From the White Pine News We
learn that VIM. Erslsinc's hand is in
a bad condition from being bitten by
w. w. Lewis. Fears are entertained
that Erskinc, who is Gi years of age,
may lose his hand and perhaps his
life too. Lewis was arrested but sub
scquentiy made his escape, being por-
united by the Sheriff to see his wife
in her " room. The Sheriff and
deputies are on his trail.
White Pine News:-Il is n strange
but true factor OF our civilization that
90 per cent. of tho criminal class
never appear on tho assessment roll,
nor contribute IL cent towards the
administration of the law, whose
strictest letter they ST often invoke.
The good, pcaccabic citizens arc al
ways taxed TO save this ru!iian class
from the gallows or the State Prison.
Il hardly looks just, but such is law
and custom.

AT WORK AT LAST.
Tho Pumping of the Yellow Pond Merrily
Going on-A Means Of Lowering the
Threatening Water.

Tho Pumping of the Yellow Pond Merrily
Threatening Water.
Residents of the Thirteenth ward in the
vicinity of Yellow pond retired last night
upon couches of contentment-according to
the latest returns. After a tedious interim
since the memorable local deluge of a week or
80 ago. the balky pumps started off at great
rate yesterday evening, and, if Jupiter Pluyius
doesn't turn his sprinkling-pot on again, the
impending danger of inundated homes on Soho
street and Center avenue is at an end.
The efforts of big force of men, with two
old hydraulic pumps, were futile yesterday to
decrease the depth of the fast-flling frog
pond, and another one was engaged. which was
at work in no time.
Thomas Carlin & Sons, of Allegheny, were
engaged by the Department of Public SAFETY,
and in Is minutes after their new piston pump
was put at work general decrease of IA inches
of water had been forced over the hill, down in
a turbulent stream to the Soho pond on Fifth
avenue, whence it is carried on to the river.
Some of the people on that side were fearful
lest repetition of the Yellow pond trouble
drop was found open and free from ali rub
bish or barrier. The water is ten feet from
there, and is fast flowing through other small
holes below, the drop, thus precluding any
danger.
At this time the sewage is steadily flowing
down from Center avenue and Minersville, as
far out as Thirty-third street; but the pump
now on hand is equal to the occasion. An
eight inch pipe is being used and to-day another
pump is to be put in operation, which will ac-
celerate the work very materially. The firm
now doing the work is the same which was
called on to he'll } the city's engines In raising
the ruins of the Wiley building.
At the rate the depth is decreasing, by to-
morrow night the water will practically be
down to its proper level, should il not rain in
the interval.
