KICKS ABOUT WATER.
Lack of Pressure and Too much
Mud Cause Complaints.

Many complaints have been made by
people living in the neighborhood Of the
sugar house in Washington street that
they cannot get any water in the upper
floors of their houses when the big plant
is in operation. The pressure, they say,
is very weak, and fear is entertained for
the consequences in the event of big
fire.
Commissioner Heintze of the Street
and Water Board has suggested thaf-is.
would be a good scheme to take up the
3G-inch water mains acress the meadows
after the new water supply is turned on,
and lay the pipes through the city from
the Five Corners east. 1t is thought that
by this means greater pressure can be
obtained.
Commissioner Brock called the atten-
tion of the Street and Water Board yes

water has been muddy of late He said
he got half a bucket of dirt in a bath

We RE GOING
TO BUY IT. .
That's What the Ad-
ministration Says
About the Har-
rison Estate
DECISION" TODAY
But How the City Will Get.
the Cash the Officials
Do Not Know.
THE HIGH SCHOOL BLUFF
ofaoials Have Ignored the
Mckee Law and There Is
No Other Existing
Authority.

Another move was made this morning
looking to the purchase of a High School
site on the Harrison estate, which has
such a commanding view of the railroad
tracks and swamps on the i'll smelling
meadows Immediately below the hill.
The decision to foist this smoke and
SCOT befogged site on the city was reach
ed this morning at conference which
took place in the Mayors Office.
The city officials who were present
were Mayor Pagan, Corporation Counsel
Record, Finance Commissioner Ringles
and Directors Egbert, Legis and Coyle.
MR.. COYLE's PROTEST.
1t is said that. Mr.. Coyle made pro-
test against the purchase of the site on
the grounds that the location was not
the most desirable that could be secured
and that the first cost of putting the
grounds in shape would be very great.
The others, it is said, did not care to
argue the question very extensively, be-
ing convinced that the objections adj
founded
1t was learned at the conclusion OF the
conference that it had been determined
to enter into negotiations at an early
date, possibly next week. with represen-
tatives of the New York Central Rail
road Company for the purchase of the
site.
A committee including Mayor Pagan,
several Finance Commissioners and
members of the Board of Education will
be appointed to represent the city in the
negotiations.
Several years ago, when the Board of
Education was talking about buying the
Harrison property. the market quotation
for the site was $75;800. The price has
since been advanced to 100000.
is a MYSTERY.
Just how the city can buy the land
when no provision has been made for
this purpose is mystery. All the muni-
mipal board with the exception of the
Board of Education have ignored the
new school law, and in consequence there
is no authority under which the city can
issue bonds to buy the site and erect the
building.
1t. is believed that the administration
will pledge itself to buy the site, and take
chances on getting a bill through the
Legislature providing the necessary au-
tholity to issue bonds.

MUST WALK THE PLANK
The Delinquent PclicemenWho
Will Be Tried Tomorrow Night
Said to Be Doomed.

The Board of Police Commissioners
will meet tomorrow evening for the pur-
pose Of trying several men who have
been delinquent in their duties and three
on more serious charges.
Acting Patrolman Bremen of the
First precinct will be tried for intoxica-
tion while on duty, and from all that
has occurred in the past Bremen will
be looking for another situation after
tomorrow evening, as we'll as Patrolman
Van Buren, who was found in saloon
upon information furnished by Bremen.
Both of these men have been before the
Board on previous occasions for other
charges and received warnings.
Patrolman Barnes, it is said will be
tried for failing to turn IN about $76
which he had received for tickets sold
for the last performance given by the
Police Mutual Aid Society. The talk
among the men is that they would not
care to be in the shoes of any of the
three mentioned men if they cared to re-
main on the force.

MUST DIE
JANUARY 6
Judge Blair Sentences MUIR
derer George Taylor to
Be Hanged.
THIRTY YEARS FOR OLIvERA
William Reilly Escapes With
Seven Years in the
States Prison.


