of llie opening scene In llie English Parlia

wa making at the tluie. The material jxir
Ilium of the text of this famous ultoratice are
hern given :
The time has arrived when both honor and
ilnly roriilre I'arllatiient te ceme Ien decis

harmonious relations tiotweflii ("ireat llrltalu

In which Englishmen, Scetchmen and Irish Irish
inen Inive n llke Interest
'I'h It sentiment was greeted with, pro
longed cheer. As neon ns quiet was re
stored Mr. (lladstoue eutered uien a brief
rovlew of tlie general features of past leglsla leglsla
Hen ler Ireland. Ile dwelt upon llie ooor eoor oeor
clvonud repressive measure which had been
put In for co trout tlmn te time, and dopro depro dopre
catod any further resort te thu rude remedies
or lutluililatlen.
Hlnce the year 1KU, he said, only two yearn
have passed without coercive legislation for
Ireland, nnd In spltoefall this, the law con
tinues le hodlsrcgirded Ixvause it Is In vosted
in thu eye of thu Irish with n foreign aspect
Wern turthcr coercion te Imj wiccessful. It
would require two conditions autocracy of
thu government and llie secrecy of pulille
transactions. ( I'arnclllle cheers.) The
mainspring or llm law In nnglaud It felt te
be Eugilsh ; In Scotland, te be Scotch. Hut
In Ireland It It net loltte be Irish. The llrst
condition nfclvlllred life In Ireland deuianda
tli.il thu people have contldimce 111 the law
and fi.ruiputhy therewith. Thu probleiu,
therelum, boferii I'arllaiuunt at thu present
tiuii) N te ris-onelle Imperial unity with the
diversity of legislatures.
I'A1U.IAMI:.ST at iit'ni.ix.
Ile believed that llie government had
lennd the solution el thlt problem In the
establishment of a Parliament al Dublin for
the conduct of business lmth legislative and
administrative. (Loud cheers by tlie Par
nellltcs.) Thu npealcur said be would new Jain te the
plan bow (egive Ireland a legislature te deal
with Iritli as distinguished from Imperlul
ntlalrs. (ileart) Ile was confronted at the
outset with what he full te lien formldabte
dilemma. Ireland was te have a domestic
legislature ler Irish allalra. That was bit
postulate, from which he net out. Werothe
Irish meuilept aud llie Irish representative
HH.'ni In cither Itouseto contlnue le form
jail of the representative assemblies? The
speaker thought It would be perfectly clear
thatlf Ireland was te have a domestic legls
latum the Irish poers and the Irish repre
sentatives could notcetno te Parliament te
control KngllMi and Scotch allalra. (Cheers.)
Then, w ltd regard te the question whother
Irish representatives should ceme te the
Heuse ei Commens for the settlement of Im
perial affairs, he thought that could net be
done, lie bad, therefore, arrived at the con
clusion that Irish inoniherM and Irish peer
ought net tnslt in the palace of Westminster.
(Oli! eh t ami cheers.) If Irish members
worn initie sit in the llouse or Commens,
Irish poers eulit net te alt In tlie ether
llouse of Parliament. (Heart hear ' aud
eh I) Hew were the Irish people te be taxed
irtliey had legislators In both countries T lie
bellaetl Ihntdreat llrltalu would never lm lm
sxie uism Ireland taxation without repru repru
nentatien, and added : " If we were le have
taxation without representation then tliere
would ceme another question which ques
tion would raise a prai'tlcal dllllculty, and
that Is, nre we te g'.e up that 11 seal unity or
theemplreT"
Hit uid net think that by Kivlng up tlie
liw-.tl unlt, of tlie empire Uiey were k'Uiik
up the unity or the umpire, lie, however,
Meed upon the substantial ground tiiat te
Klve up the fiscal unity of the empire would
l.ea public Inconvenlence and mlsrortune.
It would boa great misfortune for Ireland,
llu conceived that ene eacape from that di
lemma would lie Midi an arrangoment as
would give the luierlal geeriimunt author
ity te levy custema dntlea and Hiich oxcbie
dutlesasweie luimodiately counected with
thoeiistems. The conditions e( such an ar
rangement were, llrst, that the general
IKiwer of taxalinii ever and above thone par
ticular duties aheuld pawi unequivocally
into the hands of adomeatle legislature In
Ireland ; MSMndly, that the proceeds el the
customs nud excises should be for the leno lene
tit of Ireland and ter the discharge of the
obligations of Ireland, aud the payment of
llie lial.iuce after theso obligations were dis
charged should be entored Inte the Irish ex
chequer and Is) for the froe disposal of the
Irish legislative body.
The government bill provided for this, aud
the bill thou provided that representatives of
Irelaud should no longer sit In the llouse of
Commens or Irish poers in the Heuse of
l.erdH, but ut thoaame lime they would have
the right et addressing the crown, and ae
pesHas all the constitutional rights they held
new. (Oh! aud cheers). It would, there there there
fere. relieve Irish members from attendance
at Westminster.
Mr. Gladstone faid hu had several resens
why this should be the ease. Kveu If it was
tiosilble for them te attend, as they had a
Parliament or their own, it would be very
illlllcultle have two classes of uietnbeni in
the llrltlsh Heuso ene class who could vote
en all questions connectod with tbe business
of the (euntry, and another which could
only vote en special and particular questions
which were brought bofVire Parliament,
Again, It would be xery difllcult for gentle
men In Ireland le doclde who should gote
Wostmluster or who should remain In lro lre
laud. And, at the same lime, te maintain the lis
cal unity et the nation, there is another point
