1T MEANS PURE WATER.
The City Wins in n Test CrotOn
Watershed Case,

Watershed Case.
Word was received by Corporation
Counsel Clark this morning that Justice
Dykman, sitting in the Supreme Court
at White Plains, had rendered a decision
sustaining the constitutionality of the
Croton Watershed act, and the rights
of the city Of New York to proceed there
under with the summary abolition of null
the city's water supply.
The decision was rendered in a test
case, and Is not only important because
1t will affect nearly thousand similar
cases, but because II settles finally the
question Of the right of the people in
Westminster and Putnam Counties to pol
lutte the sources OF our drinking water
with the drainage from their sewers and
vaults.
The particular case under consideration
was that of Roxanna Kelly VS.. the
, New York.
Public Works Commissioner DAILY, in
one OF his raids on the watershed, found
one of the principal causes OF pollution
! on Mrs. Kellv's place. He notified her
to abate the nuisance. She refused, and
sought to restrain Mr.. DAILY from COM
pelllng her to do so, She claimed that
she had the right by prescription to use
the river as receptacle for the drainage
/ from her yard.
The Court holds that nobody has a
! right to maintain nuisance by prescrip-
ton or otherwise, and the people of New
1 York will not have to drink the up
| country filth. The same principle Is In
| volved In the other cases affected

 "Soon after graduating from school. I was stricken down with nervous prostra- ton, and no one but God knows what suffered.
 ''I was so nervous that the least little thing would cause my heart to iutter and palpitate. I was also troubled with severe headache and dizziness which united me for any mental work. I tried several highly recommended compounds but they did me no good.
 "At last decided to give Dr Greene's nervura blood ard nerve remedy a trial. What blessing it has proved to me! I can truly say that owe my present excel lent health to Dr Greene's nervura blood and nerve remedy. We keep it in the house as it cures sick headache or neural gia in every case and gives immt diate re- lief.
 Il am so grateful for the good this won derful remedy has done me. and in order that other poor sufferers may be pointed to the path of health.

Political Activity Produces BusI ess Uneor-
 tainty |" some Extent.
 NEW YcRK, Oct l3.-R. c. Dun & Co. $ weekly review of trade says today:
 ''Busness Is stall waiting for tEc dcvel- opment of retail trade. There is little better demand in some industriei, but not so good In others. Wholesale dealers in nearly all branches are halting because re- tail business does not yet show distinctly what it Is to be. Lower prices for the great farm staples and lower wages in some embellishments hinder purchases for consumption, while political interest and uncertainty also havo some retnriing in- 1ueuce. The halting attitude for tho mo- ment Is disturbing to those who have looked for continued gain. though, rightly considered. 1t Is tho natural consequence of conditions which were to be expected at this season.
 The government crop reports arc not greatly trusted, and yet havc an infu- encc and actually exaRgera;e the tenden- cy toward lower prices because they are supposed 10 put all the crops too low. Men calmly reckon that if tho govern mcnt report indicates over 400, ooo, 900 bushels of wheat the crop must be over 500, OO0, QUO bushels
 The iron industry records larger pro duction in September than in any other month this year. but as prices are grad ually weakening because of insufficient demand for finished products somo works ar1 preparing to close or shorten time.
 Tho season for boots and shoes hns been unusually good in number of cases shipped. but in vnlue the decrease must be large because of the general prefer snce for low priced goods. Most shops have orders for some time to como. and de- mands for immediate delivery arc still numerous.
 Tho demand for cotton goods has ma terially slackoned, and prices have be- come irregular. although resumption of work ut Fall River and New Bedford, with only per cont lower wages, indicates confidence in the future. The woolen mills still have numerous belated orders for fall goods, but the demand for spring does not increase. though in nearly all the lower priced products domestic mak- CTS appear able to command most of the business that exists.''
