THE HUB.
A Sunday Fracas-NOt Dead but Slept

tor Rev. L. ii. Johnson. A large |
audience were present.

annual sermon to the Porters
and Janitors Mutual Aid Associa-
ton, Sunday evening, at the Eben-
ezer Baptist Church. large atCen-
dance was present.
The solemnity of Sunday was dis
turbed by little frscas between Mr..
Green. a resident OF Buckingham ST
and a Belt Line car conductor. Al
though we do not on general princi-
pie believe in fighting on the Loru' 8
day, we heartily endorse the course
taken by Mr.. Green. 1t Is evident
that we must contend for the respect
that Is Que us at all hazards. 1t
seems that Mr.. Green In company
with a lady boarded a car at the
South end and gave the conductor
$1,000 In payment of fares which the
conductor put in his pocket. When
the car reached Park Square Mr..
Green having reached his destiny
wished to get off and asked for his
change, he was told that he would
get il when he (the conductor) got
good and ready. MIR. Green pulled
the bell cord with the intention of
getting off but the conductor refused
co allow the Car to stop. When the
car reached Beacon ST., Mr.. Green
had become thoroughly angry by
the treatment received and struck
the conductor. The conductor then
gave Mr.. Green his change and called
q patroleman and had Mr.. Green ar
rested. A passenger on the same
car states that MIR. Green had ample
excuse for the assault.
Mr.. W. Il. Brown, who was so baC
ly Injured on the morning of Marcel

MAGNIFICENT PLANT.
Water Problem Solved at Santa Fe-
Finest Reservoir in America
Pronounced Perfect by
Experts.

The magnificent new water plant of the
Santa Fe Water & Improvement company
was completed just as the month of June,
1894, became part of history.
Upon invitation of Mr.. Julius M. How
ellis, constructing engineer, and Capt. S.
H. Day, superintendent of water distribu
ton in the city, Mayor Sloan, all the
members of the city council, except
Messrs. Bartlett and McCabe, City Attor-
ney Renehan, Sheriff Cunningham, Hon.
Levi A. Hughes, Mr.. M. A. Downing and
a New MEXICAN representative visited the
new reservoir about four miles up Santa
Fe canon yesterday. The trip was official
so far as the mayor and city council were
concerned, 1t having become their duty
to inspect the plant and determine
whether the water company had complet-
ed its important work in compliance with
contract.
The official inspection of the water
plant proved as satisfactory to the
guardians of the city's interests as it was
naturally gratifying to the officers of the
water company. The verdict of the in
spectors was unanimous and emphatic in
about these words: sit is good work,
true work, honest work, enduring work,
just such work as is wanted" Such com
petent judges as Surveyor General Easley
unhesitatingly pronounced it excellent
in all spects-probably the most sub
stantial dam and most perfect reservoir
in the United States.
While richly merlted praise was being
bestowed upon Constructing Engineer
Howells for the recognized excellence of
his work, the NEW MEXICAN scribe was
more than gratitied to hear Mr.. Howells
say that much of the credit for the faith
full work done was due to Capt. John W..
Brady, who has been the actual foreman
in charge of the construction of the res
ervoirs under the engineers direction,
and has sighted no part of his work.
Your bushes, Capt. Brady, are as becom-
ing as your work is creditable to you.
After the inspection of the reservoir
the officers of the water company invited
their guests to an informal dinner at the
Palace hotel, which was the pleasurable
ending of an afternoon Of pleasure.
