one Of standpipes, but as he hadn't
turned ON the water in the regular
way he couldn't shut it off, and there
was, a good sized stream pourin g
into the street; hence the excitement.
There was help at hand Secre-
tary r. P. Woods of the Aqueduct
company heard the alarm and in the
absence of Engineer LaMountain
broke into the company's store-room,
seized a couple of wrenches weigh
ing. he stated later, from 50 to rs
pounds and hurried to the scene
with his hardware, greeted by cheers
of gathering crowds as he APP
preached. He was a bit too late to
wrench with wrenches, however, as
some one had already secured tool
from the engineers house, hoisted

There is no doubt about its presence.
