During the winter of 1897 Mr..
James Reed, one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants of Clay, Clay
Co., w. Va, struck his leg against a
cake of ice in such a manner as to
bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him so bad
ly that he could hot walk without
the aid of crutcEes. He was treated
by physicians, also used several kinds
of liniment and two and a half gal
Ions of whisky in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he be-
gan using Chamberlain Pain Palm.
This brought almost a complete cure
IN weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated. /.

RAMAPO JOB.

The following letter has been sent TO each can
dldate for Alderman in the different boroughs or
this city by Chairman F. r. L. Gould or the city
club Campaign Committee.
Ny Dear Sir There Is imminent danger that a
renewed effort will be made to force the proposed
contract with the Ramnpo Water Company upon
the elty-a contract calling for the payment 10 the
company OF the enormous sum or NoNhWW year
for forty years This sum represents the interest
on capital expenditure OF about SljoWmWo on
the present basis OF bond issues and such outlay
would Ice sufficient TO bring supply from one Of
the great lakes adequate TO the city's consumption

II is therefore matter of vital necessity that
voters should be Informed OF the attitude upon this

said that plan contemplated hy the Board OF

roads and highways that were planned before Jan
nary. 1898 and would mean the confscaion OF
property Of many Of the residents in the borough.
John C. Hertlo one Of the Commissioners Of Ac-
counts was asked whether this work had not
been concentrated largely contracts given for
the Borough ~ The Bronx Re answered afirma-
lively and said that he had found much fauIt with
the work done there by the contractors under the
Department Of Highways and had so reported 10
tho Mayor Quoting from some OF these reports
Mr. Moss showed that in many instances work mad
been mperfectly done by contractors. and that the
eneci6cations had not been adhered 10 in the ma
ferials used The chief engineer Of the Borough Of
The Bronx was also criticised in the reports for
falling TO inspect the work properly.
SHOWN BY THE CAMERA.
Photographs OF this Indifferent work were also
produced one Of the reports read by Mr. Moss
stated that violation Of the specifications by con-
tractors on public work was the rule IN The Bronx
rather than the exception. In All, tlo "'lh u ''-
tvfhree contracts was strongly criticised In the re-
ports written to the Mayor by Mr. Hertle In soma
cases the request was made that the final payments
be withheld but the Corporation Counsel advised
that I'm the absence OF fraud the city should pay
the bills after being certified by the Highway Com
missioner. Mr. Herfle also wrote that If inspectors
reported adversely on bad work they were trans
ferrcd to inferior places through the influence Of
an association Of contractors.
All these reports identified and placed on
record. Mr. Moss also made public a suggestion
written by Mr.. Ilorte. to the Mayor, that In view
Of the asphalt controversy a certain asphalt mine
IN South America should be investigated. Mr. Her
tie said he knew who owned the mine. but he de-
cned TO mpart the mans name to the committee
on the ground that he did not propose to make
known the means whereby the monopoly might pre-
vent the city from getting the mine.
