WIND DOES BYRNE'S WORK
But Citizens Have a Bad
Time of 1t During the
Process.

The streets are almost in a fairly good
condition today The dirt therefrom is
piled up in open lots, the yards OF
property owners and in peoples clothes
A goodly portion of it is under pople's
eyelids and many of them are asking:-
Lord, how long, how long are we to
have dust thrown into our eyes?"
The wind was only blowing moderately.
minus the dirt is carried along with it,
it was comfortable wind, for the day
was bright and beautiful as any God ever
created. But a sand storm in the desert
of Sahara could hardly be more uncom-
Portable for an unfortunate caught in it
than for those who were obliged to be
on some of the principal thoroughfares
yesterday, especially Grand street.
The wind came in gusts. 1t seemed to
manifest its disgust for the condition of
the streets. It would swoop down here
and therein spots as it were-gather TO
its bosom a pile of dirt and scatter it
broadcast. 1t whirled up eddies of dirt
from the roadways and piled it against
the curbs, something after the manner of
the men of the late Colonel Waring's s
white duck brigade who went ahead OF
the wagons
If the wind were SO kind, people said it
was as little as those responsible for the
cleanliness of the streets could do to send
along the wagons and cart away the dirt
Some wondered why the streets were not
sprinkled.
The air was rendered dark at times
with huge clouds of dirt. The clouds
contained myriads of large fragments of
dirty paper. AT times certain portions of
the thoroughfares were made to look as
though a great fire was in progress and
huge volumes of coffee sack colored
smoke seemed belching from the roofs
of buildings in which smothered fires
were raging.
The dirt blinded trolley motormen and
truck drivers. The latter drove their
teams like intoxicated men and the for
mer had to tax every resource at their
command to avoid accident. Whole sec
tions of the sidewalks of Grand street in
the vicinity of the railway trestle looked
like the tan bark hippodrome track at

door of the new annex and made a COM

The interior of the stores was elabor-

BOARDS CONFER
Financiers and Street and
Water Commissioners
Discuss Water
Supervision.
COST OF INSPECTION
Mr.. Cone to Oversee the
Boonton Pipe Other Posts
to Be Filled.

The Boards of Finance and Street and
Water Commissioners with the Mayor
and Corporation Counsel are in confer
ence this afternoon discussing the very
important question of a complete and
thorough inspection of the work until its
completion.
Mr.. Garwood Ferris, consulting en-
gineer to the city, has made up a
statement showing the probable cost of
such inspection and he figures it will cost
about $4,000. This sum means inspectors
salaries, engineers expenses and the many
other details comprised under the COM
prehensive head of inspection. Mr.. Fer
ris suggests that this amount Should not
be taken out of the water account, but
should be raised by temporary loan bonds
and charged to the new water works. 1t
need not be issued all at once, but year
cost of the works are issued the $9O, 900
inspection bonds can be added to the
others to take up the temporary loan
bonds.
A secondary question to be considered
and one involved in the main question is
who shall be inspectors and how many
are needed?" 1t is of absolute necessity,
the engineers say, that a competent man
shall be appointed to examine the pipe to
be laid, it's material condition and so
forth. Mr.. John j. Cone, of this city,
is said to be the man for that position.
Then there will be other inspectors, ff-
teen in all, for the different branches of
the work, such as masonry, pipe laying
and so. forth, and for these appointments
there are at least fifty candidates.
These inspectors are to be approved by
the Consulting Engineer, Garwood Ferris,
and must be competent men. Among
those who are mentioned for the positions
are Elk Chief Engineer w. W. Ruggles,
ex-Street and Water Commissioner w. H.

said by one authority, 'is to cut no figure

Sergeant Wade and Treasurer
Stoeckels Dogs Had a
Bloody Battle.

