UNC0UPLED a RAILROAD TRAIN
serious Prank CT Three Young Men
in Hoboken.

The officials of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad have been
annoyed for some time by a gang of boys
who made practice of uncoupling pas
senger and freight trains in the yards, at
Hoboken. Yesterday afternoon while the
Easton mail and express train was being
backed into the depot gang of boys who
were stealing ride on the cars un-
coupled two of the middle coaches. The
break was noticed by one of the con-
ductors just in time to prevent the cars
from crashing into the waiting room. De-
tective Mcclellan of the railroad company
arrsted three of the boys. They gave
their names as Matthew Clynes. i6 years
old, of No. $50 Henderson street; James
F'elry. II. OF No 642 Grove street, and
James Mcdonald 10. of No. 452 Grove

course each taxpayer must bear ms snare
of the unavoidable public waste, but not
the waste or the other consumers. 10
Justify the present charges against my
clients, the city would. have to show a
waste Of 5000, coo gallons per day; in other
words, that the city was paying TO the
East Jersey Water Company, every day
in the year, S296 for water not consumed,
or $10S,040 per year. If such waste OF

Jersey City for years, without discovery
or abatement, it is certainly time Tor the
taxpayers to protest and ask the rea-
son why. / do not believe, nor does
your board claim, that any such waste
exists.
NV clients wish, above all things, to
treat the city fairly, and now offer, as
they offered in the conference to pay
the rate of 500 per million gallons when
ever the city shall reduce its purchase
of water to an average of 20,o00,00o gal-
Ions daily, if necessary, to the proper
support of the department. We have no
concern with the charges made against
other companies so long as the average
fairly 'chargeable to us is not unduly dis
turbed; that controversy Is MOI oA oei

| do feel justified, however, in calling
your attention to the fact that no special
pipe lines have been laiu for the supply
of the sugar house. while to other con-
sumers motably the railroads) miles of
such pines have been laid for their special
convenience.
Thus you will see that my clients have
good reason to complain of the bad
faith of the city. They now in turn in
tend to investigate this question to
the end and ascertain their rights

attitude of compromise / insist
upon behalf of my clients, on the
return of the moneys obtained FROM
them upon the broken promise of the city,
The amount is SIS, ,9o3; the warrant should
be made payable to the American Sugar
Refining Company.

There was no comment made on the let