with tegard te the powers or the legislature.
Te-urses might have tioen taken. One
wasjendew this legislative body with par-tlcySfi-
legislative powers ; the ether was le
exffcit Ireui the xphore of its action theso
sujftptcta which the government thought
eilf )t te be excopted and te leave le it every
ether power. Tlie latter plan bad been
adopted. The administrative power would
pass with the legislative power. The dura
tion of the proposed loglsfatlve body should
net exceed live yeara.
The Junctions which It was proposed te
withdraw from thecognlzance of the legisla
tive body were three grand and principal
functions, viz i everything which related te
ma crown ; an inai winch belonged te the do de do
fense, the army, the navy, the entire organi
zation of the armed force; and our foreign
and colonial relations. It would net be coin
potent te pass laws for the establishment or
endowment of any particular religion
(cluers). As te trade, and navigation, It
would be a mlsfortune te Ireland te be sepa
rated from Kngland. The Irish Parliament
would have nothing le de with colnage or the
creation or legal tender. The subject of the
postelllco would be left te the judgment of
Pari anient, though the gevernment Inclined
te the vlew that It would be mere convenient
toleave poitelUoo matters In the hands of the
IMistmasier-general. Quarantine and ene or
me ether subjects wero left in the Lame
rategery.
co)ii'(iaiTieN or Tin: i'aiu.iamknt.
The next subject he had te approach was
that of the composition of the proposed
legislative body. The bill pruposed te Intro Intre Intro
tllire two orders who would sit and deliberate
together, with the right of voting separately
ou any occasion and en the demand el either
body, which fch enld be able te Interpose a
vole upon any meaaure for a limited lime,
either until a dissolution or for three years.
The orders would be constituted as fellows i
Klrst, there were the twenty-eight represent
live peers, who could net continue te sit In
tua Heuse of Ixml, alter the repreaenUtl ves
of the Irish r oeplo lelt the Heuse of Commens.
Tliev would have the option of sitting as a
portion of the Writ order la the Irish Pari fo
ment, with the power of sitting for life,
Heme people thought ibat option waa uet
likely te te largely used, but the speaker
wasnotel that number. (Hearlhaarl) He
proposed that with the twenty-eight peera
new ja the Heuse of Lords, tbere sleuIU ait
183.
Noventy.tUe ropresontallvos olected by Hie
Irish poeplo.
With regard te the lowers el olectlon, the
constituency would be couiesed of occuplers
ofthevaluonf i.Z' and upwards, and they
would be elected for Ien years. The pro pre pro
erty (tiallflmllnns of theso ropresenlatlves
would be JC200 annual value en a capital
value of 1,000. Mr. (Iladstone thou said
that the lilt Irish tuombers In tbe Heuse of
Commens should ,0 members of the Irish
Parliament, and whilst the first order of the
legislative body would consist of 1CK1 mom
tar, the second order would consist of 'JOiV.
IHKt.ANIl's VICKIIOr IlKTAINKH.
It was proposed te retain the viceroy, but
he would net be the ropresontatlvo el a parly
or (iilt olllce with the outgoing government
The queen would be ompewored todelegate
te mm any proreganvo siie new enjeyeu or
would enjoy, The rollgleus disability new
existing which makes ltemau Catholics In In
elhrlble te the olllce, would be romnved.
With regard te the Judges who had been
concerned In the administration et the crimi
nal Iaw In Ireland, her majesty might, If alie
saw cause, by erder In council, antedate the
(tensions of theso particular Judges. In fit fit fit
tiirothe Judges would lie apielnted by the
Irish government, be paid out of the consoli
dated fund and tlie removals only ou the
Joint address of the two orders. The consta
bulary would remaln under the present
terms of aorvlce and under their presunt au
thority. The charge for tbe constabulary
was new JUl,500.0oe per annum, and the
spoaker felt cenlldent the charge would be
reduced, but, for the present, he proposed te
rollevo the IrUh legislative body or all ex
penditure for tlie constabulary Iti oxcehs of
. 1,000,000 per annum. The governinont bad
no desira te exempl tbe peace of Ireland, In
reference te Its final position, from thoultl theultl thoultl
mste control of the Irish legislative body.
The Kpeakfr had no Jealeusy upon that
subiect, as the care of providing for the
ordinary R(H.-nrlly of llfe and preperty was
the first duty el a local government.
With restxs-t te the civ II servlce, the gev
ernment ma net inniK meir case was me
same us that of the constabulary, and thu
transfer el the civil service te tlie legislative
body would ellect a great economy. He,
therefore, thought it would be wise te
autherise the civil dervauU, new snrvlug, te
claim thu pensions thai would no uue te
them uiteii the abolition of their olllces, pro pre
vliled they served two years, in erder te pro pre pro
veutluceiivenloiico from a rapid transition et
the service, and at the close of that time both
parties should be free te negotiate afresh.
That was all, Mr. Oladstoue slated, that he
had te say en the subject of the uuw Irish
constitution.
IIUSII TAXATION.
The proportion of the imperial bunions
which he had te propeso that Ireland should
beir wasone te fourteon. He thought that
the new Irish I'arllamenteught te start with
a balance te Its credit, but the only fund It
would have If left atene would be the solitary
20.000 from the Irish church fund, llu
