Waterboard Recommends Trading Cove Brook for Temporary Supply and Council will Act Tonight Option on Pipe Line Secured and it Can be Here in Week-Pumpng at Mohegan Lake Increases Pressure.

lleved that il will be sufficient to con- Htruct the line From the condition of the reservoir and Mohegan lake now it Is believed that it will be necessary Co pump all winter unless rain in large quantity falls.
 There will be nn even pressure main tained by tho pumping station, the mains being about to stand 100 pounds. although they are not subjected to that from inc reservoir. A pressure gauge will be attached to Inc pipe line. Tho supply of 100000 gallons in 25 hours will hardly supply inc wants of the city. so that some will have to be taken from the reservoirs, as about i.aO0. 900 gallons are nFed daily dur ns the curtallment It Is believed that the temporary supply can be secured before the water in the res ervoirs is exhausted, but even after the temporary supply is received. it win be necessary to save unless more ia pumped during the 24 hours than ia eatimnted Between 1000 and 5000 feet of pipe will be needed.

 At Meadow Brook basin it was de- ctded to abandon the pumping of the second well because of the small amount of water received. Tho first well Is being pumped night and day, and there is d small stream running Into Fairview. While the amount of water received from this is not suf- ficient to pay for the pumping. 1t is
 being keut up and will be continued for the purpose of keeping the pipe limo to FaIrvlew open and not allow it to freeze up. As, soon as this dan ger ls at all lessened 1t is probable that that well will be given up. says Superintendent corkery The appa- ratus used in driving the second well, including the engines and pump, have been taken down, and part of them have been carted away. The remain der will be away by tonight.
 leo Lessens the Water Supply.
 The very cold snap has lessened the water supply materially, as the ice at both the reservoir and Mohegan lake is quite thick. A rain or a thaw would soon turn that and the quantity of snow on the water sheds into water but until that is received the available supply is steadily growing less both by freezing and by consumption. At
 Fairview there Is but very little water left, so that what is being received

SECOND CHURCH SALE
 AND TURKEY SUPPER
Very Large Attendance and improve ment Society Will Realize Well from Proceeds.

Under the auspices of the Church Improvement society of the Second Congregational church. a turkey sup per and sale of fancy articles was vestry. The supper lasted from 6 o'clock to 730 and was attended by over 150 people.
 The rooms were attrachvely decor ated with red and evergreen that was suggestive of the approaching Christ mas season, while each table had AS a centerplece a small Christmas tree, which was adorned with tinsel and other decorations. The whole made a very pleasing effect and was greatly admired. The several booths, too, were trimmed in an attractive style, and the gooos that were displayed, which were of a wide and tempting variety, met with ready sale.
 The fancy work table was in charge of Mrs. Chauncey Sherman and Mrs. William Kicker. The Alpha Sigma so- ciety had a booth that contained at- tractive wares In the foodstuff hna cut flowers and potted plants. and was in charge of Mrs. Frank Bill and Mrs. H. D. Johnson. Miss Bessie MacMil- Ian and Miss Edith An1 1erson acted as salesladies. This booth was cir cular in form and the chief feature less line of red Christmas bells, with d background of green
 The Alpha Deitas were in charge of the candy booth, whose color scheme in the decorations was lavender and white. which made a pleasing effect. The table was presided over by differ ent members of the society during the course of the evening. The mystery booth was also operated under the di- rection of the Delta Alphas. and this corner proved to be popular one for all and afforded an untold amount of fun to them who made purchases here
 The side show, however. that was conducted by the Mems league of the church. was the most popular of all the attractions. The biograph and the art gallery both had much that was of especial interest to all.
 The supper committee, to whom es- pecial credit should be given for the successful issue of this affair, was made up of Mrs. R. H. Eeprosse, Mrs G. C. Hull. Mrs. Jerome C. Conant, Mrs. Worthy Walker, Mrs. George Kampf, Miss Henrietta Lang and Mrs Aubrey Jarvis. The president of the society is Miss Sarah L. Tyler and the two vice presidents that were pres ent Friday evening were Mrs James Huntington and Mrs. James Fitzpat- rick.

brook. was considered. and it was de- cided to recommend tho establishment of a temporary pumping station at Trading Cove brook and the building of a pipo limo there, from tho end of the main in West Main street. at Dunham street This will be commu- nicated Co the court of common coun- ell. and they will take action. it Is stated. at special meeting thls eve ming.
 Previous Co this, the water board has gone as far as it could. and it has secured an option on 12-inch pipN suf- fcient to construct the line and that will be sent hero at once, and it is believed will be received In about a week. This foresight by the board will snvo much delay fin securing the great necessity.
 For a part of the distance it is in- tended to lay the pipo underground. that being from Dunham street to a short distance beyond Bacnus corner, where it will leave the highway and cross private land to tho point where il is intended to pump from. II is inteded to lay this part on the ground ns the motion of tho water in the 12- inch pipe will keep 1t from fr'fzinG.
 Work will be started at boIn ends ln order to hurry the work and 1t Is probable that the trench for the pipe will be ready before it gets here At the brook 1t will be necessary to con- struct temporary dam and dig a small well in order to get depth of water sufficient to pump from and prevent the sucking in of mud. This, it Is not believed, will take long. The work will bs hustled along as fast as possible. every advantage being taken to get the water as soon az possible. It has been stated that the work could be done in thirty days. There will also be a pumping house at the dam site.
 Amount Will Suffice.

SUNDAY SHOWS
/ ARE NOT ILLEGAL
J. 3. DELcHER ACQUITTED IN
CRIMINAL COURT-JUDGE MAX
WELLS DECISION PERFOM.
- ANcES ON SABBATH NOT A VIo-
LATION OF THE STATUTES.

That the. statutes of Florida do not
apply to Sunday theatrical perform
ances is the decision given this morn
ing by Judge J. S. Maxwell in the case
ager of the Duval theatre, says the
Jacksonville Metropolis.
The information filed by County So
icitor Gray a few weeks ago charged
Delcher with being responsible for
Sunday performances at his theater,
which We're alleged to be against the
laws Of the state. The case was set
for trial today, and the defense was
represented by John E. and Julian
Hartridge and D. H. Doig.
John E. Hartridge called attention to
the fact that the statute preventing
manual labor on the Sabbath was not
applicable to Sunday performances at
theaters, and that the moving of seen
cry and other work was only incidental
to the performance, and that the peo-
pie did not pay to see the scenes shift
ed, etc. The statutes did not apply to
an artist exhibiting his or her talents,
and he asked Judge Maxwell to in
struct the jury to bring in verdict of
not guilty, Which, Judge Maxwell see
ing the strength of the position taken
by counsel for the defense, did at once.
The decision means that Jackson
vile viii continue its Sunday shows
without fear of further interruption,
and the result will arouse widespread
interest all over the state.
