saloon during tho day, and nt night It was
divided by a partition into Bleeping com
partments for women nnd men.
Early In tho morning flro was discov

port sido. Tho flames spread so rapidly
and tho clouds of smoko wero so stilling
that tho crow wore prevonted from rescu
ing all of tho passengers, being sovcral
times driven awny from tho burning part
of tho ship. The flro wns gotten under
control about 4 o'clook, when tho charred
bodies of seven porsons wore found in their
baths, so badly burned ns to bo unrooog
nlznblo. During tho progress of tho flames tho
wildest oxcltomcnt prevailed among tho
passengers. The saloon passengers men,
women and children rushed on deck,
some of them almost naked, tho women
screaming and tho children crying, nnd It
was not until the flames wero subdued
that they could bo paclflod.
Tho ladles' cubln was complotoly demol

THE WATER FAMINE.
Shenandoah, by Lung OdiN, the Least Af
reeled by It.
Complaints aro coming In from all parts of
tho region concerning the lack of water
supply and in almost every placo other than
this town the collieries and places of resi
dences a.ro suffering equally from wator
famine.
Shenandoah has been remarkably for
tunate this year and until yesterday tho now
waterworks kept up iU immenso supply
without cessation. Yesterday Superinten
dent Bctteridgo concluded, after consulta
tion with tho water committee, that to avoid
as much as posslblo any dangor of cutting
tho town supply short It would bo better to
cut off tho supply of the collieries. This
was done and now only the town is drawing
upon tho plant.
Tho public water works has been doing
grand work while other towus of tho region
have been suffering. Few peoplo rcalizo tho
amount of water that has been consumed
during the past threo weeks. About nlno
tcnths of tho properties in tho town havo
been and aro now regularly supplied, the
Superintendent states, aud from August 18th
until yesterday tho Shenandoah City, Indian
Ridgo and Turkey Hun collieries, and tho
Boro Hole, consumed 2,000,000 gallons of
water, or an average of over 150,000 gallons a
day.
Tho supply was not cut off from tho col
lieries until they had time to make connec
tions with the supply from tho Last Creek
reservoirs, but this is not sufficient, anilin the
absence of a good rain, or somo otlior re
plenishment o.f tho public water works, the
collieries enumerated are liable to shut down
at any time. It was doubtful to-day whether
they would be ablo to work a full shift. Tho
pumps at tho collieries cannot work regularly
with tho supply from tho Lost Creek reser
voirs, it is said. In-fact, they are obliged to
shut down frequently until tho supply pipes
fill up. The reservoir at Waste Houso Run is
completely exhausted and tho collieries aro
cut off from any relief at Mahanoy City by
tho famine that exists there.
In connection with tho supply of tho public
water works running short it must bo re
membered that great quantities of water
havo been wasted whilo the work of making
tho connections with properties has been
going on during the pat month.
At present there is no intention of curtail
ing tho water supply, Tho authorities be
lieve that with tho collieries cut off tho town
will bo ablo to pull through tho drought with
tho regular supply until tho reservoirs are
replenished.
Mr. Silliman, of tho Mahanoy City Water
Company, lias given the newspapers of that
town somo very peculiar figures as to the
wator supply of that town and Shenandoah,
or else tho newspapers havo them mixed, and
tho story reads straight enough. According
to Mr. Silliman his company has a flow of
800,000 gallons per day, and yet they havo to
restrict consumption materially after cutting
off all collieries nearly two months ago. It is
doubtful if tho consumption of the town will
aggrcgato 750,000 gallons per day, and it is
therefore rather difficult to understand tho
reason for shutting off water at all If tho
flow is as stated. Mr. Silliman's figures as to
tho flow of water in Davis' Ituu which
supplies Shenandoah are the most surprising,
lie states that tho stream flows but 251, (IS3
gallons in 24 hours. As tho stream is daily
supplying about 400,000 gallons to tho icoplo
of town and also supplied tho colliorios up to
yesterday it leaves all Mr, Silliman's
measurements open to gravo doubt. Our
supply to tho collieries has averaged over
150,000 gallons per day, and tho town con
sumption is estimated at from 300,000 to
400,000 per day. Last year at the very dry
est season tho measurements indicated a flow
of nearly 500,000 gallons in 24 liours.

THE II OF I'll;
Change in the Victim's Condition and
Meleshko Re-arrested.
A COLD AGGRAVATES THE WOUND I
The Accused Lithuanian Causes the Arrest
of Evans, Whom he Charges With
Having Caused tho Affray Hear
ing In the Case Postponed.
The shooting of Jamos, alias "Sim"
Mcllalc, has taken a more serious turn than
was anticipated. Last night a mcssago was
sent to Justice Williams that tho condition
of tho victim was precarious and Paul Mo
lcshko, tho Lithuanian charged with tho
shooting and who was under $500 bail, was at
onco ro-arrosted and committed to tho lockup
to await further developments.
An Evening Hkicald reporter railed at
tho McHalo residence, on West Lloyd street,
to-day and was Informed that McHalo was
very weak and confined to bed. Ho caught
cold in the wound whilo attending tho hear
ing on Sunday night and tho slightest move
ment of tho head causes hemmorrhago. One
of liis eyes is badly swollen and his general
condition alarnled his family. If ho regains
sufficient strength, it was stated, ho will bo
sent to tho Miners' hospital to-morrow.
Last ovening Justice Williams had tho caso
before him in another shape. Meleshko had
sworn out a warrant for tho arrest of William
Evans, who is charged' with having caused
tho fight that led to the shooting.
Meloshko stated under oath that Evans
stopped him at tho scene of tho conflict and
asked for a match and chew of tobacco, and
upon failing to get them ho knocked Me
leshko oil- tho pavement. Tho fight then
started and culminated in tho shooting. Me
leshko also claims that McHalo and his friends
had a hand in tho tight before the shoot
ing occurred. At tho same time ho swears
he had no revolver and McHilo must havo
been accidentally shot by ono of his friends,
or tho Evans crowd.
Evans was present at tho hearing, but
John Curry and Joseph Gorman, who wcte
witli him during tho fight, ' were absent.
Gorman lives in Girardvillo and Curry was
absent on account of the death of his uncle,
at Centralia.
After hearing the statements of sovcral
witnesses Justice Williams concluded to post
pone the hearing of the caso until tho attend
ance of Curry aud Gorman can bo secured on
Wednesday night.
Many prominent Lithuanian peoplo havo
interested themselves in tho eas.o. They
claim that it has become a habit f6r young
men to stop their countrymen on the streets
late at night and ask them for ina'tchos, or
under somo other trilling excuse, and when
the request is not complied with it is a signal
for a fight, in which the intimidated party is
invariably beaten unmercifully, and fre
quently robbed of whatever valuables they
may havo upon their persons. In the present
case, they claim, tho attacking party suffered
by a mistake of one of its own members.
In a Precarious Condition.
Upon advice of District Attorney Ryan
tho relatives of James McHalo to-day caused
an examination to be made of the pistol shot
wound and tho victim's general condition.
After making tho examination this afternoon
Dr. Stein went before Justice Williams and
mauo oath that Jlcllale was in a precarious
condition. Upon this statement tho Justico
ordered that Maloshko, who is charged with
tho shooting, bo taken to tho Pottsvillo jail,
which was done.
