M. 0, A.a Victim of Typhoid Fever. i A SHOCK T0 THE COMMUNITY Eight Years of Active and fuccess- ful Work in Washington. —— FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS James E. Pugh, general secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association,died yes- terday afternoon at the home of his broth- er-in-law, H. W. Olmsted, 2108 Ward place. The news of his death was received by his friends with the shock of a sudden surprise. Mr. Pugh had been sick only about two weeks, and when he was first ill the doc- tors thought that the trouble was typhoid malaria, but later on typhoid fever made its appearance. It was known that he was quite sick. It was not supposed, ho.vever, that he was in such extreme peril, espe- cially by those outside the immediate circle of his home. However, he seemed to ‘ack the rallying power requisite in such cases, and he gradually became weaker until yesterday, when he quietly passed away. It was thought that the fatal facility of the fever was largely due to the exhausted condition in which Mr. Pugh was after a ‘summer. of ar- duous work. He was always an_ indefat- igable worker, und last July, when the home of the associa- tion was destroyed by fire, Mr. Pugh's duties ‘were consid- erably increased. He threw himself nto the work of urging forward the move- ment for a new building, and with characteristic ardor attended to the va- rious details of pre- paring not only for the future, but adapt- ing the association and its work to the new conditions. His death will be a serious loss to the association and a personal bereavement to the large proportion of the officers and members. As the young men who «tre en- joying the benefits of the educational classes and others came to the temporary rooms of the association in the Lenman building last evening they saw upon the door the notice announcing the death of Mr. Pugh. It was a great blow, and the expressions of regard and esteem were heard on every side. The educattonal classes suspended their lessons for the evening and the rooms were closed. A meeting of the board of directors was held and resolutions were adopted, expressing regret at the death of Mr. Pugh, “whose Life,” the resolutions declared, “‘was that of an earnest Christian man, seeking to touch and Inspire young men to lead noble and useful lives. We feel that we have lost a personal friend and helper, the association an earnest and efficient officer and the community a useful citizen.” Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 9:15 at the Foundry Church, of which the deceased was a member. The pastor of the church, Dr. Oliver A. Brown, will officiate, and at the request of the board of directors, Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin of the Church of the Covenant and Dr. George Elliott, formerly of Foundry, will assist. The interment will be at Strouds- burg, where Mrs. Pugh lives. The honor- ary pallbearers will be S. W. Woodward, T. A. Harding, E. W. Woodruff, George Trues- del, William B. Gurley and J. C. Pratt. The active pallbearers have been selecte] frem the members of the association as fol- lows: Charles F. Nesbit, J. W. Crawford, J. S. Parker, W. S. McArthur, E. A. Beekman ard Charlies H. Chase. The ushers at the churck will be in charge of W. B. Mat- thews, and will be as follows: George S. Gibson, George Cahill and A. B. Leet. There will be handsome floral tributes con- tributed by the members of the association, and also by the board of managers. The work in the educational classes will be resumed Monday, and on Sunday after- roon the Gospel meeting will be held as usual. air. Pugh was born forty-two years ago at Kingston, Canada. After leaving school he was traveling buyer for a drug estab- lishment, and he also studied mechanical ergineering. When quite a young man he came to this country and was naturalized. For some years he lived in Stroudsburg, Pa., and fifteen years ago he was married to Miss Alice M. Burnett of that place, who survives him. He had always taken a live- ly interest in religious work among the young, and when the opportunity presented itself he left his secular calling and devoted jsimself to religious work. This opportunity ame when in 18ST he was offered the posi- tion of financial secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in this city. At the end of a year he was appointed general secretary, and held the place from that time until his death. Un- der his management.the work of the asso- ciation has broadened, especially in the educational lines, and the membership has largely increased. He encouraged all sorts of healthy sport, and the athletic depart- ment of the association became of increas- ing importance. In addition to his execu- tive ability, Mr. Pugh had a personal mag- retism, which made him an influence among young men. . Choosing a Successor.* > An indication of the high esteem with which Mr. Pugh was regarded by the board of managers was shown at the special meeting of tHe board, which was hastily called together lest evening, and which was attended by every member of the board with the exception of Mr. B. H. Warner, who is out of the city. The duty of choos- ing a successor for Mr. Pugh devolves upon the board of directors, and the mem- bers realize that it will be a difficult thing to do. It is probable that no definite ac- tion will be taken in this direction for some time, as it is the desire of the members of the board to secure the best possible mam to fill the vacancy, and they realize that such a man {s not easy to find. Mr. Woodward's Tribute. Mr. S. W. Woodward, who is vicé presi- dent of the association, and actively iden- tified with the work of the association, in speaking of Mr. Pugh today to a Star re- porter, said: “In the past ten years I have become very much attached to Mr. Pugh, because of the manliness of his Christian character, of the untiring zeal and devo- tion to his work and of the absolute conse- cration of his Iife to the work of uplifting and saving young men. The results of his devotion and consecration have for a long time been evident in all the branches of the work of the asscciation; first, in the extraordinarily large number of young men which we were able to hold as members of the association, notwithstanding the lack of suitable accommodations, and second, in the strong spiritual influence which Mr. Pugh exerted over the young men, which is Indicated by the large number who have of late years shown evidence of a sincere change of heart by radical change in their lives and by presenting themselves to the various churches of the. city for member- ship. “f feel a sense of personal loss difficult to express, and cannot now see haw the as- sociation will fill his place. I believe his influence will be felt and must be shown in the words and actions of many young men yet to come into the active duties of life. His memory will ever be a precious ‘one to me, and I am sure also to the mem- bers of the board of directors.” Taggart’s Majority 3,722. The returning board of Indianapolis at 11 o'clock last night finished counting the votes cast yesterday. Thomas Taggart, dcmocrat, was elected by a majority of Charles Stuckmeyer, democrat, was elected city clerk by a majority of 1,117. The majority of Charles Cox for police judge was 1,018.

