Arohbiehop Gibbons will leaye Baltimore this morning, accompanied by Rer.

Dr. O'Coiv nelt, of Winchester, for New York, and will sail on Wednesday on the steamer "Gal lia" for Liverpool, en route for Rome. A destructive contiagration occurred at Dal' las, Texas, on Saturday. The flames spread so rapidly that it was feared the entire town would be burned. Prominent insurance men estimate the loss at $1,000,000, and the insur ance at 9760,000.

At Belfast, Ireland, an Orange procession while returning from a meeting on Saturday at whioh Sir Stafford Northoote spoke, was attacked by a Catholic mob. A desperate fight ensued, in which mtny persons were wounded, and a lady died of fright. While going rapidly around a curve near Austin, one of the western suburbs of Chicago, yesterday afternoon, a dummy oar filled with passengers was derailed and thrown into ditch. Charles Cook was fatally injured, a eig'U others wera mora or less seriously wounded. At Northboro, yesterday morning, a man named Taylor, residing in Brockton, but on a visit with his wife at the bouse of Rich ard Eylwood, shot his wife and then blew out bis own brrins.

Mrs. Taylor was induced to go into a field, and while there the shots were fired. The woman is expected to recover. The man died instantly. Ambrose Dagget, a young man working on the farm of D.

Greely, at Liberty, Maine, last evening shot Ella, a young daughter of Greely, through tha neck, causing instant death. Im mediately after the shooting Dagget went into an orchard near the house and shot himself through the head, expiring instantly. Jealousy was the cause of the murder and suicide. The German American Bi Centennial Memorial 'services were held in all the German churches of Philadelphia yesterday, and a sermon appropriate to the occasion was delivered by Rev. Dr.

McCook at the Tabernacle Presbyterian church. The city is gayly decorated in honor of the event, and the street demonstration to day promises to be a grand affair. Thirty two of the drivers on the Belt line of street cars at Washington quit work yester day on an order from the Knights of Labor, of which organization they are members. The order was issued because of refusal of the Superintendent of the line to reinstate a driver who was discharged on Saturday for refusing to instruct a non union driver who had been put on the car. Samuel Butler, aged 20, was found at Third and German streets, Philadelphia, early yesterday morning, in an insensible condition.

He was taken to the hospital, where he died last evening. Yesterday afternoon 8amuel Beek volunteered a statement to the police in which he said Butler had been beaten by Hoary Renner during a quarrel over a girl. Beck was locked op and the police arrested Ellen Copard, the young girl in whose company the two men were on Saturday night. Renner has not been arrested. The anti liquor selling people of Washington are making an aggressive fight against the saloon keepers of that city with the object of preventing the issuance of licenses for the coming year.

Tbey have submitted to the Commissioners a list of the names of every saloon keeper convicted during the past year of selling liquor on Sunday, after hours, and to minors, and without a license. The liar contains the names of several of the principal swloon and restaurant keepers, including the proprietors of one of the largest hotels in the city. Minneapolis, Oot. 7. The Tribune to day published a dispatch from authoritative quarters to the following effect Despite many assertions said to be made on authority from Greystone that Tilden would under no circumstances consent to be the Presidential can.

did ate of the Democratic party in 1884, it may safely be set down that a desperate effort will be made to nominate the old tisket, with the full knowledge and consent of the two gentle jnen most directly interested. A short time ago Hendricks mads a quiet visit to Tilden and effected an adjustment of the misunderstanding which bad existed between them since the campaign of 1876, after which he disclosed the real object of his visit by trying to induoe Tilden to allow his name to so before the National Convention. It is intimated that Hendricks is actuated by the fact that Tilden is an old man and decidedly feeble, and that be, Hendricks, would have much of the work of the Presidential office to do, and would probably Decerns the President before the end of the term by reason of Tilden's death or total disability. TWENTY FIVE PERSONS INJURED. A Street Car ('IIMm with Vsvlsi FrclsUi Tria.

PirrsnuBo, Oot. 6. Last evening the brakes on a street car got out of order as the ear reached the top of a steep grade on Sandusky aireet, Allegheny City.

At a late meeting of the executive committee of the Philharmonic Society, a pleasing variety of entertainments, some sixteen in number, were mapped out for the coming winter. It is the iutention of the sooisty to furnish two of thess a month, and to have them of a obaracter to command admiration and access. From the hitherto well arranged and papular entertainments under the auspioes of tale society, it is safe to say for the coming entertainments that they will be equally ol eulaled to please the amusement going public Illaaaa ml PraHeaaae rraas i.aea,.

