A number of years ago, Mr.. Clarke
met with very unfortunate accident
at the Rich ice house in Farmingdale.
In attempting to slip belt on pulley
his arm was drawn into the rapidly
revolving wheel and instantly torn
from the body. 1t was a terrible shock
and his health was much impaired.
He was a genial old gentleman and
was respected by all. His wife and two

fire Department Will Probably Be Recon.
structed.

Chief Engineer Patterson is of the
opinion that plans for the reconstruc-
ton of the fire department will not be
carried out until next spring. The
hydrant service is now available in
ease of fire, and although no hose com
panies with specifically defined duties,
have been formed, the chief will see to
il that there is no lack of proper APP
paratus at hand to be used as the oc-
casion demands. The pressure on
Loudon Hill. the farthest point distant
from the main reservoirs in the city is
quite a good deal more than was ex-
pected. while on the upper levels Of
Middle street the pressure falls a little
below the average.
The city government of 80 will have
the matter of reconstruction to attend
to. and il is probable that it will re-
ceive early attention. Chief Patterson
suggests that there be at least four
hose companies, one at the North End,
an available site for the house being
on the corner of North and Second
streets; in the city proper the old city
hall would be a suitable place for Il
central fire station, and on Loudon Hill
there are numerous sites for the house
that is needed there.

OUR VICTORY.
The Story Of GARDENERS Triumph and Ccny's
Waterloo.

At the beginning of the season the
Gardiner High school foot ball team
was defeated by Cony High of Angus
ia in the latter's back yard. Yester-
day, Gardiner ran up against this same
team-her mortal enemy in all athletic
sports-and as the kid put it, She
didn't do thing to EN-" The final
score was IL to 0, and the Gardiner
public went wild with joy. 1t isn't
every day in the year that the Cony's
are defeated and when team does
them by good straight foot ball, the
Gardiner people are wont to allow that
nothing is too good for her boys.
So the triumphant lads and their fol-
lowers marched down the Causeway
and up Water street. All along the
way they were given the glad hand
The clerks forgot their customers and
men who by the requirements of bust
ness have not thought of a foot bail
game for years, threw off their cares
and found themselves joining in the
shouts of triumph
Yes, Cony met her Waterloo.
And Gardiner came off the battle field
victorious. The heralded Cony vic
tory had been turned into a defeat.
And this is how it was done.
Gardiner won the toss and took the
south goal. Russell kicked off to Gar
diners 5-yard line. Lawton was we'll
back and he caught the ball fairly
BY the best of interference he was en-
abled to advance it Is yards. Babb was
entrusted with the pigskin and he took
it round left end and reached the mid
die of the field before he succumbed to
the embrace of a Cony giant.
Hunt was then told to try the fam
Gus guards back" play that has in
former years enabled Pennsylvania to
win most of her victories. He was
taken back from the line and then the
play was worked to perfection. Cony
saw the cyclone of humanity sweeping
towards her goal. She braced herself
and met the avalanche fairly but it

down Gardiner had gained 20 yards and
still had few tricks up her sleeve.
Cony expected another guards back
