officials Of Almshouse
Busy.
WANTED TO SEE THEIR UNCLE
Captured on Tonnele Avenue
Trudging Along They
Knew Not Where.
TO SEE THEIR UNCLE

Rose Fallon, fourteen years old, and
her small brother, John, eight years old,
ran away from the Almshouse at Snake
Hill yesterday. They were recaptured
and >taken back by Poormaster Hewitt.
Shortly after dinner yesterday the pair
made up their small minds to run away
and try and locate their uncle. They
took all they had with them. and slip
ping away from the other youngsters,
started off down the road.
They had been gone about half an
hour. when Warden Ryan discovered
their absence. The police of this city
and Hoboken were notified by telephone.
At the same time the Warden sent
Eugene Condict, one of the employees,
down the road in carriage to find tine
runaways.
CAUGHT ON TONNELE AVENUE.
Condict drove along Tonnele avenue to
Newark avenue when he caught sight of
the pair trudging along as fast as they
could go. The driver hailed them and
wanted to know why they We're going
away. Both replied that they wanted
to go home.
Condiet had no trouble inducing them
to get in the carriage and go back with
him. When they returned, both were
crying. The Warden questioned them.
The reason they gave for going away
was that they wanted to go to their
uncle
Where does he live?" asked the war;
den.
I'VE don't know" the girls replied.
So both were returned to their re-
spectiye apartments, still crying bitterly.
DESERTED BY THEIR UNCLE.
1t was learned from Poormaster
Hewitt that the boy and girl had been
deserted by their uncle, with whom they
lived for some time in this city. The
Poormaster located them and an effort
VAS made to find the uncle. No trace
of him could be found, so the children
were sent to the almshouse.
Warden Ryan said this afternoon that
the children We're strange when they en-
tered the institution, which accounted for
their desire; to go "home." Both were
more contented this morning, he said

ial determination of his Fake Street and
Water Board to Chief Justice Gummere
of the Supreme Court until next Monday
at the earliest. He had originally in
tended TO make the application today.
Mr.. Record explained that under the
law it is the duty of the Chief Justice to
. take a special session of the conrt TO con-
slider the matter of the Mayors petition.
The administration has no desire to put
said. and for that reason no request will
be made for a special session of The

opening of the new term of court in Feb
ruary.
Mayor Fagan announced to-day that
he viii continue to recognize the present

TUNNEL FLOODED
Several Feet Of Water in
South Forings Under the
Hudson River.
DEFECTIVE SHIELD CAUSED IT
Laborers Discharged Because
1t Will Take Several Weeks
70 Pump Out.


In spite of protests made by President
w. G. McAdoo, that there is no flood
in the Hudson River tunnel it was
learned on coed authority that there is
almost two and half feet of water in
the northern bore, almost a foot and a
half of water in the shaft, and the
southern bore is threatened. Laborers
have already shut the opening of the
southern bore to prevent the water from
the shaft getting inside.
Workin the tunnel is at a standstill.
LABORERS LAID OFF.
About forty of th elaborers employed
at the heading of the northern bore
were paid their salaries last Saturday
night and told there would not be any
work for them until> the water in the
tunnel had been pumped out and the bor-
ing shield repaired
They were informed that it would be
almost two months before work would
be resumed The only men at work in
the tunnel now are those employed at
pumping cut the water to prevent any
serious disaster. A powerful pump is at
the heading of the northern bore and an
other at4the shaft. They have been con-
stantly in play since the inlet of water
was discovered.
DEFECT IN BORING SHIELD.
The water comes in through a defect
in the boring shield that is operated un-
der pneumatic pressure. The soil in
which the tunnel is built is stiff, com
pact clay silt, forming the bed of the
Hudson River The shield used at the
face is a machine built up of boiler plates
strengthened with massive steel webs,
both vertically and horizontally and div
ided up into a number of separate COM
partments. 1t forms a solid bulkehead
across the face of the tunnel while con-
struetion is proceeding.
MODE OF EXCAVATION
The soil is excavated in front of the
shield, and is brought into the tunnel
through doors left in the diaphragm, By
which name the bulkhead of the shield
is known. The shield is pushed forward
by numbers of hydraulic jacks exerting
enormous pressure, and in the shield at
present installed, as well as in the new
shield now in course of construction for
the south bore, the total power available
for pushing the shield.
MET ROCK FOUNDATION.
This shield some weeks ago encoun-
tered rock formation while the hy-.
draulic pump working the apparatus
being operated to its limit. la was
made defective and was temporarily
patched. A few days ago the water
behind the rock formation that was en-
eountered pressed SO hard against the
patched shield that it broke and the
water came rushing in. The water
pumps were put into use and are still
working.
MEN WON'T TALK.
The men who work in the tunnel are
bound to secrecy when they are en-
ployed. 1t would cost them their jobs
to give out any information concerning
the plan of work in the tunnel. A la
borer caught few days ago giving in
formation to a reporter was discharged.
He received $2.75 a day and was CON
sidered good workman.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had lh
largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment of Consumption and Throat and.
Lung troubles without losing its great
popularity all these years, you will be
thankful we call your attention to
Boschee's German Syrup There are
so many ordinary cough remedies
made by druggists and others that are
cheap and good for light colds perhaps,
but for severe Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup-and especially for Consumption,
where there is difficult expectoration
and coughing during the nights and
mornings, there is nothing like German
Syrup. The 25 cent size has just been
introduced this year Regular size IS
cents. Atall druggists.
