"At 3:15 the Central Telephone office called the Tribune to say it had been informed by Agent Deckert, of the Pennsylvania Railroad station, that the South Fork Reservoir was getting worse all the time and that the danger of its breaking was increasing momentarily.

No need to speculate, Tom, no need a'tall.
