The carcass was clear OF the water
when the rope near the tail slipped of
and the tail dropped into the water. The
weight on the other rope then became so
great that IL began 20 slip through the
hands OF those holding H. They were COM
PEELED TO let go or go overheard As soon
as the body struck the water II began to

THE STORIES ALL AGREE
When the steamer arrived IN the city
shortly after midnight the stories told
were about the same and the length OF
the monster was estimated at from Is To
SO feet.
The most careful and perhaps the most
trustworthy account was given by Prof.
c. II. Ellwocd. geologist. who lives in
Guelph, Ont. who was in one OF the life
boats that made a rope fast around the
carcass. :
'Do you know what clidastes is?" the
professor asked the reporter. "Well, that
Is exactly what the creature we saw last
night seemed 10 be. IL was about % feet
long, with a long tail. which tapered un-
Ill within about five feet OF the end. when
II broadened out and looked much like
whale.
THE creature weighed about 1000
pounds. Its head was perhaps four feet
long and triangular i'm shape. Its mouth
was very long and was armed with two
rows OF triangular white teeth as sharp
as those OF shark. but In shape more
like those of the sperm whale. Its body
was covered with a horny substance,
which was as much like the carapace OF
a terrapin as anything else Of which 1
know.
This horny substance was brown in
color and OF greenish tinge The belly OF
the creature, which l saw after the rope
slipped and the carcass was going down,
was cream white. It's eyes were round
like those OF fish and IL did not wink"

RAMAPO ~ THIS CAMPAIGN.
Letters From Both Odell and stanchneid to
the Merchants Association.

The Merchants Association OF the Gy or
New York is sending letters 90 all Of the can
didates for the Legislature. asking their position
on the Ramapo water matter. The association
has also written to the candidates Of both par
ties for Governor, The Republican candidate

MY DEAR SIR Your esteemed favor. under
date Of the Sth inst. was duly received. I in
formed Mr.. Corwine OF your association, dur
ing an interview which followed is receipt.
that I preferred to make my position known on
the question Of a water supply for New York
city first in a public speech. | made such a
statement at the reception recently given
by the Republican Club Of New York city.
This, by way Of explanation AZ TO why ! have
not answered your letter before.
You may recall that in that speech / stated
was not only In favor Of New York city owning
and controlling its own water supply but that
| would give my personal pledge that any
remedial Legislation necessary to bring about
this result would have M cordial and active
support. What direction this legislation should
take must depend, Of course; upon the obstacles
10 be overcome. My own idea Is. first. TO give
New York city the same full power and ant
thority that is possessed by every other munic-
ilality in the state 10 acquire anu cOnQeInn
water rights. Secondly. IL any action here
tofore taken by the Legislature shall be a bar 70
the granting Of such rights that, Of course,
must first be swept away. This would apply
10 the repeal Of the Ramapo or any other grant
that might be q hinderanoe TO the consum-
nation OF this much-desired result.
in short, | desire to ~relterate 70 you what
intended to be an absolute and unqualified
Endorsement OF the general plan TO give New
York city its own water supply, and also TO state
that when ! used the words 'reThedia! leg!s!a
ton | used them IN their fullest and utmost
meaning, and that Ia, that the rights OF the city
are paramount TO all other ind yidual or cor
porate rights not municipal.
Il trust this explanation will be satisfactory.
] have endeav ored TO make II as concise and
explicit as | know how. Yours very truly.
