proof against corrosion for all time. The
people most deeply interested in providing
and laying the pipe generaliz3 consider
ably when speaking of its probable term
of usefulness. and the most explicit pre-
diction they give Isl "Pshawl 1t will last
practically forever" or, you viii never
see the day when It will be necessary TO
renew II" This latter expression may
be truthful when said to n man OF fifty or
sixty years, but how about the youngsters
who will have to depend upon the water
twenty-five years hence?
One thing m8y be truthfully said about
the pipe. 1t is the best of its kind. The
steel of which it Is formed is wonderfully
smooth on the surface and free from
imperfections. 1t Is homogeneous and in
excess Of the required strength under the
tests applied. The manufacture of the
pipe is done with the most improved
appliances, and the joining afield Is sub
jected TO the most rigid inspection. The
stone work at the reservoirs is certainly
satisfactory and the core and earth dams
are said to be excellent ia construction.
One thing which Will bear close watch
ing, however, Is the clearing up Of the
reservoir site. The best authorities on
water storage say that the stumps, brush
and peat bog should all be removed.
This Is point which would be naturally
shirked II the remissness could be con-
cealed beneath the water.
1t is now regarded as an assured fact
that the East Jersey Water Company will
do its utmost to get the work completed
before cold weather sets In, and that
Newark can have Pequanuock water
before May /, 1892, IL Newarkers want 1t
sooner.

PAINT MAKERS STRIKE.

Thirty OF c. A. wooIsey's Men Ask the
Reinstatement OF Con. Rogan.
Thirty employees of the c. A Woolsey
paint works on Grand street refused TO
work this morning owing to the fact that
Superintendent Frank woolsey dis
charged Con. Roean, an alleged disturber
and disorganizer among the employees.
Ro0an has been in the employ of th e
company for about two years and until
two months ago acted as foreman in the
color grinding department. Superintend-
ent Woolsey, discovering that he was not
fit TO be foreman, placed Jacob Hill in
charge OF the department. Rogan was a
friend of Hills and often neglected his
own work and disturbed the other en-
ployes. superintendent Woolsey finally
discharged the man.
Rogan informed Hill that he had been
discharged, and ten minutes later Hill.
Andrew Wilson and Patrick Toomey put
on THAR coats and informed Superinten-
dent Woolsey that unless Rogan was
reinstated they would mob WORK. Mr..
Woolsey refused to reinstate the man,
aud the three men left the works.
Yesterday was the regular pay day, and
the thirty men and eight girls were paid
off. As they left the building, Hill,
Rogan. Wilson and Toomey accosted the
employees and succeeded In getting the
men to refuse to work. The eight girls
did not join the strike.
The men hung around the works ali the
morning, until Chief of Police Murphy.
who was notified of the trouble, sent
Policeman Keilt to guard the place and
prevent any outbreak. Three drivers
also refused to work, stating that the
strikers had threatened to do them bodily
harm if they delivered any goods from
the works.
Il don't understand why the men
should striKe," said Superintendent
Woolsey this morning. "a half-dozen
of the men told me this morning that
they were glad that Rogan had been dis
charged, but that they quit work be-
cause Foreman Hill he'd requested them
TO do so. We have not reduced the
wages. nor have they made any demand
for an increase.
"Uuless the men work tomorrow viii
hire new men. Experienced workmen
are not required, aud we can teach them
in an hour what to do. The men do not
belong to any union, and what they are
to gain by striking cannot understand
We will not reinstate Rogan, as be 10 not
the kind or q man we want around"
Rogan, Hill, Wilson and Toomey were
lettering about the works last night, and
were slightly intoxicated. Chief Murphy
directed Policeman Keilt to arrest anv
man who attempted to raise a disturb
ance.

KEARNEY WANTS PARKS.
No Boulevard Till We Have Them,
Says the Township Committee.

