How They Look, Gape, Wonder and Wander. | PHILADELPHIA'S CENTENNIAL SPREE. Purcapenrnia, Nov. 4, 1876. | Ominous signs of the approaching end of the festal Centennial times begin to appear, although the crowds | at the grounds on Fairmount Park are greater than ever. The admissions during the past week have been 600,009, and the fact that but a tew days remain for teeing the huge creature before itexpires under the last batch of speeches which are being prepared by the Centennial Commissioners stimulates everybody who has been putting off his or her visit, There ts no doubt that the closing ceremonies will take place on Friday noxt, for General Hawley, Mr. Goshorn, Mr, Welsh and all the other magnates of the fair have | been shut up for hours daily before acunuing machine | run by gas which turns out speeches in livks tike | sausages, I am not permitted to d ribe this curious engine, but I was informed to-day by a trusted office sweeper thatone day last week it was paying outa speech for W——m M, E——ts at one end ant to D-—a A. W—lIs at the other. Tho trusted official would not | give ine the full names as he said it might cost him bis | place. But to the Exhibition, While it has been | decided to close next Friday, it is tolerably certain that the Board will not “shut up’? tor many days atter, but will continue to make speeches and receive halt- dollars for a week or two later, It would be hurd to blame the Board for this determination, but after the | set of speeches now ready for the closing day are de. | livered, the lite will be kuocked out of the Centennial Exhibition. THK PRRMANENT DELUSION. The plan for a permanent exbibition in the Main Building is a delusion, as enthusiastic Philadelphians look on 1s now. That a few hundred people will- ing to advertise their wares, will apply for space, put up showeases and keep a voluble man or a protty woman to distribute handbills and take orders, goes without saying; but it will be a collection of mer- eantile mummies that will attract people less day by day, until the voluble men will at Iast be reduced to making love to the pretty women to keep their tongues from rusting at the roots, Philadelphia has never bad & great exhibition before. It has found the gigantic ; animal so lively and withal so protitable that it cannot make itself believe that the big creature is about to pay the debt of nature. But to those who, like the writer, have seen exhibitions, expositions and Weltaussteliungen dic the death of dismantiement and dismemberment, the signs that the hour ts athand | are as plain as that night wili come after the aay. ‘Tho slory of the days at Fairmount is the gorgeousness of set, and the kerosene and candles of a ‘permanent exbibition” will not make sunlight again. Like the baseless tub; The big foghorn, the xorg ‘The Corliss engine, the ere ea, all which it imberits shall dissolve, And like this unsubstantial pageant fai Leave not # rack behind, The great rush means that the show has been a suc- ess, but the talk of making it eternal ts as absurd as to talk of making a permanent wave. HAS THR QUAKER CITY BENKFITED? A question, indeed, now agitating the minds of the good people of Philadelphia is, of what use the Exhibi- Mon has been to the Quaker City? In the city’s present hilarious condition it would hardly bo safe to trust a municipal vote on the matter. Philadelphia is un- questiouably in the sixth month of the longest spree in its existence, and it is a toss up whether it will taper off into a roturn to sober provincial babits or ena in a delirium tre- mens, in which the most dangerous hallucination will be that it is the metropolis of the mation, It hag vertainly tasted the intoxicating liquors of metrupoli- \dnism and apparently likes them. Chestnut street,alter nightfall, has become as metropolitan as the lower end of the Bowery on @ Saturday night All sorts of thoap amusements flourish along that onge highly cir- cumspect thoroughfare. Here a man with scissors makes silhouetie portraits; there the shooting gallery with its fanciful targets flames on the pedestrian, At midnight streets that in the ante-Centenpial times were dark fier nine o'clock, aspect, while snatches of popul: and shouts of laughter float on the air. The g: eis overflow on