THE PHILADELPHIA WATER WORKS What Work Das Been Done and What is in Progress. The scarcity in the supply of water during the drouth of labt summer has caused an ap• prehension among Many citizens , that the same trouble may occur during the next sum mer,which is now close at hand: The Water Depaltment has been actively at work, with the means at its disposal ; and this year we are : little better off in the appliancesfor obtain- ing a supply of water.- , _ -'- At the Schuylkill Works the new Cornish engine has been in operation since last win ter,- and works -very well. -It is a side-lover eri-gineTyritlra-12Litrci-cylindcr-and-a-364neh yump, both with a ten.feetstrokc. Its pump mg capacity is eight million gallons per :day.' Alarger engine, of the same pattern, capable of pumping ten million gallons per ' day, has been contracted for, and will be ready for service in about nine months. These engines - take the place of thb original one, which was placed in the works twenty-four years ago. AtFairmount - Works the-second-large tur bine wheel is almost completed, and it is et pected will be ready for service by the first of June. Its capacity-for pumpi tit will be eight million gallons per day. For the third tur bine wheel the contract hag been entered into, and work will be commenced immediately. This wheel will be in operation in about a year. These wheels take the places of two of the old woodeum heels, leaving two of that style remaining. For replacing those with turbines there is as yet no appropriation. -For-the Delaware--Works att . engine .with. a. pumping capacity of Six million gallons per day 'has been. contracted for, and will be fur nished in a year. There are now twii engines, Keith a capacity of six million gallons per day, at these works. ,A reservoir for these works is - now - being built - at Sixth - street - and - Lehigh avenue. - The work was commenced on the Ist inst.,and it is expected to be completed about the close of next year. For the West Philadelphia Works, the reservoir at Belmont is progressing favorably. One section-about one-half-will' be ready for use in about two months. ,In a handsome new_: engine-b otise-nea wont, Co,ttage new-engine-has-been-put-up, .and - be started as soon as the reservoir is ready for use. Its capacity will ho ten million gallons per day. A second engine is building, and will be completed in about six months. -- The old works near Girard avenue,with a; capacity Of four million gallons per day, are to be Ws . pensed_with- • - At Chestnut Hill the reservoir is undergo ing extensive repairs. . _ . At the Boxborough reservbir, which has been under repairs, the work has Veen stopped for thewatit of money. The matter is now in charge of a sub-committee of the City Coun cils, and, it is to be hoped, will soon be re ported upon, - so that the necessary appro priation can be made by City Councils, Nothing has been done yet in regard- to the building of the storage reservoir recommended by Chief Engineer ()melt It is proposed to put up this reservoir in the East Park. It will cover eighty-five. acres of ground, and will have a storage capacity of six hundred million gallons. It was intended,to cover the expense by a loan 0r53,K0,0(10, but as City Councils reduced the amount of the loan to $1,000;000, the work cannot be commenced. - The result ofthework - done since last sum mer will give its an increase of five million gallons per day by steam power and eight million gallons per day by water power.

Au as sociation meets at that house. The two men have ben in the habit of going there. Last Melt, after the close of the meeting, they had some words about a Woman whom • kelly visits. A quarrel ensued, and then Kelly, it is alleged, drew a large-sized pocket-knife and stabbed Flied' three times in the back and once in the head. The wounded man was conveyed to the home of his father, at Thir- teentli and Bainbridge streets. Kelly walked away. He was subsequently arrested by Po licemen Ryan and Snyder, at Eighteenth and Carpenter streets, while sitting on a step en gaged in conversation with the woman about whom the quarrel had originated.

He will be assisted by two boy choirs, and by a number of distinguished amateurs and, artists.

