The southern extremity of the great
ridge that runs through the middle OF
Hudson county offers great attractions
to settlement. 1t is high and healthy,
it commands pleasing prospects in all
directions ardsiti is naturally easy of
~access. Undoubtedly the new road
| will bring a vast access of population
to it from the ranks of New York
business men in good and moderate
circumstances who will recognize that
it affords them many of the pleasures
81 rural life combined with the con-
venience of city residence.
These are, perhaps. the most desir-
able class of citizens. They demand
good houses, which must be built
for them, thus Increasing the
vHiue of the city's property,
and the income from taxa
ton. Besides, enjoying financial case
they spend money freely, raising the
standard Of each trade, and enhance
ing the prosperity of local business

The district i'll which they settle is
not the only one which gains by their
] coming OF course. puhlic Improve
ments follow in the wake Of growing
population and great building
activity, but the most remote Sec
ton of the city shares in the
general benefit from increased taxa
tion and booming business; and there
fore every quarter is strongly inter-
ested in every movement that brings
new residents to our city.
Among those who will most largely
gain by the IL" road and the devel-
opments that it must effect will be
those very property n who,
aeslittle while ago, were opposed
to its establishment. The rush
Of new population means an
enhancement Of property values,
and the houses and lots which were
bought a little while ago forhundreds
of dollars will in another year or two
sell at prices ranging in the thou
sands. +.
The Board of Aldermen is to be
commended for it's prompt action on
this important matter. and the people
are to be congratulated on the pros
pect which it's action opens up.

Let Us Have Pure Water

Let Us Have Pure water.
The stand taken by The JERSEY
CITY NEWS at other times when&the
water agitation demanded editorial
attention is too we'll known
abtos he restated. It's main desire
was to save the necessity Of plac-
ing the water service in the hands
Of private capitalists, and to keep it,
as it has always been, b municipal
ssfanction. We were well aware that
&sJerssSs City could not herself bear the
e of building a new plant and
drawing a supply from a new foun-
tain head and hope Was that
Newark might be indtfeedNt0cembfn
with her in the enterprise and divide
q Ren se,sasxasssa@ sass az y
Newark has defeated this hope by
making, asa independent contract with
the Lehigh Valley Company, and has
put Jersey City on her own resources.
Tha~vast outlay hat would~be re-
". .quired puts a separate water service
beyond her reach: while, she
would, in addition, encounter the
stern Opposition of the J Newark
interests if she attempted to secure
legislation for condemnation, without
.ssWhich the owning of a new water sup
ply is impossible. Inface of the pre-
valence of typhoid, malaria, and
other kindred diseases in this
city. it cannot pea denied that
the public health demands a sup
TplyNofg fresh, clean and sweet
G%waser, and that the property in
terests are suffering because OF the
d~eseryedly bad reputation of our,pres-
eift supply. There Seems to be nothing
left for the city to do therefore but
hireba water supply from some one
s~Hbiee tosfurnish it. 7
+ 13The steps taken by the Street and
Water Board on the subject at yester-
days meeting seem, under all the cir
eamstancesy to be In the right direc-
IS tion. The Board IL proceeding eau
ca tiopslys to learn just where the best
supply can be got, and what are the
best teE9ls on which it can be secured.
There.i is no cut and dried aspect about
the proceedings.
81 THE making of a contract, should
one, be made, is to be the result OF
careful negotiation. These negotia.
tipnB are TO be conducted, on behalf
of'the'city, by the city's law officers:
and so it is certain that the tax
payers will be amply protected and
gdAe bestspossible terms secured.
No better Christmas present can be
made to the water drinkers and tax
Ipayets Of the city than q pure aanc
Wholesome supply Of water. Ths
promise that the negotiations ma,
bring the much needed supply without
an increase OF the city debt, or, with
g out adding to the cost to the con
sumner, makes it desirable that what
ever is to be done should be done al
,expeditiously as the circumstance
will permit. Say

A man is measured by the size of his
pocket-book. Ifit be flush, he thereby
wins title to the highest seat in the
social realm. The church courts his
good graces, and worships his wealth.
He may he half eaten up by moral
leoprosy, but his money covers the
multitude of sins and he is considered
q veritable angel in disguise. But when
the financial food comes with its pain
ful accOmpaniments; when a personal
disaster leaves man to grope through
the passages of bankruptcy, who then
is ready to lift him up? No one. The
same tide that carries wealth away
bears upon its bosom nine.tenths of the
friendship with which affluences is
surrounded. No matter through what
channel the disaster comes, the world
has no use for man after he has been
reduced to poverty. He is ostracised
from society, because his clothes are too
ancient in fashion, and the church
SCOTS at him and says: II told you so."
Then to whom must the unfortunate
turn for sympathy? Oh, money! thou
tyrannical idol of human worship, thou
who hast usurped the throne in the
human heart where the prince of con-
science should wear the regal diadem-
without thee man is indeed q pitiless
worm Of the dust upon which the more
favored ones may tread with impunity.

