CITY and BAYONNE WATER
M'Dermott Accepted Bergen
Point Figures and the
Case Was Settled.

The dispute between this city and Bay
onne over a long standing water bill was
settled today in the Supreme Court before
Justice Lippincott. The story of the dis
pute has been told several times.
This city claimed that Bayonne owed
SIS, 900 for water furnished up to the time
a contract was made in 1897 with the New
York and New Jersey Water Company.
Bayonne insisted that the amount was
only s5,73S.67. Corporation Counsel Allan
l.. McDermott represented Jersey City and
Corporation Attorney Benny. and Charles
L. Corbin appeared for Bayonne.
Water Purveyor Robert Coar testified
that the meter by which the water was
furnished to Bayonne was measured and
showed that the amount due was $4,000,
the amount claimed.
John Griffin, the water eompany's en-
gineer, produced figures showing the
quantity of water furnished by Jersey
City.
1t became evident that Jersey City had
charged for water furnished after the
new water contract had been made and
Mr.. McDermott agreed to accept the
Bayonne figures. A judgment was order
ed entered for Jersey City, for the SUM
of S. 73S ST.

WATER PLANT BEGUN.
Surveyors and Engineers
Now at Work. Finished
In Specified Time.

Mayor Hoos is still satisfied that the
water contract is pleasing the public. In
fact, absolutely no complaint has been
made to him and he has heard nothing of
certiorari proceedings of anything of that
sort. The Moyor does not believe a test
will be made of the legality of the con-
tract by anybody.
Contractor Flynn's surveyors are at
work and so are his engineers. Borings
are being made and a report will Doubt
less be made to the Street and Water
Commissioners of the work accomplished.
The report will show Just whore dams are
to be constructed and where mains are to
be laid to connect streams which are trib-
utary to the receiving reservoir at Old
Boonton. Every stage of the work is to
be carefully watched.
The Street and Water Commissioners
as a further protection to the city will
doubtless appoint inspectors to look over
the work that is to be done by Contractor
Flynn and his employees. Next week the
work on the contract will be well under
way.
No legal complications have arisen so
far and it looks as if every possible diff
Guilty had been provided for.
Unless something unforeseen happens,
Mr.. Flynn says he will complete the plant
within the specified time.

BOULEVARD BILL.
Gov. Voorhees, Approves the
Act For $4,000
Repairs.

When Governor Foster M. Voorhees,
came to town this morning for the meet
ing of the Court of Pardons, he sent
for County Collector Hugh Dugan, to talk
with him about the bill recently intro
duced in the Legislature by the Boule-
ward Commissioners, asking power for
Hudson county to raise $4,000 to repair
the Boulevard. The Governor wished to
know whether or not the amount was
really needed. Mr. Dugan told his
Excellency that the bill was good one
because the road needed repairs and
SEC, 600 would cover the cost.
But l don't want this sort of thing
to occur every year" said the Governor,
"and that must be understood
Having heard Mr.. Dugan, the Cover
nor said that when the bill came before
him he would sign it.

NEW YORK, March 4, 1Ss9.-District
Attorney Gardiner today denied the re-
port that Prof. Witthaus, the expert
chemist, had finished his analysis of the
viscera of Henry Barnet, and that he had
submitted his report. Col Gardiner said
he had conference with Prof. Wftthaus
yesterday and that the chemist stated he
had completed the examination of some
portions Of the intestines of Barnet, but
he did not say that he had discovered
traces of cyanide of mercury.
Prof. Witthaus, according to Col. Gar
diner, merely told him how far he had
progressed and asked him If he should
continue his Investigations. The District
Attorney told Prof. Witthaus that he
would write him formal letter some time
next week telling him just what was de-
sired.
Col Gardiner further stated that he did
not expect the report of Prof. Witthaus
until a week or so

lighted. Somerville Express, No. go, was
speeding into Jersey City last night when

and wagon suddenly darted onto the
track ahead of the engine.
The engineer saw the wagon and at
tempted to avoid a collision, but could
not The driver saw his danger and
urged his horse on with word and whip.
The animal baked, however, and stood
directly in the path of the locomotive.
The fiagmap, who had warned the
driver not to cross, yelled to the man to
jump for his life Instead of doing SO,
however he held on the lines.
The engine struck the front part of the
wagon and tore it to pieces, The driver
was thrown nearly 100 feet from the
wagon. The horse was cut to pieces.
The body of the driver was taken to

CRASH ON
THE RIVER
Ferryboat New Jerseys
Side Stove in By
Fruit Barges.
TWO PASSENGERS INJURED
Heavy Tide and Strong Cur
rent Drives Barges
Against the Boat.

