RICHMOND WITHOUT WATER.
Unavoidable Accident that Left the Village at
Mercy Of the Fire Fiend.

RICmMoSD, Feb. 25.-(Special. For
over 81 hours thi, place has been without .
full water supply, owing to an accident
which was discovered Saturday morning
and the cause located today. When Super
intendent Pushard of the Richmond Water
Co. turned the faucet in his sink Saturday
morning there was no water, and upon in
vestiga,lng the matter he found that the
reservoir had run dry during the night. AS
a precsu'i n against loss of property by
fire, MIR. PusharI at once got up steam at
he pumping station and then began
search for the leak. The greater part OF
the forenoon being spent in fruitless en-
ieavor, tie pumps were finally started ann
the water service was partially restored il
cert iin sections of the village.
Sunday it was discovered that check
valve at the station had caught and allowed
he water to flow back into the river. No
blame is attached in any way to Superin-
tendent Pushard, who is on the alert da,
and night to keep the service in good work
ing order. Everything is now all right.
Work was permanently stopped at
Clark & Chaplins Friday afternoon on ac-
count of the dirty condition of the ice.

President Cleveland Goes Off

Their Own Battles.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-President
Cleveland sailed from Washington this
sfternoon at 80 in the light house tender
Violet, for duck shooting trip along the
North Barolina coast. He was accompanied
by Secretary Gresham and Captain Robley
D.. Evans. naval secretary of the light

In private conversation with friends the
President expressed dissatisfaction with the
present aspect of affairs in Congress and
elsewhere, and bis desire to get away for a
time from the disagreeable environments
md 60 where no kilograms couli reach him
,ud no reporters follow bim. He spoke in
strong terms of the lack Of unity displayed
on all important party questions.
The activity of the Senate on the tariff
dill is to him matter of much concern, and
he apparent determination of the Demo-
rats of the House to force the coinage of
he silver seigniorage has given him great
uneaSness.
Added to the party troubles in New York
is the dissatisfaction of an element of the
party in Illinois over local appointments, an
unlocked for complication.

COTTON GOODS MARKET.
Meeting Of Manufacturers to be Held
at Fall River Today.
Every Indication Points to q Reduction in
Wages at Early Day.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. 25.-Much i'm
portance is attached to the annual meeting
of the Cotton Manufacturers Association,
which will take place tomorrow morning at
the association rooms. In addition to the
usual routine of business, the question of
the present depression in the cloth market
will come up for discussion. Several mill
owners of wide influence have expressed a
desire to make another revision in the wage
schedule,
Close and extensive inquiry made yester-
day afternoon and today for the purpose OF
learning if there were any existing plans,
failed to unearth anything more than the
fact that there is general discontent among
the manufacturers of print cloths and all
classes of fine fabrics. The last reduction
in prices was made by the American Print
ing Company and the expiration of proflta-
BILE contracts led some manufacturers here
tofore Indifferent to openly declare that
there was no remedy for the present con-
ditions except curtailment or lowering of
wages.
A number of treasurers expressed them
selves ready to reduce wages. Under no
circumstances yet apparent will they con-
sent to further curtailment. These men
will curtail the production only when the
operatives decline to worS for what they
consider market wages. They contend that
outside mills benefit too much by the idle
ness, and many operatives of these mills
have alfesdy suffered a reduction which
puts their wages on lower ba' /, than those
ia Fall River.
The statement that reducing wages cur
tails the purchasing power of only limited
circle of workers, is the one that manufact-
urers most frequently employ. They say
that there is some purchasing power yet in
the country, as shown by the sales of goods
made weekly in this and other centres.
How to meet this demand at profitable quo
tations is of more Importance to the mill
owners than the demand of the operatives
for them to go out of business by shutting
down the mills and waitir for boom in
trade.
TIE sales ahead for March delivery are
less than 100000 pieces. The rapid ac-
cumulaiion of stock makes prompt action
necessary. Two voluntary Increases in
wages were made by the manufacturers in
1892, because the prices of goods war
ranted them. The manufacturers say il
the present prices were compared with
those previous to that the necessity for a
cutdown would be apparent. Treasurers of
the mills now selling goods, are expecting
no profits from the trade, but are keeping
their stockholders quiet by paying dividends
from the surplus accounts.

