CASCADE PUMP AT WORK.
Repairs Notwithstanding to
Board of Regents to he Elected.

The pump in the monument basement was
kept at work all day yesterday, but worked
with poor satisfaction. 1t stood a good
while without attention after being put in,

they expected. The cascade pump was set
to work in the afternoon and was found to
give satisfaction. 1t throws a jet about
three feet high in the terraced basins and
the water flows over to the main basin be-
low. The water in the main basin cannot
rise above a certain point. The water sup

DANGERS OF BROAD RIPPLE.
Three Young Girls Got Drunk There
Yesterday and Were Locked Up.

Three good looking and well-dressed girls
were locked up at the county Jail last
night, one being charged with profanity
and the other two with drunkenness. They
took their disgrace extremely hard and
their screams and sobs could be heard for
some distance. They were young girls and
each declared il was the first time she ever
did wrong. They live with their parents,
who are very respectable persons. Yester-
day the girls went to Broad Ripple for a
holiday. They had a very gay time, but it
must be said that when they arrived at the
Jail they were not much intoxicated. A con-
stable of Squire Liken's Court arrested
them shortly after 10 O'Clock. They sent
for Gus Rahke after reaching the Jail, hop
ing that he would bali them out and thus
prevent their disgrace reaching the ears
of their parents.

and held.
The Majestic's lot was tho largest over

Tho diamond cutters were set apart in

ing Inspector J. J. Quinlan and his as
sistants busted themselves examining
the men individually and preparing ev-
idence TO pLcsent to the board OF special
inquiry, whom the men were taken be-
fore that body.
The thirteen from the Westmorelaud
wero the first examined. II did not
take long to dispose OF their cases, as
the fate OF all was decided on the afi-
davit of one of their number. He was
Francis Bosch. In his affidavit he set
forth he, with the twelve others, were
engaged in Antwerp by tho diamond
cutting firm OF Colterman < Heinrich
to work for their branch establishment
in Cincinnati, Ohio. lie said they
were to receive one hundred francs per
week and their passage was paid to this
city, and that they wers TO bo trans.

Upon this testimony the board unan-
imously decided to exclude them all.
Under the law the importing firm is
liable TO $1,000 in the case OF each or
$4,000 for the party. Commissioner
Scnner could not state as yet wheth.

trac; aud twenty as paupess liable TO
