With such a big pipe it is necessary to keep the trench open from 200 to 500 feet ahead of tie laying gang in order to prevent them be’ unforseen obstructions that require spec: treatment, such as a rise or a dip in the pipe. With a sraaller main these maneuvers can be accomplished more easily, but with a four-foot ration of bending up or down from the general level requires a start some distance ahead of the obstacle. As soon as the work is fairly started and the “T” joint is inserted a force of seventy-five or ity men will be put on the trench and it i be dug ahead a square or two.

Kilrain is looking well; he is somewhat tanned owing to exposure on tho beach at Old Point. His eyes ave bright and his general appearance is that of a man in per- ‘is moustache, which was shaved off prior to his fight with Sullivan, is growing now, and altogether he resembles his appear- ance when he was trainer for the Ariel club, several seasons ago. two hundred pounds, Outwardly he bears no marks whatever of his recent encounter with Sullivan, and if he was injured the rest he has had and the surf bathing at Old Point th and 8th streets. ‘How do, Jake; ing surprised by ‘All right, Iam are now placed along R street as far as 14th, and a large quantity is also strung slong the Conduit road from the distributing reservoir, There is a sufficient supply on hand and in place to prevent any delays when the the work is started, as the remainder will undoubtedly be here by the time it is needed.

The President Takes His Departure in a Rain Storm. Baxaor, Mz., Aug. 14.—President Harrison left Bar Harbor in uncomfortable weather.

THE CROWD WAVED ITS GOOD BYE and the President was once more on the water and had fairly begun his trip toward Washing- ton. It whs just rawenough on the water to make everybody want to stay in- doors and the President set in the main saloon during the half hoar’s trip. Hancock point was reached about 9:15 and five minutes later the party was seated in the vestibule parlor cars in which it had traveled from Boston. The President's surroundings were of the most comfortable kind. The parlor cars, with all modern conveniences, were decorated with flowers from end to end. On the table were birch-bark canoes laden with flowers. The locomotive was trimmed with flowers and bunting. A stop for a minute was made at Ellsworth, the home of Senator Hale, and the President jumped to the platform and assisted Mrs. Hale to alight. A parting word and the train was off, making no stop until it reached Bangor at about 10:35 a.m. ee AN ELECTRIC LIGHT CONVENTION Talks Upon the Subject by Many Peo- ple—Officers Elected.

On the Trail of New and Important Facts in the Cronin Case. Curcaco, Aug. 14—Judging from the ac- tivity of lawyers and police officers and the consultations going on last night at the East Chicago avenue station and elsewhere it was evident that the prosecution in the Cronin case was on the trail of some new and import- ant facts and that arrests may be looked for at any time, luch more work bas been done by the po- lice than the public has been advised of and scarcelya day passes that some one is not quietly taken in and interrogated, es THE STATUE OF THE REPUBLIC. It is Decorated by the American Work- men in Paris. Pants, Aug. 14.—The Scripps expedition of American workingmen attracted a large crowd and caused great enthusiasm in the Marks square yesterday by placing a beautiful wreath upon the statue of the Republic. The token was four feet in diameter and composed of China asters and stocks fastened with the French and United States colors. M. Rosseau of the French committee, in attendance upon the American workingmen’s expedition, intro- duced Mr, Hugh Cavanagh of Ohio, who repre- sents shoemaking, to the 5,000 citizens assem- bled about the statue. Mr. Cavanagh said he stood in the presence of a statue second onl: to the Liberty in the United States. it called to mind the great sculptor of who had given the latter to us and also called to mind the part which the chivalrous French took in giving to the United States the liberty it enjoys. It was fitting that American workers should make this, their first public act,on French soil. Mr. Cavanagh's speech was heartily applauded. M. Livenais, of the attending committee, made a short speech. He said the French people were charmed that the people of the it sister American republic should pay this honor tothe itatue of France. He hoped that the two peo- _ would grow nearer and closer together. M. ivenais’ remarks were greeted with applause, which was followed by three rousing cheers. The ceremonies were preceded and succeeded by drives about the city. The expedition also ny a dinner st the Grand hotel to the mem- ra of tho French committee, | BOULANGER SENTENCED.
