FACE A PROBLEM Well In River Rendered Nearly Use-lesa By Mud and Coal Dirt. SUPPLY OF WATER SHUT OFF Result of Carrying Intake Pipe Out Into Stream Seeking Remedy. The well in the river that directly supplies the water works is receiving its semi-annual cleaning out. Last fall, when the well was uncovered, a great deal of coal dirt and mud was found, but the conditions disclosed at present are much worse, and it becomes a question whether the borough can keep up its water supply without changing the intake altogether. Of late it has not been a question of getting clean water but of getting any water at all, as the well drawn upon to the top was full of mud and coal dirt.

The aggravated condition is due to the change made in the intake when the pipe was carried out into the river beyond the first pier a year or so ago. Purer water undoubtedly was obtained, but along with it came an increased quantity of coal dirt and mud, which are carried down the middle of the channel in great quantities when the water is high. To keep the coal dirt, out of the pipe that supplies the pump a fine screen was installed in the river well shutting off the end that opened In to the pipe. This proved effectual in keeping coal dirt and trash of all sorts out of the pump, but the very material, however, that it held back in process of time and a very short time at that filled up the well and the supply of water was cut off. When this emergency occurred a couple of months ago there were fourteen feet of water in the river.

The borough, however, was in dire straits and something had to be done at once. As the only way out of the difficulty a coal dredge was commissioned and anchored above the well immediately over the spot where the pipe supplying the pump is located. -By means of a heavy piece of shafting used as a drop hammer the iron plates forming die top of the well were broken in and water in sufficient quantity was admitted. Cleaning Out Well. It was not until the present week that the water in the river fell low enough to expose the top of the well so that it could be opened.

As explained above conditions were found to be such as to cause considerable apprehension for the With the exception of the end shut off by the screen the well was full of dirt to the very top and was practically useless. To relieve conditions temporarily a force of men were put to work yesterday shoveling out the mud and coal dirt. In all, several dumped out into removed and were dumped out into the river at a safe distance from the well. At the same time the borough traction engine along with the centri-1 ugal pump was installed and today the work of cleaning out the well will go forward in earnest. In a day or so everything will he in good working in which the steam piston rod is di- dimes.

LEHIGH'S WHEAT BLASTED Lice and Hessian Fly Do Damage of Half a Million.

Allentown, June 18. Five hundred thousand dollars, according to the best estimates, will not cover the loss sustained this year by Uehigli county farmers on their wheat crop by lice and the Hessian fly. The damage is the most serious ever sustained with any one crop. Fully half the wheat that should have been harvested has been lost and the damage is growing worse daily. Some of the farmers will not be able to harvest a sheaf of wheat.

Several weeks ago a good many farmers made up their minds not to take chances, so plowed their wheat fields and planted corn or potatoes. Some took a chance and will get nothing or very little. A typical case is that of Thomas P. Roth, of Orefield. North Whitehall township.

Six weeks ago he had as fine a stand of wheat as could be seen anywhere. He expected to compete for the wheat-growing championship of the county, and from his 20 acres figured on harvesting at least 600 bushels. Today he declared he would not get more than 50 bushels, whereas he expected that quantity from several single acres that looked exceptional! thrifty.

The direct action pump was invented at Waterman Beaver's works, and what adds immeasureably to the interest in the fact that the original pump, which revolutionized machinery of that kind, is still in existence and in daily use, the sound of its exhaust being one of the most familiar noises about the "big mill. At first of course the self-acting steanl pump only a dream. The thing, however, seemed feasible, and the proprietors consented that a pump of that type might be manufactured at that plant.

A great deal ot excitement was caused at the corner of Railroad and East Market street yesterday afternoon, when a team of horses belonging to Francis Hartman, Sidler Hill, ran away. The team in charge of Mr. Hartman's son, was coming down Railroad street in the vicinity of the P.

R. station, when in some unaccountable manner a single tree broke, causing it to strike one of the horses legs. The team became frightened and dashed toward East Market street, the plucky driver meanwhile holding on to the reins and endeavoring to check the frenzied animals. When near the Tubing Works, Edward F. Price, came to the rescue of the driver and by their combined efforts, soon had the horses under control.
