Fish Fer AL.

Thousands of tish-Gerinan carp. "cat-
from kantner's dam. one mile south OF
town. Saturday afternoon. II required
no skill To catch them. All that WAS nee
cssary was a strong pole and lots of ell
bow grease. 4 few of the largest carp
caught measured y inches each in length,
while hundreds measured from 10 TO p
inches each. Many of the largest weigh
ed more than six pounds each.
Sometime during the morning an OPEN
ing was made under the falls and the al
ready low water soon run of until only a
few inches remained in the channel Of
the stream. In this shallow water the
fish floundered away in mad and inef-
fectual effort 20 escape. y crack on the
head or back with pole rendered them
powerless and caused them to Hop up
their tails and turn over ON their backs.
II as then an easy matter TO gather
th IA up and throw them onto the bank
of the creek. Several barrel of fish had
been removed before il became noised
about town that the dam WAS being
drained. but soan after the knowledge
reached here the banks OF the stream were
lined on both sides with boys and men
all eager for the sport. During the next
two hours the slaughter OF the fish went
on and il was common sight TO see men
and boys carrying strings of fish weigh
ing from y to 20 pounds from the dam to
their homes. In order to catch the fish il
was necessary to wade through black.
Shiny mud from two to four feet deep.
but this did not deter the excited crowd
from pursuing the game.
The water was run off the dam for the
purpose of digging deep excavation
from which ice will be taken next winter.

A SATISFACTORY TEST.
THE WELLS YIELD AN ABUND-
AKCE OF WATER.
All OF the Mains Filled With Sparkling sad
Bright Fluid, and that too During
the Greatest Droath Known
in FOrty-Eight Years.
GENERAL REJOICING THROUGHOUT
THE TOWN.

Monday work on the water works had
progressed Ear enough 10 permit testing
the mains and the bed of the reservoir.
Steam WAS accordingly generated ia the
boilers and the pumps started. The pipes
running east were closed when il requir-
ell only a short time 10 force the water up
to the reservoir. Soon after pumping
was commenced Il leak was discovered on
Gravel Hin, which required some time TO
repair. Yesterday morning pumping was
resumed and by II o'clock all Of the pipes
i'm the circuit were filled with wafer
II is claimed that the pipes were filed
without appreciably reducing the volume
ofthe water in the wells. and that the
test made definitely settles the question
in regard to the quantity they are able 10
produce.
II might be well al this time TO explain
that the borough had two wells drilled i'm
the basin ON West Union street. from
which il is proposed to secure sufficient
water to supply the demands of the town.
y distributing reservoir is being erected
on Tayman's hill, and will be completed
in the course of week or ten days.
Persons who have tested the quality of
the water pronounce il soft and adapted
10 domestic use.
The flooding of the mains was greeted
with satisfaction by all OF the residents of
the town, many Of whom had entertain
ed doubts a. to the ability of the wells 10
supply the demand that would he made |
npon them.
During the afternoon hose was attached |
10 the fire-plugs in various parts of the |
town, when, with pressure of ~ pounds, |
Il steady stream of water was easily |
thrown onto the highest buildings. When /
the pressure is increased To the maxi 1
mum-2j0 pounds-called for for the final /
test, il Is expected that water can be
thrown over the weather-vane on the
Court House. This insures excellent /
protection against fires.
In view of the satisfactory test made
esterday-,lEring the greatest drouth
experienced since lSji-it is reasonable to
suppose that the supply of water is abund-
ant and that the residents OF Somerset
will henceforth enjoy one Of the greatest
boons any community can possess.
