THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, IS 0 VEMBER 12, 1807. BUSINESS NOTICES. ' A Batik vaotobt Test. It wl'l be remembered by Our readers that a few days ago, on an open lot near the Schuylkill, there was a most thorough lest of the respective merits of the Bares made by Messrs. Kvans ft Watson, or this city, wlih Sanborn's steam Im provement, ao Ingenious device by which tbe walls Of the Pale are filled with water, and those manufac tured by Messrs. JLlllle A Bon, of New York. Tbe test of the fire-proof qualities of these two Bales was undoubtedly more severe than any to which similar articles have ever before been sub jected, tbe Ore being kept burning fiercely about them for five hours. There were two distinct trials, Id one Of whloh the Bares were surrounded wltb dry wood, C nder the superln tender ce of a d inln lerested committee Of three respectable and well-known citizens. In the Otbor trial the Safes wire placed In a brlclt tnrnaoe, erected by Llllle A Son, the B:ite made by Messrs. F.vana A Watson having previously bren tampered with. In tbe first trial, Ltllle's sale cracked In less than an hour, Its content being wholly destroyed, Wbllo the oontonts of Kvans A Watsnn's safe were found entirely uninjured, and but one-third of the water In the tubes of Sanborn's steam Improvement had been evaporated. The result of the soeond trial wa", that the contents of I. lilies Safe were barTy damaged, being wet, discolored, and smoking, while tbe conteuts of Evans A Watson's Safe were as perfect as when first deposited In It, and one-half of tho water In the steam tubes still re mained. Such was tberrport made by theC'ommlttee, and in the face of these facts we must concede that Evaus A Watson's Safes, with Sanborn's Steam Im provement, are practically Indestructible.

Novel and Attbactivk Display. Last night, notwithstanding the rain, there was quite a crowd attraoted In front of Bennett's Fancy Bazar. No. 20 North Eighth street, to witness tbe peculiar window display, and tbe novel mode of Illuminating it, which was by means of two beautiful candelabras and a chandelier, surrounding a vase of natural flowers, The whole effect was striking, and was universally aamlred. Tbe display of flowers was really magnifi cent. This evening the same style of lighting will be repeated, and we advise the public to visit that locality, as It will amply repay thpm. As thi Time for tbe distribution of the (300,000 worth of presents In aid of tho Itivcrslde Institute draws near, the demand for shares and engravings Increases. Tbose who would avoid delay should make Immediate application at the principal office, No. 921 Cbesnut street. Each share, oostlng one dollar, secures a beautiful t rgravlng anil a present besides. Indian Summer. It is an easy matter to make an Indian "some;" that can be done by clothing him in the styles sold at Charles Stokes A Co.'s First-Class Clothing House, under the Continental; that will junke anybody ' some;" but to make an Iudlan sum a ei, it requires the month or November to be clothed In tbe balmy atmosphere of May. "Thb Homr ok tub Bravb" will most assuredly be the Gettysburg Asylum tor Invalid Soldiers, when erected. The people of Pennsyl vania are now called upon to contribute something In aid or mis great Charity. The present plan to raise money for this purpose Is popular. Tickets are issued and sold at one dollar, aud may bo obtained singly or In parcels at the ollice of tbe Association, No. 112B Ctiesuut street. Oa Hie 22d or February. 18i8, a grand concert is to be given a Horticultural Hull, when seven hun dred thousand dollars wonh of valuable presents will be distributed among those who bold tickets. There Is to be one gift of one hundred thousand dol lars In greenbacks, anil a splendid farm In New York State. Over forty magnificent diamond sets are also among the presents. Such an attractive scheme has rarely ever been arranged for a charitable purpose before, and the roanaxeis have a right to expect large subscriptions In consequence.