Appropriations Made for Salaries and Expenses — Business Pransacted Today and Yesterday. Undiminished interest in. the proceedings marked the third day of the sixteenth annual session of the Knights of the Golden Eagle, which was called to order at 9 o'clock this morning in, the red parlor of the Ebbitt House. The first business of the day was a report of,4he committee appointed to consider the anual report of the supreme chief. As @ result of the recommendations of Supreme Chief Aull the minimum initiation fea\in jurisdictions of the order under Supreme Castle was changed from $ to %3.- A recommenda- tion was approved for. the establishment of a national castle, by which. members of defunct custles will retain member- ship in the order on the payment of cer- tain dues and per capita taxes to Supreme Castle officers who have charge of the same and who are authorized to pay week- ly and funeral benefits to such members. It was agreed to remove the office of the Supreme Castle in Philadelphia to the new building of the Grand Castle of Pennsyl- vania, §14-816 Broad street. “*The Knights of the Golden Eagle” was continued as the oftictal organ of the Supreme Castle, and $250 appropriated for subscriptions. It was decided that when sufficient castles are organized the ritual of the order be trans- lated into Spanish. Appropriations Made. The fee or premium of._$15 for the organi- zation of new castles was continued, and the following appropriations made: Travel- ing expenses of the supreme chief and the instituting of castles under the Supreme Castle, $1,000; salary of supreme master of records, $1,200; salary of supreme keeper of exchequer, $200; supplies, $3,000; printing and stationery, $1,000; mileage, $700; ex- penses of session at Washington, $25 cidentals, $2,000; rent of office and expenses of same, $00... Appropriations for the military branch: Expenses of lieutenant general, $300; salary of adjutant general, $100; salary of assis ant adjutant general, $50; printing, postage and incidentals, $200; supplies, $200. The castle voted to confer the honors cf pest’grand templar upon fourteen afficers of the grand’temples, Ladies of the Golden Eagle of Ohio and New Jersey, at the ex- piration of their present terms of office. These temples were but recently instituted. ‘The Next Meeting. After recess the installation of the new officers glected yesterday took place. It was not known this afternoon whether or not a session would be held this evening. The Supreme Castle will finally adjourn to- morrow. It is expected that the place for the next annual meeting will be chosen Jate this afternoon. The western, delegates intend to make a strong fight for the honor, but there is a possibility of the session again being held in the east. Reading, Pa., is mentioned prominently, and the Pennayl- vania division, which is the strongest in the order, will undoubtedly furnish urani- mous support to that city. - Question of Taxation. , At the session yesterday afternoon the much-disputed question of taxation was de- ctéed. Instead of adopting the proposed amendment providing that each member of the order pay 4 cents a year, instead of the payment of $200 a year by each jurisdiction, regardless of the number of its members, the supreme castle voted that hereafter all jurisdictions having more than 2,000 mem- bers shall pay $400, and all‘ jurisdictions having less than 2,000 shall! spay 5 cents per capita. mallee: . A motion that the sessions of ‘the supreme body be held biennially in the future in- stead of anuually was laid onthe table in- definitely. . oe 2 New Officers. As was intimated, the election of officers, which occurred late in the:afternoon, was Probably the most spirited contest in the history of the order. With fhe exception of the Meutenant general, who is the head of the military branch of thé order, the officers were chosen for a term of one year. The election resulted as follows: Supreme chief, A. C. Lyttle of Pennsylvania; su- preme vice chief, W. Oscar Brown of Dela- ware; supreme sir herald, Ansoa S. Mc- Nabb of New York; supreme high prigst, Arthur H. Alexander of Ohio; supreme keeper of exchequer, Timothy M. McCarthy of Fennsylvania; supreme master of r ords, William Culbertson of Pennsylvania; supreme fir-t guardsman, W. W. Canada of Indiana; supreme second guardsman, How- ard Winslow of Maine; supreme medical ex- aminer, James E. Whitford of Maryland; Heutenant general of military branch, H. P. Reinecke of Pennsylvania. . —___ To Hold Memorial Services. Lincoln Post, No. 3, G. A. R., has ar- ranged to hold the annual memorial service of the post at Grand Army Hall at 2:30 next Sunday afternoon, and has invited the department commander and his staff to be present. THE WATER SUPPLY Benefits From Using the Receiving Reservoir. ne HOW HE WATER IS CLARIFIED Major Knight Makes a Report on the Aqueduct. RAISING THE DAM The chief of engineers has received a re- port from Maj. Knight in regard to the op- erations on the Washingtcn aqueduct and auxiliaries during the month of September. It has been supposed, he says, that much sedimentary material would be deposited from the Potomac water in its transit through the conduit and two reservoirs to the mains Since the receiving reservoir was put in service, July 27, 1895, no oppor- tunity for verifying this supposition oc- curred until September 7. According to the scale for recording the condition of the water, the numbers 0 to 7, inclusive, corre- spond to very turbid water; 8-14, turbid; 15-21, slightly turbid, and 22-36, clear. The following is the recorded condition of the water at Great Falls and at its entrance to the mains for the dates specified: +16 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Great Falls........]36 16 2 2 2 2 6 16 Distributing Reservolr........... | 36 36 36 36 36 36 22 18 September. