THE WATER SUPPLY.
When the stone bridge went down the
water supply on the south aide OF the
creek ceased. Yesterday afternoon Supt
Riddle had force of men brscing up the
twenty inch pipe which passes over
Caldwell's run on Chapline street, never
once thinking that the supply was to be
cut off at the creek. The main which as
sists in supplying South Wheeling by
way of Eoff street, which was broken in
the last flood, had Just been repaired and
now the work will have to berepeated. Last
night Superintendent Riddle had two lines
of heavy hose leading across the Market
street bridge from water plug on the
north side 70 one on the south side, which
gave the people enough water last night to
supply their wants when
USED ECONOMICALLY.
A ien-inch pipe will be laid across to-day,
and kilograms have already been sent for
some twenty-inch pipe, which, upon its
arrival, will be LAID across the bridge, con-
Meeting the main again. In the mean
time the people on the lower side Of the
creek should economic on the water "a
much ~ possible.
On account OF the weakness in their
bridge on Chapline street, and the want Of
water and gas, the electric street car line
was compelled to stop running its cars and
the horse cars were put on, running down
as far as Twenty sixth street and mp to the
end Of the line. As soon as the bridge over
the run can be put in shape for travel the
motors will run again, going mp over the
Market street line. They will get started
at noon, as they are engaged in laying q
private water pipe temporarily. The cleo
trio Liz hts were also shut of last night, but
will be on again this evening.
When the stone bride went down, with
the resulting fracture Of the 2O-inch water
main, the water ran out through the big
pipe with such velocity, that before the
valves could be shut down, the reservoir
was, to use the words of an attache OF the
water department ofthe city, ''as dry as a
bone"

At Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, August 22.-The stage Of
water at this point at 1890 o'clock this
Wednesday morning, was fifteen feet
aud rising at the rate of eighteen inches
an hour. Several houses on the banks
OF Saw Mill run, near this city, were
washed away tonight, but the occupants
escaped uniDjured. So far no casualties
have been reported.
At one o'clock this morning the lock
keeper at Lock No. on the Monongahela
river was compelled to move ont. The
water was crawling up the sides of the
lock very fast. The lock keeper predicted
90 or 80 feet of water at this
point at least, and said he would not be
surprised to see q greater flood than the
memorable one of 1894, when two.thirds
of the lower portions Of the two
cities were under water. The
residents of '1Shanty Town." on
the Monongahels. are moving their goods
and preparing to camp on the hillsides.
After steady fall of twenty six hours,
the rain has ceased, and the signal man
is Of the opinion that it is over, al
though it is still cloudy. The stage
of water at / 80 o'clock was 16l feet, with
the Allegheny rising foot an hour and
the Monongahela about eighteen inches an
hour.

To Keep Away Snakes.

It is always expedicnt in India to have
a dog or cat, or mupgoosc "a sort of
iclncumon)abo the house to keep away
snakes, or to draw attention to them
when they are crawling about. Ny
wife's dog probably saved her life by
barking at two snakes which got into her
dressing room. A cat with kittens once
drew my attention, by her extraordinary
antics. to large cobra which she was
trying to keep away from her young
ones. The mungoose is the professional
enemy of the snake, and goes for him at
once to kill him, and, lcrhaps, to eat
him. There is no valid foundation for
the belief that the mungoosc has recourse
to an antidote to protect itself from the
the snakes venom. The nungoose re-
lies on his own agility ed sharp teeth,
and on the coarse hair of his skin, which
will avert most snake bites. But if the
snake gets well home, SO as to lodge his
poison in the mungoose's skin, that mum
goose will surely die 1t is not dissimilar
to the case of the common village pigs
in India, which arc well known as scav-
engers and carbon eaters. They will kill
and eat any snake that comes in their
way, and the hide of their hard and hairy
bodies and legs is almost snake proof.
But if a cobra bites pig on a soft place,
SD as 10 plant his poison under the skin.
that pig viii surely die.-Foreign Letter.
