More About the ReservoIr.

side yesterday. and are now replacing the cobble
stones on the Middle street side with granite
blocks.
Some interesting facts about the reservoir I'M
der the pavement are furnished by Engineman
Porter Of the Machigonne. The reservoir is built
OF stone. in three sections with stone partiwals,
opening into each other. When it was originally
built the iron scuttle, just replaced by turned
stones furnished an opening into the middle COM
partment. The other two were reached by what
might be called dummy hydrants pipes extend

end to answer for strainer, and with head
above the ground. suitable to attach suction hose.
In a short time the handbills thrown around the
street filed in the holes in the bottoms of the
pipes and water would not come. The ends were
cut oil and regulation copper STEAMERS put on
After that they gave no trouble. The reservoir is
rooted with blue stone. This reservoir has saved

MASONRY DENOUNCED

At Meeting of Baptist Ministers Ono
Takes Exceptions and Asks That His
Name be Dropped From the Roll.
BosToN, June 23.-At the regular
Monday meeting of Baptist ministers
held in Chapel hall yesterday morning,
Rev. j. B. Stoddard addressed the con-
ference upon the influence of secret So
cieties upon the church. In the course
of his remarks he strongly denounced
masonry and declared that when man
swears allegiance he swears allegiance
to code antagonistic to God.
Rev. Mr.. Cleveland, of Melrose, arose
to point of order at the conclusion of
the address, saying that he was amason
and declared that he could not listen TO
such uncalled for abuse. The chairman
put the question to the meeting on sus-
tanning the point of order and it was
defeated 80 to Z. Mr.. Cleveland then
arose and requested that his name be
dropped from the roll of membership
and left the hall

During the afternoon the Rev. Mil
burn was sent for and administered the
sacrament. Then Mr.. Mcdonald called
his family and intimate friends about
him and calmly, as If the occasion were
one of the most ordinary kind, gave di-
rections for his funeral arrangements
and the disposition of some of his per.
sonal affairs. ..... ..
In the presence of all he said he
wished to give testimony to his faith in
Gods saring grace. Then he grasped
each by the hand and bade them good
by, saying he could see no more callers
His auditors thus dismissed, the dying
man sure ndered himself to the care of
his physician to await the coming of the
inevitable.
The eX-senator's full name was Joseph
Ewing Mcdonald, and he was born in
Butler county, o., August 90, 1919. He
came to Indiana with his stepfather
when only seven years old. At the age
of twelve he was apprenticed to sad
Ter at Lafayette. After five years of
apprenticeship he entered Wabash col
lege, then studied law and began ita
practice. He was elected twice prose-
cutting attorney of Tippecanoe county
and afterwards defeated Henry S. Lane,
the most popular whig in Indiana, for the
seat in the Thirty first congress, He was
the first attorney general OF Indiana
elected by the people in Indiana in 1864.
He was defeated for governor by Oliver
P. Morton, although he received 5000
more votes than the democratic state
ticket received two years previously
when it was elected by 10000 votes. In
1875 he took his seat in the United
States senate for six years After his
senatorial career he opened law office
in Washington and divided his time be-
tween that city and this, engaging in
some of the most Important cases in the
state and federal courts. He was mar
ried three times. His last wife survives
him with one son by his first wife.

TRAINS COLLIDE.

A Passenger Train and Gravel Train
Come Together-Two Trainmen and Sew
eral Passengers Seriously Hurt.
WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, June 24.-A
passenger train due here at $50 and
gravel train came together head on at 9
o'clock yesterday morning, just in front
of the station. The headlights and front
ends of the locomotives, the front end of
the baggage car of the passenger train
and number of the gravel cars were
smashed. The shock of the collision
hurled passengers and trainmen from
their positions. Engineer Frank Fol
wer and fireman j. Sweeney, of the pas
senger train, were both seriously hurt
about the head.
The following passengers were seri-
ously hurt: Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin
Havil, of New Haven, are suffering from
shock and facial cuts; Mrs. Brown, head
cut; Henry Odell, aged II, of Scarsdale,
four wounds about his head and body
and suffering from shock. The other
passengers escaped with bad shaking
up and with scratches and minor
wounds. The wreck was cleared away
in about an hour. The engineers of
both trains say they were signaled that
everything was all right and lay the
blame upon the fiagman.
