Mr.. Hopken or to anyone else made the
statement attributed to me or said any
thing that could by any possibility be
so interpreted or misunderstood. I do
not for one instant believe that our
city officials or any one of them would
be directly or indirectly a party to the
intentional pollution of our water sup
ply.
have been in Europe for two months
and am absolutely ignorant of the de-
tails and merits of the water contracts
offered to the city authorities.
My only feeling in regard to the water
question is that new supply should be
speedily secured and that your Honor
can safely be trusted to protect the
interests of the city in this as in the
other matters committed to your charge
Respectfully.

0VERW0RKED ENGINEERS.

WASHINGTON, Sept IA, 1ss5.-Consid-
cradle comment has been caused at the
Navy Department by the news of the
detachment of Chief Engineer Kirby of
the United States battleship Texas by
reason of prostration from overwork. He
is the fifth chief engineer to give way
mental strain to which the engineer Off
GERS are subjected.
This succession of breakdowns shows
for the men who have gone under are
the survival of a picked body, who have
heretofore been able to carry on the
most severe work imposed upon them.
Naval officers speak earnestly and free
ly upon this matter and some of them
say that unless sufficient naval engineers
are provided to do the work effectually,
there should be a stoppage in the build
ing of war vessels.

(By special correspondence of the United

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 8, via
Key West, Sept. IA, 1S95.-Particulars
have just reached here of the engage
ment between the forces of Garrido,
Gomez and Jose Maceo, at Savingo, on
the 30th ult., wherein the loss of life
was very heavy.

pieces of artillery, met the vanguard of
jose Maceos forces a short distance

the foot of the high hill, ON the peak of
which their camp was located. drawing
Maceo, with 1880 men, watched the
fight from his well fortified position

his force of 1,200 men down the opposite
side of the hill and surrounded the en-
Spaniards fought desperately, and for
some hours the list of slain grew rap

Antonio Maceo. who was in Eucandell,

I Q
THE PUBLIC

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. II, 1895.
To the Public
There are before me awaiting my Off
cial action two resolutions relating to a
new water supply for Jersey City, both
OF which can be separately considered
ana acted upon.
l will be at my office in the City Hall
each day at ten o'clock A. NJ. tomor-
row eThursday), Friday, Saturday and
Monday, September 12, 10, IA and 1s, 1895,
to hear any citizen desiring to be heard
both those opposed and those favoring
the signing of the resolutions.
One resolution relates to a contract
for temporary supply, the other for a
twenty-five 25) year supply.
The following facts should be kept in
mind by all citizens desiring to express
themselves
The temporary supply is to be furnish
ed by the East Jersey Water Company
from its surplus above its contract re-
quirements, incident to that company's
water works known as the Pequannock
or Newark system. This supply water
is in the control of the East Jersey
Water Company until A. D. 1900. The
resolution awards a contract for one
year, with the right to renew, and at
a price of $43 per million gallons for
twenty (2W million gallons, reducing
gradually to $22 per million gallons for
fifty (50) million gallons. The amount
of that surplus, now available, is not
sufficient for the city's needs at all
times of the year and the additional
amount necessary will have to be OBJ
tanned by pumping the present water at
Belleville
The other resolution awards contract
for period of twenty-five (25) years for
a supply of water by the gallon to the
Jersey City Water Company, according
to the terms of existing laws.
The law permits the city authorities
to make a contract to buy water by
the gallon only, for a term not exceed
ing twenty-five (25) years. and to pledge
the water rents to pay for it, and in case
the water rents do not meet the outlay
then the deficiency is to be raised in
the tax levy.
The water-the Jersey City Water Com
pany proposes to furnish-is at the price
of $39.75 per million gallons for twenty
2o) million gallons, gradually reducing
to s25 per million gallons for fifty $50
million gallons.
The laws do not permit the city au-
thorities to buy water works or bond the
city therefor in excess of the sum OF
s5oo,o
The law permits that the contract pro-
viding for the purchase of water by the
gallon only can contain an option tc
purchase the water works, but such pur-
chase cannot be made unless it is sub
! mitted to the votes of the people al
an election. general or special.
The cost of the proposed works of the
Jersey City Water Company is $7,95O,-
o0o.5O. The making of the purchase is
in the control of the voters solely II
case 1 sign the resolution to purchase
the water by the gallon, which is now
| awaiting my action.
Very respectfully.

