TESTING THE PUMP.
TAe Engine More Than Faihliing the Con-
trnct Conditions.

The Engine More Than Falhiiing the Con-
tract Conditions.
Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock the Off
eisl test Of the. new pumping engine at the
Water Works was begun under "he super
vision of Mr.. Arthur Moore, the ' eli known
hydraulic engineer of Cincinnati. The
pump was started at the usual rsis ofspeed
about thirteen revolutions per minute
and at 6 o'clock the rate vas increased to
sixteen revolutions, which rate was con.
tinued for twelve hours. At that; speed the
engine throws about 4,750,000 gallons oil
wafer per day of twenty-four holrs, which
is about three quarters of mill ION more
than called for in the contract with the city.
In . general way Mr.. Moore expressed hin-
sell as delighted with tie work performed
by the engine, saying it was one Of the best
pun % he had ever tested, but of course he
could not go into details until after he had
made up his report from the data obtained
during the day.
The only noteworthy object OF criticism,
be said, was the faulty setting OF lie boilers,
which, aside from being for too large for
the work they were called upon t. perform,
we're fitted with furnaces which required
almost double the consumption. of coal
which should be required. ThisfinvolVed,
in the course Of year, large sad need
less outlay for fuel, and he thougb& it would
be to the citY's interest to make change.
Abiding to the fact that the engine had
been built in Ohio, Mr.. Moore sad he un-
derstood there had been some little feeling
manifested at the Withholding of the contract
from home firms, and lsughingly said it
vas the exception, all over the country, for
municipalities to give such contracts to their
own people, a1d this for good business res.
sons. Even AlleghenyCity, with the best iron
working establishments in the country i'm.
mediately surrounding her, had gone to
Milwaukee, the city of beer, for 8 pumping
engine. In Ike manner Chicago had
gone to Connecticut, St. Louis TO Baltimore,
while New York, Cincinnati and other cit
les, had ordered their most powerful pumps
from firms in remote parts of the country.
There was always some consideration in
price style, workmanship, capacity, or
something which made this patronage Of
outside firms desirable, and Wheeling had
been no exception to he rule.
Mr.. Moore expects to have his report
complete for presentation to the Water
Board tonight.

There appears to be some misappre
hension on the part of the public in
regard to the fish law. The impress
ion is general that the law of 1888 was
repealed by the last legislature. The
bill introduced failed to pass the Sen
ate, leaving the old one still in force
An act was passed, but it does not re-
peal any of the provisions of the old
law.
The fish law of this State prohibits
the use of a seine, trap, net, fish ber-
ries, line or giant powder, dynamite,
gunpowder or any other explosive sub
stance in taking fish. A hand or min
now net NAV be used in taking small
fish or minnows for bait. Owners of
private ponds may take fish at any
time. No trap shall be used in any
stream, and there shall be no disturb
ance or damage of fish eggs or young
fish, except by fish commissioners
their agents or owners of ponds. The
violation of any section of the act
shall be a misdemeancr, punishable

accident in this city Tuesday after
noon. While riding along Commerce
street almost opposite Wilson's planning
mill, about o'clock, he WAS struck by
q large rock on the left leg just above
the ankle. The ~ k WAS thrown out
by a blast Oh the opposite hill, about rs
yards away, and was hurled with con-
siderable force 1t weighed q pounds
The lick produced comminuted
fracture of both bones. Drs. McCauley
and Bailey were Immediately sum-
moned in attendance, and the limb
set and bandaged. The patient was
carried home as soon as his wound had
beenScared for, and at last accounts
was doing as well as possible under
the circumstances.

| The +. a &T Railroad now being
completed 20 miles, ID. N. Kennedy,
Trustee, makes call ON the subscril.-
ers to bonds for payment on their
subscriptions according to contract.
| II this call is promptly met, the i'm
debtedness incurred by the road for
the iron laid ON the last ten miles con-
structed can be promptly met and
there viii be no difficulty in securing
the. rails for the next ten miles, which
will complete the road thirty miles
out Of the city.
We are assured by those who are
in a position to know, that full psy-
ment of all subscription money now
due, will be more than ample to relieve
the road of all Indebtedness and leave
the managers unembarrassed in its
further construction.
There has been much complaint, not
altogether unjust, that the builders of
the road have not come up to the rep
reservations they made of their ability
to push the enterprise to speedy
completion. But this does not relieve
the subscribers from the obligations of
their contracts. Nor should their de-
sire for the completion of the road be
less ardent now than 1t was under the
influence of the enthusiasm at the pro-
mitigation of the project.
The road is in good running order
for twenty miles. A practical proof of
the fact is that daily trains, doing a
fine business in freight and passengers,
are run over the line for that distance.
1t needs but little more effort TO push
it to completion, or at least to carry it
into the heart of the country from
whence GAINESVILLE expects to derive
the bulk OF the trade it will bring her.
1t will be well for subscribers to re-
member that failure of the road
would not relieve them from the
amounts due ON their subscriptions
In such an event the creditors of the
road would, of course, bring suit on
these contracts. Decidedly the most
sensible course for those who subscrib-
ed for the bonds of the road to adopt
is to pay up their subscriptions so the
enterprise can be speedily carried out
and the bonds made to draw interest.
Whatever may be said of the short
eomings of the Mes<rs Gordon, they
have large amount of their own pri-
vate fortune invested in the road and
are more nearly interested than any
one else in its completion.