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Great Falls........ | 82 36 86 36 36 36 36 36 Distributing Reservoir. «.|18 17 17 18 22 25 31 36 It thus appears that five days of very turbid water at Great Falls caused five days of but slightly turbid water at the mains, The Conduit Gates. Major Knight says it has been impossible fcr an indefinite period to work two of the ircn gates regulating the flow of water into the con-‘luit at Great Falls. The water was shut off September 24, to enable the removal of deposits from the conduit to be continued, and this opportunity was taken to drill holes into the gates and partially prepare to break them out, when the con- duit is again emptied. At the same time leakage about the frames of gates in waste weir No. 2 was reduced by using pine frames were found in good . The upper brick coruers and a capstone were renewed at culvert No. 9. Repairs to the wooden bridge crossing the spillway of the receiving reservoir were completed, and repairs were started on the woodwork of the roadway of the Pennsyl- vania avenue bridge. The latter bridge has been closed to prevent accidents. It is ex- pected to complete repairs to this bridge this month. a The approved project for removing de- posits from the conduit contemplates emp- tying the conduit as cften as is considered advisable, loosening up the deposits and sluicing them out through the waste gates. Water was shut off from the conduit, and the gates at waste weirs 1 and 2 opened at 1 o'clock p.m., September 23. Cleaning commenced at 7 a.m. the next day, and was continued sixteen hours, until 11 p.m.,when gates at waste weir No. 1 were closed and flushing commer.ced. Flushing continued fcr seven hours. The inlet to the conduit, as far as the Great Falls gate house, were troroughly cleaned, as well as about 2,000 feet between manholes 46 and 51. The de- posit ran from ten to twenty inches in depth. Taken from the conduit, it was shoveled into tubs, which in turn were wheeled to manholes and then raised and emptied outside of the conduit. The cost of this method was between 5 and 6 cents per foot of conduit cleaned. It is more ex- pensive than the method previously tried, but is regarded as more effective, especially for parts of the conduit far distant from outlets. The total cost, however, will be much less than the appropriation for the work, but it will probably not be possible to complete the work this fiscal year, inas- much as the cleaning of the conduit cannot ccntinue for more than two days at any one time, on account of the rapid reduction of the amount. of water stored in the reservoirs, and because it cannot be re- sumed until this reduction has been made gcod. During the September operations water in the receiving reservoir was lower- ed 29 feet, and in the distributing reservoir, 2.55 feet, in the case of the latter falling to 3.07 feet below its full stage. Six days later the water rose 1.58 feet. Increasing the Water Supply. Good progress is reported in the project for increasing the water supply of Wash- ington by raising the height of the dam at Great Falls 2 1-2 feet. There are now 973 stcnes at Great Falls for this work. They were quarried and cut at Seneca. The cop- ing has been removed from the section of the dam crossing Conn’s Island. Bench marks have been established and a railroad track has been laid across Conn's Island. The contract for setting up a suspension cableway for raising Virginia channel sec- tions of che dam requires fis completion November 4 next. Authority was received to pay $15,000 to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canai Company, upon the condition that the canal authorities release the United States from all claims for damages to the canal embankment and tow path by the raising of the dam. 2 Testing the Tunnel. The final report of the work of testing the tunnel conduit was submitted Septem- ber 26. The project was to pump out the tunnel, close the four easterly shafts and then fill the tunnel with water. The amount appropriated for this test wa $25,000. Its actual cost was $17,270.39, During the month borings were continued about the Howard University reservoir, and a study was made of details on the subject of ad- ditional water supply by completing the tunnel conduit or otherwise. This work will be continued during the present month. Maj. Knight says that he turned over ali the works in his charge to Maj. C. E. L. B. Davis September 30, with the exception of the work pertaining to the test of the tun- nel conduit and its possible use in increas- ing the water supply of the District. Maj. Knight's report in regard go the tunnel will not be made public until after its transmission to Congress. —_—_—__+-e+____ To Fortress Monroe.

