THE NEW WATER WORKS."

NEARLY FINISHED.

pacity at 11,000,000 aallaei s Day.
irthoae who feel like censuring the com
mittee en water works Improvements for
net having tne new works la operation by
this time would vlalt them and see the ex
tent of the Imprevemnntp, their words el
censure would be changed te these of praise.
Never In the history el the city were
sneh extended Improvements made. When
change of location was tint discussed net
one et the elty council raen had any Idea el
wbst was best te be done ler the city's in
tereslr. Finally a plan was adopted and the
Improvements te be made were left te a
special committee of which Mayer Morten
was the ehalrmam. The changeofadmlnls changeefadmlnls changeofadmlnls
tratlen made a change of chairman neces
sary and slnoe April, Mayer KJger
ley has tilled that Important position. There
was only one change In the oemmlttee since
the Improvements were begun, A. M.
Franlz, esq , taking tbe place of Majer Jere
Rohrer. The latter gentleman, who was
olected water commissioner, with his eel eol oel
leagues, Messrr. Oiter and Jetlrles, have
been connectcd with the improvements
since April.
The Important details et the work were
arranged by the cotnmlttee originally ap
pointed and their task was a laborious one.
While It Is questionable whether the re
commendation el the purchase et tbe
Ranch mill was the nrenar thine te de It
was made In geed faith. The property Is a
desirable one and was bought nt n reason
able price and the city, II It holds it, will
net lese any money by the purchase. After
the abandonment of that site, which was
done en the recommendation of the civil
engineer employed te loeate the works, the
present location en part e! Sheriff Tom Tem Tom
llnsen's farm waschoHen.
The preparation of plans and specifies specifies
tlens took considerable mera time than
was expected and there was In consequence
a delay of soveral months In the begl.inlng
of the work. When It was fairly started
It was pushed forward rapidly and new the
work U practically done, although It will
be some time before the elty water will be
pnmped from tbe new works.
A VISIT TO TIIK NHW WOUKH,
Whena representative of the Intbi.m Intbi.m
erncru visited the works en Thursday
afternoon he found only a few men at work.
This was In marked contrast ten former
visit when tbere was u small army of men
employ ml. Stone masons, bricklayers and
laborers then were thore by the dozen, but
eaeh oaref ully did the work assigned.
The contract for the erection of the build
ing for the englnes and bollera was award
ed te Ames H. Urban, and this contraet aUe
Includeda conduit from the creak te the
building, and the erection of sroen walls.
This latter part was the most particular part
of bis contract, and Jehn Kreekel, the well
known stone mason, was given that put et
the work te de. The stone used was of the
finest quality and the work Is dene in a
manner whieh leilwts great credit en Mr.
Kreckel. The building proper is also a
geed ploce of work. It presents a neat ap
pearance, and is built In a substantial man
ner. The committee wisely took the pre
caution te erect a coal house, liere hun
dreds of tens of coal can be stored and there
will always be a sufllclent supply en hand,
be that the city will net be put te Incon
venience by strikes or bllzzudc An ar
rangement will be made by which the coal
will be delivered near the new works by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
In a conspicuous place en the wall of the
large room eelectei for the pumps Is a
marble Blab, en which are the names of the
committee appointed by councils te de the
work. The inai bio slab was furnished by
Hewell A Clruger.
In the rear of the pump room Ih the boiler
room and In It nre placed a deuble set of
Improved boilers made by B.tbaoek, Wilcox
JSlGe. These boilers nre of a new make,
covered by several patents and are consid
ered the host boiler made In this country.
Their slzrmay be judged by the fact that It
required 45,000 brick te wall thorn In, while
inside thorn are 10,000 iire brick.

