Powder The water works people were unfortunate in the selection of the time for cming to Bloomiugton. Had their visit been deferred till August or September, wlieu the earth is parched and the streams have disappeared, any proposition that would insure the putting in of a plant might have been eagerly accepted. l$ut if was ordered otherwise. The meeting at the eity council chamber on Tuesday night litf-f, was largely attended and the discussion that followed was pointed and sometimes quite peppery. It was understood that the proposed contract would give four miles of mains within the city limits, and with sixty hydrants the council thought it was placing too many fifty dollar hydrants in too small a space of mains, Mr. Starr stated that the plant could not be put in on a more liberal basts and pay a reasonable interest on the investment, and as the council voted solidly against the ordinance as presented, a quietus was placed upon further proceedings. Tbe ordinance presented last Tuesday night differed from that passed twice before by our city council in but one particular, the clerk informs the Progress, viz i the fixing of a minimum and maximum price at which the plant might be purchased by tbe city after five years. So that we adhere to our first assertion that the condition of the weather had more to do with the defeat of the water works proposition tbau many are willing to admit. Instead of growing weary of tbe business and withdrawing from the militia as it was predicted many of the Bloomington boys would, the company is being strengthened by new members every week. In the course of his remarks in Kirk wood Avenue Episcopal church, Sunday a wetk, Rev. Jenckes said that certain events during the year 1892 would surely satisfy the people that his prediction of the milleium was well founded. Joe evidently believes he's right. During the discussion of the wsiter works question in the cily couucil chamber it was asserted that a man could go out with a subscription paper and get enough stock taken in six days to place a plant in operation (about 00,000). It would be a very interesting experiment, and a number of our people who are groaning under stone quarry assessments and electric light plant expenses have a curi osity to see it tried. Snow fell rapidly Wednesday night, Mav 18th, in this place, just a few minutes before 12 o'clock. Jno. K. Anderson is entertaining Mrs. Lou. Shultz and son, and Mrs. Montgomery of Georgetown, Texas. C. P. Xuley was placed on the Prohibition ticket for the office of Treasurer of Marion county, by the convention held in Indianapolis recently.

Judge Fields for the railroad claimed that they were not bound, as the man was not employed by any one having authority.
