Among those interviewed two or
three called attention to the fact that
the present pressure in the water mains
is insufficient. While n sufficient pres
sure may be had In the second story OF

that water cannot be secured on the
third or fourth story through the nv

Water Department. says this insuni-
cient pressure in high buildings Is caus-
ed by the waste of water. Through the
present water main a stronger pressure
cannot be had SO long as so much wa

This state OF affairs has caused the
suggestion of new and lnrper- main
or the doubling of mains between the

| of those interview stated that tf the
money proposed TO be spent for water
meters were spent toward putting in
another main. the city could have all

ing It's end are true. We say need
less conflict because it could easily
have been averted had the administra-
ton at Washington acted openly and
honestly with the Filipinos and met
them in spirit OF fairness as our allies
against the Spanish should have been
met. However we have the statement
OF Consul Williams and others that the
Filipinos will fight until exterminated.
We will doubtless soon know which
to believe.

UEGLAkS BIG HAUL.
A Postofice Robbed of Every Stanp-Ez-
press Office and Store Looted.

Special to the Register.
Huntington, w. Va, March 2S.-At
Lesages, a small village ten miles above
here, on the Ohio River railroad, bur-
glars made big haul last night. The
postoffice was entered and every stamp
in the Office, as we'll as several regis
tered letters, was stolen. The express
office was also entered and all pack
ages of any value were taken. The
general store of Frank Dickey was
robbed of large quantity of goods and
considerable money which had been
left in the money drawer over night.
The burglars are supposed to have
made their escape in skiff, as one was
stolen from the public landing.
The skiff was recovered near Catletts-
burg, KY, at noon to-day. The suppo-
sition is that these burglars are the
same who operated here Friday night
and at Guyandotte Saturday and Sun
day nights Officials in all towns
along the river have been notified and
every effort will be made to locate
them.

The rains of Monday night and yes
terday morning sadly crippled several
of the railroads running into Wheel
ing, and as a result some trains were
many hours late and others abandoned,
while mails were correspondingly de-
layed and passengers disconnected
The lines affected were the Ohio
River road, the "Pewiky," and the
Benwood and Moundsvilis electric
line.
The Ohio River had very bad slip
about a mile and half south of
Moundsville. Train No. /, south bound,
had to be held at Moundsville for a
number of hours, while train No. :,
also south bound, was Abandoned. Not
withstanding the fact that big force
OF men was set to work to clear the
track, it was late in the day before
trains could get through, and the bust
ness of the road was generally demon
allied. 1t was also reported in this
city that a bridge on this line south OF
Point Pleasant had been washed out
early in the morning, but the rumor
was not confirmed.
The trouble on the 'Pewiky" occur
red about seven miles north of this
city, just above Wilson's. The early
south-bound train got through all
right, but could not return, because Of
a big slip, and traffic was at a stand
still until about three o'clock in the
afternoon, when a train got through
to the city.
There was bad slip in the Narrows,
on the line of the Moundsville and
Benwood electric road, and it was nee
essary to transfer passengers for a
large portion of the day.
No trouble was reported on the
