THE SCARCITY OF WATER.
is Not Caused by Filling the penns

is Not Caused by Filling the Pennsyl-
vania Reservoir.
There has been rumor about town to
the effect that the cause of the scarcity of
water in the reservoir at High Service
was caused by the filing of the new res
ervoir of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. Investigation proves this to be un-
true. The superintendent of the COM
pany's reservoir said yesterday that it's
capacity is about 10000 gallons, mere
drop in the big High Service supply basin.
This is but very little more water than
the company uses daily. About two
months ago when the new reservoir was
completed it was filed by the city's water,
which was metred the same as the sup
ply to that corporation has always been.
The metre is at the foot of Wiiks street.
about 100 yards from the iron covered
reservoir. The company continued to use
the city's water until last Monday, when
it began pumping its supply from tie new
wells that had been sunk at Harrison for
this purpose. The Pennsylvania Com
pany has used no more Passaic water this
summer than any other summer, and
none is used at all at present.

morning.
The ships of the Inman and White Star
steamship companies are separated from
each other by the Christopher street ferry
slips.
The City of New York was advertised
10 leave at eight O'Clock. and about
her stern to the crowds of pas
sengers on the decks of the Teutonic and
then got fairly under way She had
hardly begun to fade out of sight in the
morning mist before the Teutonic's visit
ors were told that it was time to get
ashore.
The Teutonic was slow in getting
away. She was advertised to sail at half
past eight o'clock, but did not move an
nch before forty-fiye minutes past eight.
This made her fifteen minutes late at the
start from her dock. Then she steamed
slowly into midStream and, under f1ut-
ter of waving handkerchiefs. started off
after her Inman rival.
The City of New York had a start of
thirty-eight minutes on the Teutonic, and
in that order they passed the Battery,
Liberty light and Quarantine.
The Tentonic had assumed slightly
greater speed than the City Of New York,
and in going down the Bay to Sandy
Hook gained seven minutes on her.
The City of New York was off the
HOOK, according to dispatches to the
Maritime Exchange. at 9:25 and the Teu-
tonic at 9:56 In the run to the Hook,
therefore, the Teutonic gained seven
minutes on the City of New York
The City OF New York passed out to sea
at 9:42, and the Teutonic at 1000, or twen-
ty-seven minutes later
The Teutonic left her dock thirty-eight
minutes later than did the New York,
consequently gained eleven minutes on
her in getting to the starting point.
Seven of these minutes were gained in
the run to Sandy Hook: the other four in
the run from Sandy Hook to the starting
point across the bar.

wife. When the wedding was over the
entire party adjourned to q neighboring
saloon and drank the health of the gen
erous Justice.

BAY0NNE'S GARBAGE.

1t Gives the CouncilInen Three Hours
TroubIe--Books All Right.
A business session of three hours dura-
tion was held last evening by the Bayonne
Board of Councilmen. the greater portion
of the time being taken up in debate over
the garbage removal muddle. Richard
Higgins, the contractor, asked that his
bonds be returned and his claim for work
performed during July be audited. He
averred that he had not contracted to
dump all the refuse he gathered upon the
citv's dock property on the Kill Won Kull
shore at the foot of Avenue B. The mat
ter was referred to the committee of the
whole, where the Board decided that Hig
gins should not be permitted to violate
the city's ordinances by dumping garbage
along the East Twenty stree t
water main extension, and that he could
deposit the refuse upon private property
upon permission from the owner to do so,
providing he properly covered it up and
committed no nuisance.
Street Commissioner Sandford reported
that he had expended $40. 80 in cleanin G
up the garbage Higgins left standing
upon the Sidewalks and that Higgins had
quit work entirely upon his contract.
The claim was sent to the Finance Com
mittee.
The expert accountant employed to ex
dltAu0 bAC DCOh5 VI OlIy AISeiouLCl LII u
and City Collector Combes, reported that
no discrepancies existed, except that the
latter had overpaid the city about $50.
The purchase of fifty new gas lamp posts
was authorized, and the bond of the

The New York Bay Railroad Company
petitloned for depression of four feet in
the grade of Avenue A, between West
Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth streets. The Pc
tition was endorsed by the signatures of
about ahree-fourthso of those owning prop
erty in the vicinity, and it was reported
favorably by the Committee on Water,
Streets and Drainage. The report was
adopted despite the opposition of Council
man Scofield, and an ordinance covering
the matter was introduced. The company
promised to grade. curb, pave and flag the
street. and erect a station at the bridge
over the avenue. Councilman Scofield
objected because he believed the bridge
would block an entrance to the new pub
lie park.

SALT FOR OYSTER PIRATES.
A Likelihood of Trouble About Lakes
Bay-Heavy Thefts.
Special to the JERSEY city Newa

SUtCtut 20 ttC OcFS69 CLtH ANctUS.
PLEAsANTvILLE, Aug. 20, 1890. There
is likely to be trouble around Lakes Bay
in short time. For over three months
several large oyster dealers have been
complaining of large quantities of oysters
being stolen from the beds, not as it used
to be, in the night time, but in midday.
Lakes Bay is about six miles square and
is principally shoal except in the extreme
southern part. In the shoal part is where
the oysters are planted. 1t is generally
supposed that the oysters are stolen by
Atlantic City parties.
The oyster dealers have determined to
put stop to the thieving, and have ein-
ployed armed watchmen to guard their
salt water fruit. They have ordered the
watchmen to shoot the first man who re-
fuses to surrender himself, and to load
their guns, not with regular bird shot,
but salt. From the present outlook some
one is likely to get good sailing before
many days.

