THE WATER QUESTION.
An Expert Says the Rest and Cheapest
Plan is 10 supply the Town by
Artesian Wells.

The Water Board is busily at work
with the water works system improve
ment problem and they will in the near
future make report of their investiga-
tons to the City Council.
Several experts have been here recent
ly going over the grounds. The last one
here, Mr.. Ralph Carter, of New York is
well and air lift expert.
Mr.. Carter, after going thoroughly ov-
er the ground, thinks that the best and
safest plan is to bore artesian wells nea:
the C. V. freight station, bnild pump
station there and supply the town from
that source. Water and plenty of il could
be gotten in that way says Mr. Carter
and at that location the people could rest
assured that it is not contain mated. Then
too, it would be softer than the water at
present used.
Mr.. Carter gave it as his opinion that
if the holes were bored large enough the
supply would be amply sufficient for the
town. This is the newest und most up
to-date method Of supplying the cities
with water and it has worked we'll wher-
ever tried. This is an entirely new idea
here, but it is at once worthy of thorough
consideration.

No other remedy invented by man has
ever received as much praise from men
Of high station as Peruna. Over forty
members of Congress have tried it and
recommended it to suffering humanity.
They use 1t themselves to guard against
the effects of the intense strain Of public
life; to ward off the i'll effects of the
changeable climate of Washington.
They keep it in their homes for family
use. They recommend 1t to their neigh
bors, and they do not hesitate in public
print to declare their appreciation and
endorsement of this greatest Of modern
remedies.

THE CARNIVAL is orr.

Prime for labor Day Celebrasions

D
The band carnival project for Labor
Day is off, Such is the unwelcome news
The Evening World is compelled to give
TO its readers today.
The project is off for the reason that
it is impossible to have the new band
stand completed by that day. Mr. Con-
rad Cline, who has been conducting the
correspondence, has received letter in :
forming him that the stand could not be
completed before October /.
After receiving the letter from the
Champion Iron Works, OF Canton. O.,
where the order was placed, MIR Cline
wrote to a Cleveland firm and received a
reply to the effect that that firm vas so
rushed with orders that a stsnd could not
be furnished at all. much less by Sep
TENDER /.
Therefore no efforts on the part of the
committee will get the stand completed by
Labor Day. The Champion Iron Works
will go on and make the stand and have
it done by October and the band carnival
will have to be p ,stponed until another
day. 1t will hardly be any use to have I,
any day except holiday. as large crowds
could no: be drawn on any other day.

Hatteras where the Marts went to

mercy of h sea and winds.
The Marts left Savannah November

more. The vessel proceeded uninter-
ruptedly until she reached Cape Hat
teras. Last Saturday morning at s
o'clock she sprung a leak. The vessel
took water so fast that she could act be
saved. AT 4 o'clock Saturday the sea
carried away the deck load and took
away all sails. About z O'Clock she
struck Hatteras outer shoals, her masts
went n soon the vessel began going to
pieces. Captain Holloway and the crew
sought safety on the after house, the
highest place they could get and there
dashed themselves. For thirty-six
hours they were without Or or water.
The schooner McArdle was sighted
and signalled at II O'Clock On Monday.
Captain Sheppard sent boats to the
shipwrecked crew and they were land

Perry n tbs young woman were in

sides that OF Miss Morton and that the
young woman who had the chain may
become the chief witness for the state.

May Increase.

Lebanon, November 13.-The explosion
OF a large boiler in scrap puddle fur
mace No. 8, at the west works of the
American Iron and Steel Manufacture
ing Company plant late this afternoon.
caused the death of four workmen and
about forty others were more or less
seriously injured. The dead are:
Jacob Bricker, aged 81 years, of Sun
nyside, a laborer; leaves a wife and six
children.
Walter Turner, of this city, a puddler
leaves a wife and one child.
James Hissinger, of this city, a pud-
dler; leaves a wife and four children.
William Oaks, aged As, puddler; leaves
widow; died at hospital.
The calamity is the worst tha ever
occurred in Lebanon. The boiler ex-
ploded without warning and in an in
slant the entire place was black with
death dealing debris. The wreck and
ruin of the nine puddle furnaces was
complete.
thousands of persons were attracted
to n scene n weeping women and
children crowded about the place, max
ing frantic efforts to obtain tidings of
their loved ones. The excitement was
oo lIlCtllSS, IOWtNeT. ina cOIlSlQeTdDlS
time elapsed before any information
could be given them. Physicians were
called from every quarter Of the city
and the hospital ambulances n other
vehicles were hurried into service. The
offices of the works were at once con-
verted into a hospital and a corps OF
nurses from the Good Samaritana nos
pital were brought to the place. Into
this temporary hospital, the manned
and scalded workmen were carried and
given attention. Some had their eyes
burned out, others their hands blown
off. It is impossible to earn the names
of the injured. Many of them, it is be-
lieved, cannot live through the night
Women and children thronged the en-
trance to the works crying and begging
to be allowed to go inside.
1t is feared the list of lead will be
materially increased when the ruins OF
the nine wrecked puddle furnaces are
explored. The exploded boiler was
hurled high into the air and passed ovel
the offices. burying itself in the south
bank of Quittapahilla Creek, severa
hundred yards away. No information
could be secured at the temporary hos.
pital at the works. The plant has beer
closed as the workmen are removing
the debris.

from the brink of the American Falls

ceived at the reservation office that a
woman had attempted 20 sommit suicide
and was floating down stream toward
the falls. Superintendent Perry secured
a quantity of rope and hurried to the
bridge which connects Green Island
with Goat Island. The woman was
seen clinging to a submerged log at a
point a few feet below the bridge. A
moose vas fitted about the body of John
Marshall, a reservation emD'oyee and
he was lowered into the rushing waters.
He succeeded in reaching the woman's
side and placed a rope around her
waist. The two Were then slowly
hauled to the stone abutment of the
bridge. A ladder was lowered and the
woman was landed safely.
Mrs. Costello is very weak from expo

will cover. Domestic troubles caused
the oma to seek death.
