MUNICIPAL WATER.
Brooklyn Street Residents Convert
ed by the Vast Amount of Water
They Receive Gratis-Another
Flood.

Residents of Brooklyn street in the
vicinity of Brooklyn bridge have all
been converted into strong municipal
water men. Their conversion comes
through force of circumstances. They
believe that the residents of this city
should not pay exorbitant rates to the
Consolidated Water company when
enough water can be procured in their
cellars and on the streets in their sec
ton after n heavy rain fall and ice
blockade to supply all Carbondale with
water for at least six months. The cell
lars of 7. Gilhool, Meehans. Tooans,
McDonoughs and several others are
filled to depth of over five feet as the
result of the heavy downpour of rain
Tuesday night. Yesterday morning
the water was running over the bridge
on the streets and through yards to
the cellars. The ice was blocked for
considerable distance along the
bridge and for a time it was feared
that the bridge would be carried away
and much more damage caused. The
street leading to the bridge has been
covered by stream of water several
inches in depth and the yards below
the bridge are filled With water. The
small stream in the river usually seen
is now veritable roaring torrent. Oc-
casionally a quantity of ice floats
down and with "a resounding crash
weakens to no little extent the sup
porting beams of the frame bridge.
The large cakes of ice thus carried
down are swept over on the road and
in the nearby yards. Commissioner
Killen worked all day with several
men TO disrupt the blockade and partly
succeeded. At 8 o'clock Il large block
ade of ice was noticed at the side of
the Gilhool store and Killen used Il
stick of giant powder to remove it.
When the ignlted fuse reached the
powder an explosion occurred which
was plainly heard at distance The
ice was broken i'm pieces from the top
sections and the particles of ice rained
down on the persons in the vicinity
and on the houses. The powder was
not strong enough to accomplish all
that was expected of it. 1T completely
overturned the vast ice flow but it
again took up position a few feet
further down the stream. This is the
third time this season that consider
able damage has been caused by an
overflow and the sufferers are justly
indignant and threaten to make
things warm for the city or the D. &
H. company Each claims that the
other is responsible for the condition
of things Court may have to decide
the matter as damage suits will be
brought by the victims. Crowds view
ed the scene yesterday afternoon.

tertained Last Night-Will Close
Tonight.
The Columbia boys entertained a
large crowd at their fair last night. The
hall was comfortable filed The hour
of round dancing, instead of the half
hour heretofore, proved a great attrac-
ton This additional half-hour caused
the doing away with the usual pro-
gramme.
The Crystal Fire company, of Jer-
myn, in their neat uniforms, were the
guests last night and gained many ad-
mirers by their splendid appearance.
Tonight will be the last night of the
fair and the hall will, no doubt, be
crowded. The door prize for the last
two evenings and tonight is hand
some diamond ring. The holder of the
winning ticket must be in the hail when
the drawing takes place. If the holder
fails to be present, numbers will be
drawn from the box until the holder of
ticket Is found.
The fair has been a great success in
financial and social way and ban
ner night of the fair Is looked for to-
night, when the Columbia boys will bid
farewell to their patrons. The ten dol
lars worth of laundry and the twenty
five dollars in gold will be awarded to-
night. The diamond ring, offered to
the lady selling the most chances on
the twenty-five dollars in gold, will also
be awarded this evening. There has
been spirited rivalry between the fair
canvassers and the result will be await
ed with considerable interest. Tonight
there will also be an hour of round
dancing and no programme.

DAYS SPLENDID WORK.
A Rare Evening of Humorous Story
Telling and Quaint Characteriza-

Telling and Quaint Characteriza-
tions.
The keen appreciation of wit and
|, humor by the American people ana
their fondness for capital story-teller
was illustrated anew last night when
splendid audience made merry over
the stories capitally told by Elias Day.
the characterist; when they smiled and
felt pleased with his humor and when
they admired and applauded his de-
lineations mostly humorous, which
give a living reality and force to the
characters he reproduced.
1t was a rare evening of enjoyment
and there was not person who left
the Grand last night that was not of the
opinion that Mr.. Day was not only a
clever young man, but by far the clev-
crest in his line that has ever visited
this place. He was preceded with gen.
erous praise from those who had wit
messed his work in othere eplaces, but
he was not over-rated. Whatever eX-
pectations were raised weere fully real
iZed, and If Mr.. Day ever cares to re-
turn to Carbondalo he can come with
the assurance of a reception of even
greater warmth than greeted him last
night.
The most conspicuous feature of Mr..
Days work is the fidelity and natural
ness with which he portrays the char-
acters of everyday life. His charac-
ters are not fictitious or impossible
They are within the acquaintance of
everybody; they are persons who are
seen in every community, who are IA
miliar to everybody and whose charac-
teristics are well known. So last night
it was like greeting old acquaintances
as Mr. Day introduced his characters
and presented them with such rare
fidelity. The crossroads grocery store
story teller the Hebrew, the Southern
colonel, the professor of classical
music and the Irishman were among
the characters he presented. President
Roosevelt was also strikingly por-
trayed. 1t was not all humor that Mr..
Day provides, there was Just enough
pathos in his descriptions and charac-
terizations to indicate that he is not
one-sided by any means and that in
his makeup there is real ability.
This number was perhaps the most
satisfactory in the Smith Singer
course.
