that water was flowing into the boiler pit
which isabout six feet below the surface of
the cellar of the building. The water kept
coming in, increasing in raDidity until on
Friday morning the entire basement in
the big building was flooded 1t was the
case with all the cellars along Montgom-
cry street and Newark avenue. from
Washington street to the City Hall.
Workuaen employed by the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Company to connect the
new Plymouth street sewer with the
sewer on Washington street had stopped
up the latter sewer to enable them to
make a connection more easily. This
stopDage caused the sewer to fill up and
over flow.
The city officials were promptly notified
OF the disaster, and Street Commissioner
Philip Tumilty set ABOUT investigating
the stoppage.
The press room of THE JERSEY CITY

was three feet OF it in the pit over which
the big press is built The boilers were
two-thirds submerged in water and tn
powerful machinery looked cold and tired
in the muddy depths. 1t was seen at
once that There was no hope OF printing
the paper on its own press, and arrange

May, Of New York, to print such part of
the edition as could be gotten out in time.
This firm took hold of the work in the
most skilful way and under the circum-

Chief Farrier took personal direction of
work, and was assisted by Firemen
Matthew Bligh, Daniel Donohue, and
William Tor0ett. 1t was simple matter
for the engine to pump out the press
room of The NEWS, but the suction pump
was not powerful enough to reach the
boiler room which Is III the rear of the

Charles D. J. Noelke was arraigned
In the Court of General Sessions this
morning on an indictment for libel.
Soon after the last charter election
Mr. Noelke had occasion to write
Il public letter which was published in
the Evening Journal. In this letter Mr..
Noelke accused Anthony j. Dwyer, an
election officer, of having not read the
names ON the ballots as they were printed,
skipping the name of Simeon Smith and
reading that of John Hart.
This accusation aroused Dwyer's ire
and TO prove that there never was any
ballot box stuffing in the Third dis
trict he went before the last
Grand Jury and demanded that Noelke
be indicted. The request was refused

much curiosity. The burly form of Jack
Sturgis occupied all the space in one of
the booths.
Yesterday afternoon an erratic German
entered the District Court and frightened

that he had murdered a man. Lewis
brought him down to the police station

He is undoubtedly insane.