knew no way of providing the noceasary
inoney oxcepl by carving it out of tills year's
budget, and he proposed that In the luture
Ireland should pay one-tlflooulh toward the
Imperial oxpcmllture.
lie went et; te speak or hew much Ireland
would gain by ex porting spirits le (5re.it llrl
talu, aud bow much (I reat llrltalu would leso
te Ireland by the Hew of inoney from ene te
thu ether. As the losullef caretut Inquiry
he stated with ceulldence, net as an actual
demonstration, but as n matter et certainty,
with regard te the far greater portion that
the Irish receipts would gain from Oreat Bri
tain a sum that would amount te no toss a
total than 1,400,000 per annum. He then
entered Inte an elaborate calculation of the
total Incomeand expandlturaa of Ireland, In
thu course of which he stated that the total
charge te Ireland as an Imperial contribution
be put at 3,'.M'A000 per annum.
lie slated, as an Instance or the intense ile ile ile
inorullr.itlen of the Irish administration, that
wbile tbe postelllco In Kngland showed a
large surplus, In Ireland it Just juld Its ex
lenses. He estimated the total expenditure of Ire
laud, Including a payment as a sinking fund
for the Irish portion of tbe national debt, at
7,010,000 per niinum ; against that there was
a total income of S,.'I50,eik or a surplus le
the geed or 101,000.
"It has naturally been said tu Kngland and
Scotland," continued Mr. Ulailsteue, 'that
for a great many ycais past we have been
struggling te pass geed laws for Ireland, and
that webavu H.tcrllIced our time, neglected
our Interests and paid our money, aud we
have dene all this in the endeaver te give
Ireland geed laws. That Is qulte true, w 1th
legard tu the general course of legislation
since 1310. Many of theso laws have been
passed under an Inlluonce which I can
hardly doscribe ethor than as the Inlluonce
et fear."
rm: i.anii (jt'KbTie.v.
With regard te the history el the land
question no man would knew that until he
had followed it from year te year, begliiulng
with the Deven commission, the appoint
ment of which, in tbe speaker's opinion, did
the hlghest honor te the memory of Sir Itob Iteb Itob
ert Peel (cheers), and then oxamlue the
mode In which the whole luber et the com
mission had been frustrated by the domina
tion or saltish Interest 1 (Parnolllte cheers.)
Ile did net deny the geed intentions of the
i llrltlsh Parliament te pass geed laws ler Ire
land, but In order te work out the purposes
of the goverument tbere la something mero
n this world occasionally roqulred than the
passing ei geed laws. (Henri bear 1) It Is
sometimes uecessary uet only that geed laws
should be passed, but also that they should
be iiasscd by the projier persons. Tlie pass
lug of many geed laws Is net enough lu cases
vvhsre the strong Instincts of the peo
ple, distinct marks et character, situation
and history, require net only that
theso laws should be geed, but that they
should proceod Ireui congenial and native
sources; and that besides being geed laws
they should lie thelr own laws. (Irish
cheerH.) At times I doubted whether this
necessity had been fully developed, and os es os
peclally with rospect te Ireland. If doubts
could be ontertalned before the last general
election they cannot new be emoruilued.
The principle 1 have laid down 1 am uet
laying down for Ireland exceptionally. It Is
the very principle upon which, within my
recollection, te the Immense advantage of
the country. Parliament has net only al
tered but revolutionized our methed of gov
ernment. Wbeu 1 held olllce at the colonial
olllce lllty years age, the colonies were gov
erned Irem Downing street. Tbe result was
that the home governinont was always lu con
diet with theso countries which had legisla
tive assemblies. We had continual shocks
with the colonies thou. Hut all that has been
changed. The llrltlsh Parliament tried te
pass geed laws for tbe colonies, but the
colonies said : "We don't want your geed
laws; we want our own geed laws," and
Parliament at length admitted the roasonablo reasonablo roasenablo
uoiss et this principle. This principle has new
ceme home te us from across the seas, and
the llouse bes uew te consider whether It Is
applicable te tbe case et Irelaud.
"We new stand fsce te face with what Is
formed Irish nationality,' venting Itselt In a
demand for general sell-government In Irish,
net In imperial allalra."
1 u conclusion, Mr. (lladstoue said : " I held
that there Is such a thing as local patriotism,
which in Itself Is net bad, but geed. (Choers).
llie w el simian is lull or local patriotism.
TheScetchman If full oriecal patriotism. Ne I
Scotch nationality is as strong as It evor was,
and lr the need wero te arise, I liellove It
would be as ready te assert Itself as it was in
the days of llanneckburn. Cheers.
"irf read Irish history aright, misfortune
and calamity have wedded her beiis te their
soil with an embrace vet closer than is known
elsewbere i and the Irishman is still mero
profoundly Irish ; but It does net fellow that
liocause his local patriotism Is strong he
should be inrapabloefan imperlal patriotism.
A IIIIILI.IANT l-KHOUATION.
"There are two modes of rtresentlng the
subject which I have argued. One of them
Is te present what we new recommend as
geed, and the ether Is te present it as a
choice et evils aud as the least among the
varied evils witli which as possibilities we
are confronted. Well, I have argued the
matter as If it had been a choice of evils. I
have recognized as facta and as entitled te at

