BLUE HAT ARRIVES
Copenhagen Innovation De lights Travellers and
 Impresses Cops

NEW YORK, May 1.-The chief ob- iect of attraction on the promenade deck of the Carmania when she came alongside her pier was an elderly man with owing silvery locks, who was wearing one of the new Copenhagen blue hats It won the admiration of his fellow-passengers, who saw the head gear for the first tune on the voyage. It was also hailed with joy by the crowd waiting on the pier to greet friends.
 The Carmania had left Quarantine at 7:25. She was more than two hours getting to her pier on account of having to dodge sand scows and other obstacles. The waiting was rather tedious until the man with the blue hat came in sight, and then everyone cheered up.
 By St. Patrick" said one of the pier policemen, "I must get one of the gay hats for Tom Foley's outing.'

CONTRACT AWARDED ID SINK DEEPER
 WATER SHAFT
Joe Mitchell Will Begin to Prosecute Development
 Work at Once

At special meeting of the city eouu- cil held yesterday, a contract was awarded to Joe Mitchell for the sink ing of the present deep well at the city pumping plant to depth of about 200 feet, into the water strata devel- oped by drilled well sunk few weeks ago.
 Mitchell was awarded the contract at $24.00 per foot, this being the best of a number of bids submitted. The pres ent well, which is five by ten feet in the clear, is to be sunk at that size through the Gila conglomerate and well into the water bearing strata already developed. It is believed that it will not be necessary to deepen this we'll more than 100 feet and water may be encountered at lesser depth.
 It is expected that work will be com menced on the well early next week and that it will be completed some tim1 next month.
 The members of the city council are confident that when this well is com pleted sufficient water to supply this city for many years will be developed The drilled well, which is plugged at the bottom with drill bit and in ad, dition is partly filled with sand, is flowing at the rate of about thirty gal. Ions per minute, even under unfavorable conditions and it is believed that when this water bearing strata is pierced by shaft five or ten feet in size, heavy artesian flow will be secured.
 The outcome of this work will bC watched with interest, as it is matter of considerable importance to the peo pie of this city.

FIRTH COLLAPSES.

William Firth. jr., the former night
ticket agent at the Chester, Pa, station
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, who
eloped with Ethel May Pierce, tc
Alexandria, where the girl killed her
self, is in a state of nervous collapse after
| his ordeal.
He is now being attended by two
physicians. The funeral of Miss Pierce
took place today.
Firth met his wife and 6-year-olc
daughter, Margaret, yesterday, and his
father, William Firth, senior, OF Up
land, declared that the couple will eff
feet reconciliation.
By the cross-examination of the
witnesses at the investigation OF Firth
at Chester Wednesday night the pris-
oner's lawyer indicated the defense oil
his client. He will endeavor to show
that Ethel knew her own mind when
she fled from Chester with Firth and
that it was she who had planned the
elopement.
Mrs. Mamie Firth, wife OF the clerk,
and her relatives said they hold the
mother of Ethel responsible for the
tragedy.
It was said in Chester yesterday that
Firth often entertained mother and
daughter in the railrord ticket office,
where he worked after dark. and the
visits of Mrs. Pierce and Ethel had
become so frequent as to awaken much
comment.
Persons who know Firth say that
instead OF going to his home after he
left the railroad station each morn
ing, he frequently went to the home
Of Ethel and remained there for lunch.
1t is said that he used to tell his wife
that he had not been to see the girl
until she obtained alleged positive
proof OF the friendship.
There promises to be one of the
largest concourses of people that ever
attended funeral at the obsequles.
Rev. DR.. William Shaffer, pastor Of
Madison Street Methodist Church, will
conduct the services. He christened
the child when she was an infant.
Mrs. Firth, jr.. first became cognlz-
ant of the relations which existed be-
tween her husband and the Pierce girl
July 4, when she found letter in his
pocket which was written by the girl.
This letter contained, according tc
Firth sister, who saw it, protestations
OF love and arranged time when he
was to meet her
After finding this letter Mrs. Firth
pleaded with her husband to give the
girl up, and he promised to do SO. Then
the neighbors started to talk about
the pair. and again Mrs. Firth urged
her husband to quit going with the
girl and stay at home. He promised
to do so this time, also, and again last
Monday night. when his wife carried
him lunch at II o'clock, hepromised
to stop seeing the girl. Five hours
later he was on his way to Baltimore
with the girl.
A dispatch from Chester says Chief
of Police McCarey states that there are

The resolution fixing the prices was de-
clared to be discretionary SO far as
it is to control members, and is IN no

an invited guest. Reports were to the
effect that Mr.. Wilson might bring
proceedings under the Sherman anti
trust law to prevent any boost IN prices;
The Milk Dealers Association Will
