Some workmen while engaged in dig.
ging up the bed of Market atreet inst
above Third, yesterday, came across
the old wooden drain which was formerly
used in the distribution OF the water
from the old spring near Cool Spring
reservoir. The trunk was made OF white
pine and although it is said to be 100
years old or moro, the wood below the
surface is as solid and good as when it
was put in. There are other similar drains
on Shipley, Tenth and other streets, but
they were all abandoned when the present
water works were started.

I the war, was not discharged, and that the

, the thieves from making q speedy en-
trance. ALI this required considerable
time and skill, and as the residence Of
Mr.. Owen stood directly opposite the