collision between the Pennsylvania
Railroad ferryboat New Jersey and three
barges occurred at 1905 O'Clock, Just OUT
side of the slip at the foot of Exchange
place, used by the CortIandt street boats.
Two persons were injured.
Henry Pratt, the jeweler. of Washing
ton and Montgomery streets, had his
right leg badly injured by a piece OF
timber. Alfred Mazzaro of New York,
was pinned to the floor of the mems
cabin by heavy timbers. When he was
dragged out it was found that he was
suffering from a number of severe cuts
and bruises.
The New Jersey was entering the slip.
The three barges were being towed into
American Line, Pier C. Just as the
ferryboat was opposite the barges they
swung around with the tide and crashed
with terrible force against the side of the
New Jersey. The entire side of the mems
cabin was stove in by the collision. The
timbers and pieces of glass were thrown
about the cabin. The passengers were
panic stricken. They fed in wild com
fusion to the docks. The bargeS were
pulled away from the ferryboat and it
was pulled into the slip. When the
passengers recovered from their fright
they helped rescue Mazzara. MaEzara
and Mr.. Pratt were carried to the office
of Superintendent of Ferries Bloomberg.
where they were attended by DR.. McGill.
They were sent home as soon as their
wounds had been dressed. The New Jer-
fsey was sent to the dry dock for re-
pairs.
The three barges were the Stanley,
Commercial and Lehigh, all laden with
fruit, the Commercial being in the mid
die. The collision jammed the barges
together and the pressure on the CONNER
cial 1oosened her seams and she sank to
her decks. Those in the care of the
barges blamed the Captain of the ferry
boat saying that he did not allow enough
curve in entering to avoid the swift tide
on the other hand the ferryboat people
say the barge men were at fault because
they were in the regular course of the
boat.
An amusing incident took place after
the crash A shabbily dressed man hold
ing battered hat in his hand rushed up
to Captain Carroll. superintendent OF
ferries and exeitedly exclaimed
Just look at my hat, it is damaged"
Lucky for you that your head wasn't
in your hat calmly replied the Captain.
''But it was" shouted the other.
"Then,' replied Captain Carroll, leisure-
ly, 'it's equally lucky that your head
wasn't damaged. too
But want a hat to go to work." urged
the man.
go to the office and give your name
and address, said Mr.. Carroll and the
man with the hat rushed off.
The New Jersey is comparatively new
boat and cost about s150,OOo. The damage
done will mean about $1,000. A few
minutes after the accident she was towed
to Hoboken for repairs.

ALMSHOUSE INSPECTED.
Grand Jury Finds Infamous
Condition Of Affairs Will
Be No WhiteWash.

Following the exposure in the Board of
Freeholders on Thursday night of the dis
graceful condition of affairs existing at
the Almshouse, the Grand Jury went to
Snake Hill yesterday afternoon to visit
the institutions. 1t started from the
Court House at 1O:3O A. NJ. and returned
at $50 P NJ Three hours were devoted to
inspecting the Almshouse.
The Grand Juries agree that the condi-
ton of affairs as described at the Free
holders meeting was not exaggerated.
One of them said that he was shocked
when he saw the children clad in rags.
No humane father, he said, could help be-
ing shocked at their condition.
This particular Grand Juror said that a
thorough investigation will be made and
there will be no whitewashing. The Grand
Jury will meet again next Wednesday and
it is probable that a presentment will be
made to the court

TOOK PAINTERS LADDER AWAY.

Thomas Cunniff, of Hatch street, was
arrested few days ago on charges of
assault and battery and petit larceny,
preferred by George Trotter, of No. 40
Monticello avenue. He was arraigned in
the Second Criminal Court this morning.
Both complaints against him were dis
missed.
Trotter is a painter. He was painting
a house adjoining that of Cunniff and
found it necessary to trespass on Cum
niffs property. While he was on the
scaffold Cunniff took away the ladder and
Trotter was obliged to jump to the
ground. The two men engaged in a quar-
rel, but it was not proved that Cunnfn
struck Trotter.
Cunniff also disproved the charge of
netit larceny.

His VIII Probably Be the
First Petition Filed With
Secretary Murphy.

There was no meeting of the Democratic
County Committee last night. The time
for filing petitions for nominations expires
next Saturday afternoon at five o'clock.
Petitions must be in the hands Of Secre
tary Murphy by that time. A letter ad-
dressed to the Court House in care of the
Surrogate's office will reach him. Prob

that will be filed will be that of Mayor
Hoos
The Mayor said this morning that he
would probably be a candidate for re-
nomination Up to the present time the
Mayor has not said he would run for re-
election. His only reason for holding back
is that as soon as he declares himself he
proposes starting his campaign. On Tues
day next or possibly Wednesday the
Mayor will probably announce his cam
didacy
There are dozen organizations which
have never before taken an active part in
politics waiting to endorse Mayor Hoos
The members will not move until the
Mayor puts himself in the hands of his
friends.
1t is predicted that the Mayor will be re-
elected by the largest majority ever given
a Mayoralty nominee. Voters irrespective
of party are out for supporting the Mayor.
His administration, they say, has been ex-
actly what he promised-economical and
