M'CARTHY'S APPEAL
Bp Cable to the United Press.

DUBLIN, Aug. Z, 1S95.-The Gree
mans Journal" publishes a manifesto
from Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, addressed to
my fellow countrymen.'' The manifesto
says that the dissension in the ranks
of the Irish party are ruinous to the
Nationalfsts' cause, and that the disas-
ters can only be repaired by the restora-
ton of discipline and by the party act
ing loyalty together. The elections
would have gone better but for the ac-
ton of so-called Nationalists openly
trying to bring back the coercionists
to power and the more lamentable blows
aimed at the Irish party by one of Mr..
McCarthy's own colleagues, at the most
critical moment of the elections.
Continuing, ME-. Mccarthy says:-"It
would be impossible to overestimate the
disasterous effect of Mr.. HeaIy's un-
founded charges at the Omagh conven.
ton, which were grossly and ludicrously
untrue. 1 am compelled to describe Mr..
Healy's action as disloyal to the party
and as a breach of the ordinary code
of honor. 1 feel bound to warn my
countrymen and colleagues on the eve of
the opening of Parliament of my views,
which, if 1 am elected to the Chair
manship of the party, I will enforce to
the utmost of my power

to hire Undertaken Cranes ambulance

DR.. Arlitz was unable to secure Cranes
ambulance or any other private con-
veyance in which to remove the disease
affected patients. and he was compelled
to resort to the use of the city ambul-

ViIlainous Tactics.

The situation of the water problem is
still unchanged.
One of the Street and Water Commis-
sioners said this morning that ma
jority of the Board did not propose being
bulldozed into taking any action on the
water question which might seriously
affect the welfare of the city. The Com
missioner referred to the Journals" un-
explained and mysterious stand on the
subject.
MIR. DEAR'S ANXIETY.
He also referred to the fact that when
the Rockaway and Hudson Company's
plan was being explained in Mayor
Wanser's private office, Mr.. Joseph A.
Dear evinced more interest in it than
all the others put together. Mr.. Dear
he said, was very much surprised on
hearing that even with the j. Couper
Lord estate behind the Hudson and
Rockaway Company it could only take
Just as much water at Boonton as the
Morris Canal having the first right to
use all the water that flows down the
Rockaway at the top of the plane.
A CHANGE OF FRONT.
Mr. Dear at that time intimated that
he had evidently misunderstood certain
representation which had been made to
him by persons interested in the Rock
away and Hudson scheme. Just how
Mr.. Dear is recone.ling his dfsappoint-
meat over the company's showing at
the public hearing with his present
stand. is puzzlfng the Street and Water
Commissioners.
The Rockalway and Hudson plan was
carefully considered by the Commission

consideration IS that the plan will be
buried SO deep that it will not rise again
before next Tuesday morning when the
water contract is to be awarded.

While there are many wonderful de-
