NEW WATER SUPPLY.
A Visit Of Inspection to the
Northern Jersey Watershed

The entire Street and Water Board
went off on tour Of inspection yesterday
to the water sheds of the Fassaic River.
The half-past seven train on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railway conveyed the party
to Branchville. in the southern
portion of Sussex county, where various
creeks and streams were inspected. The
party was satisfied that the expenditure
of a large sum would be necessary to
secure a sufficient supply OF pure
water, but the Commissioners prefer run
ming pipes to this point rather than make
any contracs with individuals. The water
was found to be unusually free from
animal and decomposed vegetable mat
ter. Macopin and Ramapo Valley
will next be visited by the Board.
The utmost secrecy has been observed
concerning the trip to the water sheds:
and today Commissioner Dugan denied
that the trip was taken for the purpose
affording q new water supply. Commis-
sioner Somers states. however, that the
trip was taken for this purpose. The
party returned to Jersey City long after
midnight.

The several cases pending were laid over
until next Friday.
Brakemen Charles Livingston. Garret
De Graw, Marlin Ralph and Fireman
Dunn were discharged, and Engineer
Charles Davis, Conductor Tully and
Brakeman Edward Conway were paroled.
1T seems to me-" remarked the Court,
"that most of the trouble is caused by
too much economy on the part of the
railway company. Here is a case pend
ing where a train of over fifty cars
blocked three or four street."
They may be obliged to resort to such
economical measures" responded Mr..
Parker. 1T is often a question of econ
omy or bankruptcy with railway corpor-
ations.'
''Oh, yes, know the poor railroads are
usually poverty stricken when there's
any court business on hand"

GOLDEN KEY BRETHREN.
Promises Hot Time for the Rev. Mr..
Motley.

Promises Hot Time for the Rev. Mr..
Motley.
The prospects are that there will be a
lively war in the little colored Baptist
Church on the Heights, of which the
Rev. r. A. Motley is pastor, and few of
the colored elders and deacons may be
bounced unceremoniously. Last night
the reorganized Independent Order of the
Gold Key Benevolent Society held its first
reception in Bergen Hall. A number of
the colored brethren wished to have q
notice of the reception given out in
Church, but Pastor Motley demonstrated
and it was finally decided that the notice
should not be read from the pulpit. Last
Sunday, however, George Scott. clerk of
of the church. took the unauthorized
liberty of readings a notice of the recep-
tion out in church. Pastor Motley mar
rowly escaped having spasm, and the
members first seemed shocked and then
nudged each other in the side and gfggled.
Dominic Motley tried to speak, but he
was too full for utterance. He took oc-
casion, however, to notify his parishopers
that they would hear from him later. On
Wednesday, at a prayer meeting, he at
tackled the members of the Society
without gloves. and pointed out the
evils attending such affairs. He con-
cluded his attack by stating that he
would appoint committee TO attend the
reception and get the names of his par
ishoners who dared enter into such fes-
tivities. Dominic Motley's committee
was present. and as result the colored
residents of the Heights are in a great
state of excitement. Dominic Motley's
committee will render report on Satur-
day and Sundays services promise to
be replete with interesting incidents.
Notwithstanding the PASTORS attitude
toward tho Sociafv the racaDfiOn VIVA a
marked success and jolly time was had
by every one. There were present dele
cations from the most highly esteemed
colored society of this city, Friendship
Society of Newark, Daughters of the Key
and Annex Club of Brooklyn.