Rarely liave these words had a more strikfni; exemplnlca tion than In the decease of our deurfilend, ANNIE I.. ATLEE. Young, bi aiHlful, and lovely; a mrvu de voted wife and mother; a loving, faithful friend, and the ( bar in of the social circle. Affable and courteous, she bad always ready a kind word and winning smile for every one, no matter bow humble, A common humanity was tbe only plea necessary to enlist her sympathies. It Is hard to realize that she has gone from our midst, that those eyes, from whose clear depths seemed ever welling up tbe aff ections of a heart oveillowing with love fir her fellow creatures, art closed forever from our gaze on earth. Yet so it l; we have stood by and seen her body consigned to Its resting place In tbe dust. Calmly, peacefully, our clear one pussed awav, bowing tier head aud yielding up her spli It, without a struggle, to her Saviour, whose presence bad sustained and cheered her as she entered the "valley of the shadow f death;" for almobt ber last words to the weeping friends who stood around her were, "Yes, be is nearl" Farewell, Annie dear I sincerely do friends mourn thy depar ture; but on Done has the blow more beavliy fallen than the little circle whese bonds thy sweet influence so llrmly cemented, and in which the first link has now been severed; j et though bitterly we mouru our loss, we rejoice In thy gain eternal rest and peace which was so earnestly longed for by tho suilurlng body. Then why should our tears ran down, Or our hearts with grief be riven; Another gem In the saviour's crown, I Another star lu heaven. A. CITY INTELLIGENCE. FOB ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS SEX INSIBB PAGES. Orrt Water SrprLY The Preservation op its FciiiTY On the 11th of October Com mittee of tbe Kairmouut Park Commission, coDsiBtlDg of Messrtt. Frederick Graeir, John U, CresKon, Ucneral Georgo G. Meade, .Strickland KntuRH, and William Hellers, made a report to tliHt body upon the preservation of the purity of tlie water supply of the city. At the time we published an abstract of this report, and now we present the following additional particulars, tal.en from a printed copy of the complete leport. - In obtaining a supply of water It Is stated that tbe following conditions must be sougut for ttnd obtained: 'First. Tho quality of the water, and the mentis of maintaining it pure. "Second. The quantity available, and the probability of insuring a dally increasing de innnd. "Third. Facility of getting the supply into reservoirs of suitable altitude to inoperly sup ply the highest levels of tbe city. "Fourth. The cost of raining and distributing tbe water." Tbe report of tbe committee, however, la con fined principally to a consideration of the first two points. The report maintains the unques tionable purity of our vator supply, except v In n H is Interfered with by human agencies, aud in support of this fact quotes the analysis of tbe water supply of several large cities, giv ing tne uumiipr oi grains oi son a manor to l ei found in a gallon. Different analyses of the fccuuylkill water have resulted us lollows: mil.

A small amount of solid matter is by no means objec tionable nerfectly pure water, such, for in stance, as results from distillation, being un suitable for domestio purposes. The analvses of the water supply of other American cities show the following results: ij rains tnr mil.

