Needed Corroboration.

'I think the chair will need corrobora- tion," interposed Mr. Bailey emphatically. "I again oppose my statement against that of the speaker.'
 The confusion ot this point was very great
 The voice of MT Smith (rep.) of Michigan, could be heard shouting above the tunult that he had been present and that no agreement had been made.
 'The chair is willing to rest the case on the statement made by him. declared the speaker as he beat the desk with his gavel an his atetmpt to restore order.
 MT. Bailey thereupon appealed from the decision of the chair and MT. Dalzell moved to lay the appeal on the table. The roll was called amid much confusion but party lines were unbrolSen and by a vote of 16S to 114 the appeal was laid on the table.
 The bill was then passed 15S to 95, and at 440 p. m. the house adjourned.

THE WATER QUESTION.
why There Was Not water, Water
Everywhere This Morning.


Some of the residents on the hill this
morning found themselves without water
for domestic purposes, and the reports
which began to fly around promiscuously
as to the length of time which would
elapse before it would again be turned
on caused quite a sensation. The truth
of the matter was that the workmen on
the mans had been com PEELED to cut the
pipe and put in temporary gate just
above Ninth street. which was the
cause.
Later in the morning it became neces-
sary to close the main gate at the
reservoir on account of difficulty with a
gate on the alley between Fifth and
Sixth streets, which leaked and pre-.
vented work on the pipes. 1t was in
tensely amusing to watch the proceed
ings for about an hour and a half over
the city, as, armed with kettle of boil
ing water, and with blood also boiling
for fear. of plumbers bill. one after
another started to thaw out the pipes
at the same time circulating, "Didn't
tell you to let this water run? Now it's
trozenW But in vain did the hot water
fall on its back, for the streams had as
little effect as water on ducks back.
Inquiry has developed the fact that
the water on Union, between Seventh
and Tenth will be shut off for three
days, when the cup of cold water will
have. to be borrowed from neighbor
Those above Ninth will be supplied from
the large reservoir by mains extending

tween Ninth and Tenth, while all below
Seventh will get their supply from the
small reservoir.
Arrangements have been go made that
at no time will the city be without
water, unless it might be for a very
short time on account of some unfor-
seen cause. The contractor is doing his
best in the matter and we should not
complain if we are einconvenienced slight
ly, when we remember that it is un-
avoidable and the great good that will
come to the city by the renewed supply.
1t was most interesting this morning
to watch the work as it progressed on
Union street, where here and there were
seen fires built along the trenches in
order to melt the lead so that the old
pipes might be removed and the new
ones put in, three of which it requires
four horses to haul.

therefore, that the practice of selling
Oregon prunes as California prunes is
not as general as has been supposed, or
perhaps as general as it once was. Large
quantities of these prunes have gone to
the Eastern states this year, and even
in Europe, and the expectation is that
these preliminary sales may form the be-

To Remove From Ell paso.

While the reporter was on his rounds
this morning he learned that Messrs,
Silberberg Bros intend going out of
business, SO he called on them and ask
ed about it. Robert Silberberg said,
"Yes, we are going to close out our
business here in Ell Psso; and are going
to move to Mexico City and open up q
ticket brokerage Office there. as we
think that we can better ourselves
there, and the field is larger for US to
work in.'
Mr.. Silberberg stated further that
they had been in business here in Ell
Paso for seventeen years, and that it
was hard to leave after having seen
the town grow up to fine city. They
have great many friends here, but
it is purely q matter of business that
lmpels them to make the change.
Many of our readers will regret to
see these two young business men
leave Ell Paso, but the best wishes for
their success will follow them to their
new field.

A PARCEL OF Thieves.
Good Work by the Police.

Yesterday about noon Chief Lock
hart Gagged the first bird in what he
believes to be one of the best organ
lied thieving gangs in this section of
the country. AS the story goes, the
police force in this city have for the
past six weeks been looking for the
men who were selling stolen property
in the city, and the guilty ones were
run down by having sold four silk win
dow curtains to Mrs Duer, proprietor
of the Grand Central.
The mau caught gave his name as
Herman Heidelberg. He halls from
New Mexico, and when the curtains
were found to have been stolen in New
Mexico, they were advertised there
Mrs. Clark of Deming recognized
them as hers by the published descrip-
ton. They had been stolen about two
months ago. On q letter from Chief
Lockhsrt che came down to see if she
could identify the prisoner.
Mrs. Clark said that Heidelberg was
not staying at her house at the time of
the robbery, but that the second man
whom the chief had arrested, Ed. An
drews, had stayed there, and when he
was at her house there was another
man with him who claimed to be q
Catholic priest. The latter had all
the vestments that q priest usually
has. SO of course she didn't suspect
anything wrong, nor did she until af-
cleaning and when she went to put the
curtains up they were missing.
The HERALD reporter called on
Messrs. Heidelberg and Andrews, who
are laneuishing in the city Jail, but
Jailer Blacker had instructions not to
let any one talk to the prisoners.
The reporter, by talking to some of
the two mems associates in town, finds
out that Heidelberg says he is inno-
cent and that Andrews is the man,
while sAndrews says that he knows
and sticks to that story.
Heidelberg has been in Ell Paso for
only about ten days; as soon as he came
he began to look for work and finally
found employment as a waiter in
Smiths creamery. That was on last
Friday week ago, and on last Tuesday
chief Lockhart located his man and
arrested him.
On tn hearing before the recorder
Heidelberg stated some facts that
were wanted, after he was turned
loose, and went back to work, only be.
ing gone about an hour. His state
ment to Mr.. Taylor, the proprietor of
the Creamery. was that he was the
wrong man.
On Friday night he quit work, say
Ing he WAS going to work somewhere
else. but it turns out that he didn't, but
only loafed around town.
Chief Lockhart was looking for the
sheriff to come down from Demine TO-
day, and he will turn the two men over
to him. to take back to Deming with
him. The third man has never been
caught, but the chief hopes to have
him in with his comrades very soop
