Says East Jersey Is Not Re-
sponsible for Pollution
Mentioned in Prac-
titioners' Report.
JERSEY CITY SHOULD PROSECUTE
Board of Works Takes Issue
and Will Compel Com
pany to Give Whole
soma Water.

Mr. William H. Corbin, counsel for the
East Jersey Water Company, today dis
cussed the report made TO the Street and
Water Commissioners by the Practition-
ers' Club of this city respecting the poor
quality of the present water supply.
The report was prepared by Drs. George
E. Mclaughlin, ]. A. Exton, Gordon K.
Dickinson. T. R. Chambers and ]. Par
sons, all we'll known medical men in the
city. In it the physicians, who had care
fully examined the river above the in
take. said that
Proper measures should be taken at
once to prevent further contamination of
the water of the Passaic River by the
discharge of sewage effluent into it's
stream at Summit and other points and
for the removal of such sources of pollu-
tion as are in evidence, and that the
river be policed or constantly inspected
in order to protect it from further pollu-
tion.''
When this was brought to the attention
of Mr.. Corbin he replied
Il was not aware that any pollution of
the stream existed, but if it does and 1
accept as true the statement of these
gentlemen of the Practitioners Club there
is ample law ON that subject to prevent
it,
rs it not the duty of the East Jersey
Water Company to prevent such pollu-
tion, and has it not the authority to do
so?" Mr.. Corbin was asked.
No. he replied, the company has no
more power than an ordinary individual.
Every riparian owner by the common law
has right to an undiminished, unaltered
and unpoliuted flow of water. Now, by
the Crimes Act of 1888 it is a misdemeanor
for anyone to poliute in any way waters
from a stream, river, pond or lake used
for drinking purposes, and it is incum-
bent on Jersey City to have the person
or persons in that county indicted for
their acts
The Commissioners of the Street and
Water Board, however, take issue with
MIR. Corbin on this point. Their conten-
ton is that the temporary supply contract
with the East Jersey Water Company
calls for pure and wholesome water and
If the water be not up to that standard
ii Is for the company to fulfill its obli-
cations Only recently the Chief Engineer
man and he declared that it was good
and wholesome. STILL however, since that
time pollution may have occurred and
the board will investigate it and they will
demand of the company to furnish a
proper supply.

FAMILY BURNED OUT.
Greenville Had an Exciting
Fire, but No Lives
Were Lost.

A fire broke out in the store of Fred
Klotz, grocer, of No. 72 McAdoo avenue,
about 1880 yesterday morning. Mrs Klotz
was awakened by the smoke. 1t filled the
rooms in which Mr.. and Mrs. K1otz and
their five children live directly behind the
store. She called her husband and told
him that the place was afire. He, only
half awake at first, told her that she was
dreaming, but she kept at him and in a
moment he realized that the room was
filled with smoke. He jumped from bed
and started to find out where the fire was
located. On opening the door leading into
the store a thick volume of smoke rushed
out and he could see that the place was
ablaze He threw a couple of buckets of
water in in his excitement, but quickly
realized that it was useless to try and
fight the fire alone. He rushed to the
, window and gave the alarm by crying for
help from the neighbors, whom he speed
lily aroused.
Some one pulled the alarm and in the
meantime two of his neighbors, Otto Mul-
Ter and Herman Kunow, came to his as
sistance and helped him to get his chill
dren out of the house.
The children were picked up and taken
them it was found that Minnie Kiotz, the
eldest, eight years old, was missing. By
this time the fire was burning fiercely,
but Klotz had presence of mind enough to
remember that the child slept close to
the rear window. He rushed back to the
house and breaking open the window en-
tered and found the child still asleep. He
picked her up and got her safely over to
the house in which the other children
were.
In the excitement it was forgotten that
on the top floor of the house there lived
an aged woman, Mrs Matthias, and her
daughter. Mr.. Klotz and Otto Muller
started to go upstairs to save them, but
were driven back by the flames. At first
it was thought that they would perish
but upon investigation it was found that
they had been aroused and had reached
the street in safety. The house was COM
pletely gutted from top to bottom and it
will have to be torn down and rebuilt.
The building was a two-story and base