Anticipated. A special dlspatoh to the Mew York Timet says After a loon and tedious campaign the Ohio election, whioh is looked for with so much Interest tn all parts of the country, draws near at band. On Tuesday the respective parties cast their ballots, and prob ably at night it will known throughout the land which of the two great parties has been triumphant. The work of the oouteet, especially that of the Republicans, has been performed on an intelligent basis, and no time has been allowed to go to waste sinoe the State Convention in June. The nomination ot Judge Foraker by the Republicans was fortunate in the extreme.

It was onoe reoognixed throughout the country that ha was a man of marked ability, with spotless record as a soldier and judge. On the other hand, the Democratic Convention presented one of the basest and most vindica tive fights that ver oeourred in a nominating convention. Mr. Hoadly defeated Gen. Ward beoauBC of superior organix ttion and a larger amount of that factor whioh has of late years controlled Democratic Conventions.

The committee seleoted to oonduct the oampalgn of Mr. Hoadly was not one of his own ohoosing. In hot there was not an original noaaiy mi planed upon it. The Democratic work of or ganisation has been deferred and conducted in a bap baxard manner, and it Is not known to day in' what condition the nartv is. save from the amateur conductors.

The second amendment or prohibitory clause to be placed in the Constitution has, undoubtedly, been a stumbling block to both parties. neither darins to opdoss it. In the country diatriats it has oarried the day. and during the tact week has made itself felt even iu tne largercities. Ia the opening of the campaign the nrinoinal fieht mide by the Domoorale was in opposition to the 8cott bill but, it being so popular and In full force, and bring inr into the State Treasury $2,000,000 an nually.

The canvass here has been conducted upon local issues almost entirely, although the Demoorats have attemDted to inject tne temperanoe question their candidates being a German and one of the proprietor of the German TeUgrapK paper caliming to represent wnat it calls tne liberal element, and which says the liberal vote must remain actively in the Democratic nartv. for Republican success means tne ae etruction of millions of dollars' wotth of property and the invasion of tho private right to eat and drink what you please.

What effect this sort of an argument will have can not be told until aner tne votes are counted But the indications now are that the Repub lican ticket will be elected and the capital elty of the State maintain its Republican po sition.

This waa a hard hit at John Taylor, President of the church, who was tbe first to send his wives away, and hs did not call them together again until the onurcn conoiuaea to test tne constitutionality or tne act. Brighem Young, followed.

He said that the powers of darkness were strengthen ing to overthrow the Church of God; that Uiere never was a tims when they needed the power of the spirit so much, but that no power on earth could overthrow the Saints, and that stronger revelations than those they had reoeived were yet to oome.

COMPLETION BY THE CONTRACTORS. Aseapsaiiee by the city Wales Boars! Iraad Bansjetaa a tne Mlaeral srlBssHslel Tha apsssBMS. turn. i Ths saw Hampden reservoir, whioh was commenced, in April of laat year by Nolan ft the contractors of this great work, is now completed, and was furmalty asoepted by the Water Board oa SaturJay last. Th occasion waa celebrated by a visit of inspection by the Board of Water Commissioners, accompa nied by ths Mayor of the city, tb Judges of the Courts, the Cily Engineer, water superintendent and other city officials, representative of the press, and other invited guests.

The party, consisting of about thiily persona, left the office or F. 8. Jacobs. President or the Water Board, No. 26 North Sixth street, at 1 p.

and proceeded in carriages to the reservoir at Hampden and drew up on the embankment, when the works were firm tlly inspects! by those Immediately upon their arrival the water frjm the Olinger supply reservoir was turned on by Superintendent Harper, and poured into the new reservoir through the large supply pips by rapid flow. The rush of the water into the new res ervoir was witnessed with delight by all present, for all saw in it the consummation of a work that was long needed and must be of vast benefit to tbe growth and prosperity of the oity in future years. The following brief description of the new reservoir giv an ideaof it importance: tub xiv nsssavoin. The reservoir at the top is 670 feet long by 342 6 reel wide, and at the base 450 fset long by 237 6 feet wide. These slanting walls are oovered with a rook lining 18 inches thick.

The Water depth is 27 feet. The wat sur face when tilled win do oob net oy on reet. The reservoir has a capacity of 29,000,000 gallons. When filled to tbe heighth of the overflow pipe the water will etaad 102 feet above the water in the basins at Eleventh and Penn streets, and 274 feet above tbe river at the foot of Penu street, a height sufficient to reach any portion of ths city. Work on the raservoir ws eommsnoed in April of last year, according lo tha plans prepared by City Engineer Tvson, under whose euperint sodenoy tbe work waa done.

To doubly insure stahil ty to the reservoir a puddle lining was plaoed ou the inside, which was mads 10 feet wide on tbe bottom and 8 feet wide on tbe top. This was made in layers 4 inches thick, thoroughly welted and with a patent roller, or rammed. The whole inside of the baain is linsd with a stone pitching 18 inches thick, and presents a smooth, olean surfaoo. The valve bouse, fro in whence the water is drawn for the supply of the oily, is an admirable piece or work. Though the contract called only for rubble masonry In iu construction, tbe Messrs.

