GENERAL GRUBB.
An Early Sunday Morning Home
Coming, But His Friends
We're There.

The long sought supply of Grubb for
the Republican party arrived at Quaran-
tine at eight O'Clock Sunday morning on
the steamer LA Touraine- II was greeted
by party Of one hundred Republicans
who had chartered the tug boat
Diamond to take them there. When
the tug approached La Touraine.
bombs were discharged from the tug and
hurrahs were given with will General
Grubb was quickly informed of the re-
ception, and with pleased smile ne
waved his hand to all on the Diamond,
while the ships officers were placing
steps down the side of the steamer to
transfer him. The greeting between the
Minister and his friends WAS u warm one
and one that General Grubb will not for
get. In response to brief address OF
welcome delivered by Captain John
Graham, the Minister said the hearty
greeting affected him deeply, for it was
entirely unexpected. He had not antici-
pated any demonstration. and mad ex-
pected to land with the other passen gers
and go quietly to his home. He ex-
planned that the cause Of his return at the
present time was his desire to keep a
promise that he made before he was sent
to Spain as United States Minister. He
had promised the Kearnv Brigade that it
should have its annual reunion at his
home on Septem Der IA, ana he haQ OD-
tained leave Of absence only for this
purpose.
Referring to his acts as Minister, he
said he had labored hard to establish re-
ciprocity between this country and Spain,
for he had met much opposition. He con-
graduated the people on the commercial
relations with Cuba, and said this coun-
try would derive great benefit from
them, and that, besides. large field for
the sale of machinery mad been oDened
to the manufacturers In the United
States.
The General said that he had been in
strumental in having fines on American
ships amounting to 500, 200 refunded by
the Spanish government, they having
been imposed through technicalities of
the law.
The Diamond steamed rapidly to the
pier of the French line of steamers, and
after the Minister arranged to have mis-
baggage passed, the boat crossed the river
to the Pennsylvania station, where Min
lister Grub, after bidding the party a
hearty farewell, boarded a special car, ac-
companied by his mother and daughter,
and at thirteen minutes past ten a. m.
started for Camden.
Among those who had greeted the Gen.
eral were about fifty members of the E.
Burd Grubb Pioneer Corps of Beverly, a
delegation from the Newark Indians, a
committee from the Thirty-seventh Regi-
ment, New Jersey Volunteers, and others
in their individual capacity from all over
the State.

In the evening Mr.. Scudder preached on
the fruitful subject OF Passaic water. The
following is u summary or his remarKs:-
sIn certain passage of Scripture the
sacred writer speaks of spewing water
out of his mouth because of it's often
swiness. If he were here today he would
have saved himself the trouble, Tor L
doubt if he would put Jersey City water
into his mouth, for it Is fact no longer
to be disguised that we are drinking
diluted sewerage Good water is one OF
the prime essentials of healthful
more important to a municipal
ity than its water supply. Foul
years ago / inveighed against the dis
colored, odoriferous compound which
passes in this city for water. and was
severely criticised in some quarters for
my plainness of speech. Once more lift
up my voice in the interest of suffering
humanity. and trust that the present agi-
tation in behalf of pure water may be
efficacious and bring speedy relief to an
overpatient community. / have lived in
New YORK, Brooklyn, Chicago,
San Francisco and Minneapolis and
travelled in every continent
of the globe, and yet must say that
never in all my experience have tasted
such stuff as flows from my faucet IN Jer-
sey City. After a calm and careful eX-
animation of the same. declare IL TO pc
foul stream resembling bilge water IN
color. and possessing seml-putrescent,
nauseating odor. never drink it with
out feeling that l have compromised
my self-respect; and as matter
of fact not drop passes into
my mouth at home without being
boiled once and filtered three times. l
have had one case of typhoid fever in my
house, and that arose from drinking un-
filtered water, and ever since the mem
Lers of my family have been extremely
careful. The water, as it comes to ms. is
not fit to drink, and scarcely fit to bathe
in."
Mr.. Scudder then gave leaf from his
own experiences, concluding as follows:-
II do not wonder that people are resus-
ing to pay their water tax. AT times it
ought to be called q mud tax. Why not
call things by their right names.
wonder, also. now long an out
ragged public will endure the present
years nhe water has become worse and
worse. and in the future it will be still
worse unless we obtain some other supply

whence the new supply comes or who
supplies it, but T know voice the senti-
ment of the people when | say 'Let it
come. and come as speedily as possible"
