amply repaid for doing 50. Thrilling

citation by hearty applause. The ship

given q curtain call
Miss Dolly DaYerne, the sonbretta, and

TO DEPUTY COMPTROLLER MORGAN.
His Charges Against the Forest Co. ssIo.
FGectuaIiy Disposed or

ALBANY, Oct. 26.-In regard to charges OF mis-
management and bribery made by the Comp
troller's ONCE against the Forest Commission,
the latter had this TO say this morning In a
letter TO Deputy Comptroller Morgan:
"on Sept. 10 a statement credited TO the
Comptroller's office was given broadcast to the
press. This was followed by fve pretended
affidavits, anonymous in their character, pur-
porting to substantiate your previous charges.
In reply TO a letter you submitted afidavits and
letters charging sundry irregularities against
Thomas Powers, a forester in this department
The Forest Commission has made careful and
impartial investigation, and finds that as to any
collusion or malfeasance on the part OF Thomas
Powers. forester, or implication therein, the
contrary fact has been fully established. Every
treSpass case referred To In your communicate tion
was duly reported to this ofiice. and ali money
received by Powers was collected as penalties
and promptly paid to the Commission for the
State. " '"'
In your second specification you state that
where a form OF selling State lands has been
gone through with the pretended buyers had
entered upon the land denuded IL entirely OF
timber, and secured cancellation of the sale,
on the ground OF defect either in the tax sale
or the states sale TO the pretended buyer
No onicial OF this department has ever heard of
any such transaction since tho creation OF this
cancellation OF a tax sale upon any grounds has
heretofore been solely In charge OF your office
We address this communication TO YOU per
sonally, because we understand, from Your
you have made this attack ON Mr. Powers and
this department wholly without the approval or
knowledge OF Mr.. Roberts. We feel thai such
attack was unwArranted and without iustihca
tion.

PITTsBURGH's GARBAGE SYSTEM.
Iatease Heat Used IN Coasuniag she Mss-
In the Furnaces.

PITTSBURGH. Oct. 28-The Randall and Rider
systems OF garbage cregiation. substantially
alike, which were examined by New York's
Commissioners to-day, consist OF n furnace 26
feet long 8 feet wide. and ~ feet high The as
serton is made by the owners of the patents
that the gases developed In the garbage supply
the necessary heat 10 consume IL. The furnace
being heated TO 1900 degrees, the garbage 10
dumped in through holes in the top. There arc
these the flames, first from the coal and then
from the garbage, play. The principle of the
Rider furnace is easily understood. Garbage
consists of carbon In the vegetable matter. hy-
dro-carbons In the animal tissue, and oxygen
and hydrogen in the water. &c. These chemical
elements are all that Is necessary to create in
tense heat provided they can be brought into
the proper condition.
The furnace is raised to an intense heat. and
the vegetable matter hut to separate the water
into its gases. Combustion follows as q matter
Of course, for the oxygen OF the water will seek
the carbon In the vegetable matter instantly.
With this as the theory, the actual working can
be understood.
The proprietors OF the system say that they
can burn thirty tons OF garbage in twelve hours
and sixty in twenty-four hours The city OF
Pittsburgh has a furnace in which natural gas is
used TO supply the initial heat. The city OF AL
leRheny, across the river, runs another furnace
with coal. and IL is this the New York COmmis-
sioners saw this morning. There is no porcepti-
BILE odor. The heat In the Rider furnace II
higher than that in the Thackeray furnaces In
Montreal and the principle Is different. In tho
latter the combustion Is slow and Is like that in
To the fact that the initial heat is high enough

GREATER NEW YORK.
The Need OF Providing Roon 60 Relieve
Our Oyerc royyaed CItV.


Albert +. Henschel. Secretary of the Greater
New York Commission. has issued circular
showing how the evils OF the tenement house
system are likely to he relieved by the consoli-
dation ofterrltory proposed in the Commissions
plan for the Greater New York. Mr.. Henschel
says in part:
The Greater New York has manifold advan-
tARcs. but none so important or so powerful for
good as the furnishing OF proper dwellings for
the people. New York is blessed with large
suburban areas. 1t needs only political consol-
idation to furnish the means of approach that
shall make them accessible and open them up
for settlement. In this way hundreds Of square
miles of beautiful and picturesque territory
may be fitted for homes IL nothing more were
accomplished by the great plan OF the Commits
sion that alone would be boon and a godsend
to the people.
such an opening up OF new lands wilLnot only
relieve the vicious and unhealthy overcrowding
In our present city limits. but will give employ
OF buildings adding to the wealth and prosper
ity of the workingman. the mechanic. the skilled
artisan. the contractor. and in fact every other
" It may be asked. why are not these areas
built up now, and why, do you expect this result
from annexationI The answer Is plain. The
building of bridges and tunnels will not be taken
up by private capital. which must look solely to
and profits of the enterprise. while a public
bridge would be profitable investment, as an
adequate return would be round IN the revenues
received from taxation upon the immensely in:
creased values created by the opening up and
improvement OF the new territory. The in
terest change and cost OF maintenance
would he more than counterbalanced by
the vast amounts of taxation flowing
into the city treasury. The communities
while divided will never undertake such public
works; even the Brooklyn Bridge. which has
proved of such great value to our metropolitan
community was started as a private enterprise.
and probably would not have been in existence
to-day IL II had had TO depend originally upon the
united action of the cities OF New York and
Brooklyn. Money for these Improvements under
consolidation can be secured at a very low rate
Of interest
IF you are in favor OF improving the con-
dition OF the mass of our people by securing for
them the contentment OF a true home vote the
ballot For consolidation which means the
Greater New York"
MT. VERNON. y. Y, Oct. eek x-Assembly-
man otto kempner OF New York addressed tile
people OF this city tonight at Shureman's Hall,
near his former home. in favor of the con solida-
tion OF this city and the city of New York. The

Ne Immediate Erect from J.dss I.srahan's
Decision.


The decision OF Judge Ingrahsm Of the su-
preme Court declaring unconstitutional that
clause OF the act OF 1894 which purported TO
confirm previous acts under which the Union
Railway Company built and began to operate
the "Huckleberry Road" does not progress the
litigation over that enterprise very much. The
original objections OF the plaintiff in the suit,
James Rogers a resident and property owner OF
135th street, to the operation OF the railroad
were embodied in a complaint OF fifty pages,
alleging that the various legislative acts under
which the road was operated were uncon-
stitutional. The defendant company answered
with several points OF defence, one OF which
was that the various acts referred to were
ratified by the act OF 1894. To this point of tho
s"s ds,ehse aas decision tbsr de-
murrer pronOunces the act OF II SO4 unconstitu-
tona so far as y purports TO confirm other acts.

The Grand Jury Gives Him . Hearing
Rumor About Several Captains.

After the Grand Jury adjourned yesterday

indictments had been found against Capt

ments were found on Thursday. but were not
presented until yesterday in order TO give the

Capt. Schmittberger was in the Criminal

were handed up, a number OF which were in
illegal registration cases. Jud ge Cowing told
the grand Jurors that their services might be
from the present prospects, that they would
not be.