The Township Committee Of Kearney
has taken a stand against the Board Of
Freeholdsrs in the Boulevard project, on
the ground that an expenditure of money
for this purpose is unnecessary and should
not be permitted until pubic park sites
have been selected and paid for.
The committee also condemns the ac-
ton OF Director-at-Large BrugGemann
10 refusing TO sign the first issue OF park
bonds and declares its Willingness to ioin
with the Park Commissioners In carrying
the public park question to q successful
termination.
The following resolutions were received
by Park Commissioner Tnurston this
morning.
Whereas, It Is proposed By the Park Com
missioners Of Hudson County to issue bonds for
the purpose Of providing for the enjoyment and
recreation Of the people; and
Whereas The Director at Large OF the Board

have been commenced In the courts to compel

tuted to delay tie issue Of the aforesaid bonds,
and thereby to frustrate the benehcent plans Of
the Park Commissioners; and,

of the Township OF Kearny. That the Corpora
tion Attorney be instructed TO take such action
as he may deem advisable ia said matter. either
in conjunction with the Park Commissioners or
otherwise; to have the said acts and proceedings
OF the Park Commissioners Sustained; and be il

whereas, It is believed that the hostility of
the Board OF Ereeholders and the Director
thereof to the Park Commissioners Is due 10 the

THE FISH DIED OF THE HEAT.
A New Theory About the Dangerous Pol
luton of brakes Pond.
Special to TIE JERSEY citg Nelcs.

Special to the Jersey citv Nelcs.
NEWARK, June 20, 1s91.-Drake's pond,
Irvington. was visited by hundreds OF
curious people Sunday to witness the re-
suit of the mysterious death-dealing
power to the finnY inhabitants of that
placid little body of water. The hun
dreds of dead fish which had been washed
upon the banks, and in state OF decom-
position. Saturday created an almost I'M
bearable stencil yesterday. Visitors in
variabiy cut their investigations sno:t, in
consequences of the sickening odors.
DR.. Wade, the Health Inspector, has
notified Nahlon Drake, who owns the
pond, that the dead fish must be removed
at once. 1t Is necessary that the order be
complied with, the doctor says. as the
health of the village Is imperilled. The
lives of the people 10 Elizabeth, who draw
their water supply from this stream, are
in absolute jeopardy. as thousands OF fish
are lying IN the water and slowly decay
ing DR.. Wade Is now inclined to believe
that the cause of the wholesale slaughter
was due principally to the elements. The
pond was drained last winter, and never
filled up to n size sufficient to carry the
water over the dam. In consequence the
water became sfagnant, and during the
excessive heat last week the fish were so
tortured by the heat that they could not
live.
Those who support the theory that fish
ermeu exploded dynamite magazine in
the lake in order to make big haul of
fish, point to the fact that no fish came
ashore at Dursnd's pond, which lies just
below the Drake pond. The doctor, how
ever, explains this by saying that the Du.
rand pond sis very much deeper and bet
ter protected by trees, and the fish mad
better chance to escape the heat. Eliza
beth residents are very much exercised
over the condition Of affairs.

FINANClERS TAKE NOTE.
Destructive Fire Eages and no Alarm
Can Be Rung-A Bad
Situation.

The urgent necessity Of an entirely new
alarm system for the Fire Department
made itself apparent early this morning,
when Watchman Patrick Farmer OF the
Jersey City Paper Mills discovered flames
issuing from the tarrirg room Of STRAIT
ford's oakum works on Cornelison ave-
nue. He ran to box No. 6s and attempted
to send I'm an alarm. and after vast
ing five minutes In endeavorin e
TO open the box abandoned IL and tele-
Dhoned TO Police Headquarters. Fully
twenty minutes were consumed In get
ting the alarm to Fire Headquarters. and
In the meantime the flames had gained
such headway that the entire plant
seemed doomed to destruction.
The firemen confined their efforts TO
keeping the flames from spreading to the
adjoining buildings, and in this they
were successful
The fire ragged for nearly two hours.
TIE building. which was a one-story
frame structure, was completely gutted,
value Of 5000, were destroyed
The origin Of the fire is unknown. The
loss is partially covered by insurance.
Box No. Gs, from which the alarm
should have been given, has beec useless
for the past six years. and Superintendent
has so notified the Board of Fire Com
mlssioners, bat no attention has been
paid to his requests for new alarm boxes
and wires.
unless immediate action Is taken by
the Board or Finance for the relief OF the
