Bracing the Water Works.

Pursuant to action taken by the Board
Of Water Commissioners at its last
meeting uperintendent Keefer has
been busy during couple of days past
inserting braces in the pumping room
Of the water works for the purpose OF
strengthening the walls.
The impaired and insecure condition
Of these walls which without any sup
port rise in one story from the founda-
tion to the roof a distance of nearly 40
feet. has long been a matter of grave
concern to the Water Commissioners.
During floods the weakness of the
walls is especially manifest, the water
from the river pouring into the pump
room through hundreds of interstices
in the masonry. At such times 1T has
seemed question whether the walls
are not on the verge of total col
| lapse.
Two heavy iron girders are being US
| ed as supports, ,intersecting each othe I
at the center and bracing the -four
walls securely on a level with the
street, or some fifteen feet above the
foundation. The big girders detract
somewhat from appearances IN the
pump room, but they seem to be neces
sary to make the building secure.
Samuel Sainsl ury and Edward Vert
map are doing the work under the
supervision of Superintendent Keefer

Drawing Up Plans and Specifications

Drawing UP Plans ana SpeClncatlolS'
The committee on Streets and Bridges
Tuesday night met with Borough Sur
veyor George +. Keefer for the pur-
pose of drawing up plans and speclfl-
cations relating to the removal OF the
canal bridges and tho building OF cul-
verts to take their place. The COM
mittee will present its report at reg
ular meeting of the Borough Council
Friday night, when the matter will be
fully discussed.
Different views relating to the bridges
are entertained by the councilman.
While the majority probably favor re-
placing the bridges with culverts 9TH
ers advocate merely the cutting down
of the street to the established grade
and the using of the same bridges.
These, it is held, will eliminate all dan
ger from flooding and answer as a sub
stitute until it can be ascertained
what final disposition is TO be made OF
the abandoned canal Should the old
waterway wholly or in part be filled
up in process of time TO meet the de-
mands of improvement. it is held. that
the money put into culverts by the
Borough would be means needlessly
expended
Another point to settle is whether it
would be the most economical to give
the bridges out under contract or for
the Borough to undertake the work it.
self A conclusion in all these matters
will probably be reached Friday night
after which at as early date as pos
sible work OH the bridges will begin.

The Evolution of Time Tables.

In the early days of railroading very
little attention was paid to the print
ing of timetables for public informa-
tion, and the few that were issued
were crude affairs, poorly printed on
fat sheets of a poor quality of paper,
and the time table itself was a regular
puzzle to many persons.
With the Improvement in numbers,
speed and equipment of trains. notice
able improvements were continually
made in the time tables until now
most of those issued by the various
companies are elaborately designed
and numbers of them worthy of pre-
servation as specimens of the highest
typographical art nor is the improve
ment in appearance only, every effort
having been made to so arrange them
that they can be readily understood by
any one.
But now that they have about reach
ed the point of perfection, comes a
change that will eventually make the
demand for time tables considerably
less.
In the arrangement of the summer
schedule in May. 1902, the Reading
System made the change in their New
York service of scheduling the trains
between Reading Terminal, Philadel-
phia, and Liberty Street, New York,
to leave both terminals Every hour
--on the hour"-from Z 100 A. NJ. to
Z :00 P. NJ
This great innovation, advertised
by the striking headline of Every
Time the Clock Strikes has proven
such a success with the travelling pub
lie that no doubt, ere long, the change
| to regular stated intervals will be
made in the service to other points.
OF course, the favor with which the
change was received was not due en-
tirely to the hourly system, but the
fine accommodation given to travellers
by swift, well-equipped trains with
Pullman Parlor Cars attached, and al
so Cafe Cars, at appropriate hours,
and no expense spared for safety. COM
fort and quick service, has added great
ly to the public interest in the " Read
ing's hourly trains to and from New
York. ="

At WORK ON
RAILROAD BRIDGE

Work was yesterday begun by the
D. L. 81 W. railroad company on the
new steel plate girder bridge, which
is to span Mahoning Greek at the
Reading Iron Works.
The bridge, filling several cars, ar
rived last week and was left upon the
siding between Mill street and MahOn-
ing creek. Along with the bridge build
ers yesterday came two large derrick
cranes. both operated by steam, one Of
them being the ponderous machine us
ed in clearing railway tracks after
wrecks.
The cars were soon unloaded and
the crowd that assembled was treated
to an object lesson showing how with
the aid of modern machinery heavy
weights may be handled with ease and
work accomplished in few minutes
which under the more primitive meth
ods of a few years ago might have
occupied days.
The heaviest pieces unloaded were
the huge plate girders. some sixty feet
long by seven feet high and wei Ching
upwards of twenty tons. In handling
these a crane was employed at each
end and they were merely lifted off
the cars and placed in proper position
along the track, where the bridge will
be put together.
The steam crane, which is able to
pick up derailed locomotive and set
it back upon the track, could have
done the work without assistance, but
in handling the heavy girders it would
have been necessary to swing them
around, which would have resulted i'll
placing them on the ground in wrong
position.
The bridge is now being put togeth-
er along side the track just east of the
site it will occupy over the creek. In
this way there will be no hold up IN
traffic while the bridge is in building.
By Sunday the structure will be COM
plete and on that day when there are
| only few trains running it will be
placed upon the abutments.
To complete the job Sunday the two
steam cranes will again be brought in
to requisition. The bridge consists OF
single span fifty eight feet long and
when completed will weigh some
Sc tons The steam cranes will take
hold at each end and the finished
bridge will be lifted bodily from its
position alongside the track and plac.
| ed upon the abutmentS.

a responsible position. The cause of
his death is not known.
The deceased is the third son of Mr..
and Mrs. Elijah G. Voris to be called
from earth within a few years time.

