WATER SUPPLY
PICKED OUT
The Town Council holds q Spec.
iaI Meeting
TO RATIFY AN AGREEMENT

A special meeting of the town
trustees was held last night at the
council chambers at the town hall,
for the purpose of ratifying prop
osition submitted by Hydraulic
Engineer Hiram Phillips to the
water committee of the town coun-
Gil on Tuesday, The proposition
is as follows:
THAT he (Hiram Phillpis) take
all the Typographical notes, draw
plans and specifications complete
in detail, even to all joints in town
and outside, plans to be in shape
to take contracts from, for which
the town was to pay him the sum
of 81 800, the plans and specifica-
tions to be the property of the
town. In case the town proceeds
to build the water works, to pay
him an additional sum of $1,000,
for which sum he is to remain on
the ground during the entire con-
struction of the system and to act
as general supervisor, and to final
ly accept the plant from the con-
tractors and to turn it over to the
town in perfect condition"
This proposition il lower, all
things considered, than any other
one received as yet by the council,
and was adopted.
Tho following estimate of the
water supply Of Newland creek il
also of interest. Saying there are
20 square miles Of territory drain
ed by Newland creek and its trib-
utaries-this is an extremely low
estimate-and giving the average
rain and snow fall for an entire
year at 36 inches, this would give
over twelve thousand million gal
Ions of water annually. Allowing
80 per cent for evaporation would
still leave over six thousand mil
lion gallons of water. This is more
than 35 times the amount necessary
to furnish the town. By system
of reservoirs, of sufficient capacity
to furnish the town with water for
six months, Mr.. Phillips is conf
dent that sufficient water supply
can be gotten from that creek.
Mayor Mcclure has been in cor
respondence with. many of the
prominent business men of st.
Louis, and also with the officers of
towns and companies by whom Mr..
Phillips has been employed, and
in every instance has received re-
plies to the effect that he is man
of sterling integrity, a competent
engineer, and man who always
does his work we'll.

The Island of Porto Rico.

The island of Porto Rico is one OF
the richest of SPANS colonies. It's
name means in English, "Rich port"
1t is trihe smaller than Jamaica, be-
ing the fourth in size of the Antilles,
but the fertility of its soil and the sa-
lubrity of its climate have led to its
being given the name of 1.-The gem of
the Antilles" 1t lies to the east of
Haytl, A range of mountains runs
through the islands from east to west.
In the interior are healthful and extern
sive uplands, and along the coasts are
tracts of fertile land. Nearby the
whole of the north coast is lined with
navigable lagoons, some of them ten
miles long. There are also numerous
bays, creeks and rivers, which are navi-
gable; but the north shore is subject
to tremendous ground seas which beat
against the cliffs with great violence.
Only three halbors are safe-Guanica
and Hovas on the south shore and San
Juan on the north. There are no SER
penis or reptiles on the island. 1t is
wholly an agricultural island, produc
ing sugar, rum, molasses, coffee cotton,
tobacco live stock, timber, rice etc.
San Juan de Porto Rico, the princi-
pal city and seaport of the island of
Porto Rico, capital of the colony, and
of the Province of Bayamon, situated
on a narrow peninsula off the north
coast, is connected with Cayuas, an is

AN AMATEUR PIRATE.
Major stede Bonnet Turned from Farm
ing to Freebooting.


In the st. Nicholas Mr.. Frank r.
Stockton continues his sketches of
THE Buccaneers of our Coast" with
an account of Blackboard" and Stede
Bonnet, two famous pirates. Concern
ing the latter Mr.. Stockton says: Early
in the eighteenth century there lived
in Bridgetown, in the island of Barba-
dos, a very pleasant, middle aged gem
tleman named Major Stede Bonnet. He
was a man in comfortable c.rcum-
stances, and had been an officer in the
British army. He had retired from
military service, and had bought an
estate at Bridgetown, where he lived
in comfort and was respected by his
neighbors. But for some reason or
other this quiet and reputable gentle
man got it into his head that he should
like to be pirate. But besides the
general reasons why Major Bonnet
should not become a pirate, and which
applied to all men as well as to him
self, there was special reason against
his adoption of the profession of a sea-
robber-he was an out-and-out lands
man and knew nothing whatever of
nautical affairs. He was fond OF his
tory and well read in the literature of
the day. He was accustomed to the
habits of good society and knew a
good deal about farming and horses
and cows and poultry, But notwith-
standing his absolute unfitness for
such life, Major Bonnet was deter
mined to become pirate, and he be-
came one. He had money to buy a
ship and to fit her out and man her,
and this he quietly did at Bridgetown,
nobody supposing that he was going
to do anything more than start off on
some commercial cruise. When every.
thing was ready his vessel slipped out
of the harbor one night, and after he
was sailing upon the rolling sea he
stood upon the quarter deck and pro-
claimed himself pirate. He ran up
the black flag, girded on great cut
lass, and folding his arms he ordered
his mate to steer the vessel to the
coast of Virginia. Bonnet's men were
practiced seamen, and so when this
green hand" came into the waters of
Virginia he actually took two or three
vessels and robbed them of their car
goes, burning the ships and sending
the crews ashore. This had grown to
be a common custom among the pir-
ates, who though cruel and hard
hearted, had not the inducements of
the old buccaneers to torture and muir
der the crews of the vessels which they
captured. 1t was called Narrowing"
and was somewhat less heartless than
the old methods. AS Bonnet wished
to adopt the customs OF the society in
which he placed himself, when he
found himself too far from land to put
the captured crew on shore he did not
hesitate to make them walk the plank,
favorite device of pirates whenever
they had no convenient way of dispos-
ing of their prisoners. In one branch
of his new profession Bonnet rapidly
advanced. He soon became a greedy
robber and cruel conqueror He cap
tured merchant vessels all along the
coast as far north as New England.