Some idea of the extent of Messrs.
Krupp's establishment may be gathered
from a work just published at Essen.
1t appears that In 1888 there were only
nine workmen, and in 1S48 seventy
four. In July, 1888, the establishment
employed 10000 men, of whom 1925
were at Essen. Including the families
of the workmen, they supported pop
ulation of 70 ,T69 souIs,- of whom 24,193
lived in houses provided by the tlrm.
There are at Essen l,l95 furnaces of
various constructions. 2s6 boilers, 92
steel hammers or from 100 to $4,000
kilogrammes, $40 steam engines, with
a total of p 900 horse power; LIZA diff
ferent machines, and 361 cranes. OF
coal and coke 2,735 tons are used daily,
and II high furnfces of the latest con-
structions prnduce nearly 900 tons of
iron per day. e2

PERIsHED IN THE FLAMES.
Several Lives Lost in Burning Fire
works Factory.

BosToN, June 22.-The fireworks
establishment of Heyer Bros, burned,
Friday evening. A salesman, while
waiting on customer saw a flash
OF light and Immediately ran for water
and gave the alarm. The flames spread
so rapidly that in five minutes ali was
smoke and an incessant discharge of
fireworks. The escape of those in the
upper stories was cut off. Charles A,
Gage, aged 20, hung from third-story
window until he was compelled to drop
and he fell to the ground striking two
awnings in his descent aud breaking his
back. He will probably die. Two men
working on the fourth floor jumped in
their fright. One was killed instantly
and the other fatally injured. There
are several Others missing, and it is
feared they perished in the flames.
during the progress of the fire the dis
charge of fireworks sounded as though
a battle was in progress and snap of fire
crackers was interspersed with the
louder reports of the large pieces, while
occasionally rocket shot from the win
dows. A large portion of the stock was
ruined, but well insured. The loss was
estimatedat 100000.

dest Ex.U. S. Senator, on His Death
bed.

bed.
LANCASTER, Pa, June 24.-General
Simon Cameron's condition last night
was practically unchanged from Satur-
day, and though he is very weak, his
physicians consider II possible that he
may live several days. The present i'll
ness of Gen. Cameron Is of a more seri-
Gus character than that of six weeks
ago, and from the effects of which he
had fully recovered. 1t is paralysis that
has laid him low this time. He had
lain down on 'his bed at his country
seat, Donegal Springs, Thursday after
noon TO take short rest. and it was
while in this position that the attack
came which paralyzed his right arm
and side. OF course CONSERVATION
seized his household, but as soon as pos
sible his physician, DR.. Dunnot, of
Harrisburg, was called to his bedside.
Ex-Attorney General McVeigh and
wife, the latter being daughter of the
General, and another daughter, Mrs.
Haldeman, were also sent for and quick
ly arrived and assisted in making the
veteran as comfortable as possible.
The attack was entirely unexpected,
for the general had risen in his usual
health. A cable despatch was sent to
Senator Don Cameron, who Is now in
Europe with his wife and child, ap-
prising him of the attack. Last spring
the general celebrated his ninetieth
birthday at his residence in Harrisburg,
at which time the legislature called on
him in body to extend congratula-
tons. Only few days ago he sent
Governor Beaver a letter expressing
sympathy for the Johnston sufferers,
and inclosing check for ST 900. The
widow of the generals brother, James
Cameron, resides in this city. She is a
very good lady, and only last Sunday
had paralytic attack, from the effects
of which she is net expected to recover.
A messenger from the bedside of the
general In the afternoon reports that he
is no better and that he cannot recover
His death is only matter of a few
hours, It is thought.
Ex-Attorney General Wayne Nc
Veagh has expressed the opinion that
General will die before morning. AS
General CamerOn's home is five miles
from telegraph or telephone station,
it is probable that If he should die late
at night the news would not become
known until morning. James Gamer
on, son ex-senator Don Cameron, and
Simon B. Cameron are also at Donegal.
DIR. Dunott of Harrisburg, and DIR. Bach
man are in constant attendance. A
second cahlegram has been sent Sena-
tor DON Cameron, who is travelling in
Europe, accompanied by his wife.

THE HORRIBLE WORK
ora Demented Mother, Who Murders
Her Child and Kills Herself.

STERLING, Kan, June 23.-A horri-
ole case or child murder and suicide Oc-
Cured here at an early hour yesterday
morning. Mr.. o. B. Beckham went to
Hutchinson on business, and returning
late In the evening he retired without
disturbing his wife, whom he supposed
had retired, and who had on former ac-
casions asked him not to disturb her
when he came home late.
Mr.. Beckham is not sound sleeper,
but yesterday morning overslept him
self, and on going to his wife's room he
tried to open the door for the purpose
of calling her, hut found 1t locked. He
called her 10y name several times, but
receiving no answer he broke open the
door.
The first sight that met his gaze was
his little 2-year-old daughter lying
across the foot Of the bed cold in death
and his wife lying on the floor in the
agonies ofdeath with frightful wound
in her right temple and a 32 calibre re-
volver lying beside her. Medical aid
was summoned, but the victim was be-
yond medical skill and breathed her last
about IL o'clock.
In the case of the child the coroner's
jury found that 1t came to its death at
the hands of its mother either by pois-
on or smothering.
In the case of the mother it found
that she came to her death by pistol
shot fired with her own hand and that
she was at the time laboring under
fit of temporary insanity. She left the
following letter:
"MY DEAR HUsBAND-These are the
last lines will ever write you. Nav
God In heaven forgive me for what I
am about to do, for life has become in
tolerable to me on account of ofill-health.
