CLEANING ALLEGHENY.

A New City Water Works System to Bo
Discussed To-day.
Three sets of drop cleaners are at work in
each district in Allegheny, beside the men
az work on the sewers along the river. The
dredging boats have been unable to get far
enough up into the Butchers Run sewer,
and a force of men have been set to work
cleaning out the mouth. The sewer at
Western avenue has yet to be cleaned. 1t
was expected to have all the work COM
pleted by to-day, but it is doubtful whether
1t will be.
Since the cholera scare has been on,
talk OF getting the city water at
Harris Island has been revived, and
Mayor Kennedy hopes to put this ques-
"The work can be done cheaper now," the
Mayor says, ''on account Of the low prices
of pipe and iron. But few Of the Allegheny
people have any idea of the kind OF water
they are using. There are about 13 of the
city sewers with outlets above the present
water works. The water is pumped from
the river below these sewers into the Troy
Hill basin, which has a capacity OF 7.5O0,-
600 gallons. The city consumes %, 000, 900
gallons per day, so that the water has no
time to settle, and is practically unfltered.
II the water is taken from farther up the
river it will be somewhat better than it is
now, but 81, ,000,0 900 will be required to do
it."
Mayor Kennedy and City Engineer Swan
will get out the old plans of the project to-
day and look them over.

TWOBROTHERS DROWN
One Meets His Death in Attempting
to Save the Other.
BOTH BODIES ARE RECOVERED.
Pathetic Scenes Witnessed at the River
Bank and the Morgue.
FATE OF BOYS THAT PLAYED HOCKEY.

A most pathetic drowning accident, in
which two little brothers, Willie and James
Peer, lost their lives, occurred at the Tenth
street bridge yesterday afternoon. Willie
and James, aged II and 13 years, respec-
lively, are the sons of Frank. Peer, q ma
chinist, living at Gilmore street. The
two little boys with their younger brother,
John, attend the Sisters OF Mercy's school
on Enoch street. Yesterday afternoon they
did not go to school as usual, but played
"hookey."
The three brothers about 8 o'clock made
for the river, and as they passed through
the lumber yard from Second avenue,
Joseph Miller, a workman. heard one of
the boysshout ioyfully that he knew good
place to find crabs. They all ran toward
the river laughing and shouting and pro-
ceeded along the bank upturning stones in
search of crabs Miller said it did not
seem i've minutes after this until the
smallest of the boys came running up the
bank crying and screaming that his two
brothers were drowning. Miller ran imme-
diately to the river bank, but the bodies
had gone down for the last time.
Went to His Brothers Rescue.
The three boys, becoming tired of crab
bing, had taken off their clothes and went
in swimming. Willie procured log and
was enjoying himself padding around on it.
The other two boys remained nearer the
shore. All went we'll until the steamer
Charley Hook came steaming up the river
1t made swell i'll passing by, and one par
ticularly large wave overturned the log
upon which Willie was floating, sending
him into the water. Willie commenced to
struggle for his life, screaming to his BROTH
ers to help him. In an instant James struck
out for his brothers side and reached it,
only to be grasped by the drowning lad and
pulled down under the cruel waters. Little
John, who was standing on the bank, as
soon as he saw his brothers in danger, ran
for assistance.
In the meantime, some people on the
Charley Hook called out to P. Fox, who
was in skiff some distance up the river,
that two boys were drowned down at the
bridge. He Immediately procured some
graphing hooks, and, in company with
John Devin, started to the scene of the
drowning. Hugh Brennan and Charles
Motz, who were coming across the r1ver
from the Sligo Mills, had arrived there be-
fore him, and Fox handed them the grap-
pling hook. The first time they put down

TWO SIDES TO THE STORY

Told by Kate Fedorvitch About Two Al
1egheny City Officers.
Kate Fedorvitch entered suit before
Alderman Toole yesterday, charging Joseph
Blanck, an Allegheny policeman, and
James Seymour, an Allegheny health of.
fcer, with aggravated assault and battery.
She alleges that one night last week Blanck
walked into her house, at 68 Adams street,
Allegheny, and placed her under arrest and
dragged her into the street. Because she
resisted he dubbed her, and called Seymour
to his assistance, who also Joined Blanck in
abusing her.
The defendants tell different story.
They claim she was in the street acting dis
orderly placed her under arrest,
and that she fought desperately, and it was
with difficulty that she was subdued. They
furnished bail for hearing Wednesday
evening.

pointed special deputy or agent of the
State Board in this city and vicinity.
The letter states that the local railroads
all express willingness to act in accord with
the city in quarantine matters The city
officers believe quarantine stations and hos
pitals should be established at safe dis
tances from the city on the railroads, and
also that hospital cars in charge of physi-
clans should be attached to immigrant
trains. The principal question the officials
desire answered is the law in case of objec-
tions from the authorities in the various
counties where hospitals might be located,
and what power or authority the State
Board of Health has in such emergencies as
to designating locations and assuming con-
troll of the stations. The cost and MAIN
tenance of such stations or hospitals and
upon whom the expense would fall is also
asked in the communication.

dent Passes Through Pittsburg.

for Vice President, passed through Pitts
burg last night on his way to Woodsdale
Park, near Hamilton, Ohio, where he will
to-day address the State League of Repub-
lican Clubs. Mr.. Reid travelled in draw
ing room of the Cincinnati sleeper attached
to the limited. He had retired to his
apartment before reaching Pittsburg and

In the same car was c. w. Tyson, M.
Reds private secretary. He said the can
didate for Vice President had retired early
because he had been compelled to rise early
in the morning when leaving his home.
Mr. Tyson said everything looks satisfac-
tory for the Republican party, and he said
there was no doubt that Harrison and Reid
would be successful He believed that Hill
and Cleveland would not be able to arrange
their differences. "Cleyeland cannot be
elected without Hills help" he said.
''Mr. Cleveland rnn on his merits four
years ago and he was defeated"
Mr.. Reid will spend the Sunday with his
mother at Cederville, and will be buck in
New York on Tuesday.

try to resuscitate the little fellows. As
they lay there waiting for the patrol wagon
to come to remove them to the morgue, it
was indeed pathetic sight. A large crowd
gathered on the bridge and shore and looked
on with moist eyes. Then came the

took short look, and shudderiDg, turned
away.

not stop until he reached his home, where
