposes, while ‘by con- netting the pure with the muddy water fa the mains, which is neither fit for.drinking or cook- ing, and hagdiy for washing, the entire sapply would be spoiled. Mr. Jones said the object of the bill was to pre- pare for the necessity alluded to. He thought the water in the pipes drinkable, as It was in the department. ir. Wallace hoped the committee would not neglect other wards. There are pipes also in the Fifth Ward. Mr. Joues. “Make your amendment. Now is the proper time.’ Mr. Bohrer moved to amend by providing that if the Water be used for other than public pomps, the pertics msing it shall pay the assessed water tax. The subject was referred to the drainage committee. A resolution offered by Mr. Wilson, requesti the committee to bring in a bill for the general distribution of the water, was adopted. THE GAS COMPANT AND TUE GUARD-HOUSE. Mr. Jones, from same conunittee, reported a Vill from the Aldermen for the purchase of lot 7 in square 382, with the improvements, and to fit up the sume for a guard-hoase. Mr. Tree. from the minority of that committee, reported that the propesition lacked economy. In order to the purchase and proper arrangement of the lot and mnprovements an outlay of 213,000 Will be required, and the appropriation falls short $3.0. ‘The minority are of opinion that a snit- able building can be erected for $3,u00; and the reservation between Tenth street west and B street nerth. belonging to the Corporation, might be ap- plied to that purpose. The committee reported a bill for that purpose. Mr. Wallace favered the minority report on the around of economy. arguing that the saving by erecting a building for this especial purpose would be more than anticipated, when it is considered that the site already belongs to the city. But, to ke sure of a suitable building, he would sug- st the appropriation of $5,000, or so much of it ote igned for the Th Mr. Wilson ai the majority report. The building is already there. and ali that se cic sary was so pat itin oy ad order for use. Mr, Lioyd contended for the economical view of the minority. Mr. Orme argued vehemently in favor of the majority report, defending its expediency and economy in recommending the old zas-house site. and asked where the city owned a foot of ground in that neighborhood. Mr. Tree. There is a reservation there that be- longs to the city Mr. Orme. No. sir! There was a canal basin there, aud it was filled up by the city and became a street. It belongs to the United States. Mr. Castleman thought the appropriation of ‘&-.000 for the gas house would be since the title of the other ground is disputed. Mr. Wallace argued that the title of the city to the reservation is clear, and that, by the use of it for the pur spore’. the saving to the Cor; ration ould bet He less than 210,000. = Mr. Bohrer said he should go for the minority report. This is not the time the Corporation to enter into such speculations. for so he this gas house proposition. The Corporation has not the money to pay its debts; to improve streets; build a market; or improve its schools; and he certainly thought we should pay our debts before we begin to speculate. Mr. Orne. -‘In_ relation to speculation, if the gentleman spoke of his own knowedze we would understand him better. I know that the gas com- Peay was offered more money for that same lot The question being was rejected on the third reading—y nays 12. (Mr. Orme was excused from voting, being a stockholder of the gas company, and interested} Mr. Wailace’s amendment to the minority bill was accepted; and the bill was passed. TME WARD FUND AGAIN. A bill having been reported by the improvement Commnittee for the improvement of Seventh street, from Maryland avenue to the Potomac, the expense to be defrayed out of the ioe ae fun ae Mr. Orne opposed the bill apon ground o} economy The city is in ho condition to euter upon ti improvements.

Mulloy was amused to hear the gentleman speak of the representatives of the ‘Third Ward. the has done as mach to di the representa- tivesas he could, not of that ward onty, but of other wards. They were there to represent the wants of the people without asking the Mayor what be thinks about it. Their duty was to in- quire into the nevessitics of the people and propose what was needfal. If the Mayor refuses to sign the bills it is not their fault. Let us pass the bills, and if the Mayor refuses to sign them, tet him bear the blame Mr. Lloyd said the geritleman from the Second Ward changed his views as often as a weather- cock its direction, and his economy to-night was one of these changes. The gentleman during the past four years has never Ny ee one improve- ment ia Second Ward on the ground of econe- my, and the Ward indebtedness; but op; them in ail other Wards. Now, the Second and Seventh Wards have been in debt for several years according to the returns. When the other Vards ask an improvement he refers to the returns te shew that the Wards are in debt; but when the same objection is made with reference to his Ward, his reply is “Ob. we was then. but we ain't in debt now! And how do we know it ain't mow.” Mr. Lloyd argued that the im- nt was of no benetit to the citizens of the atively; but the necessity for it grew out of its use by the eity merchants, hotel proprie- tors. &c., kc..and it consequently being a general convenience. should be reg asa general im- provement, and paid for out of the general fund fre moved te atuend by striking out the Ward fond and inserting general fund. Mr. Lloyd's amendment was rejected by a vote of 6 yeas to 12 nays; and the bill passed.

