The Long Threatened Water Famine
In New York City Is Now
Reality.
Heroic Measures Taken to Make the
Present Small Supply Last as
Long ms Possible.
All the Large Factories Shut Down

New YoRK, Nov. x4.--As result Of
the big break in the conduit in East
New York Saturday afternoon, by
which four men were killed, Brooklyn
is on the verge Of water famine.
There is scarcely enough water in the
Ridgeway reservoir to last, even with
the utmost care, over twelve or thirteen
hours. The situation is serious, indeed
Heroic measures have been adopted to
make the present supply Of water last as
long as possible, or until relief comes, and
q number of the great industries OF the
city will be at standstill for ut least
one day. All the factories using the
city's water have been ordSfed to shut
down, so as to save the water for the
necessities OF the general public. The
great engine which runs the cable on
the Brooklyn bridge has been stopped
and as many people as possible are being
showed across the bridge by locomo.
tives. All the fires under the boilers at
the Brooklyn navy yard have been
drawn and work generally suspended
The water has been shut off from the
boilers in all hotels and Office buildings
and as consequence, not an elevator in
the whole city was running in the morn
ing. Work in the city depending on
motive power has been suspended, and
the number thrown out of work runs
far above 10000. 1t is hoped the repairs
can be completed by night. but well in
formed persons say that the work cam
not be finished before morning at the
earliest.

Samuel Mather collided with the steam
ship Brazil off White Fish Point and
went down in about 800 feet of water.
The Mather was bound for Cleveland

no damage. The Mather was owned
by James Pickands, of Pickands, Mather
Il Co., of Cleveland. She was built in
1887, and registered 1916 net tons. and
is valued at 100000. She was insured
for $4,000 in London Lloyds. Her
cargo of iron ore was worth about
10000.
The crew of the Mather got their
yawl boats down, and had just got into
them when the Mather went down. The
crew lost all their clothes, etc, and
some of them who had their summer
savings laid up lost it all. They were
taken aboard the Brazil from their
yawl boats and afterwards transferred
to the Parks Foster. They are all here

GARDNER, Ills, Nov. 24.-Notbing has
ever occurred in this village that caused
as much excitement as the attempted
robbery of the Gardner bank, and the
arrest of the two physicians caught in
the act of safe blowing by detective
who has been quietly at work investi-
eating numerous burglaries committed
by unknown persons during the past
year. The criminals are now known to
be DR.. McAdam and DIR. Boyes, and a
liyeryman who, however, disappeared,
is one of the suspects. So frequent were
the depredations committed by the
thieves that it was found necessary to
employ detectives, who came to this
place under various disguises and grad
ually obtained the information that led
to the arrests.

recent Liberai victories In Great Britain
RousinE the Tories.
LONDON, Nov. 24.--The Conservatives
are up in arms from one end of the
United Kingdom TO the other, and it's
leading representatives to the number
Of about 5000 commenced at Birming-
ham what is justly looked upon as d
most important meeting in the history
of ToryisIn In England. The recent
Liberal victories at the polls have in the
popular mind been the shadows of a
coming event which the Liberals declare
will sweep the Conservatives from power
and inaugnrate reign of democracy,
ETC.; the vesting Of the power Of lincens-
ing in the county councils with com
pensation for Republicans who may be
deprived Of their licenses and the intro
dnstion of a bill providing for
pensioning old people upon the insur.
ance plan. In the platform, in addition
to the planks already referred to, the
old Tory war cry as to opposition to
church disestablishment, the mainten-
ance Of denominational schools, the
preservation of the house of lords, will
be released and every effort will be
made TO outbid the Liberals for the
workmen's votes. 1t is understood,
however, that the Conservatives have
definitely decided upon the rejection OF
local option in the matter of an eight
hours of work per day. On the other
hand the conference will be asked to
declare in favor of increased Liberal
representation and the creation of q
labor department under cabinet min
lister whose title will be labor minister.
