The melon crop does not last long, but It bring* in good reoelpts while it does last. Sons of the waterworks pipes are large enough for a good sized boy to orawl through.

[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 WATERWORKS.

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.

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. 250 10. 0 grown Pigeons, at 12)4 of 8 apiece, -tf C. M. Shackelford. 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: Cameron Barclay Co., Charleston, three pumps, $2,700. Two boilers, stack, eto., $1,280.

Kriegshaber, Atlanta, two boilers, etc, $2,050. * 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. Five Helpful IIluu. Ladles’ Home Journal. A slice of apple or tomato rubbed over the hands will remove ink or berry stains.

Gunn, while in the city Saturday night and Sunday, showed the reporter the drawings of two mag nificent buildings to be put up in Al bany at an early day. One is a large four-story building block to be put up on Washington street, and the other the hew courthouse for- Dougherty county. If the buildings are to be any. thing like the drawings, and we pre sume that’s just what they will be, there will be no handsomer buildings in the State. Albany is one of the corning oltles of South Georgia, and these nqvy buildings will add mo. little to the already attractive appearance of the oity. Mr. Gunn, the arohiteot of these buildings, is well known in Thomasvllle, where he lias planned and superintended the erection of a number of onr best buildings.
