Pushing for Waterworks.

City council and the board OF pub
lie works held a joint session last
Wednesday evening for the purpose
of further considering the water
works matter. It was decided to &c
ahead and sell the issue of $1,000
bonds voted and spend the mon
ey on a system as far as 1t would 60
If this amount is not sufficient, and
it is not supposed that it will be by
any means, bond issue sufficient tc
complete the system will be asked
for. When the $1,000 is spent, II
can then be seen about how much
more will be needed to give us pro-
lection as well as reduction in In.
surance rates, and the citizens will
be asked to vote bonds for the neces'
sary amount.
The matter of selling the bonds
has already been taken up by the
board, and some offers have been re.
ceived. The issue will be disposed
of at once and work will begin on
the water works as soon as possible
At this meeting Mr.. G. R. Brab'
ham, Sr., who has been chairman Of
the board since it was first elected
rendered his resignation to council
This body will elect a member to f1l
the unexpired term. The election
was not held at this meeting, as time
was wanted to look over the situa
ton and select a good man and one
who will serve. Mr.. Brabham's res
ignation was accepted with regret
as he has made a most valuable mem
Der of the board and did lots of work
especially during the installation ol
the electric light plant. He resigned
for business reasons solely. His large
farming interests, to which he nov
devotes his entire attention, KEPT
him out of town so much that he
could not remain on the board, es
pecially as the body is taking up new
work in the installation of the water
works. His successor will be elected
at an early date.

New York, July 14.-General
Andres Avelino Caceres, commander
of the Peruvian army in the war with
Chilli, twice president of the republic,
leader of the Constitutional party and
at present minister to Italy, is resting
a few days in New York on his way
from Lima to Rome where he will re-
sumo his official duties. He declared
that Peru is In a pacific state and des-
tined to win worldly progress in emu
lation of America.
General Caceres is a venerable man
of 13 years, and for more than half a
century has been one of the conspic-
uous figures in South American af-
fairs. Despite his age, he still has the
bearing of soldier and appears as
vigorous and alert mentally as when
ne was proclaimed president at the
end of the Chilean war in 1881. He
was president until 1890. He is re-
Sarded as the foremost patriot of the
country and every honor in it's gift
has been bestowed upon him.
Speaking through an interpreter
he said that he especially desired to
express to Americans the kindly feel
ing all Peruvians have for this coun-
try.

said he. land especially for those who
have capital to invest. Peruvians like
the Americans and seem to understand
their temperament. We seem to be in
tune with the keen, energetic, fear
less way Americans go about things
and I predict that in the future ouI
countries will come much closer tc
each other"

ROTTEN FIRE HOSE.
Made the Basis of a Suit by New York
City.

New York, July IA suit was be-
gun today by the corporation counsel
against Michael Francis Loughman,
deputy commissioner of water supply,
gas and electricity. to recover $23,410.
which the city paid to the Windsor
Fire Appliance company for rotten fire
hose under three contracts in 1904.
This action is the result of the recon-
mendation contained in the report of
the commissioner of accounts to the
mayor. in which it is declared that the
city was defrauded by Loughman or
the United and Globe Rubber Manu-
featuring company of Trenton, N. j..
or both.
The United and Globe concern, and
the American surety company will be
made co-defendants with Windsor
Loughman. The first manufactured
the hose which Loughman sold to the
city. while the second signed a bond
guaranteeing his contracts.

the people of the island.
