GHOSTS IN HIS BRAIN.
Koch Of Hoboken Gives Policeman
Kruse a Lively Morning.

Policeman Julius Kruse, of Hoboken,
had an experience with supposed crazy
man about four o'clock this morning,
which .came near wrecking his nervous
systen
Just Before daylight Kruse saw a man
sitting alone on one of the benches in
Hudson Square Park. He walked over
to the stranger and was about to ques-
ton him when suddenly the man gave
piercing shrek and sprang to his feet,
shouting, ssHelp, help! Don't let him
kill me. Stop them Off,
Kruse had not expected such sudden
outburst and it was some minutes be-
fore he recovered from the shock.
whats the matter with you?" he
asked, but the man went right on yell
ing, his eyes glaring with madness and
his body trembling with fear.
.sWho's after your demanded Kruse
ssWhy, don't you see them?" replied the
man. There they are. see? They are
after me. Stop them OFF,
AS the man shouted he pointed in the
direction of Third street. Kruse looked
but there was no one in sight, SO he led
the man toward Police Headquarters.
After q few more shouts, the stranger
became quiet and id not offer any resist
ance.
They've gone now,' he remarked in a
whisper 81 guess they're off my track !"
The man created no more excitement
until he reached Third street There he
began to yell again. His imaginary enc
mics. he said, were coming up Third
street on a run. He made frantic efforts
to escape but Kruse held firm grip on
his coat and after a desperate struggle
| succeeded in subduing him. On the way
| to the police station the prisoner con-
| tinued to shout at intervals and many OF
| the residents along Hudson street got out
| of their beds to see what was the mat
| ter.
| Police Headquarters, his fear of imagi-
| nary beings vanished and he became ex-
| ceedingly rational. He said he was Chris
topher Koch, 81 years old, of No. Will
| low Terrace. Koch was injured some
| time ago while working on the Hamburg
| steamship dock, and the police believe
| that his brain is affected He was held
| for examination by County Physician

WATER And Mud.
Specifications for Two
Kinds of Beverage to Be
!. Invited by the City.
FILTRATION TO HAVE A CHANCE
Result of the Commissioners Con-
ference With the Experts Re-
garding the Water Supply.

Messrs. c. C. vermeule and Garwooo
Ferris, experts employed by the city TO
draft plans and specifications, met the
members of the Street and Water BOARD
yesterday to talk over the specifications.
The engineers handed the members OF
the Board draft or rather incomplete
specification for a gravity supply which
the members will think over.
The Commissioners told the engineers
that in their Judgment the city ought to
give an opportunity to owners OF ultra
ton plants to come in and bid. How
could that be effected in the specifica-
tions.
I'VE can make special specification
for filtration. That will make two, one
for the gravity supply and the other for
filtration," replied the engineers and that
was satisfactory to the Board.
The engineers were asked if there should
be any stipulation in the filtration speci-
fications as to the appliances to be used.
that is to say, whether the filtration pro-
cess should be mechanical or chemical,
where the beds were to be built and many
other points.
Both experts agreed that there should
be no stipulation as to that matter in the
specifications. They should be drawn as
broadly as possible to allow everyone to
bid who had filtration plant or similar
scheme to transform foul and filthy Pas
sale water into clear, wholesome spark
ling liquid. With that idea in view the
specifications will be drawn and copy
will be submitted to the Commissioners
in few days. Then there will be an
other conference at which the Board Will
make such suggestions as may have oc-
CURED to them after the perusal OF the
draft submitted to them yesterday. The
entire specifications will, 1t is expected, be
ready in about one month.
Few have any idea of the magnitude OF
the work of drawing specifications for
water supply. Messrs. Vermeule and Fer
ris have made great progress in their
work and after another conference the
specification will be ready for giving to
the public.
81 cannot say what these specifications
are," said Mr.. Ferris this morning, be
cause they are really not before the Board
yet and it would be manifestly improper to
say anything yet. We submitted yester-
day to the Commissioners an incomplete
specification for their consideration. Be
yond that think I can say no more"
As to the nature of the incomplete
specifications" Mr.. Ferris was diplomatic
calIy silent. He was very polite and
courteous and willing TO talk, as Disraeli
would say. in glittering generalities, but
when it came to replying to questions like;
How many reservoirs are there to be?''
How many pipe lines" Amy indications
of particular watershed?" etc., Mr. Fer
ris skilfully answered them in the Irish
fashion by asking others. In despair 'The
News" representative finally asked him
when the specifications would be ready
for the public and ne replied
There's lot of work in water speci-
fcations, is there not?'

