Itlonui lit tho Spring.
FTER month of hard
and rapid labor and tho
expenditure of over
one hundred thousand
dollars the reservoir of
tho Giraid Water Com
pany at Raven Bun is
completed and thethree
hundred and fifty Ital
ian lahorers who wero engaged in tho work
are now scattering, some going to Philadel
phia, others to New York, sonto remaining
here with tho liopo of securing work, and
many going back to Italy to spend tho winter
months.
Water wal turned into tho reservoir for the
first time on Wednesday afternoon and it now
has a depth of about ten feet.
The reservoir is tho fourth constructed for
tho Uirard Water Company and is tho second
largest ol the quartette, having a storage
capacity of 73,5S0,8DO gallons and is con
nected so as to take tho surplus water from
tho No. 3 reservoir on Lost Croek through n
twelve inch main. It was constructed by
Messrs. Grant & Qulnn, of I'ottsvlllc, and
work on it was commenced lust March.
Thrco liuundred and five laborers with
eighty-oight horsos and oarts wuro employed
on tho work and for several weeks put from
3,000 to 3,000 cart loads of material on the
ombankment daily. Tho quantities required
for excavation, puddlo wall and embank
ment wero as follows : Earth, 10,003 cubic
yards; rock, 10,190; puddlo wall, 17,013; cm
baukmeut, G2,Gj7.
A twolvo-inuk main 8,000 feet in length has
bocn laid from tho reservoir westward pist
tho Glrard Mammoth colliery and througli
the ravino of Raven's Run past tho llanimond
colliery to connect with and supplies an
olghtiuch main both westward down tho
Shenandoah valloy and, in case of the break
ingoftheold main by mining operations,
eastward up tho valloy.
The dimcusionsof tho roservolr are: Length
of embankment, 1110 foet;width on top, 121
feet; width at bottom, 110 feet; width of
overflow waste-way, CO feet; greatest depth
of water, 27 feet; area to bo covered with water
21.0 acres.
Leo Donatell, the man who secured tho
Italians for the work and who kept the
supply store at tho dam, is in town and says
he will remain in Shenandoah until tho
spring when he expects there will be more
work in this region of a similar character.
Mr. JJoimtell 18 a good looking and very
intelligent Italian and is Bald to be worth
about $20,000. lie is married to an American
lady, the daughter of very wealthy Virginia
leuple. Mr. Donatell worked with the
shovel when lie first came to America and
has traveled all over tho United States
and Canada. lie is looked up to
as a, magnate by the Italian laborers and
oan swarsi a town with thorn at short notice.
Mr. Donatelt says that many of tho men who
worked at tho Raven Run dam are returning
to Italy, but tho exodus has no particular
significance. All will return to America
again in tho spring. As tho construction of
railroads, reservoirs, etc., is not carried on in
the winter months most of these people tako
advantage of tho idleness to enjoy Italy's
warmer cllraato and visit relatives and old
friends, and besides thoy oan live much
cheaper in Italy than in America during
their live or sis mouths of enforced idleness.
Prof. Barrett, of St. Lawrence county, N.
Y., speaking of pulmonary diseases, says :
not ono death occurs now where twenty died
before Downs' Elixir was known. Ovor fifty
years of constant success places Downs'
Elixir at the head of the long list of cough
remedies. liu

Yesterday was a sort of turkish day of

The turkey, no doubt, was thankful to

The turkey that has secured a respite until

A foundered horse at Sneddon's livery
stable on Pear alley required tho assistance of
Dr. Longacre, the veterinary surgeon, last
night, and upon leaving the place the doctor
left a bottle of horso medicine. "Fifteen
drops for a man and a toaspoonful for a horse.
no more, or au undertaker will have a job
and a glue factory will havo a fresh supply,"
was the doctor's parting injunction. Strych
nine was a predominant mixture.
Naturally the positive instructions of tho
doctor amused the curiosity of somo young
men who wero in tho stable and that curiosity
led to speculation as to what the mixture was
made of. They smelted the Btulf and then
applied tho tip of their tongues to tho cork.
'Fatty" Snyder, more venturesome than the
rest, picked up the bottle and drained it,
after smilingly remarking "here gees."

turkeys and watches aro supposed to be tha