the sidewalks, and the Broadway Biatues that form the caryatides of New York’s hoteis Bow support the door posts of the Continental, the Girard, and La Pierre bouse until late in the morning. All this my Quaker friend says is the work of the visi- tors. Notso. The natives stay up to keep tho visitors ip countenance, A CHANGE OF HEART. The effect of the Centennial spree on the minds of the citizens is most marked. They have met a great many people. Look at the hundreds and hundreds of families who have taken boarders who rarely bed in their homes. The privacy that came of the ‘ato home system Oi the city lias been invaded. publicity hus been thrown upoa homes ing prayers and a chapter of the Bible were as regular as buck wheat cakes for breakiast. ‘Not that the v sitors were anything but reputable. On the con- trary, robberies have becn unheard of and elopements unknown; but it is mndeniable that our boys have be- come faster and our giris not quite so prim as six months ago. Here and there some old survival of the ‘s of William Penn mourns in his back parlor over ‘centennial demoraiization” while he counts bis profits, much as the grocer of Benjamin Franklin’s iime got bis sugar nicely sanded while his family we assembling for devotions But to the mass the change is hail liberalizing. City manners must come if Philadeipbia ver to be more than a big village. If we want to rival New York we must have metropolitan cakes and ale, and, by St Ana, ginger must be hot ’’ the mouth. On with the dance, then. A waltz will do for Brother Broadbrim and Sister Tabitha to-day; morrow or the day after, if the Centennial excitement keens up, It may vethe caucan, I bopo not The danger lies 1n the Inet that Philadelphia 18 a convert to metropolitanism, and we all know how the proselyte Tushes to oxtremes.

THE ASTRONOMER LE VERRIER CORKECTS A RE- CENT MISAPPREHENSION—WHAT HE 6AID DIFFERENT FROM THE CABLED STATEMEXTS— NO TRANSIT OF VULCAN ANNOUNCED. Panis, Oct, 20, 1876, To tax Epitor or tue HeraLp:— The insufliciency of telegraphic communications, when treating deticate scientific questions, has brought about a misunderstanding between my confréres hero and my friends in America, which I desiro to dispel. I have in vo way announced a transit of the planet Vulean, Prolessor R. Wolf, of Zurich, Switzerland, thought that a round, black spot, observed upon the sun on April4, 1876, might be the return of an un- known body whose transit was remarked in 1820 by Steinbiibel and in 1859 by Lescarbault. In the Inter. national Builetin of the Observatory of Paris, Septem. ber 23, which I send you herewith, 1 replied by ing:—‘‘J/, 1 these three apparitions are from the same body, this body will repass across the sun on the 2d or 8d of October, or on the 9th or 10th following.’? 1t was todecide upon this poin: that 1 proposed to Mr. Henry, the eminent secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, an attentive observation of the sun at the periods mentioned. * On September 14, however, M. Ventosa, of Madrid, wrote a letter showing that the spot pre- viously observed by Webor was simply an ordinary solar speck. According to this the question could only be settled by a proof of the transit {u Octover. Perhaps it will be considered that, knowing betore- hand they could not succeed, the astronomers sus- pended observations, We did not consider it possible, ‘The question presents itself in its light, a novel light, which | ask permission to elaborate. As you stated 10 the Hknatp of October 4, 1876, in retusing to group the three observations of Steinhdbel, Lescarbault and Weber, I bad recognized that the five observations of Fritsch, Deenppis, Sidebotham, Lescarbault and Lum- mis might, on the other hand, belong to the transit ot body, and that all represented it with the utmost exactitude by an orbit of a revolution of 33 j02 It was in view of this new theory that it became neces- sary to Investigate the periods of ulterior transits. The different intervals between the transits of Venus ure Known; the greater, 100 years; the lesser, eight. The planet Mercury also has particular periods, and, indeed, some might expect to meet the intra-mercurial planet in the trausits. These transits, in effect, are regulated by a period of seventeen