Twenty Members of Congress Tell
How 1t Passed.

BOSTON, Sept. 8, 1Se7.-The Herald
this morning prints letters from twenty
members of the Fifty-fifth Congress, rep
resenting almost as many States, in reply
to a circular sent out to secure the facts
in regard to the passage of the famous
Section % of the Dingley tariff bill.
With one exception, the writers pro-
fessed ignorance of the amendment to
Section o. Congressman Cobbing of Penn
sylyania says the change was called to
his attention and he believed then and be-
lieves now that it is all right. and that
there was no trick or misunderstanding
in the matter.
Congressman Lacey of Iowa says he
examined the amended section and Won
dered if it was so skilfully drawn as to
avoid existing treaties, as he supposed
the treaties would have to be annuled to
make it operative.
Senator Frye of Maine says he does not
believe that. as adopted, it repealed Sec
tion 422S of the revised statute. under
which the President has extraordinary
powers touching reciprocal rights. and
that neither the conference committee
nor Congress intended to provide by this
law an invidious distinction as to, the
commercial relations of our country with
Others The other replies contain various
references to the manner in which the bill
was passed, some complaining that 1t was
crushed through" others that it was
sssmuggled in," and denying knowledge

Out on the Pacific coast there is an odd

Government control, and Uncle Sam has
nothing to do with it. The line is between
Santa Catalina Island, lying twenty miles
out at sea, and Los Angeles, Cal. All the
postmen are trim, saucy carrier pigeons.
Every day during the summer months
these tiny messengers fly from the island
across the ocean channel fifty miles, bear

MINERS STRIKE A sEAG
Stro n~ Element I'm the Columbus
Oppose the ComprOmise

Convention oppose tne C0fH pFohhso
COLUMBUS. o., Sept. 8, 1S97.-The Ma
tional convention of United Mine Work
ers has struck a snag. Among the dele
gates has grown a feeling that even were
the strike settled Ohio and Pennsylvania
would be the beneficiaries. There are men
of this belief in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and West Virginia, the two first States
being practically unanimous.
President knight and Secretary Ken
nedy. of Indiana, believes a settlement on
the basis proposed would adjust natters
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and East
ern Illinois. but would have little or no
effect in, Northern Illinois. These men are
substantially in favor of continuance
of the strike. The delegates from Illinois
and Indiana, so far as can be learned,
as the session is being held with closed
doors, are acting in harmony.
Certain Ohio delegates are standing by
West Virginia, as settlement without
advantage to that section from the min
ers' point of view, would be tantamount
to the miners union losing the ground 1t
has gained there.
The Massillon, Ohio, delegation Is
numbered among those who object to a
settlement as proposed. They say the
lowest wages they have been paid was
54 cents per ton and a settlement at the
proposed Pittsburg rate of 65 cents would
only increase the Massillon rate two
cents per ton. They want a differential
of five cents between the Massilon and
Hooking Valley fields.
President Carson of North Carolina.
says they win stay out whether the
strike is settled or not.
Pittsburg made d fight today for ad-
ditional delegates, and 1t is understood
the proposition was granted.
|. A Pittsburg delegate says a settlement
will be reached. He is a newspaper
man from the Press. but has credentials
and is on the floor as a delegate.

WRONG WAY TO DO IT.
out Of Town Truckmen Riaed with.
oua Warning for Asphalt Driving.

Joseph Ricketts,, of Newark, Thomas
Lynch, of New York, and Arthur Patch
en-, of New York, truckmen, were fined
50 each by Justice Potts, this morning,
for violating the ordinance restricting the
use of the asphalt street to light wagons.
The truckmen pleaded Ignorance of the
ordinance, but the court would not accept
that TO ran excuse.
For the week, Chief of Police Murphy
has had uniformed policemen Stationed at
various points along the asphalt roadways.
They have advised every truckman who
encroached on the restricted pavement
that he would be arrested if he trespassed
after yesterday. The majority of truck
men proftted by the warning and re-
turned to the use of Grand or Montgomery
streets.
The three men arrested were caught
carly this morning by Bicycle Policeman
O'Donnell. 1t is expected that a great
many arrests will be made today.
Chief of Police Murphy believes that
there will be no more trouble with truck
men after this week.
