In accordance with previous arrange
ments, the meinbtra and ofllctra of the
Borough Council, together with the j lnr
committee, yesterday vllted the reservoir
at Brandonvllle for the purpose ol testing
the pumps and inspecting the 8,000 feet
of bteel pipe laid from the top of the
mountain to the pumping station. Engi
neer Womelsdorf, Contractor William
MeAilams nud ri-pre-entatlves of the
Jeanesville Iron Works ami the National
Tube Works were present.
The weather was favoralile for the In
spection, and the gentleman who deals
with tho elements seemed to have an eyj
single to the -ticce-ia of the project.
Everything pasied oil smoothly and with
out a single drawback.
The pumps were first started at 2
o'clock yesterday morning, and at 4
o'clock the water begun to trickle from
the pipes into the distributing reservoir
at Fowler's Run This test was taken as
a precaution from any delay that might
occur when the final test was to be made
later lu the day In the presence of the
botough officials. But happily the pre
caution waB unnecessary. When the
final word was given to move the monster
engines, Mr, Samuel Garner, the engineer
In charge, opened the valves and the
plungers worked bick and forth with
the smoothness of clock work, and
forced the water over the moun
tain in such a manner that caused
a pleasant smile from thoso members ot
Council who have taken au active Inter
est iu the project. And they have just
causefor congratulation upon the result
of yesterday's inspection, Tne tent ha
proved satisfactory lu every particular,
and has dlspeled the doubts lu the minds
ot some members of Council as to the
steel pipe Hue standing the pressure with
out one or two air-taps at certaiu points
along the line. However, this precaution
will be taken to-day. Mr. E. V. Galla
gher, chairman of the water committee;
,wlll tap the line at each high point to
allow the etcape of air that may have
accumulated, and which will allow of a
larger How of water through the pipes
There are two pumps at thestatlon.which
were manufactured by the Jeanesville
Iron Works. They are capable of pump
ing 1,000,000 gallons uf water SS4 feet high
through 12,000 feet of 12 Inch column pipe
iu twelve hours. The distributing reser
voir Is supposed to hold between four am!
five million gallons of water, and at that
rate It will require about four days' pump
iug to All the dam. Each pump has four
bteam cylinders of hard close-grained Iron,
and has as many water cylinders of ample
thickness to stand theKieavy pressure and
wear. There is also a duplex Independent
coudenser.
The three boilers are ot tubular type,
seventy-two Inches in diameter with tubei
18 feet long. They have a capacity of 150
horse power, but were running the engines
yesterday with but UJ pounds of steam.
After par taking of a light luncheon pre
pared by the genial Meade Peters, caterer
at McElhenny's cafe, a final Inspection oi
the pumping station and the, dam was
made. At this juueture an amusing feat
ure of the day occurred. It was the chrls
'tening of the pumps, and It was done with
the solemnity that the occasion demanded .
Ilev, John Gruhler, a member of tue joint
committee, ofllciated at the ceremony and
Treasurer Br.idlgao, was the artist who
placed the Inscription upon the cylinder
heads of the pumps. In the presence of the
minister stood tho members of the organi
zation known in the history of the towu
as "De Ate," and they stood with bowed
heads as the solemn words were uttered
christening the pumps to their memory.
Before returning to town a visit was
made to the distributing reservolt,
and everything there being satlkfactory
to the officials, the day's Inspection was
concluded.
The question of testing the pipe line
through the town will probably come up
for consideration at the meeting of Coun
cil this evening, Seme of the members
of that body favor connections being
made Immediately, while others seem dis
posed to delay the matter until spring.
This subject will also probably receive
' consideration at to-night' meeting.

Once more the Flobert rttle comet into
prominence, but fortunately the case
which brings it up again Is not ono tinged
with a fatality. That there is not a fatal
accident to record Is not tho fault of the
rllle, or bullet. As it is, the victim suffers
considerably and there is no telling what
uconveuleuce he may suffer.
The victim is William Everett, a
butcher, who resides near EllengOwnu.
While driving past the corner of Jardin
nnd Cherry streets yesterday afternoon
ho felt a sudden sharp pain in the lleshy
part of his left arm, near the elbow joint.
Mr. Everett stopped his horse and looked
at his arm. ills coat sleeve and
arm showed a hole such as Is made
by a small callbro bullet and he concluded
that he had been shot. Mr. Everett con
sulted Dr. J. S. Kistler, who found that
the wound was evidently one made by a
ball from a Flobert rifle. The doctor
probed unsuccessfully for the ball.
It is time the authorities look aggressive
measures against the Flobert aud toy rifle
nuisance, nnd every boy ctught on the
streets with one lu his possession should
be disciplined In some manner. Parents
should aid the authorities lu this mntter
by conflcating the Implements.

DANDO WAS CAUTIOUS.
He Did Not Accept a Challenge to Com
bat With a Woman.
Constable "Jack" Dando yesterday at
ternoon called at the house of Mrs. Lizzie
YudeskI, on West Coal street, to execute
a landlord's wnrrant Issued at the in
stance ot John Buefski. At first
the constable met with no opposi
tion, and succeeded in making a
levy on the furniture in one
room, but when he went to enter another
Mrs. Yudeski barred his passage and
raised a poker above his head, at the same
time tapping a volume of Polish language
that seemed to have its source iu nnger.
'Don't strike nnd I'll go out," shouted
Dando. The woman did not strike and
the constnble left the place, but an hour
or two later he returned nnd arrested
the woman on a charge of interfering
with an officer In the discharge of his
duty. Mrs. Yudeski pleaded guilty before
Justice Williams and paid costs amount
ing to almost f5. The landlord then with
drew his process on the promise of the
husband to vacate the premises at once.
