for some other reason they failed to re-
wise and correct last falls registry, as
required by law, and instead of copying
the names they simply registered the

in persons About 400 names are on last

sive campaign.

Throughout the
County.
TWO SMALL PARADEs
Ball, Lectures, Plays and
Banquets in Cele-
bration.
TWO SMALL PARADES

Everywhere in this county yesterday
the green color met the eye. 1t required
no consultation with the calendar OF the
saints to enable even specimen OF the
white mans burden from our new terri
torial acquisitions, to know it was st.
Patrick's Day. Though not marked by
the great parades of the past in Jersey
City. it was nevertheless Loyalty observed
by patriotic Irishmen Every one of them
wore shamrock or a sprig of green of
some sort. From the home of every
loyal Irishman foated the emblem of the
Emerald Isle by the side Of the Stars and
Stripes.
AT all the resorts last night, SO far as
color is concerned, green predominated.
In some of the parish halls Irish dramas
were rendered and the parochial school
children took a leading part in the per-
formance. Every such performance was
witnessed by enthusiastic Irishmen in
such numbers as packed the halls in
which they were rendered as they have
never before been packed.
There was a small parade about noon
over in the Horseshoe by a contingent
that Joined others in Hoboken and march
ed to Weehawken. There was another
parade in Bayonne. The parade in the
northerly section was principally that of
Division No. 4, of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, Board of Erin, and was
marshalled by Patrick Farrell, assisted
by Col. P. Hogan Michael Mcmahon,
Francis Wynn and jeremiah Woods. The
paraders were greeted with the flag of
Ireland and the Stars and Stripes at
every turn.
AT Corcoran's windmill the workmen
turned out to cheer the paraders and the
Windmill Quartette sang the Wearing of
the Green.'' as the paraders passed the
factory. Mayor Kenny, of Cork
Row. reviewed the procession.
Arriving at Weehawken the paraders
took the ferryboat for New York along
with the Hoboken and Weemhawken con-
tingent. The Cable Clubhouse was pro-
fusely decorated with Irish and American
flags.
The parade in Bayonne of the Hudson
County's Irish-American Military organ
ization was not as large as was antici-
pated. The participants, however, made
an excellent showing.

SAMUEL PHILLIPS.

K
President Passaic Valley Mutual Protec-
tive Association.
Mr.. William D. Edwards, counsel for
tMr. Flynn, when shown the letter smiled
and said:-'sOf course it is every mans
privilege to go into court if he wishes.
The fact must not be lost sight of, how
ever, that Jersey City is today obtaining
her supply from practically the same
source that is offered by Mr.. Flynn. The
situation therefore is simply this: Two
men with one dipper each will not take
more water from stream than one man
with two dippers. Any suit instituted by
Phillips will be defended by Mr.. Flynn's
counsel
Assistant City Attorney j. Wahl Queen
when shown the Letter said
EVERY man has a right to apply to the
court for relief. There is no doubt in
my mind, however, that such an action as
is suggested can be safely combatte1.
This perspective suit does not concern the
city at ALL Mr.. Flynn has to walk the
floor on that point The city has a bond
in 100000 that the contract will be carried
out according to agreement. That is al
that MS necessary. Mr. Flynn's counsel
will be able to meet this contingency,
Think
The Passaic Valley Associations objec-
tons were recently tllreshed out at
meeting of the Board of Trade, when
President Myron J. Furst and Messrs. J.
A. Dear and A. J. Corcoran criticized the
Flynn proposal with regard to the diver
sion of the Rockaway River. At that
meeting it was mentioned that riparian
owners of the Rockaway River had not
made any complaint about the use of the
stream and those on the line of the Pas
sale River had only what one speaker
said "a vicarious interest" whatever that
may be.
A member of the Passaic Protective
Association in talking about the subject
said that it was in on captious spirit that
the association took exception to the
Flynn proposals, but they were simply
protecting themselves.

Dear Sir-On behalf of the riparian own
ers along the Passaic River, represented
by the Passaic River Valley Mutual Pro-
tectiYe Association, hereby notify you
that the diversion of water from the
Rockaway River, which is tributary OF
the Passaic, and it's conveyance by an

of the Passaic watershed, according TO
the terms of contract entered into be-
tween you and the Mayor and Aldermen
of Jersey City, February 26, 1899. mas
much as said withdrawal of water Will
diminish the flow of the Rockaway River
and consequently the dow of the Passalc
River at and below the confluence there
with of the Rockaway River, will be
violation of the right to enjoy the full
flow of the stream, which resides IN
every riparian owner on either of said
rivers below the proposed intake or point
at which such diversion of water is pro-
posed to be made; and that the destruc-
ton of the property of riparian owners
for your private emolument, without their
consent and without compensation, is un-
lawful and that the end in view is not
such a public use as will justify condem-
nation under the power of eminent do
main: also, that it has ben ujdicially de-
cided in this State that the Legislature
does not possess, and has pot attempted
to exercise, the power of authorizing the
diversion of water of running streams
upon condition of making compensation
by storing storm or flood water, and CIV
ing it out in dry times for the benefit of
the riparian owners, as compensation for
the diversion"
/ further notify you that if you at
tempt to carry out such contract by in
tercepting and diverting the waters OF
the Rockaway River we shall apply to
the Court of Chancery for an injunction
to restrain such action on your part
