CITY PUMPHOUSE
RAMNED BY BOAT
STATION AT EDDYVILlE Is
WRECKED BY RIVER
CRAFT.
TOWN FACING WATER FAMINE
Damage Done Is So Great That City
and Prison May Be Deprived Of
Water Unless Plant Is
Speedily Repaired.

Eddyville.-This city is facing a
water famine of a serious character,
SO far as fire protection and domestic
service is concerned. as the result of
the wrecking OF the penitentiary
pumphouse. when the tow boat Clyde
rammed the pumphouse with her tow
of six barges. A large part of the
pumphouse was knocked into the
Cumberland river. while a fine
launch belonging to Capt c. W.
Depp, late electrician at the peniten-
tiary, was practically ruined. The
loss on the pumphouse and machin-
cry is at least $4,000 and may go
higher. according TO prison officials.
while a conservative estimate of the
amage to the launch is $4,000. The
pumphouse supplies not only the
prison, but the city as well. Pract-
cally every family has resolved itself
into a bucket brigade. The inmates
of the Lyon county jail are being sup
piled in this primitive way. II is be-
lieved that the damage to the pump
house and the pumps cannot be re-
paired under two weeks and it may
take as much as three.
The pumphouse sets well up on the
banks OF the Cumberland when that
river is at ordinary stage, but just
now the Cumberland is at food tide
and practically surrounds the build
ing. although the latter was still able
to do its work. At the time Of the
accident the Clyde was coming down
the river and it is supposed that she
failed to reverse her engines in time
to prevent a collision with the pump
house. No one was hurt so far as
known. The Clyde lost two barges.
This is the first time in many years
that the pumphouse has been out OF
commission.

the town tree warden, sat down be-

him to pieces. A hole three feet deep
was made in the ground where he had
been sitting. The report of the explo-

who was contractor, had stick of
dynamite in his pocket and that when
he sat down it came in contact with a

When washing silk blouses never
rub soap on them or rub the silk be-
tween tho hands. Use soapsuds ana
put in little methylated spirits into

gloss to the silk. For tussore silk
use bran water in place Of soap
A pound Of bran should be well
boiled in two quarts Of water, strain
ed, and used for both washing and

drawn 10 the surface. but Richardson
never reeained consciousness and

satisfactory employment. Mr. Rich
