[OFMAYER
& JONES,
The framework for the tower to be
erected on the union passenger depot
has been raised, and it improves the
looks of the building wonderfully.
The freight agents say that they ex
pected to be having a little rest from
the melon business by this time, but
that the shipments seemed to be in
creasing instead of decreasing.
The waterworks pipes are being
unloaded from the cnrs on North
Btreet, near the Welch residence, and
distributed all over the city. A num
ber of drnys are engaged in the 'work,
which will soon be finished.
Several carloads of the piping for
the city waterworks are on the siding
in North street, between Jackson and
Jefferson streets,and drays commenced
hauling it this afternoon. From this
It would appear that work on the
waterworks will soon begin.

The “boys” ln“Smoky Bow” marched
to the Democratic mass meeting In a
body Thursday. They called themselves
Tammany, and Magistrate Greer, Al
derman Cassidy and Baseball Mana
ger Adolph Plonsky formed the lead
die and marched at the head of the
jolly procession. They made merry
all along the line of march, and when
they reached the hall took possession
of the seats immediately to the right
of the entrance, where they held forth
and made themselves heard through
out the proceedings of the convention.
This Tammany demonstration was al
together an Impromptu affair, but the
boys had their fun and took off the
great New York political organization
that figures in bur national Democratic
conventions to perfection.

Dirt will probably be broken on
Tuesday next for laying some of the
pipes and mains of the waterworks
system. Mr. Chase Is all ready for
commencing the work, but a few ob
stacles will prevent anything being
done before Tuesday. Mayor Gilbert
stated to a Herald reporter this
morning that unless some one filed an
injunction against the city, based on
extremely solid facts and reasons, the
work would undoubtedly commence
Tuesday, except in case of rain or
some suoh cause that will make it im
possible to work. It is a fact gener
ally conceded, that It might somewhat
impair the sanitary condition of the
city to excavate the streets deep
enough to lay the sewerage mains
during the heat of the summer and it is
deemed advisable to wait till fall or win.
ter to commence this work. However,
digging up the earth to the depth of a
few feet, all that will be necessary to
lay the waterworks mains, will not at.
all injure the health of the city.

Condition of Thing! on the l«t of *fulf«
To-morrow will be the 1st of July,
the hottest month of the year, unless
perhaps August. The month is ushered
in with melons rolling,out of the
fields and off to the markets by the
thousand, plenty of rain on the crops,
which are neither very good nor very
oad, though they were almost ruined
by the long drouth of May and a part
of June. The country is hard up for
money, but Albany is holding up her
head and keeping up with the front
ranks in the march of progress.
July’s advent also sees extensive
improvements going on in Albany.
The union passenger depot, so long
clamored for by the people, is going
up; residences are being erected in
all parts of the city. Work has com
menced on the waterworks system
and mains are being hauled and dis
tributed all over the city. The con
tract has been let for the machinery
and tower for the system, and work
will continue to be pushed rapidly,
The City Council assembled in reg
ular session at the Counoll Chamber
Monday night.
But the venerable City Fathers did
not attend to ordinary affairs, for a
more Important matter lay before
them.
The scaled bids for the tower, en
gines, boilers, etc., for the {waterworks
system of the city of Albany had been
received, and, a> has been advertised
in the Herald for some time paBt, last
night was the time set for the open
ing of the bids.
The roll board of Aldermen was
present, and when his Honor, Mayor
Gilbert, called the meeting to order,
twelve senled bids lay on the table be
fore him.
Alderman Weslosky offered a reso
lution empowering the Clerk to open
the bids, which was carried. Clerk
BiiBt then opened and read the follow
ing proposals:

Each bid was accompanied by acertl
fled check for $600, to be held as a guar
antee for falthful performance of the
work. .
The bill of the Walker, Evans ft
Cogswell Co, for printing the water
works and sewerage bonds was re
ferred to Clerk Bust, who was re
quested to correspond with the firm in
regard to the matter, as the bonds had
been rejected by the parlies to whom
they had been sold.
Mr. Chase stated to Council that he
had a man un hand ready to begin
work; thut some of the pipes and
valves that were needed had not yet
arrived, but the pipes for several mains
being on hand, work of laying them
could begiu at once.
The representatives of the Schofield
Iron Works and the George E. Crafts
Co, were sent for, and stated to Coun
cil suoh matters about their bids as
were necessary to make the matter
clear.
The bids were then awarded as fol
lows :
For the iron tower, eighty feet high,
and tank, fifty feet high, total 180 feet,
to the George E. Crafts Co, of Atlanta,
their bid being $8,200.
The bid of J. S. Schofield ft Son, of
Macon, $1,115, for boilers, staok, etc.
was awarded. A brick stack may be
erected, and in thiB case Messrs. Scho
field ft Son’s representative agreed to
deduct $65 for the iron stack.
For the three pumps, the bid of the
Dean Steam Pump Co, of Holyoke,
MasB, for $2,050, was accepted.
It was then decided that the George
E. Crafts Co, of Atlanta, be required
to give a bond of $5,000 for the faith,
ful performance of the work of ereot-
ing the tower. The representative of
the firm stated that the bond would be
given at once; also, that the tower
would be completed in four months
after the signing of the contract.
No further business, the Council ad
journed.
From Monday's Kvksiko Hskai.ii.
Three pistol shot* rang out on the
damp midnight air last night, arous
ing everybody in the central part of
the city. They were fired by Police
man Baley, who got into a scrimmage
with Ed Sheppard, a Negro who works
for Mr. C. M. Shackelford, over in East
Albany.
To a reporter of the Herald Mr.
Baley said, to-day, that he was on his
way home, just after' being relieved at
midnight, and when In front of the
jail, on Washington street, two Ne
groes passed him.
“There goes that Polieeman now."
said one of the Negroes, who proved to
be Ed Sheppard, to his companion.
The ofitcer stopped and said some
thing to the Negro, and received an
Impudent and defiant reply. At this
he advanced upon the Negro, and un
dertook to take hold of him. The
Negro jerked away from the policeman
and struck him. He then started to
run, and Baley drew his pistol and
told him to stand or be would shoot him.
But the darkey “lit out,” and when he
did, the officer fired his pistol into the
ground for the purpose of frightening
him and perhaps induoing him to stop.
But there was no stop—the pistol
only caused the fleeing darkey to in
crease his speed. Two more shots were
fired by the officer as he pursued the
Negro up Washington street and into
Pine. In front of Carter ft Wolfolk’s
warehouse, Haley ran into the wagon
scales that are in the street and
sprained his foot, but a young man
named Parish, who works at one of
the railroad yurds, met the fleeing
darkey and caught him. The darkey
grappled with Parish, but the latter
managed to detain him until the offi.
cer reached him.
Sheppard continued to resist after
Raley got hold of him, and was
dubbed two or three times. He spent
the balance of the night in the guard
house.

Saturday night and Sunday, showed
the reporter the drawings of two mag
