The Reduced Water Pressure.

Considerable complaint is made in regard to
the reduced water pressure on the higher levels
of the city. The cause lies in the fact that in
making the connections for the new 4S-inch
main at the reservoir it has been found neces-
sary to draw the water from the compartment
Of the reservoir which lies nearest the city.
The supply now reaching the city comes
around the reservoir and tine usual head can
not be maintained. The reduction Of pressure
will continue several weeks

A DEADLY QUARANTINE.
An Entire Island Population Prey to
Small Pox.

SANDUsKr. ONO, Oct. 17.-About three weeks
ago DR.. E. T. Schneider of Pelee Island was
taken ill with disease which proved to be
small pox. Before the nature of the disease
became known over 200 people, including so
school children, were exposed to it. Yesterday
word came from Pelee that there are nearly
100 cases of the disease on the island. Inhabi-
tants of the place who have not yet contracted
the disease are panic stricken. The Canadian
government has established quarantine against
the island, and all neighboring American ports
not now quarantined will be closed against 1t to-
day, thus shutting the stricken people out from
all communication with the outer world.
QUARANTINE DECLARED.
COLUMBUS Oct 1.-THE state board of health
has issued an order closing all ports along the
shores Of Lake Erie against Pelee Island on
account of the small pox epidemic there. The
island has about 1000 population every one of
whom will doubtless contract the disease. All
avenues of escape from the place have been
closed by the American and Canadian authori-
ties. All Lake Erie Islands, including Putin
Bay, North Bass, Middle Bass, Kellys, and
others, have quarantined against Pelee which
has become a vast isolated pest house.

Crew Of the Fleet Of New War Ships.
Rear Admiral Walker expects to sail with his
squadron of new ships from New York about
November 1. He will proceed first to Lisbon
and will then probably go to Fayal 1t is his
intention to keep the squadron together, in Or
der that series of naval manoeuvers can be ac-
complished. The admiral expects that the
trip across to Spain will take about two weeks.
He will run the squadron under both steam and
sail all the way over, and will keep the crews
drilling most of the time. He has filed the
berths of the new squadron with some OF the
very best talent in the navy, 80 that the show
ing to be made by this, the first frst-cass naval
fleet that has ever sailed from these shores,
will undoubtedly do much toward the elevation
of the foreign idea OF American naval power
and seamanship. The squadron will probably
not remain very long in European waters. as it
is expected that the new vessels will keep on
around the world, visiting most Of the principal
naval ports.
