It was reported at police headquarters that about 11 o'clock last night an affray occurred In Hoy’s restaurant, 11th, nearC between Jacob Fechtig and Charles Crow, in which Mr. Fechtig was seriously cut in thebody. Fechtig, it seems, started away, and has got yet been found, and Crow, after the affray, af onee lett for the north- eastern portion of the city, but was subsequently arrested by Officer O'Hare and locked up in Lieut. Austin’s station—seventh pe In ssession was found a bloody knife, and Wood was also found on his arm and hands. He exp that he had got the blood on him | while separating Feehtig and another man du- ring a fight between them, and that Fechtig was badiy cut. Lieut.

Crow was charged in the Police Court with assault with intent to kill, and the case was in- definitely continued. ————— Rain Water vs. Potomac Water. To the Editor of Tae Evestxe Stan: Recently we have heard complaints of a scarcity of water, and ‘Ss expressed that we are in | danger of a water famine, in consequence of the Potomac water works being apparently unable to amply supply all wants of water to our peo- If the people will be wise and avail them- es of ready resources there need be no lack t of the city. There isa le, from which all or most of our community may have an ample supply of good, pure water at their homes, the whole of the time, and of much better quality nis furnished by ihe hydrants and pumps By records and figures of rain gaues kept during the three decades, (30 ars)at different localities, from St. Paul to Louis, and from the Atlanticto the Missouri river, it is plainly shown that the rain fall (in- cluding melted snow) annually, has ranged from. 38 to 52 inches on all the surface of the re: named—in no year less than 36 inches, w in years it reached as high as54inches—mak- ¢ a fall of water all over the country of from 3 to 4 feet annually; thus giving not less than three solid feet of water to every foot of surface | annually over our whole country From a little calculation in figures, which any bright school boy can make, we may have a fair appreciation of the quantity and utility of this vast rain fall: for instance: A small house. ont} 25x60 feet gives 1,500 feet of roof: on this will fall, annual iter to the depth of at least. three feet Shen mallnly the square feet of the roof by the number of feet of rain fall, and we will have, 1,500x3—4.500 cubie feet of water, even from this small roof; there is in a cubic foot 1,728 cubic inches, and in a gallon 231 cubic inches, giving about 714 gallons in a cubic | foot of water; 4,500x7!4—33,750, or 560 hogs- heads, or 16,875 pailsful. This is a much larger quantity of water than any ordinary family uses for all purposes. Now the necessary cisterns and tanks to hold this water, from the eaves conductor, as it is used out daily, need not be large or expensive, net much more so than the cost of plumbing for Potomae water. The writer of this has had pleasant experience, in the Western states, with rain water and cisterns, and can speak from know e of their utilityand advantages. These | great floods of water which rush frem our roofs, down the gutters into the streets, during heavy showers, may be saved for pleasant and profita- le use. drinking and culinary purposes a cistern | was dug some fifteen feet deep and about five meter, then walled and plastered up At this depth the rain water was linary pump water, enough so to | be perfectly palatabl hout ice, and much clearer and more healthy than Potomac water. In order to have it perfectly pure and clean, a wall of soft brick was laid pss the cistern, from bottom to top, with a jsilerer in this near the bottom, for allthe waterto pass through. | The water from the roof of the hor ranthrough | ry conductors into one apartment of assed through the filterer and soft brick into the other part the cistern; d when wanted for use it was raised by a nice, Having passed through the filter, cleansed from all smoke or dust ve gathered from the roof. it will be seen that this system will fur- | nish to the family clean, pure and healthy water, | which, after a little use, will be found more | | pleasant, and be better liked, even for beverage, than ar Jrant or puinp water, and can be cured, in ample quantity, at little or no more expense than th of Potomac water, and without the annoyance of water rents, collectors, | cnttings-oif and short allowance, for the im- | thense rain fall will always afford ample supply, | as the cisterns will collect and retain enough during the creat showers to last for all purposes 4, and at the depth named water and sweet from one shower to be found when wanted. still further convenience of the family small tanks, holding only a few barrels, ean be put in each story of the dwelling, with small pipes leading from the main conductor, whereby ing security agai as well as promoting health and ¢ while this same convenience arid securi | erty | There are many other advantages and conyen- iences to be derived from this system of water- works, rendering it superior to the Pot waterworks, whi and which at write ont more full but this f§ enough to suggest thought into the matter. . builders, civil engineers, florists, table keepers and others, including e about to build or remodel houses, would study this subject, as the writer has done for years, and see how practica- ble it is to save and ‘utilize the many splendid showers of rain with which we are annually and monthly blessed, and thus discover how easy it is to become almost or quite independent of the monopolizing water-works, and, at the same time, be much better serve D. a West Washington nee Georgetown. Narnow Escare From DrowNinG.—Abont 8:45 | o'clock this morning Francis B. Essex, a little | boy about eight years old, fell into the canal from a canal-boat, near Congress street. He was rescued by a colored youth named William | Dyson, who sprang overboard and dived for the drowning boy. He finally brought him to the surface and got him on land. He was taken to his home near by, and Drs. Suter and Chew sum- moned, who, after a considerable time, succeeded | in restoring animation, life having been almost extinet. Much credit is due to Dyson, who, a few days ago, reseued a little boy named Tubby near tle same place.

