CLARK, Notary Public. a The season of bursting dams is not over. That which heramed im the Spring Lake reser- voir at Cranston, near Providence, R. L, with its thirty-five million gallons of water, gave way yesterday, and the torrent carried offafew bridges, wrecked a building or two, and killed three persons, For its escape from greater injury, the surrounding country has to thank the fact that its population was sparse. A local engineer built the dam, and it is believed that the weakness of the structure was due to a spring underneath it, which was not choked with sufficient care, The fact that such a cause can be assigned, and 80 soon after the accident, suggests the possi- bility of the builder’s having felt some uncer- tainty of the strength of the dam before now. In every case of bursting dams this summer there has been some such coincident discovery. The builders of that horrible death-trap at Johnstown were conscious of its shortcomings; and if, warned by the uncommon amount of rain which had fallen for a month back, they had urged the opening of discharge gates and the lowering of the waters in the lake, the catastrophe which appalied the world might have been averted. In yesterday's case there was even less excuse for the builder, if ho was aware of any weakness in his work; for there bad been a succession of casualties to press upon his notice the danger of dallying with un- certainty, $$$ + There is no longer doubt az to who is master in Hayti. General Hippolyte, without resort- ing to any of the barbarou: devices he was ac- cased of meditating, has forced his adversary to surrender and evacuate the capital. This does not necessarily bring peace at once to the distracted island; for the character of the coun- try and its inhabitants makes it probable that there will be more or less desultory fighting for a while still, between strolling marauders from one or the other army and the owners of at- tractive plantations in the interior. The open and genera! hostilities, however, are at an end; there will soon be a single government that other nations can recognize with self-respect; and diplomatic and legitimate business rela- tions will be restored all around. The news of Legitime’s fall must have dealt a severe blow te the hopes of France, which had been count- ing on obtaining, through its favorite’s su- premacy, a hold upon the island much stronger than that of any other power. As far as her interests are antagonistic to our own—and they may prove such, before long, in connection with the work to be done on the Panama canal —the triumph of Hippolyte is a cause for con- gratulation to us. To all the world, indeed, it ought to be a matter of rejoicing that a bloody and useless war has been brought to an end, and with as little loss as possible to the busi- ness of the country and to the comfort of the foreign residents. Today the trial of the Irish suspects, accused of complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin, begins in Chicago. So long a period haa elapsed since the murder, and the police have spent so much time and money in collecting evidence, that it will be agrievous disappoint- | ment to the publicaf the prosecution have not something pretty startling to bring forth when | they get their witnesses upon the stand. Great difficulty may be expected in getting a jury to- gether who will fulfill the triple requirement of intelligence, impartiality and comparative | ignorance of the tacts. On general principles, of course, an uptelligent Irish-American might be expected to understand his own people, and | their modes of thought and action in a case | like this, better than any one eise: but it would | be almost if not quite impossible to find one who had not a strong prejudice in the matter, The facts published in the newspapers have been so widely read that few persons, what- ever their um: ality, have failed to take some notice of them—probably enough to form an Opinion which it would be hard for the testi- theouy of witwesses entirely to overset, oo Chicago has justified ber claim to be a model city in the matter of energy, by the way she alre: forced most of the overhead elec- ‘ t of her streets and put them under ground, and is pushing the good work to com- mu. She has now six thousand miles of buried wire to experiment on, in a climate that Ougit to make-the test conclusive, both as to the practicability of the reform and as to the cost of maintaining it, Mr. Barrett, the city electrician. asserts that the underground wires ean be kept in repair at only one-fi'tieth of the expense of those overhead. This may be an eathusiastic estimate; but it is a curious fact, which has attracted the attention of investors @nd@ speculators in Wall street, that, as the Westera Uuiou wires have been driven under- ground, the company's stock has gone up, in spite of the how! that was raised at first about Persecution and bankruptcy. -_——$—$— It is gra ing to learn that, after all the ex- perimenting and patchwork of which the streets of New York city have been made the Vietims for so many years. the aathoritios have finally settled down to the ides that asphalt is the proper material for paving the roadways im residence quarters, This decision is a tribute to the shrewdness and progressiveness of Washington, for in this city the probiem was Solved some tine ago. If we could only force upon Congress a sense of the wisdom of giving Our city the means to adopt the hundred im- Proved devices for public couvenience whith are recommended and locally favored, the capital might have the cities of the whole coun- try sitting at its feet to learn how a munici- pality should be managed. Sen The ancient custom of “talking about the weather” when all other topics flag has gradu- ally broadened into a fad or hobby, so strong as to furnish support for a monthly publication, Word and a in which religion and storry heey are oddly mixed, with the pretore he to the latter. From its columus we jeara that the “central danger days” of regular storm periods in September thia yeer are the Ist, 2dand3d, the 12th, 13th and ath, and ——___ Indications for reactionary storms mark the 7th, 18th, 19th, ‘20h and 30th.
