How a Chicago Girl Freed Herself

A THIRSTY MORNING.
The Capital City of California
Seven Hours Without Water.

The Capital City of California
Seven Hours Without Water.
Sacramento Record Union.
For seven hours and half yesterday
morning this city was without water, to
the utter CONSERVATION of housekeepers
and citizens generally. Of course it
was supposed that the water had been
shut off to allow repairs to pipes, and
no uneasineSS was felt, though there
was some strong language used because
no notice had been given of the shut
ting-off of the water; but when it was
learned that there was no water supply
which could have been used in case Of
fire a great deal of indignation was ex-
pressed. Of course houSekeepers we're
put to considerable inconvenience, but
that was a small matter compared to
what might have Deen the result had a
fire occurred.
1t appears from the best information
Dbtainabe at the water works that on
the night previous the water was let
put of the reservoir on top of the city
prison in order that the tank might be
repaired. When the water got low in
the tank the air was admitted to the
pump valves and the pumps "lost
the water" as the engineers express it.
The Holly pump was started, but be-
fore the engineer could get water again
the supply in the boilers ran down so
low that he had to stop the engine. The
boilers were not empty, but of course
they were lowering rapidly, and as he
had no supply from which to8 fill his
boilers, he shut down rather than burn
them out. 1t is claimed that if there
had been reserve tank Of few
hundred gallons of water, the pumps
could have run so as to recover the
water in half an hour. AS it was there
was air on both sides of the valves. The
R8-inch suction which leads to the river
is about 400 feet long, and it was empty,
so that there was good deal of air to
pump before the water could be raised.
:. The engine was stopped at 2 o'clock
in the morning, and fire engine was
brought out and pumped water into the
bilger under the Holly pump, and thence
1t was pumped into the boilers. A cap
was taken off and water from the fire
then the steam was turned into the sue
tion pipe. The pumps were started up
again. and at about $50 a. m. had the
water flowing into the mains.
In the meantime, considerable water
was supplied to the city by the pumps
pf the railroad company. As soon as 4.
j. Gardiner, foreman of the pipe de-
partment at the shops. learned of the
difficulty he put all Of the railroad
pumps at work pumping into the city
mains through the ~eight-inch main
(which connects the city works with the
railroad company. The water from
these pumps had just reached the water
works when the city pumps were started
again, and it is not certain that the lat
ter would have succeeded in getting the
water as soon if it had not been tot the
failroad pumps. 1t is claimed that the
accident was through no fault of the en-
Eineer, but it would seem that some
plan should be devised which would
make such an accident impossible, The
patter will, no doubt, receive d thor
hugh investigation.

RYAN's STRANGE CAREER.
Arrival of Noted Man Who Has
Made $5,OOO,O0O In Twelve

San Francisco Examiner.
A medium-sizen, middle-aged man.
with an iron-gray mustache and off
hand ways, though of few words, ar
rived here yesterday over the California
& Oregon road. He is a man who has
made great deal of stir in half dozen
territories and states of the West, and
is yet doing it, and is talked about a
great deal.
The quiet, unassuming man was Den
mis- Ryan, the fiye-times millionaire,
builder Of the gigantic Ryan hotel in st.
Paul, railroad builder and silver mine
will remain all winter, but Mr.. Ryan
himself will stay but short time.
Mr.. Ryan has led a strangely check
cred life. Up to 1876 it is said he had
no money at all, and had the hardest
kind of work to get along.
In that year while tOlling as a COM
mon miner, he struck it rich in the
Rebel mine, 100 miles from Phoebe, in
Nevada, and sold out for 100000.
This seemed like vast sum to Mr..
Ryan, but he wanted more, and he put
a good many thousand dollars in the
Horn Silver trying to develop it, and at
last he and Matt Connolly, who were
equal owners, opened an immense ore
body and sold out to an English COM
pany represented by Sir Charles Frank
Ign, for 100000.
With this vast capital Mr.. Ryan went
to Montana and secured some of the
best mines there, and worked them at a
profit. He also secured large contracts
to build the Northern Pacific railroad,
and he has also been identified with
other railroad schemes, notably with
the road projected from Billings to
Cook City, in Yellowstone national
park.
He also began and completed the big
Ryan hotel in st. Paul, which is the
wonder of the Northern prairie regions.
The hotel is variously estimated to have
cost from 81, 100000 to $2,000,0OO.
Mr.. Ryan is now engaged with other
capitalists in building large smelter
at Tacoma for the reduction of Wash
ington Territory and Idaho ores. Mr..
Ryan was met by an Examiner repre-
sentative yesterday, but he hesitated to
60 into particulars in regard to this OF
other Western enterprises in which he
is engaged, saying that for business
reasons he preferred to say nothing.
He thought from their commercial loca-
tons, that Tacoma and Seattle would
be cities of considerable Importance.

SHUT OUT OF CHICAGO.
Iron Manufacturers Protest
Against Exorbitant Freight


PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 5.-The iron
manufacturers of the Mahoning and
Chenango valleys held a conference
with the freight agents of the various
iron carrying lines at the Monongahela
house to-day. They entered a protest
against the new freight rates which
went into effect on Jan. 1. They claimed,
and attempted to prove, that the new
rates would almost if not entirely shut
them ont of the Chicago and other
western markets. The new rates are on
a basis of rs cents per hundred between
New York and Chicago, east or west.
The old rate was 5 cents less. Pitts
burg manufacturers were called upon
to make statement in support of the
stand taken by their brethren of the
valleys, but they were not inclined to
give many valuable points. The rail-
road men took the matter under con-
sideration, but they did not hold out
any encouragement that the change de-
manded would be made.
