Keran Kennedy, a big strapping young
fellow, of No. 1856 Fifteenth street. Jersey
City, was arrested yesterday afternoon in
Hoboken for disurderly conduct. He
made a visit to some friends on the top
floor of the two-story house, No. 226 JEFF
ferson street. The party made plenty of
noise and shook the building by dancing.
Mrs.. Annie A1berts. who lives on the
bottom floor, became alarmed at the way
her hanging lamp was being tossed and
shaken, and went upstairs to remon-
strate. Kennedy called Mrs. Alberts a
vile name and followed her down stairs.
He was drunk, and on his way down his
head struck a hall lamp and broke it.
Mrs. A1berts became furious. and aid
IL he didn't nave it replaced she would
have him arrested. He made no an
swer. but went out into the street n
bombarded Mrs. Arberts with snowbaIls,
one of which struck her in the eye. Mrs.
Alberts screamed and Officer Hayes, VINO
was on post, hearing the noise rushed
up and put the snowballer under ar
rest.
This morning Mrs. Alberts said she
wished to wfthdraw her complaint. as the
lamp had been paid for. She did NOT
mention that b had been snowbalIed. but
said the prisoner had used bad LANGUAGE
to her. The Recorder dismissed the case
after warming the prisoner that the next

It is Of great interest, in connection
with the pending contract for a perma-
nent water supply, to glance at the hnan-
cial aspects of the situation. we already
owe a large bill to the East Jersey
Water Company. and we viii contract a
very heavy annual obligation in under
taking to pay for the new supply.
1t viii doubtless be a surprise to many
to know that we have the means of pay
ing the debt already contracted; but from
this time orwa we have a constant
prospect Of deficiency to be made good
either by an increase of at least twenty
per cent. in the water rents or else by
general taxation.
Regarding the debt already contracted,
figures of tolerable certainty can be pro-
cured. When it was discovered that the
East Jersey Water Company could not
carry out the terms of its temporary
contract by furnishing at least 100000 0
gallons Of water a day, the company con-
sented to give all 1t could spare from
Newark at the rate of $40 per million
gallons. When its new auxiliary pipe
was completed, it was to return to the
rate of $43 per million, established in the
temporary contract. Whether any def
mite oyenant was made between the
city n the company on these terms we
do not know. 1t is certain, however,
that the company has gone on furnishing
water on the tacit assumption that it's
price would be paid. while the city has
gone on taking the water in the hope
that sooner or later it would force the
company to accept lower terms.
In this way water has been furnished
Q the city since January 1 to the pres
pt day. Considering the completed
pnths of the year. ar exact calculation
