BURGLAR GOT A FEW CENTS,
MISSING SI,000 IN JEWELS
STRIKING CAR MEN
. WIN THEIR FIGHT
In nccordance with an agreement
reached at Macon Thursday afternoon.
In which their demands were met In
every Instance, the strike of the car
repairers and Inspector* of the Central
of Georgia railway, which haa been In
progress for about a week, was called
off, and dn Friday morning all the old
forcea wer at work. Including the 35
In Atlanta «>ho struck at the time of
those In Macon and other points.
Nabbing a savings bank containing
a few cents, a few clothes and over
looking Jewels worth 31.000, a burglar,
who Thursday night entered the home
of W. t». King, made his escape.
Mr. King Is a traveling man, resid
ing nt 17 Bvntis street. In West End.
He was away from home at the time,
the house being occupied by Mrs. King
and her sister-in-law.
The burglar onte'red the house short
ly after midnight, and turned things
topsy-turvy, knowing evidently that
the Jewelry was In the house. Chif
fonier drawers were dumped on the
floor and numerous articles were scat
tered over the house.
The Jewelry which the night visitor
overlooked was lying on a table In the
room where the two women were slop
ing, the room being one of those which
the burglar entered. Out of thla room
the burglar took some wearing apparel
which the women had placed on the
foot of the'bed before retiring. How
the burglar missed seeing the Jewelry
Is a mystery.
Burglary seems to have been quite
the rage In West End Thursday night,
probnbly the same man turning the
trick In both cases. T. CallaWay'a
home on Aahby street was entered by a
burglar, who took therefrom a gold
watch and fob, th* latter studded with
diamonds.

From The New York Evening Post.
The iiathettc story of the life and
death of Hippo, the literary snake, as
recently chronicled tn this column, was
received with grent earnestness and
pleasure by most lovers of suake life;
yet It becomes necessary to say that In
some quarters there was an Ill-concealed
doubt of the veracity of the tate. Hon
est skepticism Is very well. There are
many snake agnostics—persons who
frankly say that, never having culti
vated reptilian friendships, they "do
not know." But skepticism which
would lay a hand of doubt upon the
tombstone of Bip|s> must be met with
proofs or entirely Ignored. Ijiter, It
may ha convenient to adopt th,* former
course; for the present, it seems ad
visable to tell a simple story which
comes from Florida, regarding the
splendid service of the water mocca
sins In that state.

The portion of the report which Is
of special interest tq those connected
with fire Insurance companies, as well

lows:
"On the morning of July 20 1 was
requested by ths engineer of the South
eastern Tariff Association to allow
them to teat the fire service In the
new Candler building. To make this
test It was necessary to put on pres
sure for fire service. At 9:45 s. m. on
the morning of July 30 I 'phoned Mr.
Collier, engineer in charge of No. 2
station, to put the pressure up to 150
pounds for (Ire test. We were then
running two pumps, Nos. l and 3 (10
and 15.000.00n gallon pumps), and had
five boilers In service.
•'In attempting to get this pressure
the speed of both pumps was Increas
ed to speed limit, and as a result th*
steam pressure was reduced from 100
pounds to 90 pounds. We had two fire
men on duty In boiler room, and It was
30 minutes before they could get steam
pressure to 951 pounds, so as to enable
us to give the 150 pounds pressure.
Couldn't Get Pressure.
"During the two hours and fifteen
minutes we carried this pressure the
firemen were unable to get a steam
pressure above 95 pounds; we should
have had 100 pounds. The two pumps
were using steam faster than five boil
ers would generate It, so we could not
get the 100 pounds required.
"We did not carry the water pressure
at 150 pounds all tha time, as we could
not without running the third pump.
This w* could not do as the five boll-
ond It would have I
hours to get steam pressure on two
more boilers to run the three pumps.
•This tekt proves that during the day
It will take all three pumps and seven
boilers to carry 160 pounds firs pres
sure. We Cflnnot use seven all the
time, as we have only nine boilers all
told. The boilers In service have to be
cleaned and washed out every thirty
days. \
"We haven't enough boilers to keep
seven In service and make this change.
In raa* of a fire alarm during the day
that would require 150 pounds wster
presure, w* could not give this pres
sure. without a delay of 11-3 Hours, as
It would taka all this time to get steam
pressure on tqo n)>re boilers. This
delay would be very dangerous In css*
of a large fire.
During this test we had to use ev
ery filter In the filter house, and then
could not keep tho clear water basin
full. If the test had continued 30
minutes longer we would have had to
turn the water from the reservoir Into
the clear water basin to keep th#
pumps from losing suction.
'This Is the condition the plant Is In.
and I merely-call your attention to I*,
to relieve th* department from criti
cism should we full to give fire pres
sure ot 150 pounds when needed for s
big fire.
Coagulating Basin.
I wish again to call your attention
to tha conditions w* will have to fact
at Hemphill pumping station. Our co
agulating basin Is too small, and w*
find'It a very hard matter to filter the
water properly now In Its present mua-
dy condition.
We are pumping so much water
that It cause* the water to flow through
the coagulating basin so rapidly that
the mud has not time to seats, which
throws the hardest part of the work on
the filter*. A* w# have only 7,000,<wo
gallons filter capacity, nnd are now
pumping at the rate of 14,090,090 gal
lons during the day, we have to forie
the water through the filters too fast
to filter It properly. During last sum
mer w* pumped the water out of th#
dear water basin so fast that it was s
very hard matter to keep the auction
pipes of th# .pump* covered. The wa
ter Is so mtiddy In tho reservoir that «'#
find It difficult to fitter It fast enough
to supply ths demand In the city, snd
tt may become necessary befogc tne
summer Is over to pump muddy water
direct from the reservoir.
DUST STORM HITS
ATLANTA FRIDAY
The worst dust storm that Atlanta
has known- for year* descended upon
the streets at 2:45 o'clock Friday after
noon. ,,
For five minutes every lode* piece of
paper on the afreets danced a horn
pipe among the telephone wires! while
straw bats ran races down the street,
with owners trying to chase their fu
gitive lid* and rub the sand from
smarting eyes at the same time.
Offlee windows were closed hurriedly
and until the storm subsided Atlanta
cltlsens preferred the stifling heat of
Indoors to a cloud of dust.
