Its contract, and Councilman Darnell was
made its chairman. An investigation
was quietly conducted until the

which TO base its report. The facts gathered
were ready for submission along with the rec
ommendation that the water company be not
paid. because it had not fulfilled the provisions
OF Its agreement, but, as several councilmen OBJ
jected to any presentation OF that kind until the
water company could make q defense, the de-
tails of the investigation were not made public.
The members of the say their exami.

they intimate that when their report in full ID

portion of the year gets water out Of the river
and the canal. and that it is obliged to do it in

that while the company was taking water from
the canal, and selling it for drinking purposes
all over the city. the body OF q person that had
been dead for several days was taken from the
place near where the supply was coming.

duty OF the city Board of Health to make the in

referred TO the Board Of Health. The board
will make a searching investigation. A special
meeting will be called in q few days to take pre-
iminarY steps in the inquiry. It is the purpose
to give both the Council committee which makes
the charge and the company a fair hearing.

Street-Car Rules In Gas Trenches.

The street-car mules are having a hard time
with the Gas Trust bitches. Yesterday two or
three had 10 be fshed out Of the trenches,
where they had probably sought relief from a
life of endless monotony, hoping the shovelers
would pile in the dirt on top of them unnoticed.
Two of the mules fell into holes so small that
the wnrkmen found it difficult to get ropes
around their bodies to pull them out. In this
connection it may be said that next to a
dog-feht an occurrence of the kind above noted
will draw the biggest crowd in the shortest
space of time. Nearly one thousand people
gathered at the corner of Washington street
and Virginia avenue in less than two minutes
when the blind mule attached to the A o'clock
Irvington car slid out Of sight. and the same
was true when a pair Of Pennsylvanlastreet
mules repeated the experiment at the crossing
of Ohio street.