The two steam pumps te be used have a
dally capacity en 1,000,000 gallons. Reth
are of the Worthlngten make. The ene
which is new being plnced in position Is
the3,000,000 gallon pump and the capacity
of which Is being Increased te r.,000,000 gal
Ions. The work et enlarging the capacity is
done under the direction et Mr. Hlenger
men, of New Yerk. Ue superintended the
removal of the pump fium the old works.
lie la new waiting for the new large cylin
der, and when that arrlves the work et
erecting the pump will be proceeded with.
He expects te have It In rnnnlne order in
six weeks, after which the 0. 000,000 gallon
pump will be moved from the old works
te the new. That pump will net be
touebed, however, until the ene at the new
works Is in emplete running order. As
there are no extraordinary repairs te be
made te that pump it will net take long te
hve It remeved and placed in position In
thsnew works.
It Is the intention of the committee at
present te retain the ownership et the old
elty mill and koep thore the water pumps.
These will be eperated whenever practica
ble and will supply a snlllclent quantity
of water at a trilling cer.
Anether rart et the work which was
speedily dene was the laying of the large
main from the ne" works te the reservoir.
This was dene under the direoifen of
Frank Hinder. Heme of the owners of
property through which thn p'pe Is laid
will present claims for dnmsges te tlie
committee, and If net allowed the elty will
probably be the defendant In a number of
suits. The city authorities de net concede
that any great (Umage was dene, and will
net allow exorbitant claims.
IT WII-l. UK A HANDSOMK PLANT.
The amount); appropriated for the Im
provements was f 125,000 and that fund will
praotteally finish the work. When the
debris is remeved from about the building
and the grounds lovele I and heddeit, the
city will be the owner of a line piece of
property.
On the one side of the property Is a stream
et water which In ordinary ecusens Is a
mall run. With heavy rains and the
usual freshets the stream becemes very
high. Te protect the city's prepsrty, walls
have bean built en the sides of this stream
the whole length el the grnund occupied
by the city. These walls were made se
high that an oveillew Is almost Imp flnlble.
Davis Kltch had the contraet for this work
and David Harlan was the stene mason In
charge.
There are many ethor Improvements at
the works worthy et nole, but a full tie
aerlptlve article of the new works will be

The
Terrible
Bad of a Yeung Wemu'i
Pleasure Bzcorsten,
A pretty young married woman who went
out for a lark en the Niagara river In a sail
beat, Thursday afternoon, le?t her 11 In a
tragte manner, and the young man who
accompanied tier barely saved his. The
woman was the wife of P. J. Tally, who
moved there three months age. Her age
was but 22 years, and she was vety pretty.
She had no children, and they had been
married bat three yean. Hhe had allowed
W. H. Barber, eon or the a rand Truck
tleket agent at the international hotel, te
become infatuated with her, and they etten
went driving and beating together without
either the kuewledge or consent et the hus
band. At 2 o'clock In the afternoon the? went
eutdriving, and at Pert Day, ab.ive the
(alls en the American bank, they left the
carriage and hired a sail beat, saying they
would probably net return until after dusk.
Neither knew anything about sailing, but
they thought the atlll northerly breeze
would take them up the river and the
curient would bring them back. All
went well until 1 o'elock, when they get
out of their oeurss en the Canadian side of
Grand Island and woreobllged te tack. The
wind was puffy, and, net understanding
the helm, they jibed ths cra't and it half
tilled with water. Mrs. Tally ran te the
opposite side ser earning te Darbertesaye
her. He let go the line te assist her, and
as he did se a squall strnek tua craft and
knocked It ever. The young woman get
her dress caught In the tack te, but after a
struggle, during which they were both
nearly drowned, Barber mansgea te get a
geed held en the keel nnd held her in his
arms.
Thns they stayed for two hours, hoping
against hepe and all the while drifting rap
idly down tbe rlyer or circling In the eddler.
At last Mrs. Tally beoame insensible and
Barber felt his Hirenstb fast Blvini: wav.
Altera time he gave up hepe and doelded
that they must both drown or go ever the
falls. This Is tbe lest he remembers. The
woman must have slipped from his arms.
TheiugJewett, of Buffalo, picked Barber
up at G o'elock and found his companion's
hat tied about his neck. The yawl took
him in an insenslble condition te the resi
dence of Mr. Heward and after a long effort
he was resuscitated and told the story as
related.
At 0 o'clock some Mexican tourists step,
ping at the Prospect hensa saw the body of
a woman sheet under the Geat Island
brldge and go ever the American falls,
Wben neon the husband of the dead woman
was nearly wild with grief. He had only
just arrlved home for supper wben he
Heard the dreadlul news from bis brother,
who had seen Uewsrd. He found a note
from his wlfe saying that she had gene te
spend tbe afternoon with a lady frlend and
would be back at 0 o'cleok. Mrs. Barber
also feels very badly about the affair. The
body of the young woman will be looked
ter In the whirlpool and at I.ewlstewn,
though It Is net likely that a body going
ever tbe American falls will be recevered.

