Our Water Works.

Friday afternoon the final test Of our Water
Works was made by Q committee Of our city
council. The test required that four streams
should be thrown for an hour to height Of six
ty feet. This was done without any trouble
We can truly say, without boasting we have
the finest system OF Water Works in the State
The company has put in much better system
than the contract called for. The reservoir holds
over two million gallons Of water when the con-
tract calls for one million, the pumps have q
capacity of one and half million gallons while
but about half that amount was called for. From
the reservoir to Main street an eight inch pipe
hss been put In when but six inch was nomi-
mated In the bond. Altogether nearly SO. 900 has
been expended by the company more than would
have been necessary to fll the letter ofthe ordi-
nance under which the works were built. Too
much credit cannot be given Engineer Blanch-
ard for the splendid piece Of work he has given
us. When the works were complete not single
leak was to be found anywhere. We wish him
well, and hope his treatment by the world may
be as fair and generous as has been his action
toward our people with whom he has had
dealings

door OF the cage, dragging him to and fro,

and biting pieces off him and out of each
other. Wonderful as it may seem. he re-

through all the frightful ordeal. Knowing
it would Ike but a few seconds until his at

to his rescue, he made no effort to fight or
crawl from the cage, but lay upon his face
at their disposal, with only one strong fear
that he might receive 4 nip of the neck

blows of their paws, with which they are

supposed his injuries were fatal.
OF course that thrilling incident ended
the matinee. The curtain was lowered.
and a gang of helpers started the big cage
back to its place in the warehouse. While
it was going through the narrow passage
