The Water Works Send Up Six Solid Stecams From Different Points at Once. Other Exhibits Made in the Pres- ence of Officials and Citizens, A Look at the Machinery. Yestorday was a groat one for Couneil Bluffs, it being the time set for the test- ing of the water works. At about 11 o'clock in the morning the city officials, the county board of supervisors, repre sentatives of the press, and others, gath- ored at the city building and from there took carriages for the pumping works, whero they were shown the machinery and the general arrangement, under the guidance of those interested in the com- pany. Questions were answered, the workings explained to those who did not fully understand them, and the visitors had an excellent chance~to watch the big pumps as they did their work like giants at their ease. A glance at the register showed that with all the appar- ent oase of movement, the machinery moving as smoothly as though of velvet, there was being pumped about 2,000 gal- lons every minute, or at the rate of be- between three and four million gallons a day. All this mighty volume of water was being sent through the iron arteries and veins all over the city, there being about 23 miles of mains for the water to trail through, and yot all was moving as though it was the lightest bit of pastime, The visitors were particularly pleasod with the machinery, all being in dupli- cate, an assurance that in any event the works could run, despite accidents. The porfect finish, the thoroughness of the work, have all attracted attention and comment before, After viewing the huge reservoirs, the company proceeded to the river to view the viaduct and mouth. There was lit- tle to be seen by them but ice and sand, however. The real intcrest and excitement of the day contered in the public tosts given. This not on'y interested the officials and committees, but large numbers of outside citizens and visitors from abroad, who gathered about each hydrant, and overy stream thrown into the air had a crowd of eager watchers, and every timo that the water went skyward a little higher than was expected, exclamations of ad- miration wore heard on all sides. It was amusing to hear the comments, and the estimates of distance, they varying greatly. There was a striking unanimity 1n the opinions in one respect, however. No matter how much difference of esti- mates as to heights and distancos, all ex- pressions were to the effect that the water works was cortainly in shape to furnish all the water and all the power needed, even in case of an extraordinary fire, The tests required under the con- tract with the city were various, but the company submitted to much more than was required, One of the tests was that there should be six streams from six different hydrants in the business part of the city, thrown to the height of one hundred feet, at the samo time, the streams to be thrown through one inch nozzles. The hydrants selected, instead of being in the business portion of the city, were scattered from one extremity to the other, one being near the hock lsland depot, one near the old Wabash depot, one near Stewart's cking house, one near the Hall school uilding, one near George Keeline's and ono by the Pacific house. At each of these hydrants was sta- tioned one alderman and a committee of citizens. Tue Bek had an observer sta- tioned in Fairmount park, the highest point in the city, and with the aid of a field glass all details could be brought to him, whilo with the naked eye the six streams could all bo seen at one time, a most beautiful sight indeed. The wind was strong and very unfavorable for a good test, the breeze bui-:f strong enough to break the streams and sending them into spray when reaching a great height. As soen from Fairmount park the streams seemed, nevertheless, quite solid and strong, That at the Hall school build- ing soomed the bost, it climbing up to dizzy hight, while the eye swept toward the south onto the more open land where there was nothing to break the wind, the streams seemed not so good. The stroams as seen from the location of the hydrants were in some respects more satisfactory than from the park, That at the Pacific house was watched by & large crowd, and admired greatly. It turned far above the hotel, and went flying over the ball on the tij« topof the flag stal of the Nonpareil building. This stream, like the others, wasa fine one, but yet was thrown under disadvantages. Aside from the faot of the -tron;; wind, the nozzle was an inch and a half one, instead of an one inch, The nozzles used at the other points were also a quarter of aninch larger than the contract called for, but there were no one inch nozzles to be used, and so the oo:rmy submitted to this additional turden, The streams thrown at the other points were estimated to be fully ulp'to the requirement, and thoso who claimed that they fell short, admitted that the difference in the size of the nozzles would more than account for it Another set of six hydrants was then $osted in a similar manner, six streams at once. One of these streams was at Hoff- mayer's mills, It was a beauty, and went up over the wg of that high build- ing, ono of the highest in the city, the stream being overa hundred feet. At the city jail anothor fine stream was thrown, and the other four were even better than on the test of the first six hydrants. The third test was to throw two