Wafer Famine

Pittsburg, Pa, March 19--This
city will be without water IN the
street mains for sc hours. COM
mencing probably tomorrow even
ing at 6 o clock. The shutting off
Of the supply has been made nec-
essary by the great depletion ofthe
watering in the big city reservoir,
which is now nearly exhausted.
The pumping station at Brilliant
Station is in very bad condition.
the recent tlool having SO clogged
the machinery with mud aud d-bris
that there is grave danger Of the
pumps breaking at almost ny hour.
While the water is shut off the
necessary repairs will be made aud
the pumping machinery cleaned.
This means that all hydraulic eleva-
tors will be stopped, that all users Of
water will be greatly inconvenienced,
and that the drain upon the reser-
voir's remaining supply, when it is
known the water is to be shut off,
will take all that is left to tide over
the time until the pumping 10 re-
sumed.

A RAilrOnd For Perm.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 2O.-The
Post says that ]. B. Haggin. the
wealthy mine owner, is contemplating
the construction Of n railroad in Peru.
Some time ago the Haggin-Twombey
syndicate secured possession of valua-
hle,' mining properties near Pasco,
Peru, and plans are under way for
working the mines Oh an elaborate
scale. Years ago Il survey Of the route
was made from Arroyo to a point near
the Sierra Pasco mines, which ]. b.
Haggin has discovered would be most
valuable to the syndicate in its plans
for carrying its, ores to the const. 1t is
proposed to utilize this.

Promptness in Using
PA|NE'S
Celery Compound
Means Quick Restoration
to Health.
IT is The GREAT SPRING MEDICINE
i USED IN The HOMES or OUR
=. REST PEOPLE. -a
Refuse Iii Substitutes and limitations
That Nay Be Offered to You.

Iii in the spring time people acted
with more promptness, decision, and
wisdom, suffering and misery would
be vastly reduced.
To put off the work of regulating
and strengthening the nerves, purify
ing the blood, and regulating diges-
tion, at this time OF the year it is a
very serious mistake.
Run down, weak, nervous, and dis
cased men and women cannot with
safety refuse to Use Paine's Celery
Compound, the greatest of vitalizers
and health builders. The onward
and triumphant march of the great
medicine in this country and other
civilized lands should be positive
proof that it is the right medicine for
all who look for strength, robustness,
energy, and permanent health.
1t is of the greatest Importance
that every sick person should get just
what they ask for from their drug
gist or dealer. Paine Celery Com.
pound, SO celebrated for its curative
virtues, has many vile limitations. II
you are offered a substitute or imita.
tion by any dealer, leave his store and
60 to some honest merchant who will
give you what you ask for. Examine
wrapper and bottle and see that the
name PAINE'S Is on each; no other
is genuine.

COUNCIL
COMMITTEES.

The committees Of the City Coun.
Gil held their usual Wednesday
night consultations last evening.
Several matters were discussed
bu: no definite action was decided
upon.
The FIRE committee discussed a
communication from the Police Com.
mission in n.reference to the matter
Of placing s&fcty fuses on fire alarm
apparatus for.the purpose Of pre-
venting II being burned out by The
other wires carrying heavier cur.
rents coming in contact with It.
The Police Commission sent with
its communication latter from J.
w. Aydon, superintendent OF the
police and fire alarm telegraph sys-
TEN, 10 which be points out that it
would be impr acticable to use fuses
such as the fire committee of Coun.
Gil suggested, as crossed wire
would burn out all the fuses; and it
would be necessary to send man
about to replace them. during which
time all OF the boxes would be out
Of service. He also enclosed a let.
ter from William BroFhy, super,n.
tendent Of the Boston police and fire
alarm telegraph, making similar
statement.
. The fire committee will look fur.
ther into the m natter, as 1t h as been
advised by electricians that safety
strips can be used and the boxes
projected the Same as is done by
the local telephone companies. The
committee, however. does not pre-.
pose to net its own opinion against
that;of an experienced electrician
like Mr.. Aydon.
Another large delegation Of the
Brandywiue Fire Company was
present for the purpose Of urging
the claims of that company for rec
ognization, but the committee took
no action. Council will keep as
much 40 possible out OF the Ninth
ward fire contest.
Members Of the Police Commits
sion and members Of the police com.
mittee conferred in reference to the
bill of $3.50 for taking testimony in
the Massey Investigation. Prcsi-
dent Of the Police Commission, stat.
ed that when III. iuvestig alton was
begun he understood that the test,-
mony was to be taken by the stem

sci tor Chief Massey, and was not
to. be paid bv the board. Later
James J. Brady relieved the other
stenographer, and he now wants
pay for the work which the Police
has refused. The COM
mltlee will hear more about the case
before fina. action Is taken.
When the Investigation started
Mr.. CIarkson was willing to have
Clerk Sche to take notes hut Mr..