One of the fiercest and bloodiest dog
fights that has ever been witnessed in
public took place last evening at Sum-
nit avenue and Mercer street, in the
presence of Sergeant Bernard Wade, Act
ing Captain of the Montgomery street
station: Treasurer G. Stoeckel of the s.
P. c. a., and Roundsman Frank McMa-
hon, besides a crowd of more than a
hundred men and boys, who were attract
ed to the scene by the howls of the mad
dened beasts
Treasurer Stoeckel possesses very fine
St. Bernard. The animals were out with
their owners on Summit avenue when
they caught sight of each other. A few
low growls and then a sudden rush. Legs
were seen flying in the air and the beasts
were locked with their teeth at each
others throat.
Sergeant Wade attempted to part the
dogs. He smashed a new silk umbrella
in his futile efforts Mr.. Stoeckel so
tried to part the dogs. He dubbed away.
but it was of no avail; Both dogs were
with delight at the sight of the ferocious
beasts clenched in deadly combat. Neither
beast would let go. They hung together
with death-like grips.
Finally Roundsman Mcmahon helped in
the clubbing game and the dogs We're
parted Both were sights Covered with
mud and blood, they skunk away to lick
their numerous wounds The Sergeant $
dogs ear was chewed up and its head was
a mass of cuts. The St. Bernard was pro-
tected by his long hair and was more for
tunate, although he did not escape ur1-
hurt He has cuts that will leave scars
for the rest of his life.
Mr.. Stoeckel is sorry that the dogs
fought, and says that in the future he will
kepe the beast locked up.
The Sergeant's dog has record. He
has licked a score of ours and shortly
before last nights battle, he started in
to lick dog belonging to Roundsman
McMahon. Sailor" the large grey
hound of Captain McKaig. was also pun
ished severely by Wade's dog, and cut
on the legs. He was lame for several
weeks.

AGAINST HOLIDAYS.
Twelfth Ward Socialists
Send a Protest to the
Board Of Education.

The Socialist Labor Party of this city
are unalterably opposed to more holidays
being granted for the teachers and school
children and when the schools of this city
of the working class can be but few
days the Socialists were indignant and
passed resolutions.
Those of the Twelfth Ward through its
Secretary, Fred. Gruennenger, sent the
following communication to the BOARD OF
Education last night
'sWhereas, Under prevailing economic
conditions the school days of the children
of the working class can be best few
before necessity drives them into the fac
tories and mills; and
Whereas, Attempts to increase vaca-
tions by institutihg new holidays are to
be deplored as lessening to q greater ex-
tent our childrens educational opportuni-
ties: and
'tWhereas, It is now proposed to close
the public schools of Jersey City during
what is called Holy Week, New York
City Board of Education having start
ed the innovation; therefore be it
Resolved. That it is our belief that the
teachers instructing our little ones are
engaged in holier and more exalted
work than when spending days or weeks
in devotional idleness.
Resolved, That all citizens and
parents interested are urged to join in
this protest against further curtailment of
the school time of their children"
The members looked at each other and
smiled when Clerk Wiseman had finished
reading it.
Filed snapped President Mulvaney
and the incident closed.

THAT n. c. LAW.
Militiamen Throughout the
State Protest Against
the Revision.

Members of the National Guard
throughout the State are protesting vig-
orously against the revised National
Guard Laws passed last March for 1900
The Objectionable features are those pro-
viding for a delinquency Court and
the failure to allow the Adjutants OF
regiments any pay for their horses.
To the first named provision, officers say
that it is very doubtful If the law is con-
stitutional The matter was referred to
the Judge-Advocate for his opinion,
which has not yet been received.
This court has the power to jail man
for failing to pay fines imposed upon him
for non-attendance, and divers other mat
ters of no import. The court is given
power to issue warrants for soldiers ar
rests and for the attachment of then
goods for the payment of said fines.
Il doubt seriously" said member ol
Colonel Smiths staff, 'if the act is con-
stitutional. The men subjected to such
treatment would most naturally rebel
The ultimate result would be a big fall
ing off in the National Guard and the
probable dissolution of some of the COM
panies. Men will not submit to being
officers are of the opinion that the act is
not essential to discipline
Il have discussed the matter with
prominent guardsmen. The concensuS oi
opinion seems to be that those responsible
for the framing of such objectionable pro
visions were ignorant OF the task they
undertook and the unsatisfactory results
that would naturally arise from such al
unjust measure.
Another matter that causes adverse
criticism is the paragraph relative to The
dismissal of officers who have failed with
in specified time after their election tt
secure the necessary officers uniform
do not believe that there is any law tha
would hold in this case. A man Wher
chosen an officer by his company is the
officer, no matter what law reads to the
contrary. 1t is not always possible for ar
officer to provide himself with the expen
sive togs required, in such a short space Of
time. The cost is little less than 800.
There is also provision giving the
Colonel of regiment power to transfer
staff and send the staff officer to command
the company. One can readily see what
would happen to a company commander
if the Colonel holds grudge against him
'The bill is SO full of defects that tc
enumerate it's bad features would take &
whole day. An Adjutant is cut off from
any allowance for his horse at any time
and yet this position is one of the hardest
in the regiment. l sincerely hope that the
Judge-Advocate will decide against Ger.
tain provisions of the act for the genera
benefit of the guard. Certainly if men are
forced to submit to such injustice as the
Delinquency Court has power to impose
there will be a tremendous list of resigna.
