CAUSED A BREAK IN THE WATER
MAINS AND WATER FAMINE FOR
THE CITY.
BREAK CANNOT BE REPAIRED
UNTIL THE FLOOD sU3sIDES-EAsT
SIDE WILL SUFFER- IN MEAN
TIME.
SCIENTISTS IN THE CITY
Delegates to the Agricultural Con-
VentiOn Register-GeReral News
OF the Mill City.

The immense jam of logs which has
collected on the upper side of the steel
arch bridge leading from Nicollet
island to the East side, was responsible
yesterday for the breaking of one Of
the twenty four-inch water mains
which lie upon the bottom of the river.
After a long search yesterday the
water department located the break by
shutting off this section of the mains,
but for the present it will be an i'm
possibility to repair the break
That there was a leak was discov-
cred about o'clock yesterday morn
ing and in many of the down town
quantity. The pressure was so slight
that there was not sufficient force 10
send the water above the first stories
of most buildings, and consequently
there was a good deal of incon-
venience. 1t was very difficult to de-
tect the break as there were no sur
face indications, but Supervisor Nc
ConnelIs theory was correct, and by
shutting off the Zig main which crosses
the channel on the east side of Mic
ollet island the pressure was in time
restored, proving that the break was in
this section.
To what extent the mains have been
damaged cannot at present be told,
as it is impossible to reach them and
for the time being repairs cannot be
undertaken with the jam of logs and
the swollen current After the water
has receded a diver will probably be
sent down to examine the break. The
superstition is that some of the logs
in the JAM which has been formed
above this bridge for some time, were
forced down to the river bed with
great force and caused the damage.
This, however, is only a theory which
can be substantiated only by eXamina-
ton. The break is situated near that
of last summer.
The usual inconvenience of a re-
duced water supply were felt yester-
day, but fortunately no fires occurred
at this time. The broken section has
been shut off and no further trouble
will be caused. Supervisor Mcconnell
says that this action will bring about
no hardships and will in no manner
affect the city water.

HAVE THE DUMB RABIES.
A Woman and Child Bitten by IL Dog
So Afflicted.

DR.. Charles E. Cotton, veterinarian, Sixth
street, near First avenue south, has a mad
dog locked in a box stall in his barn. 1t was
brought TO him Sunday afternoon, carefully
slowed in a sack by a woman who claimed
TO have been bitten by the animal, and who
stated that a little girl, the daughter Of a
Mr. Bayard, who lives at Eighteenth street
and Stevens avenue, had also been attacked.
In company with Health Commissioner
Avery, DR.. Cotton examined the dog, and both
gentlemen declare the canine to be afflicted
with rabies There are two kinds of rabies
known as the active and dumb conditions,
and from symptoms readily recognized by the
physicians. they agree that the dog has been
seized with rabies of the latter description.
1t is only with the greatest eXertion that
the dog can operate its fangs, and for this
reason the wounds inflicted on the woman
and child will not result seriously, as the skin

FELL UNDER CAR WHEELS.
Bay Crushed Into
Shapeless Mass.

Charles Lund, aged nine years, son Of
ole Lund, an employe of the Peavey Elevator
company, residing at 1921 Twenty-fifth avenue
south, was crushed to death beneath the
whees OF an outgoing freight train on the
Milwaukee road, at the intersection of Cedar
and Franklin avenues with the tracks
shortly after O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The body was removed to the county morgue
where 1t was identified later by the sorrowing
relatives.
The boy and older brother boarded the
train in the downtown yards with the inten-
ton Of stealing ride home, and the victim
was cllng1ng to the iron ladder on The side
engine, when he lost his hold, either through
fright or exhaustion, and fell directly across
the rail. Fifteen cars had passed over his
body before the train could be stopped. and
the remains had been crushed into an almost
unacceptable mass. The head was nearly
severed from the body, which was completely
divided, the wheels having passed over the
abdomen. 1t was the frantic cries of the
elder brother, who managed to hold on to
the side of the car, that finally attracted the
attention Of the train hands, who signalled the
engineer to stop.

Largely in the Dark Horse
Direction.