The Courts, Porrce Court—Judge Bundy pro tem. Yesterday, after our report closed, Sam Mor- ris, who has just served out a term of six years in the penitentiary for killing the lead cil peddler on Louisiana avenue, between 9th and 10th streets, some years ago, was before the court for making threats to kill a woman named Alice Miller. The court took his per- sonal bond to keep the peace for six month Fanny Parker, assault on Ida Colgate; €1. young white man named Chas. Lusby was charged with assaulting an elderly white man named Wm. T. Black, who stated fhat on the 13th of May, 1879, while between Uniontown and the Good Hope road, on his way to his farm, he was attacked by this young man. who struck him on the head with a ioaded whip and cut his head severely, and called on his friends to help him kill wit . Lusby took the stand | and denied the assault, He was sentenced to | Jail for six months. He was also fined $10 or 30 days in jail for an affray. To-day, Thos.

Walter Parker, a young white man, was charged with being a vagrant, being caught beg- ging ina park. He told the court that he had been on a drunk for along time, and ran out of cash and was completely unnerved, and wanted a drink and asked a gentleman for the money to get it; but if the court would let him go he would leave the city immediately. The court remarked that taking his condition into consid- eration he would send him down for 30 days to recuperate and get his nervous system in order and complete his traveling arrangements. John A casting rubbish in the street; $3 or 7 lays. —————— Give it to Them, To the Editor of Tue Eventya Star: Some days agoI read with pleasure a com- munication on the subject of the street railways and the Commissioners. It was true. sensible, and right to the point, and the sooner the Com- missioners’ heed that advice and act accord- ingly, the better it will be for them. The idea that any corporation should be allowed to openly defy the law by laying rails which are prohibited, and worse than all, that the Com- missioners of this District should allow such utter disregard of the law, and especially when their attention was called to the violation at the time it was being done. If the Commissioners have not backbone enough to compel these monopolies to do asthe law directs, then it is time that they should vacate, and allow their places to be filled by men who will not consent to have sand thrown in their eyes whenever these companies see fit. The same condition of affairs exists in regard to the repair of the streets, along which the carsrun. They, the R. R.’s, are supposed to be compelled to Keep in good conditicn a certain number of feet (8 I think), each side of their track and yet they pay no more attention toit than if there never was a word said on the sub- ject. The Commissioners will wake up to this when it is too late to repair the damage done and they will regret that they did not heed the pro- testation of a READER. ——— Alexandria Affairs. Reported for Tue Evesina Stan. Tue Goop-BYE OF THE PENNSYLVANIANS.—The Allentown firemen and their friends left for home with gay music and hearty farewells at sur “7e this morning. Last night they accepted a ban- quet at the Tontine, which was handsomely served. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. Dellenger, of Allentown; Mushbach, of Alexan- dria, and others. It was a late hour before the banquet was concluded. Ata later hour there was a false alarm of fire, which called out the fire department, so that the visitors had little sleep before the hour of their departure arrived, and then went off in excellent spirits, showing that there had been no want of Virgi pitality. The visitors carried away a ligator and other tokens of their yisit. parted with their Alexandria hosts with many cheers. TT readjuster ernor of Virginia, addressed a largecrowd from an ornamented stand on the post office lot last night, D. A. Windsor presiding. Capt. Wise re- viewed the questions of the canvass; contended that ail public debts, e debts, are contracted with the tacit understanding that these obligations shall give way before the pub- lic necessity. Bankrupt laws readjusted private debts, because otherwise bank unspurred by the hope of gaining a competency would become drones. Railroad and other corporations changed their forms and their great public work went on unparalyzed by debt. But a state could not change, because the state is the foundation ‘of public order, and there could be no change exeept anarchy. There- fore, when public debt weighted the common- weaith to the extent of preventing the develop- ment of its industries, and threatened to make its government cnly a machine by which the money-power levied tribute upon its people as erfs, there must be some method of re- in to bankruptcy in private debts. That remedy was readjustment. The Virginia which contracted the debt was not the Virginia that is now asked to pay it. Territory, property, social conditions and people have all changed, and there is no party in the state in favor of paying the whole debt. All the funder biils have been just as much forcible readjustments as is the Riddleberger bill. This line of argu- illustrated by frequent sallies of wit, and anecdote until a late hour. Tue OporLess Contract.—To-day is the time fixed for putting into operation the Ballenger odorless contract. At noon, Mayor Beckham had received no information of any preparation to put the contract into execution. The mayor will at once proceed to see that the recent law upon the subject is carried out, either by Mr. Ballenger or some other contractor. Rerorrer’s Nores.—The certificates of tax- | sales recorded in the corporation court records for the purpose of transferring real estate in arrear to the city already cover about 100 pages. This covers the sales of one day only, less than one-third of the whole amount of delinquent real estate.——After our report closed yesterday @ second test was proposed between the town engines, the Hydraulion and the Columbia, and Judges selected impromptu declared that the Columbia had thrown 250 feet and the Hydrau- lion 230 feet. The accuracy of this judgment was, however, excepted to.—The Royal street improvement will be completed at noon to-mor- row.—There are fifteen personsin the jail here, twelve of them colored. ———+o—___ Neat Dow, the Maine prohibitionist, attacked Senator Bayard and ex-Senator McDonald in a speech at Indianapolis the other day because they are opposed to legislation looking towards the suppression of the whisky traffic.
