LEAK IN A WATER MAIN.
A Serious Cave-in on . New York
ThOrOughfare

| New York, Aug. 12.-There is appre
hension among residents near Amster.
! dam Avenue and Ninety-eight Street
that a leak has formed In one of the sia
big water mains in the avenue. seri
Gus cave-in occurred just west Of the
avenue few days ago. and the excava-
ton discloses a large volum eof water
flowing westward, about ten feet below
the surface.
II this water does come from one of the
mains. there will be serious complca-
tions. To repair the leak it will be neces-
sary to tear up the four street car tracks
against which the residents have waged
war for many months. On account of
the solid construction of the underground
trolley tracks in;the center, such a task
would interrupt, traffic for weeks. and
entail immense loss to the city. One of
the most important arguments against
allowing four tracks in the avenue has
been the possibility of jus; such a con-
dition. 1t was also pointed out that the
close proximity OF tae mains and the elec-
trio conduit involved danger of leaks
forming through elec,rolysis.
A sewer manhole in Ninety-eighth
Street a short distance west of the ave-
nue.. sank last Thursday about four feet.
Men from the department of sewers and
water supply began work on it next day.
and yesterday had completed an excava-
tion about thirty feet long and twelve
feet wide. The foreman said the crown
of a 5-foot brick sewer had fallen in. The
sewer is twenty-five feet below the sur
face, and almost above 1t is 3S-inch wa-
ter main running to pumping station
near Columbus Avenue.
When the stream of water was first
reached II was mixed with sewage, out
soon began to run clear, possibly. the
foreman said. because II filtered through
the clay He was asked whether the va
ter came from the avenue mIins, in t.s
opinion.
81 do not know" he said, "but I hope
not. The six mains are each forty-eight
inches inside diameter and made Of one
and a half inch iron. OF course, If cne
of them had burs, the avenue wor.d have
been torn up.
Not enough electricity leaks from the
trolley conduit to be felt at the fire hy-
drants, and 1 do not believe there is
danger OF the mains deteriorating from
electrolysis. An iron pipe filled with
water forms an excellent conductor, and
an appreciable current escaping would
be easily noticed at-the hydrants. In this
respect the underground system is not
nearly so dangerous as the overhead troll
ley"
Thomas a. Fulton. chairman of the
peoples committee that has opposed the
railroad, said yesterday that he feared
one of the mains was leaking.
''Our committee, however, has never
made a statement 1t could not back up,
and we do not want to cry Wolf" with
out cause. The real trouble will soon
be laid bare and II our fears should be
well founded we will nave one Of our
strongest arguments proven

VOTING BY THE SOLDIERS.
Complications Arising in the New
Jersey Political Camps.

Newark. n. j., Aug. IA storm was
created in political circles today over the
discovery that the new election law pass
ed at the last session of the legislature
provides for the acceptance of the SOL
diers' vote from the field only, in time
of war"
The probability of an immediate cessa-
ton of hostilities means that no state OF
war will exist on election day and unless
the New Jersey regiments are discharg-
ed prior to the date it is estimated that
about 6GO0 voters would lose their right
of franchise.
In New jersey 5000 votes cast either
way might decide the State election in
asmuch as the net Republican plurality
in the State last fall was only l,25s.
For that reason the leaders, both Repup-
lican and Democratic, have been working
hard to secure the soldier vote, and have
already prepared the necessary blanks,
ready for forwarding where regiments
and regulars are stationed. In making
these preparations il was not assumed
that the war would cease before election,
but as soon as it became apparent tha'
IT would, a careful study of the law was
made. and the first section has caused the
politicians no end of worry.
Acting Gov voorhees, is much concern
ed over the Interpretation of the new
law. He is a candidate for the Repuoll-
can nomination for governor, and much
of his strength is in his great popularity
with the volunteers, whom he insisted on
having provided with all necessary equip
ments before permitting their removal
from the State camp at Sea Girt.
Gov. Voorhees, said he had not con-
sidered the law carefully until today, ana
he proposes to submit il at once to At
torney General Gray for judicial inter
probation. 1t was surely not the intent
of the law to deprive the soldier of his
right to vote said the governor, but
literally interpreted it might be so con-
strued, in the event of a declaration OF
peace and the only way TO remedy II
would be to receive the discharge of the
New Jersey regiments before election
day
The governor intimated that if their in
terpretations of the law were sustained
he would endeavor to secure the dis
charge of the New Jersey troops. None
of the Jerseymen in the volunteer service
have beeen sent to the front. The First
Regiment was sent to Camp Alger, the
Second to Tampa, the Third to Pompton
Lake, and the Fourth is still at Sea Girt.
As they have seen no fighting and will
hardly be permitted to participate In any,
1t is argued that the Jerseymen might as
well be home and a strong effort In that
direction is being made.
