CHANGES In JERSEY STREAM
Mr. Smock shows How the Course
of the Passaic Was Diverted.

cfNtNHttO tHC JC.Sf HS1If ISeffS-
TRENTON. Jan. 2. 1s96.-In the advance
sheets of State Geologist John c.
Smock's report is found an interesting
paper touching the changes in the courses
of the streams of the State which has
to do largely with the question of a pure
and wholesome water supply for the diff
ferent municipalities.
BY far the most important changes in
drainage effected by the ice and its de-
posits,' says the State Geologist, were
in the basin of the Passaic. The ex-
tremely ~circuitous course of this stream
cannot fail to attract attention. Having
its sources at various points from Mend
ham to Morristown, the waters of the
system flow southwark and westward,
escaping from the area of the great
swamp through a narrow gorge across
Long Hill, at Wilmington. After escaping
from the Great Swamp, the river follows
the depression between Long Hill and
Second Mountain. to Stanley, where it
crosses the line of the moraine. From
this point its sluggish waters find their
way northward by an irregular course
Hatheid Swamp and Great Piece Mea-
escapes across the Orange Mountains,
through gaps at Little Falls and Pater-
son. Thence it's course is southward to
river of equal size which has SO irregular
and unnatural a course.
1T seems probable that in pre-glacia1
time the h~eadwaters of the Passaic were
in the vicinity of Mendhan, as now, and
that the drainage flowed theme east
ward hrough the area of Great swamp,
across the present site of the moraine,
somewhere between Madison and Chat
ham,, thence southeastward across First
and Second mountains, via Short Hills
and Millburn, and eastward to the sea.
There is a deep drift-flled gap across
Second Mountain, near Short Hills, the
bottom of which is known to be. not more
than ITO feet above the level of the sea.
Between First and SECOND Mountains. in
line with the drift-filled gap in Second
Mountain and the broad gap in First
Mountain at Millburn, the surface of the
rock is known to be not higher than the
level of the sea; 1t is almost certain,
therefore, that the rock bottom of the
Notch in Second Mountain is very much
lower than the figure indicated above.
These facts seem to indicate clearly that
in pre-glacial time the drainage Of the
Great Swamp area followed a much more
direct course to the sea h now. The
drainage from a large part Of the area
north of Short Hills probably Joined that
of the stream which found its a to
the sea by the Short Hills and Millburn

But the marauder did not seem to

and tried to take his club away from
him. He broke loose from the mems
grasp n struck them each over the
head with his club. Then he blew his
whistle for help. and Roundsmen Cross
and Officers McKenna and Leahy came to
his assistance. The two men, stunned
as they were by the blows received from
Young's club. were no match for the
quartette of policemen. they humbly

NEW YORK FAKE, THIS TIME.
The HornuDg HoId-Up story Has
No Foundation In Fact.

Chief of Police Murphy was indignant
this morning when his attention was
called to a story published in a New York
paper about nineteen-year-old Henry
Hornung. Of C-ommunipaw and Randolph
avenues, being held up twice by colored
men while on his way home from the
ferry yesterday morning. The hold up
and the story of the desperate footpads
is about the richest fake that has been
perpetrated in years.
Hornung saw 1895 out and 1896 in. He
drank farewell to 1895 several times, in
fact when 1896 arrived he did not care
much whether it stayed long or not. He
was hilarious when he started for home.
At Washington and Montgomery streets
he was asked the time by two colored
men. He not only refused to reveal it,
but became abusive, referred to the men
as coon thieves and seemed anxious to
raise a row. 1t is asserted he struck one
of the men. The blow was returned and
he went on his way more quietly.
At Grove n Grand streets he met
the same colored men. He again began
to abuse them and not wishing to get
into trouble they ak away from him.
He was not held up nor was any effort
made to rifle his empty pockets. Chief
Murphy gave Hornung a hauling over
the Goals for circulating the story of
his experience. The Chief is also going
to ask the paper which published the
fake to retract it.

GAME SEASON CLOSED.
Quail aud Rabbits abundant During
the Present Cunning Season.

Special 10 the JeTSeu C3tp Ne2cS-
MAYS LANDING, Jan. 2. 1S96.-The
season for shooting quail, rabbits, pleas
ants and other game in the southern
counties of the State closed yesterday.
The season has been the largest and
most successful for the sportsmen in
many years. Never before were the rab-
bits and pheasants SO plentiful and the
large number killed exceeded any previous
season for twenty years past. In this
and nearby localities the abbits and
pheasants were slaughtered in great num-
bers. 1t vas a common thing to kick
two or three rabbits from one tussock
in a field, and the pheasants were often
found in focks, an unusual occurrence.
This the sportsmen attributed to the dry
weather, there being nothing for them to
feed On in the swamps, thus compelling
them to seek the upland for food.
Sportsmen would return in the evening
and fifty rabbits and often fifteen to
twenty pheasants. Probably the most
successful hunter in this section was
Harry Moore. Of this place. During the
season he succeeded in killing seventy
min rabbits, twelve pheasants. five black
ducks and four quail. During the whole
season but few quail were killed. Prior
to the opening of the cunning season
sportsmen reported them plenty, and the
due TO the fact that the quail liberated
last season by the Sportsmen were of
Southern variety n are a great bird
for travelling. Other sportsmen say that
the quail remained in the swamps, which
were unusually dry because of the many
fierce and destructive forest fires of the
past summer
The sportsmen in this place are arrang-
number of quail to be liberated IN the
immediate vicinity.
