PEQUANNOCK WATER.
No Settlement Probable With the
Owners of Water Rights Below
the Reservoirs.

NEWARK, Jan. 8, 1S9l.-The East Jersey
Water Company has not as yet made any
arrangements with the owners OF water
rights on the Pequannock river below the
Macopin intake, where the water supply
for Newark will start through the pipes
for this city. 1t has been asserted that
the East Jersey Water Com panY would
have to pay the Butler Rubber Company
at least S250.000, aud the paper mills
would also demand large amounts. 1t is
now believed that the water company
will not pay anything, for the reason that
IL does not intend to do the mill site own
ers any injury. The water company
will, 1t is now said. be able TO sup
ply Newark with the 80 900. 600 gallons
daily which the contract calls for,
without interfering with the natural
flow" of the stream. While the Newark
supply will require the diversion OF large
proportion Of the water that flows over
the Pequannock bed. the. reservoirs are
believed to be so large that an annual
average flow can be maintained through
the stream below Macopin equal to all the
necessities of the mills, and in that case
there would be no damage to owners OF
water rights, but rather a benefit, for in
stead of flood at one time and n drought
at another, the river would furnish an
equable supply, as generous in summer
dryness as in winter storms. 1t Is said the
water company Is not yet altogether sure
of its ability TO do this, but is sufficiently
assured to deter it from attempting any
settlement with the mill owners unless
they are willing to take little money. IL
will be remembered that the tremendous
sums the company would have to pay
for "water-rights" was one of the reasons
urged why Newark should pay S6,000.00
tor the SO, ,000,0 900 gallon supply.
The water company is beginning to
plan for it's pire line this side OF the
Great Notch, aud to prepare for getting
its right of way for the two lines from the
point where they leave the main pipe
lone going to the BellevilIe reservoir
and the other to the South Orange res
ervoir, or rather to the site of the new
storage reservoir which will be in that
vicinity

BUILD THOSE SCHOOLS.
Fourth District Property Owners
Up in Arms-Street
Board DOings.

At the meeting Of the Street and Water
Board this morning Communication
was read from Mr.. Cleveland begging
the Commissioners TO take up the matter
Of school buildings at once It appears
that the citizens OF the Fourth district
again visited Mr.. CIeveland's sanctum
last week to ascertain why nearly two
years have elapsed since the new build
ing for the Fourth district was ordered
constructed.
The Commissioners claim that the trou-
bic arises from q disagreement between
ne Board OF Education aud the citizens
interested In the matter Of selection 9
suitable site. Mr.. Cleveland set forth In
his letter that the need for more school ac-
commodations Ia the Fourth distr let was
great, ana that unless something was done
soon the school would not be ready before
a year from next fall. he urged the selec-
tion OF a site and that contracts for both
the West Bergen and the Fourth
district schools be given out at the
very earliest moment AS to the West
Bergen School the plans were recently
submitted. but as it was found the cost
would be somewhere in the neighborhood
Of So 900 the plans were returned to the
architect with Instructions to prepare
plans and specifications for two school
houses, one Tor West Bergen and
the other for pupils in the vicinity Of the
site selected at Pavonia avenue and Ro-
maine street, the cost Of both not TO ex
eeed $4,000. Mr.. Cieveland's letter was
referred to the Committee on Public
Grounds and Buildings.
James Hunt, James Tumilty and James
n. Davis were reappointed commissioners
for the year 1891.
All work on the laying Of water pipes
was ordered suspended during the
months of January and February.
Final assessment maps were ordered
fled for the improvement of Pacific and
Gardner avenuea. and the Hopkins and
Hancock avenues sewers. The contract
for the Hopkins avenue sewer was award
ed to Patrick II. O'Neill.
The Board acted favorably upon an APP
plication for the improvement of Forest
street, and decided 70 insure the two new
police buildings for s26, 600.

THE LAST OF THE "ARGUS."
The Chancellor Decikes That 1t Must be
Wound Up Unless the Mortga-
gees Interfere.

The affairs OF the ATgus concern have
reached a crisis aud in all probability to-
days issue will be the last of that i'll
fated sheet. The Chancellor informed the
parties concerned in the establish
ment, this morning that unless the
holders of the liens against the concern
did not make some arrangement Tor CON
tinulng the publication OF the paper, To-
DAYS issue would be the last.
He said that the credit OF The Court OF
Chancery could not be pledged TO con-
tinue the publication of the paper.
1t appears Ihat the receivers have run
the concern during the past few days on
their individual credit and do not feel eu-
tnorized 20 continue il any longer on that
basis. Representation was made 10 The
Chancellor that as the argus was
publishing certain official adver-
tisemenLs it would be necessary for the
authorities to advertise all over again II
the publication OF the paper
was suspended, The Chancellor
tnen suggested that in that case
those interested should contribute to-
ward continuing the publication OF the
paper.
A conference of the parties interested is
now being held in the office OF Bedie,
Muirheid, McGee, q Bedie Jr.,
the counsel for the iirst mortagee and any
agreement which they may arrive at VIII
be reported To the Chancellor this AFTER
noon for his approval.