The amount of sulpuurlo acid found in its waters is stated to be une qualled In any other known stream. But Mensr. Boom and uarrett, in tneir report 01 an analysis inudo iu 1802, say: "lu avoid misunuersianiung, iei us again note, that It does not reach Philadelphia iu the form of sulphuric acid; that it is already neu tralized at Beading and may be called the suipnates or lime ana magnesia, ami tnat tne umurai water of It ending becomes neciueuiy Bituuiue before it reaches Valley Forge, and Maintains a uniform composition from that point to Kalnnouut. The same causes of neu tralization aud alkalinity will undoubtedly cuntlnuo to operate, whatever may bo the ex- ituBiuuui num mining in m Hchuylkill valley mi juvicdd w ooutent oi suipiiurio acid on '"""I'l".1 uuhiuiiii oniy result in an In crriise of sulphate of lime at Philadelphia " The same gentlemen continue: "a. I, i iha rortant fact that it is almost whoiiv fr rrm organic mutter, one of the most objectionable constituents of water for domestio uses; and we think our conclusion tenable, that the Hchuyl kill water from Valley Forge to Falrmouut will prove superior 10 most waters 01 the world em 1, loved In large cities." The report of the committee, In referenoe to the impurities of the water, says that the amount at present is really so small, when 00m i.ared with the volume of the river, astopresenl objectionable matter at Falrmouut In so minute nuJo non ordinarily deieot it. The surfuce-our rent is so slow, probably not more than two miles perday in theordluary stages of tho river, thai 11 lunni.l reo ulre some three days to bring down Impurity from Manayunk to the dam at mid anv but the light floating mat ter will have deposited IU noxtoim qualtUe I long before U10 third at. Asa means of preserving the purity of the water, the construction of a great sewer from Manayimk to Falrmonnt is proposed, thfr cost of which, it Is believed, will not exoeed tsOO.OdO. The committee is satisfied of tbe entire practi cability of building the sewer, without meeting extraordinary or insurmountable engineering difficulties, and at a comparatively small oost. Tbe report then proceeds to state that each year shows that the demand for water increases much more rapidly than the population of the city. For the ten years preoeodlug 180, the In crease In populat ion was 70 per cent., at which rate the population now would be 78S.471, which Is probably very near the number. Taking the dame rate of Increase tor the next twenty years, we should have In 1887 a population of 2,278, (i80. Tbe Increase In the quantity of water sup plied in the Inst ten years has been nbout 88 per cent., at which rate the average supply iu 1887 would bo H2,725,7( gallons per day, and the maximum required during the summer months would probably be 14').f)22,3i7 gallons perday. The minimum flow or the Behuylkill has been set down at about 4UO,mo,000 gallons per day, but during ten months or the year would pro bably be nt least live times greater. From a coiisldoiallon of the data preserved, it is ascertained that there could have been pumped by the use of the turbine wheels fully 1 Io.oimi.OOO gallons. If some means can bo de vised to equalize ihe flow of the river, ro that t be firwll discharge of the summer months can be compenpated by the surplus of tho wlutur, wo should have ft in our power to raise by water power alone all the water the city is likely to require for the next II fly years. A weil-ktiowa remedy for the irregularities in tho flow of the Hcliuylklll is the establishment of pools or lakes of storage at soveral points on the river or Its principal tributaries, in which the supeifluous waters of annual snow-thaws and great storms, or so much of them as may be needed, shall be arrested and kept for gradual use. By arranging the outlet of these pools so as to allow a constant discharge into tbe natural channels eoual to the ordinary ave uige flow, the entire country bordering on the stream will receive its usual supply with lu cruiHed regularity, and would aiso to some extent Ve protected against tbe ravages of Hoods. The estimated cost of six pools of the required capacity would be $l,200,0C(J. It would then be possible to ralHe into the distributing icservoira 110,000,000 gallons per day, through out the driest poriod of the year. The report discusses the practicability of ob taining a supply of water from the lielaware, nt a point above the influence of tide water, the estimated cost of which would not ba less than 2,313,000 per annum. But there is a great objoo I on to tills course, as the water would, when it renched the city, have a head of but one hun dred feel, while there are parts of the city upon tl:e east side of