HAVE TO SAY ABOUT I f.
Dims Tblnk a Uniform Lewer Only Would
Have Been Better, But Nearly All Agree
en ibe Wisdom or Kespleg up the
Ola lUte-VellUml Kxpedlrncy.
An iNTKi.i.HiKNCsn man Interviewed a
number et tobacco men in this vlelnlty
en the restoration of the old rate of duty en
tobacco In the Mills tariff bill. Here are
r-eme of the varying opinions :
J. L. Frey, et Hkllee A Prey, thinks It
was a mtitake te strike out the Mills
section and restore the old section, which
has led te the Interminable trouble Id the
courts and custom house. A uniform
lower duty would avoid all the trouble.
Jehn Jetferlea thought It would net make
much difference either te the farmer,
picker or cigar manufacturer. It cigar
manufacturers want Sumatra tobacco they
will have It If the duty la 2 per pound,
and If the Lancaster oeunty farmer grows
sueh tobacco as they did in 1887, they need
net be afraid of Sumatra even If It Is ad
mitted free.
Adam Trout and half a dozen paekers
and samplers who were with him, favored
tbe higher tax, believing It would help
growers, packers and manufacturers.
Daniel A. Mayer says It don't make 'any
difference whether the duty en Sumatra
tobacco Is 35 cents or $1 per pound these
who want It will have It, He has no doubt
the growers will be pleased with the higher
tax, but he doubts If It will be of much
benefit te them.
B. F. Hlestand, of Marietta, who grew
70 acres of tobacco last year and packed
2,000 cases, says that he never bothered
himself during the Sumatra scare. He
Just went straight en growing tobacco as
geed as he could and selling It for all he
could get. He thinks It likely that the
taste for tine glossy cigars that has prevailed
for some yeats will give place for ademand
for rough wrappers and then the buyers
will give Sumatra the go by.
Harry O. Moere saja the striking out of
the Mills seotlen Is a oemplete Democratic
back-down, showing that the party acts
from policy, net principle. The change
was made for the purpose of capturing Con
necticut, He says it won't win. Mr. Moere la
glad tbe old section has been restored.
A Republican et Conestoga Centre, who
wishes his name te be withheld, says the
Mills bill will net Injure any Industry, and
tbe decision of tbe Heuse net te change the
tobaceo duties ought te make farmers feel
geed.
Danlel Cooper thinks the restoration or
the old section will work for the beneilt of
all concerned in the tobacco trade.
R. H. Brubaker says : New I am
satisfied. "
Henry Shiffner says : " I am glad the
old section Is rosterod. It was done for
political effeet ; but It won't work ; we'll
beat you worse than ever."
Mr. Wm. Merrow is glad the tax Is re
tained; would like te see the cigar tax
taken off.
Jehn F. Brimmer says he knows nothing
abent the matter, and has no opinion te ex
press. Dr. B. 8. Kendig saya that the restoration
of the old section does net amount te mueb.
It has net heretofore been et great benefit
te growers, as the importers have constantly
evaded the Intent of the law and get nearly
all their Imports through tbe custom house
at 33 Cents per pound. A much better sec
tion might have been drafted.

