der this morning. We will have
enough water to let everybody in
town water their lawns from morn
ing to night We have enough water
to supply city of $4,000 if not
larger"
The reservoirs will be cleaned to-
night and the water turned in to
replace the Gunnison fluid. All the
Gunnison water in the mains will be
out in few hour.
Pressur Not Changed.
The pressure of the water will not
vary greatly from that now in use,
except that 1t will be constant pres
sure, and will not vary as with the
present pumping system. The water
will gain pressure from the reser-
voirs. Water Commissioner B. w.
Vedder announced that he will keep
one of the pumps ready at the
boiler house on the Gunnison for
three months in case something
should go wrong with the system.
Started Sept. >, 1911.
Work on the system was commenc-
ed by MIR. Vedder on Sept. ;, 1911,

gan on the dam and headgates on
the upper Hannah Creek part. Ow-
ing to cold weather the crew was
laid off on December is, and went
to work again on February s., An
elaborate system, simple but effect
i've of filtration, was completed early
and the ditch digger put to work dig
ging the trench for the pipe. Some
nine miles of iron pipe were laid, fol-
lowed by wooden pipe laid for IL
miles.
Bonds Sold at %.
Probably the greatest bond issue
in the history of the city was bought
up for the construction of this line.
Bids were advertised and the first Of
fer was sic, a premium of &c on
every dollar of the s450.000. The
offer was refused and later L. II. Rol-
Inns 4 Company of Boston took the
entire issue at 97c. The first money
received -S275. 5.OOO-was paid out to
the holders of the water rights on
Hannah Creek, which sum was
awarded them after hard fought
court proceedings. The money then
came in 100000 monthly payments.
Commissioner Vedder has not yet
figured the cost of the system, but
authoritatively states that there will
be several thousand. dollars left.

Denied ardon

Patrick Deyine, who was sem
fenced to from 30 to % years in
Canon City from this county in
1905, for murder, will have to
serve his sentence. This morn
ing the state pardon board an
nounced that ii had decided not
to interfere with the term i'm
posed by the court.
Divine is now clerk of the
road camp in Plateau canon
above PaIisade and last night en-
pressed himself rs being very
optimistic of having his sentence
committed.
Divine was a section laborer at-the
quarrel with James Duffy, who was
a barber in the office of the StaI
rooming house. owned by William
Grady on Colorado avenue
The men had few words and De.
vine left the house, returning about
$3.50 in the evening. He walked tc
within few feet of Duffy. and. with
out warning, shot him through the
heart. This was on Sunday night
Jan. 10, 1905.

ed six weeks later. He was defend
ed by Henry R. Rhone and was pros.
ecuted by District Attorney Hugo
Selig, assisted by Guy V. Sternberg
He was found guilty by the jury. and
Judge Theron Stevens pronounced a
sentence of from 20 to 25 years or
him.
Divine has won the confidence OF
the penitentiary officers during his
Incarceration, and has been a trusty
for several years. He claims to have
letters from Judge Stevens and Mr.
Selig which are highly commendatory
and favor the commutation of his
sentence by the pardon board. Divine
is not we'll known here, except by
those who recall his crime, trial and
sentence.

Washington, July 6.-Representa'
tive Norris of Nebraska, progressive

vassed by the secretary Of the interior,
would become the nominee of his
party.
No action by the convention In re-
gard to the nominee would be neces-
sary unless none Of the candidates re-
.ceived q majority, in which case the
convention would nominate.
The bill would not 60 into effect UNI
til its provisions had been accepted
and laws in conformity with 1t passed

Hospitals Quickly FILLED
Nurse and Children
Killed.

LaTrobe, Pa, July 6.-Twenty-one
persons were killed and 80 injured, 0
number fatally, as a result OF wreck
on the Hgonier Valley railroad at
Wilpen.
An overloaded passenger coach
pushed by an engine. was struck by o
double header freight train OF coal

but one aboard the train.
The passenger train had started
from Ligonier. II consisted Of an en-
CINE and coach. the engine pushing the
coach. The freight train was made
up Of many coal cars and was being
pulled by two heavy locomotives.
A Terrific Crash.
The impact was terrific. The pas
senger coach practically was laid open
ard the passengers either crushed OF
thrown through the air.
A majority Of the injured we're resi-
dents along the Wilpen branch. They
we're brought to hospital here, OF
sent to hospitals at Pittsburgh when
it was found they we're in a critical
condition.
The train was well crowded, every
seat in the lone coach being occupied.
Death In a Wooden Coach.
The freight engines ploughed
through the wooden coach, crushing
It as it would paper. All the occupants
were hurled to the roadbed. Some fell
In the path of the onrushing engines,
while others were imbedded partly In
the cinders and crushed stones beside
the rails.
The first engine of the freight train
stopped soon after tearing through
the passenger train, turned half way
around and fell over on its side. The
engineer, McConnaughey, was scalded
to DEATH while his fireman, George
Byers, jumped, only to fall on the
track and meet death under the
wheels. Smith P. Beatty, engineer OF
the second engine, jumped and suf-
fered a broken leg. His fireman, John

we're severed and he died on the way

was taking to the woods near Wilpen
for an afternoons outing.
The Pennsylvania railroad, OF which
the Ligonier 10 branch, sent q spe-
cial train from Pittsburg to LaTrobe
to take some Of the injured from the
overtaxed hospital here to Pittsburgh.
