The Water w orks.

The following from the Orcgonian Of
the 25th shows the plans of the Lewis
ton Water and Light Co., in regard to-
their plant here. We are informed
further that the pipe selected has been
bought and will be shipped at once.
''rhe Lewiston, Idaho, Water COM
pany, in which several prominent
Portlanders are interested, was recently
organized and Incorporated, with y
capital stock of 100000. Enough stock
has been subscribed and paid up to-
commence the immediate construction
of the works. Engineer Bloomfield,
who has the work in hand, has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the character
of the water, the site for the pumping
station and the plant:
After careful examination, the
Clearwater river at q point about two
and one-ha1f miles above the town, has
been selected as the source of supply.
That the Clearwater is not misnamed
can be seen at the confluence of it and
the Snake river. The latter river IL
charged with sedimentary matter, and
is highly alkaline, while Clearwater il
remarkably soft, clear and free from im-
purities, and rs they meet, the two wa-
ters are as distinct as blue and brown
ribbon, side Ly side, until they inter-
mingle below.
The works will be a pumping system
of capacity of 1000, 900 gallons raised
to an elevation of 225 feet, giving
pressure of 81 pounds per square inch
in the lower and business portion of the
town, and will give the beautiful pla-
teau above the bluff ample pressure for
all purposes.
The plant will consist of brick en-
gine and boiler house 40 by 40 feet, on
u concrete foundation IA feet high on
the river front, into which Is built the
heavy wrought iron inlet pipe and
pump well, with their attached screen,
gate and foot valve. The inlet pipe
will be feet below extreme low water.
The pumping engine will be one Of
the modern type Of double compound
condensing engines. The boiler will
be Of steel, s5-horse power, with steam
pressure of 120 pounds. The reservoir
will be cement lined, and Of q capacity
of 500 600 gallons. The mains and
distribution pipes will be 8 and oa-l00
miles long, consisting Of II, 10, 8, and
4Anch pipe.

FLOODS IN CHINA.
Heavy Loss of Life and a Railway
Embankment Destroyed.


The Department of State at Washington
has received from the United States Leea-
ton at Pekin, China, report relative to the
recent heavy foods in that country. There
port says that the floods have been the most
serious ever known. 1t is supposed that an
area CT 5000 miles and population of several
millions were affected by them. Many people
have been drowned. Tens Of thousands are
refugees from their homes, living on
charity.
One result Of the floods, the report saws,
may have far-reachinS consequences Near
Lutai, which is point on the railroad from
Tongku to Tongshan, the railway ernbank-
ment has been destroyed by the people for
several miles. 1t was alleged that
the embankment damned up the
water and flooded the country.
Forcible possession was taken of the embank-
ment which was cut in many places: the
trains were stopped, and the employees driven
away.
The Tongshan colliery has shut down. 5000
men being thrown out of employment, and
the operation of the railroad is of course,
suspended. The destruction of the embank-
ment was wanton, and unnecessary for let
ting off the water. All these proceedings in
dictate all anti-rairoad excitement which
may result in postponing Indefinitely any
further railroad enterprises in China.

The Metropolis of Central

.Riotous Looters Shot Down by
the Soldiery.

!. A most disastrous fire broke out at Colon
(AspinwalD, in Colombia, very early on re-
cent morning. It consumed the greater por-
,tion of the town, destroying three-fourths OF
the place, including the most important bust
ness houses.
The fire commenced shortly after mid
might. 1t originated in the back of
1.-THE store of Rathbun Pratze, On
Bolivar and Fifth streets, near
the Electric Light Company's building.
which was entirely destroyed. From the
start to the time when it burned itself out
inear the market the fire fed on immense
quantities of alcohol, spirits petroleum, and
fother in1ammable materials, and was en-
.tirely beyond human control. Without in
lterruption the hames sprang up IN three d.
enthusiastically through Bolivar
and Front street. sweeping away every
business place, store, and private residence
lin the way; westerly through Fifth street to
the Royal Mail premises, Panama Railway,
land General Superintendent's offices, leaving
nothing but the walls standing of the latter,
land northerly to Fourth street.
In all about $50 buildings were destroyed,
including the Postoffice, Supreme Court AL
caldia, Municipality Prefecture, the agencies
of all the steamship companies except the
French Company, the Pacific Mail and Royal
Mail Offices and part Of the wharf, every
business house of Importance on Front street,
and all the hotels
The inhabitants were panic-stricken for a
while, but order was soon restored. The
fire was got under control about A. NJ, but
"a pile of lumber belonging to the Boston Ice
Company, containing about $50, 900 feet, was
still burning.
The total loss is estimated at about 81, 500
600. The total loss of the Panama Railway
alone is calculated at 500, 900.
The cause Of the fire has not yet been as
~certained. Some believe it was accidental,
while others think it was Of incendiary
origin, The burned property is guarded at
present by soldiers Only few Of the prin-
cipal business firms were partly insured.
Several steamers were obliged to leave the
wharf during the fire. The United States
man-of-war Kearsarge left some hours be-
fore the fire broke out. At last accounts the
fire had been completely subdu6d. About
hundred cars of freight in the railroad yard
were consumed.
Owing to the riotous behavior of mob of
1ooters the military opened fire with ball
cartridges, killing and wounding several
persons. Reinforcements Of police have been
dispatched. A supply of food has also been
sent. Everythingis reported quiet now.
Colon, or Aspinwall, is the seaport of the

side of the Isthmus of Panama. The town
contains about three thousand inhabitants.
