at his tenacity and wondered II the

81 regretted to see him go. for he
had been here so long. He seemed
to be a part of Canton. He was identi-

His face and form were SO familiar,
his voice so often heard, the influence
of his pen so often felt that 1t will
surely seem strange to be without
him.

"The friends Of his childhood and

The wife of his bosom was sleeping
in the dust for very near a quarter

II Is true. In the home of his son and
daughter-in-law he found a pleasant
retreat. Yet he was old. The people
of his generation had passed away and
he was journeying toward the end al
most alone. There was something
pathetic in this phase of his old age.
"But this feeling of sympathy for
him was dominated by another feeling
and that was a feeling OF admiration
for his personal dignity, his venerable
mien, his long residence in our midst.
/ There were certain bold and salient

and a great deal of silica in It. There
was nothing of the unstable or vacil-

"He was somewhat of John the
Baptist in politics and never lost his

straightforwardness.
Having lived here for SO years he

ECHOES OF THE STORM.

Barnesville, O., July 3.-The rain
and hail of the past week have done
incalculable damage to the farmers
and fruit growers Of this vicinity. The
mischief begun by the flood and hail
of last Wednesday has been greatly
augmented by the continued rains.
Some raspberry fields have not been
picked for five days, and the fruit
is rotting on the vines despite the
favorable influence of the low temper
ature. In places corn and potatoes
have been washed out by the roots and
grain crops are beaten into the earth.

Colonel w. E. Cutshaw. City Engineer,
was directed by the Council to prepare
plans for new reservoir After several
SURVEYS he recommended Site ana plan
for new reservoir, which was adopted
and built under his supervision in the
years 1874 and 1875 The site chosen was
high and level plateau. about mile
west Of the Old Reservoir, and t"o-thlrds
Of a mile from the river where there was
a good and convenient location for tu-
ture pumping station.
This reservoir, rectangular In shape IL
divided into two equal compartments by
n division bank. It's capacity is 10000
gallons The banks are "A fcet high. OF
good puddle clay. spread in thin layers
and carefully consolidated by rolling with
| corrugated rollers. The inner slopes are
? to /, paved with bricks laid on edge in
hydraulic cement. The bottom Is covered
with inches of concrete The outer
slopes are well turfea. On the top OF the
| banks there is a eo-foo. gravel roadway,
Iaargined by a granite coping and iron
fence The bottom Of the reservoir las a
settling space 3la feet below the flow line
to the city In the division bank are con-
structea the inlet and outlet chambers,
| made of brick and stone masonry.
Water can be fed to either compart-
! mcnt from the inlet chamber. at the top
or bottom The outlet chamber has three
gates at differert heights on each side,
opening into the compartments through
which the water can be supplied TO the
city Two S1-inch cast-iron mains lead
from the outside to the inlet chamber
with gate valves on the outside of the
bank, and two (2) S0-incn supply mains
rass from the outlet chamber. with gate
valves on the outside. A 2t-inch cast
iron main leads from the old pumping
station past the lower reservoir to the
New Reservoir. This main is SO connected
that it can be used as pump main from
the old pumping station or to feed the
lower reservoir from the new, or as a
supply main to the city. A 30-inch cast
iron main from the outlet chamber lido
feet long extends from the reservoir to
the city. The surface of the water IS 81

resulting: in his recommendation of the
erection of a water-power plant
situated two miles above the old
station, and taking its power from
the old James River and Kanawha Canal,
under a head of 20 feet. This location was
opposite the New Reservoir and about
$500 feet distant.
The construction carried with it the
cost OF deepening and widening the canal
for a distance OF six and half miles
westward, anj. the enlargement OF the
connecting feeder with lanes River
above Bosher's Dam. a substantial stone
dam in the river, built by the canal COM
pany.
This work was commenced IN 1850, and
completed in 1882 The canal area was
enlarged so as To allow for flow OF ,Ga
cubic feet per second, thus providing for
future additions to the pumps as the
wheels then being put in required only 300
cubic feet per second. The pumping ma
chinery was designed by Professor
Charles "A. Smith, of ST. Louis. and was
furnished by H. A. Ramsay & Co., OF
Baltimore. : The water wheel termed r
i critical partial turbine 23ia feet in diam
cter. was keyed directly to the shaft ope-
rating three vertical acting plunser
pumps. the crank arms on the shaft
placed at angles of 100 degrees, were three
in number.
There were three sets OF pumps each
having daily capacity OF four million
gallons The water. after passing
through the wheels is delivered into the
Richmond level OF the James River and
iNanawha Canal. where it is again uses
by large water-power manufactures in
the city.
WATER FAMINE
While these works were being built
Richmond suffered from water famine,
and to meet the emergency Worthlng-
tor steam pump of six million capacity
was quickly erected. This Is the same
pump used at the Centennial grounds
in. Philadelphia in 1876 It Is now kept