Judge Blair, in the Court of Oyer and
Terniner this morning sentenced George
w Taylor, colored, who murdered his
aunt, Minnie Taylor, on Plymouth street,
on Dee. 10, 1901, to be hanged on Janu-
ary 6 next, between nine o'clock in the
morning and three O'Clock in the after
noon.
Domenico Olivera, who pleaded non
vult to the indictment for the murder
of Francisco Brogna in West Hoboken,
on April s, was sentenced to State pris-
on at hard labor for thirty years, the full
penalty.
William Reilly, who pleaded guilty to
manslaughter in killing Martin Geraghty
in Jersey City ON June % last, was
sentenced to State prison at hard labor
for seven years.
COURT ROOM THRONGED.
The court room was thronged during
the time occupied in the imposition Of the
sentences. Prosecutor Erwin moved for
the sentence of Taylor first. Except for
his counsel, Joseph M. Noonan, he was
without anyone to give him cheering
word.
Constable Frank Hague stood beside
the prisoner while Judge Blair read the
sentence of death. Taylor, dressed in
clean linen, wearing an overcoat, and
carrying black derby hat in his right
hand, stood erect and must have heard
every word that fell from the judges
bps.
Every person in the big court room
kept absolute silence. Not muscle was
seen to move until Judge Blair used the
words ''and thence to the place OF exc
cution," when Taylor swallowed gulp.
Following came the words, .'And there
hanged by the neck until you are dead"
TAYLOR WEAKENS.
At this Taylor clutched his hat with a
tighter grip, his mouth twitched and
his eyelids moved several times. Not
word was spoken by him or for him.
Tears welled in his eyes; he bent over
and looked to the floor, but only for a
second. He appeared as if conscious that
everybody was watching him. He sat
erect quickly, and then appeared to be
interested in the sentencing of Oliyera
and Reilly.
The three were handcuffed and taken
back to the Jail together. On the way
down the stairs Taylor seemed to grow
weak. Constable Hague spoke an en-
eouraging word and again Taylor pulled
himself together, but he said nothing.
Counselor Noonan said after the death
sentence was. imposed that he would
present Taylor's case to the Board of
Pardons at the January session. Under
the Constitution he can ask Governor
Murphy for a reprieve of not more than
ninety days. This he may do if he can't
get Taylor's petition before the Board
Of Pardens by January 6.
Taylor was found guilty of murder in
the first degree, after trial, at the April
term of the court, and was sentenced to
be hanged on July 1S. Mr.. Noonan OBJ
tanned stay, Of execution pending an
appeal to the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals, and hearing on motion for a
new trial. That court sustained the
verdict. The stay of execution was va
Gated today, and the,sentence of January
6 was imposed.

an informal talk before their meeting
yesterday afternoon on the subject Of

tain sewers which are in a bad conditr
ion
Chief among the sewers which are is
need of attention is the Bay street seW~
er, from Henderson street to the river.
President Ringle said that 1t was in a
disgraceful condition. 1t is broken down
he said, and is causing much trouble to
property owners along its line. Chief
Engineer Van Keuren agreed with the
President that it is most necessary to put
this sewer in working order.

Board of Finance in July for $14, 600 for
the Bay street sewer. The appropri-
alton was not allowed: About $28,000
is availa bic in license receipts for the
purpose of reeOnstructing sewers.

the Fifth Central district of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, COM
prising lines between Omaha and the
Rocky Mountains, died at his home at
Rose farm, near Benson. at $50 last
night. says the Omaha Bee.
Mr.. Dickey was taken sick Deem
Der 90 with pleurisy. He retired to his
room and grew steadily worse until his
heart became affected and pneumonia
complications set in.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the funeral.
Mr.. Dickey's death will come as a
shock to the very large majority of his
numerous friends. His sickness which
dates only a few days back, was not
generally known.
John Jay Dickey was born in Rush
vile. H., April 11.1S39. His father,
Hon. T. Lyle Dickey, the late chief JUS

young Dickey spent his boyhood until
1858. Judge Cation, the president Of
the Illinois and Mississippi Telegraph
company, encouraged the boy to learn
telegraphy. He did so. though not with
a purpose of making it his lifelong
work. From 1859 to 1868. having be-
| come an expert, he served as operator
| at various places on the Chicago and
Rock Island railroad. showing such
great ability that in 1863 he became
manager at Ottawa, ILL.,. the company's
headquarters, and had charge of the
company's books.
