Employes of the water company refuse to work for the city, and no enginuer can be found who can operate the pumps. The city authorities accuse the companys engineer of having spiked" 'the pumps. .The superintendent of the works has served notice on the city that the pumping station is in danger because of the incompetency of the men who are attempting to run it. Hotels, factories and consumers generally are compelled to obtain water from private sources, which are insufficient to supply the needs. The trouble grows out of the city forcing the water company to sell its plant. iMuom Claiming h Attention of Both Huuaea. Washington, Dec. 14.
