The man who has recently been playing the
demijohn game has at last come to grief. Early
yesterday morning the man who went away
with MI. Goddard's team at the Cape, returned.
He said that the man went to place on Com
mercial street and took the demijohns out of
the wagon, telling him to return for them in
half au hour. He returned but failed to find
the man. After waiting until nearly morning,
he started for home.
Mr.. Goddard came to the city early in the
morning, and informed Marshal Parker of the
transaction. The two soon started out, and
soon found their man on the corner of Fore
and Franklin Streets The marshal at once in
formed him that he was prisoner, and escort
ed him to the station. He appeared very in
dignant at the transaction, and refused to even
give his name.
Upon searching him, the marshal discovered
that he had a roll of paper which he was trying
to conceal. The roll consisted of several small
slips of paper with the following names and
residences plainly inscribed upon them: A. r.
Warner stevedore No. 1 Stetson's court; Mrs.
A. Foss, No. 1874 Oxford street; Capt. j. Lis
comb, N }. 145 Cumberland street; Joseph Lit.
tlejohn, seaman, 81 Newbury street; John
Weber, engineer, No. 81 Newbury street;
Capt. Thomas Ingersoll, No. 10 Dow street;
George e. Marston, steward, No. 2l7 Congress
street; Peter johnson, rigger, No. rs Newhury
street.
He refused to tell how be came by the names.
or to what use he was to put them. He stated
that be was native of Scarboro, and had
large number of friends there and in this city,
which he did not wish to disgrace by giving his
name to the public. He says that he has been
in New York fol- the past twenty years. and
did not come to town until Sunday morning,
when he arrived on the boat. He then went to
the Cape and stopped at the house of friend
until he visited Mr.. Goddard. He says at the
time he was there he was intoxicated, and did
not know what he was doing
He is shrewd appearing fellow, about 81
years of age, with a bright eye, and looks as
though he could deceive most any one he was
disposed to. He several times expressed wish
to die after he was arrested, as he said he was
afraid of the result of his arrest. The he would
change his whole manner, appear Indifferent,
and say that they couldn't do much with him
for little offence like that.
The marshal is of the opinion that he has
been in the city longer than he states, and be-
longs to gang of thieves who play the demi-
john game just to get "the lay of the land"
The police last evening found the demijohns
taken from Mr.. Goddard's at Coreys drug store
on Fore street. 1t is now thought that the
man arrested will be identified as the one who
procured the demjohns at Capt. Johnson's last
week. The police would like to know who the
names given above mean. Whether the houses
have been visited, or were spotted for future
generations.

Pure Water.

From the days of the old Romans down TO
the present time, political economists have
sought for an abundant supply of pure water
as the first great need of any great city. The
question to-day, wien railroads and manufac-
lures concentrate humanity at so many points,
is of more Importance than when settlements
were made merely where nature has provided a
full supply of the true water of life. Our
great cities are all seeking an additional water
supply. and in many the water now received is
expensive and unsatisfactory in quality from
the immense waste and sad deterioration con-
sequent on faulty system OF piping Many
different materials have been used for the con-
veyauce of water long distances. The old
Roman aqueducts brought water of only the
purity of ordinary streams, open to sun, air,
dust and like minor evils, style not feasible
in this day or country. The first American
aQueduct of which we have cognizance, that at
Portsmouth, N. H., in operation in 1890,
brought water through heavy pine logs, and so
continued up to year or two SINCE Lead has
proved dangerous for piping, and lined with tin
has been found enormously expensive for
doubtful result; while plain cast and wrought
iron rust and corrode; iron lined with cement,
glass or porcelain has been found impracticable,
on account OF lack of elasticity; and gal
vanized iron, which it was hoped would solve
the problem, has been found seriously affected
by the various salts and alkalls held in solution
by the water conveyed therein.
Again, the dependence of city or large
town on single main of great size has been
cause of disaster from any defect therein, and
the future water supply will be doubtless
through number of smaller mains, each indie
pendent of the other, thereby precludng any
possibility of a general failure. The National
Tube Works Company of Boston, Mass, and
McKeesport, Penn, seem to have solved the
problem as to a perfect pipe, furnishing
seamless, lap-welded wrorght,iron pipe, of
from one-halt to fourteen inches in diameter,
coated inside and out with an indestructibe
elastic enamel, and capable of withstanding
pressure of 1000 pounds to the square inch.
The coating ressts all known corrosves, and is
elastic enough tor all working purposes. while
all the connections are made by a sleeve joint
that prevents any leakage. A card in our
paper to-day is worthy the attention of every
person, public or private, desiring full supply
of pure water at the most reasonable rate
