Water Scarce.

While there is absolutely no danger
of a water famine the users of city
water must be careful how they draw
upon the'city's reservoir. All waste
of water must cease.
The wells of the water depart
ment. usually entirely sufficient for
the city's needs, are now greatly de-
pleted and the reservoir is twelve
feet below the head, so that there is
no force to get water to the high
points about the city where it should
be strong. This is due to the con-
tinued draught, and the failure of
replenishing the springs from where
comes the city's supply.
Supt. Woodruff is taking every pos
sible prec aution to restrain the users
of water from wasting the supply.
This morning he stopped the street
sprinklers from taking water from
the plugs and the water department
to-day in public advertisement, re.
stricts street sprinkling and the wat
ering of lawns. Save the water in
case of fire, is the warning.
Supt. Woodruff says there is no oc-
casion for alarm. There would be
ample supply from the wonderful
springs ii the wells were sunk an
other twelve feet. When it is re-
membered that the wells at present
are but twelve feet deep. the supply
is remarkable.

4 VERY SUDDEN DEATH,
Joseph Riley DISCOVERS the Corps and
Takes Charge of the Body.

Down at Cedarville Friday there
was startling sudden death. Agrip-
pa Stevens, man of fifty-seven
years, dying in his wagon along the
roadway.
Stevens lived with his wife upon a
little farm and yesterday drove to
the Cedarville station with load of
onions, which he unloaded, and was
apparently as well as ever, strong and
vigorous. Taking some empty bask-
cts from the station, he put them in
his wagon, and getting in the vehicle
himself, started to drive off.
When near Cedarville proper Stew
ems team was met by Jospeh Riley,
and he hailed Mr.. Stevens, but did
not receive any reply. Riley noticed
that Stevens head was hanging over
the seat, and suspicioning something
wrong seized the horse by the head
and brought it to a stand still.
Riley got in the wagon, called to
John Candy who was nearby and to-
gether they drove to the Office of DIR.
Glanden, who happened to be in.
DR.. Glanden pronounced the gentle
man dead, 'and fan examination
showed that appoplexy was the cause
of DEATH
Agrippa Stevens was the son of
Joseph Stevens, who came to this
country when thirty years of age.
The deceased leaves a widow but no
children. He was in every way a
most estimablescitizen and entirely
honest in his dealings.

EOOIhardy Trick
stomach

A young fellow at Tumbling Dam
Park Monday came nearly meeting
with a serious injury because of his
foolhardy attempt to coast down a
steep hill on his bicycle. The hill
beside the steps that lead from the
upper grove to the lower pavilion, is
a sharp incline, and nobody would
attempt to ride down it on a bicycle
who was possessed of an atom of
common sense. Evidently this young
fellow thought he was very clever on
a wheel, for he started down the hill.
The peddalS were soon beyond his
control, and the machine sped down
the hill like the wind. The front
wheel struck the platform of the
lower pavilion with great force,
breaking the wheel. The young man
was thrown from the bicycle, badly
bruised and skinned up, but not
seriously hurt, fortunately.

Sumed.

The Steen Edwards will case was
resumed in the Cumberland Orphans
Court Thursday.

were very few spectators present to
listen to the case. Four witnesses
were called to the stand in the morn
ing and their testimony showed that
for number of years previous to his
death, Mr.. Edwards was not capable
of making will.
With the ending of the morning
session Judge PancoastS, side rested.
Attorney James s. Ware. counsel
for Theodore Edwards, said that he
had no witnesses subpoenaed for yes
terday, but that if the Judge wished
the case to go on he could put Mr..
Edwards himself on the stand. This
was done.
Mr.. Edwards said that he had al
ways known his father to be a pecu-
liar man. He said that his father
had always had very peculiar habits,
although he had become more so in
the last few years pefore his death.
Mr.. Edwards----explained how his
father had come to give up his part
nership in the firm and how his place
had been taken by Adolph Edwards.
The case has been postponed until
next Tuesday, July II.

Makes It Inconyenient.

People begin to find out what a
great accommodation the baggage car
service between this city and Mill
vile is, when they lose it. Owing to
repairs upon the pike tracks, the
baggage car is off now and all freight
is refused. Milk dealers, meat deal
ers, ice cream manufacturers and a
whole lot of other people find that
it is almost impossible to get along
without the car. 1t will soon be on.

While much doubt is being cast on

While much doubt is being cast on
the reported richness of the Cape
Nome gold region, the Klondike
continues to keep up its reputation.
The latest news from it's mines is
that nugget valued at S135, 900 is
now on its way to New York. Mug
gets are found in placer mining.
They are Jumps which have been
torn, in some manner, from the
mother veins in the rocks. When
they are so large as the one reported,
they are evidence that the vein is
very rich and carries large amount
OF virgin gold, which, in turn, is
evidence of highly profitable min
ing.

