This city had a scare yesterday, when its water supply was shut ofC through the freez ing of the Conestoga river. The stream was low when the cold wave arrived, and last night the water on nine mi 11 dams, on a twenty-mile stretch above the city and at numer ous other places in the stream, froze to the bottom. The city's water works pumps were useless, and the only re serve supply was that in the Bast End reservoir. The serious situation alarm ed the city authorities, and prepara tions were made to dynamite the ice at various points. The shutting down of tlie mills along the stream relieved the situation by sending down enough water to form channels through the ice. UTTLE GIKI.
