prospecting army to the gold nugget ciety.
The news 0. the disaster was brought to
ne headquarters OF the Alaska CONNER
c,aI Company by Indians who found the

the name OF tne steamer or barge.
The Columbia Exploration party was
QUILTED in this city by Richard Chilcott,

experience Oh the water. Capt. Murphy, of
Bowling Green. Ky. got his iicense sfser
coming TO the Coast. The engineer had
formerly ran locomotive In the South

remainder OF the party was. for the most
part. composed OF young married men OF
weii-to-do Southern families, who had been
provided with plenty Of money TO enter
into the expedition were Seattle men
picked up in this city. Capt. Chiicott be-
neves that the Jessie Is still above water
and that her passengers are safe. He does
not attempt to explain the finding bf the
raft with no one On il, but will not give
up hope until he has received more del-
mite Information.

Emma LaVelle and Off, cer Murphy Welded.
A ROMANTIC DENCUEMENT I
OUTCOME OF AN ATTACHMENT
 OF LONG STANDING.
The Nasty Marriage Came as a Sur prise to the Members of the Contracting Parties
 Families.

Then fly betimes, for only they con- quer love that run away" is the song Police Officer Michael Murphy sang so sweetly to pretty Emma Lavelle that she left the home of her parents last Friday secretly, and linked her name and for tunes with those of the stalWart guar dian of the peace.
 The attachment was one of long stand ing, and, while the sudden denouement was a severe shock to the family of the groom, it created more indignation than surprise in the home of the bride The young couple met for the first time some three years since. the officer being on duty in the vicinity of Miss Lavelle's home, 2923 Pine street. Since that time he has been as devoted to her as a cav alier Of old. According to the girls mo- ther hardly a day passed that they did not meet.
 Mrs. Lavelle accepts the situation phil
 "1 have been expecting something of this kind for a long time,' she said yes terday. 'They met for the first time some three years ago, and he has paid my daughter most marked attention since that time. She never conf1ded in me a s to any formal engagement that existed prise when she told me on Saturday morning that she was married and was going to Sacramento on her honeymoon. The first suspicion l had that matters were nearing a climax was when l, some days since, taxed Emma with knowl- edge regarding the disappearance of Mikes photograph-we always called him 'Mike'-from our family album. She finally acknowledged that she had sent It to be copied so that she could wear 1t in miniature as a brooch for her neck
 She was away all day Friday and l have reason to believe that they went across the bay and were married. She left the house on Saturday morning after giving me the information that she was married. This is the first of my seven children to leave me and 1 feel lonesome without her. The couple are very much attached to one another and l hope they will be happy.
 It is apparent that a reconciliation be- tween mother and daughter and son-in- law Mike" can be readily effected by the use of a little diplomacy.
 Not so In the Murphy home
 The fact of the marriage was not so graciously accepted there. The son was a contributor to the support of the fam fly. The withdrawal of this is felt in any instance and doubly so in the ranks of the lowly. The members of the family pleaded ignorance yesterday of the step taken by the son of the house, but in a r. half-hearted manner, as though an op- portunity was sought to gain time for consideration of the matter. They .af- frmed that they had no knowledge of Mir Murphy's movements:other than that he was away on his annual vacation. The i groom Is about 30 years of age and the bride was q in May last.

V ATER FAMINE
 IS NOW OVER The Call Forces the Ala meda Company to
 Terms.
A SUPPLY SOON AVAILABLE
IRRIGATION WILL NO LONGER
 BE PREVENTED.
An Oakland Company Agrees to Sup ply the Liquid Which Will En- able Berkeley Residents to
 Water Their Lawns.

BERKELEY, Aug. 1.-For all intents and purposes the water famine, which has sent nearly every lawn and garden in Berkeley to waste, is practically over. Within two weeks, or at the most three, the town will be receiving a daily supply of POO 900 gallons, which will amply suffice for sprinkling the streets, flushing the sewers, and for turning all the withered grass and shrubberey into their former state of verdure. The appearance of drought. which has seriously affected sanitary conditions and brought real estate interests to standstill, will quick fly vanish. and the town. regain it's usual look of prosperity and freshness.
 Public sentiment aroused by The Call, and the prospect of losing all its patrons when the new municipal system is ef- fected. has at last forced the Alameda Water Company to come to terms. When a famine seemed imminent two months ago, Berkeley residents wondered why a sufficient quantity of water could not be purchased from either the Contra Costa or Oakland company to make up the deficiency. Superintendent Hall of the local company denied that such course would be possible, and at once proceeded to prohibit irrigation of any kind: A committee of investigation, appointed by the Board of Trustees, discovered, how ever, that Superintendent Hall was mis- taken, and obtained written notices from both Oakland companies saying that they were willing and able to furnish any amount of water necessary.
 In the face of this the Alameda com pany was forced to take action of some kind. They opened negotiations with the Contra Costa company, which resulted in a contract being concluded to-day This contract, signed by c. A. Grove and Henry Pierce, provides that Berkeley shall receive 200 900 gallons daily. from the Contra Costa mains, to be taken from the pipes at the corner of Ashley and l Telegraph avenues.
 In an interview with a Call representa- tive to-day Superintendent Hall gave two weeks as the time it will take to effect the plans proposed. He said that Berke- ley would now have all the water neces- sary, provided only that the Contra Cos ta company abided by its agreement When asked how irrigation would. be af- fected he replied that the notice sent out some two months ago forbidding the use of water for any but sanitary and house hold purposes would be withdrawn and that no restriction would be placed upon the consumption in any way whatever The news that Berkeley would soon be relieved from any anxiety, ever the water question was received with much satiS- faction by all the residents in town.
