p. j. GLEASON ON WATER.
He Courts an investigation OF the Supply IN
Long Island City.

Moro trouble has arisen in Long Island City
over the scant and bad water supply. People
are buying their drinking water In some parts
Of the city rather than drink the polluted rcser-
yoir water. while in other parts citizens have
been forced to depend largely upon wells and
cisterns for water for household purposes. Re-
Gently tho Jeffersonian Democracy adopted
resolutions condemninG Mayor Gleason as being
responsible for the shortage and appointing
a committee OF three to go before tho
Grand Jury and ask for Gleason's indict-
ment. Then Mayor Gleason and tho Board
OF Water Commissioners got together and passed
resolutions calling upon the Grand Jury to in
vestiRate the lack OF water and throwing tho
blame therefor upon the Common Council.
About a year ago the Board of Water Commits
sioners entered into n contract with the Wood.
side Water Company TO supply the city. but tho
Common Council refused to ratify the contract.
Mayor Gleason's enemies assert that he owns
the Woodside Water Company and that he has
refrAined from taking measures TO increase tho
regular water supply in order to force the city
into a contract with the company.

under the guardianship Of Samuel Grossman
and his wife. who live at hat number. The Gross
mans were out for an airing. and they naturally
gravitated to Grand street. Just around the
corner from Allen street on the north side OF
Grand Is a delicatesscn store. in the front win
dows Of which hang various brands Of sausages.
The Grossmans stopped to gaze upon the
dangling assortment, while the pug ducked into
the picture-frame shop OF Bernard Zolty at 300
Grand street.
Mr.. Zolty has a family of large proportions,
which was distributed in various parts of the
establishment. No sooner did the pug go cavort-
ing down the aisle between the picture frames
than there arose a simultaneous shout from the

the pug; in fright; scampered back to the street,
the family in the lead. He seized upon the dog
before 1t had gone a dozen jumps. and he there
upon became acquainted with Gros'man and

the delight of the gathering crowd. Policeman
German finally appeared in time TO save the
pug's life. He demanded explanations, and got
them in such profusion that he took every ono
around to the Eldridge street police sta
ton, where they went over the whole
case from the png's nativity down. for
the benefit OF Sergeant Mccoy. Grossman as
serted that he had owned the dog a month.
while Zolty admitted that his dog had been gone
only ten days. The latter finally decided not to
make a charge against Grossman. who left the
station house triumphantly with his pet under
his arm. Zolty still insists the dog is his, but
says it's not worth going to law about.