A Housebreaker Who Came Near Los- ing His Life. Persons living in the neighborhood of ist and C streets were startled about 1 o'clock this morning by the report of a pistol shot. and it was supposed that a murder had been committed. A number of residents left their beds and went to ascertain the cause of the firing, and several of Lieut. Kelly’s officers were soon upon the scene. It was learned that nobody had been killed, and that the shot had been fired by an of- ficer in his efforts to apprehend a colored burglar and protect the property of a resi- Special Policeman Loughman, who was once a member of the force, had fired the shot. but as he fired through the window. lis bullet did not do the work intended, anal ste (burglar, who was in the act of e in Clem " Popbiog ents’ grocery store, An entrance had been effected through the cellar by climbing through the ventl- lating hole. Once in the cellar, the burglar had no trouble in getting in the store. Then he extinguished the gas light and opened the rear door to make escape easy. Having thus- paved his way to freedom in event of his being detected, the burglar got the meat cleaver and was making an effort to open the money drawer. An Error of Judgment. He had selected 1 o'clock as the time for doing this, for he knew that the policemen would be at or near the patrol boxes then, and he would have an easy time. But the special policeman happened to come along at the right time, and while he was trying the door of Conror’s saloon, he heerd a noise in the grosery store ad- joining. When he looked in through the window ard saw the burglar, the latter alzo saw him, and started toward the back door. The policeman was then certain that he could not capture him except by disabling him, and this he endeavored to do by using his pistol. Soon after firing the shot, the policeman made an investigation of the premises, but eould not find where the bullet had lcdged, and he has an idea that the piece of lead may have taken effect in the burg- lar. It is thought that this Is the burglar who is causing the officers so much uneasiness in different sections of the city, and who has been cornered twicg and not captured. KILLED BY AN EXPLOSI Frightful Death in Texas of Charles D. Cardozo of This City. Mr. C. P. Cardozo of 611 6th street north- west was informed last evening by telegraph of the death of his sor, Charles D. Cardozo, as the result of a frightful accident at Cor- sicana, Bexas, yesterday afternoon. The deceased, who was well-known in this city, was forty years of age and unmarried. For seventeen years past he had been in the employ of Gilmore & Yale, theatrical man- agers of Philadelphia. Under the name of Harry Coolage he was on the road with the “Devil's Auction’ Company as master of transportation and manager of the cal- cium lights. The company reached Corsi- cana yesterday, and Cardozo was superin- tending the preparations for the evening performance. Some doubt was raised as to whether or not 4 cylinder contained black gas, and, at the suggestion of a bystander, Cardozo struck a match and applied it to the opening of the cylinder. A terrible ex- plesion followed instantly, causing much damage to the opera house and instantly killing Cardozo. The explosion occasioned gieat excitement in Corsicana. Cardozo left this city August § last, after paying a long visit to his parents. His father received a letter from him yesterday, and immediately mailed an answer. A few hours later the telegram announced the death. Directiors were wired to Corsicana to have the remains expressed to this city at once, but a reply notified the grief- stricken parents that the body was so frightfully mangled that it would be neces- sary to make’ interment in the Texas city. Tke mother of the deceased was completely prcstrated at the new —_—_ THE COURTS. Court of Appeals—Present, the Chief Jus- tice, Mr. Justice Morris end Mr. Jus- tice Shepard.
