maker represents two reservoirs (or twin
baslnB) each 325 feet Equare, with embank
ment 18 loot at highest point of ground,
being about tbe division of tbe two basins,
faelng tbe colleso grounds. Mho excavation
at this, tbe highest ielnt, would be 10 feet,
making a depth el 31 feet te the topef bank,
and wben tilted with water with three feet te
tbe top, will held 12,000,000 gallons making
24 000,000 gallous capacity for both basins.
Toe coat of these basins will be t74,OCO.
Tbe banks of tbe basins would be four leut
higher than tbe top of tbe stand pipe in
our present roaervotr. Tbe grounds se
looted ure located west et Franklin and
Marshall college formerly the Franke
property aud contains nbcut 22 acres. It
is tbe hlgbtst point near this city, and 20
feet above tbe bottom of our present reser
voir. The clay la of the beat potter's, and
is well BUlttd for this purpose Te lower
tbe banks six feet, making thorn only 12
feet blgb at highest point, would bring the
banks within two loot of the top of tbe

400 feet wide and ever 1,100 feet long; en
nertb side about 300 feet wide, en seutu side
100 feet wide and en east side 70 feet. This
would make a fine park surrounding tbe

f OLITIOAL NOTES.

editor of theCbatfleld Democrat, a promt premt promt
nent Republican and nominee ler the

changed his politics and has come out for
Cleveland and Thurman.
There being no opposition the election In

amendment in the constitution Increasing
tbe number of supreme court Judgt-a from

Atlanta senatorial district S.m Small, tbe
Prohibitionist, wasdofetted.
The big Democratic parade which will

Thore were evor alxtyel the elty lights
out tbe greater pirt of last night, and tbe
darkness eaused n rather tunny mistake
which might have proved aerleua. Last
evenlng William Flsber, a young man
who resides en Mary atreet, attonited a
party. After it was evor he started te
caoerl home n lady who resides In the
eastern part of the elty. On his rettirn he
walked lu Chestnut street and when he
reached the corner et Llme he came
across threo men who In n rather savage
style yelted nt him te step. The vicinity
was very dark, and, as the young man did
net knew why Buy body should eall at him
at that late hour, and thinking that seme
thing was wrong, he did net atop,
but hastcued away. The men brgan
firing a re liver , and .this only
frlghtoned Fisher mera1 Tle "sopjeiad.
seme ene was trying te de him
barm and he ran te tbe Pennsylvania ata
tlen, where he told of the tuoldent and
afterwards left for home. He could net see
the men who wero after him and had no
idea who they were.
The report spread oenoernlng tbe affair
this morning and meat psople bolleved
that some ene had intended te rob or
murder Fisher, Thla forenoon eneugh was
learned at tbe station house te explain the
affair and show tbat It was a mistake all
around and the non eloetrla lighting ayetem
In use bore was thocauseof Itall. Seryeant
Hartley and Olllcera Dare and Glass, of the
rolleeforoo, were standing at this corner
when Fisher came along. The llgbta were
out, aud as the officers thought the man
whom tbey wero unable te roeognlza was
acting suspiciously, tbey called te him
te atop. When he refused Oflloer Glata
11 red his revolver In the air several times.
The police say that tbat part of the town
is at tlmes Infested by bad cbaraolera who
oemo along the railroad, and they weie
always en tbe alert for them. They had no
ldea who Fisher wa-i and they think tiny
had geed oauae te Btnp him. On tbe otber
bend there is ilttle doubt that Flsber had
plenty of cause te bn frightened at being
stepped by inen unknown te him, and
seme folks think the pistol sheeting waa
uncalled for, as afterwards the pollee did
net fallow Fisher, who they considered
auspicious, te the station, wliere they oeuld
have captured him.
