conclusion that his boat had been stolen

then went to the Greenyille police sta

men. Patrolman Bose was sent to the
scene of trouble with the boat owner, and
again the Italians were asked to relfn-
quish their claim on the boat. While the
proprietor was arguing with the italians
young Musgrave, who had been standing
around, put his oar in," as Gorsuch des-
cribed it,, and when he (Gorsuch) turned

WEARY WATER PROBLEM
1t is Now Said the Mayor Will
Not Approve Any of the
Present Bids.

The water problem is still in an unset
tied state. The indications today are
that Mayor Hoos will not approve any
of the bids now before the Street and
Water Board save that of the Rockaway
and Hudson Company. His Honor bases
his stand on two things. The first IS
that the Rockaway people offer the guam
tity of water required at the cheapest
price, and, secondly, because the water
it offers is purer than that of any other
competitor.
President Hauck, of the Street and Wa
ter Board, had talk with the Mayor tc-
day and endeavored to convince him that
it would be to the city's advantage to ac-
quire a plant capable of delivering a
supply of 10000, 900 gallons a day. Mayor
Hoos vas prepared to meet such an ar
gument.
Immediately after the Mayor had an
nounced that he would not approve a
plant that would cost S9,oo0,Oo0 or even
he had made an error in taking such a
position Newark's 5o.oooo 600 plant cost
S6,0O0.Oe0, and it is a well known fac that
million dollars on the work. The Mayor
remembered this, and concluded that II a
700OO.000 gallon plant is required by Jer-
sey City, it would be impossible to ac-
quire plan tfor much less than $4,000, 900
or So 100000. The Mayor at once wrote, to
several disinterested and expert engl-
neers laying before them the increased
consumption from 1880 and asked if in
their opinion plant capable of delivering
$4,000, 900 gallons a day would not be
sufficient for the needs of the city for
the next twenty-five years.
One of the first gentlemen to answer the
Mayors question was the famous Mr.
Fteley 1t is his opinion that if ordinary
care is exercised sc, ,000, 600 day will be
more than the city will use Is years
hence. Mayor Hoos laid the information
before President Hauck when that geE-
tleman was arguing for a 10,000s000 gal-
Ion plant President Hauck next sug-
gested~that the Street and Water Board
give Flynn a contract to furnish g, 600, 0D0
gallons q day. A plant capable OF deliv-
ering the quantity of water Is offered by
Flyflii Cor S6,345, 900.
The Mayor refused to commit himself
to the Flynn proposition. He intlmatei
to President Hauck that the public would
regard an award to Flynn for $6.345.JCo IS
unWarranted when only 35 000, 900 gallons
of water a day can be obtained, while the
Rockaway Company Offers supply of
50 900, 900 gallons day for 5000, 900. presi-
dent Hauck said the Flynn system was
capable of enlargement. Mayor Hoos re-
piled that from observations he had made
he believed the Rockaway plant could he
increased in size with as much ease and
at less expense than the Flynn. The
Street and Water Commissioners do not
like the Rockaway plan, and all the bids
now under consideration may be reject
ed The Flynn people have not given up
hope of getting the water plum

HAD HIS SWEETHEART ARRESTED
Aged William Schmol1ing Says She
Stole the Presents He Gave Her.

ASixty-year-old William Schmolling of
No. 200 Jefferson street, Hoboken called
on Recorder Stanton, Yesterday and
caused warrant to be issued for Ida
Grundel, his nineteen-years-old servant
girl. He accused the girl of stealing two
gold rings, a pair of gold bracelets, a
gold and a silver watch, a gold-headed
umbrella and several other articles. The
warrant was given to Detective Weinthal
to serve and last night he apprehended
the woman.
In Recorder Stanton's court queer
story came to light. 1t appeared that
Schmolling is widoWer. Shortly after
the death of his wife he installed the
nineteen-year-old Ida as his hOlsekeeper.
1t is said that the couple maintained the
relations of man and Wife However
that may be, all the testimony in court
showed that the old man had presented
the alleged stolen jewelry to Ida The
jewelry. BELONGED to the old mans de-
ceased wife Saturday the couple quar-
relied and the young woman left her ell
derby admirer, taking with her, in her
trunk, the jewelry she says was pre-
scented to her After listening to the tes-
timony Recorder Stanton decided that
there wasn't any foundation for the
charge of larceny, and after giving tine
old man some wholesome advice to be-
ware of tickle young women the case was
dismissed.

is the view of the situation taken by the
Spanish authorities here.

AIScH WAS DROWNED.
So Says a Corners Jury Although the
Mans Skull Was Fractured.

County Physician Converse. on Saturday
night, held an autopsy on the body of Au-
gust Aisch. the Union Hill man who was
found in the Weehawken reservoir. The
county physician found that death was due
to drowning, although he declared that there
had been fracture of the skull which could
not be accounted for. The case is mystify
ing the North Hudson police. Some incline
to the belief that Aisch was murdered, but
the majority think that he committed suicide.
He had been respondent for some time owing
to his inability to procure work.
Tomorrow night Coroner Greenleaf and a
Jury will hold an inquest into Aischs death.
Several witnesses will be examined, and it
is expected that some additional light will be
thrown on somewhat mysterious case.
