Danger from Fire as Homestead.
HOMESTEAD. Pa, July 9.-Should fire
break out in Homestead, and that IS not
unlikely, as q result of further trouble, the
town Will be practically at the mercy of
the flames Yesterday the startling dis
coyery was made that tho reservoir basin
by which Homestead is supplied with
water had sprung a leak, and already three
feet of water had been lost The basin is
situated on hill above the town. Into it
the water is pumped by machinery. and
those In charge aim to keep fifteen feet
always at hand. Since the leak started
the supply has been reduced to eleven feet
OF water and strenuous efforts are being
made to discover the leak. At the same

The almost general belief that Pinkerton

our people to be quiet on the subject. and

The mystery surrounding the disappear
