The Much Talked of Work Accom
plished Yesterday,
APPARENTLY SATISFACTORY
A. Ureal: oil West Conl strcot Rodncod
tlio l'ressuro, Hut tho Acaldout
ts Not Considered Very
Serious.
Tho frequently postponed and much
talked-of official test of tho publlo water
works was made yesterday and, while tho
result was not wholly up to tho staudard
expected, It is believed that the plant will
be formally accepted by the Borough
Council.
The test fell short of expectations by
reason of a break at the West Coal street
end of tho pipe, which caused n big re
duction in tho pressure, but the break can
be easily repaired at small cost.
A hydraulic test was waived by tho
borough ofilclals after it was satisfactorily
demonstrated by the contractors that such
a test would entail a lengthy delay and a
big expeuse. It would have required
special machinery and the contractors
maintained that the cost would fall upon
tho borough. They maintained that the
pressure from the reservoir was sulUclent
to give the pipes all the test required and
guages were used.
Contractors II. P. Qutuu and William
McAdain arrived here from l'ottsville
shortly bofore noon yesterday and were
Joined by Councilmen A. D. Gable, James
ICane, William McOuiro and Michael
Dougherty, Borough Solicitor 1'omeroy,
Superintendent Oscar Betteridge, ex-Councilman
E. F. Gallagher and Robert Mc-
Adam. They formed the testing party and
were at work until a late hour in the
afternoun. All the pressure that could be
procured from the reservoir was put ou tho
pipes, and the contractors say that is all
the Council could expect.
Ariaugemeuts had been made for the
event by iivo openings made in different
parts of the town so that tho distributed
pressur'o could be shown. The gauge placed
at the end of East Centre street showed a
pressure of 150 pounds to the square inch;
at the corner of Emerick street and Apple
alley 122 pouudsj at the corner of "West
Centre street and Vine street 1G5, and at
Turkey Run 70.
The fifth hole was at the west end of
Coal street, and it was at this point that
the accident occurred. There is a "blow
off " located there so that the pipes can be
cleaned and the water runs into the creek
when the "blow-off" is open. "When the
pressure was put on yesterday the tail pipe
of the "blow-off," which is located under
the bridge, was blown off and that pre
vented the committee from completing tho
test at that point. It is said that this
break caused the reduction of prossure at
Emerick street to 122 pounds.
Tho contractors have agree to allow the
water to remain in the pipes until Council
decides upon the result of the test. This
is Important, as the water will have ample
time to make its way to tho surface of the
streets in case any of tho pipes have been
caused to leak by the test.
"With the ropairs to the West Coal street
end tho plant will ba ready for connections,
providing Council decides that tho test was
n satisfactory oue.
The contractors claim that the 300-pound
test provided for by the contracts applied
to a test of the pipes before they left the
place of manufacture and that every length
of pipe has been subjected to that test.
On Friday Superintendent Betteridge
will probably mako threo taps at Turkey
Bun, to give the people of that place a
much-needed supply of water. At present
they are obliged to pay twenty-five cents
to a private company for each wash boiler
full, or have It hauled from Maple Hill.
Tho three taps will bo mado on privato
properties, oue at each end of the patch
and one in the centre. The owners of the
premises upon which tho taps are placed
will be held responsible for them, and will
collect the charges from his neighbors until
tho Borough Council takes formal posses
sion of the works and has time to make
permanent arrangements for their opera
tion. ' The Turkey Run people have cheor
fully acceded to tho conditions, as they are
only too glad to get tho supply.

Martin Battlgan, who was released from

his wife, Lizzie, and his slstor-ln-law, Miss
Lena Miller, and winding up his onslaught
by plunging the instrument with which he
did the cuttiugs Into himself.
Mrs. Battlgan was stabbed in tho back,
near the right shoulder, and In tho stomach.
Her sister was stabbed in tho right side,
the blade passing between tho ribs. All
the cuts were ugly ones and blood streamed
from them, and it is believed that tho
wounds are dangerous. Battlgan stabbed
himself in tho stomach. His wound is also
considered a dangerous one.
llattlgan yesterday completed a sentouco

at about seven o'clock, he returned and
was met at the door by Miss Miller, the
wife's sister. llattlgan asked If his
wife was at home and upon
being told that she was upstairs, asked
that she be called down. When Mrs.

his request of the day before that she live