years, during which the transits of the planct across the sun occur, and af- terward it may uot occur for several years, Several astronomers, and the savant M. Gould among others, if my memory doos not deceive me, havo remarked that, taking the observ: tions of Lescarbault and Lummis, they have searched the samo region of the sky most thoroughly without finding anything sach as they descrived. The fact is explained to-day. According to the note which I addressed to you and to M. Gould, my confrire of Corvoba, you will see that Messrs, Lescarbault and Lummis observed that at tho end of acortain series of transits nothing further was Seon for seven or eight years. By the table you will also vee at a ginnce in 1875 the transit across tue san in October, by a distance of 12 deg. 3 miu, from the nodo, was doubtiul but not absolutely impossible; while in 1877 there will be no autumn transit, that it will be necessary to wait from thts year until after 1880. You will therefore see the reason which led me to believe in the necessity of permitting the astrono- mers to continue their researche®, notwithstanding the uncertainty of the result, Another important question now presents itself, Will there be a transit during the spring of 1877’ The con- Junction with the sun sbould take place March 22, 1877, ata distance of 10 deg. 9 min. from the ‘node. And if this distance were admitted as being certain, as well as the inciination of 12 deg., there would be no transit: but it would come very near. It would bo sary to diminish the inclination somewhat to change the longitude of the node a little—very accept- able moditications, Astronomers wiil doubtless desire to bo very careiul over any observations of the phe- nomenon, because there will be no other transit alter the coming spring until 1885, to be more exact. There would be no other resource from this period except rebing directly beyond the sun. My emunent col- leagues, Mr. Peters, of Clinton, N. Y., and Mr, Wat son, of Ann Arbor, Mich., will probably test this mat- ter,’and, I hope, succeed. Supposing that the five observers whose observa- tions served usasa point of departure wero not de- ceived, then are we not deceived, Upon what, | would remark, however, contd we base the accuracy of three of them? For three of the observations would suflice to establish the results which we wish Lo arrive at; the others would change nothing. 1 remain, yours truly, LE VERRIER THE LATE MRS CHANLER.

RICHARD BURNTON, MURDEROUS AFFRAY. A FOUR DOLLAR DEBI'S DREADFUL FRUITS— TWO MEN FATALLY AND TWO OTHERS SERI- OUSLY STABBED. About one o’clock yesterday morning George Steek- ‘resident of No. 18 Varnum street, Newark, entered the saloon of George Hart, corner of Hamburg place and Barbara street. He called for drinks and got them, He called for more. As he did not pay for the first, he was refusea, This enraged him and he began to abuse Hart ‘You can have no more drinks here,” said Hart, “‘uniess you settle that $4 you owe over a year.” Steckert dared Hart to go in the street and be would soon settle with him, He was ejected, two of his nephews helping Hart to put him out. Meanwhile the Schalk Guards, democratic club, were enjoying themselves in a private room alter the torchlight parade. After being ejected, Steckert had the door locked on him. He kicked 16 in. Just then two members of the Guards, contrary to the wishes of their comrades, le.t to go home—Charles Weber and Louis Oberle, brothers-in-law. No sooner had they reached the street when Steckert, as alleged, n attack upon them with along knife, Weber tabbed between his ribs, the kuile piercing a 13 believe At last accounts he was alive, yany hope of recovery. Oberle was stabbed twice in the back. His wounds are severe bat not fatal. The wounded men rusted back to the saloon shouting that they had been stabbed. This ex- cited the Guards and they tried to disarm Steckert, butin vain. He fought like AN INFURIATED DEMON, and slashed about right and left, He dealt Jacob Mas- son, of No. 29 Main street, mortal wounds. ‘rhe knife was plunged into Jacob’s bowels, so that his nes protruded. Next it gashed open bis right hip it leg near the groin. His brother, Phillip Mas- son, who rushed to the rescue, wes also badly cut across the wrist.

