WATER SCARCE
ON WASH DAY
Eastlake Housewives Annoying
Predicament.
RAIN BARRELS SAVE DAY
Housewives Scurried About With
Various Kinds of Pals to Sc
cure Water to Do Their
Washing.

Scarcity of water has given the good
housewives Of Eastlake much annoyance,
particularly on wash days, for sometime.
The usual weekly wash day in Eastlake.
as in other sections of the city, is Mon
day. But in most parts of the city there
is always an abundant water supply all
the time, while in Eastlake on wash
days the supply is usually very scant.
Eastlake is supplied with water from
the tower at Elliott avenue and Jeffer-
son street. Water is pumped into the
tower from the City Mills pumping Sta
ton at Sixteenth and King streets and
the supply is sufficient under ordinary
circumstances to furnish all the water
needed in that section of the city. But
the conditions of water recruitment are
extraordinary on Mondays in Eastlake
as washngs are big and much more than
the usual quantity of water is needed.
Last Monday and the previous Monday
the water supply ran short and the
honsekeepers with difficulty succeeded
in securing enough to clean the accumlI-
ations Of soiled clothing. All over East
lake women We're asking their neighbors
if they had water to spare. Some had
and some had not and the request for
aqua pura was passed along.
Where water could be spared buckets
ful OF it We're carried from house TO house
TO help ont with the washings. In many
cases housekeepers had to so several
blocks to get water and even then had
ifficulty in getting it. Women were
hnrrying about the streets with buskets
and all sorts of pals in search of water.
Some residents had barrels under the
rain spouts to catch the rain water and
these more fortunate ones, as it proved,
helped out the numerous applicants.
Had it not been for the rain barrel sup.
ply much clothing would no doubt have
gone nnwashed in Eastlake.
This condition of affairs will doubtless
he remedied before long as it is said the
Water Commissioners are contemplate
ing putting in a pump at the tower to
keep mp full supply all the time. For
this, if it is done, the housewives Of
llastlake will offer prayers of thanks
md ask eternal blessings upon the mem
hers of the Board of Water Commits
sioners.

|COUNCILMEN
ARE JARRED
Wives Want to Accompany Them
on Junket.
MEMBERS ARE AGITATED
If Women Go the Men Will Have
Quieter Time Than Usual
Unless Night Sessions
are Held.

The members Of City Council who have
for sometime been planning to have Il
royal good time at Buffalo and Niagara
Falls next month, when they will at
tend the annual convention of the League
Of American municipalities at James
town, which is not very far from Buff
alo, We're considerably agitated last night
when it was discovered that the wives of
some Of the members intended to 60
along or ut least would meet them at
Buffalo.
The members endeavored to keep the
matter quiet AS they feared that the
wives of the other members would learn
that some members wives were going
and they would want to go also.
The matter, however. leaked out de-
spite the precautions taken. 1t was
learned that the wives of two members
would positively go. This of course is
but the beginning Of the affair and by
tonight there may be half dozen more
who will want to go.
1t is predicted that the jamestown
trip will be much quieter than the previ-
GUS councilmanic janntS to Charleston.
Syracuse, Detroit and Columbus, if the
members wives 90 along. One member
said that as the convention will hold
night sessions they might still have
some excuse to remain out each evening"

NO Sign OF speedy settlement OF the
Dock Troubles.
San Francisco, July 31.-There are no
signs of speedy settlement Of the
great strike on the docks ordered by
the City Front federation. Employers
predict its ultimate collapse, although
they admit that the struggle may be
prolonged. The labor leaders express
confidence of victory and say that, II
necessary, the strike will be extended
to include every port on the Pacific
coast. The resolution calling out the
members of the federation has already
been extended SO as to cover the entire
bay of San Francisco.
The marine firemen will call out their
full membership of 1900, with the ex-
ception of those employed on towboats.
The sand teamsters have gone out In
sympathy with the teamsters. This in
wolves directly $50 members of this
union and indirectly affects 5000 in the
building trades whose supplies will be
cut off and who of necessity will be
thrown out Of work when they run
short of brick, sand, cement, rock and
gravel.
The strike of the packers has forced
the American Can company to close
down, throwing 400 persons out Of EN-
ployment. Canneries which are de-
pendent upon it for the supplies of
cans employ 5000 men, women and
children, and unless the factory can
resume within a few days all will be
thrown out of employment.

TWO WOMEN STONED.
Mrs. Wagner Declared Her Hus-
band Was Guilty Party.
Interesting Hearing Was Held Be
fore Magistrate Hollis Husband
Was Discharged.

| Mrs. Frederick Wagner and daughter
Edith, aged about l6 years of age, Of
Penny Hill, have recently been stoned
at night on the highway near ther home.
Stones We're thrown ut them ON several
occasions. Sometimes the attack was
made on them when they were leaving
home to go to Shellpot Park and other
times when they We're returning home.
The stones were apparently thrown on
the various occasions by man who hid
in the bushes along the road. Aftc;
throwing the stones he would quickly
disappear in the darkness.
On Tuesday night, July 49, mother and
daughter were stoned, when they clam.
declare it was Mrs. Wagner's husband,
who has recently been boarding across
the road from his wife's home. On this
occasion they We're accompanied by John
Jackson.
A charge was preferred. against MIR.
Wagner and II hearing in the ease took
place at the office of Magistrate Hollis
last evening. Mr.. Wagner denied posi-.
lively that he was away from his board
ins house that night. He boards with 4
Mr.. Hanson. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Han
son testified that Mr.. Wagner had mol
been away that evening.
Mrs. Wagner testified that >about $50
O'Clock the next morning she found her
husband asleep in a hammock in his
blacksmith shop and that his best shoes
We're lying under the hammock.
ARENAS Smith appeared for the prose
cuiion and Robert G. Fraim for the
defense The defense endcavorcd to
prove that the night in question was Il
dark night and ii would have been i'm
possible to have recognized anyone Il
half square away.
Isaac Baylis testified that ii rained
on the night Of the sixteenth and that n,
show was given at Shcllpot Park.
Artemas Smith declared that man
who would stone woman in the dark
was as bad as an assassin. Robert C.
Fraim declared it was the worst case
he had seen in all the thirty-two years
he had been a member of the bar.
When the case was concluded MagiS-
trate Hollis asked il they were all
through and then remarked: 81 dismiss
the case"
There has been trouble in the Wagner
family for sometime. On last Monday
night before Magistrate Pritchett, Mr.
Wagner cndcavored to have his daughter
Edith committed to the Girls Industrial
School alleging that she was leading ar
idle life. Quite a number of witnesses
We're called. The magistrate, however
refused TO cimmit the girl
Some months ago Mr.. Wagner went
to his wife's home at night and took
away their little hoy. Mrs. Wagner rc
ported to the police that the child had
been kidnapped. Next day he returned
the hoy He had merely taken him on
Il visit to his grandmother.
1t is said that application on behalf
of Mrs. Wagner may be made to the
chancellor for writ of habeas corpus f.
recover possession OF her 3-year-old
daughter, now confined in the Home for
| Eriendless Children.
| The residents of Shellpot and vicinity
are greatly interested in the trouble in
the Wagner family and seem to be Iii
vided in their sympathies, some taking
the part Of Mrs. Wagner and others sid
