PUBLIC TEST.
Demonstration Of What New Water
Supply Will Do.

Interested persons had an opportunity
to sec the difference between the old water
service for use in case Of fro and the new
service. which will be put in use.in a
short time, at the public exhibition on
Exchange place at 2 o'clock this after
noon.
Ihe old service suffered in comparison
ana tho large number of persons who
were present could hardly believe that SO
much difference existed. The old service
threw stream which barely went M to
the eighth story Of the Industrial build
ing while the new service sent a stream
hose energy did not stop until it had
mounted 40 or 30 feet above the building
which is considered the highest in the
oity.
When the stroam was slanted il shot
over the roof with the greatest of ease,
demonstrating that the city has n water
supply equal TO all emergencies Tho
contrast between the old and the new
supply was almost ridiculous.
The test was made at tho corner of Ex-
change place and Exchanges street Two
chucks were sot. One at the new hydrant
at the corner and Gno icing part of the
old system.
Two Jumbos were used. That is, three
lines of hose were concentrated into one
and the water sent through two 21S-inch
hose and one line of the common hose
those three were sianesed into hose
with n 2-inch pipo so as to got the grent-
est possible pressure. The tcst was alike
at both hydrants. but the result was
vastly different. According to tho show
ing today water can be thrown in great
volume from tho street over tho tallest
structure In the city.
The perpendicular stream was about 155
feet. This is estimated py the distance
the water went over the Industrial build
ing which is Ia feet nigh.
There were three tests--ono through n
2-inch pipe one with 2iG.iuch pipe and
one with 3-inch plpe There was very
little differonce In either Of tbs streams.
Later in the afternoon thoro was a test
on Burgess square TO 500 what tie result
would be on the higher ground. 1t was
like the first exhibition, entirely satisfac-
tory

service it would be USED should OCCASION

BLOOD SHED.
First During the
Coal Strike.
Miners Attempt to March
on Plum Greek.
Two Bands Made Joint At
tack on Authorities.
Sheriff LOwry's Men Drive Back
the Mob.
Jacob Mott, Drummer In McDonald'S
Band, Injured.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1a The first bloodshed
during the present miners strike was that
Of Jacob Mott, drummer in the Me-
Donald band. The trouble occurred about
five o'clock this morning near Plum
Creek. A body Of marchers left camp
about 3 am, and divided into two squads,
one body of the marchers going to Center
schoolhouse and the other to the miners
houses The Center sqaad was headed by
the Mcdonald drum corps. Sheriff Lowry
reached Center at about a. IN. He drove
from Turtle Creek by way of Monroeville
and was met by Deputy Richards and q
number Of deputies. The marchers were
stopped and the sheriff read the injunc-
tion order made yesterday by the court
He then ordered the strikers to return
TO their camp. Tho men paid no atten-
tion TO the order for time and the drum
corps attempted TO lead the marchers past
the sheriff and mis- deputies. The deputies
closed up and moved forward headed by
the sheriff and the opposing forces came
together. No blow was struck and no
weapon drawn. But there was lively
scufile during which a horn In the hands
of one OF the band was pushed into Jacob
Motifs face and he was badly cut over the
right eye. Blood flowed in streams from
the cash and the sight OF the blood
checked the pushing men. The sheriff
again read the order OF the court and
ordered the crowd 10 disperse and appear
in court Saturday to make answer TO the
bill filed. The men again refused and
y loseph brown was particularly pro-
nounced in his opposition. He was
threatened with arrest and after consider
able argument during which he asserted
his right to be on the public road, tho
band again tried to force their way past
the sheriff and his deputies. The deputies
closed up again. More showing and push
ing followed
The deputies pushed ahead, until both
bodies were closely packed and it looked
as il serious trouble would follow. Sheriff
Lowry again ordered them to disperse and
threatened them with arrest.
After some hesitation the strikers moved
back. turned and marched TO camp. closely
followed by the sheriff. and hisldeputies.
It Is reported That the twenty nine mon
discharged from the Plum Creek mine are
TO be arrested for alleged breach of con-
tract.
About O'Clock this morning some OF
tho deputies doing duty at tho Plum
creek mines were called from Center
school TO disperse crowd OF Hungariaus
Mary Hans went to the camp and aroused
75 of the Hungarians to the point of ac-
companying her TO tho company houses
to do missionary work The motley
crowd got u good start before the news OF
the movement was conveyed to the DE
Armitt stables whence the warning was
sent to the deputies. After much charg-
ing the deputies managed TO catch up
with the crowd and disperse IL

There was meeting OF the state board
of agriculture at the State House this
morning, and the chief business done
was the consideration of the bill OF the
experimental station. Thebill AS allowed
was very materially reduced.
An item of $9e. so for chemicals was re-
duced To $50. The salaries Of Chmist II.
j. Wheeler. sll6.66; of B. l.. Hartwell.
first assistant chemist, sos. 33, and q. J..
Sargent, second assistant chemist,
amounting TO $50, were all disallow cd be-
cause the charges for salaries appeared
twice in the bill.
The expenses OF Chemist Wheeler for
trips to New York and New Haven were
not allowed, as the board had not ordered
him to attend the meeting. These bills
were oil in connection with the analysis
of fertilizers.
This has been taken away from the sta
tion now. The bill was presented first
last February and today about $500 was
taken off its S100 total.
The secretary was directed to demand
from the officers of the station the cor
resDoDence in regard to fertilizers,
which the officers of the station have
heretofore refused to give up The ex-
ecutive committee of the board was au-
thorized to audit bills monthly for the
chemist having charge Of this department.