the Sahuylklll which require a head of about one hundred and forty feet. To meet this demand It would be necessary to resort to tbe employment of power. In conclusion, the report states that the Schuylkill may be made a source of supply for many years, and that, by the construction of compensating reservoirs, and by the employ ment of steam power In part, the quantity of water will be Rinple for at least fifty years; and it Is believed that this can be ellected witliout unreasonable expense, and at a much less cost than any other plan proposed for the introduc tion of other Bl reams. The Committee there fore recommends the retention of the Schuyl kill as a source or supply, and the taking of Immediate steps for the Improvement of its quality and quantity. A Collision on the Dklawark The Major Keybold Sinks a United States Steamer. Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, the steamer Major Key bold, while on her trip to this city, ran into and sank the United States steamer General Putnam, which was lying at anchor about a mile and a half above Mew castle, Del. A dense fog prevailed at tbe time, and the signals were being continunMysouuded. No answer being returned to those of' the Major Key bold, she proceeded on her course, no one on board being awa:e of the dangorof n colli sion. Very soon something black was distin guished ahead; but the boat approached it so fast, and before tho engines could be reversed she struck the General Putnam Just forward of the wheel-house, knocking a hole in her side, Ihe bow of (lie Major Kevbold running upon the other's d ck, and there It remained. Meu were immediately not to work with axes to cut her Iooko. After much difficulty, aud a considera ble tunount of chopping, they succeeded lu ef fecting her release; hut not before the General Putnam began to settle. When it was seen that there was no hope of the General Piitnum being uhlo to lloat, the crew, sixteen in num ber, were transferred to tho Major Keybold, and biought to this city. Tho GovernmentH'eamor Mink KOon alter the Mn.lor Keybold left her, Tbe General Putnam- was employed in the Light-house Department, and was a small (temner. She was commauded by Captain Smith. The Keybold sustained no damage. Tibfd of Life. About 4 o'clock yesterday fifterocon, a young woman, aged nineteen, tired of life and intent ou committing suicide, lumped into the cold waters of the Delaware, at Bruner's wharf, Poplar street. A workman, bearing the splash, ran to the end of the wharf. and seeing tbe struggling girl, picked up her shawl, which with ber hat she bad troubled herself to take off, and threw one end of it to ber. She eagerly clutched It, was draggod out of the cold element, nnd probably thinks of enjoying a little more of life. Eveline Johnson, a colored girl, aged eighteen, nttempted to commit suicide yesterday at ber borne, Fifteenth and Stone streets, by cutting ber throat with a razor, but did not succeed. Shinplasters. A won an named Ann Gra ham was arrested In a store on the cuarge of assing counterfeit money, and was committed on this charge. She bad in some manner ob tained prsset-slon of one of the business cards ol h Market street clothing firm, which was a well-executed bill, signed by the firm's name, and offering to redeem It, when presented, by one cent. She rubbed the firm's name off, It is alleged, aud attempted to pass the bill, was caught and committed. Arresting a Termagant. Officer St. John i'bompson yesterday attempted to arrest a Irunkeu man in the Twenty-fifth Ward. While n this act Susan Graham, who lives at No. 555 Pepper street, peppered the oflloer with stones. aiid llnal!y closed her onslaught by hitting: hint witnabrtck in me Dack or the neck. Then, when attempting to arrest Susan, one Kraanuel Warren must needs Interfere. The omcor tri umphed, and Susan and Kmanuel were looked up, and committed by Alderman Benix. Stealing a Watch. James Gowan and Lucy Scott, colored persons, were arrested last night for stealing a watch. A Frenchman, passing their place, and espying a tire with wnicu 10 light nis cigar, popped in, pokeu nis clunr In the eoals, and while so engaged, Lucy robbed him ot his watch. She then charged James with having taken It, and he In turn charged her, and between them, although they were committea, ine watcu was not iound. A Free Fight. Last night 'there was a dr co In the third story of tbe Spring Garden ioe Company's Hall, at Nineteenth and Cal lowhill streets. During this, Officer Bailey at tempted to arrest a drunken character. While a tempting this, a lot of persons unknown p lehed into mm.'and during tbe general melee between them, llalley was struck In tho jaw v lib a billy, and had it fractured.

