CHANGES AT WATER WORKS

Caused Considerable Talk Among
Friends of the Parties Concerned.
The Register yesterday morning re-
ferred to the fact that changes had been
made on the previous evening at the
water works pumping station. Friends
OF the parties concerned did consider
able talking about the matter yester-
day.
1t is claimed hat chief engineer
William Junkins has shown a DISPOSE
ton to attend to the buying for the
plant, this leading to a collision with
Superintendent Mike Mckinney, result
ing in McKinney's removal of Junkins.
William Hirth, engineer, was pro-
noted to Junkins' place, and Richard
Radcliffe, of the Eighth ward, was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy which was
thereby created.
John Felsing, oiler at the pumping
station, who is a close friend of Jun
kins, is alleged to have made some
rather pointed comment at Hirth con-
corning the change which had been
made. Felsing was also removed, and
his position wGs given to Mr.. Niehous,
of the North End.

About Las o'clock last night a black
man entered the home of Mrs. Jacob
Leisure in what is known as the Green
Row above the Top Mill and selling
her by the throat, had nearly chok-
ed her into Inconsistencies when he
heard the sound of the husband re-
turning from work in the mill and ran
off. The terrified woman as soon as
able to speak told her husband who
with a number of men ran down the
Pan Handle track after the fiend. The
police station was notified, and Lieut..
Frohme gave the case his personal at
tention. Officer Meyers had secured the
supposed assailant but owing to his
having but one hand had been unable
to hold him. Lieut.. Frohme recap
tured him and he is now in the police
cells. The negro gave his name as
Joe Thompson, and said he was from
Liverpool. He will be held pending
identification by Mrs. Leisure.