ground aa the only ground en which it can
be recommended, net only te a mixed audi

that It Is thus by the docrees of the Almighty,

1lvel)tittrt Ofipoftltleit.
The conclusion of Mr. Gladstone's speech,
which lasted three hours and tvvonty-llve
minutes, xvas greeted with enthusiastic cheers,
alter which Ooergo Otte Trevelyan, recently
resigned as secretary for Scotland, speke In
opposition te tbe H lad st ene plan. "Hew

submitted should becoine a law, liefore the

have no hesitation In saying that 'I ihlnk
cemplete reparation of Ireland from Creat

of government that has Just been pro pre pro
jiesod. We should then knew thu
worst at once." As an altornative wheme,
Mr. Trevelynn said be would propeso that
the execution or tlie law and the maintenance
of order should be maintained In the hands
of the central government. Then he would
propeso the creation or certain local bodies,
which should boceuiisosod of members free
ly elected. These bodies should be entrusted
with and held responsible for many et tlie
subordinate functions or government, such
as providing for education, superintending
the details of local geverment, providing for
the relief or the peer, aud se forth.
Mr. l-arueir Kepty.
At the conclusion of Mr. Trevelyan's
Hpeeeb, Mr. Par neil arese nnd was roceived
with cheers by the Irish members. Hu con
gratulated Mr. Trevelyan en having, llke the
Vrench general who had nusuccesslully de
fended Paris en his own plan a plan, how hew how
ever, which did net seem te awaUen much
enthusiasm in the Heuse Mr. Trevelyan, he
said, hail stated why he had lelt the govern
ment, but net why he had reslgned bis pest
as chiet becretary. (Cheers from the Irish
bonchet). Mr. Pnrnell then went en te jus
tify his past utterances and action which bad
been Impugned by Mr. Trevelyan. Sioak Sieak Sioak
IngerAmcrlcnaudthe assassination lite rature
which came from America, Mr. Pamell said
that most el tbe llloniture was neither Ameri
can nor Irish literature. "If Mr. Trevelyan,"
he continued, "were te study the literature
or America at this moment 'he would find
that sympathy for the Just settlement of the
grievances of Ireland by the consesslon of a
douiestlc legislature is shown by all classes,
whether Irish or natlvo-bern Aniericans, and
moreespeclalIyth.it native-bem Americans
are welcoming the cllerts el Mr. Gladstone,
in the belief that will bring peace between
Kngland nnd Ireland, and mera especially
lietween Irish-Americans and Kngland. It
is a remarkable tact that theso great meetings
new bring bold lu favor or an Irish legisla
ture nre mainly called together and or
ganized by natlv e-lsirn Americans, byoditers
and conifucters of Irlsh-Americau novvs nevvs

entirely gaining the sympathy of tbe two

the Ke en hi leans.) A geed omen of thu

As te thu bill bolore tbe Heuse, whlle re
serving bis full expression or opinion until
he had seen the bill, Mr. Parnell congratu
lated the llouse ou the fact that there was
still living an Knfilish statesman who, could
dovnte his attention te this Important matter,
nnd begged te thank Mr. Gladstone for what
would net only prove a benellclal measure
trem the;irisli isiiut of vlew, but which he
(l'arnell) believed would be found te be of
equal beneilt te Kngland. The bill, never
theless, contained blots which the Irish
representatives would de their host te re
move. One et theso was te lie found
In the lliiaecial proposal el the bill,
which he regarded us verv unfavor
able te Ireland, especially "in regard
te the Irish trllmle te thu Imperial ex
chequer. Ile also complained el tlie propo prepo
sition relative te the tun orders intended te
constitute the Irish Parliament, ou the ground
that the first order, consisting et Peers net
subject te the Inlluonce of thu popular vete,
would have the power of banging up
mcasurea demanded by thu pi-ople and their
representatives ler two or three years. On

and Hale li I-e ked Up.
The following dispatch from Pittsburg has
refereuce te two individuals w he left by no