The Klotz family had no time to save
all escaped with nothing but their night
robes. Mr.. Klotz worked all the time
around the burning building with nothing
but his under clothing and an overcoat.
ment kept him from feeling the pain of
walking over the ice, which rapidly
formed, in his bare feet. Sunday morning
the neighbers came to the family's assist
ance and furnished them with shoes and
clothing. The grocery stock was fully in
sured as was also the building
The fire broke out again at eight O'Clock
Sunday morning, but It was speedily con-
trolled. The cause of the fire is NOT
known. The stock of the store gave ready
material for the fire to gain headway.

TALE OF Doe's TAILS.

Especial to "The Jersey City News.l
GLOUCESTER CITY, Jan. 21. 1901
What has become quite habit with the
small boy and hangers on at the saloons
in Gloucester City is the burying of dead
dogs, for which the city pays a fee of
fifty cents each. In order to secure the
fee the person has to amputate the dogs
tail and take it to Mayor Boylan or In
spector Haley of the Board of Health.
So many tails have been brought to
these two officials of late that it is
thought the same tail is used by many
persons, and it is likely some investiga-
ton will soon be made. The most of the
tails are taken to Mayor Boylan.

pine lumber from Pagues Inlet, North
Carolina, to Boston. Mass, which was
driven ashore on Cold Spring Bar during
heavy northeast gale Friday night, is
still high and dry on the sands, all efforts
of the tug Somers N. Smith to float her
having proved unavailing. Another effort
will be made on the next flood tide to pull
her free, but local surfmen express grave
doubts that anything will be accom-
plished.
The schooner has edged in over the main
and secondary bars, and win have to be
dragged nearly one thousand feet before
she can possibly strike clear water. Cap

FOUND THE CARPET BURNING

A small fire in the apartments Of
Samuel Gilbert, on the top floor of No.
497 Jersey, avenue, caused great deal of
excitement this morning at 2:30 o'clock
among half hundred tenants of that and
adjoining houses. The blaze was first no.
ticed by Chanceman Walsh, who ran into
the house to arouse the tenants.
He entered Mr.. Gilbert's rooms and saw
the carpet in the parlor burning. With
out much difficulty the flames were ex-
tinguished before they had done much
damage. The cause of the fire was the
falling of lighted candle to the floor.
Mr. Gilbert's family became greatly ex-
cited and set up a howl that aroused
their neighbors, who rushed to the street
in their night clothes.

WALES A SURPRISE.
His Speech a Revelation to the
British People.

LONDON, Dee. 1.-THE evolution of
the Prince of Wales has Interested the
britiSh public in the present week more
IMAM any other matter of general CON
Germ. His visit to the city and what he
said were more or less of revelation
TO the country in regard to the personal
lily ana character of the heir to tn,
throne.
As Duke of York he was never much in
the public eye ana the popular impress
sion of him, while not unfriendly on the
whole, has been vaguely tolerant lie
never won the warm place in the public
affections which his tactful and very hui
man father won at a much earlier age
lie had no opportunities to display n.s
individuality, and perhaps 1t was only
natural that this lack of evidence of any
special talents caused "A tacit belief in
their absence.
1t was welcome surprise therefore
to the English people yesterday TO read
speech from his lips which really said
something and which carried ideas at
once sound, thoughtful, even eloquent.
II was much above the average of royal
uttcrances
Cynics at once assumed that the Prince
merely repeated words put into his
mouth by convenient bureaucrat whose
duty II is to write royal speeches This
Is an absolute injustice. The Prince not
only wrote this excellent address to the
citizens of London but performed the far
more difficult task of composing all of
the many responses to public addresses
In his long tour. These included great
variety of ideas and sentiments, ofpn
expressed in exceedingly graceful and
happy language.
The English public has taken. on the
whole, remarkably slight interest in the
details OF the siN-months' tour. The
Princes summing up of the whole story
in his Guildhall address was therefore in
the nature of new narrative TO his lis
teners. His straightforward review and
