Engineer Speaks for Contractor of the Pro-
posed Rockaway Watershed.
Speaking of Contractor Flynn on Mon
day, Engineer Kennedy of Jersey City
said work on the water contracts would
begin as soon as these documents were
signed. It is intended to draw from the
Rockaway watershed, near Boonton. and
conduct the water through steel pipe
twenty-four miles to the emptying reser-
voir in Jersey City. There will be no
pumping, as the force of gravity will
give the necessary pressure.
1t is proposed TO tunnel the Hook and
Watching Mountains. The reservoir OF
masonry will be at Boonton 1t will be
1877 feet deep, 5000 feet wide, and will
extend up the Rockaway river for three
miles. The capacity will be 100000
gallons.
Engineer Kennedy said it was expected
1900 men would be put to work. 1t is
not the purpose of the contractor to draw
water from the Passaic.

Excise matters did not absorb much
interest Wednesday night. At 7.5O
o'clock CHRONICLE reporter assembled to
the Aldermanic floor of the Savings
Bank building and gazed admiringly at
the brilliantly lighted but empty Council
chamber. Clerk Stilwell of the Excise
Board sat in his Office busily engaged in
abstracting wisdom from a volume OF
legal lore. On being asked if the board
expected rush of business, he replied
there was no such expectation. He pre-
dicttd a short session-in which he
proved himself a prophet compared to
whom the weather clerk is base imita-
ton. A 8 05 Chairman d. F. Sturgis ap-
peared, and at $50 without undue pomp
called the meeting to order. Present
beside Mr.. Sturgis and Clerk Stilwell--
two reporters, and two or three persons
who, for reasons sufficient unto them
selves, remained in the rear rooms. The
president directed the clerk to read the
minutes of the previous meeting, after
which the application of M. Lewis Brewer
"to keep an inn or tavern" at the Farm
er's Hotel, on Market street-which ap-
plication had sixteen signatures-was
laid over for one month. No further
business could be transacted in the alb
sence of the two other members of the
board, Messrs Charles McCollum and
DR.. Norman Fox, and Mr.. Sturgis de-
clared the meeting adjourned. The time
from the opening to the close of the meet
ing was exactly four minutes.

The Leader, published at Spring Valley,
N. Y, said of Morristown's Methodist
divine last week; "Rev. T. l. Coultas,
d. D., of Morristown, N. j., who. leo
tured in the M. E. Church on Tuesday
evening, charmed his hearers with his in
teresting description of scenes among the
Alps and in Sunny Italy. DR.. Coultas is
certainly gifted orator, his language is
the best, his manner very pleasing and
his descriptive power SO great that every
scene referred to stood out vividly before
the audience. Dr. Coultas's lecture fur-
nistes additional evidence that DR.. Gilbert
has secured for the Excelsior Lecture
Course the best talent obtainable." The
foregoing shows that DR.. Coultas Is APP
preciated on the lecture platform as well
as in the pulpit, and that he is interesting
alike at home and abroad.
