Yesterday afternoon sinking pumps
were recovered and everything at thu
shaft is now running as usual.
Superintendent symmes has planned
extensive improvements at the Ward,
the machinery and supplies for which
are only just beginning to arrive. When
the improvements have been compferci,
the machinery and pipe line win be all
in duplicate, thus making the trouble
of the last few days, next to impos-
sible.
The water in the Ward shaft is los
degrees Fahrenheit, and during the
time that bailing was in progress and
the big electric pump was running. the
24I5 station was undoubtedly the hot
test working station that the Comstock
has ever known. But the men stood
TO their difficult positions until they
were dragged out exhausted by the next
pass. Many of the men appeared to be
'tfftaoft mt tdttfS anu Voluntarily
worked more than one shift.
Superintendent Symmes is authority
for the statement that with the crew Of
men he now has at the Ward, he could
stope the devil out of Hades. But he
is going to put a blower and another
cold water pipe down the shaft before
he tries it.
The following notice was posted this
morning in the Ward change room:
81 desire to thank each and every
one Of my men for the loyal way they
stood by their work during the troubles
of the past few days. With you fell
lows to back me up, we will econ.
struct our collection of junk until we
make the Ward the best shaft on the
lode.

COMSTOCK MEN IN FIERCE
BATTLE WITH HOT WATER

VIRGINIA CITY, New, Sept. TO-
Working like demons in a fierce battl,
to conquer the rapid rise of water ia
the Ward shaft on the Comstock at vir-
ginia City, where the water is los de-
grees Fahrenheit, a big force of men
has succeeded in overcoming a series
of accidents to pumps and other ma
chinery that for several days threat
ened to battle their most determined eff
forts and flood at least a large portion
OF the mine.
Last Saturday morning one of the
sinking pumps got out of order aud
let the water rise. The second sinker
got drowned and refused to take the
air. The bailing tanks were put on
and then a guide broke below the water
level, thus combining bailing to only one
of the two tanks. The water was being
rapidly lowered however, when the
compressed air pipe supplying the 2475
donkey pump parted in the shaft. This
was repaired and the water was again
lowered to the bottom of the shaft,
when the donkey pump, having lived u
useful life of 81 years, concluded to
join the rest of the knockers and
promptly kicked itself inside out.
The big express pump was then
started. The special motor sending all
to the receivers of the express pump
took a notion to burn n coil out, but the
big pump was kept running nevertne.
less, although it made a noise like a
Calling gun. 1t is the highest speed
plunger pump in the world.
The water was thus reduced below
the danger point and was then held by
bailing to the Sutro tunnel level until
another donkey pump had been lowered
place on the PAYS station.

with Mr.. Thompson, with a view of
starting work.-Blair Miner.

SOAP SWINDLERS
 AGAIN WORKING
'sThat Will Buy You An other Vote," the Cool Re ply Received to a. Demand
 for Change Due Mrs.Paul.

Mrs. Rudolph Paul. of 582 Kossuth street complained to Patro1man Flynn last night that she had been defrauded out of 50 cents by two men who were selling soap from house to house. The men called at her house yesterday aft er1con and offered three boxes of soap for 50 cents, an exceptional bargain. Mrs. Paul purchased three boxes and tendered one of the men dollar bill in payment. The man coo1ly pocketed the bill and walked away. Mrs. Paul called his attention to the fact that there was 50 cents due her in change. That will buy you another vote," re- piled the man as he walked out of ths gate. Mrs. Paul describes the man who took her money as short and stout. He wore glasses. The deScrip- tion answers that of two men who worked the city last summer ostensi- bly, selling a standard brand of soap at a ridiculously low figure. They col lected a portion of the money when taking the order but never appeared again to deliver the soap.

IRELAND'S STRUGGLE
 FOR LIBERTY
Sacred Concert and Lecture on St. Patrick at St. Charles Hall Tomorrow
 Evening.

