Main Burst.

A stream Of water rising fountain
like for 40 feet into the air. filling the
air with spray. the street with water.
and covering the telegraph wires and
adjacent ground with ice. was what
any belated traveller might have been
at Tenth street and Grand avenue af-
ter 10 O'Clock Tuesday night. y six
inch water main broke square in two
there. the water soon worked an open
ing to- the surface OF the ground, and
the display then rivalled that which
used tn be given when the aerial
truck and fire companies were called
out To- the Masonic temple corner.
Down at the pumping station at the
watervOrks the engines began thump-
ing away AT an unusual rate. showing
that about $4,000 gallons Of water an
hour in excess of the usual consump-
ton. was escaping somewhere. II
grew worse. and searching parties
were sent out To locate the leak. which
was found about 1850. The main was
cut out after the fountain had squirt
ed for two hours and cast probably
COO coo gallons Of water into the air.

Sick and discouraged, saying he had
not long TO live, George =. Bennett APP
piled to the county officers yesterday
for transportation to Chicago, where
ne would find friends to help him on
his way TO the National Soldiers home

remarkable in this. but for the fact
that the man reinforced his plea for
help by showing his enlistment and
discharge papers from the marine serv-

MORE AUTHORITY FOR
GoVERNOR.

Gov. Carter of Hawaii has talked
things over with the president, and is
more resigned to continuing in official
life. 1t develops that his desire is not
SO much to resign as to obtain assur-
ance of presidential support in his
trouble with officials and citizens of
the territory. His experience and the
experience of Sanford Dole, governor
before him, indicates that unusual an
noyances are attached to the Office,
which should be clothed with more au-
thority. The natives still resent Amer
lean control, and they are continually
played upon by strong foreign influ-
ences.-Boston Herald.
