An Emergency Pump.

The waterworks committee recon-
mended an auxiliary pumping station
at the reservoir to serve in case of
emergency. At present there is but
one pump. and in the event of it be-
coming disabled serious situation
might be precipitated, as the pump at
the Elm street brewery, which has been
fallen back on until now. is no longer
useful and has been ordered removed

The installation OF public tele-

Claim Ordered Settled

Settlement OF the claim of Searle &,
Marshall for 81 $50 fees for assisting
in the defense of the $25. 900 damage
suit of Mrs. Belle Starkey against the
city was ordered. The question now
arises where the money is to come
from. There is no fund to take it
from and it is left to the mayor, city
attorney, finance and claims commit
tees to scrape together enough TO meet
the obligation.
The police committee, to whom was
referred the complaint of neighboring
property holders against the estab-
lishment of Junk yard on Fourth
avenue, between Eighth aud Ninth
streets, had no recommendation
to make. Aid. Kennedy, tie
chairman, stated on investiga-
ton he had found parties had
bought property in that locality and
the superstition was that it was the
intention to start junk business on
it. Aids. Snyder and Andrews were
of the opinion that these establish
ments were out of place in the resi-
dence portions of the city and should
be obliged to seek locations elsewhere.
Mayor Knox said as no nuisance ex-
listed as vet, he failed TO see how the
city could give the relief petitioned
for. However, no would personally
look into the case aud SEQ what could
be done.

ment of the new levee by heavily
loaded wagons, which during tho
summer have cut up the pavement
with the result that the city is now
obliged to spend considerable money
to place it in respectable condition.

.COYNE QUITS PLACE.
Clash in Authority Between Garn-
sey Commissioner and Park
Committee.
OVER DISMISSAL OF A WORKMAN
Resignation Accepted BY Council
-.Ordinance Prohibiting OBJ
structing of Streets.

The resignation of Foster Coyne as
commissioner of Gsrnsey square was
accepted by the city council at its
semi-monthly meeting last night.
No reason was given in Mr.. Coyne's
communication for his request to be
relieved. but the readiness with which
Aid. +. + Andrews. chairman of the
park committee, moved that the
commissioner designation be ac-
cepted, indicated that the desire of
Mr.. Coyne to sever official relations
with the city was mutual.
There appears to have been tilt in
authority between Mr.. Coyne and the
park committee. Dan Lucas has
been parkman at Garnsey square.
He did something to incur the dis
favor of the commissioner and was
discharged without the park commit
tee being consulted. immediately
friends of Lucas got up petition ask
ing his reinstatement. The park
committee got wind of the affair.
Then there was trouble. Chairman
Andrews called his committee to-
gether and Commissioner Coyne was
invited onto the carpet. His reasons
were not sufficient to satisfy the COM
mittee that he was warranted in dis
missing Lucas, and the latter was
given back his old position. That is
the reason Coyne resigned. His sue
cessor has not as yet been appointed.
To Stop street Blocking.
Aid. Anderson offered an ordinance
that is designed to put a stop to such
blocking of streets as Sunday tied up
street car service on the Third and
Fourth avenue lines. The ordinance.
which was referred. is to the effect
that no person shall be allowed to
move on or along the streets of the
city building or structure of any
nature the height of which exceeds
% feet, including the blocking and
apparatus used in moving it, and the
width of which exceeds q feet. This
ordinance is to be construed as de-
priving the mayor of all authority or
power to grant permission to move
a building with dimensions greater
than those above described. Before
permission can be granted there shall
be first executed to the city a suifi-
cient bond in a sum to be determined
by the mayor.

Greece (the very name suggests pellucid
skies, bold promontories. a blue horizon

action, and the story hinges on the con-
tinual conflict between Greek and Turk.
Mr.. Horton gives US a picture of this un-
equal and unrighteous struggl that is vivid

the New Highlander are admirably drawn.

ton, considering the quantity of books on
the markets these days. That Mr.. Horton

Under the title "Our European Neigh
bors.'' G. p. Putnam's Sons have begun the
publication of a series of books intended
10 be descriptive of the home and social
life of continental peoples, by authors
whose Ions residence on the continent en-
ables them to write with fullness of knowl-
edge and with impartiality. The books are
not statistical. political or controversial.
but describe such phases of life as are pc
culiar to each country. The first of the
series. French Life in Town and Coun-
try" by Hannah Lynch, was well received.
The second of the series, German Life in
Town and Country is by William II. Daw-
son. an Englishman, who has spent much
time in Germany and made a study of Ger
man life in all it's phases. The book is an
admirable account of Germany as 1t is
to-day. and is filled with valuable infor-
nation, not of a gazetteer, guide-book or
statistical kind, but regarding matters and
things closely connected with the every
day life of the people of all classes. In
different chapters the author treats of
life and labor, military service. public edu-
cation. religious life and thought, woman
and the home, pleasures and pastimes. po-
litical life, local government, etc. The In
formation conveyed under these different
heads, and others not mentioned, is or a
kind that seems to put the reader In per-
sonal contact and acquaintance with the
people and leaves almost the impression
of a sojourn in Germany Two more books
of the series are in preparation, ana they
will all be published in uniform style.

Southern papers are telling astonishing
stories of the destruction which cocaine is
working among the negroes. which they
can buy at most of the drug stores in the
form of a white powder. When once they
experience its effects they will sacrifice any
thing they nave or can get for il. These
papers make the startling announcement
that unless some check can be put upon
the cocaine habit II will reduce the negro
population in Southern cities more thar
all other causes combined. AT the same
time DIR. Crothers. of Philadelphia. a
specialist in nervous diseases. declares that
