HOTELS CROWDED.
Rooms at a Premium in This
City Last Night.

It's an i'll blizzard which doesn't do the
hotel keeper good. Yesterday and last
nights storm was bushelfuls of blessings
in disguise for Jersey City hotels. Never
since the day of 1.-The blizzard has there
been such beezness. At half-past ten
o'clock the Hotel Washington hadn't a
bed in the house; that means they had,
but none to let People from every part
of the State registered, preferring to stay
in Jersey City than go to New York
At Taylor's Hotel it was the same
thing There the Lincoln Association din
ner was being held and at its close many
of the guests took rooms, and at mid
night, although there were many belated
travellers, bed couldn't be procured. In
that hotel many doubled up, and Mr.;
Harry Reed, fertile of idea, thought OF
letting out the billiard tables at the usual
rate per hour
The Imperial Hotel had its rooms all
filled up at very early hour, and John
Glenn was cudgeling his brains to know
what to do to oblge his customers.
You needn't be particular about a
room for me- said one wag consolingly,
"Ill sleep in your wine room"
Not on your life,' was the sharp reply
But there are ways and ways, and some
slept on chairs and some on tables, and
SO both patrons and host were satisfied.

HAPPY SCHOOL CHILDREN
The III Wind Blows Them Good
in the Shape of a Holiday
Condition of Schools.

The heavy fall of snow has all but sue
ceeded in closing school sessions in this
city today. School No. 8, on Brunswick
street, opened on time this morning and
the attendance was surprisingly large.
Sessions were held all day. High School
is closed, but will be opened tomorrow.
School No. IA, on Union street, was opened
until noontime and the pupils were forced
to go home because of the lack of heat
in the rooms. No. 6 School was also open
ed all day. The attendances were quite
large in all cases and there were plenty
of teachers on hand to look atter the
scholars.
No. Is called this morning at nine
o o'clock. There were five teachers present
in No. Is, and four in No. II primary,
which now occupies the assembly room
of No. Is. Shortly after school had called
ard before the pupils had time to barely
get through the opening exercises, there
was resounding explosion, followed by
a rush Of steam which threw the few
children who had braved the storm into
a state of confusion and frightened the
teachers Upon investigation the noise
proved to be caused by the bursting of
the steam pipes, which, though the steam
has been turned on during the entire cold
wave were unable to stand the extra
pressure, and school was dismissed.

and went to the hotels, or sought the
shelter of some saloon where they spent
the night around the stove.
The suffering among the poor was ter
rible. Coal could not be had at most OF
the small dealers. A number of narrow
escapes from death IN the snow were re-
ported.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS ALARMED
News Editorial Saturday
Wakens Interest in the
Vital Question.

The resignation of Miss Wight as teach
er of English in High School has re-
vived the question of the low pay given
Jersey City teachers. The Board of Ed
ucation and schools officials are becoming
alarmed. The editorial in 'The Jersey

ton ELECTED many comments.
Miss Katharyn Speir, who last year left
High School to accept a position in New
York, was seen this morning by a
News" reporter, and was asked her rea-
sons for leaving. She said
Il taught in the Jersey City High
School great many years, but the sal

one month was appointed to the Girls
High School in Twelfth street,

RESULT OF FIRE.
Fireman Nugent in Danger
GUS Condition Due
to Cold.
SCHOOL NO. 20 Quilted.
Camera Works Were Saved
Two Houses Partially
Burned.

The damage done at the big fire in
Greenville yesterday when School No. 20
was completely destroyed, was not SO
great as was first reported. The old
school and annex have been totally de-
stroyed, but the adjoining factories We're
untouched. The firemen, in spite Of
overwhelming odds, worked bravely in the
face of the biting wind and succeeded in
saving the adjoining houses from total
destruction Not until almost five o'clock
was the fire put out, and by that time the
firemen were thoroughly exhausted. Had
1t not been for the kindness of the resi-
dents who supplied the men with stimu-
lants there would undoubtedly have been
more casualties.
Chief Hogan, who was taken from the
burning building in an exhausted condi-
tion, is recovering.
Patrolman John Dunn, of the Ocean
avenue station, is in bad way. He has
been suffering from a severe attack of
rheumatism and went to the fire in the
afternoon. After working about for a
couple of hours, he became almost ex-
hausted and started for the station
house. While walking through lot, he
became so weak that he was unable to go
ton house by several citizens.
Thomas Nugent, of No. Engine, who
was overcome by the cold, is confined to
his home in Orient avenue in serious
condition. Both his legs are badly frost
bitten and it was reported this morning
that they would probably have to
be amputated. If the operation
becomes necessary Mr.. Nugents life
will be in serious danger.

POSSIBLE WATER FAMINE
Engineer Van Keuren Warns
Householders Not to
Leave Faucets
Running.

Some fear is entertained that there Will
be a water famine unless people stop
leaving faucets turned on day and night.
Yesterday Chief Engineer Charles A. Van
Keuren went to Belleville in response to
a call from the pumping station superln-
tendent. 1t had been discovered that the
water in the reservoirs had fallen at
the rate of one foot and a half day.
The East Jersey Water Company was at
once notified of the alarming condition
of affairs, but the of1cials replied that
they were delivering water as fast as
possible This morning Engineer Van
Keuren made the following announce
ment:-
1.-THE supply of water at Belleville is
diminishing rapidly, and famine is not
improbable if the waste of water con-
tinues. Some of our pipes are frozen and
the supply is reduced for that reason. To
make matters worse people are leaving
their faucets turned on so that pipes will
not freeze. The result is that we are
consuming about 100000 gallons more
water than we should. The drain upon
the reservoirs must be stopped and the
only way itecan be accomplished Is Dy
people not wasting water. Pipes Will not
freeze now, and l hope the waste OF
water will cease. Some idea of the
quantity being wasted may be gathered
when it is known that in many sections
people living on fats above the second
floor have not had any water since the
storm set in. That has of course caused
suffering and Inconvenience. Just as soon
as the waste of water ceases the supply
will pick up again. 1t will be very dan
gerous for the city to allow the reservoirs
to get low. I hope it will not be neces-
sary to make another appeal to the pub
lic.''
E. H. Hoff. of No. 2SS Fourth street,
sent a letter to the Mayor complaining
that occupants of the fat have had no
water above the second floor for five
days.
The letter was forwarded to the Street
and Water Board.
