Alderman Proudflt’s bill, giving to dwell er. upon Second itreet a certain amount of ground for park., was a movement in the right direction. It Is to be regretted that no one ha. as yet availed himself of the privilege. The land is given in perpe tuity though it cannot be built upon, nor can it be joined to the lots from which the sidewalks cut it off. Still it can be made very ornamental and attractive. It will cast only about $1 to fence in the space granted in front of each lot. The vehicle Two years ago, Captain John F. Fort travel Is thereby confined to the middle of mulcted hi. artesian well at Hickory tho street, and the dust is not so annoy- leiel near Di cker’s station, in Dough- ing. 6econd street people ought now to agree upon a plan for a fence, enclose the space granted by the city, set out another row of oaks and turn the inclosure into lawns and flower gardens. It would beau tify the street, and make property more valuable by making it more desirable. And this system ought to lie pursued all over the city. Our streets are not too wide. The space allows of a generous cir culation and precludes the possibility of nythlng like a general conflagration. But our roadways are two wide. If the council will give the people all over the city per mission to convert fifteen or twenty feet next the sidewalks on both sides the street into parkg or lawns, or flower gardens, Macon's unsightliness will disappear, and the great problem of good roads be partly solved. For it must Level, near _ cr ty county, and gave to Georgia a hint she has not been slow to act upon. I was present upon the day following the first flow of water, and gave to the public, through the TanEOBArn, a descript.on or methods pursued in carrying on the work. I remember, after the beauties of the lim pid waters had been fully discussed, we made nn examination of tho old well. The water drawn out was rotten limestone wa- tor. and had the appearance of being mixed with milk. A quart of milk emptied into .bucket of clear water would give a mix ture verv similar to it. “This water, and the presence of that pond out yonder,” said Captain Fort, “have together given this place a death-rate as high as thirty per cent in one year. I have dispensed with this water by means of an artesian well. I believe I can dispose of the pond in the same way.” We walked over to the pond, a muddy accumulation ot water in a lime sink covering about two acres and a half and having a depth of ten feet in the centre. "While boring the artesian well up yonder,” said the propricter, "I noticed that at eighty! five feet from the surface, the stream of water we were driving in through the drill pipe suddenly disappeared. It was evi dent we had struck a hollow in the earth. It occurred to me that a hole might be bored down through the • centre of thla'pond aud the bottom knocked out, thus affording a drainage.” “Recently,” said Capt. Fort, meeting me on the street, “I have demonstrated that the theory advanced was practical, began boring in the centre of my pond, having first constructed a crib and plat form for my apparatus. The level of the pond was thirty-live feet below the mouth of the well and the pond was ten feet deep. To strike the cave or bot tom mentioned would require forty feet of boring. 1 began the work under great difficulties and met with greater. I struck solid rock and from one cause or another the work has been delayed for many months. Finally, however, I got everything together and began again Whilo my men were at work the drill sud denly dropped through and a sharp rush of air from below caused the water about the crib to boil and bubble. The darkies immediately threw themseves into a boat and pulled for the shore, badly frightened. When quiet was restored we went out and unjulnted the pipe at the bottom of the pond and the waters began to flow out steadily. When I left home it was only- eight inches deep where it had been ten feet, and was stUl flowing ouL I have wire screen over the entrance and rocks piled over that to keep mud and trash away. A thorough drain has been estab lished.” The Senate Discusses Free Ships- Rambling Speech by Mr. Eaton on the Tariff—The Kellogg Farce Ended—Notes. [tblegrafusd to tub associated PRESS.j be apparent that the withdrawing of forty feet space from each street will greatly diminish the labor and expense of keeping up the streets. Of course this plan will not answer in the business por tions of the city. But in snch portions the city itself ought to park the middle of the streets. I am informed by Capt. J. M. Johnson that arrangements are being perfected whereby Americus is to have a railroad out to Gum Creek, a fine business point about twenty miles distant and in Dooly county. It is thought that this road can be placed in readiness for the rail for about $2,500 per mile, and that no difficulty will attend the efforts to raise the necessary money. It is the intention of the Central road to furnish the rail and equipments. This road, when completed, will give Amcricns a large slice of new business and will develop a ricli section of Dooly. Sup pose this road were made the beginning of a system extending directly east? Rambler.

To my surprlso I found water at a depth ot thirteen and n holt feet below the level ot my pond, or three feet below the bottom.
