Yesterday afternoon Tub Citizen took a trip to the city pumping station on the Swannanoa, with the purpose of see ing for itself the exact condition of things at the water works. From what was seen and heard there it seems almost absolutely certain that the people of Asheville may expect a supply of water tomorrow morning. To begun at the beginning of the pres ent trouble, it is necessary to say that the old water pump has been worked continuously day and night for the past two yeats without a chance for repairs and consequently has become bo worn that it cannot force any considerable amount oi water into the city. It is run regularly, however. Early last week the new Worthington water pump was com pleted and it was expected that it would be put in operation last week. But one night the coffer dam built (imperfectly, too) to prevent the water running into the penstock and upon the workmen em. Jloyed there. Rave way. This was be ore the contractor, II- M. Smith, had completed the cement paving of the floor of the penstock. With the rush of water which followed the bursting of the coffer dam came a large quantity of sand and gravel, which covered the floor to a depth ot several inches. However, this was not all of the trouble. Because all of the cementing had not been done the floor and walls of the penstock were leaky and the THE PRICE OF OBELISK : FLOUR HAS BBBN REDUCED, AND ALSO MANY OTHER AR TICLES IN OUR L.INB.

The dam was repaired -and City Engineer Lee thought the sand and gravel that had washed into the penstock would make a water-tight bed. When the water was turned in, however, this proved not to be the case, and it became neces sary to remove all this sand and gravel and complete the paving. Besides this it was found that the "tail race," through which the water that passes through the turbine wheel must find its way into the Swannanoa below the dam had not been excavated to a sufficient depth, and a force set about doing this. As all of this work must be done in the water the task has been a difficult one, on account of the coldness of the water and the cement like condition in which the bed of the riv er was found at this point. On the first day lO men worked in the water. Next day there were only five who wanted to continue the dose and it was then that Superintendent Ingle was ordered to go to the spot and, if necessary to induce men to work, provide them with whiskey to keep down any ill enects that might follow a day's labor in the water. Yesterday afternoon six men and two teams were employed on this work. The men stood in water almost to their knees and with drills and shovels loosen ed and loaded into the wagons the stones in the river bed. It was a de cidedly slow process, and it was neces sary to blast in several places with dy namite. The men get $2 a day and are given a drink of whiskey at the close of the day's work. This excavation was finished yester dav afternoon, and it is expected that work in the penstock will be finished to day. The new water pump is standing ready for action and as soon as the wa ter is turned into the wheel the pumping of water over the mountain will begin. If all works well the old pump will then be stopped and overhauled. City En gineer Lee, Contractor Smith and Su perintendent Ingle told The Citizen that they were confident the new pump could be started by 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. The new water pump has a capacity of 750,000 gallons every 24. hours. The new steam pump will send into the city 1,250,000 gallons a day. This pump, Mr. Short, the Worthington expert, told Tub Citizen, would be ready for action in about lO days. The engine is a triple expansion, and what engineers would call a "beautv." Wait for the water! Washington, May 10. The devo tional exercises which opened the second days' session of the Presbyterian General Assembly was conduced by Rev. Dr. Smith of Baltimore. Previous to the reading of the minutes of yesterday, per manent Clerk Moore requested that the brother who had exchanged overcoats with him would come and get his own; also that the person who had the mode rator's overcoat would return it. Rev. Mr. McCauley, of Dayton, Ohio, moved a reconsideration of the vote yes terday on the World's Fair Sunday opening for the purpose of offering a substitute tor that resolution, going more into detail. Reconsideration was refused by an almost unanimous vote, and McCaulev then moved to add a substitute to the resolution of yesterday but the Assembly refused to consider it. On motion of Dr. Harsha of Nebraska, a resolution was adopted for the ap pointment of a committee to formulate an expression of opinion upon the Chi nese exclusion act, as it ctlecrs foreign missionary work. Stated Clerk Roberts announced that the reports of various boards, commit tees and officers of church and assembly had been received. Dr. Smith of Baltimore introduced Rev. Dr. Duncan, of the Episcopal church who represented the joint com mittee which had under consideration the subject of church unity. This com mittee has been in session the past two da vs. and Dr. Duncan was selected to represent the Episcopal church before the assembly. He said there were four points which the Episcopal church believed to be essential to a basis of union, and upon three of them they had practically agreed. The fourth, upon wbicb no conclusion had been reached, involved largely a difference in terms only. As a final outcome of the committee work Dr. Duncan prophesied that in the not far distant future instead of two church organizations there shall be but one. The moderator then announced the standing committees. 'EKK's TO HELP GET IT. FAIRTISW COMORATCUtTES. Because of Our of Ttae Result Election. Fairvikw, N. C, May 18.

Crylnic Need For at Line To Bristol. Tenn., to Give ua Lower Krelttbt and PassenKer Rates; Xn a Wold, Cumpellou. Editor The Citizen: In order to bring to this city the prosperity so much desired by all it is necessary that we have a line of road built from Asheville to Bristol, Tenn. At least this is per fectly apparent to my mind, and I believe this necessity will continue to be felt more and more as time rolls on. An other thins; X am aware of, and that is it cannot be built without money. All the resolutions that can be passed in mass meetings assembled will utterly fail to accomplish the work; indeed, it is a very difficult problem to solve how this road can be built. A great many people are now of the opinion that it would have been better two years ago to have divided the $600, OOO appropriation eaually lor city im provements and for railroads, but that was not done. We have now, I suppose, about $200,000 of these improvement bonds unsold. Would it not be for the best interests of the city to retire these unsold bonds and the amount to be used in the building of this road, which I suppose can be done by election, and have the country to ioin in for a suffi cient amount to insure the completion of the road ? This is the only chance 1 see, for if this appropriation is all expended on street improvement it will be utterly impossible to iret the people to vote any more indebtedness upon the city tor years to come. I live on a street that has not as yet received any of the benefits of this vast appropriation, ana while l wouiu like to see my street paved and improved. yet I am willing to wait one, two or three years if by so doing I can get this important line of railroad, and as fast as the money is paid in by the property owners on the streets already paved the city could use the same in improving other streets in the greatest need of im provement. This would not interfere materially with the building of sidewalks, as property owners have to provide their own. 1 do not sunoose for a moment any man will question the necessity of this line. If he does let him read the article in yesterday's Gazette on passenger rates. In conclusion, if any man has a more certain or better plan to secure the building of this line 1 am sure the public will patiently hear him. .1 . u. cooper. J.T OX. FLAG.