Lyman, et the Uadley company, et Bosten,
who for many years has been a Republican,

Tathe Chat-man of Ih Mnanct Committee 0
thi Jlotjeke Htpublienn Cub:
I have yours of the 12tb, asking for a con
tribution for the Republican club. I am,
et course, deeply Interested In the tariff as
regards the Hadley company and also In
Its bearing en many ether cotton and
woolen mannfacturca In whteh 1 am Inter
teres ted, but in my opinion the Republican
members of Congress from New England
and the "Heme Market club" and thn
Woolen Manufacturers association "
have praetlcally dene mere harm te the
cause of protection and te the protected (se
called) industries of Massachusetts than
the Democratic members of the ways and
means committee.
1 have had occasion te bee some of the
Domeoratlo membera of the ways and
means oemmlttee and te hear of the plana
and views of ethers, aud 1 am oenvlncod
that but for the aotlen of thn Republican
members of Congress from New England
weoeuldhave had In the Mills bill satis
factory schedules for woolens aud cottons.
Aa it Is, at the request of seme manufac
turers (Republicans), mads through the
Democratic members from Massachusetts,
the Demccrata of the ways and means com cem com
mlttee altered and advanced rates en some
Important ttctn, while we were met, I am
informed, by Republican members of the
ueuse saying : l.oave ine soneuuio aa it
Is ; It Is botler for the eloetlon."
The Republicans new roluse te aid In
putting raw materials en tbe free list, and
certainly In New England free raw material
has been considered as an element In pro
tection almost as essential as tbe duty en
the manufactured article
Frem my business exncrlence In both
Importing and manufacturing t am fully
aware of the necessity et the protection for
tee maintenance nere or eertain manufac
tures, and I very much recret that the Re-
puuucan party, wun wnicn i nave aciea
from Its beginning, has, for political success,
taken a position which I consider hostile In
Its practical effects te the proteeted indus
tries of Massachusetts.
The Democratic members of tbe ways and
means committee take bread and, en tbe
whele, reasonable views et tbe tariff ques-
tten, ana wuue or ceurse uiey ioek at me
Interest of the United States as a whole
they de net lanore the fact that many great
industries have grown up In this country
under the high duties made necessary by
the war of the Rebellion, and that it is
only fair and proper that consideration
should be paid te tbelr exlstence and con
dition. Nelther de they Ignere the fact
that the work peeple in the pre tee ted in
dustries are very largely members et the
Democratic party.
Besides the consideration that my manu
facturing interests have been put at need
less risk by the partisan action of the lie
publicans, I must also take Inte consider
ation the lnterests et the whele country, in
which we are all involved, and 1 cannot
feel It te be right te vote for any one who
can honestly stand en the Republican plat plat plat
formeost of the Republicans with whom
I have spoken about it bave told me that
they had net read if. 1 can readily belleve
that It would be disagreeable reading te
Republicans who in tne past nave, in an
honesty, desired te have raw materials and
feed products en the free list But the
exigencies of practical politics have forced
the party Inte a false position as regards the
tariff, and Inte many ether unwise and
dangerous relations In regard te the do de do
meatlo and foreign affairs et the country.
There is praetlcally no party In this coun
try In favor of free trade in any reasonabie
sense of the term, and It is as unfair te call
the Mills bill a free trade bill as it is te say
that the Republicans are In favor of the free

Tee I'ublieUealreTnat Line Between Lan
caster and Nanr Helland lie Hunt,
Meeiiamcsiiuru, July 20. Many peeple
living along the proposed line et railroad
between New Helland and Lancaster,
particularly these who had been asked te
sign a reloase nearly two years ego,
have been anxiously looking for seme
certain sign of Its being built. But se far
they have been dlssppointed. Different
rumors and reports have passed, and at
one time it was reperted that tbe Penn
sylvania company would build the read;
then alter a while the Lincaster Beard of
Trade took the matter up in an earnest,
business like way and the hopes of the
peeple were ence mero rovlved. A
considerable lapse of time suggests
that net much ran be oxpectod from the
well-meaning Beard of Trade in this
direction. lu fact, a rsllread enterprise
would be rather a big thing for tbe new
beard as a beginning. Again, there was a
rumor that after the suit In court against
the East Brandywlne it Waynesbafg rail
road was deelded the Pennsylvania would
then take up the manor. That cu.ne has
been decided, and the laid read passed
Inte the possession of the Pennsylvania.
New all is quiet, and notably the Pennsyl
vania company.
There Is reason te belleve that It there
was an assurance that tbe read would cer
tainly and Bpeedlly be built, mere substan
tial proofs of the Interest of the people
would be given. Frem all that can be
learned there seems te be no doubt that the
read would pay. It would travorse a
thickly settled region. The travel te New
Helland Is very great; all this and much
mere would be drawn te this read, te say
nothing el tbe large amount of freight.
Why Is It that this line, se much desired
by the public, Is net built ?

