How a Colorado Cemetery St,

How a Colorado Cemetery Started.
'The graveyard in Georgetown, Col,
was started" explained Colorado poll
tician, "by burying a man who was
lynched. He was a bad character. and
made himself very disagreeable in many
ways. Finally he shot saloon keeper
there, and the boys, supposing that the
saloon keeper was dead, organized a
lynch court and executed him in very
short order. After they returned from
their lynching bee the saloon keeper
showed some signs of life. By the most
careful kind of nursing he recovered
from his injury. The boys then saw
that they had made a mistake; that n
life should not be taken except in re-
turn for a life, and they raised quite
large sum of money and sent it to the
fellows parents. Though the body was
first planted in a gully, twas afterward
taken up and properly inferred in what
is now Georgetown's leading cemetery.
The saloon man always kept the grave
green. "-Washingt Star.

Third-The reservoir on Bergen Hill
should be- enlarged and completed ac-
cording to the original plans, no matter
what system of supply is to be eventually
adopted. This done, there can be main
tanned a supply of water in the two reser-
voirs that viii avoid the necessity OF
maintaining. for emergency purposes, the
pumping works at Belleville.
Fourth submit the question whether
the High Service pumping station on Ser
gen Hill cannot be at once dispensed
with. If a main across the meadows is
of sufficient strength, the water pipes OF
Jersey City. which require high service,
can be directly connected with that main,
n the pressure at Belleville is sufficient
to carry the water to any required height
in Jersey City.
1t matters not how small the city may
be running behind in the water account,
the future accumulation of debt must
cease, and provisions at once be made to
meet any deficiency that now exists. Due
retrenchment with regard to running ex-
penses must be exercised, unessential Of
fees abolished, and only those clerks
charged to the water department who are
entitled to draw pay from the water ac-
count. To make the water department
self-sustaining should be the first care of
those in charge of the same. 1t can be
done, and / shall exert ali my power and
energy in bringing about the desired re-
suit.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD HOGS, Mayor.

In the First Regiment there was a
marked increase of patriotic fervor over
the prospect of their early removal to

Governor Voorhees,, who is making

Every case is examined at once. and he
is quick to act when circumstances show
that the men or boys are unfit for service

WEST SIDE TROLLEY.
Jackson Avenue Line May
Be Running By the Fall
Of the Year.

The Jackson avenu trolley project has
suddenly stopped on its downward course,
and those who were of the opinion that
the matter had SUM out of sight, will
no doubt have their hopes buoyed up
when they learn that the Traction Com
pany will probably take hold of the mat
ter by the middle of Tune. Like many
other movements of a similar nature, the
proposed opening of Jackson avenue, to
be followed by a trolley road through
that thoroughfare, was pushed for all
there was in it for a while by the Green
Vile property owners. But finally they
struck a snag, and this was in the shape
of money, to open the street. Talking
and doing any amount of planning was
ali right enough, but when it came down
to the fine point, an appeal was made to
the Traction Company for help. A dozen
different plans were hurled at the COM
pany, all at one time. by many different
citizens. Some wanted the Traction
Company to hand over thousands of dol
lars toward paying the expense of open
ing that thoroughfare, other wanted the
compan to pay for opening the street,
and then pay for the improvements which
would naturally follow. If this latter
plan was carried out, those who owned
property on the line would escape the
assessments which they would otherwise
have to pay for improvements.
Some said tina the Traction Company
had better facilities for opening and inn
proving a street than many contractors,
and that it could be don much quicker,
and at a much less expense, If that
proposition was agreed to. All these
plans which were carefully matured by
the property owners had a large bucket
of ice water thrown on them by the Trac-
tion Company some time ago, when the
committee of Greenvilleites were inform
ed that no action had been taken on the
Jackson avenue matter, and it was not
known when the project would be con-
sidered.
When this news reached the C~eleryville
people, they came to the conclusion that
the Traction Company would do nothing
more in regard to the trolley line.
will never call on the Traction Company
again." said one property owner; "and if
the company wants to push the matter
why their representative will have to
| whole business and hav decided to waste
no more of our good time on the matter"
The Greenville people were greatly sur
prised to hear that the committee made
| another call on the Traction Company.
Monday afternoon, for the purpose Of
learning whether the matter had been
dropped or not; after threatening not to
bother with this movement any more
Mr.. David Young told the committee that
he thought the Jackson avenue trolley
line would become a reality, but that it
! would require time to perfect the plans.
The committee was informed that the de-
lay in closing the negotiations between
the Consolidated Traction Company and
the North Jersey Street Railway Conn
pany, to which the road was leased a
/ short time ago, had also delayed the
jackson aveune matter: Mr.. Young said
| that he was very much In favor of the
| trolley line on the west side, and gave
the committeeman much encouragement.
