get along this year without the aid of
bonds. They think it may be possible to
pay the S41.400 due to the Sinking Fund
Commissioners before the end of the
fiscal year of the latter body, out of the
receipts of the water department.
The trouble has been that construction
work has been done without figuring the
cost before the work was commenced
This was thought of afterward when the
liability arose.
Ihe nnance committee of the Board re-
receives no direct reports at present. from
the cashiers division on the Water De-
partment. The methods are rather loose,
and it is understood that Cashier George
Van Name, on whom lies the burden of
making ends meet for the Board, desires
a more strict method of accounting The
other departments spend the money and
have no responsibility thrown on them.
He has suggested to the finance committee
OF the Board, it is understood, a change
in the rules under which the cashier will
be compelled to make statements at short
intervals during the year to the Board, so
that the members may be thoroughly con-
versant with the exact conditions of the
finances.
These reports are to show the receipts
and disbursements, with the balances in
each account and the amounts outstand-
ing, together with any other information
the Board may deem advisable.

CAUSED HAYES'S DEATH.
Coroner's Jury Holds Hecker
Responsible.

Testimony in the case of Michael
Hayes, of No. 35S Fifth street, Hoboken,
who died in ST. Marys Hospital, that
city, from injuries received while in a
quarrel over the Boer war with Henry
Hecker, a fellow tenant, was heard by
Coroner Hoffman, and a jury in Hoboken
last night. The story of the dispute,
which resulted in Hayes's DEATH has
already appeared in 'The News"
Hecker, who is a Hollander. it is alleged,
struck Hayes because he made remark
about the Beers which Heeker did not
like. Hayes fell and sustained mortal
injuries by striking his head on the
curbstone.
Eleven witnesses were examined last
night All told the same story of the
quarrel, but only one, Hannah Leary,
who lives in the same house, actually
saw Hecker strike the fatal blow. She
said that the men had struck at each
other in the hallway before they went
out on the street
Henry Siemers, of Fifth and Grand
streets, testified that he saw Hayes raise
| both hands and fall backwards. He was
not positive whether Hecker had struck
him.
The jury rendered the following YER

ROASTED
TO DEATH.
Hoboken Boy Killed by
Live Electric Light
Wire.
HUNG DOWN ON SIDEWALK
Paul Kluss Touched It and
Was Immediately Terribly
Shocked.

Roasted alive by an electric light wire.
This was the terrible fate which befelI
Paul Klusss. a Hoboken boy, this morn
ing.
Although the accident occurred as early
at 6:45 O'Clock many people witnessed it
Owing to the excitement which prevailed
among the onlookers several minutes
elapsed before the burning wire was re-
moved from the boys body Meanwhile
the lad lay on the sidewalk roasting to
death with smoke issuing from his nose
and mouth.
The wire which caused the accident
broke from the fastenings at the top of
an electric light pole at Third and VIII
low avenue early this morning. Sparks
flew in every direction as it struck the
street. Ahroken end of the wire dangled
two feet above the sidewalk. Policeman
Weeks noticed the dangerous situation
sometime between and 6 o'clock. He re-
ported it at once to Police HEADQUARTERS
by telephone and Sergeant John Flattery,
who was in charge noIified the North
Hudson Light, Heat & Power Company
OF the accident.
1t was 6;15 O'Clock when thrrteen-vear-
old Paul Kluss, who lived with his parents
in tenement in the rear of NO. g4l Gar
den street, was sent to a neighboring
bakers shop to buy bread for the family
breakfast. Twenty minutes elapsed and
ne had not returned. Mrs. KIuss had pre-
pared the table and everything was ready
for breakfast except the bread The
family waited impatiently FIVE more min
utes and then Gdrs. Kluss despatched her
ten-year-old son Otto to see what was the
cause of Paurs delay.
OTTO reached the corner of Third street
and Willow avenue shortly after the ac-
cident and saw his brother lying In agony
ON the sidewalk. No one in the neighDor-
hood seemed to know whether the lad had
caught hold of the wire Intentionally, but
many saw him fail. The wire rested
across his body and he had hold of 1t with
his right hand. Fire sputtered from the
end of the wire and a white smoke came
out of his nostrils and mouth. The pedes-
trians were at first dazed by the sight.
William Stevens, a man living at No so
Willow avenue. came along carrying a
shovel and Immediately rushed to the
boys rescue. He raised the wire from
young Kluss's body with the shovel while
ID. Rosenfeldt, of No. 226 Willow avenue,
dragged the boy from under it and carried
him to St. Mary's Hospital, a block away.
l<luss died two minutes after he arrived
at the hospital. His right hand was
burned badly and there were marks across
his body.
Little Otto carried home the news of his
brothers death. His parents were almost
overcome by the shock. August K1uss
the father, is a longshoreman employed on
the Hamburg piers. Paul had an infant
sister and an older brother besides Otto.

