Mr, Bulkley and members of his family denied such charges. ‘The young couple were Drought together yesterday in the office of Judge Cady, on F street, and there Miss Hillyer volun- tantly acknowledged Mr. Bulkley as her husband, and declared that she had married him of her own free will After such an interview, of gant there was nothing to do but to withdraw the bill for divorce, as announced in last evening's SraK. ‘Miss Hillyer’s family made the best of it and Judge Hillyer at once Mr, Bulkley as a regu. larly accredited son-in-law.

So when Mrs. Bulkley announced to Senator Stewart that she had decided to go with her husband, he sug; as also did Mr. Cady, that she had better return home until her hus” band could make some arrangements for provid- her with a home. “7hat is all a .” they both exclaimed, and 0 the older heads had noting farther to st. ‘The half hour had evidently been employed in & more ‘way Lhan the novelists would uave attrivuted to a meeting of two young people under similar circumstances, Instead of romantic sighs and fervent protestacions of undying affection, ther talk seems to have been ot boarding houses And the prosaic topics of how they were to get along.

He had also been engaged in thougt, and in consequence when the meeting took p 8 great deal was arranged in a short SINCE THEIR MARRIAGE there had been no communication between the two young people until yesterday, with the excep- tion of one letter which Mrs. Bulkley wrote to her husband with the knowledge and consent of her father. ‘This letter was inerely personal, and gave no indications of her views of the marriage. When the Dill was filed young Bulkley was ignorant whether it expressed ner real sentiments or not. je, however, sald that “if Bessie does not want e, then I will offer no objection and put no obsta- clein her way.” Mrs. Bulkley was evidently in a state of mind upon her return from her trip to Baltimore, and in her conversation with her famlly she expressed herself in a way that justified the filing of the bill in the form that was adopted, Her mind, unlike the usual feminine mind, underwent some change as the days rolied by, and 1t was necessary that the interview should’ be held and some positive position taken by the parties, either one ray or the other. ‘The tnterview was held, as and the result wasthat the young people voluntarily to live together as man and ay Wife. ‘The families of both have concurred in thts arrangement, andit is noped by the friends of bon that the end has now been reached, ‘The usual wedding trip will be postponed for the present, a8 one of the friends of young Bulkley explains, because the bridegroom has used all the ‘vacation time allowed him by the bank. “1 SHALL GO WITH GRASSIE.” Mr. Cady, in talking this morning with a Stan reporter in regard to the meeting in his office yesterday, said that when he and Senator Stewart Teturned to the room he asked Mrs, Bulkley if she Tealized that she was cutting away from the home where she had enjoyed her youth from her father, who bad given her everything tnat wealth could confer, and she replied, said Mr. Cady: “I shall go with Grassle.” Afterwards she said: “I fear the effect of this at my mother’s, but Tam decided.” Being asked about the suit, she sald: "hat’s no matter now; I believe that Grassie has told me what was true.” Mr. Cady then said that Senator Stewart soon left the ollie, and the young couple went away together, ‘Hooms have been engaged for Mr. and Mra, Bulkley at the Windsor, corner New York avenue and 15th street, where ‘they will reside for the present.