WHERE THE ERROR LIES More Storage Reservoirs Imper- atively Needed. Complaints of the scarcity of Croton water increase and multiply to such « degree that tt 1s fair, however unpleasant, to presame that a water famiue is at band. Up to within a few days ago the west side of town sut- fered most, bat tho east side now begins to feel the | widespread inconvenience, and ‘honors are easy” | between the two sections, The Hxma.p is in daily re- | ceipt of letters from various parts of the city, all with the sane cry of “nu water.” The Croton Department | cowes in for a full share of animadversivu, whether it 1 fuirly subject to it or not There isa groater dis- | position to find fault with the department ior (he mun- her in whieb the wuter is run through ihe pipes than on account of its inability to bold a full supply in the reservoirs. It is @ source of bitter complaint with many | the occasions when the department concludes to shut | of or turn on the water, and they point to the dan- | gers that attend this neglect of duty, As will be ob- | served in the subjomed interview, the Croton Depars- ment officials profess to give notice to housekeepers when they shut off or shove on the water. In one in- stance, lately, where the flowing mains were stopped to permit of the testing of some new engines, no | notice was given the citizens, many of whom in the upper part of the city positively aver that they were | without water for forty-eight bours, and when it did | come it was without warning and with a vengeance, overflowing cisterns and exploding waterbacks and voiférs, Chief Engiueer Campbell said yesterday, in wer to tho HskaLb reporter’s question bearing on this point: — THR WAY NOTICE 18 GIVEN. “Whenever we have occasion to repair, replace or alter a pipe in any district of the city we sond » man around to notily the housebolders."’ Revoxter—There are people who insist their water has been cut off without any notification and rushed on in the same way. How is that? Mr. Camppei—Tbat is our rule anyhow, and it is supposed to bo carried out. Reronter—But why is it the notice cannot bo pub- lished in the papers, so that everybody may read 1t? Mr. Campueit—That in not necessary. The water is cutoff {rom comparatively few houses apd these are near to where the workmen are, and it is quite an easy thing to let each one concerned kmow of the fact. RrrorTsk—But do you not cut off tho sapply some- times at the mains, 50 thata large area of territory is deprived of water ? Mr. Camrpxui—No, never, Receatly, however, in testing some new ongines at Higu Bridgo we did so, but that was unusual and only tor a brief time, RevorTER—What remedy would you suggest to pro- vent explosions when, as it frequently nappens, the ater is suddenly turned on and rushed intoa heated empty boiler? Mr. CampseLt—Let the hot water cock be kept turned on on the floor above where the boiler isand the steam will rise and escape that way. ReroxteR—To avoid the necessity for that, however, @ notice a8 to the time the water supply might be re- newed would be better for the housenolder, Mr, Camppeit—Certainly; and that is what the de- partment alwayr seeks to do, ‘This closed the interview. THR GREAT SOURCE OF ALARM to families living in houses of modern build up town may be tbus stated. Behind the kitchen range is what is Called a waterback—a square iron box—containing acoil of pipe, one end of which counects with the supply pipe leading under the sidewalk from the street main and the other with an upright cylindrical boiler situated between the kitchen range and the sink. When the water is running freeiy and fairly st flows in through the coil in the water back, and, becoming heated, tlows out again and discharges into the upright copper boiler, From thence it passes by one pipe over to a faucet above the sink, and upward by avuther to the floors overhead. So long as the water rnns there is no danger, because it is heated gradually in the water- back and the boiler 18 kept constantly full, but the peril cot wheo, all unconscious of the Croton aque- uuct authorities having shut off the water, the house- keeper or servant girl proceeds to light a fire in the morning, and .when the waterback has become redhot, lo! in rushes the cold water (the pressure baying been puton up at High Bridge without regard to consequences). Steam is instantly generated with a hissing warning note, and feria waterback and range are blown to pieces, f the latter eventdo nothappen the raging steam finds its way into the vertical boiler and, discovering ho means of escapo, whizz, bang, goes the boiler, THE NEXT SOURCE OF ALARM 18 in the case of u cistern (a common mode of providing against a scarcity of water in dweilings up town), which 1s situated at the top of the house below the root. The houscholder can regulate bis supply to suit bimself im seasons of drought by pumping from the basement. He fille his cistern almost full and goes to satisfied that he is well provided for in at least one of tho necessaries of life. Some time in the morning it occurs to the man who 1s in charge of such business at High Bridge to put on prossure in the pipes with- out a single word of warning, and the water goes ing up to cisterns already full, with a rush so great that the pe holes are overpowered and un- able to lot off the water fast enough. The consequence ia the cisterns are overflowed and great damage done to walls, floors, carpets, furniture, &c. e £ 876.