AN INCREASED
WATER SUPPLY,
THIRTT-FIVH HUNDRED FEET
OP EXTRA PIPE.
NEW MOVE OF THE OLD COMPANY
ConnootionsMade With thoGirard
Estato Dams Whereby tho
Town May bo Abundantly
Supplied at all Times.
N spito of tho ap
proaching Bpecial elec
tion to increase the
" borough debt for the
purposoof establishing
public water works,
tho Shenandoah Wa
ter and Gas Company
has inaugurated steps to greatly enlarge Its
capacity for supplying the town with pure,
wholesome water. "Within three wooks the
company will bo in a position to supply the
entlro town with an abundance of water
from two indopendont sources. The com
pany has made arrangements by which it
receives an unlimited supply from tho
Girard Estato Lost Greek dams. Connec
tions hayo been made on the mountain a
littlo abovo tho air shaft at the rear of
Joseph Bell's property, Glover's Hill, and
six-inch pipes have already beon laid
from tho placn of connection to a
point noar tho place where the
oloctric railway turns on to Coal street.
The pipos aro to bo laid to tho corner ot
Coal and Gilbort streets, and will there be
connocted by a "T" with tho pipes of the
company already laid. Tho total longth of
six-Inch pipe to be laid under tho now ar
ranegement Is 3,600 feet. Thirty men are
now engaged in digging trenches and lay
ing pipes, and it is calculated that from two
to three woeks will bo required to complete
the work. The four-inch pipe now down
on Coal stroet will not ho disturbed. The
connecting of the now lino will cost the
company about g-1,000. In speaking of tho
new undertaking officers of tho company
Bald yestorday: "We are simply perfecting
our plant and guarding against any acci
dents that may happen to our works at the
eastern outskirts of tho town, by reason of
which the supply may be cut off or dimin
ished. The now connection will enable 'J 3
to keep up an adequate supply at all times
and will bo abundant in cuso tho other
plant should bo shut down. It is not to bo
understood that wo anticipate any serious
mishap to our old plant. The fact is,
the ultimato caving in of some properties
will broak our old couneclions at times and
it will bo necessary to cut off tho supply of
water until tha connections can bo made
a?ain; but by this now undertaking we
will bo enabled to keep the people abun
dantly supplied at all times. There are few
towns that can boast ol two independent
sources for an abundant supply of pure
water."
The residents of Glover's hill aro do
lighted over tho new connection, and have
already asked that tho Borough Council
give them a fire plug which may bo con
nected with the new pipes. The place Is
certainly in neod of one
A 'Wonderful Machine.
There is no doubt that man is a flno
mechanism, but like every other machine
he wears out by friction. It is said that ho
is born again every two or tbreo years.
His body is virtually ro-made from food.
To retard this making over is radically
wrong, as a man loses so much vitality in
the delayed process that it takes a long
time to rocuperato. The process of making
anew is so accelerated by purging with
Brandroth's Tills that a now man, as it
were, may bo made n two or three months,
and tho change in tho mechanism is such
that the worn out part is replaced by tho
now without tho usual running down of
tho outlro machino. You don't have to
stop for repairs. Purgo away with Bran-
dreth's Fills, tho old, diseased and worn
out body. Thoy aro purely ycgotablo,
absolutely harmless, and safe to tiko at
any timo.
A lturo Opportunity
Is offered by tho Nickel Plate, as thoy will
sell tickets to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at
remarkably low rato from May 30th to
