SM0OTH WATER.
Finance Board Will Dis
cuss the Plans for a
New Gravity Sup
ply Tonight
RUMORS THAT THEY WILL GO THROUGH
Mayor Hoos Will Not Put Any
Blocks in the Way-Chances
that the Water Problems
Are Near Solution.
RUMORS THAT THEY WILL GO THROUGH

The Finance Board will be up to its
neck in water tonight, for they will, at
a special meeting, mak thorough the
plans and specifications for a new water
supply for Jersey City. These are the
plans recently adopted by the Board OF
Street and Water Commissioners, and
which include three plans for a gravity
supply and one by filtration.
When Messrs. Vermeule and Ferris
drafted the plans a copy was sent to the
Finance Board members, who have had
little time to spend in examining them.
Tonight's meeting will be a long one, and
it may be that the Board won't even Teacn
a decision tonight, for they propose 10 go
very carefully through them. All me
member excepting Mr.. Midlidge nave
had much experience with water specl-
fications, and what with disputed con-
tracts, certiorari proceedings and olneI
interesting proceedings they are Wen
qualified for the task set before them to-
night.
1t is said, semi-otficially, that President
Brautigam and Messrs. Simpson, Balley
and Kellers, the big four of the Board,
are resolutely opposed to any hlIratlo1
scheme. They AVE no taste for inferred
Passaic sewage. If, however, it appears
that it would be good economy to con-
slider propositions for purifying the Pas
| sale River, the members will undoubtedly
give it every attention for a very econom-
ical set of gentlemen they are, tney
| keep a close watch on the city's treasury.
When the Board have. adopted the ae
| specifications, and those who profess 70
know the minds of the members conf
IDENTIFY say they will, the resolutions ut on +b OF
the Board of Works concurred in by the
Board of Finance, will then go before the
Mayor, and many are anxious to know
| what he will do with these precious specl-
fications and plans. viii he veto them or
| not?" is the question uppermost. VIII
he write a long letter sending them back
for revision?" ask others.
Mayor Hoos, it is understood, will no
put any block in the way. He is anxious
to get the water question solved as soon
as possible and will either sign the reso-
| lutions or allow them to become operative
| without his signature, and the latter
| course, it is said, will be adopted. There
| are some features in the plans which the
Mayor does not approve Of; but they are
| not vital or else he woald have called a
conference or written a letter to the Board
Of Street and Water Gommissions1rs. III Th e
| the Board of Finance and tonight will
| settle in some way the preliminaries for
that long talked of and much needed
water Supply,

KEARNY SEbKs FREEDOM.

Frank M. McDermit, of Newark, will
probably apply to a Justice of the Su-
writ of habeas corpus for the release OF
John Watts Kearny, Jr. The latter was
committed to the County Jail last Fri
day to await the action of the Chancei-
lor on the finding of a commission, Whlch
declared that he was an habitual drunk
ard. The proceeding resulting in the in
generation were brought by the prison
er's father, John Watts Kearny.
Mr.. McDermit said yesterday that he
was merely awaiting the arrival of Count
Oliver Kearny De Kernel, MI. Kearny's
cousin. 1t might be, he continued, most
expeditions to be given a 81, 900 bond, which
would secure the prisoners release at
once. If the bond was not given. an APP
p~lication would be made to a supreme
Court Judge, and if that was ineffective,
an appeal would be made to a Federal
Judge, on the ground that Mr.. Kearny
is not a resident of New Jersey.
81 nave received a letter from Mr.. Kear-
n.y." said Mr.. McDermit, sin which he
gives a history of the case. He says he
was arrested in Kearny, where he was on
a visit of a few days at the instance OF
his father, who had just returned from a
seventeen months tour in Europe. Father
and son had not seen each other for more
than three years.
MY client engaged a lawyer put the
latter, just on the eve of the inquisition,
dropped the case, leaving Mr.. kearny to
defend himself. None of the witnesses,
he says, who appeared against him could
ACCOUNT 1OI ~ lOilt IL MS ASSOAt INV.
and one of them admitted that for a con-
siderable period he knew Mr.. Kearny to
be a total abstainer. Yet the commission
found that he was an habitual -drunkard
from October "a, 1894, to last Friday, or
nearly three, years.
For many months of that period Mr..
Kearny says he was in a lunati asylum
in Paris, France, whittier he went on the
understanding hat it was a private sani-
tarium. He finally obtained his release
through the Intervention of the American
Consul General at Paris. Mr.. Kearny
claims to live in Princeton, KY, where he
has a situation in a bank, has other in
terests and has voted at least once.
Under the writ ne exeat whereby Mr..
Kearny was committed, the Chancellor
can take no action for ten days. After
that time he has sixty lays in which to
approve the finding of the commission or
to order the prisoners release. Whether
a bond is filed or Mr.. Kearny is released
by order of a Supreme Judge, we will at
tack before the Chancellor the findings of
the commission,
I'm case a Supreme Court Judge re-
fuses to act, we will ask a Federal Judge
to interfere on the ground that Mr.. Kear-
ny is a resident of Kentucky and that the
courts of this State have no jurisdiction
in a case of this character.
"Mr. Kearny states that the trouble be-
tween him and his father is long stand
ing, but of such a nature that it car
only be explained in a personal inter-
view

REPUBLICANS CONDEMNED.
sixth Ward Democrats Hear speeches
and Pass Resolutions.