Mr.. REMPE'S
NEW MODEL

A new model of the self winding
clock, much larger than those hereto
fore turned out, has just been perfect
ed by the Remp3 Manufacturing Com
pany, and will be on the market in a
short time.
The larger size is adapted to the
wants of jewellers. railroads and the
like where timepiece of unerring ac-
curacy is required. The self winding
clock from the first was popular with
the railroads, but they deplored the
fact that there was not larger size
more especially adapted to their needs.
) 1t was TO meet this demand as we'll as
to supply jewelers. with a size that
could be used as regulator that Mr..
Rempe completed his new model.
The new model contains second
hand and installed in the large cases
also new models just received-it t
discounts in appearance any of the
! larger sized clocks in the market.
The improvements set on foot a
couple of weeks ago to enlarge the
capacity of the factory are we'll under
way and the western half of the cap
acious brick warehouse, formerly oc-
cupied by the Welliver Hardware Com
pany, is now nearly ready to hand ov-
er to the Rempe Manufacturing Com
pany a floor has been put down in
that half of tie building and five large
windows broken into the walls, which
admit an abundance of light. The
new portion has been partitioned into
several apartments one of which will
be used exclusively for assembling the
! clocks.
By May 1st the entire brick ware
! house will be in use by the Rempe
Manufacturing Company, which, ii
must be admitted, indicates a rapid
growth, bearing in mind the small be-
ginning made by the company less
! than a year ago.

CABLE N " Be
STRETCHED TODAY

Tie cable foI the free ferry is not
vet stretched across the river. Ihe
iuteatruu SaS I, make another attempt
ve-rr.,i.,y mo o.ling, following practic-
ailv tie ,ame plan as adopted Tues
day.
Instead of one wire as employed IN
the experiment that failed it was pro-
posed to use three wires. These 1t was
believed could easily be g tten over
the stream and that they would prove
strong enough to drag the cable across.
Before making the experiment, how
ever, the wire was tested under severe
strain to see how much it would bear.
The wire snapped in two and showed
that the theories held attributed to 1t
much greater tenacity than it possess
ed.
At this juncture it was learned that
the tubes for the coal digger's boiler
had arrived and that MI. LeDuc would
have his boat ready for use today. I'm
der the circumstances it was consider
ed best to suspend all operations and
wait for the coal digger. Unless plans
miscarry therefore, the large reel OF
wire rope today will be placed on the
coal digger, which will steam across
the river, allowing the cable to un-
wind as it advances.
With this difficult part of the work
accomplished the rest should be easy.
Excellent progress has been made with
the fat boat and under all the circum-
stances it should only be day or so
until we have a free ferry.

Boat Heavily Loaded Oapsizes.

A hoodoo of some sort would seem
TO be operating in connection with
tie free ferry. There is scarcely day
but mishap Of some sort occurs to
interfere with the progress of work.
The bad luck Tuesday befell Hoover
Bros, who have the fiat boat nearly
ready for launching.
AS put together the boat was upside
Down; in this position, too, the calk-
ing was done. To throw the big fiat
boat over to get it into right posi-
tion for launching was no easy task
without the aid of mechanical appli-
ance.
To assist in this part of the work the
crab or movable windlass belonging to
the Borough of Danyille was borrowed
was the time selected for conveying
the machine over the river 1t was
placed in row boat, which was tied
to Harvey DIetrlch's launch and an
attempt was made to tow it across. 1t
was windy, however, and the waves
were rolling high. All went well un-
til the middle of the river was reach
ed, when the row boat, heavily load
ed with the crab, got into the trough
of the waves and without any warning
filled with water and dumped its va}u-
able cargo into the river.
1t was utterly futile to attempt to
recover the crab and the launch went
on its way towing after it the inverted
boat. Whether the lost cargo can be
recovered at low water is question
on which river experts seem to differ.

Strike Occurs in Sunday School.

Tie desire to strike has become so
general that it has finally reached the
Sunday Schools, as was demonstrated
Sunday in one of the prominent church
es of Shamokin.
Easter Sunday several new classes
had been promoted from the Junior to
the Senior department and in finding
place for the new classes it was found
necessary to change the positions of
several classes in the latter depart
ment. Among the classes changed was
class of II year old boys, and they
most strenuously objected to the change
saying they did not wish to sit back of
the smaller classes. The teacher and
superintendent demonstrated with
them. and finally all but three left the
Sunday school room. Sunday, those
who wished to attend Sunday school
were prevented from doing so by 9th
ers, who were more determined, and
the entire class remained outside un-
til the school was i'll progress when
they stole in and seated themselves in
the rear of the school.
The officers of the school again
pleaded with the boys and offered a
compromise but they refused having
set their minds on a certain position.
The officers are now in dilemma, not
wishing to give in to the boys fearing
it might have bad effect on the dis
cipline of the school and on the other
hand do not wish to so offend the boys
as to keep them away from Sunday
school.
