NEW CASTLE, Sept. 10 WHATS the
matter with the water" has become q
popular and common question OF late
among the housekeeping people of this
city who have the New Castle Water
Company's pipes running into their
houses. For more than a month the
water has been unfit TO drink and is now
offensive for bathing purposes
All along, since it could be realized
that an odorthat was decidedly obnoxious
arose from every basin Of water drawn
from local hydrsnts, people have believed
that the scent must get into the water
by contact with the gas pipes or a
broken gas main somewhere The odor
had 'gassy twang." according TO the
popular theory, that might have
emansted from some disorder OF the
underground pipes.
Upon investigation yesterday the
EVENING JOURNAL correspondent as
certsined that the whole pollution Of the
water is caused by that same offal oil
from the LiebIg Chemical Works in
Wilmington that has killed the fish ia
the Chrlstiana. On extreme high tides
the Chrlstiana water flows into Nonesuch
creek, which stream. just this side Of
Newport furnishes New Castle with It's
water supply. At this season OF the
year, especially with a southeast wind.
there are sons high tides and on these
occasions people who live along the

be plainly seen floating up the Chris.

money which was offered Of their own
account by the iremen and policemen.
He said he thought it perfectly right to
accept this money TO defray part of his
campaign expenses.
The mayor occupied the witness
chair for nearly IN hour and freely ad.
mitted having received money from
nremen, policemen and city officers.
He explained that the contributions
were the result of a move on the part
OF these men to raise a fund to REIN.

campaign. He stated emphatically
that no man was made to feel that his
job was in peril unless he contributed,
and that no man had been retained be-
cause he did contribute, or was dis.

No Compulsion or Coercion,

money or anything else of value from

In connection, he said he had been of.

TIGER BILL NOT TRAPPED,
Judge Campbell Proved Too
Vigilant for His Enemies
at Wichita.
Arrest of Men Who Plotted to Have
the Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral DiSgraced.

WICHITA, KANs., Oct. 15.-The whole
town is laughing over the discovery and
defeat of an attempt of the enemies of
Tiger Bill, otherwise Judge w. P. Camp
bell, Assistant Attorney General for Wich-
ita, to entice that gentleman into a house
of questionable repute that the county
officers might arrest him for the violation
of the very laws with whose enforcement
he is charged. Campbell is leading the
reform forces in their endeavor to wipe out
the joints and disorderly houses of Wichita,
and, though unsuccessful in securing con-
victions, he has succeeded in bringing
down upon himself the intense hatred of
that faction of all parties, known as the
liberal element.
Recently a scheme was concocted to
compass his downfall by the connivance
OF a pretty woman, who came 20 him in
the euise of divorce client. 1t has since
developed that she received $50 as her fee
for blackmailing the Assistant Attorney
General. She practiced her wiles upon
him, and he, divining her purpose, en-
couraged the play in order to find out who
was behind the scheme. She proposed
that Campbell should meet her in Kansas
City, but her supposed victim was sly and
would not go. Then she arranged for a
meeting at house on South Main street
between 10 and II O'Clock last night. The
Assistant Attorney General went home in
stead, but informed Chief of Police Charles
Burrows of the plot, and the Chief, with
an escort of detectives, secreted themselves
near the house until the appointed hour.
Soon eX-Chief of Police Park Massey, Con-
stable Voss and James Gillespie, a mer-
chant, appeared. and while they were in
hiding awaiting the expected arrival of
Tiger Bill the Chief of Police and his men
swooped down upon them. There were
embarrassing attempts at explanation on
the part of the men who were on the
watch for the Assistant Attorney General,
and to-day the details of the entire plot
leaked ont
