million gallons of water and will be ten times larger than any In this section. With this immense amount of water it is supposed that at Camp Hill fire hydrants will have fifty pounds of pressure. The pumping station at Bridgeport will be abandoned as will the Fort Washington reservoir. It is stated that the cost of the proposed changes will be $50,000. At a meeting of the town council of Camp Hill held last winter, President Russ, of the water company, stated that a filter plant was the only thing that would relieve the situation, but as there were not enough consumers of water in the territory and the cost of a flJter plant would be about $150,000, the company would not be justified in investing the additional capital, while Engineer Piatt, who was present for Mr.

Russ, stated that the mountain water could not be run to that point by gravity. But when a number of typhoid fever cases were reported to the health authorities last spring, it was not long until the water company set about to make plans for other water. Engineer Ennis stated last evening after visiting the present mount tain reservoir, that the proposed reservoir will no doubt have to be built on a different plan, as the water that the people are using here today, although of the finest kind, is turbid and discolored on account of the bottom of the reservoir not being cemented and there being no bypass in it to convey the pure water to the main instead of the turbid water.

New York, Sept. 17. After Harry Becker had been killed and Samuel Becker, his brother, had been mor tally wounded by Francesco Sicca, a young Italian, last night, two detec tives had a desperate fight with a mob led by the young men's mother and bent on lynching the assailant of the young men, and it was only after the detectives clothes had been torn to shreds and their prisoner badly beaten, that the three were rescued by the police reserves.

The Becker brothers were proprie tors of a hardware store on upper Second avenue in Little Italy. The police say Sicca, who is twenty years old and a bootblack, yesterday purchased a revolver at the store. Last night he returned and wanted his money back, saying the revolver was not satisfactory. His demand was refused and he opened fire on Harry Becker, who fell dead at the first shot. His brother, Samuel rushed ti the rescue and the Italian fired three more shots in rapid succession, Samuel Becker falling apparently dead with a bullet in his abdomen.

Detectives Higgins and Naughton rushed into the store and grappled with the Italian before he could fire the last shot in his pistol into tha prostrate body of Samuel Becker, The Italian fought fiercely. A gr.eat crowd gathered and made an attempt to take the prisoner from the detectives that they might avenge on the spot the death of Becker, who was very popular in the neighborhood. At the head of the mob was the aged mother of the Becker boys. who v. is armed with an axe and who i i her frenzy demanded that she be allowed to wreak vengeance on the layer of her sons.

The detectives were hard put between the struggles of their prisoner and the efforts of the mob to reach him. Finally after the detectives' clothes wer almost torn off, and Sicca was almost insensible from the blows he had received from the mob, the police reserves arrived and rescue the trio. Mrs. Becker was led to her home by friends, and late last night was in a serious condition from shock.

NO SIGN OF STRIKE And There Is Tlenty Of Coal In Loral Bins. Local coal dealers received word today that President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, and his conferees spent yesterday in arranging for the conference with the anthracite miners at Tamaqua late today. There were rumors afloat of modified demands on the part of the miners and it Is possible that they may so modify them that there will be little of them left.

It was learned that the Lehigh Valley Railroad was making preparations for emergencies in case there was a prolonged anthracite strike. It was stated that it had decided to cutdown the working force on its lines and to postpone some improvements which it had projected. About 52.60 per cent of the freight traffic of the company consists of coal and coke, and a strike means, therefore, fewer cars. Walter L. Montgomery, manager for J.

B. Montgomery, denied on the part of the local dealers that there is any real scarcity of domestic anthracite. It was further said that all needs would be supplied and that there are today stored within the city limits 250,000 tons, enough to last for 60 days should not another ton be shipped here. Representatives of transportation companies which have contracts for bringing coal to Harrlsburg and vicinity said that independent boat owners were charging advanced freight to dealers in the larger cities. Mr.

Montgomery further said that a lnrge quantity of anthracite is hold in boats and barges by dealers wno are paying demurrage at the rate of from 1 to 2 rents a ton a day.