Much of-the shrubbery and trees have yielded their symmetry to the 'blows of the storm. • Among the Visitors' now in the city is Col. Andenried, U. S. A. He is a native of Phila delphia. Be is one of the few good-looking soldiers we ever saw who wasn't conscious of his personal graces. He is upon the staff of -General Sherman. Thepurpose for which he was sent too - PhiltiAelphia was to verify the-idea of the War Department that by plating the United States small arms with nickel their du . rability would be a good deal* more than - doubled: — Thrrexpectationa - oftbe - Uolonelrh,e assures us in 'person, were fully realized. • To secure the services of houae-painters to day is simply impossible. The reason is that • the entire fraternity is engaged in replacing the glass broken by Sundays storm. In this direction the claims of the sufferers by the late - fusilade of solid boulders are literally impera live. To a merchant beneath whose shattered skylights are reposing a good many thousand dollars' worth of perishable merchandise, the cost of restoring to its normal condition the ,riddled glass.ia. a matter entitled to not a mo ment usually set apart for - coneideration. - Where painters were at work on.: Saturday their places are now vacant. What the" ' " bosses" tell ns is that to the superior claims of putty not only white lead but china gloss will play second fiddle for snore weeks to . come. By some of the more penurious losers the 'work of making repairs has been indefi nitely postponed. We this morning passed a large establishment.' In the stead of glass its sashes were filled by pasteboard. Their owner will inflict upon his many employee the misery of serving in semi -darkness, rather than pur 'chase light at the-prices that' are tuling to-day. In the present-ease-theltarvest-to-the-frater--- tiny of glaziers is plenteous. People having painting to be done will do righteously by ex ercising a certain amount ,of patience and forbearance, and by remembering that the enforced fulfillment of' existing obligations he -Iween the painters and themselves might bring to many a pocket-book a comparatively ruinous wrench. -Sonic-of the bricka_inthe_pavement.of_lnde pendence Hall are worn by the constant attri tion of solo leather to the thinness of old-fashs oned tiles.

The young gentleman was not satisfied with preserving the offending brick. He sent it to our re. porter.. "We - this morning received it, accompanied by a note. The young gentleman seems to have organized a mewing on the" steps of the State House. He then elected - himself President, Secretary, Treasurer and Vice President.

Five new cases are reported to day, three of which I found in a visit yesterday evening. * * * There is a case of fever in 715 St. Mary stieet; - reported by-a-doctor7—The-people-srill throw filth in these streets, and it it impossible 'to keep theni eleanedwithont.its - being , done daily." . Dr. McShane visited twenty-six houses iu St. Mary street, and twenty-five houses on courts running from that street between Seventh and Eighth, and reports, that there, are no cases of relapsing - fever in any of the houses. A MURDEROUS WEAPOIC—Lsst evening a middle-aged, well-dressed man was discovered acting in a suspicious manner about a house on Brown street, above Fifteenth. He tried the door -and also endeavored to Unlock it with a key. He was arrested by a policeman, and up his sleeve was found a big knife with a, very keen edge, apparently but recently sharpened. It seems that the wife of the man has left him and is living- in the house--men tioned. For that reason the prisoner has had an ill7feeling against the occupant of the house, and it is supposed that he intended to use his knife on him. The prisoner had a hearing before A ld. Pancoast, and was held in SBl.lO bail on the charge of " carrying con cealed deadly weapons with intent to kill." REscurNo A PRISONER.— William Ecken bran was arrested, last night at Beach and Green streets upon the charge, of assault anti battery on Policeman McCaulley,and rescuing a prisoner. MeCaulley arrested a man on Saturday nigliti when he was attacked by twenty or thirty/ persons anti his prisoner taken away from him. Eckenbran is alleged to have been one of the assailants. He was held in $BOO bail by Ald.

A bridge watchman saw the act. but was unable to prevent it or rescue the wo man. The body has not been recovered. SERIOUS AcciDENT.—This morning B,m jamiti Shallcross and William Crispin; As= sessors of the Twenty-third Ward, started in a carriage to attend to their duties. The horse took fright and ran away. Both gentlemen were thrown out of the carriage. Mr. Crispin is so severely injured that his recovery is con sidered scarcely-possi Vitssitt, INsrEcToust---The Board of Health, at its naceti lig to-day, elected' Captain Andrew 1).

Both Will be Working member; and all acqui- Ation. . - The Academy suffered 16s than might have been expected from the hail-storm of the Bth instant. But two paintings were injured—out a tine poultry-scene by Hontickocter ' a Dutch master who lived from 16:0 to 1695; the other a copy from tart, of a Holy Family by Raphael, of no great importance.

The autotype copies of the old masters, tacked up in the southeast room, and worth front two to eight dollars each, were badly cut and torn.
