UNKNOWN HEROES.


Not to the brave upon the battlefield
Alone the palms Of victory belong;
Nor only to the great of earth tho song
OF praise and pecan should the singer yield
Greater the souls that snglehanded WELD
The battle axe against the hosts of wrong,
Unknown, unnoted in lfe's reckless throng,
And only in Gods day to stand revealed.
How many such in patient, humble guise
Beside lis walk their grief appointed wayi
Nobly enduring, worthiest to shine
AS fixed stars in fame's eternal skies.
For these, for this / reverently lay
On their dear dust this little leaf Of mine

and SO they announce that with the beginning OF
the seventeenth volume November, 1897 81.

HARRISON, n. J., March 80 1885,
Engens Mckinney, young man living
on Cleveland avenue, Harrison, on the
Passaic River side Of Hudson county,
appeared before Justice Lynch in the
Harrison Police Court Friday night and
made complaint that Mrs. Flick was keep
ing a policy shop at First and Essex
streets. The Justice prepared warrant
and placed iE in the hands Of Sergeant
Eagan, who took several officers with rim
70 Mrs. Fick's He found nothing going
on, as the parties had evidently been
warned. He saw Mrs. Flick and told her
that she was under arrest. but he allowed
her to remain at home until eight o'clock
yesterday morning, when he said she
must appear before Justice Lynch This
she did, and the Justice placed her under
bail to the amount OF $500 to await the
action Of the Grand Jury. AS the COM
plant was made by one who saw policy
slips sold the chances are that the charge
will be strongly pressed before that body,
and Mrs. Flick, in her old age, stands q
fair chance to go to prison.
Mrs. Flick. who is about sixty years old
and mas long lived in Harrison, is the
owner OF several houses and lots IN the

Mrs. Flick sold some OF her property at
good prices to the company. She has
made ali her money ont OF the policy
game which she carried on IN the base
ment of her house on First and Essex
streets.
There she carried on, under the shad-
ows Of the pool rooms here, policy bust
ness in a small way. Men and women,
a large number of them colorsd, daily
visited the place and bought policy num-
bers. So well carried out were Mrs.
Ffck's plans TO secure secrecy in getting
her customers into the place without at
tracing attention that no one suspected
that the policy business was in operation
In Harrison.
She herself acted as lookout from a sec
ond-st0ry window in the rear of the
house. The players would enter gate
on the front Of the lot and pass alongside
the house TO the rear In coing 50 they
were ia fun view Of Hrs. Flick Il She
knew them to be all right they were al
lowed to pass into the inner room Of the
basement, where policy slips were being
sold. II from her standpoint Mrs. Flick
did not recognize the party coming in she
gave a signal, and the stranger got no
farther than the outer room Of the base
ments where ordinary kitchen work would
be found going on.

Special to the Sunday Morning Neaes.
NEWARK, March 20, 1890. --The residence
of Mr.. George Graft. No. 3591S Summer
avenue, was visited by burglar at an
early hour yesterday morning. The bur
glar was discovered by one of the inmates
of the house and frightened Off before he
had an opportunity to secure anything
but small amount of money.
About three O'Clock yesterday morning
Miss Eliza Murphy, teacher in the Sum
mer avenue school, who resides in the
house, was awakened by hearing some
one fumbling at the bureau in her bed
room on the top floor of the house. She
called out who is thereS" and as she did
SO saw in the dim light of the room the
outline of man sinking down upon his
hands and knees Miss Murphy then
heard him crawl across the floor on all
fours to the foot of her bed. She sprang
up and leaned over the foot
board and saw the burglar crouch
ing close to the bed. She shouted You
thief, you thief, GET out of herer' The
man growled at her and Miss Murphy
kept up the cry OF sthief thief thiefW
until finally the burglar began to crawl
across the floor to the door leading out
into the hallway. On reaching that
place he arose to an upright position and
went bounding down the stair-caSes to
the first floor and ran out of the front
door into the street. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Graft are little deaf and it was some
few minutes before they were awakened
by Miss Mnrphy's cries. BY the time
they were aroused the burglar had maze
good his escape.
On examination it was found that all
the plumber he had secured was pocket
book containing a small sum Of money
belonging to Miss Murphy.

BUILDING THE RESERVOIRS.
Progress OF the work to Furnish Newark
with New Water Supply
Special to the Sunday Morning Mems

