GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE OREGON.

Structural Strength Intact-Captain
Wilde's Report After Docking.
Washington, July 27-The navy de-
partment this morning received the fol-
lowing cable dispatch from Captain
Wilde, commander of the Oregon:
"Kure, July 26,
Secretary Navy, Washington:
Ship locked Structural strength
intact Wilde"
While this dispatch omts details of
the injury received by the Oregon in
running on rock in the Gulf of Pc
Chilli, Captain Wilde is known to
have supplied some of these details
They indicate that, although the struc-
tural strength of the great battleship
is still intact her injuries were of an
ugly character. None of the longi-
tudinal frames were injured, but the
vessels bottom was badly torn, and
some of her pumping connection were
broken. The main injury sustained
were to compartment A, as it is tech
nically known. Captain Wilde, in his
cable message of several days ago, es-
timated that it would require a few
weeks to make temporary repairs, and
a. iVa9I loul iiuiitfiS " complete per-
manent repairs. This, statement in it.
self shows that the injuries sustained
by the Oregon were more serious than
was at first supposed.
When the Oregon reached Kure the
navy department authorized Captain
Wilde to patch her up with temporary
repairs, in order that she might return
to the Chinese coast for service. These
orders will stand unless after full con-
sideration of the character of the Ore
CONS injuries by the bureaus chiefs
at Washington it is decided to proceed
Immediately with the necessary per-
manent repairs, and keep the vessel in
dock for the next four months.

ROAD ROLLER DISAPPEARED.
Sank Into an Old Reservoir on Hamil
ton Street Yesterday Morning.

Sank Into an Old Reservoir on Hamil-
ton Street Yesterday Morning.
While trundlng along through Ham
ilton street near Grand avenue shortly
after o'clock yesterday morning the
city's big road roller suddenly per-
formed a presto change act that would
bring envy to the heart of any pres
tidigator. The big machine was being
backed up by Engineer Barrett, who
was in charge, when crash it went
down through the surface Of the street
and nearly disappeared from sight En-
gineer Barrett thought that the bottom
had dropped out Of everything. He
didn't know where he was at except
he knew that he was standing in water
up to his chin. The rapid transition
from riding along on his traction engine
to immersion in five feet of cold water
with no forewarning may be better
imagined than described.
Patroman Schamp was standing on
the curb when the roller sank below
the surface of the street and he could
hardly believe his eyes when he saw 1t
sink down into the ground until the
awning which covered the engine was
level with the surface.
A large crowd was soon attracted to
the scene and one Of those who ran up
to see what was the matter picked up
a barber pole which lay near by and
4 inf 6a of
pit in which the engine lay. Engineer
Barrett climbed up the pole to terra
firma soaked with dirty water He
was sent home and it is thought that
he will be none the worse for his ex-
perience.
The pit into which the big roller fell
is one of the old water reservoirs used
to supply fire engines in the days be-
fore the present water system was in
augurated Over the reservoir was an
arched roof and over this roof was the
earth and pavement of the street. The
roller weighs fifteen tons and its great
weight was too much for the reservoir
covering to stand.
Soon after the roller sank into the
reservoir gang of men was set to work
to get it out. The old reserve No.
steamer pumped the water from the
reservoir and then the workmen dug
down the edges of the hole in the
street in order to get at the roller. A
heavy derrick will be needed to lift the
huge machine out
There are number Of these old reser-
voirs about the city, they being located
as follows: Nearly opposite city hall,
Chapel street near Brewery corner
Wooster and East street, corner Green
and East streets, corner st. John and
Hamilton streets, st. John near Wal
lace street, corner Elm and State
Streets Olive near Union street, corner
George and Orange streets, Congress
avenue near George street, Church
street near Crown, Orange street near
Trumbull street.

sleep regg'as Nc remedy equals in an
respects. 2erura. for thic purpose A
dose of Feruna before each meal dur.
ing the hot season IS a safeguard or
