Messrs. Hornung and Hermany, the
alleged experts appointed to find out which
company is entitled to furnish Newport
with pumping engine, reported to the
Water-works Board last night. The "ex-

was most favorable to the bid of Cope q
Maxwell, their proposed engine being rec
commended as superior to the Others in
strength and the connection OF the mem