The Park Fence.

A correspondent wants to know il the
MORNING News is not ''going too far" in
advocating the removal Of the park fence.
He suggests that tine removal of the fence
would goose children who make the park
a resort to danger from runaway horses.
When it was suyges ed by the MORNING
News that the fences around the public
squares should be removed there were those
who said that if the sugg sstiol were adopted
the squares would bee )ms resorts for cows
and goats, and that the grass aud trees
would be destroyed.
No one would now advise the replacing Of
the fences. The squares have not bscome
the resorts OF cows aud goats. On the
contrary, they are conspicuously free from
them, and they present a much more attrac-
tive appearance than ever before, because
the city takes care of them. With their
closely trimmed grass plats and their thrifty
trees they are far more inviting than they
were when enclosed and neglected. The
cows and goats are kept out of the streets, as
they should be. The ordinance prohibiting
them from running at large in the streets
ought to be even more strict than it is.
danger to children in the park from
runaway horses. Horses seldom run away
in the vicinity Of the park because very few
OF them are left unguarded and I'M
hitched there. Nearly all of the
runaways occur in the business
portion of the city, and, besides, if
a horse should runaway in the heighborhood
of the park he would be much more likely
TO keep in the street than to run into the
park. 1t is in the streets that children are
in danger from runaway horses.
In nearly all the larger cities of the coun-
try fences are no longer seen about squares
and parks. They are not ornamental, and
they are rather expensive. 1t has been only
a few years since the fence around the park
was repaired and reprinted at very consid-
cradle expense, and it will not be long be-
fore it will need painting again.
No effort should be spared to make the park
and squares attractive to the people. They
are the peoples property, and they should be
made TO contribute to them the greatest
possible amount of enjoyment. Not only
should they be made beautiful, but they
should be we'll supplied with benches, so that
the people might ENJOY them in comfort.
1t has been stated that the placing of
many benches in the park and squares
would attract the colored people to those
resorts Tlat, doubtless, is true, but the
colored people are here to stay, and the
the only thing that can be done is to make
ample provisions for both whites and
blacks
In warm climate like this the people
want all the outdoor comforts that can be
obtained. Let the park and squares be pro-
vided with plenty of seats. and also with
lights, so that they will be pleasant resorts
in the evening as well as during the day.

The citizens of Leland, Ia, don't allow a
little thing like a decision of the United
States supreme court to stand in their way
if they object to its effects on the COM
munity. The Original package" decision
of the supreme court met with their disap-
proval, and when several liquor dealers
proceeded to make arrangements for open
ing an Original package" depot in Leland,
the citizens got together and asserted their
inherent right of self-g government by pass
ing an ordinance declaring that it be
unlawful to sell intoxicating liquors of any
kind in Leland, and that any person violat-
ing this ordinance shall be tarred, feathered
and cowhided ont of the village" The
liquor men discovered that Leland was not
desirable place for business, and left the
village. the supreme court. by its de-
cision, has practically robbed the people of
Iowa Of their rights, and congress has
neglected TO pass the necessary law to fill
the breach left open by that decision. Who,
then, shall say, under the circumstances,
that the citizens OF Leland are wrong in
maintaining the rights guaranteed to them
by the constitution!

A Boy of His Own, Perhaps.

One day as sat in the Union depot at Cleve-
land waiting to go east, big, bluff farmer
looking man took q seat beside me, and we
were talking about this and that when a mite
of boy, ragged and dirty, and looking as if
half starved, came along and asked for aims,
relates writer in the New York Sun. He
knew 1t was against orders, and he kept one eye
on the policeman as he moved around. Each
OF US gave him something, and he went over to
man who was reading paper. He received
no response to his request and repeated it,
when the brute lowered his paper and gave the
lad cruel box on the ear The boy cried out
and came running back 20 us, and next moment
the big man crossed the space between the
benches and doomed up before the man with
the paper like mountain. His face was white
with anger, and be trembled all over as he de-
manded
Did you strike that child?"
the little beggar annoyed me-" was the
reply.
Look there numbered the big man, as he
turned and pointed TO the lad. You've struck
poor, wee child, ragged, hungry, aud heart
sick See his tears, came over here calcu-
atlng to pick you up and break you in two over
the bench. but I'm going to leave you to that
God who watch S over the poor and helpless
and downtrodden. For every tear that child
has shed heaven will demand drop of your
blood You are thing, not mana creeping,
crawling, contemplate thingl"
The other rose up, eyes flashing and lips com
pressed, and it was evident that be meant to
resent the words. Just then, however the lad,
sun digging the tears out of his eyes with his
fsts came forward and took the big man by
the hand and said
Don't fight Come away Mother is awful
sick"
The big man returned to his seat, too full to
say word for a moment, and during this in
terVal the stranger sat down, got up again,
lifted up his grip and replaced it. and finally
walked over and stood before us and said:
To say thet I'm ashamed and Inundated
this
And he left $40 bill in the lads hand and
walked from the depot with hurried step, while
the big man drew a long breath and said:
