Hagerstown is on a verge Of u watee
famine. There has been srcarcity OF
water in the city mains for some time.
and the conditions have become acute.
Many of the families in the higher por-
tions of the town are without water,
and several factories were yesterday
forced TO close until arrangements
could be made to haul water from
streams in the suburbs. The present
conditions are probably worse than at
any time IN tho history of the WASH
ington County Water Company. The
pumping stations ut the Heyser Springs
aud ut the artesian well at the old resr
evoir are running night and dav. The
Hevsar Springs pump has capacity
l. 900, 600 gallons daily. but the most
that can bepumped at present Is 500,
600 gallons. About 300, 900 gallons

this quantity only about $4,000 gal

rain has fallen during the summer in
the mountain regions, and, as a re-

The Western MARYLAND Railroad Com
pany, which has been getting water
from the water company for its en-
gines. was compelled to go elsewhere
yesterday
Arrangements are being made TO es-

Antietam creek, about two miles east
Of Hagerstown. The supply il also
insufficient for the Cumberland Valley
and Norfolk and Western Railroads.
The former il compelled to send It's en-
gines to Falling Waters, while the
latter use the large tank below Shep-
herdstown. The Baltimore aud Ohio
Railroad does not depend on the CITY
for water for It's engines, but has
large tank at the Marsh Run.

numerous barnyards and bodies of
dead animals and myriads Of other
things which do not tend to give u

notice has been issued from the Office
of the water company urging all users
to boil their drinking water.

Prof. Pupin was born in 1858 on the
southern frontier of Austria Hun
gary, which is inhabited by warlike
Servian people. Pupin's ancestors
were defenders of the frontier
against the ravages of the Turks.
The young man. however, did not
care to follow in the footsteps of his
illustrious ancestors and when his
parents would not allow him to select
some peaceful pursuit he ran away
from home to escape the army and
the drudgery of it and landed in New
York in 1874. 1t was while in the
Turkish bath parlors in Brooklyn
that she young man made the ac-
9uaintance of many eminent men
who afterward aided him to better
things. Notable among these was
Rev. DR.. Horner, pastor of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church, who got
Pupin scholarship in Adelphi coll
lege, from which institution the
young Servian graduated in two
years with high honors.
He entered Columbia university in
1879 and during his studies there cap
tured several important prizes. He
was graduated at the head of his
class in 1888 and delivered the Greek
salutatory. He went to Europe,
where he took postgraduate
course. In his private studies he
made a speciality of electrical wave
propagation and in this manner he
came 10 invent the ocean telephone
that has made him rich and famous.
