The Plank Road Steal.

Mr.. Frank Kalisch is quite frank as 10
the effect of a victory for the Newark
truckmen in their fight to steal the Plank
Road from its legitimate owners. He IS
the counsel of the trucking combination
and. in that capacity. he is already
threatening indictment against the Hud-
son County Board of Freeholders.
In an interview in the Newark Even
ing News of yesterday, a reporter spoke
to him regarding the opposition in this
county to saddling the taxpayers with the
expense of maintaining a road which was
of no use or advantage to them. The re-
porter suggested that the Hudson Free
holders might refuse to assume charge OF
the road. Mr.. Kalisch coolly replied

Freeholders would be liable to 1nulct-

This will be an important pointer for the
Hudson officials. Mr.. Kalisch and his
crowd of road-agents are determined to
have their a no matter what Hudson
wants and bulldozing methods of all
sorts, including criminal prosecution, are
to be adopted to ride rough shod over our
taxpayers rights.
Certainly things ave come to a pretty
pass IL we may not judge what roads and
bridges we will maintain in our own
county, but must submit to dictation by
our neighhors of Essex, who already profit
by our liberality in road building and
street paving, putting us to an nnual ex-
pense of many thousands of dollars,
occupying our ~thoroughfares, obstructing
our traffic, and adding to the expense of
keeping our streets clean.
II there are actually going to be any
legal proceedings on his Plank Road
question, we call upon our Freeholders
to take a hand in them, instructing the
lawyers of the county to ~strenuously
oppose this rare scheme of plumber.

Died OF PASSAIC WATER.
Newark's Little Trial Of 1t Killed
Three children-- Others
Especial to .The Jersey city News.p..

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey city News.r1
NEWARK, March /, 1s99.-Three chill
dren have died of d~ysentery within a few
days in this city, and in each case there
is reason to believe that the sickness was
caused by Passaic water, pumped into
the reservoirs during the blizzard.
There are, besides, a number of cases
of severe illness among children which
Joseph Wickham, three months old, son
of Mr.. and Mis-. Alexander Wickham, of
No. 107 Belleville avenue, died last Sun
day of dysentery, after drinking Passaic
water mixed with milk.
The child was buried Monday. An
other son of Mr. Wickham's Is sick, pre-
sumably from the same cause, and is not
expected to survive. Both children were
taken i'll on February %, n the symp-
toms in each case were Identical.
The children, after drinking the water,
could not retain anything on their stom-
achs. They were seized with fits of vom-
ting so severe that they almost went into
commissions. DR.. Corwin, who attended
the children, decided the cause of their
sickness was the river water given tic
them to drink.
Mrs. wickham said Yesterday that she
had given the child that died some milk
which she had mixed with water. She did
not suspect the purity of the water.
The surviving child had also been given
some of the milk and water. Both be-
came sick the same night. DR.. Corwin. in
the death certificate, CAV the cause as
dysentery, but in parenthesis he wrote on
the document: "Aqueduct water"
Frank Brentner, the four-months-old
child of Joseph Brentner, died from dysen-
terry, deemed to nave been brought on by
bad water, and was buried this morning,
Another child of Mr.. Brentner's is very
sick, possibly from the same cause.
These children were taken sick about a
week age. They had been given food with
which river water was mixed.
Alexander Neufnann, of No. A Wake
man avenue, attributes the death of his
ten-months' old son on February % te
river water. He has another boy, two
years DID, sick from the same cause.
Both children were given milk and water
mixed together. The vomiting symptoms
were present in their cases also. 1t con-
tinued, and gradually weakened the
heart. Both of Mr.. Neumann's children
were k sick or the same day. Very
little hope is entertained for the recover
of the one that is still living.

TRENTON, March 1, 1S99.-Notwith-
standing the fact that yesterday was the
busiest day of the session, several COM
mittees found time to give the friends and
foes of measures hearings. The House
Committee on Miscellaneous Business
made attempts to give a hearing on Bill
ly" Thompson's Double Bar BILL" and
both were dismal failures. Although
every session brings a raft of remon-
~strances ''numerously signed" against the
passage of the measure, not more than a
hearing. Job 8. Hams of Mickelton,
Gloucester county, spoke against the meas
ure. He said he represented many citi-
zens of his county, who were greatly ops
posed to the bill. He thought Thompson
was entitled to much credit for what he
had lone for Gloucester with Washington
Park.
At the afternoon hearing there were
even less present and only one speaker.
He was Fred A. Rex, and he spoke in fa-
vor of the bill. HIS argument was to the
effect that Thompson lar invested large
sums of money in the park and ought not
to be driven out as he certainly would PC