A sacred concert and lecture will be
 given Sunday evening. March IA in St. Charles hall. The lecturer will be
 Rev. T. P. Sweeney, Fall River. Mass,
 and his subject: 'Ireland's Struggle for the Faith
 The subject itself is full of absorb ing interest. Modern history has no parallel for the sufferings of the Irish nation during the 17th century. By law Professionalism was the only relig- ion tolerated. Catholics were exclud- ed, as such from both houses of the Legislature and gradually severer en- ectmentS deprived them entirely of the elective rights of it's members. Per- hdy, oppression and inSolence created
 rebellion-and what armed force could
 not of itself accomplish, avarice stfm-
 ulated by the greed of confiscated es-
 tates, sought in some instances to in
 vite loyalty to the crown.
 Not content with the deprivation of their landed interests and the disfran- chisement of their elective rights-for refusing to kneel as a vasSal state to England-the misery of Ireland was further intensified by a relentless re- ligiOuS persecution; and an armed force tried-yet in vain-to rule the Catholic hearts of Irishmen-even as struggle to maintain the faith and the subject of this lecture is full of absorb ing interest. Irish descendants can ask their fathers and they will tale to them unfold, how the priest was a hunted creature among the hills and the same price was on his head as that of wolf. 1t was a crime to say mass. It was a crime to attend divine worship and the base profession of the informer was fostered by the promise of reward.
 In education too, Catholics suffered from legal disabilities. None could study at the universities but those who took the oaths. It was crime for a Catholic to teach even in a pri- vate family. To be educated abroad, was out1awry. The child who was sent, suffered the loss of his property and those who sent him incurred inn priSonment-
 A lecture on these things is full of interest to all Irishmen. A fine pro- gram of Moore's melodies will add to the evenings intellectual treat.

The Web of Venice.


 In Venice one is as if caught in an
 Immense network, or spiders web, which, as one walks in it's midst, seems to tighten the closer about one. The streets narrow overhead, push outward with beams and stone balconies and many turning angles; seem to loosen their hold for a moment where bridge crosses narrow canal between high walls and over dark water and then tighten again in close lanes where the smells of the shops meet and fume about ones face. The lanes are busy with men in rough clothes and with women in shawls, bareheaded and with great soft bushes of hair, who come and go quietly, slipping past one anoth- CT in these narrow spaces, where there is hardly room to pass, as the gondolas slip past one another in the narrow canals. The road is difficult to find. for a single wrong turning may lead one to the other end of Venice This movement, the tangles of the way, the continual arresting of ones attention by some window, doorway or balcony put strain upon ones eyes and begin after a time to tire and stupefy the brain. There is no more bewildering city, and as night comes on the be wilderment grows almost disquieting. Arthur Symons in Scribner's.

ALLIANCE FRANCHISE

Next Monday evening members of the Bridgeport Group of the Alliance F'rancaise will play the very amusing comedy, La. Grammaire', at the Ho- tel Stratfield. There is so much ac- tion and so many droll situations that even beginners in the French language cannot fail to enjoy it, but the enjoy ment will be greatly increased by fla miliarity with all the idiomatic ex- pressions in which the points of the jokes lie hid. There will therefore be a preliminary study of La Cram maire' next Saturday afternoon in the rooms of the Bridgeport Art League, at o'clock. The comedy will be read, scene by scene, first in French and then in English. All students belong ing to the Group are cordially invited to be present.

Y, and immediate ly went to house keeping in Greenwich The couple took in two boarders one of them a second cousin to Mrs. Mar shall. It soon came to the notice of the hubby that Mrs Marshall exhibit ed undue attention to her cousin. The husband remonStrated and told his wife to get rid of the star boarder Mrs. Marshall said that if the boarder left she would leave also. The board- CT left on the request of MT. Marshall and was followed a month later which was April 8, 1904 by Mrs. Marshall. Ev- idence was brought to show the court that the erring wife did not intend to return east.

They were Fairfield and soon came to Bridge port to live. Mrs. Kosma was sur priSed one day to receive a visit from a young man who represented himself
  tigation she learned that the story Of the young man was true and that his mother was still living. She went for her husband and told him that she would not live with him any more. Two weeks later the husband sailed for Hungary fearing arrest. There was plenty of evidence brought out in court that Kosma was married to Ju- lia Szatmari in 1875, had five children and was not living with his first wife The plaintiff was allowed a decree and the right to assume her maiden name
 Considerable surprise was expressed in the court room when Charles F Holly an elderly resident of Long Ridge asked for a divorce from Hattie A. Holly on the grounds of desertion. The couple were married in March 1876 and lived together for over 29 years The only reason that the plain tiff could give for the assertion was loneliness of Long Ridge and wanted to get to Stamford where she had friends. The plaintiff could not see how she could escape loneliness in Stamford. The court granted the de- cree.
