WATER ESCAPING.
Leak Discovered in the Reser-

Coar's Prompt Action.

Probably for a week or more the city
has been losing from six to ten million
gallons of water daily 1t escaped from
the new reservoir at High Service. The
discovery was made by Water Purveyor
Robert Coar. He notified the Street and
Water Commissioners and men are now
at work repairing the leak
Mr.. Coar makes an examination daily
OF the meter which registers the quantity
OF water the city receives from the East
Jersey Water Company Lately the
consumption showed a marked increase.
Mr.. Coar knew the water was not be-
ing used by the regular consumers. and
according concluded that there was a
bad break somewhere No trace Of
break could be found in any of the pipes
and Mr.. Coar proceeded to examine the
reservoirs.
When the new reservoir was built Mr..
Coar watched the work and he noticed
that a 12-inch main was laid beside the
reservoir, which, he contended, would
some day cause trouble. 1t was that
drain that is responsible for the present
costly loss of water. 1t collapsed and
carried small section of the reservoir
with It,. When Mr.. Coar made the dis
covery there was a flow of water six
inenes deep in the main which is II inches
The water escaped so rapidly that in a

A dilapidated vehicle, which NAV have
Deen used as grocery wagon or
almost anything 5 else, went along
the Boulevard, in Greenville, last
evening. The back wheels of the
nondescript were sprung, and the rear
spring had seen better days The vehicle
was drawn by an equally dilapidated

forgotten what a square meal was. In
Inc wagon were several young men and
Two kegs OF beer. When the party
reached the opposite side of the Morris
Canal bridge, in Bayonne, the rear
wheel of the wagon went to
pieces, and the horse was thrown
down. The men in the wagon.
were pretty well shaken up, judging from
the curses that came from them.
After getting out of the. wreck. the
men started to disentangle the horse from
the ruins. They first got the harness
untwisted and then backed the wagon
away from him. After several unsuc-
