to begin organizing the most active

will undoubtedly be made TO annex both
Of these towns to the city of Newark.

seceders arc determined men. They are
already at work. and in q few days the
lega, advertisements necessary In such
cases VIII be published in the papers OF
Hudson and Essex counties to pave the
way for the Introduction of the necessary
bill in the Legislature. In a movement
of this kind the affirmative side always
has the best chance of winning. In this
case, the aggressiveness OF tho seceders
enhances their prospect Of SUCCESS.
Above all, the political aspect of the
deal makes it likely of accomplishment.
The transfer of these towns 10 Essex
means the award Of one more Assem-
blyran to that county, and as Essex
seems to be Republican to stay, the
party win not easily len slip this chance
Of a political gain.

MAGNOLIA QUICKSADD
MI. Sprouts Horse Sank in Il
Up to the Body Careless
Contractors Work.

Joseph Sprouts, an expressman of No.
2s7 Wayne street, had an experience last
night which he win not forget in a long
time.
AS he was driving up Magnolia avenue
his horses hind legs sank into the ground
in front of Mr.. A. J.. Posts residence,
at No. 1876, and it was impossible for
the animal to get them free as they
went in clear up to the body.
Sprouts got the assistance of Mr.. s.
B. s. Ogden who, with the aid of a
block and tackle, lifted the horse out
of the hole. The animal, as far as could
be seen, was not injured. He had sunk
gradually into the ground just as if it
had been quickSand.
Last May an excavation was made at
that very spot for a water pipe, and it
is now thought that it could not have
been filled in properly.

who has been engrossing clerk Of the Assem-
bly, for the past two years, thinks he is just
the man to properly engross the bills OF the
senate.
The chances of all thesef men are exceed
ingly slim, according to lobby talk, and it
looks as though a new man would secure the
prize. The Senators say Shreye has had
enough and should retire gracefully. The
same objection is urged to Williams, n a
list has been prepared showing how much
he has received from the State Treasury of
late years in the way of fees for publish
ing the laws id both his newspapers and
and the salary of Engrossing Clerk of the
House. The sum is said to be large enough
to carry the conviction that the Republican
party is under no obligations to Mr.. VIII
Hams.
Mr.. Patterson is being .'cussed' for an
altogether different cause. He is an energetic
hustling young man and last fall he con-
ceived the idea Of making Robert B.. Engel
State Senator. He started in with a rush
and made an energetic canvass which com
pletely paralyzed the old time politicians and
defeated Senator Smith for a denomination.
II old Senators who like Smith and
wanted to see him bach and the old time
politicians of Ocean won't forgive Patterson
for his presumption in nominating and elect
ing a Senator of his own and he may not
get even bis old place.

ABOUT the muddy ditch which begins al

TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
Arser the usual delay OF an hour this
morning. The lawyers announced that
they were ready. and Mr.. Croes dropped
into the witness chair, pulled out his
pad and pencil and patiently, waited for
on figures pertaining to rainfall, ground
flow and other dry. though wet sub
jects.
Mr.. Edwards asked a few questions
about the submerged dams in the Gro
ton reservoir, n then Mr.. Charles L.
Corbin proceeded. to help Mr.. Croes to
patch up his tables of figures which
Mr.. Edwards had considerably damaged
in course of cross-examination. When

muttered. Secular and shook his
head
That means it isn't Dutch Reformed
said Mr.. Edwards, and the lawyers
laughed. The explanation didn't salts
fly Mr.. Corbin, who added y.
What is 'secum' an age doing here?"
The experts explained that secular"
in that relation means long cycles Of
years.
The matter being settled Mr.. Ward
practically proved what the defendant
company has all along claimed that the
records of Lake Hopatcong's rainfall as
produced by the prosecutors, We're fr-
regular and inaccurate. He had pre-
pared a set of tables which he explained
like the others, were thrust onto
the already burdened record.
Mr.. Edwards elected the fact that
the rain records alluded to were kept by
the lock keeper who measured it with
an antique gauge.
"a person of no scientific attain
ments? 2" asked MI. Edwards. in a purr-
mo. sir" said Mr.. Ward.
This evidence was considered by the
defendant company OF great Importance,
for it knocked into a cooked hat the
rainfall records produced by the prosecu-.
tors, who used it for the. purpose of
showing that the rainfall over the
drainage area of the defendant COM
pany's proposition was Inadequate for a