At the meeting of the Sixth Ward
Democratic Association last night, Ship
man Hall was filed witt one of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic audiences ever
seen in the Lafayette section OF the city.
Nearly 500 men were present and the
members of the association feel conluent
that the largest Democratic majority ever
known in the history of the ward VIII pc
given to the Assembly ticket on next
Tuesday. The speakers OF the evening
were Alexander c. Young, late candldate
for Congress-; John Wahl Or. ChaS.
C. Hendricks of Bayonne and Horace Al
len. candidate for Assembly from Hobo-
ken. Each of the speakers spoke logl.
cally and impressively upon the subject OF
equal taxation, which is the dominant IS
sue in this campaign, and each address
was followed with a storm OF applause.
The following resolution was adopted
Resolved, That we condemn the Legis-
lature of 1897, the record of which,. for
absolute disregard of the public welfare,
is without parallel. The Republican
promise of equal taxation was followed py
a Legislative trick, depriving munlcipall-
ties of Hudson county of hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The right TO local
Self-goyernment was aSSalled IN order
that a corrupt ring might continue TO
plumber the treasury of Jersey City, and
we defy the delegation that misrepresent-
ed the people of Hudson county in h
Legislature to exhibit a single law in the
interest of their constituents.

DBNVER's BLIZZARD.
Great Suffering and PseunIary Loss
Caused by the Early Snow.

DENVER, Col, Oct. q. 1S97.-The biz
card which began Monday night lasted
until early this morning. During the
night the storm gradually abated and at
eight O'Clock this morning snow ceased
falling. Not only did the storm cause
universal discomfort, hut it inflicted heavy
~pecuniary loss as well In one item tsI Of
light wires and poles the damage foots
up to SAC, 900.
To this must be added the heavy ex-
pense entailed upon the street railways
in attempts to keep their lines open and
the loss to merchants in the way of bust
ness. Many families dined on tea and
crackers or went to bed last night with
not deliver goods.
The streets piled high with snow present
a curious spectacle. There is hardly a
some point a tangle of fallen telephone
and electric light wires. On all sides
broken poles hang in mid air, or peer
that throughout the State no less than
5000 miles of wire are strewn on the
ground. Manager E. B. Field Of Colorado
the business district where our wires have
ben placed under ground, our system in
Denver has been practically annihilated.
The City Gable Car Company managed
storm, but the tramway lines were
brought to a complete standstill.
The gulf was the only railroad that
succeeded IN SelllnS a TRAIN over tne
division to Colorado Springs and Pueblo,
and its officers are proud of the achieve
ment. Trains from the South are com
ing today u to Is hours late. The Den
yer & Rio Grande succeeded in opening
its main line last night. Shortly after
midnight a rotary snow pillow, pushed by
six engines, found its way into the Dem
yer yards. 1t was followed by six passen-
ger rains which should have arrived in
Denver at different hours during yester-
day. beginning with Z o'clock. The noun
tain roads escaped the full fury of the
storm and trains on them ran nearly on
time.
roads were kept open, by means of snow
plows and trains were sent out last night
.as usual.

MURDERERs IN THE TOLLS.
Bridgeport Police Rejoice Over q
Good Capture.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, October n, 1897.
The Bridgeport police are in ecstacies
today over their capture last night of
Charles A. Bonai and David A. Weeks,
the men who for three months have
el11ded arrest on charges alleging the
murder of Farmer George Marcus Mich
OILS. of Trumbull, last July. The men at
an early hour this morning found them
selves securely confined in the Central
station lookup, subject to the orders OF
the prosecuting authorities.
This morning Superintendent of Police
birmingham received instructions from
State Attorney Samuel Fessepden, indi-
eating that the two men will probably
on bench warrants, without the Formally
of a preliminary hearing. Mr.. Fessenden
Instructed the local police to deliver their
prisoners into the custody Of High Sher-
if Hawley. Accordingly. the Chief this
morning caused the two men to pose for
Rogues' Gallery pictures, after which he
delivered then to the Fairfield County
Jail in this city, where they will remain
until State Attorney Fessenden sees fit
to bring them to trial on charges al
leging murder in the first degree.
So far both prisoners have refused to
talk at length. Ronad is persistent in his
claims of his innocence, while his COM
ent.
In the minds of the police the men are
as good as proven guilty. Superinten-
dent Birmingham said today that the po-
lice have in their possession sufficient evil
dence to convict them both without a
guilty of first degree murder and Weeks
will probably share the same fate. Up to
noon the time for their trial had not been
definitely settled upon.

A DANGEROUS TIME.
Just Vow - when You Must BE
Specially Careful.

ssrhere is no season of the year which
has more real dangers han the present"
This remark was made by an eminent
scientist who had been a close observer
for many years. Thus continuing, he
said
People who have passed through the
summer, even if they have taken a vaca-
ton, are more or less in a rundown and
exhausted condition at the opening OF the
fail season. The muscles have become
relaxed, the pores of the skin are open,
and the heat of the body causes exposure
to drafts which are none the less danger
Gus because they are not felt.
1.-THE great danger from all this is
pneumonia, which is getting to be the
most subtle, as well as most dangerous,
disease of American life. 1t comes quick
ly, and too often it ends quickly. 1t as
sumes many forms, but they are all seri-
Gus and too often fatal
Every man or woman who feels any
sudden change which causes a cough,
cold, tightening of the n~ostrils, a chill or
muscular pains, should take a good, pure,
h~ealth-giving stimulant. Take it medi-
cinally. and remember that the best in the
market is Duffy'S Pure Malt 5Wniskey,
which has been before the pubic LOT
years, and has done more to counteract
pneumonia than any other preparation
known to the world. Do not let any drug

thing else hat he may say is Just as
