Babs hopes to have the water in two or three days. The delay » caused by heavy blasting required in making the trench between the reservoir and Georgetown, but that ie now nearly finished, a few more sections of pipe only having to be pat im. To-day workmen were en, in putting a stop cock in the new main just above Foundry branch, and, as soon as that is finished, the water will beturned on. Although the connec- tion with the new 36-inch main has not been made at the reservoir it can be used, as the old S-ideh and 12-inch mains bring down a vi pply as far as Foundry branch, and at the new main waeconnected with the old ones several days§ago when the water was turned off; hence the sippy brought down by the old mains can be emptied in the new one at the branch, and from thence come to the city through al! the pipes. At Rock creek the new Main i again cross-connected with the old ones and whe. the new main is filled the pressure comes & all. The cross connections through- out the ¢ soon be made, though. asstated in Tne Star a short time ago, it will not be neces-ary % make these connections before the new main is filled, asthe water can be shut off for one or two squares at atime while making these connections. It is expected that the whole work, including the connection at the reservoir, will be a by the first of July, and the new maim filled entirely by thattime. At anv rate. by the diret of next week the enpply will | be greatly increased by the Foundry branch connection, as above stated, and the residents of the northern part of the city and Capitel Hili will no longer have any cause of complaint. When the reservoir connection is made it may Te necessary to again turn off the water for 2 few hours only, anc it will probably be on San- day, 20 as no inconvenience may be occasioned. ———————— A Mertine or TaxvaYersin favor of Coun- cilman Gray’: bill in reference to the collection of special taxes, was beid last evening at Union League Hall, James L.

Mr. Piper addressed the House in favor of breaking down afi barriers, ali judice, and comrencing at the normal school. He claimed that in iess than five years the people of the District will forget that any prejudice existed among them. Mr. Choate opposed the substitute, and urged that while the colored people had a high school and the op) ‘ities of a high school at How- ard University, the white population had no such privilege. ‘The substitute would require the expenditure of at least $100,000, while the original bill would require but a small amount. He would go as far as anybody in voting in the interest ot the colored people, but, as the trus- tees of colored schools received a proportion of all moneys appropriated for schools, he thought that they asked too much in claiming equal privileges in # normal school in addition fo their proportion of the amount expended for the schools, Mr. LeBarnes defended the substitute, claim- ing that it contemplated the renting of buildings t mporarily, and it did not require so large an expenditure as was claimed. At considerable length he urged the adoption of the substitute as u matter of justice to the colored race. : Messrs. Boswell and Wall brie‘ly advocated the acoption of the substitute; which was then adopted:—Yeas— Messrs.
