This Morning.

The session of the Street and Water
Commissioners this morning was unusu-

for the Improvement of jackson avenue,
between the Newark and New York
Railway and Fairmount avenue.
The resolutions passed by the Sixth
district properly Owners Association,
asking for new and wholesome supply
of water, and pledging its support in se-
curing such supply, were received and re-
ferred to the Committee of the Whole.
The report of Wharfinger Kelly for

was ordered filed.
Finance Commissioners ana the distribu-
tion of liquor license moneys were read

The improvement of Fifteenth street

was the signal for this war TO break
loose The proceedings at Camden
on Saturday show that it is to cover
the whole field of politics from the
Presidential. contest down. General
Grubb is to lead the Blaine free lances
against General Sewell's Harrisonian
machine. The first struggle will be
for the National delegation. Then
will come the knitting of the success
full by the vanquished faction, to be
followed in due course by successive
vengeances year after year according
as this or that faction controls the
nominations.
We fully agree with the State Ga
zette in it's representations for the
next three years. But we rather think
the real fun will start in about the
close OF that period.

The interest in the opening of the New
Opera House seems to have extended to
New York. An order for seats from that
city was received this morning, but Man
ager Mullone was unable to ill 1t as the
whole house except the gallery has been
sold out.
The whole theatre-going population of
the city seems to be agog, for the sale of
seats for the Academy tonight has been
unusually large. 1t is scarcely to be Won
dered at, for "All the Comforts of Home"
is one of the brightest comedies in the
Frohman repertoire.

Special to the Jersey City Ne,cs.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. IA, 1S91.-The
observers and crop correspondents of
the New Jersey State Weather Service
report for the week ending Friday last,
that the rainfall has been above and the
temperature and sunshine below the
seasonal average in all the districts except
the extreme north vest. These conditions
have. very generally, retarded the fall
plowing and seeding, except in the section
noticed, where favorable conditions pre-
vailed, SO that this work has been COM
pleted. Corn is in fine condition, but has
made little or no progress toward matur-
ity. Fruits. especially peaches, melons
and tomatoes have Jared badly, but the
bright sunshine on the last two days has
greatly helped the picking and shipping.
Prof. Halsted, in a recent visit to Glou-
cester and Camden counties, found that
the fields of egg-pan.s we're usually in a
bad condition, many of them so seriously
blighted as to be entirely worthless. The
stem of the affected plant begins to decay
at or near the surface of the ground and
the leaves wilt, turn brown and die. The
trouble starts in the hotbed as seedlings
when spotted out" are sometimes found
thus diseased and therefore great care
should be exercised in selecting plants
for the field that have perfectly healthy
STEMS particular attention being paid to
that portion near the surface of the
ground.

Only II WASN'T Done.

The Newark Journal, with accus-
toned inaccuracy when dealing with
affairs in this city, says the Women's
Christian Temperance Union fountain
has not been supplied with water this
summer because of the wickedness of
Democratic officials. The simple fact
of the matter is, we believe, that the
water was cut off last winter, the sup
ply not being needed and the permit
having expired. This summer, the
Water Registrar did not order the
water turned on because the Board
did not ordes it. The Board did not
order it because no one made applica-
ton, and the Commissioners did not
care to take the initiative because
they were afraid the quality of the
water might give strangers bad i'm
preston.
They do not care to extend the ty-
phoid hospital-ities of the season to
visitors, as Newark seems to have
done with remarkable freedom.
