FOUND CORPSE WITH
PADLOCKED MOUTH

BUDAPEST. July 30.-History records
sundry criminal proceedings reporting
the affixing of padlocks to human be-
ing's mouth. In Hungary this was the
ecclesiastical punishment for uttering
blasphemy. The same crime was pun
ished in Spain by tearing out the Gull
prit's tongue. in France by branding
the tongue. in Holland by piercing the
tongue with nails. etc.
In an ancient grave a padlocked hu-
man face was discovered recently, and
a few days ago it was put on exhibition
in the National Museum in this city
The ste pies are driven through the bony
parts of the face at both sides of the
mouth. Antiquarians say the lock IS
dated from the end of the sixteenth CEN
tury.

The Water Supply {

Many people in this city arestill com
planning OF the dissgfeeabe taste and
odor of the water which comes from the
r,srrvcirs, and the officials of the COM
pany are considerably exercised over the
matter. They say they have receotly
had several analyses of the water made
by competent chemists and nothing det-
rimentai to health has, they ASSERT, been
found. During the past few weeks sew
eral persons have visited the run from
which the reservoirs are supplied and
tested the water. They have found it
clear and devoid of any unsavory taste or
smell. Tests were made where the new
arch has been erected near the double
bridges, at the dam east Of that structure
and as far down as Roberts's mill. Hence
the trouble must be in the reservoirs ana
when they shall have been cleaned the
UNPLEASANT taste and odOr OF the water
will disappear. This, however, cannot
be done until after prolonged rain, as
were the water turned out now water
famine would result. An enormous
quantity of water iscOnsumed every day,
and in order to keep the reservoirs up 20
the proper standard the engines are kept
at work necessarily. The opening OF the
ground incidental to the railway improve
meots west of this city impregnated the
water. and some of the accumulations are
probably IN the reservoirs. The trouble
will be remedied as soon as possible.
Recently the water supply has been heav-
ily taxed. The contractors for the rail-
road improvements are large consumers.
Those conditions, however are but tenn