DETROIT Mich, July 12.-All fears
of light attendance at the convention
of the National League Of Republi-
can clubs were dispelled this evening
by the arrival of big delegations from
all directions. According to the
registration there are already 1,OOG
delegates on hand, beside many out
side visitors The only states which
will not be represented are South Caro-
lima, Florida, Washington, Oregon and
New Mexico. All the other delega-
tons had arrived tonight excepting
those from New England, New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and
North Dakota.
The preliminary function of the con-
vention took place in the Hotel Cadil
lac tonight in the way of reception.
The receiving party consisted of the
president of the league, ID. ID. Wood
mansee, of Cincinnati; Gov. Pingree,
President E. N. Dingley, of the Michi-
gan League; Secretary NJ. j. Bowling,
Of the National league, and Col. Henry
M. Duffield, Col. John Atkinson and
James H. Stone of Detroit. The dele
gates passed and shook hands with
the party to the accompaniment of
stirring music by big orchestra The
corridors were filled with crush of
good humored politicians, and the
scene was decidedly merry and inform
al.
The only drawback to the gathering
apparently will be the absence of noted
statesmen now prominent in public
life, most of whom are detained in
Washington on account of the tariff
bill situation. The presence of Senator
Hanna at least was confidently an
ticipated, but 1T is doubtful whether
he will appear. 1t is probable that

Turnverfen Postponed One Year
Election of Officers.

Election of Officers.
The second biennial funniest of the Nor
wegian- American Gymnastic Union of Amer
lea was yesterday brought to an end, and
this morning the valiant turner's Of Chicago,
who made such an elegant fight for first
prize Saturday, will leave for home. The best
CT feeling exists among the turner's who at
tended the tournament, and 1t will be with
longing that the next festival is looked for
ward to.
The convention was held at the turner's
headquarters yesterday morning, with the So
cieties represented follows: Minneapolis
John P. Jacobsen, Alfred Amundsen, Theo-
6ore Sjonnesen. John Jacobsen, Peter Fisher.
Chicago-Fridtjof Andersen, Henry Tolzlen,
Sigurd Anderson, l.. Andersen John johnson.
AS the year 1900 is generally looked for
ward to as a year of conventions and ma
tional meetings, it was unanimously decided
top Ostpone the holding of the next festival
until that ime at a place to be selected by
the new board of officers.
The election Of officers resulted as follows:
John P. Jacobsen, of Minneapolis, president;
Henry Tolzien of Chicago, vice president;
John johnson, Of Chicago, financial secretary
L. Andersen of Chicago, treasurer.
In the afternoon the visiting turner's were
taken to Lake Harriet and Minnehaha Falls
on a trolley car. To most of the visitors
these points were revelations in natural
beauty, and the greatest surprise over the
natural scenery was expressed.
At Minnehaha Driving park last evening
the bicycle race postponed from the picnic
Sunday was run. The race was ten-mie
one, and was participated in by Einar Lee,
Thorvald Lee, George Hermansen, Einar
Trane Christ Andersen, Of the Minneapolis
society, and John Nelson, of the Chicago
Turner's. Owing to the poor condition Of
the mile track, it was necessary to run the
race on the half-mile one. Over half of the
race was run in the dark. Nelson, of Chicago
made good fight UP to the sixth mile, but
spent his force IN a sprint having misunder-
stood the distance of the race, and could not
finish better than In fourth pace. The race
was won by Einar Lee, with Thorva.d Lee a
close second in $3.50. These two finished an
eighth of a mile ahead of the bunch. George
Hermansen took third place.

ON THE SIDE OF LAW AND ORDER.
Another Render Approves Stand of
the Globe in the Younger Case.

To the Editor of the Globe.
do not, as | write this letter, know whether
or not the Younger brothers are to be par
doned but / desire to congratulate you upon
the stand which you have taken in this mat
ter. ! feel that you are on the side of law
and order. If it once becomes fixed in the
public mind that life sentence means mercy
a detention in the state prison until 1t suits
the governor or the pardoning board to re-
lease the prisoners, the effect cannot but
be demoralZing upon both law-abiding ci Il
zens and those who not so. Upon the
former because the temptation to take into
their own hands the punishment of offenders
will be increased and upon the latter be-
cause they will feel that the chances of any
adequate punishment for their offenses are
small.
The effect of an advocacy of the pardon Of
these criminals is shown in the hippant man
ner in which the Pioneer Press Of today speaks
of their offense. That paper says regarding
the Northfield murders: Because another
man WAS killed by some unknown person, pos
sibly by accident a result of the pistol
firing on both sides" This is an allusion
to the murder of the Swede who failed to
understand the peremptory order given by
the Youngers to withdraw from the streets.
One would suppose, however, from reading
the words above quoted that the Youngers
and their friends had been invited into North
fed to indulge in some friendly pistol prac-
tice, and that the death Of the Swede was the
result Of same. Yours truly,
p. S. Mcgowan.
