THE REPAIRS TO THE M-STREET BRIDGE, over Rock Creek, were finished to-day, so far ag the strengthening of it is concerned. Two iww trusses have been added by the Pittsburg Bricge Company, making five Instead of three Uusses, and the District authorittes are now putting down a new flooring of North Carolina pine stringers and oak plank floor. Tne stone work has been done by Mr. Henry Himber, contractor, the whole under the superviston of Lieut. F. V. Greene, with Mr. D. E. McComb, civil engineer, fn charge of the work. It 1s thought that it will be open for travel ina few days, and that it will be in all respects a tirst- class bridge, equal in capacity, ag to strengtn, to any in the District. FACTS ANOUT THE FRESHET. Lieutenant F. V.

The average heignt for the district west of 7th street may be taken at 113s feet, and for the area east’ of 7th street at 10%, feet 4. The highest point reached by the water at the mouth of the sewer was 3.25, or over S feet below the flooded district near 7th street.

Risheill to Prof. S. F. Batrd, Fish Commissioner, and the reply of the lattcr in relation to the injurious effects of gas tar in the river upon shad. [ communication letc with the Commissionersupon this subject they say: “It Is desirable that the refuse gas tar manufactured at the Washington gas works be diverted from the Potomac. and they reapect fully ask that. the Commissioners will take such action as will meet the views of Prof. Batrd 1u the Interest of the Potomac fisheries.” ‘The Commissioners said the question was one of importance, and they fully agreed with the delegation that some means should be devised to prevent the introduction of this substance into the river, and would unite with the Alex- ardiia authorities tn anything looking to thls end. AU the full meeting of the board, U papers were referred to the health officer’ with instructions to examine into the subject and Inake such suggestions as he micht think pro- per for a correction of the evil and report. ‘This has been done, and this morning the health oflicer reported to the Commissioners that “the refuse tar and ammoniacal liquor from Wasn- ington gas works are neither of them allowed to eseape into the Potomac, but are conveyed by means of plpes to separate establisuments and ulliized; tne former in manutacuuring gas lar and the Jatter sulphate of ammonia, [thud that the refuse from the Georgetown works Is deposited tn Rock Creek and flows thence into the Potomac. ‘The only way to preveat tls would be to secure utilization of tne material or legislation to prevent its disposal ia thi manner.

MORE AROUT THE REBELLIOUS WIPs OF ?HE MORMON LEADER, Philadelphia Preas, Feb. 17.” About the latter part of 1866 John H. Young was In this city ostens!biy on business for the Mormon community, but in reality with an eye to private ition. Being a man of genial and entertaining presence and not at all bad looking, and, besides, having made a number of strong fricnds,who were willing to show him every possible courtesy during his stay In the Quaker City he readily obtained an introduction to Miss Libbie Canfield, a daughter of Mr. Can field.of the Canfield manufacturing company,ai that time doing business at 7th and Cherry sts. Young had previously met the young lady and was somewhat smitten with her acknowi- fdged beauty and charming manners, upon being ee vo ber, tramediately Sse Ore the stege, which fnaliy culminated in Miss Lib- ble's capitulation, ihey were married In 1s6z, notwithstanding the fact that at tbat time the young lady had a husband living tn this city, from whom she had never been divorced, and Young was in a similar plight or worse. for he hed two wives awaiting his return to his harem in Utah. The marriage between Young and Miss Canfield. however, was the result of pure love (sic), for it 1s sald that he exhibited toward her more affection and tenderness than he did to any one or all of his other wives combined. It 1s further stated that when Young was Wedded to his philadelphia bride she was fully ane that he was already doubly encuindered, but that she overlooked this trifling matter wh the husband exnlained that the other two were mere y uominal wives forced upon him by the laws of the Mormon Church at the dic- tation of the prophet Brigham senior. Hoy ever, that may be Young aad his Palladeipaia bride went to Sult Lake City and there lei a lide of dsmesiic bliss, which brougnt forth trait in the form of three children, Nothing occurred to mar their uniform felicity untl, 1s7s, woen Young suddenly took unto himself a fourth wife In the person of Lueila Cobb, which caused an unlooked for disruption In his previously weil-reguiated household. Prayers and eu- treaties proved of no avail. Mrs. Young, of Philadelphia, who had always been the recog- nized favorite, would submit to no such usurp Hon of her rights, and accordingly packed her trunks and, taking her three children with her, lett the city of many wives and returred to Philadelphia. Young has given bonds for. b appearance in the sum of $2,060, but the tele- graphed statement as to bis having broken a pleoge never to practice polygamy Is laughed at by Philadelphians fully conversant wito all ie facts connected with (his marriage in this alty.