The ice is run on two chains at the rate Of
40 cakes per minute to each run.
A careful estimate of the amount of ice
that will be harvested this winter on the
Kennebec river puts the figure at $4,000
tons, which, with the amount carried over
from last season, estimated at 400, 900 tons,
maks a total of ,250 900 tons.

in substance that the owners of such dan
gerous traps are not responsible for acci-
dents if the usual precautions are used.

MORE TROUBLE FOR McKANE.
Paul Bauer's Widow Sues Him for Several
Thousand Dollars Cue Her.

New YORK, Feb. 2J.-Suit has been
brought against John Y. Mex ane to obtain
an accounting of bis mana cement of the es-
tate of the late Paul Bauer, who once had a
.ell known resort at Coney Island. Th
plaintiffs are Bauer's widow and danght' r.
an their lawyers are Grout, De Fere &
Maye, Justice Gaynor's old partners, Wht
have been so active in the prosecution OF
Mckane. The papers in this case wert
I. .rved on Mckane in Raymond street jail
Saturday.
"It never rams but it pours," is said to
have been his remark when he glanced
over them.
One of his friends said he would have no
iifficulty in showing that he had managed
the Bauer estate in the widows Interest
throughout: and that every dollar which ht
received could be accounted for.
Mrs. Bauer alleges that McKane has
COLLECTED $40, 900 in rents from the property
and has paid only S3100 to her. She wants
the court, in view of the judgment, filed
against McKane and the alleged danger Of
the property being sold, to have it trans
ferred to her and Nick ane removed from
the trusteeship.
Mex anc is impatient to know his fate,
and was disappointed because Justice Cul-
len did not render decision on the appli-
cation for certificate of reasonable doubt
after hearing the arguments on Friday. Hi.
friends say that the suspense is now the
only thing that is worrying him, and that
Justice Cullen decides against him tomor-
row he will ask Sheriff Buttling to take him
to Sing Sing at once.
Now that McKane is believed to be GU,
of the way, some residents of Gravesend
are asserting their independence and sew
eral reform organizations are in process OF
formation in anticipation of the spring
election. Ga Friday night the Citizens
Association WAS organized, and the 43 men,
bers who signed the Ioll declared that they
would stick together until good government
had been secured for the town.
George w. Roderick, the faithful friend
md lawyer of McKane, has been worn out
ny bis recent hard work for his client, and
is confined to his house at Sheepshead Bay
suffering from nervous prostration. 1t is
thought he my not be able to appear ip
court tomorrow, when the McKane decision
i, to be handed down and the trials of SUIT
yerland and Jamison are to be bagun.

A SUPERIOR COURT.

There is no doubt but that the
legislature will do something this
winter to relieve the supreme court
of its weight of business. While
the judges of the district court have
little to do in some districts, the
judges of the supreme court are
away behind with their work and
continuously so. The number of
judicial districts can be advantage
ously reduced, and the money ex-
pended in their support can be APP
piled for the support Of superior
courts. If this was done it is not
probable that the state would be
put to any additional expense by the
creation of new supreme court
judges or rev superior court.
Chief Justice Horizons suggestions
with reference to this matter are
worthy of the attention and earnest
consideration OF the law makers.
Instead Of a commission, his plea is
two courts of appeals, to be COM
posed Of three judges each, to sit
monthly, one in the western half of
the state and the other in the east
ern, the jurisdiction of these courts
to be confined to controversies in
volving a given sum of money, not
more than 81 500 or $4,000, except
in cases involving land titles and
constitutional questions, which shall
so to the supreme court direct. He
believes that courts of this character
would be a great help to the su-
preme court az their Judgments
would be effective without the APP
prevail Of the latter court. They
therefore would really relieve the
supreme court of much litigation
which now comes to it and the
supreme court would thus have time
to clear its docket, which IS now
four years behind. He would much
prefer and so would lawyers gener-
ally, that instead Of creating addi-
tional tribunals the supreme court
be increased from the three judges,
as it is now constituted to five OF
seven, but as that cannot be done
without amending the constitution,
the only way Is to create an interim
nate court.-Salina Republican.
