The PAWTUXET VALLEY.
WARWICK.

The question whether the water of the
Pawtuxet river is fit for drinking pur-
poses has been agitated for a number OF
months and the NEWS reporter, after an
interview with many of the most promi-
nent manufacturers OF the Sta Q, has as
certained the following facts:
When the city of PROVIDENCE concluded
to use the Pawtuxet as the drinking
water OF the city, expert chemists exam
ined aud analyZed the water and also
visited various points along the stream,
and at that time the water was pro-
found In the State. When that analysis
was made sixty different samples Of
water were examined and in every In
stance the test was higher than that
found in any other river.
Then the manufacturers owning mills
along the stream did not use any precau-
tion whatever ana the sink drains, cess
pools, privy vaults, ETC., were allowed to
discharge their contents into the stream
without any effort being made to prevent
it. IL a dog died or was killed, an old
dead cat found, or an abundance OF swill
was found on hand it was all dumped
into the stream which at that time was
used as common sewer by the residents
OF Coventry, Warwick, Cranston and
Since the water was used by the citizens
OF PROVIDENCE for drinking purposes the
manufacturers, among whom may be
mentioned the firms of Is. B. g. X Knight,
Enos Lapham. Governor Howard, the
Corliss Machine Shop, Brayton's Found
ry, Kent Woolen Company, Hope Com
pany and others have expended thous-
ands OF dollars to prevent pollution of the
stream In erecting new buildings for the
disposal of sewage and new privy vaults
so that no obnoxious matter should enter
the river.
While admitting that the water Is not
what 1t should be the manufacturers are
naturally indignant over many articles
which have been written by number Of
papers upon the subject and claim that

Columbus Get. n scorching.

Columbus, o., has been visited by q
serious fire, doing over $500, 900 worth OF
damage. A business block and the prin-
cipal opera house were destroyed. There
was a number of thrilling and hairbreadth
escapes. and with the large force OF
women employed about the building where
the fire started, it is almost miraculous
that the death roll does not mount up high.
Goodmans factory employs about 2O4
hands, 1872 OF them being girls, 60 men and
IL boys. The factory occupied three
floors The spectacle OF girls going down
the fire ladders and escapes with aprons
over their heads was one OF the thrilling
episodes of the fire. The spectators were
Mortified by the sight of woman with her
babe in her arms stepping out OF fourth
story window onto the fire escape She
gesticulated wildly for a moment ther
turned and disappeared within, evidently
giving up in despair of saving herself in 81
dangerous manner. Two officers rushed
up the stairway. through the binding
smoke and flames, and in few moment
were seen again with the woman ant
child. Another woman appeared at
| fourth story window, started TO descend
by the fire escape, but being confused ant
blinded by the smoke returned inside, I
! be seen no more.

Gone TO His Reward.

A great good man has been taken from
his many loving friends by the death Of
Rev. G. H. Spurgeon, of Metropolitan
tabernacle, London. England. He was
born at Kalvedon, Essex, in 1884. and was
educated at Colchester, and became an
under teacher at Newmarket. Then he
Joined the Baptist congregation that bad
been presided over by Robert Hall, at
Cambridge, and soon became village
preacher When he was 10 years old he
was persuaded to go to London, and his
words were so persuasive that it was
found necessary to build tabernacle for
the people who focked TO hear them. It's
capacity was after while found to be
inadequate, and the present structure,
holding between 8, 900 and 5000 people,
was built In 1879 Mr.. Spurgeon received
silver wedding testimonial of over $50,
600. In 1884, on his attaining his 5Oth
year, another sum of about $50, 600 was
presented to him. He distributed the
whole Of these sums in charity. Mr..
Surgeons sermons were distinguished by
the simple earnestnecs with which they
were delivered, and the homely illustra
tions and applications that pervaded them