(CITIZENS WHO PETITIONED IN FAVOR OF PURE WATER ARE INFORMED THAT IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE DB FLETED WATER FUND THR COMMISSIONERS WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO CONGRESS THE MAKING OP 4¥ APPROPRIATION FOR A FILTER PLANT. ‘ Tn a letter addressed to J. W. Thompson and others the District Commissioners say they “‘are fully in.accord with the view that the securing of an entirely wholesome and acceptable arinking water, free trom turbidity andsediment, and with- out deleterious components, would be a great bene- ‘ft to the community, and that all neeaful steps in ‘that direction should be carefully considered and the best means of amendment be taken at the ear- Mest practicable time, The water supply of the District, Itherally Planned and elaborately constructed as it has been, undoubtedly exhibits certain defects, and among these, though happily less serious in char- acter and degree than in the water, supplies of most cities, is the presence in the Potomec water ota amount of turbidity which at times is sufficiently marked to impair the appearance And attractiveness of the water, and at others is entirely absent. The causes of this are, of course, well under. stood, following the downfall of heavy rains the river receives trom the abrasion of its main and tributary valleys a considerable quantity of sedi- mentary and dissolved material, a portion of which enters the aqueduct at Great Falls, 1s conveyed to the receiving or distributing reservior, and thence through the supply, mains to distributing and ser- "iuring its. comparaiively slow passage through ing 1t8 comparatively slow rou? the aqueduct, and in particular during the period Of quiescence’ in the basins, the water a large of its sedimentary burden, the heavier materials are deposited, and only matters in solution andthe lighter suspended particles Teach the consumers. Both vital statistics and chemical analysts that on the whole the water supply of the Dis- trict in potnt of wholesomeness and freedom from deleterious matters ranks high among the best. ‘The reasons are obvious. The Potomac River Is a powertul stream of large volume, traversing a val- y of comparatively scanty poptilation; its turbu- lent current flowing swiftly over @ rocky bed 15 broken by frequent falls and rapids and subj throughout its course to a natural process of aera on and partial purification, The general piysical conditions of the stream and the absence of harm~ ful artificial conaitions, such as large manufactor- tes and centers of population, are, therefore, favor- able to the wholesomeness of the water, Dut It must be admitted, nevertheless, that the’ some- what frequent and occasionally’ prolonged condi- ton of turbidity, due as this may be to the pres- ence of comparatively innocuous components, 18 highly undesirabie both as rendering domestic filtration needful to restore the clearness and brilliancy of the water, and in especial as encour- aging recourse to the "use of well water drawn from strata underlying the city, whose trans- Parency and sparkle 1p too many cases mask from the unwary their true character as the bearers of disease germs. ‘The establishment of a suitable Mterin for the treatment of the general supply may, therefore, be regarded as a highly desirable abject, but unfortunately at the present time other con: siderations of still greater urgency demand prior attention. ‘The doinestic supply in many portions of the city 18 notoriously inadequate, causing great in- ‘convenience, and impairing the comfort and heaith of the community. In considerable areas this de- ficiency is due to ‘the absence of supply and ser- Vice-malns of adequate capacity. |The furnishing of these and the dellvering of an’ ample supply 10 yremises now either destitute or scantily served, involve large expenditures, which, under the law, must be borne by the revenues of the water office, already heavily depleted by payments to interest and staking-tund accounts. For example, the an- Uctpated revenues for the ensuing fiscal year 1888-'89 amount Lo say $270,000. For the payment of interest and siuking fund on outstanding water stock bonds there will ve required $44,610, aud tor interest and sinking fund on account‘of the con- struction of the new reservolr and aqueduct ex- tension the further sum of $86,962.35. The sum of these payments 15 $131,572.94, nearly half the Total water revenues, leaving only about an equal amount to meet ali the practical expenses of the water service and effect needed improvements. It 13 safe to say that the entire amount could be ad- vantageousiy expended in the laying of needed supply and service mains alone, it is evident therefor that unless some other Piovision be made for tue payment of the general interest and sinking-fund charges, or the water rates be considerably increased, 10 will be imprac- tcable to undertake for the present any additional projects of magaitude. ‘The lowest estimate that as been made of the cost of a Mltering plant is $800,000, and the annual cost of its maintenance nd operation $18,000. If the original cost_be di- vided between the United States ana the District asin the case of the reservoir and aqueduct ex- tension the interest and sloking-fund account will be for the first year, $21,000 and adding cost of maintenance, the total will be $39,000. ne Comastamoners cannot tierstne reccssmend to Congress at this time the m: ‘an approp- Hlatlon for the purpose naimed.” ‘The Death of Mrs, Taylor.
