Anderson "Wants to Recover a Baby Carriage Death of J. Cox. (Special to the Eagle.) Eocfcvillo Center, I January 7 "Just ns weil try to run the Great South dry by pumping tho watr over tho beach hills into tho Atlantic ocean." That wa tin.1 comment made by an old resident in tho vicinity of the Uilburn reservoir on Saturday afternoon, when ho learned that somo one connected witli the Brooklyn department of city work had given orders to pump out tho collars of the farmers around the leaky reservoir. About tho middle of thu afternoon one ot Skilton'a repair wagons, with a big pump, studi contractors use in keeping deep excavations dry, and a gnng of workmen appeared at Farmer Powell's. The men in onar of Foreman Moseman.

They hauled tho big pump through Mr. Powoll's kitchen, and, in long lagged rubbrr honu, carefully defended tho slippery Btnirs iuto tho water. Soon thu 1 amp was started, seudicg powerful stream through the lioso and out of a eollar window. As the wtitcr ran down tho from tho house and bnck iu the pond in Mr. Powell's lrcut dooryard a neighbor remarked: "Pumping out this water maybe frnginoering, but it isn't common sons.

If they pump out the pond that has backed tho spring up into the cellars, they will run dry themselves." Another added: "That sort of hydraulic engineering is on a live! witli the of tho whole business in building the reservoir." The pump, sucking up water, potatoes, carrots nud all sorts of vegetables, was kept gi.dng. Finallv the water was nearly all pumped out. The workmen wont across to A brain Sopor's auu pumped his celbir out. They returned to Jlr. l'owoll's and found almost as much water iu his eollar as at first.

It was pumped out a second time, then tho operation was repeated at Sopor's. 'Tills iiolo must bo eounr eted with the East rlvur," said Foreman Mosomnti as, for the third time, he went down Powell's cellar stairs and tound tho water as deep as ever. The lore man and his gang loadod up their pumping apparatus and depart'. Yesterday thu rain and melting snow added to he water over the Hooded areu. Mr, Powell and his family are boarding iu the village, and it is said ho has hail assurance iron, those in authority that all his expenses will be paid.

Abram Sopor is a poor man and has a lurgo lamily of children, wi.osu health Is inenacod. His cow, driven out ol the staiile, stands day and nistht shivering iu nu old mattress lied around hor. nieklos. upon whicli he; largely depends lor a winter living, are floating about in tho water. His hens nro in his kitchen.

Mr. Powell is in good circumstances and will give tho city a hard fight for damages. Some influential residents of tho village talk or looking alter Soper's interests. SIX HURT "WHILE COASTING. One of the Injured Men Is Likely to Die.

The steersman and a boy next to him escaped injury, while the others vp hurled against the tree and a heap of stones. The cries and groans of tho injured drew a crowd to the spot.
