without giving them thorough test, COL jerks
makes the additional proposition that the city
shall appropriate q sum sufficient for the erec-
ton of q single pump at Fairmount or else
where, which can be operated by one of the
engines now in use, and which the
company will guarantee to lift greater num-
ber of pounds of water per hundred pounds
of coal than is now done in any of the city
works. The pump alluded to is screw which
revolves at a great velocity within hollow
shaft, and its successful performances In the
cases in which it has been tried prove 1t to be
an invention of great value. If 1t will operate
upon large scale with the same effect that 1t
does upon q small one, there can be no doubt
as to its superiority to any of the appliances
now in use for furnishing the city with
water. It will be entirely Independent of
the weather, and dry spell will not affect its
operations so long as there is any water at all
in either of our rivers, and it will therefore
ensure sufficient supply of water at all
seasons and obviate all danger of water
famines in the future. This pump appears at
least to be worthy of fair trial, and if the
proposition of Colonel jerks is accepted in
whole or in part, reliable guarantees should
be exacted that this company will fulfil all the
conditions of its compact. What the citizens
of Philadelphia want is an assurance that
water in the utmost abundance shall be
furnished to them at all times
of the year, but especially during
the hot season, and if the propeller pumps
can do this economically they should be
adopted. Before substituting them for the
present system, however, they should be so
tested that there will be no doubt whatever
about their ability to do all that is claimed
for them; and if they will do this, it would be
much better to expend our millions upon them
than upon the construction of new reservoirs,
which the experiences of the past prove may
some day fail when it is most important that
they should be full.

nUR WATER SHPpLY

The water famine of summer before last and
the one which was threatened during the
prolonged hot spell of last year, awakened
much anxiety with regard to the reliability of
the means now in use for supplying the city
with one of the prime necessities of life.
For the city to be left without water in the
summer or even for the water supply to be
seriously reduced, would be calamity of the
first magnitude; and the subject of insuriDg
an abundance of water at all seasons, in the
face of all probable contingencies, should
have received, ere this, far more attention
than it has yet done. A second summer
since the water famine is now upon us, and
there is no assurance that the works in ope-
ration will not prove insufficient just at the
time when there is most Reed that they
should be equal to every demand upon them;
and if the Chief Engineer obtains
the So, 122, 900 he is asking Councils to grant
him for the extension of the water works,
there is no guarantee that even this large
amount will place us out of the reach of dan
ger. Ia view Of all the facts of the case, the
proposition of Colonel Barton H. jerks, in
behalf of the Hydrostatic and Hydraulic
Company, of which he is President, is entitled
to a candid consideration at the hands OF the
Committee on Water, to whom it was yester-
dayreferred. This company engages tofurnish
pumps and buildings, and to guarantee sup
ply of 5O,OOO,O 900 gallons of water every
twenty -four hours, for the sum of So, 800, 600.
In cass Councils should not wish to adopt the
propeller pumps Of this company absolutely

THE State Legislature has passed finally
bill which, under the innocent title of the
Laurel Run Improvement Company, conveys
important privileges connected with the pur-
chase of coal mines, aud the mining and
transportation of coal The capital stock of
the company is to consist of one million of
dollars, but it is authorized to in
crease the amouat of stock and to
issue bonds to an unlimited amount;
and also empowered to purchase, sell, trans
port, and mine coal, and to mine and manu-
facture iron, and to acquire from time to
time, by purchase, lease, or otherwise, an
unlimited quantity of land, as we'll as to con
struct all necessary buildings and fixtures
necessary for the purpose of mining and for
preparing coal for market, mining and manu-
featuring iron, and the accommodation of
persons engaged" in the said business.
These extensive powers and privileges
would, at an earlier period of the history of
the State, have excited vigorous hostility; but
we are not aware that the bill in question
encountered any serious opposition, aud if
the Governor signs it, it remains to be seen
whether it will become a mere speculative
charter, or the base of gigantic coal and iron
mining operations.

The Blood ClaAin Scandal.

Mrs. Annie Clafin disappeared mys-
teriously on Monday last, and was re
turned to her daughter yesterday morn
ing. The following is the story of her
a adventures as she related them to a
Tribune reporter /:
Last Monday afternoon I went to
No. Is East Thirtv-eighth street,
| where my daughters, Mrs. Woodruff
and Airs. -Tennie ClaHin live. ! rang
the bell and asked for my husband,
who came out, and we walked down
the steps of the tunnel TO the Fourth
Avenue railroad. l at first thought
I would take a. car, but afterwards
decided to walk. After my husband
left me 1 went to see the Sisters of
Charity in Thirty-second street, where
I stayed until about dusk, and then
started for home. When got to the
foot. OF the hill, two men came up be
hind ME and thrust ME into a-carriage.
I could not see either of them, as they
threw my shawl. over my head and
bound it there. Oneso them got in
to the carriage with me and we were
driven rapidly away. When 1:asked
him what he was going to 10 with me,
he said: owe Know all about you;
you-ane7 insane. The man. WHO told
us to. take you, said you were making
mischief between your two daughters
and he mnstput you out4offthe way"
When L toldshim to- let me out, he
said if l did not be quiet, he would
throw me into the river, and so l said
no more, through fear. We rode, l
should think about two hours. we
got out, and heT deliveredCm still
-bhndfolded, to a woman who -ledAme
up three flights of stairs, and remoy-
ing my shawl, thrust me into a room
and locked the door. 1t was a small
room about eight by twelve feet in
dimensions, with a skylight but no
window, so that / could not see out at
all. l stood there all night and no one
came: The next morning the woman
came to bring me a piece Of bread and
a cup of water. All. the time I Vas
there, y slice. of bread and a cup of
water was all l had. 1 tried to get
her to come in and tell me where l
was and what they were going to do
with me. On the third day she came
in. When told her my story she
said she was. sorry for me, and finally
consented to aid me to escape, if |
would go blindfolded, as 1 came. 1t.
must have been late that night when
she came for me, and leading me to q
carriage, drove away with me. L
asked her to leave me near the Har-
lem depot, and she did. 1t was then
about hall. past Two o'clock in the
morning, Blood has often threatened
my life, and has said that he never
would stop until the id old b-h
was under the sod. l believe he al
the one who had me carried off. -
