ANOTHER Child VICTIM
Five Year Old Edward Hone
Killed by a Motor in
Bayonne.

The Bayonne line of the Consolidated
Traction Company claimed another victim
| yesterday afternoon. This line seems to be
the accidents on the trolley since its intro.
duction into this city have been on this line.
Yesterdays accident occurred in Bayonne al
the incline of Avenue D, at the intersection
of Evergreen street and just where the ave
nue. dips below the Central Railroad bridge.
The victim was Edward Hone, the five
| year-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Hone
of No. "A Evergreen street.
Edward left home a few moments before
for an outing in Salter's Woodbine Grove at
Forty ninth street. A number of children
who associated with him accompanied him.
As the children started to cross the street
Motor No. l24 was coming down the Hill
from Cottage street at a lively rate of speed.
They saw it coming and with the exception
OF Hone hurried across the track. Hone
stopped inc hesitated. The motor was but
a few feet away. Motorman John Coyne
saw the children crossing and as he came
dow the hill shut off his power and applied
the brake. The momentum, however, was
sufficient to carry the Car up the incline and
the next instant the heavy car struck Hone
and threw him to the roadway. As the boy
fell he gave a cry which was heard two
DOCKS away.
CRUSHED HEEL
His companions were so terrified that they
fed crying and shouting. The child was
rolled over and over by the big beam in
front of the wheels until his body passed be-
meath it.
The body lay beneath the wheels of the
rear truck when the car stopped. The ap-
pearance of the body indicated that the
child's death was almost instantaneous. The
car could not be backed off the body, which
was tightly wedged in between the wheels
and the rails. Two dozen men lifted the
car off. Then the body was carried to the
home of the parents, whose grief was pitiful
to witness.
Chief of Police John B.. McNeill, who was
among the first to arrive on the dreadful
scene, ordered Patrolman Smith to arrest
the motornan.
COYNE HELD.
The prisoner was completely overcome.
He protested that he had lone all in his
power to save the chlld. He was locked up
at Police Headquarters in default of bail,
and this morning was arraigned in the police
court on q charge of manslaughter. He was
held to await the action of the Grand Jury.
He lives in West Twelfth street, Bayonne.
The police notified County Physician Charles
b, Converse.
The child's death was due chiefly to his
own carelessness.

BAYoNNEs IMPURE WATER.
Residents Petition Mayor Farr for
n New supply.

II New supply.
The following document, copies of
which have been circulated throughout
Bayonne for signature, will b. forward,
ed to Mayor Farr on Saturday,
1--WE, the undersigned, consider that
it is time that our municipal authorities
took the question of our water supply
in hand and that active measures be
undertaken to nave a pure and abund-
ant supply of water for our citizens.
The present water is not only inn
pure, brackish and nauseous to the taste,
but a menace to health. 1t is indeed at
the present time so malodorous that
very few persons would attempt to drink
it; consequently all who wish to take q
drink of water must get it from some of
the private wells in operation. Many of
these wells, not being sunk to any con
siderable depth. are contaminated by
surface water and offer another fruit
full source of disease.
.Whil our port authorities take the
most stringent measures to quarantine
and examine all persons coming into the
country for cholera and other contagi-
Gus diseases, it is only our duty as good
citizens to see that at our very doors
these things do not get an entrance
through an impure water supply; Tor
e water which contains the germs OF
disease when boiled has not been found
to be innocuous, as has been shown by
scientific tests.
mo excuse for negligence in this mat
ter can be advanced. 1t is criminal to
allow a matter of such vital Importance
to he shelyed and put off. 1t is the duty
of the press as well as that of every pri-
'vate citizen to demand that a scientillc
analysis of the water be made and the
matter given the most searching inquiry:
with weather such as we have had
this summer nothing is more necessary
than a pure and abundant water supply.
We trust that the matter will have the
fullest and most searching inquiry and
that active steps will at once be taken
to remedy this evil"

aid Of textile workers) will be taken

n~osition than ever; unless the weayers
have a pair of scales at their looms,
they say, and a weigh their own cloth,
they cannot tell what it registers.
But this is not the greatest objection
to the new scheme. BY making the yarn
ing various other methods used in
weaving cloth, a cut could be made SO
or IS yards long which would weigh
no more than on that which was not
doctored and was only 45 yards long.
BY spinning the loom a weaver may find
thai he is taking off a cut of cloth 55
Yards long that he has woven in the
same time it took him to weave 90 I'M

ranged, they argue, SO that he can
take off the s~ameweight of cloth in the
same time, n the company, owing to
the dcctoring of the yard, etc.. will
gain five or ten yards

After dwelling upon this deplorable alb
sence of Christianity on Seventh street,
Mrs. Clark related how on one night she
was requested to visit a sick woman on a
canal boat. She said she left her baby
at home and willingly went. She found
some rough people, but they treated her
gently and after she had talked to the
sick woman of the life hereafter, and
was about to go home the woman's hus-
band made her promise to call again.
The man said he wanted some of his
friends to hear Mrs. Clark talk as she
had done to his wife. Mrs. Clark went
there again and this time she had an au-
dience of several persons. She repeated
many times her visits and finally had the
great satisfaction of knowing hat 800

she declared that she believed that God

that the minister who works hard re-

After exhorting all present to do all that

CAMDEN, August 6, 1S94-The Democrats
of Camden have administered a singing re-

keep the pledges that he made to his party.