Nolan, at their own expense, iu order to turn out a creditable job, constructed it of dressed stone laid down in regular layers, of the nwt substantial character This outlet, which is in the middle of the westorn side fronting ths city, ia at the intersection of Robeson and Fourteenth streets. The water is conducted from the reservoir by openings 24x27 inches, through a wall 8 feet thick into an open chamber 7x9 feet, in wbioh are plaoed the screens and the ends of effluent pipes, and from wbioh the water is conducted to the oity. These pipes run through a wall 13 feet in thickness into an open valve culvert in which are plao. tha valves for the service and drain pipes. This culvert is 9 feet wide snd 10 feet 6 inches high to the sroh, which is beautiful pieoe of sandstone work.

The culvert opene to the outside or the embankment. The entire work is complete in every part and reflects the highest credit upon the theCity Engineer, who drew the plans, and under whose supsrinteudency the work was eon ducted throughout.

It eras the general remark that there waa mora speaking at this dinner thaa at aay other held ia this sity for assny years. Ths re ar ks were alt ta tbs sunt sot which brought ths sompany together Iks water supply sad ths progress and prosperity of Reading.

Ths opening' ed drees was by F. 8. Jacobs, reeiaentor tne water ttoard. who spoks a follows i i rSBSIDBXT JACOBS' AODBBSS. Mr.

CMearmem mrnd Gemtiemen. Thm eoesDle tios sf ths sew reservoir is certainly a sub jeot for essgratulstioa. While this work wss not begun during my term or smee, as oas or lbs sit'ssas I favored Us coaatraetioa. aad in Councils I felt it my duly to ear growing and prosperous elty to sia la securing wail we could, a bountiful supply sf water sad adequate facilities for Its distrlbutios. Our water supply is sue sf our cbiofest sttrsotloss, both as a plaos of reejdenss snd for eneoufaeluring purposes.

The satire cost of construction will not prove a heavy burden to our rapidly inorsaslng populatioa, aad I prediot that the lima will some wbsa ir water will bs furnished st lees cost to ths iadividual than at doas is aay ether city ia ths Uaioa similarly situalei. Honored with ths eeleetloa as presidsat of th body, sas sf my first duties, ss you will remember, was to adjust a difficulty whioh arose with refbrsase to the correct interpretatios or ths contrast with Messrs. 31 own. is. aetermiaatioa wa arrived st to do exact jostles waa met is a liberal and compromising spirit by th oontractsrs, sad ths solution of ths thraatsasd difficulty, I feel free to assert, met the approval of all of sur constituents.

The work now finished reflects credit upoa the contractors, and is aa endur ing monument, both to th geaute or our young City Engineer, and th fidelity ef tbe contractors. It hsa bets built Is stay, sad th wlsdsss of IU original soaseptioa ths credit ef which ia due to th senior member 'sf sur isrsl, Col. Addis a. ss wsll ss ths sx client 1 deeiga aad share our sf ths work isrsssgaised i with greater aaaaimUy thaa gsaeraily st, toads th coast ructioa sf pabii wsrks. bars some senssrvativs men tbey are a necessity 4a every sommnnity; tbey check a spirit ot undue extrsvaganoe.

We have, too, eome too economical men, men utterly without publio spirit, who do nothing except for themselves, and who grumble oontlnually at Eublis extravagance. But even these, in this letance, recognise that in tbia outlay, the city bss made a good investment; have provided for new sections of the city, a new snd Inorssaed supply of wster and made possible tbe improvement of new territory, thus promoting tb material growth of the elty. We must do something snd that speedily towaid tho better protection of our supply. Purer and better water was never stored and to keep it and supply it pure to our people must certainly be a eimple matter. I am assured that this trouble will soon be overcome.

We are here, gentlemen, as the guests of Messrs. Nolan, who have won the enviable reputation of honest and faithful oontraotora. We give them our assuranoe of oomplete satisfaction with the manner in which tbey performed this work, and as our beverage is little muddled just now. join with them in a toast to 'Loose Rook," the pavement to peace when oemented with the spirit of compromise. addrkss or crsns u.

dxrk, xsq. The Messrs. Nolan being next called out, Cyrus G. Dsrr, responded in their behalf. He said the work of the Messrs.

Nolan would speak for itself, and he believed it would speak eloquently throughout succeeding generations for tbe integrity of the contractors. No production or the mind or hand of man is subjected to suoh severe sorutiny as what is known as publio works. Ths book of the sr.o oossful author merely fades out of existence; tbe dwelling houses of bungling architects offend tb eyes of tha public for a generation and are then demoltehed to mak room for others; the lawyer'e mistakes are condoned and forgotten, and tho physician's, we are told, are buried underground, but tbe publio works of the contractors are expected to endur and are mad th subject of the critioism of that critio of critics, the taxpayer. Of all the productions of the earth the taxpayer ia the most oold and pitiless. Your business man is civil.

