The Trouble at CrotOn Dam

New York, April 16.-Six hundred
milii amen are under arms ready to
move today against the strikers at Gro.
ton Dam, and will reach Croton Dam
late this afternoon. Reports from the
scene of the trouble are that the strik.
ers declare they will reeist the soldiers.
They are armed with clubs, pistols and
csrbines and hold the hills near the
dam. The general belief is that hat.
lie will occur and that blood will be
shed. The strikers, it ia reported, have
threatened to blow up the old dam and
cut off New York's water supply. The
old Croton dam Ia not protected. Dyna-
mite placed beneath either end and dis
charged would send the vast volume Of
water laundering through the Croton
valley to the Hudson. This would
mean the cutting off Of 80 per cent. Of
New York's water supply.

and the notice IN the Gazstte's Wash.
ington letter stating that be "accompa.
MED the Friendship Fire Engine Com.
pany to New York to take part in the
celebration OF the centennial of the es.
adjustment Of the government" recalls
to my mind peculiar incident that in
my opinion is worth relating. Major
Ball and myself were the guests OF Mr.
and Mrs. A. B. Briggs. At Trinity
Church, think, there was to be special
service held 10 honor OF the direct de-
scendapts OF revolutionary heroes. Mr.
Briggs, Col. Ball and myself thought 10
attend these services. When We ar.
rived at the church we we're informe ed
that admission was by card only, and
We were minus these. The next
best thing for rs to do was to
claim the relationship of Major
Ball with the immortal Washington.
which We did, and when asked II we
had papers confirming our claim, we re-
piled We had nothing more than the
person of Major Ball, who not only
was the nearest blood relation living,
but was proud Of the fact that he was
the only one who resembled his rela-
tive in personal appearance. We sug-
gested that II be, the usher, had ever
seen the statues and paintings of Gen.
George Washington he could not fail to
recognize our claim, wbereupon he sur
veysd Major Ball from head to foot,
and immediately escorted ne to three
OF the most prominent seats In the
church, where Major Ball was the OBJ
served Of all observers.

The assertion that all the foreigners
who come to this country soon become
assimilated with the body ofthe native
born citizens, and are as true Americans
as any Of the latter, is what the repub'
licaps are fond of reiterating. But that
they are as insiucere 10 it as they are
10 everything else, is proved BY the
dread they are 10, lest the fondness
their administration has for the Britisb
shall deprive them of the Irish and
German vote at next falls election.
Were it not for that, there is little
doubt that the reported secret alliance
between Great Britain and the United
States would have been made public
long AGO.