warded to the Senator explains ITSELF
CAMDEN. N. j., Aug. z, 1894.
lMr. James Smith, IN, United States Send
tor from Neic Jersey, Washington, Y. G.
DEAR SIR:-When you were elected Sena-
tor from New Jersey you received the vote
of every Democrat who was a member of
the Legislature. You received such support
on the ground, as urged by yourself, that
you were a better Cleveland Democrat than
Governor Albeit, whose defeat you un-
fortunately comprised.
How nave you kept your pledges? First,
by opposition to the income tax, the most
democratic tax that finds a place in our
system; secondly, by opposing the very tariff
reform which you made pretense of a desire
to further; and, thirdly, and chiefly. by
your champloning the sugar schedule of the
Senate bill, asserting from your place in the
Senate and in conference with your party
colleagues, when a change in this schedule
was proposed, that the House would take
this bill or get none. Why did YOU vote for
a conference if this were your attitudes You
might at least have been courteous to a CO.
ordinate part OF the NaGlOnal Legislature. BuI
you were both rude and un-Democratic,
taking sides with protectionists, and with
the worst of them, the Sugar Trust, in try
ing to trick and fool the National Legislature
into a differential duty tdifferehtial to the
trust, in addition to a most ample protection
of 40 per cont. You would assume to wards
the House, it would seem, the disastrous and
uurelenting attitude of a bandit to his vic
tim.
TO the Democratic party and its cardinal
virtue, tariff reform, and to the country
you have lone i~ncalculable damage in pre-
venting beneficial legislation, which but for
you and such as you would now be in sue
| cessful operation. Your duty is too clear
and imperative to provoke any urging to
its performance. You should either do
your duty at once or with equal celebrity re-
| sign. in order that your place may be filed
by a tariff reformer, such as you, before
yonr selection. misrepresented yourself to
be. These are the sentiments and demands
Of all the democrats of this end of New
Jersey.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 1894 In a signed
statement to the editor OF the World tonight
Senator Smith, says
IN answer to your inquiries, First-Do
you think a tariff bill will pass All signs
indicate that the conferrees the bill should
pass both houses and be presented to the
President not later than Thursday.
"Second-Will it be the Senate bill or the
House bill! Practically the Senate bill with
some notifications and changes.
ssThird-On what articles will the chief
changes be madel Sugar, coal and iron, If
any of consequence are made.
"Fourth-What is your position on these
articles! | have favored free raw and free
refined sugar from the beginning, not be-
cause l do not consider sugar a free subject
for a revenue duty. but for the party reason
that the reimposition of a duty on such an
article after it has once been taken off might
be unpopular. So far as coal and iron are
concerned, | am in favor of free raw ma
terial theoretically and free coal and free
iron would be a practical benefit to my
State.
ssBut [ have never been able to see how
| such a ILL could pass and as l have insisted
/ upon moderate protection for the industries
of my State, | could not deny the right of
other Senators to protect the coal and iron
interests of their constituents. Moreover,
there has been a constant daily danger of
defeat of all tariff legislation and such a re-
suit would be so deplorable that | have done
everything in my power to avert it, both by
making concessions myself and by ear
nest efforts to conciliate Others whose
votes were doubtful. | do not think that
the public has appreciated at any time
the seriousness of this danger, nor the ne
cessity, with a bare majority Of one in the
Senate, of harmonizing the many diverse
interests. But we who are anxious for the
continued supremacy of the Democratic
party have appreciated it and were much re-
lievaJ when we thought, on the passage of
the oil, that we had passed the danger line.
Whether we were right or not, in view of
the subsequent complications, of course, re-
mains to be seen.
-. viii the Republicans filibuster? /
think not, unless such changes as lido not
anticipate shall be made in the schedules.
The Republicans believe shat the Senate
bill does not give sufficient protection to
American industries aud they will consent
to its passage on the theory that it will
the coming elections.
,s6. Would the Senate accept free coal
and free iron. Only those Senators who
have insisted upon a duty upon those
articles can answer that question. There
is certainly no reason why | should OBJ
ject if they are willing to make the conces-
sion,

have just issued their report for the
past fiscal year. 1t shows that there
were s7S confined during the year.
Some of the better boys are bound out
to the farmers and some thirty-eight
parents for further discipline, owing to
the fact that the school was unable to
accommodate them. But all these lads
are likely to be returned to the reform
school for the slightest disobedience,
they being practically now on parole.
OF the 11S boys sent to the reform
school last year, 100 were white and 10
colored.
There was not a single death at the
institution during h fiscal year just
closed. There were 172 pairs Of shoes
year, and 1903 pairs of shoes We're re-
paired. There Were also made 1851 gross
Of brusheh and 140,0 900 bricks during the
year.
Receipts of the institution for the
year, according to the report of Treas
urer Moses Bigelow of Essex county,
lures were $50. 5S3. 81, leaving a balance
this year of 1851 IS, as against a bal
ance last year of s5,004.1 10. Of this sum
