Cellars in Cross Street Filled
With (Nty Water.
WORST BREAK IN YEARS.
The Whole East Side Service Had to be
Cut Off. .
One of the worst, if not the worst,
breaks that ever happened to the city
water pipes occurred on Cross, street
, Sunday afternoon. I
The pipe is one of the main ones and
is of sheet iron and cement, laid about
the time of the introduction of the
water. -
SThe break was about; inches by 24
inches, and the water shot up into the
air like a small geyser hurling cobbles
and dirt fully fifteen feet.
. The accident happened almost di-
rectly in front of the home of Mrs.
Ellen Ryan and the water poured with
. a rush into the cellar of the' house, as
well as the cellars of houses near by,
at one time threatening to reach the
floor timbers. ‘
It flodoed the street and the yards
and withal did considerable damage to
property.
“Coroner” Roach was summoned and
lost no time in shutting off the water
and soon had a corps of men at work
making repairs.
The break necessitated the shutting
0}? for a time the entire water system
on the east side of the river, or until
such time as conneCLion was made with
the main that runs under the Wall
street bridged—and used in such emer-
gencies. .. .
Later it was discovered that there
was a small leak in this pipe, but it
. was quickly repaired after the discov-
ery.
Men were early
ing on the break
necessary repairs completed within a
at work this morn-
and hope to have
. short time.
Mr. Roach speaks of it as being the
worst break during his several years
experience with the water system of
this City. ‘

VOL. IX. No. 2184: ’
, RESULT iN DOUBT.
License Amendment Passes Lower House but is
Yet to Tackle Senate.
The lower branch of the general’as-
sembly has passed an amendment to
the liquor laws in regard to the powers
of the county commissioners in refus-
inga license. The amendment gives
the superior court power to order the
commissioners to issue a license after
the refusal has been reviewed by the.
Court and the judgment reversed.
The amendment also provides that
the county commissioners are to be
summoned into court when an appeal
is taken so that they may have an
opportunity to explain why they re-
fused to issue a license. .
The amendment is not the one want-
ed 'by the liquor dealers. The latter
through their counsel Joseph L. Bar-
bour, put in a most extraordinary bill.
. They proposed not only to make all
judgments in the future amenable to
the superior court, but also to make
the law applicable to those cases which
had been passed upon.
Representative Light introduced the
amendments which were embodied
into the law as it nowstands and as it
will pass if it’ passes at all. It has yet
to run the gauntlet of the senate and
governor and it is not so certain that
it will go through.

E. Osterbanks Visits the Scene of the Stan-

Edelbert Osterbanks, of the firm of
W. 8; E. Osterbanks of this city, drove
to the scene of the murder of Shaderach
J. Close in Stanwieh, Sunday, and had
a short interview with the bead .aman’s
\
son.
When Mr. Osterbanks called the
son’s attention to the story that several
improper letters, purporting to have
been written‘ by a business man in
New Haven to a young woman of Stan-
wich and which had been given by her
to Mr. Close to be forwarded to Wash-
ington, had been taken on the night of
the murder. He said “There is abso—
lutely nothing in that. If there had
been any such letters I would have
known of them. as I, and not my father
did all of the post office work. I made
out all the reports that were sent to
'Washington, and any such letters
would have been turned‘over to me,
There was nothing of the kind.
There is an impression in
wich that the missing books would be
found in a small lake about a quarter of
a mile from the store, which was being
dragged. He talked freely about the
case, but said there was no one whom
Stan-
he suspected. _
The detectives adhere to the theory
that the books and tin box furnished
the motive for the crime. '

THE CLEVELAND STRIKE.
A Quiet Sunday, but Further Denxon-
striations Are Expected.
CLEVELAND. June 19.—There were.
no new developments in thelstrike of the
street railway men yesterday, principally
for the reason that the company made no
attempt-to operate cars except on the-
Euclid avenue line. The police still af—
forded ample protection, and the cars
were run on schedule time from 7' o’clock
in the morning until 0 o’clock in the
evening. It is expected that an attempt
will be made today to resume operations
on some of the other lines, and more
trouble is looked for.
The strikers are preparing for a big
demonstration this evening. A meeting
is to be held in the afternoon at which
representatives of all the labor unions
are expected to be present. The meet-
ing will arrange for a parade to take
place in the evening. It is anticipated
that between 10,000 and 20,000 union
workingmen will be in line, and there
will be several bands in the procession.
The object of the demonstration will be
to influence the members of the city
council, and 100 representatives of organ-
ized labor will be selected to attend the
meeting of that body and request the
passage of an ordinance introduced a
week ago which requires that all motor-
men shall have had at least 20 days’ ex-
perience in running cars in Cleveland be-
fore they can be employed in this city.
