RUNAWAY AT THE JUOTIoN.

There was an exciting runaway at the
Junction on Saturday afternoon. James
Conroy, of No. 1926 New York e and
G. A. Allen, of No. So Kearny avenue,
were driving a horse belonging to E. w.
Kenny, of No. 27 Cliff street, along Ar.
lington avenue, when at Bramhall ave-
nue a nut broke and the front wheel fell
off. The horse became frightened and
became unmanageable. 1t dashed down
Arlington avenue and into Grand street.
At the junction of Communipaw avenue
and Grand street the wagon collided with
the curb, throwing the occupants to the
ground. The axle caught against a tele-
graph pole and the struggling horse tore
loose from his harness. Patrolman
Closterman seized the horse by it's bride
and was dragged nearly across the street
before he got the animal under control.
Luckily no one was hurt.

Robert Curry, fifty-two years old, a
halter, of Park avenue and Fifteenth

station in Hoboken last night, bleeding
from an ugly scalp wound. He said
that he had been struck with a club in
the hands of George Killian, a fisherman.
MY wife left me- said Curry, land
when I went out to find her I was told
that she and Killian were in a shanty on
Garden street. I went in after her and
Killian ordered me out. When I refused
to leave without my wife he struck me-"
Gurry'S injuries were attended by DR..
Simon and he was told to secure a war

MONDAY. JUNE IA, 1897.
This paper is Democratic in principles
and Is independent IN its vae.cs ON all local
questions.


We print in another column the greater
part of a letter from DR.. Isaac Newton
Quimby. The small portion which we
omit is a personal impertinence. We have
pleasure in telling the Doctor that that
portion Is as silly in its assumption as it
is malicious in its intention. It might
please him if we printed it. Therefore
we leave it out.
The rest of the letter we print, because
we know no way of furnishing its author
more severely than by letting the public
read his farrago of ignorance, stupidity
and conceit in its original form.
DR.. Quimby says that " The News has
seen 1T at length to unburden ITSELF" We
were under the impression that we had
been pretty frank upon the water ques-
ton at all times. We have printed vol
tunes about it, and we rave done our best
to use that plainness of speech which is
a sort of speciality of ours. However, If
we have at length succeeded in getting a
truth regarding the water question into
DR.. Quimby's head we have surpassed our
own expectations. We have never hoped
to correct the distorted perceptions of a
man who claimed to enjoy drinking Pas
sale water.
DR.. Quimby clamors for 1.-THE News to
define its position. We will do so with
pleasure. though we should have thought
ii was sufficiently known
/. We are emphatically in favor of a
new water supply.
2. We are emphatically opposed to the
East Jersey Water Company.
8. We are in favor of procuring a new
water supply in any way and at any rea-
sonable price. so long as it is quickly pro-
cured.
4 Much as WI dislike East Jersey, we
are in favor of the city making a con-
tract with that company If a supply cam
not be speedily procured in any other
way.
5. We are unalterably opposed to fltra-
ton.
6. We are convinced that the best and
most available water supply for Jersey
City is hat afforded by the upper region
Of the Rockaway watershed.
7. We think a fair price for such a sup
ply is about $1,000, 900.
8. We are in favor of the Regeneration
Of the Passaic'' on general sanitary
grounds, but we agree with the report of
the Griggs Commission, when it says that
the river cannot be made available in It's
lowers levels as a source of municipal
supply.
We believe that if Mayor Hoos
solves the water problem, he will have
to walk fairly and squarely in the foot
steps of Mayor wanser.
TO- We lave given up irridescent dreams
of q State water supply because we expect
to die before the politics of this State be-
come clean enough to render them posi-
BILE of realization, no matter which party /
is in power.
We do not think of any other point on
which to give a definition of our position,
but If DR.. Quimby wants any more defini-
tons and will suggests the heads, we
will try and oblige him. Further, If Dr..
Quimby will esche,s personal impertin-
ences. we will be happy to print anything
of reasonable length he may choose to
write at any time. 1t amuses him-and
the publio-and we really do not see that
anyone is hurt.
