CONAOLLYS CLEANERS
Contractor Has Patented q
Sewer Device Which He
Will Manufacture.

Contractor NJ. T. Connolly this morning
received from the patent offiee at Wash
ington a certificate of patent of a device
for cleaning sewers. He has been work
ing on the system for some years. 1t Is
known as the IN. 7. Connolly device for
cleanlng n sewers, and was patented on
The device consists of steel shells made
to mt various size sewers up to tweaty
inches, but the largest size win thorough
~ clean the larger sewers The size of
tne smells is limited to twenty inches,
because they have to be put through the
twenty-one inch manholes. They rest on
two two-inch wheels, one near the front
OF the shell and one near the rear. This
Keeps the shell within one inch of the
bottom of the sewer, and the natural
flow of water will clean off that amount
The inch is allowed so that the she'll viii
not strike the fangeS of a pipe sewer.
Horse power is used to operate the ma
chine or device.
The old idea of floating a block with q
string attached to cables is reserted 70
to secure a hold on the machine lowered
in one manhole at the next manhoie.
Two horses start back with the ropes
and by the time they reach the manhole
in which the machine was lowered the
machine with its contents arrives at the
other.
The shells are provided with automatic
heads The system at present in vogue
is to flush or blow the sediment with
hose and water. This in many instances
only chokes up the sewer with sediment
Mr.. Connolly claims for his machine that

will do the work of fifty men and that
the machines will save their cost in one
month in the matter of cost of water

NO SMOKING ON CARS.
Trolley Company Issues an
Edict to Take Effect
Next Monday.

On Monday next the rule of the New
Jersey Street Railway Company will be
that passengers on the rear platform
smoking on the platform will be permit
ted. The new order was decided upon at
a conference yesterday afternoon between
David Young. general manager of the
trolley company, and the street commit
tee of the Board of Works. Mr.. Young
attended the meeting of the committee at
the request of the chairman, Commissioner
Garrison, who explained that he had ask
ed Mr.. Young to come around and explain
why the company couldn't keep people off
the rear platform of the cars.
1.-THE platforms are crowded, as a rule,
even when the cars are only a quarter
filled and there are plenty of seats in
side,' said Mr.. Garrison. "This thing has
got so bad that it is nearly impossible
for people to get off and on the cars.
1t has become more than a nuisance.
A woman can hardly get on or off car
without being insulted, and many women
prefer to walk short distances for this
reason"
Mr.. Young said the whole difficulty
came from the fact that American people
think they are free and have a right to
stand where they please. He had once
made a rule, he said, that no one was to
stand on the platform if there was room
inside the car, but passengers refused to
obey it and told the conductors they had
as much right on the platform as in any
pany from an epidemic of damage suits
the rule had been withdrawn.

MARRIED FOR A CENT.
Captain Kelly's New Curio the Re-
suit of a Black and Tan Romance

Twenty Richard Stewart, a
colored teamster, of No. 512 Grand street,
took to himself a fifteen-year-old bride
this morning in the First Criminal Court.
Stewart and Miss Sophie Robinson were
united in the bonds of wedlock by Justice
OF the Peace John P. Mccormick. The
bride lives at No. S21 Grand street The
marriage fee was one of the smallest on
record. 1t was one cent This fee was
later given to Police Captain John F.
Kelly OF the Second Precinct, and he will
frame it and add add it to his collection
of curios that make his office such a
very pleasant abode while while duty de-
mands his presence at the station house.
Stewart consented to the marriage in
order to avoid trial on a charge which
the brides mother insisted upon her
daughter making against Stewart. The
two left the court room apparently per-
fectly happy at the turn affairs had taken
at the eleventh hour

PLAN FOR LAFAYETTE PARK

Mr.. A. A. Campbell of Lafayette who
has been working for park, has ad-
vanced a plan to be put in operation IN
case the site is purchased His idea is
to interest the school children in Lafay-
cite in the matter. Should the park pe
bought he would have the children of the
various classes purchase trees for the
site each class to own its own tree and
to give it a name. Mr.. Campbell believes
the plan a good one and thinks the chiI-
dren would enter into the work with splr-
1t. He has asked Director Charles o.
Barker to put the matter before the pu-
pills and teachers of the Lafayette schools.

DECKER DONE FOR.
Republicans in the Eighth
Say They Have No
Use for Him.

Decker has effectually killed himself in
the Eighth Ward" said a Republican of
that ward last night. Mr.. Decker, as told
in last nights News said that if the
members did not live up to the promises
they made to the machine he would not
allow the use of his namem to a politi-
cal organization. Decker's men, who ele-
waited him to the leadership of the ward,
placing him in control of the situation by
winning the primaries last December. are
not prepared to follow the road pointed
out TO them. 1t is the plan of the leaders
to have the Decker political club disband
and the Ward Association, which the
Deckerites control, meet in the new home
of the Eighth Ward Club. In word,
Decker's followers are to stop fighting the
machine and work hand-in-hand for har-
mony.
In return for these concessions the ma
chine has agreed to give the Decker men
half the patronage which may come that
way some day. The whole scheme is
worthy the machine leaders who are feel
ing the effects of being en- the outside.
by request of the Decker Club, the ma
chine appointed Decker ON the Finance
Committee, and as chairman of it, he is
an Executive Committeeman. Decker's
followers declare that for years they
fought to get control and now, being in
a position to dictate to the machine, an
effort is on foot to take away this power.
Mr.. Decker says that his club agreed
to do all the machine asked of it some
time ago, but now the members have
backed down. He means to force them
to live up to their word, but if not he
won't stand for them any longer.
A committee of Decker men is to meet
this week and discuss plans for the fu-
ture. There may be some surprises in
store next week. When the Wanser Club
went over to the Eighth Ward Club there
were many who refused to be won to the
agreement. There is talk of these men
uniting with the Deckerites, who are op-
posed to the machine, and forming an in
dependent club, leaving Decker out. By
this operation the anti-ring men can re-
tain control of the Ward Association, at
least until another primary is held.