—QUADRUPLE WORK FOR THE PLUMAS, The result of the imcompetent method by which the flow of Croton is managed 1s to make housekeepers exceedingly distrustful of what otherwise woulda be the greatest possibic domostic conveniences, such as water- backs aod hot water boilers. It 1s not surprising to plumbers are engaged in many out these useful appliances. Why there should be so much scarcity and aistress in Tegard to water mm one locality of the city and such an abundance in another just adjoining, needs expiana- tion, for it seems very little engineering skill would remedy such a state of affairs, THK CROTON SUPLLY AT ITS SOURCE, ln regard to tho Croton supply at its source in Put- nam county there need be litle apprebeusion for a Jong Ume to come that ander wise management the city will lack for an abandance of water. Croton ‘water was introduced into Now York in 1842, and up to 1848 13,000,000 gallons per day guve an abundant supply. "At that vime city had about 450,000 inhabitants, and now, with a popula- tion of over one million, the quantity required 18 90,000,000 gallons per day, slowing an average yearly increase in the daily consumption of about 3,000,000 gallons. The sources of supply of uil rivers ure trom the rainfall and from springs, Sometimes springs occur from sources which are outside of the watershed in which they are located, and it is highly probabie that many large springs situated in the Croton apply from lands situated outside Ot the rain which falls @ portion of it runs di- rectly into the rivers and a portion 18 avsorbed by the groond. Of that absorbed by the ground a part ta Again returned iu springs and tbe remainder is used up by evaporauon and tion, From the result of ex- periments tade by engiaeers of the Croton Bourd itap- pears thatat least three-eighths o! the rain which fails during a whole year on @ watershed will dnd its way into the stream. A rain gauge which was formerly kept for several years in the centre of the Croton basin showed an aver annual fail of over ‘orty-nine inebes, which would give aa amount oi over eighteen ipehes iv depth on the whole surface draining 1 early supply. The area of land, about 339 square miles, w hould give an averag daily supply of water from raia alone throughout ibe vear of about 300,000,000 gailuns. Something must be wrong somewhere when, 1u place of receiving this royal |. abundance, we only get abyut 70,000,000 gallons daily ‘at this present writing, As many large springs within the Croton basin evidently receive their supply from sources outside of the watershed no douvt a much larger quantity than the foregoing calculation shows might be relied on. STORAGE RESERVOIRS INDISPENSABLE, It is quite plain that if the rains were frequent and evenly distributed throughout the year there would be rge and constant surplus of waier, but as we are subject to long droughts during the summer ly bappens that the quantity of wi tanning in the Croton Ri daily needs of the city, and tho only way to insure a Steady aud unfailing sapply is by means of storage reservoirs, which are filled during the wet and drawn from in the dry scason of the year. The negiect of the Proper authorities in making provision for this emer- ey years ago was criminal and iexcusadle { enough storage reservoirs were built a con- stant supply of queduct could be kept up it no ra more than six succeseive months, course during ing confederates tab first thing was the construc- tion of an additional storage reservoir; for the city Still kept growing and its population multiplying at a rapid rate, The capacity of the existing reservoirs is estimated as follows:—The distributing reservoir at Forty-second street, 28,000,000 gallons; tbe old receiv. ing reservoir in Central’ Park, 160,000,000 gallons; ving reservoir in Central Park, lions; the Croton reservoir, at the head of aqueduct, 500,000,000 and the reservoir at Boyd’s Cor u new 1,000,000,000 ‘board, off Thatchor’s Island, Name | | tho grand total capacity wili be 8,000,000,000 gallons, | m1 making &@ total capacity of 4,378,000,000 fatona” When the new storage reservoir 1s compiived ’ SHEET. At or near the sourcesof many of the tridetaries of the Croton River there are natura! lakes which vary in size from 50 to 600 acres. These lakes are generally of considerable depth and cover in the aggregate an area of over 2,000 acres, From these lakes, itis pe, r= owing to the excessive drought, a quantity equal to about 4,000,000,000 of gallons has been drawn this jeason. of extrava- according to Mr. Campbell; the c cannot contro! the heave there should be as much forbearance as possible for the time being in the consumption of the water, NOT EVEN ENOUGH TO LATHER AND SHAVE.