When a man like Heth Lew steps out et

came a national Ugure In political promi

across tbe lines at this tlme is a matter el
mere than ordinary moment. He has al
ready found followers, and theexedus may

TLore was a cloudburst at Wheeling, W.
Va, en Thursday evening about G o'clock,
and for nearly two hours the rain and hall
fell until the elty and surrounding country
were flooded. Great damage te property
and less of life ensued. There is reason te
belleve tht mere than twenty Uvea have
been sacrificed within the city limit.
The first low et life was en Caldwell's
run, where four houses were swept away,
and It Is mero than probable tbat the num
eor beyond the elty Is mueh greater. A
dairyman named Hermann Uenzel, bis
mother and two small ohlldren wero In a
house when the water surrounded It, Jehn
Uebrman, a neighbor, started te their as
sistance en a raft. Ula trail craft capsized
and he was swept away and has net been
seen since. Meantime the Uenzel heuse
gave way and all the occupants perished.
Themas Hawley, an aged man, managed,
when his house was swept away, te escape
and get ashore by clinging te pieces of fence,
but Tils wife and three ohlldren were
drewned. The house of a family named
Springer was demolished, rhe family barely
escaping with their lives. At Its normal
stage Caldwell's run la net a feet wide, but
Its bed Is in a ravine, whieh boeamo a rag
lng torrent.
The wooden trestle en the Pittsburg divi
sion et the Baltimore it Ohie railroad at
Main street, near the passenger depot, gave
away with about thirty poepie en It, among
thorn soveral prominent business raen, and
at a late hour at night only three or four
had been heard fiem. It Is thought that
many of them have been swept down with
the terrent Mr. Wilsen, of tbe R. G. Dun
commercial ageney, was one of these who
escaped. 1, G. Dillen, whelesale Jowelor,
was badly Injured about the head. The
scenes In the vlelnlty were heartrending.
A vast orewd seen gathered, blocking up
the stroet for a square, among tbem weep
ing women and men with blanched faces
anxiously inquiring about friends whom
they feared were among the unfortunates.
It Is impossible te glve tbe names or theso
who were en the bridge wben it went down.
Theso who witnessed tbe dlsaster glve
thrilling descriptions et It. Heartrending
shrleks for help wero heard ascending from
tbe water below, nnd outstretehod arms
wero seen roaehed up ns If pleading for
succor, but the crowd was powerlesi. Ne

city limits were washed awsy and ethers
badly damaeed, se that travel botweon the
North and Seuth sides is almost ontlrely
cut off. The bridge en the Kim Grove
railroad, two miles nast of tbe town Is
washed away. The Ohie Rtver read was
destroyed ter several hundred feet Many
houses and stores in the elty were llocded,
and this, together with ether losses, will
reach fully t00,000. The damage te crops,
etc, In the surrounding country, Is Ines
timable. The lightning did mneli damage, nota
bly te several eburches in the vicinity. The
natural gas supply of the elty Is entirely
cut and will be se for at least two days.
The Southern portion el the elty Is without
gas or water.
Probably Tnlrly Victim.

up by a towboat In the river. Among the
latter wero Mr. Myren Hubbard, who says
tbat mero than thirty went down. Thelr
names are unknown, The crowd was en

suddenly the wooden supports gave way
and they were proelpltatod into the surging
water. They had been repeatedly warned
of the danger, but loiigbed at tbe fears of
theso who warned them.