WERE THEY REALLY MARRIED9
Conflicting Testimony in the Boetehe-
Divorce Case


Divorce Case.
Assemblyman William d. Daily applied
to Chancellor McGnl this morning for
alimony and counsel fee for Elizabeth
Boetcher in her case for divorce. In her
petition Mrs. Boetcher declares that her
husband. john Boetcher, called upon her
once each week for several weeks
and then asked her TO be his
wife. She took a week to consider the
offer and then accepted it. whereupon she
accompanied him 70 MS home in Carl
stadt, where they were married by Pastor
Kern IN the presence OF several witnesses
They enjoyed a brief honeymoon OF ten
days duration, when Mrs. Boeteher left
her husband because. as she alleges. he
abused her becau sc she would not trans
fer her property 10 him.
Shortly after sne thus left her husband,
he married a girl, aud went to live with
her ar Newark The complaint went to
Newark to Boetcher arrested, but before
the warrant could be served Boetcher
went TO Canada Accompanying the
petition were several affidavits of persons
who witnessed the marriage of the com
plainant and the defendant.
The answer Of Boetcher was read, in
which he denies that he was ever married
TO the complainant. He says that he first
the complainant's true name, at a beer
garden on Union Hill. That she
was then accompanied by her son
aud that all parties partook Of wine and
beer anb ''had good time" Mrs Volk
accompanied BOetcher to MS home at
Carlstadt where both drank more wine
until they were intoxicated. While in
that condition they asked the Rev. Mr..
Kern to marry them. but the clergyman
refused.
Accompanying the answer was state
ment from Pastor Kern, not under oath.
however, saying that he did not marry
the couple. and letter from Mrs. Boetcher,
in which she disclaims the marriage
There was also a release of Boetcher
from all claims by the complainant and
signed by Elizabeth Volk.
The Chancellor denied the application
and referred the entire matter to Vice
Chancellor Pitney, who will hear the
cause on Thursday.

WILL BAPTISTs EVER SPRINKLE?
The Rev. Mr.. Eakins Thinks They viii
A Methodist View of the Sect.

The Rev. Mr.. Eakius Thinks They viii
"A Methodist View of the Sect
The Rev. William Eakins, pastor Of the
Simpson NJ. Z. Church. delivered an in
teresting discourse last night on the pc
culiarities OF Baptists.
"As in the case Of several other Chris
tian denominations, said he; 1T is al
most impossible to point to any one man
as the founder of the Baptist Church. BY
some IL is claimed that the church existed
in an unbrOken line of succession from
the days of the Apostles until now. All
schools of Baptists claim that the church
as founded by Christ was substantially
the same as their church Is at the present
time, and that the Baptism of infants as
well as baptism by any other mode than
immersion was q departure from the prin-
ciples laid down by our Savior. The Bap-
lists lay great stress upon the necessity
of adhering to positive laws, such as bap-
tism by immersion, and contend that no
one has authority to change positive law
but the lawgiver. All Protestant churches
recoguize two Sacraments, baptism and
the Lord's Supper. Both are alike posi-
tive laws and cannot be changed without
the authority Of the lawgiver. Still, why
should we insist upon the strict observ-
ance of one sacrament, baptism, and not
upon the other, the Lords Supper"
The preacher then referred 10 the fact
that the Master aud His disciples had an
entire supper together; broke the bread
with their hands; dipped INTO the same
dish. Not SO nowadays. He explained
the mode of administering the Commun-
ion of the different churches.
IF small piece of bread and mere
taste of wine is as goo an emblem as an
entire supper, why should not little
water sprinkled or poured answer as
an emblem just as well as TO plunge the
entire person into riyerf" The reverend
speaker cited cases in which it would
have been death to subject communicates
TO immersion. he referred also TO the
popularity of Baptists relative TO infant
baptism, and in conclusion said:-
Il expect the time will come when in
Baptist churches baptism by sprinkling
will be regarded as Legitimate. The world
will wait long perhaps to see that day, but
we believe it is coming. The day is COM
ing when all denominations Will come
nearer together than they have ever yet
been"

MILITARY coONs.
Colored Heroes Want to Organize Ma
tionaI Guard Companies.

Colored Heroes Want to Organize Ma
tionaI Guard Companies.
The colored men of Hudson, Essex and
Union counties are earnestly at work
trying to secure the necessary legislation
for organizing regiments of colored
troops. James w. Oliver, of Newark, is
one Of the earnest workers in the scheme.
The following memorial has been draw n
and will be presented as soon as the
Legislature gets down to regular work :
To the Honorable Members of the Senate aud
General assembly Of Nelc Jersey.
We respectfully petition yonr honorable bod
les that the laws governing he National Guard
of New Jersey be so amended as to permit the
organization OF battalion OF two or more com,
panies of colored troops In the National Guard
of New Jersey.
A further supplement to the act entitled AN
act for the organization OF the National Guard
of the State OF New Jersey" approved March Q,
1859 and the various amendments and supple
ments thereto--and providing colored Infantry.
Be it enacted by the Senate and General As
sembly OF the State OF New Jersey, That the
third section of the act 10 which this is a supple
ment, be and is hereby amended so as TO read
as follows:
militia of the State shall be known as the Ma
tional Guard of the State Of New Jersey, and
consist Of not more than sixty companies OF in
fantry and one battery OF AZ. nlery, 10 be organ
ized into two brigades aid comprised in one
division. That out of said sky companies Of
infantry there may be allowed three compsriSj
OF colored infantry in Hudson, Essex and Union.
And be it enacted, that all acts or parts OF acts
in conflict with this act are hereby repealed.
While the colored men are undoubtedly
entitled TO recognition by the State au-
thorities, it is generally considered
among National Guardsmen that it would
be better TO increase the number of Ma
tional Guard companies in order to make
room for colored troops.