He has a smile for his customer, a cordial handshake for his client, a kind word for his patron. Your man of family is a being of His hssrt warms at the sight of hi wife, bis eyes moisten at beholding his children; hs btssses every one with the radiance of his geniat disposition. Your churchman kneels and worships, filled with love for bis rellow man, but your taxpayer scowls and his chief business is to find fault. His mild con versation is complaining. He swears his proper ty is assessed too high, the tax rate is enormous, the salaries of publio officials are exorbitant while the expenditures of the sobool Board are so unreasonable that the English language afforJs no words sufficiently i strong to characterise tbem and in the very madness of his oritioism, be has aotually dared to attack tbe Lord's aunointed, the members of the Water Board.

It is to the judgment of this complaining. cavilling, splsnstio, hypocritical wretch that put lie works are submitted. or course, be will aay this reservoir has cost too much. He baa already said so, but when he comes to criticise the quality of this work, he will be at loss. Your taxpayer, however, will wait.

He will say that time is the old justice that tries the integrity of suoh works. Time has tried the integrity of tbe masonry of aotiquity. He has made the arches and towers or the middle ages to orumble and fall, while tbe Roman aqueducts of more than a thousand years before still stand defying time snd the ages. Your taxpayer will wait. He is immortal.

Josh B.lllngs has said that 11 whenever a man makes himself universally troublesoms to his neighbor that man never dies." So it is with tbe taxpayer. When Time shall render his judgment your taxpayer will be on band to scowl at an adverse decision, but when Time shall render his decision iu this case it will be aa unqualified judgment in favor of the con. tractors. Our great great grandchildren will drink of the limpid uxors of this reservoir unflavored with fish; they will bless tbe contractors while they pay the interest on the money which it cost to build it; and the reser voir will stand a perpetual monument to ths fact that the characters or the contractor are as solid as the walls which it is their business to build. KDW1M r.

smith's bbmabks. Civil Engineer Edwin F. Smith, having been called upon by President Hagenman, said The ancient city or Rome was celebrated for the purity and abundance of its supply of water. Its purity was guaranteed, for it was drawn from ths springs of the Appenines. It was abundant, for tbe ancient cily supplied to its Inhabitants no less a supply thea two hua dred and sixty seven million (2U7.O0O,OUO) gallons per day.

And in what respect does our oity or Reading differ from the ancient oity The answer is only in the extent of the work. The Romans reoognixed thess 8 facts: That It was necessary to gather ths mountain st reams in an Impounding reservoir; that it was necessary to lead it to tbs city is sn enclosed aque duct, and lastly that it was necessary to serve tt to Its eitiseos rrom distributing basins. This is just what our city of Reading does to day, we nave our Aatietam lake. Bernhsrt dam our lines of pips, squeduots lesdiag to the city, and our distributing basins. uns or tnese, tn.

Hampden distrib. uting reservoir, we bsvs to day visited. It ia a completed work, perfect in every detail and a credit to its designer, sur City Engineer. Here let me ssy Ihst it is a work that will bear comparison with those or similar eharaoter in any eastern city. But, gentlemen, the remark haa been made here tbis evening that in tbe near future we will need to look for other sources ef supply.

That is true. It is wsll to provide for tbe storage or all tho water that now runa to waste during the rainy season in ths Antietam. But more is necrsssry; other pro. must be made. One matter was faithfully guarded by tbe ancient Romaae.

They protected the supplies for wbioh they had built sues costly work. Let act forget this Importaot matter. No city dependent upon mountain etreem csn aftord to sss II sources of supply ooutera lusted. Yea, lie supply even diminiahed from rear to year by ths devastation of the forsst bordering upon those streams. So tt seems to me, gentlemen, that the first problem to be met ie how shall we prsssrv oar pressat water supply; how shall we prevent thess mosataia atreams, that nature has Disced at our door, from being polluted snd turned into summer tnundsr gust streams.

Tbe only sn. ewer is, by acquiring by purchase the Issde embraced ia the water shed end allowing It to grow up ia timber. After that is dose we ssa ssly look ia tbe future to other sources of supply, of which fortunately for our city we have an abundance. The Angelioa Is near at hand, the Spring creek, as pure a mountain water ss anyone oould wish! tha Tulpshsokss, aad others, given tn na as a gift for ths upbuilding sad sarishment ef our city. Aad now, gentlemen, one word mors for the work that has been formslly completed to day; I have seen a great many public works.

I am aoquaiated with tbs water supply of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore asd ths sastera siliee, sad Bowasre hsve I seen a work any mors carefully executed in detail than tha Hampdea reservoir.
