ESSEX JAIL CROWDED.
Also Suffering From Dearth Of
Water.
Special to the Jersev cltv Ne,cs.

NEWARK, Nov. 16, 1891.-A most serious
condition of things prevails at the Cald-
well Penitentiary of Essex county. A
water famine exists and the sanitary con-
Gition of the prison at the present time is
such that a most serious epidemic will
ensue unless there is immediate relief.
AS it is there is more sickness at the peni-
tentiary than is usually the case. The
prison is also very much overcrowded,
some of the prisoners sleeping two In a
cell. Que of them Is of necessity COM
pelled to sleep on the floor. as there is
only accommodation for one prisoner in
each cell.
WATER VERY SCARCE.
The principal difficulty has to do with
the water supply. which istrawn usually
from a large spring at the rear of the
penitentiary buildings. This spring is
now practically dry and the prisoners are
without water to wash themselves with,
while the closets have not been flushed
out for several days. Water has been
carted from the neighboring wells. and
some of 1t used to flush out the traps
through the buildings. Each cell has a
closet, and water has been carried about
the building in buckets.
For five minutes during each day a
small supply of water has been turned
| into the house SO that the convicts could
| have small basin full for personal uses,
| but 1t has been Immediately turned off.
| The building would be absolutely at the
mercy of the flames if a fire should be
started, and there might be heavy loss OF
| life. The pond from which the supply OF
water has been drawn is about $50 feet
| square, and of late the water has been
extremely unwholesome. Several of the
cases of illness in the penitentiary are di.
| rectly traceable to the drinking water.
| Carbolic acid has been spread throughout
the building as disinfectant.
DEFICIENT FOR YEARS
For three years the supply of water has
| been inadequate. and the matter of secur-
| ing new supply has been under consid-
Grafton. The Jail Inspection COMMITTEES
| of the County Board of Freeholders, who
| have the care of the Caldwell Peniten-
| tiary, have had under consideration the
| driving of several wells on the premises
| for an independent supply Of, water fol
| the use of the prisoners: but this has been
| delayed, and 1t was expected to have the
| WORK done some time during the spring
or next summer. The drought from
which the country has been suffering OF
| face to face with the necessity for some
| immediate action.
Warden Murray also complained to
| Freeholder Kinsey Of the serious over
crowding of the penitentiary build
| ing, which makes matters worse. Some
alterations are in progress In a part of the
| east wing and this closes Torty-dve cells
| for female prisoners. AS the female
prisoners must have separate cells, the
| number occupied by the male prisoners is
reduced to 221 cells. There are now IL
the penitentiary PAL male prisoners, and
| to accommodate these men seventeen OF
| the cells are occupied by two men each

THREE HORSES ROASTED.
A Hot Fire in Warmers Stables-Pr'
ably Started by Tramps.

Hot Fire in Warmers StabIes-Prob-
ably Started by Tramps.
A long continued, loud shrieking of
railroad steam engine whistle in the
Pennsylvania freight yard early Sunday
morning awoke most of the residents in
the lower part of the city. .
The stables of Charles Warmers. the
feed dealer at 410 and 416 Henderson
street, were aflame, and the engine whis-
ties were the first alarms. The flames
broke out in the lower part of the stable
and it was not long before the hay and
stray caught the flames and the interior
was soon flaring furnace.
Three valuable truck horses, which
were inside, were burned to death before
aid could reach them. They were valued
at 81, 500. The fire engines were soon at
the scene, but the firemen were unable to
do anything but save the adjoining build
ings.
Superintendent Brown thinks the
fire was started by some of the
tramp who hung about the neighborhood
and would very probably sleep in the sta
bles. The police have no hope of
arrested the crowd that is responsible for
this fire, but will probably Keep the dis
tricI clear of buns for some time to come.
The loss to the building is $500.

ime your refusal to act would perhaps
have resulted in some disaster to those
who stood in close relationship to you.
You know that there should be at least
one more person besiue you receivin
along with you the sentence of this Court
TO-DAY.
"A revelation of these facts at a
proper time would most certainly have
resulted in great mercy to you, but 1t is
too late now. 1t is lamentable and re-
gretable fact that the leaders and pro-
moters of this conspiracy are
now by reason of the statute Of limita-
tions beyond the reach of the hands Of
justice, but their guilty forms can neve
be concealed from the eyes of the pub
lie.
'While this Court is as fully in pos
session of the facts of your case as it, can
be IN possession of anything not the SUBJ
ject of sworn evidence before the Court;
yet 1t can see nothing which now at this
stage initiates in your favor.
"Your mother has pleaded very hard
with some of the friends of the Court to
have you saved from imprisonment. You
have large family. She is willing to
sell her property If the Court will impose
the heaviest fine allowed by law to
pay it. Many friends have interceded for
you. But it must be understood that
neither personal nor political influence
can swerve the Court from the
imposition of the sentences re-
quired by the administration of justice,
and ] think it is proper here to say in
order to set at rest some rumors which
have reached our ears, it is the earnest
desire of the Court to have every one of
these cases disposed of without inter
mission. by continuous trial, saw
ing only the time necessary
to argue the casa now pending in the
c ourt of Errors and Appeals of this
State, and we urge upon all concern ed
the swift performance of duty that this
end may be attained. The sentence
of The Court is that you be sentenced to
Imprisonment at hard labor in the State
Prison for the term of eighteen months,
ana from thence until the costs Of prose-
cution are paid"

BLANKET FURST SURRENDERs.
Eight Hundred Pairs Delivered at Snail
Hill Per Contract

Eight Hundred Pairs Delivered at Snake
Hill Per Contract.
Charles S. Furst, the contractor, who
recently endeavored by "tricks that are
vain and ways that are dark" to get
the best of this county about $500
has found himself looser to tn at
amount. Furst was ordered by the Board
of Freeholders at the last meeting to fur
nish 800 pair of blankets as he
contracted to do for twenty-five cents a
pair and was told that if he did not
the same would be bought in open mar
ket and charged against him. He was
given until last Tuesday to furnish the
goods.
On Tuesday the 800 pairs of blankets
were sent to Snake Hill by the very sly
contractor who lost by the specula-
tion, the particulars of which
have been told in THE NEWS,
about $500. Freeholders Ellis and Coyle
deserve the thanks of the taxpayers for
the fearless manner In which they pre-
vented Charles S. Furst from carrying
out mis- scheme.

DANGEROUS PILLARS.
North Hudson Railroads Nuisance on
Central Avenue.

There is much dissatisfaction among
those who are compelled to drive along
Central avenue over the condi-
n ion in which the bases of
s.he elevated railroad pillars have
been lett. There is no guard about the
base, ana the shock of buggy wheels
striking the pillars violently is likely
either to cause. runaway as
in the case of eX-Alderman McArthur's
horse last Friday, or to upset the We
hices.
The pillars of the Pennsylvania ele-
waited road are being guarded at
the base by sort of ball-shapod iron
guard which fits over The foot of
the pillar and presents rounded
surface from which wheels glance
readily. Many of the residents along the
route of the North Hudson road are talk
ing of petitioning the company TO so
guard its pillars.