If this should continue what will be obliged to resort to? Where is this leakage? not to use a mis uomer. There must be a break somewhere, and the sooner is remedivd the better for some, if not for the many. . & e WATERBACKS AND COPPER BOILERS EXPLODED. To tHe Epiton or tHe Henanv:— If convenient be pleased to send one of yuur re- porters up town about Fifty second, Fitty-third, Fifty- fourth and Filty-flth streets, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, and he will find a» state of aff from want of water, that is not known outside the circle aflected by the water famine.

On each day we were obliged to dump the tire in the range for fear of botier explosion, and besides that aan- ger paris of the range are bound to give way, as the plumber says, Add to all this that no fire means no dinner, and you can imagine the discomforts and troubles we are made to gufler.

Sefior Juan Poey, a milhonnatre planter, whose death is recorded by cable from Havana, was one of the most noted men in the island of Cuba, and a cousin of Felipe Pocy, the celebrated naturalist of Havana, The deceased was the son of a French merchant of Havana, bis mother being Donna Juano Aloy, descend- ‘ant of @ Busqu family which had resided for a long time in Cuba, No more celebrated sugar plantation exists im Cuba than Las Canas, with its 600 siaves, situated inthe neighborhood of Matanzas. The great ambition of the deceased was that his plantation ould be @ model one, and that every new provement in agricultural science should be prac- tised on it. The same applied tothe mills and other machinery. No monoy was spared 1 these attempts, and Las Cal thus became celobrat 1d has con- ts to remain so. Ono of the new ideas of Poey ye ago was thatof punishing jazy or refractory Blaves by letting cold water fall on their heads instead of flogging them, as usual. The unfortunate slaves in question Were, it is said, no better treated than on other and less modernized plautations. Poey was a man of great intelligence and no litte reading. In his youth he studied law, but never graduated. He was uf @ wonderiul litigious spirit, and was engaged tor long period in combating the constraction of tho Guines-Matanzas Railroad, which was a branch of the Havana-Matanzas Raiiroad, and of which latter railroad Poey was 8 large stockholder. The Guines braneb, howevor, was constructod through the persistent efforts of Sefior Miguel de Aldama. In politics he was thoroughly Span! and had nosym- athy with the Cuban Republic. Among the positions Ke held ander the government was that of a member of the advisory council to the Captain General, aud after the breaking out of the present revolution in 1868 he was placed in charge of many of the embargoed estates whose owners had joined the revolutionary uprising or had fled from the fsiand, and from which he reaped a large revenue. Atthe time of his death waa over seventy years ot age. JOHN W. KELLBERG, Mr. Kellberg was a well known machinist, connected with the Bulldck Lightning Press Company for many yeurs, having made many important improvements on the original machine invented by Mr. Bullock and put up nearly all of them that are now in use. Mr. Kell- berg died in Philadelphia on Friday last sfier a few days’ illness, aged fifty-one years. He was born in Geille, Sweden. — * MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, MARRIED.