Special to the Sunday Morning Ners
DOVER. March 20. 90.-In the heart OF
Pequannock Valley. near Oak Ridge. a
railroad station about ten miles west of
Dover, workmen are now preparing the
sites for the new reservoirs which are to
be the fountain-heads of Newark s water
supply. The rod men and Jewellers have
about completed their tasks of laying out
the site OF the largest OF the series of
three reservoirs to be built. After much
consideration the engineers in charge
have decided to build the huge dam,
which is 10 form q water-back for the
purpose OF flooding the whole valley, at a
place where the Oak Ridge and Milford
turnpike crosses the Pequannock River
This dam will be 40 feet high and 100 feet
broad at the base. tapering upwards until
at the top the masonry will be only 80
feet broad. The dam will extend across
the valley for a distance of one half
mile at least
The capacity of the reservoir can
hardly be estimated as yet The dam is
expected to hold in check many millions
of gallons of water, however, and will be
constructed of earth and solid masonry.
At present the ground is being cleared OF
all timber, brush and every particle of
unclean substance, after which the bot
tom and sides of the valley will probably
be graveiled. The spillway TO be built
in connection with this reservoir will be
tunnelled through the solid rock The
workmen have already begun the task Of
blasting and soon the spillway viii be
completed from one side of the proposed
reservoir to spot alongside the river be-
low the dam.
The winter has been very mid and the
building operations have been therefore
advanced with great rapidity. Men are
now at work laying coffer dam about
fifty feet above the place where the large
dam will be located in order to facilitate
the greater work down upon bed rock

WHY DID HE TAKE THE MONEY!


Bookkeeper Stimson Had No Bad
Habits 8 s. 600 Gone.
The announcement yesterday Of the
arrest of Bookkeeper George w. Stimson.
of the Jersey City Beef Company. whose
establishment is located on Ninth street,
near Erie, on charge Of embezzling
5000 of that firms moneys, fell like a
thunderbolt among the many friends of
the genial bookkeeper.
No one seems to be able to account for
Mr.. Stimson's conduct. He voluntarily
confessed his guilt to the firm. and his
arrest followed upon the strength of his
own admissions. He confessed to having
for number Of years carried on q sys-
tematic series Of robberies.
The knowledge that sooner or later his
upon him. The voluntary confession of
mis- guilt was made to relieve an over
burdened mind.
He is a comparatively young man.
Only twenty-six. Two years ago he mar
ried, and has since been living in an ele-
gantly furnished fiat at No. 2l0 Pavonia
avenue He has one bright, prattling
little youngster year old. He was re-
ceiving a salary of 81, 900 a year. He was
given to no bad habits. He neither drank
to excess, gambled nor bet upon horse
races. What has become of the money
he embezzled is as much of mystery To
his friends as is his conduct.
Expert accountants are at present en-
gagged in going over the books he has
kept for the past eight years. and IL is rel
ported that the amount embezzIed viii
probably foot up 5000.

SENATOR NICHOLS PosTmAsTnRsHIP.
Given to Him to Keep Him Out of the
Congressional Fight.

Special to the Sunday Morning Neaus
WASHINGTON, March 20. 1890. The APP
pointment OF ex-senator Nichols, Of Cum
berland county, as postmaster of Bridge
ton, is said to be the result Of deal, the
basis of which is that the ex-senator is
not to be candidate for Congress against
Bergen next fall. The Bridgeton post
Office has given both Bergen and Sewell
great deal of trouble, and the appoint
ment has been deferred until the last
hour. Nichols was for years q strong
anti-Sewell man and he carried his pre-
JUDGE so far that he refused to accept a
railroad job from the hands of Sewell
Adversely is understood to be the reason
for the surrender of Nichols, he having
sold his newspaper and retired from
active business some time ago. The APP
pointment has offended the orthodox
S5eweH men of the county and also the
Grand Army people.

superior court was occupied yesterday with
the trial of Titus Sandiford (colored) on the
charge of an indecent assault upon Laura
Green, co!ored girl of Is. The offense is
alleged to have been committed on Dutch

Justice Naughtin committed John Brown
(coloreD to Jail yesterday on two charges
of burglary. The prisoner was run to cover
by Detective Wetherhorn for stealing three
sacks of rice and caddy of tobacco from

THE JOCKEY CLUB MOVEMENT.
A Meeting for Reorganization to be
Held Tomorrow Night.

Meeting for Reorganization to be
Held Tomorrow Night.
Those who have interested themselves in
the proposed reorganization of the Savan-
nah Jockey Club will be glad to learn that
the movement has taken a definite shape,
and that there will be meeting in the Pu-
lash house parlors tomorrow night for
that purpose, and there is every reason to
believe that the club will enter upon q new
career with large membership and under
very fatteriug auspices.
Col. George s. Owens, the veteran presi-
dent, has entered heartily into the project,
and pI omiseS to lend his valuable aid in the
effort to place Savannah in its old pg sltion
as one of the leading cities in turf affairs.
All former members of the club and other
gentlemen interested in racing are invited
TO attend the meeting tomorrow night.
Among matters to be discussed will PROB
ably be the time Of holding the races Ii
the members meet with the SUCCESS which
they have reason 20 expect the time of
holding the races will doubtless be settled
for either this spring and fall or this fall and
next spring. The races depend upon the
ability of the club to get horses here.
A gentleman writing from Charleston said
that South Carolina is very much inter
sent three names to be added to the
membership. He suggested that Sa-
vannah is the best point in this part
of the country to winter horses. Northern
horses can be transported here by steamer
at a nominal expense, and the climate is
very favorable for horses coming from the
north and west. When the old Jockey club
was in existence a good many horses were
wintered in Savannah.
