BROOKLYN WATER FAMINE.
Fifty Thousand Persons Made Idle by the
Break in the CONDUIT

Hlity Thousand Persons Made Idle by the
Break in the Conduit.
New York, Nov. 23.-As a 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 a water famine. There is
scarcely enough water in the Ridgewood
reservoir to last, even with the utmost
care, over twelve or fifteen hours. The
situation will be serious indeed, by
TINS afternoon unless something is done
before then to remedy it. Heroic
measures have been adopted to make
the present supply of water last as long
as possible, or until relief comes, and q
number fthe great industries of the city
Will be at a srandstiil for at least one
day. All the factories using the city's
water have been ordered to shut down
SO as to save the water for the necessl-
ties OF the general public. The great
engine which runs the cable on the
Brooklyn bridge has been stopped,
ana as many people as possible
bridge by locomotives. The fires
under the boilers at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard have been drawn and work is en-
tlrely suspended. The water has been
shut off from the boilers in all hotels
and office buildings, and as a con-
sequence not an elevator in the
whole city is running this morn
ing. Work in every factory where
steam is depended on for motive
power is suspended and the number of
those thrown out of work runs far up
above $4,000. 1t is hoped that the re-
pairs can be completed by tonight, but
Well-informed persons say that the
work cannot be finished before to-mor-
row noon at the earliest.
Before noon fire broke out in the
three-story and basement brown stone
house at 237 Carroll street, Brooklyn.
The firemen had no water, and the re-
port came in that they were tearing
down the houses on either side to pre-
vent the spread of the flames.

teen years. buffeting the waves

the 18th inst, when terrific gale was
sweeping around the British coast and
playing havoc with shipping. She inn
mediately ran into boiling sea that sent
mighty volumes of water over the vessel.
The crew were compelled to cling TO
ropes to keep from being swept over
board. One sea boarded the vessel,
swept over the deck and carried with it
Quartermaster Thomas Mckenzie, who
in going over the rail gave piercing
shrek of despair. He disappeared
in the angry waters and was
seen no more. In such a sea
nothing could be done for him. The
Britannia continued to meet very rough
weather during the greater part of the
voyage, and for the most part the pas
5engers were unable to go upon deck.
The time of the voyage was s days 5
hours minutes. covering 2,7ol miles.
