SERGEANT ToRMEY DEAD.
Faithful Police OEicer Succumbed
to Bright's Disease.

Sergeant Thomas J. Tormey, who for
more than twenty years served the citi-
zens of Jersey City faithfully, died this
morning at his home, No. 81 Virginia ave-
nue., from dropsy, brought on by an at
tack of Bright's disease. For almost a
year Sergeant Tormey was too i'll to per-
form his police duties, but he attempted
to work on several occasions. For the
past five months he was confined to his
home.
When the present. Democratic Police
Board assumed control, Sergeant Tormey
was among those shifted. He was trans
ferred from the Ocean avenue station to
the Communipaw avenue station, under
Captain Charles Cox. At this station he
did not serve one day.
Thomas Tormey was appointed in 1878
by Democratic Board. Ten years later
he was promoted to the work of Sergeant.
He has done duty in almost every pre-
cinct in the city. At a recent meeting of
the Police Board, Tormey was among a
number of policemen ordered before the
Examining Board. He doubtless would
have been retired on half pay. He was
forty-three years old and he leaves a
widow and a young son.
The Police Mutual Aid Society will look
of police including the platoon OF the
Communipaw avenue station to which
Sergeant Tormey belonged, will act as an
escort at the funeral

VOTE FOR WATER CONTRACT
German-American Club Tells
the Advantages of the
Supply.

Chairman L. Deutschberger, of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the First Independ-
ent German-A1nerican Democratic Club of
Jersey City, has issued the following de-
claration about the water election, which
will be held February 13, 1900.-
First Independent German American
Democratic Club of Jersey City to the
German-American Citizens.
"In consideration of the Importance of
the matter which will be laid before the
public for their decision on February 1S,
it is necessary to say few words in eX-
PLANTATION of the water question.
For many years the city has suffered
from the unhealthy Passaic water. which
has caused so much sickness among the
population, and has driven many families
BILE in renting their houses and apart
ments. Such was the case until the
Democratic Street and Water Board took
the matter in hand and made a contract
with the East Jersey Water Company 10
deliver healthy water for the people OF
the city.
This was not sufficient. 1t was neces-
sary for the city to have its own water
supply TO relieve the citizens OF the heaYy
water tax. Under an act passed by Tie
Legislature a contract was made with
Flynn to build a plant capable of sup
plying SO, 100000 or 70O00,000 gallons OF
pure water daily, which plant at the OPP
ton of the authorities could be bought
'tThe Democratic Street and Water
Board preferred, as the better part of the
bargain to buy the 70,000,000 plant, but the
Finance Board and his Honor Ihe Mayor
refused to concur to the resolution.
Then resolution passed to buy the
80, 900 600 one, and the decision of the mat
ter was put in the hands of the citizens
to vote on.
''The water election will take ple.ce Feb
ruary 13, according to the proclama ton or
his Honor the Mayor, and the German
American citizens are requested to vote
in their own interest for the measure,
which is for the good of the city.
'It is necessary for the city TO own ITS
own water plant to relieve the citizens of
the heavy water tax which will continue
as long as the water delivery is in the
hands of a hungry syndicate.
EVERY German-A American citizen for his
own benefit should not neglect to go to
the polls February 13 and vote for the
measure.
aCirculars to this effect will be dis
tributed among 5000 German-Am merican
citizens before that day.

VICTIM OF BENEv0LENCE.
William Brooksbank Befriended q
Man Who Stole His Clothes.

William Brooksbank, of No. 8 Culver
avenue, is victim of misplaced conf
dence. He is mourning the loss of several
articles of wearing apparel, and two
watches, in all valued at $50 Alleged to
have been stolen by man who in time
of need was befriended by Mr.. Brooks
bank. At the Ocean avenue police sta
ton Mr.. Brooksbank, yesterday, stated
that the above mentioned articles had
been stolen from his house by William
Ferguson.
Furguson previously resided in New
York, but drifted to Jersey in search of
work, in some manner he became
acquainted with the Brooksbank family,
which sympathized with him in his mis-
fortune and offering him home until he
could obtain employment. He was well
treated and made himself generally use
full about the house.
A member of the family discovered the
loss of the wearing apparel and watches,
Sunday morning. Suspicion Immediately
fell upon Ferguson, and an effort was
made to find him, but he had fed to parts
unknown.
The police have learned that he has
relatives in New York where they expect
to locate him.