means savory reputations behind them after
thelr recent visit here :
" A little evor n week nge dodgers wero
distributed about the streets in Pittsburg,
announcing in flaming terms that Drs. Hale
and l-'enner, the celebrated specialists, had
arrived In tow u. They announced theinael vet)
as lensees of I-afayotte hall, with llruce
Chantlbraud as business manager, nnd the
' Magnelia minstrels ' en deck. A tree show
was premised the public, and en the pro pre pro
grammealllxod te thepesters highly scientific
lectures, alternating with double shullles
and variety songs were premised. Dr. 1'on 1'en
ner, the eighth wonder et the w erld, premised
te extract teeth with swords and whlpc, in
the twinkling of an eye, but without pain.
Dr. Hale, the editor and proprietor of Health
and Heme, New Yerk, a pajer with n circu
lation of 200,000, was te perform miraculous
cures with a remedy knew n only te himself.
In spltu of the bad weather at the begin
ning of tbe week the Lafayolte hall lectures
and varlety performances were well attended,
and the two 'doctors' made money. They
both lived at the Monengakcla heuse, and
succeeded in quieting any doubt in the mind
of the manager by relating stories of their
possessions elsewhere. Dr. Hale represented
himself te be the proprietor of two papers in
New Yerk, beside Jlealth anil Heme, of a
slxteen-roein house In Washington City and of
valuable real estate in Irglnl.i, Illinois and
Minnesota. Other linns were led te give
credit In tlie same way. As tbe week wero
en some of the creditors eutside thu hotel
grew a little restless, and ene et them pre
sented a bill again aud again, uutil they du
ally induced Dr. Hale te give n draft en a
Washington bank In payment
The dratt was forwarded for collection aud
returned protested. This exploded the iniue,
but net before Dr. Kennerhad mysterieusly
disappeared. Dr. Hale was arrested Thurs
day morning and the claims poured In Ireui
every side. The bills incurred in less than a
week amounted te overf.VK) and the assets
are 70ra In spite of tbe Improbability that
a landed proprietor llke Dr. Hale should be
accidentally left penniless, the accused main
tained a bold lace. He wanted time te satisfy
his creditors, but could net furnish ball, se
he was committed ler trial in default of ?J,&00
ball."
-i limit iiiicent) in i,am.asti:h.
Tho-e two doctors canie te Lancaster
about u month age. They routed Mamner Mamner
cher hall and Heeded the town with circu
lars. Ker n week the doctors gave lectures
en special medical topics. The llrst night no
admission was charged nnd the hall was
crovvded. Alter that the doctors began te
leek around for a little mouey, and charged
ten cents admission te their perform
ances. The attendance thou tell oil' aud
the medical men clesed thelr hall show nt
the end of the woek. They remained In this
city nnd saw their patients at the Itohrer
house, where they bearded. They did net
have n great deal te de, ami the people they
did catch were made le pay high prices.
About tun days age Dr.Hale left town, going
te Philadelphia. In a low days I'ou I'eu I'ou
uer lollewod him. When the latter
left, he owed Mrs. Creager, proprietress
et tbe Kehror house, ?'-'- ter beard. He tried
le remove his trunks late at night but was
discovered. Ile had i e money te pay up but
haid he would send thu amount trem Pitts
burg, which he failed te de. Perclval Keller,
who did semu painting for thu doctors, Is out
about $2' ler work done, and there ure ether
little lulls around the city. Whlle the doc
tors were iu this city Lein Smith's Agent'3
Herald made u florce attack ou Dr.
Hale. Hu was charged with every crime
Imaginable, and although he was shown the
articles whlle here he did net make
any public, denial of the charges. Many
who read the attack new bellove that It was
true. Hale Is a middle-aged man with full
beard and has the appoarance et an actor iu
hard luck. Kenner Is a young man with
naming red hair nnd face. He wero glasses
nnd seemed Inclined te be a masher.

