The test resulted in a complete failure
OF the equalizer to accomplish the work
for which IL was designed. for when the
water was turned on the pressure al q
plug near by stood at exactly the
same as before-that IL, eighteen pounds.
The idea OF the inventor was 10 raise
the water twenty-feet all over the city.
and for that purpose he had arranged
semi-circuar pipe let into the water main
at two points, with a valve between the
two to shut Off the flow OF the water
through the main. which was thereby
forced up through the perpendicular pipe
to a height OF between twenty and tven-
ty-hve feet Upon reaching this height
II again descended 10 the water man.
IL was calculated by Mr.. c'Donneil that
the velocity or momentum attained by the
water in this descent would be sufficient
TO raise the pressure twenty feet.
PRINCIPLE WRONG.
Ii is now evident that the principle upon
which the equalizer was constructed WIS
all wrong since the action and reaction
OF the water In the equalizer was equal.
and when IL again reached the main II
flowed on with the same velocity as
though its course had not been inter-
rupted. Even admitting that this method
could be worked, the height OF the equal
izer would have had 70 be- above forty
five feet before anything could be accom-

A United States Judge Scores Deputy Mar
shaiis for Useless Arrests.

CHARLESTON. 8. c., Jan. J5.-In the
United States District Court to-day Judge
Brawley delivered very sensational
It's work. At this term OF the court the
jury have had TO find no bills against
many OF the parties indicted. and Il was
becoming notorious that United states
commissioners and marshals We're max
ing cases on t!msy testimony In order 10
get the fees.
Judge BrawIey devoted his attention TO
this subject In the course OF very
striking charge he said:
Your findings have demonstrated that
nine-tenths OF the prosecutions under Sec
tion 3242 have no merit In them; that
they have not been inspired by any proper
desire TO advance the cause or justice,
but by the greed of miserable wretches.
who have sought 10 make money out or
them.
Some OF these men have already been
brought to trial and convicted OF pSLy>
jury, and others doubtless VIII bcJ but
this evil, which has reached the prooor-
tioDs OF gross public scandal. cannot
be eradicsted by the punishment Of a
few obscure rascals.
"A new crop Will undoubtedly spring
up unless some means can be devised for
reaching the root OF It. This lies In the
fee system.
isfed me that more than half of the
prosecutions under this section--in the
lower tier Of counties. 1 would say. fully

II must do Marshal Hunter the justice
OF saying that he has promptly removed
every deputy who has been known 10
have been engaged In that kind OF buai-
ness. but there are undoubtedly many
persons now on this list who ought 70
be removed, and would be if the truth
could be discovered, and do not despair
OF seeing the badge OF . deputy marshal
one OF honor. as IL should be. Those who
hold the commission OF this Government
ought to be above the suspicion OF doubt
ful acts. and the men who disgrace the
service should be removed They impair
the usefulness and bring tscredit upon
the brave and honest men who are on
the rolls.
These faithless officials and these
worthless witnesses would be powerless
for evil II the commissioners did not lend
too ready an ear TO 'he tales that are
brought 10 them.
The circuit Judge. whose long es5ert~
ence on this bench has opened both eye1
