THE SUBJECT DISCUSSED AT YESTERDAY'S SESSION Of the Citv Water Baa.-d - CjusoiI »3 Be Asked U Order a Carefal Investigation of the Whole Matter. The City Water Board held a rather im portant meeting yesterday. The session was railed for the transaction of routine business, but while the members were together, the general subject of the water supply of the city came up. and was dis cussed for quite a while. As has been heretofore set forth in the Reoistek, the members of the Board, in common with other well-informed people, are convinced that with the completion of the new reservoir, the city will be con fronted with the necessity of purchasing and placing in i>ositioii new pumping machinery. This idea was the key note of yesterday's discussion in the Board, iind it was determined that the time had conic to look at the matter carefully and intelligently, and to this end a resolution was passed, for submission to Council at its next meeting, authorizing the Water Hoard and the Council Committee on Water Works to hold a joint session and take steps to have a careful inquiry set on foot, embracing in its details an examination of river water, tuken from various points, by competent chemical authority, and the preparation of an estimate, by some engineer of standing in his profession, as to the cost of the ; erection of the new pumping machinery deemed to be indispensable, at a point to lie hereafter decided upon. The prejia ration of such a re[><>rt is expected to consume a I considerable amount of time, but it is , hoped the data will be in the bands of the Board and Council early io» the coming autumn. After the adjournment of the Board a member of the body said to a Kki.istek reporter: •There is uo doubt but that new pump-i Ing machinery must be purchased before ' the new reservoir can be used, aud 1 can , prove the statement in a very short time, j The two old pumps can each put about 1.000. 000 gallons a day in the present reser voir. but are not equal to pumping 100 feet higher to the top or the hill. The two other pumps, one capable ol pumping 4,000,000 | gallons and the other 8,000,000 gallons to; the present reservoir, or a total of 7,000,000 gallons, cannot be expected at the outside, to do more thau two-thirds of that work when suited to pump to the hill top. Let us say they together will I pump 4,500,000 gallons per day. Now, | the 1‘onsumption of the city is 5,700,000 or j 0,000,000 gallons a day, leaving a deficiency i —which must grow with every year—to lie I supplied bv new machinery. The city ought to have two 10,000.000 pumps, or one 10.000. 000 and one 7,000.000. and now is the accepted time t<> get them. Council will , do well to order the enquiry we shall ask fiir, and give the jioople all the light possi- j ble on the subject." *T THE KESEKVOlil. Ip at the uew reservoir Superintendent Cummins has a foreo of men at work tak ing up the inlet pipe laid down last sum mer, and will drop it down to the bottom of the reservoir, thus saving a height of eleven feet in pumping the water —a very considerable saving. Contractor Chisholm is making good progress in the work of enlarging and rc eonstrueting the reservoir, and one can hardly recognize the brick lined excavation of last year. ANOTHER HOT DAY. The Mercury Once More Touches !*H De grees. Yesterday was another day well calcula ted to try the physical man. The mercury went to W5 degrees ut 11 a. m., and re mained above that tiguiv until nearly *'• p. ui., at 1:1:30 marking Its, the extreme limit of Sundav. During the afternoon the sky clouded up at times, preventing the niereu rv reaching the 1U0 degrees most every one looked for. and about «'• p m. there was a fair outlook for rain, but the storm clouds, after droppiug u slight shower up Indian Wheeling creek, back of Bridgeport, were carried off up the river by the south wind. About s o’clock there was a storm east of the eitv. the lightning in that quarter beiug frequent and vivid. Following is the record of the day, as ob served by Sehnepf: IS 111. ri ;» j>. in. ijp .. 7 p. in *p. w. i’p">.. Just at midnight last night a few drops of rain fell, but there were hut slight indi cations of even a moderate shower. During vesterdav afternoon Mr. K. II. ! List, the "druggist, put a thermometer, scaled to 13), out in the sun. The result j was the mercurv went to the extreme top : of the tube, anil dually broke the instru ment.

WHAT IS IT ? \u>l W Imt I* the Wheeling Terminal Com pany «*ning to llo? The Wheeling Terminal Co. was incor porated yesterday bv Seeretary of State < Ihley. Its object is the building of a rail road'from a ixiint in Wheeling to the town of Fulton. Ohio. The capital stork Is one I million dollars * hailftnu h'nzfttr. An oflleial of the Wheeling Bridge and I Terminal Company was wrn last evening concerning the above item, and said be I know nothing of such a company at all; I that it had no connection with their eom i i«»nv. and. as far us tie was eoneenic<l, he eonidn't imagine what the statement meant It is more than likely that the Wheeling Terminal Coni|iany has some connection I with the purchase of lauds on the Island, about which so much conjecture has been ] made lately. A gentleman interested in the purchase of the laud spoken o( said | the other day that he could tell a good story about the matter, but he wouldn't. There ! is no ilnubt some big deal is on H (■ laaraad that agnats representing •sime railroad company have been doing Mime work In ascertaining what certain Market House Alley property owners would take for their property Anyway, the whole matter looks quite Ynndcrbilty. TIIK C tRI’EMERS MKKT Anil Vote to I lliht Out the Strike to the A >per ial meeting of Carpenter’s ITiiou. No :i. was held last evening at Trades As sembly Hall, and there was a good at 1 tendance of members, as a very im|>ortant ■ matter was to bo decided whether the men would return to work or still hold out. 1 There was a geod deal of excitement among 1 the members, because it was a very de cisive point. But when the vote was taken it was decided to stand Arm and tight it j out. One of the carpenters said last even ing: -There aiv only a few among us who I want to give up. but I felt a little dubious \ last evening and was surprised to see how the men stood by their obligation. Only about rive or six voted to go to work with ; the non-union men. Wo would all bo will ing to return to work if tho non-union men ; now employed arc disposed of, but we will 1 never return as long as they are retained. We would bo foolish to return to work now when we could have gotten better i tortus six months ago.” Jr. O. It. A. M. Funeral Sutlfr.

A BAD IXJl’RY A Tonat Mail Hut III* Spine Dislocated in a Mine. | Yesterday morning a young man named | JosephWat’son met with an accident in the j Riverside coal mines at the upper River-' side mill, which may result fatally. Young i Watson was u new man, and was employed as a driver. When the accident occurred he was making his fourth trip out of the [nines. He was sitting on a ear and was compelled to bend over very low at places I owing to the unevenness of the roof. One ' place especially he had been | warned against on account of a stone sticking out some distance, but he must have forgotten the warning, be , cause the stone caught him on the shoulder, ! and the mules continuing to pull the cars along, Watson was twisted around in a terrible manner before he was released. His cries brought workmen to his assist ance, and the unfortunate young man was taken to the residence of his sister. Mrs Davis, on Twentv-uinth street, with whom he lives Dr. Ford attended him and found the spine badly dislocated, so much so that complete paralysis of the lower part of the body and limbs resulted, and at last reports Watson was lying in that condi- i tion. He is nineteen years of age and un . married. KIYKK KIITI.K.S. Noli** of Interest About Steamboats uml Sli-nuiliout uii'ii. j The river was down to 19 inches, last evening, and still coming down.
