business until 1861, when he enlisted
in Capt. Cams company and joined
his fortunes with the confederacy. He
was wounded at the siege Of Vicks-
burg, but continued to serve the ''los,

ter which he stopped in Kentucky on
his way to Missouri. For awhile he
was in the employ o. the old North

Mr.. Fred Kinkhorst, who lived on
his brother LoQis' tarm, sold his cattle
and hogs, a part OF his household
goods. and during the first week in
January disappeared without making
known his intentions to friends or
relatives, says the Brunswick Meas.
He left his team and poultry Oh tn.

became apparent to MIR. Louis Kink-
horst. he at once made inqmcies, and
found his brother had bought a ticket
for St Louis on January 9TH, and left

knows nothing of his whereabouts.
From remarks made by Fred several
months ago, his friends believe he has
sailed for his old home in Germany.
Although his relati, es have eudeayored
to make life pleasant for him, he be-
came morose and avoided speaking to
them They expect to hear in a short
time that the missing man has arrived
at his native town in Germany.

Caramelli, the Caterer, Died at

Yesterday.
Close of an Eventful Career in the

Carameili only CaramelIi - the
prince Of chefs and caterers, passed peace
fully away yesterday morning at the Ger

he has been there, being treated for fatty

his death was unexpected.

A TUNNEL TO THE SEA.

Engineer Schussier Has Finished the
Great Merced Conduit.
One of the most beautiful and valuable
pieces of engineering ever constructed In
San Francisco or vicinity has just been
finished at Lake Merced. 1t is a tunne
300 feet long, running from the noun
tains west of the south branch of the lake
70 the ocean. This tunnel is approached
by a canal $500 feet long, which conducts
the surface waters from the entire water
shed to the tunnel proper.
The effect of the entire piece of engi-
neering. together with a sluIcsway seven
miles long, running from Colma, is to
convey all impure water into the ocean,
thereby preventing the possibility of con-
taminating that part of the cIty's water
supply that comes from the beautiful
lake.
The canal is a fine piece OF engineering.
but the tunnel to the ocean is marvellous
work. After the workmen had blasted
several hundred feet into the hills they
came upon a bed of dangerous qulcksands.
Ih1s delayed the Work for some time, but
Engineer Schussler decided on a plan
that got rid of the nuisance and gave him
several hundred thousand gallons OF water
daily as well. He went to the top of the
mountain and bored hole into the tun-
mel, From this the water was pumped
out and the tunnel was then pushed
through the quicksands.
By an ingenious system of hydrostatic
pressure the pure springs under the bigh
hills we're forced into a minor tunnel
which runs up hill TO the lake. Thus
through one great conduit the odd sight
Is beheld OF impure waters running to the
ocean, while a stream of cold water from
crystal springs passes the sewage far
under the hill, rushing in defiance of the
law OF gravity to add lis contr1 button of a
third OF million gallons of water daily TO
the lake.
1t is the plan of the company to defer
using this water for a year or two. The
capacity OF the lake is 2 500 900, 900 gallons
daily, but the company is letting all the
old water filter away while the process of
outstanding the pure supply goes on.
The Potrero Heights reservoir is now
well under way, and it is believed that the
residents OF that part of the city will be
July supplied from the new source by the
first OF the year. The reservoir will hold
weeks supply, and will be a sple ndid
piece of engineering.
