The Waterworks Controversy.
Daily Journal, Thursday, 18th

Daily Journal, Thursday, 18th.
A CRISIS in the controversy between
the CITY Of Wellington and the water
corporation was reached today when
Superintendent ESpy, in accordance
with orders received from Eugene f.
Ware, had the fires pulled from the
pumping engines and ordered the plant
shut down. Word wds received from
Nj. Ware IarsGay night by wire,
ordering he works shut down imme.
dlaLely. Sir Espy wrote TO DIR. Ware
as, - irw Cdse in which 10 notify
Ellla.e consumer Of the final action
II TIE company. This morning a
leL'ci written immediately after the
sending Of The telegram, was received
By Nr. Espy from Attorney Ware,
which directed that the plant be shut
GOWl f1rthwth. In accordance. Mr..
E3py urdered that the fires in the
engine ryums be allowed to 20 out
this forenoon and the works will be
Shut down at o'clock today.
All efforts to compromise the affair
have proved futile. The proposition
made to tie waterwOrkS company at
the council meeting held the I'd inst.
reached Attorney Ware at Cascade,
COL, a few days ago. The proposition
was unsatisfactory and Mr.. Ware at
ORce wrote City Clerk Cheever as fol.
lows:
CASCADE, COL, August 10, 1897.
A. B. Cheever, City Clerk, Wellington,
! Kan.
Dear Sir:-I have just received at
this place your favor of the 4th inst,
containing proposition of city council
as to the wattrwOrks.
The taxes on the waterwOrks prop
erty for The last five years have ex-
ceeded 81, 100 per year. The PROPOSE
tl0n Of the city is that We are to earn
81, 100 for the public and $500 for our
selves.
This $l,l0O goes to pay, among
other things, the debts of the city,
support its schools and carry on it's
administration.
At the same time, the water service
saves Insurance rates to the amount
of 81, O4 per annum cash.
We cannot operate the works for
five gears at the figures offered without
falling far behind, and in the mean
time the public clears over $4,000 off
US.
Please convey to the city council
our assurances of esteem and say to
them that their proposition is not at
tractlve to my clients-and is d.
Clined.
l have ordered the works closed ard
hope by the time the assessor comes
around the next time to have nothing
Of value there to tax.
Yours respectfully,
L. F. WAKE, Attorney.
The letter was received by Mr..
Cheever this morning, at the time
Superintendent Espy received his
final orders to shut down the plant.
The report comes from a reliable
railway authority CHS afternoon thst
the Santa Fe railway will hitch up
its rolling stock Immediately after
the shut down and pull out for Win
fed, where they have been offered
desirable divisional facilities, in the
event the city does not take posses
sion of the waterwOrks plant and Op-
crate them. When Superintendent
Dolan was here this morning he did
not learn that the water company in
tended to shut the Santa Fe off, until
he was ready to board his special car
for Wichita. The report Of the de.
cided action of the Santa Fe is said TO
have come from Wichita since Super.
intendent DOlan reached his head
quarters.

Village Fire Protection.

In accordance with instruc tons
from the trustees the waterwor ks
were tested by the firemcn last Sat
urday afternoon in order to deter
mine what the village may depend
upon in case of emergency; that is,
supposing fire should break out at sew
eral points in the village at once.
Hose was attached to three hydrants
on the main, an S-inch pipe, and
when these three streams were play
ing 1t was found that no stream
strong enough to touch telephone
wire could be got from any of the
hydrants tested on the four-inch
pipes running from the main. Trial
was made at different places, on
Linden, Lincoln and South streets,
the first two being elevated parts of
the village. 1t will therefore be
necessary, the trustees say, to keep
the two hand engines belonging to
the fire department in readiness for
instant use in order to afford ade-
quate protection to streets not cover
ed Ey the water main. Enough water
can be got at any point to fill
these engines, SO notwithstanding
the result of Saturdays test the VII
lage may be considered well protect
ed from fire.

Commercials Is, High School Is.

The second ball game of the series
between the High Scdool and Com
mercials was fought to the bitter end
on the play ground last Thursday
afternoon. The first game played a
few days ago, which was won by
the High School, lett a wound in the
hearts of the Commercials which
could not be healed: they We're firm
" resolved to "do" the III. SIS or
break their bats in the effort.
The game started sharply at 4
O'Clock with Cox and Woodbury. IN
the points for the Commercials and
much talent scattered about the rest
of the field. This talent, though
dormant most of the time, still
awoke to the needs of the game at
frequent intervals, the luckless UNI
pirc being the chief mark at such
times.
The High School went at once to
business and IN the second inning
scored seven runs before being put
out. AT this point Mitchell APP
pearcd on the scene (of apparent
disaster to the Commercials and iov
to the High School and the small
boy) and with calm smile raped
out two-bagger. From this time
on tide seemed to turn in favor of
the Commercials. Woodbury. went
in to pitch and with Mitchell to hold
him the small boy had no show a
all. The climax came in the eighth
when the Commercials sized I'D
Fairbanks for numerous hits and
amid much bowling piled up eight
runs and led for the first time.
The school boys fought hard but
could not overcome the lead and the
game closed with the score IS to "a
in favor of Commercials. Partisan
feeling ran high and the small boy as
we'll as the players guyed the UNI
pire without mercy, Dick Clark's
vigorous "keep still, WILL yc" hav-
ing very little effect.
