AN INSPIRING INCIDENT.

The New York Sun says: "An in
spring incident occurred on Saturday
last at the football game between the
Annapolis and West Point cadets on
Franklin Field in Philadelphia. The
Annapolis players had been cheered
when they dashed upon the field and
they were tumbling about, awaiting
their rivals appearance, when the band
that had come with the sailor lads be-
gan to play the "Star spangled Ban
ner' AT once every cadet within
sound Of the music, whether sailor or
soldier, stood at attention and uncov-
cred, as he was bound to do by regu-
lation. Every other military man pres
ent obeyed the instincts Of his training
Immediately. Then all present follow
ed this example and the assemblage OF
nearly $4,000 persons stood in silence
and in the attitude OF respect until the
stirring sounds ceased. IL was an un.
usual feature Of great athletic con.

THAT MYSTERIOUS DRAIN
WATER COMMISSION WILL EN-

SOURCE.

WATER COMMISSION WILL EN-
DDAVOR TO LOCATE IT'S
SOURCE.
The source of the mysterious drain
nire recently located on Fifth street
between Market and King streets, is
causing much speculation on the part
OF the Street and Sewer Department
and the Water Commission.
The Street and Sewer Department
yesterday had worllmen engaged dig
ging up Fifth street in order to locate
the source of the drain, but they We're
unable 10 do so. 1t was finally decided
to connect it with private sewer on
East Fifth street, and the work Of dig
ging up the street for that purpose was
begun this morning.
President Simmons, Of the Street and
Sewer Department, however, ordered
the work stopped. as he does not think
the pipe should be connected until IL
was ascertained where it led from. He
is under the impression that 1t is a
drain from the old city railway turn
table, that was located at Fifth and
Market streets for use by the Whining
ton City Railway Company when it
used horse cars upon the streets. II
this be the case President Simmons is
under the impression that tN-sre must
be a leak IN a city water supply pipe on
Market street, caused by electRslysis or
other reasons, the water from which
has leaked into the old turn table The
water, which flows from the drain pipe
has the appearance of spring water.
The Water Commission has decided
to dig up Market street on the east side
above Fifth in order TO ascertain, If
possible where the pipe leads from.
Work will be commenced Monday.
