The Filtration Plant.
Some little time ago the TRIBUNE COM
mented upon the faulty construction of
the long conduit which held the pipe run
ming from the main sewer to the beds. At
that time several of the piles had sunk
several inches thereby throwing the
structure out Of plumb. 1t was claimed
by the TRIBUNE that in the near future
the conduit would have to be propped up,
otherwise 1t would eventually disappear
from sight. These statements created
quite an excitement at the time among the
citizens, and no little discontinue among
those who had charge of the construction
Of the same.
Notwithstanding the ridicule OF certain
people the statements have been verified
by tho developments of the past few days.
A gang Of men have been at work, under
the direction Of Civil Engineer Keene, re-
pairing and propping up the conduit. 1t
was given out that the recent burst In a
water main caused this, but 1t has been ap-
parent to the naked eye for many weeks
before this break occurred that the con-
duit was rapidly disappearing from view
in certain sections.

Remarkable Agility of Horse.
DR.. Howe OF Central street owns horse
which has earned the title of champion
high jumper of the Blackstone Valley.
Yesterday forenoon the doctor was calling
upon patient on High street, Valley

drop weight. 1t seems a cow in one OF the
neighboring pastures broke loose from
| its fastening and with part of the chain
changing, came down High street, the
people chasing the COW making an un-
earthly noise. This unlocked for commo-
tion was too much for the horse, and he
started down a side street, and with one
wild bound cleared a fence, carrying with
him the buggy. The only damage result
| ing being broken cross bar.