he got it and should pay for the

Robinson Viii Gaze

The sensational Robinson will
contest was yesterday transferred
to this city, when it came up for
argument before the Supreme
Court on the appeal of the son,
United States Marshall John B.
Robinson, from the verdict of the
Delaware County jury setting the
will aside on the ground Of undue
influence having been brought to
bear Oh the aged woman. The
estate was valued at about $780,
900, and the ex-Congressman was
the principal legatee. The contest
ants were Anna r. Robinson and
Gerald o. Fl. Robinson, grand
children of the testatrix and chill
dren OF her deceased son, Eccles
Robinson. John b. Robinson
was her only surviving son and
managed the estate while she liv-
ed. AT the time of her death she
was 50 years Of age.
The Court allowed an hour to
each side for argument and Attor-
ney W. I. Schafler opened for the
appellant. Justice Mitchell in
formed him that the Court had
gone carefully over the multitude
Of alleged errors submitted for the
appeal and that the Court had
reached the conclusion that the
main question concerned was the
charge Of undue influence. The
Court would, therefore, he said,
hear what counsel had to say on
that charge.

COPIES SENT TO GREAT POWERS

Possible InfmicaI Action On Part of

Would Not Disturb Status
Quo In Far East.
|, ST. PETERSBURG, March 2O.-The
Official Messenger today prints the
text Of Russo French conjoint dec
laratioii sent March 16 to the Austrian,
s+Belgian. British, American, 6panish,
German, Italian, Dutch, Chinese and
japanese governments The declaration
is as follows:
'"The allied Russo French govern
nents are wholly pleased to discern
that the Anglo-Japanese convention
supports the essential principles which,
according to the reiterated statement
Of France and Russia, constituted and
still constitute the foundation of their
policy. Both governments believe that
the support of these principles is also
a guarantee Of their interests in the
far east.
"They are compelled, however, not
to lose from view the possibly inimical
action Of other powers or repetition
Of disorders in China, possibly impair
ing China's integrity and free develop
ment to the detriment of their recipro-
cal interests. They therefore reserve to
themselves the right to take measures
to defend these interests
The predatory remarks say that Rus
sia desires the maintenance of the
status quo and the attainment of COM
plete tranquility in the far east.

Surprise In the Patrick Cnse-COun-
sci and Recorder Quarrel
NEW YORK, March 20-The trial
of Albert Il. Patrick, accused Of insti-
gating Valet Jones to strange William
NJ. Rice with chloroform, came to q
sudden end SO far as the case of the
defense is concerned yesterday after
noon without the calling Of Patrick to
the stand in his own defense.
Upon the refusal of Recorder Goff
to permit a handwriting expert OF the
defense 10 give certain testimony the
defense announced through Mr.. Moore,
I'VE rest, your honor"
This action was taken after series
of quarrels between the counsel for
the defense and the recorder and after
the former had seriously consulted
upon proposition to withdraw from
the case as a protest against what Mr..
Moore said lie believed to be a course
on the part of Recorder Goff discredit-
ing the defense with the jury. 1t was
expected that the case Of the defense
would last until Friday.
The defense is confident that they
have destroyed the case Of the prose-
cution and that Patrick will be acquit-
ted without fnr'' "-'""t testimony.

had been picked and as the pota-
to crop does rot interfere with the
fruit crop, hundreds of farmers are
planting this season and will gath
er two crops this year instead of
one. The tomato and pea crop is
also another very profitable one
and most of the farmers have
planted their peas. After the
peas are ripe the farmer goes over
fields with amower just as one
would in moving a lawn, and NOV
the vines down and haul them to
the canneries. The pears are
threshed out by all automatic hull
ler and the farmer is paid by the
quart which is usually from q! to
d cents a quart.
