filled with passengers and they soon
realized that something had happened.
The motorman did all in his power
to slacken the speed. For time il
was feared the runaway would run in
to one of the small cars ahead.
1t was more luck than ANYTHING else
that the switch at the foot Of the hill
was clear, for if the Car ahead had
stopped fatal collision would prob
ably have occurred.
AS the big car rounded the switch
the people who we're on the steps were
badly shaken up and -four Of then
either fell oriumped off. One Of these
was John Olson, son of Peder Olson,

Bad Leak on The South Shore
and no Water in This City
for Six or Seven Hours.
City Engineer and Two Water Com
missiOners in Town Did What
They Could to Get MatterStraight.

For several hours last night the city
was without any city water because
of the blowout of a six nch tap
on the twenty four inch main ut Marsh
creek point. The officials of the wat
er department we're, with one or two
exceptions, out of the city on an an
nual outing to College Point. 1t was
sometime before men could be secured
to make repairs.
1T was about O'Clock when the
break occurred. The tap at Marsh
creek point, which is the lowest in
the main, with the exception of the
pipe under the river, blew out.
When the break occurred the peo.
pie at Runyon could not tell just
where it was A message was sent to
this city and Samuel Mason, the water
board engineer, and Commissioners
Voorhees, and O'Hara were the only
ones who could be found. They started
in to do all they could. In the mean
time the break in the twenty -four-inch
main had BECOME SO big that the city
was without a drop of water. An at
tempt to relieve matters by using the
sixteen-inch main failed. The water
was sent through it, but the break in
the big main was SO great that the
water pumped over ran back in the
twenty fourinch pipe, the point where
the break occurred being SO low.
Engineer Mason and Commissioner
Voorhees, finally located the break and
after four hours hard work they sue
ceeded in shutting off the section con-
Meeting the two mains and the water
was sent through the sixteen-inch all
right.
Every factory and house in the city
had been without water for hours and
when the factories found that the
flow had started again they all began
drawing and it was II O'Clock last
night before many of the houses could
get any water at all.
While Engineer Mason and Commits
sioner Voorhees, we're at work on the
other side of the river, Commissioner
O'Hara gathered together few men
and they took Lincoln Engine Com
pany S steamer and hose carriage to
the old pumping station at Eagles
wood, prepared to pump the boiler
there full of water and start it up.
They found that the boiler was all
ready, however.
Two engineers who formerly worked
at Eagleswood, Messrs. Donehue and
Foley, were left in charge of the
plant. In the meantime the break had
been found.and the water was com ing
over and the Eagleswood plant was not
needed.
A gang of men is at work on the
break in the twenty four-inch main
today and it is expected that it will
be repaired some time this afternoon.
The supply, in the meantime. is com
ing through the sixteen-inch main.