Alderotau Shoemaker OQininlUed ului to answer, Meteors Tm 1Vikotj or Obaudi Dib- TLAT OR TrtUKSDAT MORITTNGf NXT The anxiety of our cltlzeDs to witness the grand meteorlo shower which was promised us in No vember of Iflst year will not be forgotten. Yet tbe signal fallnre of the stars to shootr and fall, and sonlrm about, according to the plan laid down for them by those wise men yclept astronomers, disgusted not a fow, and it Is barely possible that their incredulity will keep them within doors on Thursday morning next, when, according to certain and sundry astro mlcal signs, the grand shower will positively toko place, it should be remembered that Ihe fierlods of time elapsing between the two grand ilstorlo displays was thirty-four years, and not tnirty-three years; and that, therefore, the shower par excellence could not have been an ticipated until tho month or November In the current year. A correspondent of a London Journal, who evidently knows what be Is writ ing about, end may, therefore, be considered I e fectly reliable as a prophet, says: "It Is for the Information or transatlantic observers that 1 lake an early ouportHiiliy of ollerlng the follow ing remarks to point uut on the present oucasluu of IIm return the nntahle and suiiiewliai altered circum stances of the display.

In tbe great star shower of lam jenr about eight thousand moteors were counted at (iretnwlch, and at least an equal multitude of fire hulls and faPing stars was vlslbleat the same time In Kui ope, Asia, and lu Africa, and at the Cape ot Uood Hope. While the gradual and steady increase of the shower up to tbe present time makes the appearance of a large number or the November meteors in the present year extremely probable, they have not yet amounted to the celebrated spectacle seen by If um boldt In Houlh America in tbe year 17V9, and by ono olipeiver in North America lu 1533, who describes tliem as fulling 'about as thick as the flakes or snow In common snowfalls,' or, by another, who relates 'that their numbers seen at once often eg undo J the numbers or the fixed stars seen at a glance.' "A t the time or the appearance ol the November meteors in the year ig'tl, Olbersshowed that they were preceded on tbe same date In the previous year by a nearlv similar Bhower at the Mauritius. In Asia, and over the w hole continent ol Europe, and that thirty four years helore the great display In lt&l, the same star shower was seen in equally grand proportions, by Humboldt In South America. Itelylug" upon the evident periodicity or tho phenomenon, Others ven tured to predict that after another interval of thirty four years the starshower would return In the present year. Now that the Interval hua relapsed, aud that the November meteors last year returned In the same multitude and In the same regions or the globe which dist nguished their appearance in the year 1HT2, 11 Is hardly too much to expect, what the circumstances strikingly uppear to indicate, that another star shower like that of the year iss.lwlll this year be visible In America. Calculating from the time when the frequency of the meteors was observed at Green wich on the night of tbe Kuli to the 14i.li of November lust, the following approximate results were ob tained: "At about 6 o'clock A. M., Greenwich time, on Thursday morning, the 14th, the earth will oicupy the place where It encountered the first por liousot the meteoric stream lat year. Athatt-pastT o'clock A.

Allowing one hour earlier for every fifteen degrees ot west longitude from Green w ich, the local times when the star shower will be at Ps height at a list of places within the region Just Dnmca may be provisionally stated as follows: TIME OF MAXIMUM A.

It will also be well to follow the advice or our learned anonymous friend in Loudon, to insti tute a series of observations extending from tbe morning of Wednesday, the 13th, to the morninn of Friday, tho 15th. It Is barely pos sible that the stars may shoot at any time within these limits, as tney ao not nave toe strictest regard for the wise predictions of their constant friends tbe astronomers. We would also suggest to his Honor tne Mavor. that he Issue forthwith an order to the police, requiring them to start all tbe bells in tuo city wneuever me snower appears, u a are to witness a grand display of celestial pyro technics, we will pardon the uproar, with thanks into the bargain.

The ln-t-urgent bunds inarched immediately on Rome, ana it is believed that Garibaldi had been since yesterday evening before the gates of tho city. But later despatches from Florence, dated October 2!), say that Garibuldt was still at Monte Rotondo organizing his forces. The taking of Monte Rotondo Is confirmed by tbe Paine (semi-official French journal). Tbe France says that the number of tho An tibes Legation who defended Monte Rotondo was about 3U0 men, all of whom were taken prisoners. About 300 Papal troops have arrived at Ternl as prisoners, but wore set at liberty by the Ita lian authorities. Garibaldi Demonstration at Naples.
