Ind.. June 15. The burntlog of a cylinder In the pumping machinery at the water station to-day leaves the city without a supply except what remains in the reservoir, and considerable alarm la felt. Before noon to-day the six-million-gallon pump burst and could not be used. Officials at the water works immediately ordered all water used for power shut off, and as a result no pneumatic elevators or other machinery can be used. Sprinkling has been barred, and all who use water for drinking purposes have been warned to be sparing. Unless repairs ar made very soon a famine will result, as the only available water is that in the reservoir, which late this afternoon showed a gauge of twenty-three feet. The water is falling rapidly, and it is thought the supply will not last more than a few 'days, despite the economical measures taken. The new pump which is being installed will not rw ready to pump water for Several weeks, and the n-d of a duplicate set of pumps Is severely felt. Superintendent Camardy and his men are doing everything In their power to prevent any waste of the present scanty supply. Local hotels are without elevator service, and guests are obliged to walk to the upper floors. 0 SI IT FtH RECEIVER.

The Prosecution Say There Mill Re Developments ly To-Day Mr. Spnan's Statement. Mltchel S. Meyberg. of the ticket brokerage firm of M. S. Meyberg & Co.; Samuel Gllck. chief clerk of the Messing Ticket Agency; James B. Finley, employed by the Union Railway Company. 1031 Hamilton avenue, and Orlando Boggs, a runner for the Messing agency, appeared before Judge Whallon, of the City Police Court yesterday afternoon to answer to the charges of issuing fradulent and forged railroad tiskets and forging passes over the various roads. The trial is the result of a raid made on the brokers' offices by Mr. H. A. Koach. assistant superintendent of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, Captain Gerber and Detectives Colbert and Hauser. of the city detective department, on June 6. The time yesterday afternoon was taken up mostly by the testimony of F. M. Brine, ticket accountant of the Big Four Railroad, with offices in Cincinnati, and the brief examination of the defendant brokers. When seen last night Mr. Duncan said the case would probably continue for a week or mure, but he was not prepared to say just what the prosecution had to prove. He said that numerous surprises would be sprung during the trial, however. "So far," said Mr. Duncan, "we have proved that the Meyberg agency sold a ticket that was changed and altered in many respects. They sold a ticket that was issued from Marion It St. Louis on the 4th of May, expiring on the 5th. to a young man in Indianapolis, and when the ticket was turnd in to the t ki accountant at Cincinnati the date of the issue had been changed to May 9, which was the date ou which it was sold to J he young man. and the date of the expiration of the ticket had been changed to May 10. The ticket was identified by the agent at Marlon and by the baggageman who checked baggage through to St. Louis on it. Even the conductor's punch in the ticket had been altered by what is known a? a 'B. C punch being punched over the marks of the conductor. This much we have proved to-day. but greater developments will come to-morrow afternoon." Henry N. Spaan, attorney for the brokers, says the case is a put-up Job merely a scheme of the railroads to run the brokers out of the tickst business. He says he will have no trouble in clearing his clients of the charges mad- against them, as their affairs aitpcax to him tu be straight.

POWDER AND DYNAMITE ISED Ol EFFORT TO DESTROY THE PIKE COllSTY COI RTHOISE. Little Damage Is Done, bnt tbe People of Petersburg; Are Thrown Into a Panic Attempt on a Woman's Life. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PETERSBURG, Ind., June 15. The people of this place have been In a state of great excitement since 3 o'clock this morning, the result of an attempt to blow up the courthouse here. Eight sticks of dynamite and a keg of powJer were placed in the hallway of the county building and a fuse was connected with the keg of powder and extended to the door. There it was lighted and slowly burned until the powder was reached, when a terrific explosion took place. It jarred the building and aroused the entire town and for an hour ha if -clad people were running about almost panicstricken and the wildest of rumors were put in circulation. It was some time before the people became calm enough to listen to the truth and understand just what had taken place. Aftar the excitement had died down an examination was made and it was found that no great damage had been done. The plastering on the walls in the hallway of the building was torn off in places, and the walls and woodwork were blackened. There is no clew to the perpetrators of the crime. It is believed that it was done by men who are favorable to having the county seat removed from Petersburg to Winslow. Since the matter has been agitated, a bitter feeling has grown up and the people are divided Into factions. The Patoka river marks the dividing line of sentiment. It is contended In Petersburg that had the building been wrecked the friends of the Winslow agitation would have been in a batter position to have claimed the county seat. Another theory advanced Is that the attempt was made in revenge for the fight that the temperance people have been conducting against the publicans of the county for the past year. This fight has developed almost as much bitterness as that over the county seat. The authorities, both local and county, are at work on the case and the County Commisioners will import detectives to aid In the solution of the mystery. It is likely that tl3 Petersburg Town Council will make an appropriation In aid of the work. Woman Badly Injured. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind., June 15 Last night Mrs. W. E. Nees was awakened by a noise on her front porch, and when she opened the door to investigate she found a peculiarly shaped box on the porch with a string attached to it. Mrs. Nees picked up the string for the purpose of throwing the contrivance off the porch, and it suddenly exploded with terrific force, frightfully burning Mrs. Nees's hands. There is no clew that will lead to the arrest of the perpetrators, and there is no known cause why the machine was placed there. GENERAL INDIANA NEWS BRIEF ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL OVER HOOSIERDOM.