streams simultaneously from the highest E.omt in the city fifty feet into the air, 'he company submitted to trying three chosen were Fairview cemetery, at th high school and at the last h'dr:m ul: Firet street. This was su. ully done :lh:l'm‘ Hn.:h t!u':u'“h school, the” high- poinf e city, fully fifty i the air. That at Fairyiow cometors, wis 4 a view cemetery was not so high a point, and hence 11 bet- tor stream was thrown there, and on|" Bouth First streot the stream went up u;.enty feet. posite Bayliss' park, the smal main in the city. Two powerful streams were throw from this at one time, the twin streams climbing up into the air a height of about eighty feet, it heing high Pplaces at once’instead of two, The places | =~ 'hen there was a test ntuhfidnmt op- ) ost sized | - enough to wet the top of the Bloomer achool lvuildin&npirfl. Alderman Wood was anxious to sce how much of a stream could be put through one thousand feet of hose, and accordingly this requost was complied with, nnfi {mnu being thus laid, a grand stroam was thrown over the court house, | drenching its new roof down nicely. The numerous tests showed conclu- sively that thero is no building in Coun- cil Bluffs but what a strong stream can be thrown over i'. Asto the height thrown yosterday there were various estimates. City Engineer Tostevin is the only man thus far heard from who took angthing likc accurate measuro- ments. He measured the stream at the hydrant on Sixteenth avenue and found it to reach & height of 105 foet, and oth- er measurements taken by him were likewise satisfactory. The water works company may well feel proud of the day's trials. The works wore not strained ecither. A glance at the indicator in the city building showed the press to be 120 at the pumping house, and ordinary figure, considering the fact that, if needed, 160 pounds pressure can be put on, It is to be regrotted that Mr. Hopkins, the president of the construction com- pany, could not have been here to see for imself the satisfaction which the tests gave. Mr. Harry Birbinkine, the engi- neer, who has done s) valiantly in over- coming many obstacles, showed his usual courtesy yesterday in arranging details and complying with requests. Mr. W 8. Bolton, the engineer of the Knowles pumping works, was on hand to look after the Knowles pumps used in the works here. The official reports of the several com- mittees will not be put in tabulated form and made public for some days yet, but whatever their figures may be, the public was protty well satisfied, yesterday, that water works which are_ablo to fight six i fires at once, in different parts of the city, is about what Council Bluffs has needed, and what it has now got. Last evening fifty leading citizons of Council Bluffs joined in a telegram to Mr. Hopkins, of New York, president of the company, congratulating him upon the successful test of the water works. (| - —— A FRISKY FORGER. He Gets Cash On Two Ohecks and Then Skips Out. A man went into the grocery store on the corner of Broadway and Madison street, late on Wednesday evening, and bought groceries to the amount of four dollars, and in payment of the same pre- sented a check for 815, purporting to be signed by Deere, Wells & Co., and ask- ing the grocer to send the goods to his residence. Upon his claiming to be an employeo of the above firm, the grocer gave him $11 in exchange for what proved to be, upon the opening of the bank yesterday morning, a forgery. The man then went into the Broadway meat market and ordered two hams to be delivered at_his house carly yestorday morning, and again offered a check. The butcher being unable to give the neces- sary $14 due in exchange, kindly con- nted to hand out all he had in the storo—$0 in cash—and the individual, very thankful for this small favor, con- sented to call in the morning for the balance. The butcher is waiting—we expect with a cleaver in his hand—to find this fellow, but in all probability he has skipped out. No goods were deliv- ered in either case, but the money was. Messrs. Doere, Wells & Co. have no idea who the person was who took the liberty of presenting these forged checks. — THE COUNTY BOARD. The Bonds Fixed Upon for the New Court Housc, At the meeting of the county board yosterday morning the perplexing bond question was fixed up. It was decided that the best plan would be to fssue $160,000 of bonds for the new court house, and $40,000 for the new jail, the bonds to run ten yoars, the rate of inter- est to bo B} per cent. No special levy will be made for the first five years ox- vopt, to moat intorost, and (hen tho tax will bo made sufficient to take up $40,000 of the bonds cach year till all are paid off, This proposition il bo submitted t the peoplo to vote on besides that of the quastion of whother the buildings shall be put up. —— Craigmile Caught. Last ovening James H, Craigmile, bag- gagemaster on the bridge division of the U. P. railroad, was united in wedlock to Miss Myra, daughter of Judge Abbott, by the Rev. Mr. Mackay,at the residence of the bride’s parents. The newly united couplo leave to-day on an eastern tour, and take with them the well-wishes of many friends. Mr, Craigmile is an esti- mable young man, who has been in the service of the baggage department of the Union Pacific for some time, Tur Bek congratulates him on his good fortune. e — Private lessons on china given by 8.
