the house being supported by the
daughters. Some days ago the old courle
had fight and the husband threatened
to kill his wife. Thursday, while the
daughter Annie was preparing supper,
she noticed her father 10 the front room
scraping the sulphur from matches into
a cup. She watched him close
ly, and when he had secured
enough sulphur, he walked into the
kitchen, and filling the cup with coffee,
set it in the wife's place. The daughter
Annie gave an alarm, and the father
turned on her and beat her unmercifullv.
He then grabbed the cup and left the
house.
He went to Justice of the Peace Rusch
and said his wife had tried to poison him,
and asked to have her arrested. She was
arrested and placed under $500 bail for
the Grand Jury.
The mother and daughter then ap-
piled to Recorder McDonough and told
their story. He had the man arrested,
and charges of attempting to poison and
also assault will be preferred against
Zolkowsky.

WATER And Cash
The Hackensack Company's
Growing Business-Wi
Not Bid Here.

Engineer Charles Brush, Of the Hacken
sack Water Company, WAS seen at his
office in Hoboken by JERSEY CITY NEWS
reporter this morning relative to the big
three million dollar loan foated by the
Company. He was asked whether the
Hackensack Water Company contem-
plated making Jersey City an offer to
furnish her with water.
Mr.. Brush said the company contem-
plated no such move, or at least up to the
present time had not considered the mat
ter in that light. The mortgaging of its
plant was decided on some time ago, and
the money WAS required only for its pres
ent business. The supply needed for
Hoboken and other towns had increased
to such an extent that 1T was necessary to
increase the plant of the company.
The company has two mains from the
intake at New Milford, of twenty inches,
leading down along the Palisades, which
supply all the towns within a certain
radius, and another which takes in
Rutherford and towns along that line.
The company has also completed an eh-
tlrely new main from the intake to the
reservoir in Weehawken. This is along
an entirely separate route. and in case of
injury to one main the other can be i'm
mediately used.
A large plot of ground has been pur-
chased in townsville. Here new reser-
voir will be erected 1,100 feet in length
and 750 feet wide. The increased de-
mand makes this step necessary.
70 attempt to supply Jersey City with
water, the company would have to build
new storage reservoirs and new pump
ing station

THEY MEAN BUSINESS.

The Greenvilie Committee Say They VIII
Have Rapid Transit.
Although many Greenville residents
are attempting TO throw cold water upon
the rapid transit schem by laughing at
the efforts of the members of the Sixth
District Citizens Improvement Associa-
ton. still the committee, which was ap-
pointed by the association to find, if pos
sible, way to secure the much desired
rapid transit, has been working
hard ever since it was appointed
to the task. The members say that
when.the committee reports.at ext Tues
day evenings meeting many of the
apathetic Greenville property owners will
open their eyes in astonishment at the
progress which has been made. The fact
that the committee has been holding star
chamber sessions very frequently of late
makes it appear as though some tall
hustliug is being done. The members of
the committee absolutely refuse to say
what took place at these sessions.
sPHINX-LiKE SILENCE
Inquiries for information are met with
mysterious working of the optics and
the reply, Just wait and see.
Mr. Thomas Cogan, the Chairman OF
the committee. had very little to say when
l saw him last night. He was as mysteri-
Gus as the other members of the COM
mittes and said tnat he would not as yet
say anything on the subject for publica-
tion.
"The committee expects to report at
tne NEE ting on Tuesday night. Wehave
been w orking hard and the result Of our
labor will be shown at the meeting. We
want rapid transit and we're going to get
it."
The rumor that Herbert Gedney, the
missing lawyer, had taken numerous
papers belonging to the committee with
him, was declared TO be absolutely with
out foundation by President S. l.. Har-
vey last evening.
HAS A COMPANY BEEN FORMED.
"Mr. Gedney never drew up auv pa
pers for the committee )" said he, 'apd
he never had any of the committees
property In his possession. AS TO the
rapid transit matter, / can only say that
do not believe in allowing the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to know of every move
we take in the matter. IT the company
is organized it is nobody's business out
side of the stockholders of the concern.
Whatever the committee deslfas Co have
made public will be told at the meeting
on Tuesday"
just how far the matter has progressed
cannot be learned, but it is said that a
company has already been organized, and
that application for q franchise will
be- made in few days. 1t is further
said that every Greenville property
owner of prominence is a stockholder,
and that they will be backed up by the
Erie Railroad.
The Greenville residents who had given
up all hope of securing the much needed
rapid transit are overjoyed at the htc5
that the committee has been working
hard, and the report is awaited with in
terest,

Gone to Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S93.-The final
determination arrived at by Archbishop
Satolll, Apostolic Delegate, in the muc Ii
discussed controversy between Father
Killeen and Bishop Wigger of Newark,
is made known authoritatively in the fol-
lowing announcement, which, 1t will be
perceived, is adverse to the position taken
by Bishop Wigger:-
The Right Rev. Bishop Of Newark and the
pastor of st. Mary's, Bergen Point, Father
Kllleen, came this day to Washington on ci-
tation by the Most Reverend Apostolic Dele
gate, and in their presence he rendered the fol
lowing decision:
Firsl-St. Mary's Parish shall extend to
Twenty sixth street; that is to say, up to St.
Henry S Church.
Second-A new parish is formed of the two
churches, st. Thomas and ST.. Henry-the
Church of St. Thomas being the principal and
the Church Of st. Henry the subordinate
Tnrd-As there is no parish residence near st.
Thomas's Church, the pastor of the parish
for the present at St. Henry's
Fourth-The Church of st. Thomas shall be
restored and reopened, and on Sundays and
holidays the second and principal mass shall be
celebrated in st. Thomas's,
Fifth-Al sermons and Instructions not only
in st. Thomas's, but also in St. Henryis Church,

being but few Germans In ST. Henrys Church,
and even those few understanding English.
Sixth-The present pastor now residing at st.
Henry's is allowed to remain but his successor
shall be an English speaking clergyman. This
concession is made because OF the present scare
ity OF priests in the diocese.