It was argued that special ivileges shoald net be given, when the object of Government was general distribution of the Potomac water throaghout the city; and again, members were warned to be pen think upon the possibility of their prese: slation upon this subject embarrassin; their future action the laws for the general distribution. ‘The bill was slightly amended and pase d — Tur sopy of 3 young man_named Grey, who was drowned in the Potomac, near fhe Washing- ton Monument, on ame se genyr ion found about 10 b’eleck this me ~ by th persons who were d-agging the river for it with a gill net As we go to press the body is lying ina beat at Fourteenth street bridge, awaiting an inquest by the Coroner. Cansran Covrt—A Hung Jury in a torn Shirt Case.—Up to the adjournment of the Court yester- day, the jury in the case of the United States agt. James McFall, wherein the defendant was accused of resisting Officer in the discharge of his duty, had “not ports verdict. We give an dome of the evidence which was brought out in the course of the trial that our readers may ap- preciate the merits of the case : It seems that Officer Lloyd was charged with a commitment to the work-house against a man named for non-payment of a Cor, tion fine, and he according! to the stable of McFall, where ley was employed. to execute his commission. Arrived there, hen . Lloyd repli that he had come for the money in payment of the fine, or else he must take Bearddiey away with him. McFall ordered the officer to leave his prem- ises, 2 also told him to leave. The officer saw that was a disposition to resist bin, and he immediately walk: up to Beards} and seized him by the collar. deck, sad. Meret mx W — seized jeavored m away from the officer, who retained his holds and thereby Beardsley his shirt torn. Officer Shipley, who was at a house a short distance off, then came up and inter- fered, and Beardsley was taken away. This is the sum and substance of the whole case, except that Beardsley, on being examined for the defence, after testifying that he not attempt to resist the officer, ac! that it was w! he pulled away that his shirt was torn. In the case of Thomas Lh arg Jas. Barry, Samuel ray alias John ley, and Patric Kelly, alias trick Fitzgerald, charged with riot, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The Court then heard the arguments of counsel for the sureties of one Joseph W.

Mr. Norris Sj oe de the tence, and was replied to by the District Attorney, who ay c= to be willing to extend the time of ball, but not to exonerate entirely. Mr. Norris will have the rejoinder this morning, when the Court will decide on the motion. This morning, the jury in the c: f McFall, returned a verdict of guilty us indicted. . Two little cases were submitted to the Court and disposed of. Charles T. Griffin, ‘a member of the Auxiliary Guard.) was then tri for an assault and battery ond met B. Watling. on the occasion of a false alarm of fire which had called out the company to which Walling belonged. The case was pend- ing when our report closed. Aw Inpian Dance.—Yesterday, near dark, the Winnebagoes now at the Juniata House, (Four- and-a-half street, near Pennsylvania avenue.) amused the denizens of that quarter and the passers-by with a genuine Indian dance, on the farrow tico of the house. Many hundreds collected speedily to listen to their bat by no means inharmonious singi beating, and to see them -- whirl about, and turn about, and jump Jim Crow.” One old codger of them, as his spirit waxed warm with the excite- tent of the occasion, suddenly dropped the blanket that he had held up around his hannches; which act served as a signal for the instant dis- pepe of most of the female portion of the mot- cy erowd standing gaping below. The old fel- low, and his brother red-skins, seemed to enjoy ‘the result of Lis practical joke amazingly. When that embareassing incident of the entertainment occurred —which, by-the-by, not being down in the bills. was quite unexpected to those not au fait in Indian danées—the vah-yebs! of the colored damsels, as they vamosed the ranch, rang clear and loud above the who-whos and you-yous of their copper-colored brethren. Excerston ATHENxUM.—Ata regular meeting of this prosperous Literary Association, held on last Tuesday evening, at Potomac Hall, corner of Maryland avenue and Thirteenth street, (Island,) exercises of a very interesting and instructive character took place.

He declares that when he re- ceived notice of the coming of Jenkins into his enclosure, he earnestly dissuaded him; that when the entrance wes made he was fired at three times before he retarned the fire; that .when he @id he only used shot, and he ‘-appeals to Almighty God for the truth” of his statement, that he bad no intention of killing Jenkins, but expected only to knock hin down and disable him. He reiterated his determination of remaining in private life, and referring to the charges brought against him by his enemies say: “So Jong as it affords those indulging in them either pleasure or profit, let them howl until their very throats crack. My history is before the people of Kansas, and to their will I cheerfully submit.” 7 In New York, on Tuesday morning, Mr: Henry G. Smith, of Gilbertsville, Otsego coun- ty. attempted to kill himself on the Jersey City ferry boat. He plunged a penknife into his throat. just grazing the jugular vein. He isa fine looking, gentlemanly man. In a letter found upon him, addressed to his wife and child, he de- plores his needy condition. The gentleman failed during the late financial crisis, and has since been employed as a runner for a dry goods store. The absence of Lis wife seems to have added to the de- pression of his spirits. He will recover, and bis friends hope be saved for future usefulness. 7 In the boarding-house poisoning case, in New York, the coroner's inquest was not con- cluded at last accounts. ‘The theory at present is that Margaret Burke put oxalic acid in the coffee, not knowing its poisonous qualities. She was in the habit of cleaning brasses with it. The testi- mony of a physician showed that Mr. Fayette Robinson had a disease of the kidneys and liver, and that be died of apoplexy superinduced by the presence of a poison.
