DEBATED YORK on THE AQUEDU CT
PORE NEXT YEAR-TUE QUESTION OF
WASTE IN SEWERS.


Were it not for the changes in the original plans
of the AQueduct at Northumberland thirty seventh
ST. and at the crossing of the Harlem River, New
York would have her water supply reinforced through
the new Aqucduct this fall. These notifications
and some of the repairs the only parts Of the
work that will not be finished by October This be-
lated work will not be completed, however, until next
year. Then water will come through the new conduit
TO the end of the Aqucduct at Onc-hundIed-and-
thirty -ffth-st The new pipes from there 10 the
Central Park reservoir will not be laid in time for
use next summer. but connections will be made with
the present pipes that the supply can be con
slderably increased next season. The new Aqueduct
Is intended to furnish minimum supply Of 100000,
600 gallons of water daily That IS the supply of the
Croton watershed for the dIycst seasons known.
In we; seasons tAe supply is greater, of course and
the Aqueduct will bring all that the reservoirs can
store, that the cItys supply is only limited by the
rainfall within the Croon valley and does not depend
upon problems of engineering
Supervising Engineer Ftelev estimates that the
supply through the new Aqueduct will be sufficient for
the growth of the city for twenty years at least, and
lated. The $50 100000 gallons day would give
hundred gallons per day per capita 10 population
OF two and half millions and fifty gallons day TO
population of five millions. Our present consumption
is seventyfve seventy six gallons. Mr. Foley says
that the reduction Of the present per capita consump
ton, without affecting the health or comfort Of the
CITY is merely question OF rebuilding some OF inc

to discuss it. Senator Frye however, saw fit
to say: "The whole tenor of the instructions
sent to our consuls has been such as to en-
courage the Germans to farther outrages and
insults.
Senator Morgan, a Democratic member of

THREE PECULIARLY AWFUL GRIMES

Widow and Four Children Murdered
House-A Father Chases Two Eioping
Daughters and Kills the Lovers and One
of the Giris-surder and Suicide by a
I6-Year-Old Maiden.
BRooKFILD, No., Jan. 2l.-Mrs. Minnie
Hall, widow, lived with her four children
about four miles south of this town. At 1890
o'clock Saturday nigh her house was com
pletely destroyed by fire. The flames at
tracted the neighbors to the scene, and when
the fire had burned itself out there was found
in the debris the charred remains of the five
occupants of the house. The eldest of the
children was years, and the youngest 2.
The ground was covered with fresh snow,
and by tracks freshly made it was discovered
that hay had been placed under the house and
the fire there applied. Scattered hay was
found from the shed to the house Tracks
of a man were seen leading toward
the city, and four men followed the
track The search resulted in the arrest of
James r. Howell about 3 O'Clock yesterday
morning. He was captured by Marshal
Critchf1eld III a room of the Babb hotel.
Suspicion was more strongly directed against
young Howell from the fact that he offered
desperate resistance TO the marshal ana posse.
He struggled for some time before being sub
dued, and during the fracas vainly endeav-
ored to reach revolver in his hip pocket
After he was secured il was found that the
revolver was filed with exploded cartridges.
He was closely questioned and ex-
planned his presence in Brookfield by saying
that he intended taking the early morning
train for Laclede From there, he said. he
would have walked south to Prairie Mound
School house where he was teaching school
The accused murderer was a cousin of the
dead woman. He had been in the habit of
spending Saturdays and Sundays with the
murdered family. Gossip in the neighbor-
hood had for several months been TO the effect
that improper relations had existed between
Mrs. Hall and her cousin. Questions asked
of the children tended to confirm this sls
picion. When seen i'll Jail last evening he
claimed 10 be innocent of any crime, and said
he knew nothing whatever about the death of
his cousin and her children. The five charred
bodies were carefully removed from the ruins
and placed in one box. The remains were
past recognition
When the story became known among the
farmers in the neighborhood a meeting was
held, but no definite action was taken Knots
of three or four gathered about the jail a,
different times, and lynching was talked of
but no attack was made, nor is one probable
unless Howell's guilt is ascertained beyond a
doubt. The sheriff placed an extra guard
around the Jail AS precautionary measure

ASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 2l-The Ford
immigration committee has reported to the
house as Il result of the investigation of the
committee last summer bill prohibiting the
admittance into the United States of idiots,

famous crime or misdemeanor involving
moral turpitude, persons affected with loath-

No vessel is to bring over more than one

A HAPPY DETERMINATION
To Finish the Tariff Bill on Time II II
Keeps the Senators Awake Nights.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan 2l.-This week
will see the conclusion of the tariff discussion
in the senate, and probably the passage of the
bill. There seems no question now in the
mind Of any one Of the adoption of the senate
substitute with such notifications as may be
offered to-day. One of these will probably be
the reduction Of the duty on lumber from s.
TO sl.50. There may be also slight change
in the wool schedule The senate viii bold a
night session 10 consider these matters and to
conclude the discussion. 1t may be, however,
that it will be necessary for the senate to
meet at very early hour Tuesday morning
if the original plan is to be carried out aud
the vote on the bill to be taken at l o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. 1t is the intention of the
senators having the bill in charge TO carry
this plan out to the letter. Senator Allison
said TO a representative of the United Press,
before the adjournment Saturday, that the
final vote on the bill would be taken Tuesday.
I'VE will begin to vote on the amendments at
o'clock, Tuesday" said Senator Allison,
and will probably complete our work at a
late hour Tuesday night"
With the tariff bill out of the way, the SEN
ate will proceed to consider appropriation
bills. Plumb will probably make an effort
before the end of the week to call up the
Des Moines river lands bill. Piatt's commit
tee on territories will likely report before the
end of the week a disagreement to the house
amendments 10 the bill for the admission Of
South Dakato, and the bill will go into con-
ference 1t may be discussed at some length,
however, before it is acted upon.
