HORRIBLY MANGLED.
A HObOken Horsecar Driven Over a
Little Child.

There was another horrible accident on
the North Hudson County Railroad in
Hoboken last evening. A three year old
child was mangled by a Grove street
car, and this morning died in great
agony at st. Mary's Hospital.
T~hree-year-old George White, of No. 4
Adams street. Hoboken, was the victim.
1t is impossible to learn just how the ac-
cideDt occurred as the usual silence is
maintained by the railroad employees,
and no one In the nei~ghborhoof saw the
child until he was under the wheels-of
the car. The accident happened shortly
after seven O'Clock. Driver John Weber.
OF No. 10 Monroe street, Hoboken, was
in charge. The car was crowded with
passengers. As the car neared the corner
of Newark ana Adams street the passen-
gers felt a jar and then n child's pitiful
scream was heard. Before the car could
be stopped there was another jar as the
hind wheels passed over the poor little
sufferer.
Then the car was stopped and the child,
moaning with pain. was picked up u
carried to a neighboring drug store. The
wheels of the heavily laden car had
passed over his right leg and crushed it
horribly. An ambulance was quickly on
the scene aud the little sufferer WAS con-
veved to the police station, where he vas
attended by City Physician Simon. Later
he was conveyed to st. Mary's Hospital,
where he died at eight O'Clock this morn
lug.
Weber, the driver, has been arrested
aud admitted to bail. Weber was also
the driver of the car that ran over a man
on Grove street one night about three
months ago.

NEwARK's WATER WORKS.
Description of the Work-Compiaints
Against the italian L lborers.

Description of the work-Compiaints
Against the italian L lborers.
The Scientific AmericdR of last week
illustrated and described the new water
supply for Newark. The illustrations are
the exception of an attempt to make a
Eirdseye view OF the country from the
reservoirs at Oak Ridge and Clinton to
be ond the Hudson River. This is chiefly
remarkable for lack of detail, and it is as
distorted as the average railroad map in
which the company has the country all
strengthened out to fit its road. From
the smaller cuts a good idea can be gained
of the manner of laying the conduit and
of building the big earth dams. The
text is handled as well as such a big uu-
dertaking can be deserted in a thousand
word article. Among other interesting
statements is the foliowinz:-
9Th general terms OF the contract en-
tered into between the East Jersey Wat
err Company and the city OF Newark are
as follows:-The works are to have 4 Ca
paciiy Of $4,000, 600 gallons daily. Upon
completion the city OF Newark Is to pay
"a, 600, 200. For this It is to have the priv
ilege OF drawing "a, 500. 900 gallons daily
up to the year 1906. Until this period the
company can draw all the water not used
by the city of Newark. In 1900 Newark
is to get possession or the entire water
supply, and is to pay the company an adj
ditional sum OF 100000 the East Jersey
Water Company operating Il maintain
ing the WORKS until 1900. Before that
time the company will have TO build
other works TO supply its customers
meantime supplied the Newark con-
duit.p
In regard to the conduit the writer
states:-"The extreme range OF tsmpera-
sure to which it is possible 10 be sub
ected is forty five degrees Fab. while the
robable variation is not over half that
pmount. The pipe is so designed that
changes of length caused by variations of
temperature eau be safely borne by the
elasticity of the whole structure"
Complaints made of thieving by italian
workmeu at the reservoirs. They have
raided potato fields and gardens. aud are
evening. The discipline over the
men. Is much less thorough than
it was under the late Mr.. Hoxsey's
rule, and the present management
seems to be Indifferent to the residents
OF the neighborhood in more ways
than one. The work is now controlled
by Engineer Herschel aud men of his
selection, and the New Jersey end of the
water syndicate has been pretty persist
entity snubbed. Certain leases were made
some time since under direction of Gar
ret A. Hobart of Paterson. An attempt
wa nav " AAoSAGAAS "a
but MIR. Hobart put his foot down finally
and the arrangements stand good.
The work of blasting out the stumps in
Clinton reservoir aud Oak Ridge has
been carried on for some weeks, out is
far from being finished. Excepting this.
aud cutting down (not roofing QUIT under
brush, little or nothing has been done il
tue way of cleaning the bottom of the
reservoirs. The part flooded at Clinton is
especially foul, but IL is now concealed
from the eye.

C0MST0CK'S CHANCE,
And He Missed It-Uncle sam Sell

II Anthony Comstock had been at the
Federal building yesterday. when United
States Marshall Bndd Deacon, held his
auction of goods confiscated By the
Governments that Warren b. Smith, the
millionaire carpet manufacturer OF
Yonkers, is said to rave tried to smuggle
into this country, he would have been
shocked. Marshall Deacon exposed to
view thiFsy-one pictures, a half-dozen Of
which were OF nude women, aud were
decidedly obscene. They were photo
were knocked down 10 Mr.. Cash for
thirty-ise cents each.
The list Of the goods sold was pub
lished in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS yester-
day. Tire total amount they were APP
praised for by tue Custom House officers
was s., 714, and the duty ON them was
se99. SO. Tie amount Marshall Deacon
received for the goods was 81, $50 so,
which is sl,6S341 less than the appraised
value.
Of the goods sold, one Wright, an ex-
Custom House officer, who acted rs agent
for Warren b. Smith, 1t was said. bought
S662 10 worth, getting the most choice
articles. A Mr.. Faircnild bought n dia-
mond and sapphire fipgsr ring for $35. and
a diamond aud ruby scarf pin tor $38.
Henry Demmert bought n turquoise
breast pin for SIS so, which he saiu was
worth $40. He ought to know for he is a
dealer. These articles mentioned were
about the only one worth striving for
that Mr.. Wright allowed to escape him.
A plaque that was marked as worth "a
cents was sold for Si.6D. The thirty pairs
Of sllk stockings were sold to w. Ross for
