ALMY ARRAIGNED.
Christie Warden's Murderer Pleads
Not Guilty and Proposes
to Make a Fight.

HANOVER, \. H., Aug. q, 1soL-Almy.
the murderer Of Miss Christine Warden,
wss arraigned before Police Justice Cobb
this morning. He entered a plea Of not
guilty and the case was adjourned The
arraignment was made in AImy's room
in the Wheelock House. He said he had
not slept we'll aud suffered a great deal of
pain.
It was learned from the physicians that
the pain OF which Almy complained was
more from the apples Of which he so raw
inously ate, and which tempted him from
his hiding place In Wardin's barn We'd
nesday night. than from his wounds.
He was shaved early aud looks bright.
That he is beginning to look forward to
his fight for life IN the courts was plainly
evinced by his careful consideration Of
questions aud replies thereto in the brief
preliminary trial.
A great crowd assembled around the
hotel, all anxious to assure themselves
that Miss Warden's murderer had
neither escaped nor died during the night
from the wounds he received yesterday
while holding his pursuers at bay in the
Warden barn.
They were quickly reassured, word
being sent out by Almy's watchers that
the prisoner was not only safe but that
MS Wounds were not dangerous.
Never before have the villagers ex-
perienced such excitement The
man-hunt made the blood rush
through their veins with a tingling
sensation, and for many OF them it
was more difficult TO sleep last night than
it was for the wounded prisoner, guarded
by armed officers IN one of the upper
rooms of the Wheelock House.
Even after Alnly is convicted, as Is con-
stdered certain, he will have to be kept q
year in solitary confinement in the State
Prison before execution.
According 10 the laws Of the State the
Sheriff of the county In which the crime
was committed must officiate at the exc
cution. which must take place in the
State prison.
At the least, Almy has year from Oc-
tober TO live. The Court meets in Sep
tember, when he will PROBABLY be placed
on trial.

That FILTHY WATER.
What a News Reporter
Learned About 1t at
Newark.
ACTUALLY UNFIT FOE WASHING.
No Apparent Prospect of Improve
ment in Quality aud Quantity
Diminishing.

The water in the Passaic River is lower
this summer than 1t has been for many
years. 1t is more flthy than it ever was,
and typhoid fever Is very prevalent, par
ticularly in Newark. The physicians and
health authorities Of Newark boldly say
the forty or ffty typhoid cases reported
up to Wednesday are due solely to the
terrible condition of the Passaic water,
which the people there as well as in this
city must drink and bathe in and cook
with. Knowing that the water In the
Passaic River is SO very low that it has
caused an unprecedented decomposition
Of vegetation along the shore, | visited
High Service to ascertain the condition of
the water In this city.
Superintendent George Brown, In
answer to my interrogation, said:-"The
water has never but once been so low in
the reservoir as it now Is. The lowest
mark the water ever reached was in No
vember 1885 when it fell TO ia feet 2 in
ches above the average level of high tide.
The normal condition of the water is 126
feer inches and the low figure reached
in 1886 was caused by a leak in the main
which resulted in the loss Of millions OF
gallons Of water. We will take the re-
cord from 1886 to date aud you can see the
scarcity Of water readily