own story, was presented ~ N@yoi
Manser at his Office this morning
Jersey City. Sept. Z, 1895.
.sThe undersigned real estate dealers
and persons interested in the purchase
and sale of real estate in Jersey City,
respectfully request your Honor to ap-
prove of the resolution now before you
awarding a contract for a temporary
supply of water to the East Jersey
Water Company at the rate of $43 per
million gallons and also the resolution
awarding contract to the Jersey City
ply Of water at the rate of $S9.75 per
million gallons. Now is the time for ac-
tfon; each failure to act in the past
has been followed by an increase in
price
We are convinced that the present stag
nation in real estate in Jersey City is
very largely due to our lack of a proper
water supply. This city is losing daily
many residents from the impure condi-
tion OF the Passaic water. and persons
living elsewhere will not purchase or
rent houses in Jersey City until we can
give them some assurance of a pure
water supply in the immediate future.
Many houses are vacant and building
has greatly fallen off.
We believe that Jersey City should
have permanent supply of water. free
from all possible sources of pollution.
ard the intake should be located above
all growing towns and villages. and also
above the flow of the Morris Canal
In locating new water supply we
should rot repeat the mistake made
years ago at Belleyille.
The question of ultimate purchase can
be safely intrusted to vote of the
people. Yours respectfully.

OMAHA, June 24.-The dispatch OF We'd

Satolli Of the order Of Bishop Bonacum, dis
pensing with the services Of Father Fitz-
gerald, Of South Auburn and Father Muir
ply, of Tecumseh, is confirmed by the
bishop. In letter to these clergymen
dated juno 10 Bishop Bonacum recalls the
order, but supplements 1t with another in
validating the priestly functions at noon
July 10 unless they comply with certain
conditions Of q financial nature. Should
they refuse compliance with the conditions
imposed, tho bishop says that he will take
proper steps to remove them. The priests
replied to the letter by demanding re-
traction within FIVE days, otherwise they
will institute action against Bishop Bon
acumin the papal court at Washington.
An important point in the letter of the
bishop is reference to the propaganda,
which indicates his purpose Of ignoring

HASTINGS VETO POWER


Ray be Ussd on the Religious Garb snt
Quay County BiiIs-
.HAHRrsBuRa, juno 24.-Ths religious
garb bill will be taken up this week by
Governor Hastings for inal consideration.
This measure has excited more interest
than any other passed by the recent legis-
iature. 1t is advocated by the patriotic
societies, and strong pressure Is being
brought to bear upon the governor by
these organizations to have the bill be-
come law. The governor was at first In
clined to favor the proposition, but the
opposition to 1t from the Mennonites and
Dunkards is so pronounced that 1t Is prac-
tically settled that he will veto 1t. These
people claim that II the bill should be-
come law it would force their children
out of the public schools because OF the
simple dress which they wear. 1t is be-
lieved that the governor will take the
broad ground that the bill is unconstitu-
tional because IL discriminates against
certain religious scots.
The Quay county bill is also in danger
of being vetoed. The general objection is
that within the next twenty years the
coal lands in the territory in Schuylkill
and Luzerne counties, out Of which 1t is
proposed TO create the new county, will be
outworked, and that the large population
will be materially decreased. The COVER
nor's friends also say that the population
In the proposed county Is made up princi-
pally of foreigners Of whom not more
than 10 per cent. pay taxes. When the
mines are abandoned these people will
drift to other localities, and the burdens
of the county government will fall upon
the agricultural classes.