ton of the State believe that if the East
Jersey Company obtains rights to the
surplus Newark water it will try to
make a contract to supply good Pequan-
mock river water at a higher price than
Jersey City now pays. 1t is thought that
Jersey City will be glad to pay few
dollars in addition to the present price in
order to get the water that will be better
than that from Little Falls. If such a
plan should go through, the company
will be able to pocket generous profit.
It would also save the cost of pumping
water from Little Falls and the expense,
perhaps, of constructing filter beds. All
these items during the three or four years
until the Boonton plant is ready, will
amount to a large sum. In addition the
company after next month will not be
at the expense of maintenance of the
pipe lines. This will be borne by Newark.

LIVE INSECTS IN WATER
Newark Man Finds More in His
Libations Than He Likes

Especial to THE Jersey City News'']
NEWARK. Aug. II, 1900-The condition
of the Pequannock water drawn from
faucets in Newark houses is apparently
becoming worse. It was hoped it would
improve after it was announced that
water being drawn from Clinton reservoir
instead of polluted Oak Ridge But com
plants are now made that besides a
milky appearance In glass foreign
growth have been found in the water
Louis F. Adds. who lives at No IA First
street, has a small phial filed with
milky water At the bottom of the phial
are two small yellowish substances.
When the phial was turned and the two
substances arose in the water they look
ed like two long an dthin insects or bugs.
They had light brown backs and many
felt like silk threds.
Il drew some water from a faucet in
my house last night" said Mr.. Adds.
land was about to drink when I noticed
two small objects in the glass. Then 1
held the glass close to the light and ex-
anined the water. The appearance of the
objects satisfied me that they were not
good to be in any persons stomach.
Il think it is a shame that citizens are
supplied with water impregnated with
such things. whatever they may be. I
would not drink water from that faucet
again in the dark for anything
The phial of water was taken to the
office of the Board of Health, where sew
eral of the inspectors looked at it. One
of the men said the objects were called
''cyelops' and that they were not danger
Gus to health if person drank them.
Whether they are dangerous to health
or not said Mr.. Johnson, a member of
the Board, "a man does not care to have
such stuff in his stomach. L drink Pc
quannock, and will continue to do so. for
/ believe there is no purer water But
when the reservoirs in the mountains are
low the water ought to be filtered by
people before they drink it,
II always boil it at home" an en-
ploye of the Board remarked, but Mr..
Johnson said he thought filtering would
do.
When Health Officer Chandler was
shown the water and the queer-looking
objects in 1t he said it was the first he
had seen this year, but there were any
number of them in the water last year.
He said they come from the rank vegeta-
ton of the swamp lands in the reservoirs,
and when the water in the latter runs
down low these substances flow from the
swamps and pools down the reservoir
and are carried into the mains to this
city.
Il gave them the name of cyclops last
year. Mr.. Chandler said because I
didn't know what they were, and there
fore gave them a name of some kind
The name was taken up and is used
but I hope it won't be used any more
DR. Disbrow, who had made a study of
water, looked up the matter last year
and gave the substance a name two
inches long l don't know whether these
growths in the water are injurious to
health or not but man does not care
to drink water with them in it as a
steady thing.

Through an unofficial source 1t was
made known today that Chairman w. B.
Gourley, of the Democratic State Com

the State convention probably to the
day after the outing of the Davis As

the committee had no intention

September IL was made in entire ignor-
ance of the fact that that day was a

So far as Mr.. Robert Davis is con-

WHAT IT COSTS NEWARK
Financial Problem, Causec
by Water, Comforts the
Commissioners.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News."]
NEWARK, Aug. II, 1900.-Financial diff
ficuties of a serious character confront
the Street and Water Commissioners at
the present time in the conduct of the
Water Department. Constant expendi-
lures for construction work have drained
sthe receipts of the department until, at
the present time, the department owes
Sal, 400 and has only S7,SA.65 to meet this
liability with.
The S41 400 is due to the Sinking Fund
Commissioners. The Street and Water
Commissioners are contending that this
money may be paid by them any time
up to November 80, when the fiscal year
of the Sinking Fund Commissioners
closes. In the past, however, the charges
to this account have always been paid
in June.
The present condition of affairs has
been brought about by the depletion of
a balance that, at the end of 1896, was
s175, Se41 Since that time this has been
steadily decreased. Each year since the
expenditures of the department have been
greater than the receipts, thus requiring
the use of the big balance carried over
from 1896
The receipts and disbursements of the
department during the last three years,
according to the reports, have been as
follows:-

$4,000 have been paid. Other expenses
that have been met, consisting of interest
on bonds, amount to $S19,A55, making to-
