BROOKLYN'S FILTHY WATER,
Thanks to 1.-THE Evening World"
for It's Great Exposure.

To the Editor:
The people Of Brooklyn should give
you substantial recognition for your
fearless and complete exposure Of the
condition of their water supply. Your
story is startling enough 10 caLse con-
sternation in a city inhabited by
mummies instead of intelligent beings
we claim as citizens of the fourth larS-
est city Of the United States.
Who Is responsible for the nreseiit
condition Of the water VT drink How
long ave we been taking into our sys-
tens this ~death-dealing. poison What
is our Health Board doing in this most
serious matter? Surely there would be
more activity displayed should the
cholera come within 100 miles of our
city. BY their inactivity now are they
not inviting it? Should not the Health
Commissioners be held directly and per-
sonally responsible for his dereliction of
duty?
This is a serious matter and requires
plain, unmistakable language.
The people of Brooklyn owe YOU n
debt OF gratitude not easily paid for
bringing hem face to face with the
dangers threatening them n their
families. BROOKLYN.

EAST ATCHisOMs DANGER.
Threatened Cut of the Missouri
Would Entail Great Damage.
(By Associated Press.)

TOPEKA, Kan, March 12.-The city OF
Atch!son is in danger, not only of losing
the Missouri River, but the iron bridge
which spans 1t there and three or four
railroads which reach it from the East.
For years the stream has been cutting
away the banks above the railroads on
the Missouri side. carrying away several
thousand acres Of land and much of the
town site of East Atchison. The original
shore line was fully n mile from the
railroad tracks.
To-day the distance is less than 100
yards, and the railroad companies are
preparing to tear up their tracks at an
hours notice. Should the river cut
through, 1t would leave the bridge span
ming a lake, cutting OFF all rail communi-
cation from the East. Every house, rail
road depot. round-house, a lumber-yard
and n valuable ~pork-paCking plant in
East Atchlson would be swept away.
In addition, many farms and forests
would be enGulfed. Civil engineers csti-
mate that, should the worst happen, the
loss would not be less than 1880 ,OO0, be
sides the Inconvenience and delay to
business.

RTHUR GREEN IS A BAD MAN.
Assaulted His Father and Two
Sisters While Drunk.
Has Served Time In State Prison for
Shooting His Mother.

Arthur Green, twenty-eight years old,
who has a very bad record. was held
in the Lee Avenue Court, Williamsburg.
to-day, on several different charges pre-
ferred by members of his own family.
About six years ago Green had a
oiarrel with his brother, and shot at
MIN. but the bullet went wild, and lodged
in his mothers leg. For this he was
arrested, and sent to the Elmira Re-
formatory. He was later transferred to
Clinton Prison.
A wear and a half ago he was re-
leased, and, as he promised to behave
himself, his parents took him home with
them.
]. S. Green and his family live at 1l5
Rutledge street, the most aristocratic
section of Williamsburg. For a time
the black sheep behaved himself fairly
well, but yesterday afternoon he re-
turned home. after an absence of two
days, full of liquor and looking for
fight.
Arthur opened the proceedings by
kicking an arm off a chair. Then he
pitched n footstool through a window,
smashing the glass. A momen later he
announce N'"t iS Nouli lhldEH HIS
father, and proceed to fulfil the an
nouncement.
Mr.. Green has two handsome daugh-
tiers. Mary is a teacher in the Wilson
street public school. The other. Gene
We've, stepped in front of her brother,
as he advanced to attack her father,
and commenced to plead with him. The
rum-crazed brute would not listen to
her. but bit the little finger of her left
hand to the bone. Then he beat his
father. following this up with an attack
on his sister Mary, whom he bit on the
hand.
Policemen Maxwell and Belts were
standing a block away at the time, when
a small boy came running up to tell
them that some one was being murder
ed. They got to the house just in time
to. prevent Young. Green from throwing
all hands out of doors. The young des-
perado showed fight, and his captors
had to handle him pretty roughly before
they could get him out of doors.
The complaints made against the
young man were one of intoXication by
the policemen, a charge of mayhem by
Genevieve. Green: and a charge of as
was too sick to-day to come to court.

Catholic priests and laymen throughout
the diocese of Newark are awaiting with
considerable interest the result of the

selves on similar charges.
Fathers HonnesSey and McNulty were
old friends of Father CorriGan, whose
defiance of Bishop Wigger's rulings was
the talk of the country. The whole af-
fair is looked upon as an attempt upon

who were nartisaus of the late Father
