Note. OF the rev ana uid Po,ics.

At one o'clock the members of the new
city police force were called together in
the station house, where they were met by
the mayor and Chief Of Police Haines.
They were all sworn in by the mayor, who
then told them that they should respect
all orders coming from their chief as
though they were given by himself
directly. The chief then read the rules
governing tho police force AZ adopted by
city councils, and gave them instructions
in their various duties, SO. Heaunounced
that shift No of the new force would go
on at 3 o'clock this afternoon. lt would
consist of the following officers SwenE,
Creamer, StOrmfeltz, EicholtZ, Heisse,
Roadmau, Merringer, Richie and Speec.
The other shift will report for duty at Z
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The uniforms of all Of the new officers

work Admirsbiy.
Saturday afternoon Mayor Macgonigle,
Mayor elect Rosenmiller, the water com.
mittee and several members Of city
councils and other city officers together
with newspaper men visited the city water
works TO give the new WorthipgtoD
pump first trial. The party were met
by Superintendent Halbaoh aud shown
through the works. The room In which
the new pump In placed Is . very fine one.
IL is unfinished, a ceiling OF yellow pine
being yet to be put on and the wall to be
plastered. The new pump Is an immense
affair, having about tho same proportion
to the 3, 900, 900 gallon pump that Jumbo
does TO the baby elephant.
Everything being Ia readiness tho may
and mayor elect put their hands TO the
wheel and set the machine IN motion. II
went off at the first as thou sh IL bad been
used TO n. The agent sent on by Mr..
Wortbinpton to superintend the erection
was overjoyed at tho manner In which the
machine worked, and while he Is naturally
proud of all Mr.. WortbiDgtOn's pumps,
declared this the best one yet built. The
"Y" connecting the pump with tho main
leading to tho reservoir being not yet In
place, owing to the break reported last
week, there was no water pressure against
the pump, the water being thrown into a
ditch outside the pump house instead Of
into the reservoir. The stream was an
immense one, and satisfied ev' ryons pre-.
sent that the pump will do all that Its
builders have warranted,
The logging" has not vet been pla ced
In the new pump, but this In no way
interferes with its working. The new
"Yn will be finished within few days
and shipped from Reading to this city, and
be put In place.
After inspecting the new pump and the
other machinery the visitors partook OF
eshments furnished at their own ex
pense. In this connection we may say
that during Mayor MacGonigle's siI years
aud half administration not one cent has
been taken from the oity treasury to pay
tho expense Of any Of tho little set.ups
enjoyed by committees engaged in official
work.
