NEWARK, August 81, 1885. AT the meet
ing of the Aqueduct Board to be held
next week q communication is to be sub
mitted from the East Jersey Water Com
pany relative to the proposal for new
water supply, negotiations for which
have been pending between the city and
the representatives of the company and
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company for
some time. The provisions for a contract
as approved by the city authorities were
submitted to the East Jersey Water Com
pany several weeks ago. The document
was referred to the Executive Committee
Of the company for its consideration be-
fore the company should act on it finally
1t is understood that the Executive Com
m1ttee OF the company is DESTROYS of hay
ing some understanding with the Aque-
duct Board relative to the clause which
gives the Board power to select the
material to be used in the construction of
the pipe line before q recommendation is
made that the proposal of the city be &C
cepted.
The company, 1t appears, is quite will
ing that the Board should exercise some
control in the matter and will suggest in
the communication to be presented to the
Board that if q difference of opinion
ttflSeS DebWeeu Lnc bOarQ ana the COM
pany as to the material to be used the
question shall be submitted to two ex-
perts, one TO be selected by the company
and the other by the Aqueduct Board.
At the time the amendment was made
by the Aqueduct Board, the company OBJ
jected to giving the Board control of the
matter. 1t was claimed that the provision
which declares that the work should be
done in every respect in a first-class man
ner would necessitate the uses of the best
material by the company.
The company also object to the increase
in the head under which the water is to
be delivered In this city. The company's
representatives when the change was
made declared that such increase was not
in accordance with the specifications as
presented by the company, but it is IN
deestood that this objection will not be
pushed by the company.

of wealthy horseman of this city, to

March last. The announcement caused
considerable comment in this city. Miss

pretty young girl, who has been receiving
attentions from Hummer for about foul
years. The parents made no objections
to his visits. Last March Miss Holden
left Plaintield one day. ostensibly to 90 tc
Newark on a visit Now it is apparent
that she went to Rome, n. Y, where
Hummer met and married her. The
couple returned to this city and have
since lived separate lives. Six months OF
such existence tired them of it and they
decided to end it. Neither had the
courage to personally announce the mar.
riage to their parents and the world sc
they inserted the story telling notice in
the metropolitan daily. Their friends
were greatly surprised to learn that they
had so long kept such secret, but no one
seems to find fault with them.
