OUR WATER SUPPLY.
TIE SUBJECT DISCUSSED AT YESTERDAYS
SESSION
OF the City Water Blari-C'uacil 70 Be Asked
10 Order a Careful Investigation Of
the Whole Matter.

The City Water Board held rather i'm
portant meeting yesterday. The session
was called for the transaction of routine
business. but while the members We're
together, the general subject Of the water
supply Of the city came up, and was dis
cussed FOR quite while.
As has been heretofore set forth IN the
REGISTER. the members OF the Board, in
common with other well-informed people
are convinced that with the completion OF
the new reservoir, the city will be con-
fronted with the necessity of purchasing
and placing in position new pumping
machinery. This idea was the key note OF
Yesterdays discussion in the Board,
and il was determined that the
time had come to look at
the matter carefully and intelligently'
and to this end resolution was passed, Tor
submission TO Council at its next meeting,
authorizing the Water Board and the
Council Committee on Water WORKS 10
hold a Joint session and take steps To have
a careful inquiry set on foot, embracing IN
its details an examination Of river water
taken from various points, by competent
chemical authority, and the preparation oil
an estimate, by some engineer OF standing
i'm his profession, as TO the cost OF the
erection Of the new pumping machinery
deemed TO be indispensable, at apoint 10 be
hereafter decided upon The preparation
of such a report IS expected to consume Il
considerable amount OF time, but II Is
hoped the data will be in the hands OF the
Board and Council early IN the coming
autumn.
After the adjournment of the Board a
member OF the body said TO a REGISTER
reporter:
There is no doubt but that new pump
Ing machinery must be purchased before
the new reservoir can be used, aud can
prove the statement in very short time.
The two old pumps can each put about
600 900 gallons day in the present reSer-
voir. but are not equal 10 pumping 100 feet
higher 10 the top Of the hill. The two other
pumps. one capable of pumping 4,OOO,NO
gallons and the other 3,OOO,OOO gallons 10
the present reservoir. or a total of 100000
gallons. cannot be expected at the outside,
TO do more than two-thirds of that work
when started to pump to the hill
top. Let US say they together will
pump 100000 gallons per day. Now,
the consumption of the city Is >, 100000 or
5000 900 gallons a day, leaving deficiency
which must grow with every year-to be
supplied by new machinery The city
ought 10 have TWO lO,O0O.OOO pumps, or one
10. GOO. 900 and one 100000, and now IS the
accepted time 10 get them. Council will
do well TO order the enquiry we shall ask
for. and give the people all the light posi-
BILE on the subject

A BAD INJURY.
A Young Man Has His Spine Dislocated In
"A Mine

Yesterday morning a young man named
disqualification met with an accident in the
Riverside coal mines at the upper River
side mill, which may result fatally. Young
Watson was a new man, and was employed
as driver When the accident occurred
he was making his fourth trip out of the
mines. He was sitting on car and was
compelled TO bend over very low at places
owing TO the unevenness OF the roof. One
place especially he had been
warned against on account OF
a stone sticking out some distance, but
he must have forgotten the warning, be
cause the stone caught him on the shoulder,
and the mules continuing 10 pull the cars
along, Watson was twisted around In q
terrible manner before he was released.
His cries brought workmen 10 his assist
ance, and the unfortunate young man was
taken 10 the residence Of his sister, Mrs.
Davis, on Twenty street. with whom
he lives. DR.. Ford attended him and
found the spine badly dislocated, so much
so that complete paralysis Of the lower part
OF the body and limbs resulted, and at last
reports Watson was lying in that condi-
ton. He is nineteen years Of age and I'M
married.

rheInsnrnnce Men Kick.

The insurance men are beginning to
make an effort to frown down the use
of fre-proof safes. and point to the fact
that il would be wise for any one hay
ing a safe of that kind to have it inSnr-
ed. for it would surely be ruined for all
practical purposes in case Of a big fire.
But they are being met with the fact
that although the safe itself would be-
considerably damaged, the contents
would remain uninjured, and that 1t Is
undoubtedly cheaper to pay insurance
on the safe than it is to pay insurance
on its contents.

that 10 had no connection with their com

couldn't imagine what the statement meant
10 is moro than likely that the Wheeling
Terminal Company has some connection
with the purchase OF lands on the Island,
about which So much conjecture has been
made lately a gentleman Interested in
the purchase of the land spoken Of said
the other day that ne could tell good story
about the matter, but De wouldn't There