The Pittsburg papers denouuee the doctors
a- " a pair of beats " nnd " bold and bare
faced fakirs and swindlers." The minstrel
part et the show was also werklug under
contract with a Mr. Miller, the manager of
the lietipe, and these people me left iu Pitts
burg completely stranded, net having
enough money te lake thorn back te their
homes. Miller stated that the doctors had
deceived him te a dead certuluty, and al
though he bad met Mich poeplo bolore this it
was the llrst tlme hu had evor been caught
lu such a snaii.
One of the musicians or the company told a
Leader reporter something about the doctors'
oenitleus. That i-aper Bays ; "They sent an
advance agent, who gave his uame as Chaunto Chaunte

lebrand had also hired a Lancaster,
Pa., musician, but the rest of tbe band were
from this vicinity. They were all ledged at
the Hamilton hotel, as the agent aald tt was
mere convenient te have them together. Of
course, since the arrest of Dr. Hale, the musi
cians expect every moment te have their
effect Boued for thelr beard. They have re
ceived no part of their salary and the man
agement was pledged for their hotel bills.
Soen after Dr. Hale arrival he entertained
the whole company te an olegant champngne
supper at the Monengahcla heuse.
The man Chauntebrand is no stranger te
Lancaster people. He was formerly agent

water-tigbt Twe plug streams were then
plajed Inte the sewer, and two men entered
the Duke street sewer and walked up te the
point whero the Kast King street sewer enters
It The water from the ping streams was
llewlng freely through it The sewer Is
nearly ou a level nnd tliere was found te
be about six Inches or sand en the bottom or
It, but there was plenty et room te let all the
water Ireui a heavy rain storm te pass
through It '.The street commissioner and the
man who went into the Duke street sewer
nre satisfied that tliere la no break in tbe
sevver, and that tbe water in the cellars being
cienr nnd sweet is net sewer water.
Superintendent Hal bach has made exami
nation of all tbe prlvate connections with the
water main and has failed te find a leak. He
does net bolievetho trouble Is caused by a
broken pipe.
Heme of the old residents en East King
street bellove the trouble has been caused by
the late heavy rains, which have raised nil
the springs. They say they knew there are
fprlngs en the Sprecber property and en the
lohnestock property, nud although these
cellars were comeuted te prevent the water
from entering them, It may nevertheless
have found crevices through which te enter.
They predict that as seen as the springs
become lower the flew of water Inte the
cellars will cease.
