The machinery 1 consists ot a pair of pumping engines arranged side by side, running In unison, without the usual appendages of a shaft or fly-wheel. The steam extensions are of peculiar construction, each cuiuiauiiiK, unuer cover oi wnat appears tone a single cylinder, a distinct pair of steam cylinders, the capacity of the one being only one-third as large as the other. Tbe steam is first used high pressure in the smaller one, and afterward exerts a second force (low pressure) upon the piston ot the larger. A pair of double-action horizontal air-pumps, situated between the pair of engines aud driven by the motion of the engines, keep up a continuous vacuum upon the exhausting ends of the low-pressure cylinders. The whole of these operations were, of course, hidden to the eye, but their combined influence was fully manifest in the extraordinary small amount of steam which was consumed iu keeping them In motion.

The steam valve is barely open the thickness of a piece of paper while the engines are working. They also work with little or no noise. Fhiladelpbians should be proud that our city lias attained such a nign reputation lor her mechanical abilities. The engines were designed by Mr. Wm.

Henderson, me Miperintendent ol the works. these engines were constantly under the eeneral supervision of Isaac Cassin, the Chief Engineer of tbe Water Works.

i -lllatnrv of tha MnrdnrM-'a Ylrtlia. Richard M. Harlan, the victim of Deail. was a native of Schuylkill county. In early life he fell from a hay wagon aud received injuries which caused paralysis of one side.

He received a good education, and was a very fair penman, but being of dissolute habits and imbibing intoxicating liquors to excess, he became an outcast from so ciety and a vagrant. He earned a scanty living by tbe sale ol writing materials through the country side, but his thirst for strong drfnk was a curse upon him, and he was frequently an Inmate of the kick up in Reading. He was about 30 years of age at the time of bis death. His parents, who are respectably connected in Schuylkill county. moved to ine wesi some years since ana toon nun itn iiicni.

Snyder. He was born in Luzerne county, in the valley between Scranton aud l'ittston, and was the youngest of four boys. He had two sitters, both younger than himself, one of whom is still living, in the State ol New York. His father's name was Richard Sny der) he was a very poor man, and Indolent, and consequently his family were brought up in poverty. The mother of the murderer was a goodi woman, a member of the Methodist F.piscopa Church: her maiden name was Sarah Deail, and she tried to bring up her children In the fear ol the Lord.

At one time the Snyder family were turned out of doon for not paying their rent, and a neighbor, who took pity upon their destitute condition, allowed them to live in an old house upon his premises. While they were inhabiting this humble home, one ol the sons, Aaron by name, aged about 5 years, during the absence ol his mother set fire to his clothes aud was burned to death. Mrs. Snyder died wheu Zachary was about 17 years old. As long as his mother lived he was a well-behaved boy, but after her death he commenced his downward ciueer.

His first act, after the death ol his mother, was to make the acquaintance and live with a woman much older Ikau himself, of notoriously bad character. lie lived with her mime time, but his older brother, Moses, flually persuaded him to leave her. He was afterward arrested and Imprisoned for six months for stealing a yoke of oxeu. After serving out his term of Imprisonment, be was arrested, tried and sentenced to two years in the Eastern, I'eniteuliary, (or stealing a horse; but on account of his good behavior, and through outside inllurnce, he was pardoned after serving a little innre than one-half his term or imprisonment. He afterward entered the army as a substitute lor hts cousin.

Cornelius anyder, wiio lives iu Monroe county. He was placed in the One Hundred and Eighteenth Kegimant, irom which he deserted before his time was out. Alt or liis desertion his next caime was an out-race upon a womau iu Luzerne county, named Mary i.vtin, for which he was sentenced, on the mil of January. to pay a fine of thirty dol lars and undergo an imprisonment of three years iu the Eastern Penitentiary.

His intentions toward the old lady, judging from his actions while loitering about her house, were anything but the best, but he was kept from perpetrating his wicked designs by the presence of several children. He went by his proper name (Snyder) until alter the murder ol Harlan, wnen he took the maiden name of Ins mother (Deail), by which name he was tried and convicted. His brother. Mowi Snyder, who Is a very respectable citizen of Wayne county, happened to see an account ol the arrest of Deail in a newspaper, in which was stated that be had been a substitute in the army lor Cornelius Snyder, and knowing that his brother, from whom he had not heard since the close of the war, had gone as a substitute for his cousin Cornelius, he came to Reading at once and visited the prison, and, upon being admitted Into the cell, at once recognized Deail as his brother.

The meeting of these two brothers was very touching the one an outcast and condemned to death, but the lender ties of kindred still bound them together. Deail slated to his brother that he had taken his mother's maiden name in the hope that hi) degradation would never reach the ears of his relatives.