NINTH WARD REPUBLICANS.
A Big Club Organized with Attendant
EnthuSfa

III any one should say that there is
apathy and lack of political interest and
enthusiasm in the Ninth ward, last nights
meeting for the purpose of organizing the
Ninth Ward Republican Club would dis
prove the assertion. a large number of
the voters OF that ward assembled in Nc
Farlands stable at the corner of Shelby
and Cedar streets and organized club that
for spirit and energy promises to be one OF
the best Republican organizations in the
city \ drum corps from the Nordyke &
Marmon factory was present and con-
tributed TO the true campaign-like aspect
of the occasion. The speakers present for
the occasion were Martin Hugg Eugene
Saulcy and Mr.. Langstaff. The latter until
four years ago had been a lifelong Demo-
crat we'll known 10 the voters of the Ninth
ward and an active worker for that party.
Mr. Hugg made a vigorous defense OF the
policy OF the present administration and
devoted considerable portion OF his speech
TO city and county affairs, and referred in
scathing terms TO the - cent levy, the
Riverside Park purchase, and other items
OF interest TO voters and taxpayers. He
made strong appeal in behalf OF the can
didacy of Eugene Saulcy, referring TO his
record as an earnest and constant worker
In the party. and as a man whom every
voter in the Ninth ward should support. In
Mr.. SaulcyS behalf, he made the state
ment that between 81 and 40 per cent of
the men carried on the pay rolls while
Saulcy was county assessor were old sol
dierS.
Mr.. Langstaff made strong personal ap-
peal 10 the workingmen. He pointed out
that when men were idle and hungry and
children starving the Republican party had
promised TO give them work. and IL had
kept its promise. He compared the records
OF Jesse Overstreet and Frank Il. Burke
greatly TO the credit OF the former. The
addresses were listened 10 with the closest

WARRANT OUT FOR DAY
HE WAS TIMEkEEPER FOR COURT
HOUSE CONTRACTORS.
The Concern Accuses Him of EN-
bezzling S391-Young Day
Has Disappeared.

James Anthony yesterday swore out a
warrant for the arrest of Clifford Day, who
was timekeeper for James Mcwilliams &
Co., Of Louisville, who are doing the plumb
ing and electrical work at the courthouse.
The warrant charges embezzlement of 1891.
The police and detectives are now looking
for Day. but it was said last night he had
probably left the city.
Anthony, member of the Louisville firm
said the money was given to Day about
1:30 O'Clock yesterday afternoon for the
purpose Of paying of men employed there
on the work. The practice has been to pay
off about o'clock, when the days work
has ended. No one thought of anything be-
ing wrong until the time for payment of
wages arrived. Then ii was found that
Day was not there and it was remembered
he had not been during the afternoon. An
thony then learned of his absence and be-
ing unable to find him swore out the war
rant.
Day is son-in-law Of County Commits
sioner Greer, and is the man whom Bruce

at the instance of the Louisville firm for

In court for trial. STROBE, ii is said, pub
licly announced his intention of leaving the
city.
Day attempted suicide, or took an over
dose of morphine, some weeks ago, and it
was charged by Strobe that he did IL be-
cause of the irregularities in his accounts
with the firm, having been the timekeeper
from the beginning of the work at the
courthouse.

TO Negro Disfranchisement.

The members of the Washington Club,
colored political organization, held a
rally at the African Methodist Church. in
Haughville, last night, which was attend
ed by an enthusiastic audience. The speak
er of the evening, ]. X. Shelton, was late
in arriving, but the time was profitably
taken up with the impromptu remarks of
the members of the club. who were eager
TO express their sentiments on the issues
of the campaign. When Mr.. Shelton.
rived he aoplogized for being late, and
began speaking at once. He said that the
main issue for the negroes TO consider in
this campaign is that of their civil liberty,
which Is being continually menaced by
the Democratic party I'VE have no time
said he, Ito waste with the issues of i'm
perialism and free silver. There are things
OF graver import. The recent disfranchse-
ment of our brothers in the South by the
Democrats should cause us TO put forth
our best efforts in behalf OF the party
which has ever befriended u.s.
In conclusion. Mr.. Shelton urged every
man to do his duty by himself and by
his country, by casting his vote for McKin-
ley.
The Washington club will have a large
outdoor rally in Haughville next Monday
night, and have invited several prominent
speakers to be present
