STANDING of CLUBS.

When the team arrived home from
Dayton yesterday morning, first base
man Thomas Turner was relieved Of
the management of the club and Pop"
Lyle substituted. Turner's duties
were doubtless too exacting, as he had
!. too much to attend to. A better selec-
ton than Lytle could not have been
made, He has no superior as a man
u ager in the Interstate league. He
must be given credit for getting to-
gether the Wheeling team, and when
he and Healy forfeited the franchise
Wheeling led the Interstate clubs.
Lytle will doubtless make an effort to
restore the club to that position, and
should have the encouragement of the
local patrons of the game His first
official act was to appoint Denny"
Lyons field captain temporarily. Tom
Turner was not in the game yesterday,

to be gone.
Eddie Poole pitched very effectively
for Wheeling, but did not exert him

The visitors failed to make more than

Repairs to be Made

tire time and attention of the force OF

after the break yesterday. Superin-
tendent Oliver had had but few hours
sleep since Saturday morning, and af-
ter giving instructions about making
the repairs, he went to his home and
retired about $3.50 o'clock.
Meanwhile, it was found necessary
to secure new force of men. as the
old force was practically exhausted
from loss of sleep. report started in
circulation to the effect that it would
be necessary to await the arrival of a
casting from Pittsburg, proved to bs
without foundation.
1t was determined to remove the Y
section Of the main, and replace it with
straight section. This Is being done
during the night When 1t is compieS-
ed, the situation will be the same as
before the work of making the con-
nection was started last Friday. There
will be no connection with the new
pump, and the wall of masonry will
be built before another attempt is made
to establish connection. 1t is expect
ed that the work will be completed and
the water again turned IN by eight or
nine o'clock this morning.
There was an element of danger con-
nected with the two breaks, according
to engineers. for the removal of the
heavy pressure caused the engines to
run of" There are no governors on
the engines at the pumping plant, but
they were watched closely yesterday
afternoon in anticipation of the break
which occurred.
1t Is Impracticable.
The suggestion was made during the
day to Chief of the Fire Department r.
d. Cline, that ne use one or two of the
city fire engines to pump water into
the reservoir, in the hope that a suffic-
lent quantity might be secured to ac-
commodate consumers. The suggestion
was impractieable, as the engines could
not pump a very large quantity of
water, and certainly not sufficient If
all worked constantly, to provide for
an economical consumption.
The police did not learn yesterday
who turned in the false alarm from the
business district early yesterday morn
ing. Persons who heard the alarm
were badly frightened.
A gentleman who was up at the res
ervoir last night stated that when he
left it contained about five. feet Of wat
er, and that about two feet of it was
mud. This amount of water would be
of very little use in the event of
conflagration.
Council will meet in regular session
tonight, and it is reported that the
water works question will be brought
up. 1t is likely that at least one re-
suit of the situation will be an agita-
ton for a duplicate force main.

THE SECOND BREAK.


| in the moa,c tnsin occurred shortly
Sefcre SIX c'ci2tk. In visw Of the
rrtlic interest n the situa ;oa, The
two breaks and their CAUSES will lie
CIV en- in det;..l.
In the first place it is necessary to
i understand that the force main con-
| meets with the old pumps. and it was
| the intention to make a connection
with main leading from the new
pump, the two thirty inch pipes form
ing "Y" at the point of connection.
| The line from the new pump to the
main was not completed when the ac-
cident occurred Sunday night, but a
valve was placed in the end of the
| short arm of the Y. The joints are
all secured with lead. The heavy
| pressure of water forced the valve off
Sunday night. 1t therefore proved to
be an error of judgment to think the
valve could withstand the pressure,
even when braced with heavy t;mbers.
| When the accident occurred the force
| of men was put to work to complete
| the connection between the valve and
| the pipe leading to the new pump. The
men worked all night and until about
| four o'clock yesterday afternoon, when
the connection was completed, and no
! further trouble from that point was
| anticipated.
| 1t was feared. however, that the pres
sure against the valve, which was
closed, might force the Y section OF
pipe toward the east. There was a
distance of about three feet from the
| main to the east bank of the ditch. To
| prevent the section from giving
away, two inch planks were placed
| against the bank, and several heavy
| jack screws were inserted between the
planks and the pipe. 1t was the inten-
| ton to build wall of masonry to Sc
cure the pipe at this point, and If the
wall had been built before the conec-
| IlOI ndd bCCl maui, IAC dCNluCHL VI yes
terday would have been averted.
Notwithstanding the precautions
which had been taken, the workmen
noticed the Y section, which is about
| nine feet long, weighing probably four
tons, moving gradually toward the east,
until it suddenly broke away from the
pipe leading to the new pump, forcing
the planks into the east bank OF the
ditch, and causing the water to escape
with great force.
