DO THEY WANT A SLICE.
Aldermen Deplore Their 81 ack of Power"

Aldermen DepIore Their 81 ack of Power
-saiinger's Resolutions Tabled.
Max Salinger enlivened the session OF
the Aldermen last night in an unexpected
manner.
Alderman McEntee was granted the
privilege OF the floor early in the meeting
TO introduce preamble and resolutions
touching upon the water.
Aldermen Salinger wanted to remon-
strate. but Alderman McEntee was firm,
ana rendered the following set of resolu-
tlons winch were unanimously adopted
whereas, The necessity exists for some action
on tne part or the corporate authorities which
VIII afford to our people better and purer
water supply. and
Whereas, Public opinion is against the making
OF any contract for supply of water, and this
Board has SO expressed its views in resolutions
heretofore adopted,
Resolved, That as representatives elected by
the people OF Jersey City, Yet without any voice
IN matters Of consequence affecting the people
we represent, we respectfully suggest to the
corporate authorities OF our city that the sub
Ject matter of water supply should receive their
earnest consideration, and that while
we advocate a purer and better
supply or potable water we earnestly
protest against any surrender of rights we now
possess under the city charter, and recognizing
tne ract That the water from the Skies collected
anu moving IN the rivers of the State is the
property OF the people and ought not to De con-
lrole1 by any individual or corporation not
wishstanding any so called law of the Legisla-
ture, we do mol deem it expedient to enter into
any contract or agreement which will prevent
Jersey CITY from controlling the water or works
life O-
The adoption of these resolutions
nettied Alderman Salinger, but he pre-
sented bis just the same, and when a
motion was put and carried to table
them, he broke forth into one Of his olden
time speeches. His free indulgence in
personalities caused some OF the alder-
men visible uneasiness. He capped the
climax when he said the people who
offered the former resolutions did not
understand the English language
President Allen finally Interrupted him
by asking him II he was prospective bid
der for the supply of water and again if
he was the paid counsel of any individual
or corporation interested in the water
supply question.
These questions made matters worse.
The Alderman repudiated any such idea
and was highly indignant. He dwelt at
length upon the idea of considering a
question of such Importance as the water
supply for years and then for body of
officials to hustle the thing through in
ten days. His resolutions were tabled.

TALKED THROUGH HIS HAT.

AT the meeting of the Fire Commits
sioners of Hobo ken, last night, Michael
Maher, stoker of Engine No. 8, was COM
plained OF by Chief Appiegate for con-
tinually wagging his tongue and talking
through his hat. Maher is never salts
fed unless he is running down some one
of his superiors or politician. He was
transferred from uptown for this
very reason. Around election he talked
freely. saying that Cornelius J. Tahen
had threatened to bounce Maher and a
certain captain when he was elected.
Chief Applegatc Investigated Maher's
statements, aud, as usual found them un-
founded. He then preferred charges
against Maher. contending that such be-
havior, if allowed to continue, would
wreck all discipline in the Departne ent,
Maher will be summoned for trial.

FATHER TER WOERFS DAY
The Cornerstone of the New st.
Johns Church to be Laid
by Bishop Wigger
Tomorrow.

The cornerstone of the new Catholic
Chu rch in st. Johns parish will
be laid at three o'clock tomor-
row with very impressive ceremonies.
The construction of this edifice. which
will be an ornament to the city, is due
entirely to the uptiring energy OF the
Rev. Faith er Ter Woert, rector of the
present church in the parish. The new
structure will cost 100000 when COM
pleted TWO years from now.
II will front an the new Boulevard, and
will also face Van Wrinkle street. The
church will be rs feet front and $50 feet
deep, and a chapel will be added to The
left side of the church which will be 25
feet by so feet. This little building is to
be used for Sunday school.
The walls of the church will be built of
white granite and the interior will be
finished in oak. An immense tower will
pc erected on the church at the south
west corner and this will be surmounted
by belfry and an enormous clock.
At about half-past one O'Clock tomor-
row Bishop Wlgger aud a large number
of visiting clergymen will leave Roche's
Hall for the site of the church. They will
be accompanied by a number of young
mems Catholic clubs. councils of The
Catholic Benevolent Legion and the An
cient Order of Hibernians. Music will
be plentiful. and silk banners will be
carried by each of the societies. The
church societies that are composed of
girls and women will receive the bishop
and the escort at the church site. These
ladies will all wear white wells and many
will have on white gowns.
Bishop Wfgger will, with the custom
ary ceremonies, lay the cornerstone after
which the Rev. Father Tighe, of Boonton,
and formerly of Hoboken, we'll known
orator, will preach the sermon. Father
Tighe's eloquence is well known in this
city and it Is expected that many will
gather at the cornerstone laying to hear
him.
The work on the foundation of &he
church is about completed, and as soon
as IL is finished Father Ter Woert will
suspend further work until spring. When
the last stone of the foundation is laid it
will have been paid for. aud not penny
of debt will be on the church. Father
Ter Woert believes 1t will be economy
to wait until spring to begin the actual
construction OF the building, for If the
work is continued through the winter
he will be compelled to bor-
on that sum, while the weather
will not permit continuous work. If he
waits until spring he will have collected
s., 900 cash, and only he compelled to bor-
row Sc, 600. and will be able beside to have
the work of construction done every day
nearly.
In addition to this present enterprise of
Father Ter Woert, ne has built in this
parish a handsome school at a cost of
Sl7000 and n rectory that cost $4,000
Father Ter Woert is hard worker.

The Value of His Arms and Legs.

William Muller, fifteen years old, was
a passenger on Hoboken ferryboat on
February 10. When the boat entered the
Hoboken slip on his particular trip it did
so with such force that 1t caused a heavy
timber to fall on the boy, who was stand
ing at the bow.
The timber knocked Muller down and
broke both of his arms, and he was taken
to st. Mary'sl Hospital. When Muller
recovered he began suit against the
Hoboken Ferry Company to recover
$1,000. The case has been placed on the
calendar of the Circuit Court, and will be
tried probably at an early date.
