ENJOYING THE SNOW AND ZOE.
Young People Ont in Force with
Their SIeighs,

The last fall of snow, which was suffi-
cient to cover the walks with a depth
large enough to allow the young girls and
boys to go sleghing, has been taken ad-
vantage of by thousands of young peo-
pie in this>city, and as the weather has
been fair and cold the snow has re-
mained.
Since the last snow storm the asphalted
pavements have been occupied almost
daily by the children in this city. Around
the City Hall hundreds can be seen every
night enjoying themselves.
On Fourth street, between Grove street
and Jersey avenue, the same scene can
be witnessed, and in Van Worst and Ham
ilton Parks the pavements have become
almost like glass, having been used SO
much by the sleds.
In Hamilton Park, last evening, there
were fully one hundred sleds on the
walks. One thing that was very notice.
able was the "bobs'' used by the young
men and which carried as many as six
to eight people at a time. The "bobs
are made of two Sleds, with a long
plank reaching from one sled to the
. other, and is set up about four inches
from the sled by the use of a block of
wood, through which there runs a long
spike that is connected on the bottom of
the sled by a strong iron nut. They are
steep hills. The young folk hope the
cold weather will continue and wish for
more snow SO that their fun will con-
time.

FOUND BOY ROBBERS IN a GAVE
So lbe Police Say sEut where Did the
Cave Come From.

Detective Clark of the Seventh street
station last night arrested four youthful
thieves whom he arraigned before Police
Justice Potts in the First Criminal Court
this morning on a charge of robbing the
store of A. C. Gillette, No. LIS Sixth
street of a tub of butterine.
The prisoners are William Miller, is
years old of No. 127 Provost street; John
Smith is years old, of Provost and Sew
enth streets; Alexander Taylor II years
old, of No. 251 Palisade avenue; John
LYNCH II years old, no home. They were
all held for the Grand Jury on the charge
of breaking, entering and larceny. Gill
lette's place was robbed on Christmas eve.
Detective Clark searched for the
thieves but found no trace of them until
Yesterday, when he found that gang of
young thieves had a cave at the foot of
Seventh street.
stolen butterine. The thieves were alb
sent. Detective Clark watched the cave.
and learned who its inhabitants were. He
arrested them at Provost and Sixth street
last night as they were loafing around the
corner. The cave is ten feet by ten feet
and is six feet high. 1t has three en-
frances. all of which are cleverly con-
cealed from the observation of those who
might pass 1t.
The entrances are so fixed that should
the police enter at one the thieves
could make their escape by another With
out being detected. Many grocery stores
beside that of Mr.. Gillette have been
robbed in the vicinity of the cave. The
police have recovered much of the stolen
property.

FAIR HoRsBWHIPPER ARRESTED
Emil Schober Has Mrs. Boerl Locked

related in 1.-The News of yesterday, de-

this morning. Hugo Boerl and his wife,
who horsewhipped Schober in the mouse

Schober says he was always friendly
with the Boerls until Christmas nlght
when Mrs. Boerl accused him or insulting
her in her home The next day, it will
be remembered, Schober received a postal
card from Boerl threatening to horsewh1p
him on sight.
Schober thought light of the threat: On
Sunday night while he was tuning piano

Spanberg. not knowing what the rumpus
was all about, could do nothing but watch

Now he is determined to demand damages
and it is likely that he will bring suit at

Mrs. Boerl refused to make any state

other than that she intended to make a
counter charge against Schober as soon
as her husband could secure bail for her

NO WATER Date YET.
But the Commissioners Com
plain Of Harsh Criticism
Why Will East Jer-
sey Pay.

The Street and Water Commissioners
held an adjourned meeting this morning.
Contrary to expectations no action was
taken towards fixing a time and place
for the reception of bids for a new water
supply. The Commissioners have not de-
cided, as yet, when to call for bids. They
say they want to consult the Mayor and
Finance Commissioners before moving.
The idea is to have everything done as
harmoniously as possible.
The Commissioners say they are being
harshly and unfairly criticised. To make
the Water Department self sustaining un-
der present circumstances is impossible,
they contend.
We are criticised said President Bolt
wood, for great many things, but we
object to the criticism on account of the
Water Department We can make that
department self-sustaining if the several
city departments will pay for the water
they use. Other cities do that, and there
is no good reason why this city should
not We experimental with one public
school, and we now propose placing me-
ters in the City Hall. Every public
building is to be equipped with a meter.
For one month we will keep a record of
the water that is used. We will also con-
sider the number of fire hydrants, and
we all feel firmly convinced that when our
lnvestlgatlon has been completed we will
be able to show the public that if the wa
ter that is used by the several depart
ments was paid for the water department
could be operated in a self-sustaining
manner
I'VE are now running the department
as economically as possible, but to make
the department pay its own way we are
Wiling to make as many reductions as
possible. The recent break in the East
Jerseys pipe shows that it would be
very unWise not to keep the Belleville
and High Service stations we'll manned
Both stations are kept in excellent con-
dition and If there chanced to be delay
IN starting the engines it was due to no
fault of the men. 1t is impossible to
least forty pounds of steam.
Whatever expense the city incurred
by reason of the break in the East Jer-
sey's pipe will be borne by that com
pany. The company acted fairly and
promptly and in order to give US a boun-
tiful supply while the break was being
repaired gave us about eight million gall
Ions from it's Paterson reservoir The
city will lose nothing by reason Of the
break
The Board this morning adopted a new
schedule of meter rates to be paid by
builders. There were trifiing omissions in
the last schedule which was published in
