The mammoth reservoir which The

by the contractors, Messrs. Winters, Par
sons & Boomer, to-day. It Is located
about hall a mile east of the big butte
northwest of the city n will be used
by any means a trivial affair. It has a
holding capacity of 1900 900 gallons n
ccst in the neighborhood Of 1920, 900. The
bottom of the south. west and east dirt
retaining walls Is 65 feet thick. These
walls slope gradually in their upward
course n have a surface Of thirty feet
on top, the apex being capped with cut
stone. The reservoir is % feet deep, $50
feet long and 270 feet wide. In Its con-
struction 10000 yards Of concrete were
used. Tn bottom is covered by a foot Of
this material. Inside uf the 65-foot en-
bankment at the bottom there is a con-
crete wall 10 feet thick, which gradually
narrCws to a width of 2 IL feet at the
top. Over the concrete there is a two
inch covering Of Plaster to prevent the
water from percolating the under sub
stance.
All connections with the outlet have
been made. but he inlet is not quite
complete. there being about two days
work yet to be done near the reservoir.

with this water, which will he allowed to

and test the retaining power oe the struc-
ture. 1t will take from three and a half
days to five days to fill it. The pipes

Once More the Tenderloin CRATER

Figuring up recent convictions for

tins are all white men. John Rodie.

Rode was ready to buy the Nipper mine.
h May finished her play with Rode,
She was the nipper to the extent of $50.
and Rode was only John Rodie, appeal
ing to the police to recover the price of

The grafters in the Tenderloin are
smooth enough to conceal all evidences
OF guilt. The foo's whom they rob are
intoxicated at the time and can present
no tangible proofs to the police. 1t has
been the custom OF Judge Sullivan to i'm
pose a fine of sufficient magnitude to
cover the amount of the sum robbed, in
order to deprive the CRATER of the BEN
eft of the same. So when May Adams
pleaded not guilty to being an inmate
of a house Of prostitution, the judge fixed
her bond at 500. and May will have a
chance to deny that she lives on Pleasant
alley at Friday afternoons court.

A RICH MAJ STARVING.
James Roach Found by Boys I'm
Pftiabfe Condition.

MERIDEN. Conn, Jan. 20.-Some small
boys playing in the rear of an old house
in the immediate centre of the city found
that the house was occupied, although II
was thought to be deserted, and their re-
pert led to an investigation by the police.
Surrounded with filth which covered the
floor several inches in depth, James
Roach was found lying in the place IN
pitiable condition. Roach is known to own
real estate and has considerable ready
money. his property veing valued at $2o,-
coo, but for some reasons unexplained ne
was living in abject poverty.
When Sergeant McGovern and Health ot-
iceT A. w Tracy NJ. D., visited the place
Roach was lying on an improvised mat
tress in what at one time must have been
the kitchen. judging from the quantity OF
vegetable cans and bones scattered around.
RUBBISH Of all kinds was strewn about the
room while in the other rooms were ashes
and refuse of every description. Although
the day was cold. the old man wore no
clothing of any kind. There was no food
in the house and no evidence that there
had been a fire for long time.
Roach has several wealthy relatives IN
this city including a married daughter ana

The daughter said she could not keep
the old man at her home, as he refused
TO remain there. She lost sight OF him
about one month ago. and it is presumed
he wandered into the deserted house
where he was found and determined TO
isolate himself there.

STORY OF THE WRECK.
OHiciaI Report of the Loss of the
Cruiser Charleston.

An official copy Of the report made by
Capt. George W. Pigmau, of the cruiser
Charleston wrecked about ten miles off
Kameguin Island, in the Philippines, No
vember 9. has been forwarded to the Navy
Department by Rear Admiral Watson.
The vessel was bound from Kasiguran
Bay for Manila. around the northern end
of Luzon, starting on her trip October 81.
On November l, at midnight, the vessel
was steered clear of land at Iligan Point,
but at 2:30 a. m, November 2, what ap-
peared to be either land or dark cloud
appeared on the port bow, the weather be-
ing so hazy it was impossible 10 definitely
determine whether the object was land
or a cloud. About . o'clock rocks were
made out ahead and an effort was made
to avoid them. and il was while thus
maneuvrng that the vessel ran on an
uncharted reef. There was strong cur
rent which swept the vessel broadside on
the rocks and there she hung. resisting
all efforts to back her off. The vessel be-
gan TO fill very rapidly and in five minutes
the fire rooms were flooded, extinguishng
the fires The boats were launched with
difficulty and filled with arms, ammuni-
tion. and provisions. leaving enough room
for the officers and crew. The personal
effects of all were left behind in order
that the arms and ammunition might be
saved. The water was rough, and it was
a. m. three hours after the vessel
struck before the boats were loaded and
left the ship.
landing was made in Font Island at
2:15. guards being placed over the am
munition and provisions, and everybody
was put on half rations.
Native boats from another island visited
the castaways and promised to return the
next day with fruit which they did. the
paymaster buying lot of the fruit for all.
but none of the officers or men were al
lowed to buy anything for personal use.
The first night was spent in the open
air. the men having only light canvas
covering. but they Jared fairly well, as
there were only a few light rainfalls.
There was no water on Font Island, and
Captain Pigman, after finding the natives
at San Pep V friendly, decided to
move his camp The natives met the Off
GERS and crew at the beach and received
them in friendly spirit, iand placed num-
Der of huts at their disposal. Guards were
posted around the huts, and the men were
nut through their daily drills with the
guns. The men were ordered not to noiest
the natives in any way, and not to appro-
pirate anything belonging to the natives,
and such forage as oranges and other fruit
brought in by the linen twere turned over
to the paymaster for distribution to all the
party lot of fresh beef and rice were
purchased from alternatives.
Several attempts we're made to reach the
Charleston in the sailing launch, which
had been saved, but the vessel had settled
so badly and the water was so rough tEat
the attempts had to be abandoned. No

of the sailing launch, started for Manila.

its way in the minds of the people, and
it is not unreasonable to suppose that II

science perfected by Prof. s. A. Weltmer
laid claim to the curing Of all diseases
no matter what their nature, and this
without the aid of either drugs or the sur
geon's knife II was further claimed tnat
il not only cured those diseases that come
to Nevada for treatment, but actually
cured those cases where the patients were
thousands of miles away just as readily
Prof s. A. Weltmer learned that one Dr
Bishop, living in Nevada, Mo-. had made
the statement that his method was
fraud The Professor became rightfully
indignant at the charge and demanded an
investigation. He knew that the only way
that a thorough investigation OF his meth
cd could be had was to bring suit against
DIR. Bishop. which he did, and the case
was brought up before that eminent jurlst
Judge Graves The testimonial in this
case was most remarkable, as hundreds
of men and women. full OF gratitude TO
the author of their restored health, traV-
eled thousands of miles to testify on their
oath that they had been cured through
Weltmerism. In this trial Weltmerlsn
had thrust upon it the searchlight OF not
ONLY legal Investigations, but physicians
throughout the country were called upon
the stand TO see if they could not prove
il a fraud One of the instructions of the
court was as follows: IF you find from
all the evidence and facts and circum-
stances in evidence that Weltmerism was
and had been substantially beneficial to
the general public and their methods

claimed for them. then you should find for
