Complaint.

There have been complaints of the
impurity Of the water taken from the
we'll on south Main street below Ferry,
and not without cause. As this well
WAS a great benefit and convenience to
the travelling public, as well as to the
residents, Il few years ago the city
took charge of this we'll to keep it in
repair. They put new platform
around the pump without giving it
any ventilation. Last summer the
water began to smell and taste bad
and it WAS quite offensive. In looking
about for cause, / observed there was
no ventilation in the platform. With
the help of friend, / cut hole in il
and gave it ventilation and in short
| time the offensive taste and smell were
| gone. About this time some of this
water was sent to the State chemist to
be analysed. He pronounced it i'm
pure and unfit to drink and for family
use. More recently, there has been
more of this sent to be Analysed and
the State chemist has pronounced il
worse than the other time; therefore
it becomes necessary to look for some
other cause for the deflement OF this
water than want of ventilation.
This we'll is the property of the city
and is under the control OF the COM
mon council and it is their duty TO
institute thorough Investigation Of
the cause of this defilement of the
water and to remove the cause if 1t is
possible, and to further ascertain if
the deteriorating ingredient properties
found are injurious to health. II is a
serious question whether the many
families and also the public travel
shall be deprived of the use and con-
venience of this heretofore pure water.
AS to its being injurious to health,
the facts dispute and contradict it. |
From an observation of forty years,
there has not been reported any |
person made sick from the supposed |
use of this water. 1t is healthy To-
cality, il not the healthiest, in the |
city. In midsummer, in extreme hot
weather, when men were working at
the stone crusher they drank this
water when at fever heat and they OK
perienced no unpleasant sensations
or harm from it.

Two nro,her. DIE Close Together.

Death claimed two aged men, bro.
theirs, few days ago, both of whom
were we known in Hunterdon county.
They were Dennis and Isaac II. Hall
brothers to the late William II. Hall, of
Pennington.
The first to answer the dread sum-
n#aas WAS Dennis Hall. He died at
Il Dom field, N. J., Friday night, 18th
inst, aged 69 years. Until few years
ago the deceased lived ON farm be.
tween Mt. Airy and Lambertville. A
wife and four children survive.
His brother, Isaac II. Hall. died at
his home in Railway, N. j., the next
Sunday, only two days later, at the age
OF 20 years. In 1878 deceased came to
Pennington and formed partnership
with his brother. William II. Hall. il
the grocery business, selling his inter
est to William one year later. The lat
ter continued in the business with hi
son, Jacob r. Fall, until his deatf
about year ago.
Isaac II. Hall many years ago con-
Quoted hotel at Centreville, and later
hotel near South Branch. At the
latter place the Hall family was born.
Isaac leaves wife and six children.
OF these, three sons--John, Jerry and
Elmer, and one daughter-Mrs. Dayid
Hoagland-live in Readington town

that mule never dies from old age,

FROM THE FIRST WARD.

1t wouldn't be bad idea for some
OF tho First Warders to organize a
White Cap Association, and get after
some of the big, lazy young men who
t0iU not work or support themselves.
We have come to the conclusion that
something should and must be done
in the very near future, as no amount
of shame has the least bearing upon
this c'ass. am merely suggesting
this white Cap" arrangement, but
those whom this article is meant for
had better take hint and make hus-
tie for themselves, or they may be
taught lesson which they will long
remember.
Some three or four of our eo.work
ers from the Lambertville Rubber fac
tory, gave us call last Saturday
morning. We are always pleased to
have them call, and we also hope to be
back with them ere long. For more
than 80 years We have held position
in that establishment, and many are
the changes wrought in these many
years. At first, eleven men constituted
the working force and to-day some
thing over four hundred are employed.
That much talked-of trolley line
between Lambertyile and Trenton
has been surveyed and it now looks as
If we will get this much needed con-
nection ore the summer is far advanced.
This will reduce the fare from three
cents per mile down to one cent. The
railroad always takes the advantage
where there is no competing line, and
the trolley project is a wise one and
will, no doubt, pay big dividends.

down and write my own lovely, honest,

Ha! hal ha! darn me if it isn't good

I could answer, he stepped up closer
and put his mouth to my car and
asked in soulful whisper, "Do you
still take drop for the good Of your
soul, old boy? Was just going to take
one myself, so come along and have
with NO." "Oh, bless

wouldn't dare drink before all these

of the gospel to be drinking

to the bar and whispered to the beer
who set ont long black
bottle and several glasses, and my
red headed friend poured ont whiskey
in two of them and motioned to me to
approach the bar. / went over, but
protested against drinking any OF the

tains good jigger, and when / throw

when the moment came for action,
and the old friend of the Rev. Mr..
Tomkins threw his big coat tail over
my head in pretended playfulness, I
clinched glass OF the stuff aud
downed it before you could say Con-
stantinople. Drink" whispered
the old school mate, so I took up the
other glass and downed the contents
in mechanical sort OF way, and in
the twinkle Of a lambs tail. Then my
red -headed friend took down the coat
tail that screened me from the crowd,
and when he saw both glasses were
empty he looked me in the face with a
funny expression in his eyes, and
said, with sad. soulful sob, "By
Jimminy, Mr.. Tomkins, you may
have been born to be preacher, but
by the Roman Rebellion and little
green apples, you drink whiskey like
n congressman, and then smile like
professional gambler after killing his
mothcr-in-law with fat-iron."
