THE WATER ROSE.
One of the Pumps at the Water
Works Stopped by Sipage.

The pumproom at the Water Works
was partly flooded yesterday, the sipage
water from the river coming in through
the opening made by the removal of
the brick bulkhead in front of the
building when the mains were connect
ed with the pumps last Sunday.
1t came in around the Stevens pump
and necessitated shutting it down, and
as the Holly pump was also threatened
Engineer Wood promptly sent for a
fire engine, which pumped all Friday
night and two were put on yesterday,
reducing the depth of the water five
feet, and the water will be kept down
so as to preclude any further danger.
Had the Holly pump been forced to
shut down there might have been a
water famine. as the new Allis pump
is not yet in shape for service.

VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Extracts From Editorial Expression Of
Journals
Of the State and the Coast on SUBJ
jects of Living and News
Interest.

Oakland Times: Among the bills in
troduced at Sacramento yesterday was
one which undertakes 10 establish a
legal definition of the phrase "a news
paper of general circulation" in con-
nection with legal printing. And GER
tainly the interests of the public re-
quire that this should be done, and that
said definition should be adhered to by
courts and lawyers. in the interest of 4
proper protecting of public rights.
PROOF OF PURCHASE
Tulare Register: The Senate has
passed a bill for the appointment of
Commissioner to a monetary confer
ence, a fact which William jennings
Bryan may note with interest because
he has claimed that the Republican
plan for a monetary conference was
bern of insincerity. and intimated that
We would near no more of such con-
ference after election. There is still
left him the claim. however that if the
wisest financiers of earth cannot agree
ii is proof they have been bought by
Mark Hanna.
But DON'T CATCH HER OWN.
Bakersfield Echo: When it comes to
capturing criminals-bad criminals
criminals that other people don't like
to fool with, California usually carries
off the premium. Instance the capture
of George Taylor at Hanford Saturday.
Taylor is one of the murderers of the
Weeks family in Missouri and his
brother has already paid the death
penalty. Frank Taylor escaped from
Jail only two or three days before he
was to have been hanged. and thou
sands of dollars have been spent in
searching for him.
CERTAINLY.
The Mail OF Woodland: 1t is to be
hoped that the Legislature will appro-
pirate the $4,000 asked for to make an
exhibit at the Nashville exhibition. The
exhibits made at Chicago and Atlanta
have repaid the State many times. Cal
ifornia cannot have too much of such
advertising.
A MATTER OF PROSPERITY.
Bakersfield Californian: The present
Legislature might profitably take up
the good roads question and by intel
ligent action thereon perform a real
and lasting service to the interests and
industries of the State. and one that
will benefit every class and condition
of its people. The legitimate expenses
of building substantial roads will be
met by the average taxpayer without
protest, for the general proposition is
recognized that the maintenance of
good highways and largely conducive
to the comfort and prosperity of

VISITING THE PRINTER.
The Retrenchment Committee visited
the State Printing Office yesterday
afternoon. Committee clerks are busy
with the big pay rolls and with other
interesting figures.
There seems to be a matter of court
etiquette in the way of the committee as
certaining the full charges against the
Printing Office. 1t is claimed that the
Governor has intimated that it would
hardly comport with his dignity to
plebean subpoena, but that he is willing
to accord them an interview in which
he will impart such information as he
possesses.
On the other hand, it is said that
what the committee is after and
what it has not yet found is somebody

of much mirth and enjoyment on Fri

WERE HAVING Hot TINE
One of the most disgusting scenes
our reporter ever witnessed was the
arrest of James Betz, his wife and
sister. by officers CreQue and Mar
tin on Sunday afternoon last, for
being drunk and disorderly on the
streets of this city. Early in the
morning they hired a two-horse
team from Blake's livery. and with
several children, spent the day in
the country, imbibiDg too freely in
country air and the use of alcohol
which they had with them. Upon
their return to this city, they were
all hilariously loaded with booze,
and proceeded to have a hot time in
the old town. They had it, with
the result that they all landed in
the lookup. The sight they pre-,
sented when taken from the vehicle
wss disgusting one, as they were
scarcely able to stand ON their feet.
1t is disgrace to think Martins
burg has such people in it. After
spending the night in the lookup,
Mayor Henshaw fined them So each
on Monday, which they paid, and
were released.

"HAMLET" AT THE CENTRAL.-The
large crowd that witnessed the pro-
duction of "Hamlet," by Mr.. James

superb company, at the Central
Opera House, on Wednesday even

best plays ever given on the stage
of this city. 1t was simply one
grand performance from beginning
to end, each actor and actress being
well chosen for his or her part. Mr..
Young, as Hamlet" held his au-
dience, from the time of his appear
ance on the stage, spell-bound. His
facial expressions were wonderful,
and under his perfect control. He
captivated the audience by his
gracefulness, and takes poses that
never fail 10 please. He is, without
doubt, one of the finest actors that
ever came to Martinsburg, and bids
fair to rival the best tragedians
known. The audience, though not
as large as it should have been,
greatly enjoyed the efforts of Mr..
Young and his company, and should
he ever again come to Martinsburg.
we predict for him a crowded house.
Those who missed it, missed treat.
