that he knew WEIGH was reputed to

done everything possible toward the

KNOCKED DOWN BY THE CARS
John Erwin, a Grader, Injured at iowa
Avenue Crossinu,


John Erwin, a grader employed on
railroad work between Fairfield and
Krum, was knocked down by a car
near the Iowa avenue crossing last ev-
ening about z o'clock Mr.. Erwin was
standing near the Burlington tracks
when an approaching switch engine
showing box car came up. Erwin
was too close to the track and as a
result was knocked down and severe
ly bruised. He was but semiconscious
when assistance reached him and
could not even tell his own name nor
how the accident occurred. DR., G. R.
Russell was summoned and ordered
the man removed to the hospital.
There an examination of his injuries
revealed that he was not seriously
hurt, and this evening he will return
to Fairfield. Erwin admitted that he
had been drinking some but said he
was not drunk. His mind returned to
him this morning when he told his
name and gave his residence as Ash
land, North Carolina.

Result of Investigations Being Made
by John Brady, City Engineer.

John Brady, city engineer.is engaged
in making number of borings with a
view of ascertaining the available wat
er supply for the new city water works,
should the city determine to construct
the same. The prospecting is being
done between the river and the Bur-
lington tracks west of the city, and
will probably be extended to the four
mile bridge. Water was found at
depths ranging from ten to fourteen
feet 1t is clear and cold and if it
can be secured in sufficient quantities
will make an excellent water for the
city supply. 1t lies beneath layer of
loan from two to six feet thick; then
a layer of sand and gravel from one
and one-half to five feet thick and a
two or three foot vein of dry sand.
The water is found in quick sand and
is filtered perfectly. Another week
will probably be expended in the work
of prospecting.

READY To LEAVE
CHAFEE AND CoNGER FREE TO
LEAVE PEKIN.
CONGER WILL GO TO SHANGHAI
Army Prepared to Stay All Winter,
or Move at a Days
Notice.

New York, Sept. 10.-A special to the
tribune from Washington says: Unless
Minister Conger, in reply to questions
sent BY cable to him nearly a week ago
by direction OF the president, gives bet
ter reasons than are now conceived here
for his continuance at Pekin, he will be
instructed to remove the American le-
cation without delay to Shanghai Cen
eral Chaffee's troops will escort the min
lister and legation to TAX and Admiral
Remey will take them on the Brooklyn
to the Chinese metropolis, making that
port the meeting place for his fleet. The
main American military force will prob
ably not remain on Chinese territory af-
ter October l, n it's withdrawal from
Pekln may be a matter of less than ten
days.
General Chaffee has already Informed
the wal department of his readiness to
leave Pekin at a days notice, while he is
fully prepared, If necessary, to remain
all winter. The last instructions on the
subject were sent to him just two weeks
ago, when three days before the pre-
sentation of the Russian note, he was
informed that transportation range
ments would be made to bring away his
troops, their mission having been &C
cOmplished, and he was to make such
dispositions as would facilitate prompt
withdrawal and to inform the depart
ment as to the length of time he should
require between the receipt of orders and
embarking at Taku. Although not yet
officially admitted, sufficient marine
transportation for the entire force is now
under orders to assemble at Taku by
September 20, and at least two steamers
will be at the mouth of the Pei Ho to re-
ceive the first troops on neXt Saturday.
1t is not interpreted by the authorities
that Minister Conger will present any
resolutions to affect the disposition of
this government to have him leave Pekin
temporarily and to remove the troops
from Chinese soil. No conceivable adj
vantage occurs to the presidents advices
of maintaining the legation in a city
where are no imperial officials with
whom negotiations can be conducted,
and where it is hardly likely there will
be any improvement in this respect for
many months. while at Shanghai there is
constant intercourse with the rulers of
four-ffths o fthe empire. Inc perfect Sc
curity of person and property.
AS to the further maintenance of Gen
eral Chaffee's forces in Pc Chi Lii, the
authorities here are now satisfied that
nothing whatever is to be gained and
much perhaps to be risked or lost
1t is agreed hat the purpose for which
the troops We're landed has been fully ac-
cOmplished. These were stated in the
Hay circular to the powers.
