ANOTHER DOG CASE.
This Time He and His Master Have
the Best OF the Case.

Another dog case occupied the atten-
ton of Police Justice Potts in the Second
Criminal Court this morning. About a
week ago the parents of six-year-old
Theresa Owen, of No. SIG Grand street,
complained that the child had been bit
ten in the lip by Rover splendid big
New Foundland dog belonging to Chas.
Anderson, of No. 572 Grand street. Mr..
Owen demanded that the dog be shot and
Justice Potts ordered that the dog be pro-
duced for the purpose of being handed
over to the police.
Mr.. Anderson refused to obey the or
der of the Court and was summoned be-
fore the Court this morning to answer
the charge of violating the city ordl-
nance providing a penalty for disobedi-
ence of such an order. The child ana
her parents were in court.
They were unable to prove that the dog
Rover bit the child. The latter had a
mark on her lip but it was intimated
that the child was bitten, if at all, by
dog which belonged to her father
Mr.. Anderson claimed that the Owens
had said something about the child be-
ing bitten by their dog before the incl
dent which brought about the present
trouble occurred. Witnesses testified that
the dog was of a playful and docile ma
ture and had been regarded for more than
a year as the principal playfellow OF the
children of the neighborhood, and 1t was
acknowledged that at the time the girl
was said to have been bitten she had her
arms around the dogs neck. A photo-
graph was shown of the dog with Mr.
Anderson's $ little chi1d's arms around ITS
neck, to show the docility of the animal
The case against Mr.. Anderson was dis
missed. The children are again caress-
ing their favorite old playfellow.

LOCATION OF DAM
Engineer Ferris To Confer
With Contractors Next
Week and Settle
Question.
OFFICIAL. FRICTION ENDED
AS Salaries Come Out of
Water Account F'inan-
ciers Have No Concur
ring Power.

The Board of Finance yesterday after
noon returned to the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners the resolution ap-
pointing Garwood Ferris, engineer;
James P. H. Hall and H. H. Bowly, as
sistant engineers, and fixing their sal
aries at $4,000 and $500 per annum, for
the reason that, since the salaries will
be paid out of the water account, the
Board of Finance has no concurring
power.
This action terminates the official frlc-
tion over the matter The Mayor, it Will
be remembered, vetoed these appoint
ments and few days ago the Street and
Water Board passed the resolution over
the veto. When the resolution fixing the
salaries came before the Finance Board
a discussion arose as to the jurisdiction
of the two city Boards over the contract
in the event of the appointment OF the
engineers and a more serious question
considered was the location of the big
dam at Boonton. Mayor Hoos, Corpora
ton Counsel McDermott and Mr.. w. d.
Edwards, representing the Flynn people,
took part in the conference between both
Boards.
The Street and Water Commissioners
thought that the delay in appointing the
engineers meant hampering the contrac-
tors and preventing the progress of the
work.
Appoint your engineers and let them
confer with us so that we can go ahead,
said the representatives of P. H. Flynn,
and the Street and Water Board took
the initiative by repassing the resolution
over the Mayors veto. The Board of
Finance, in effect, said:-"Go ahead, we
have no business to concur or non-con-
cur" and the incident is now closed so
far as the appointments go.
Mr.. Ferris will have conference with
the contractors next week and settle the
location of the dam. Both sides are
anxious to have the reservoir built as
perfect as possible and no hitch is ex-
pected over the preparatory work. The
citys interests are in the hands of COM
petent men, who will see to it that the
contract is carried out to the letter.
Messrs Hall and Bowly will not take
hold at present, and therefore their sal
aries will not begin until they are ac-
tually performing their duties. Mr..
Hail. who is thoroughly conversant with
the practical side of the construction
work, will pay exclusive attention to the
building of the reservoir.

Prior to the meeting of the Board of

ference was held with delegation of
officials and citizens from Kearny, who
had grievance, and, as it turned out,
well founded one. They complained OF

works. which pays taxes on an assessed
valuation of $4,000. He also spoke OF
the Clark o. N. T. Thread Works ana

dustries are driven away it will be a
detriment not only to the town Dut 70

The schooner Robert II. Hind which
is her, on her maiden trip represents
IN her build, finish and rigging the very
latest in deep water vessels designed
especially for lumber carrying. Per
maps the most striking feature to catch
the eye, especially Of the salt water sail
or, is her rig. She is a four mastcd
schooner but on her foremost she has
one yard. This carries a square sail
below it, the lower end of the sail being
stayed on either side of the vessl. Above
the yard is "A three cornered sail called
"raffee," a style much used on the
Great Lakes, but still something of a
novelty on the ocean. 1t is made fast
at one corner near the top of the mast
and the lower edge fastens to the yard.
1t can be bent on either side of the
mast according as the wind favors. The
advantage of this combination of
square sail and raffee on the foremost
is said to be when the vessel is sailing
straight before the wind.
The Robert r. Hind was built by Hay
q Wright of Alameda and was launch -
ed May 18th this year. She is a sister
schooner of the James Rolfe, which is
now on her maiden trip from San Fran
cisco to San Pedro and is much like the
barkentine William Carson which is on
her maiden trip to Australia.
The Hind is built of Oregon pine, and
when inspected and surveyed was Civ
en- a rating of IA. She is 1853 feet over
all, ~ feet beam and has a depth of II
feet. She has a net measurement of 52C
tons. Her donkey engine is combined
with a condenser which provides fresh
water constantly for the boiler at q
minimum expenditure of fuel Both
/ bilge and main pumps can be run by
| the donkey engine. Water pipes run
along the decks on both sides so that
! l. 1. 4 l.,
| she can be washed down by steam pow
er. Water for all purposes is pumped
up SO that no draw buckets need he
used. She has a capstan aft fitted witt
cranks by which the sails can be easily
, handled.
Her cabin arrangements are commO
dious, and the fittings handsome. Tn,
after cabin is really commOdious sa
! loon. There are passenger accommOda
/ tons for six passengers.
/ Captain j. : Hellingsen is the mas
ter of the Hind. He sailed for six year!
on the Great Lakes and has been min,
years master on the Pacific.
Lying right alongside the Robert r
Hind is the ship Dashing Wave, Cap
tain Richard Lancaster These tw,
vessels bring together the newest anC
the Oldest in shipbuilding, The Dash
ing Wave is q years old, and is one o
the survivors of the old clipper ships
of the SOS. But when she was inspect
ed in Tacoma just before sailing on thi
trip her oak timbers We're found to b
as sound as when they We're framed
and the augur chips from the pitcl
pine planking smelt as fragrant ant
balsamc as when the planks We're frs
sawed, 80 years ago.
