MAY DRIVE MORE
WELLS AT RUNYON.
Work on the Two Recently Authorized BY the Aldermen Was Com
enced To-day and They Successful and do not Check
the Flow ofThose in Operation, Two More May be Driven

The work of driving the two arte-
sian wells at the Runyon pumping
station was commenced today in the
preshnce of Water Superintendent
Burns and Alderman Runyon, Chair
man of the Water Committee. The
work will not take long and as soon
as the wells are completed it is the
purpose of these two gentlemen to
have the wells tested and if they show
that their force is not affected by the
running of the wells already driven
Alderman Runyon will introduce an
other resolution at the next meeting
of the Board of Aldermen to have two
more wells driven as soon as possible.
In speaking upon the subject this
morning Mr.. Rnnyon said:
"In advocating the digging OF more
wells at Runyon, it is not solely with
the idea of getting more water alone,
bat that we may get more OF good
water. The four wells already driven
have capacity of nearly 100000 gal
ions a day aside from the regular
supply and with double that number
we should have supply nearly suffic.
lent for this city's use daily from the
wells alone.
Mr.. Rur-on said that at this time
of the year the pond at Runyon station
begins to fill up with vegetation and
at times it becomes so bothersome to
the engineers that water from the
pond is pumped with considerable
difficulty. The additional wells
should relieve this situation and re-
suit in the city getting clearer and
better water.

HITS LOCAL PLANTS
Terra Gotta Factory Forced to Lay
off Hands Because BuiIdin s are
not Ready for Material.

That the labor trouble of New York
city and vicinity is at last being felt
in the factories of Perth Amboy is
apparent from the fact that the Perth
Amboy Terra Gotta factory laid off a
number of men employed in their
plaster department and, as few orders
for work are being received, it is ex-
pected others will be laid off.
A local terra Gotta man said this

BOY
KIDNAPPED.
Roy BurneII, of Orange, Found
Wandering in Smith Street
Last Night.
A TRAIN.

A little boy, crying and seemingly
in great distress. was picked up by
Policeman Jensen in Smith street,
near the Post office, last night. He
was crying so hard he could hardly
tell anything about himself and the
officer took him to headquarters.
There he gave a strange history Of
himself.
He said his name was Roy, twelve
years old and the son of Arthur Bur.
nell, of Orange. He told a story OF
being kidnapped by Q man wearing a
grey suit and slouch nat Mr.. Bur.
nell, until few months ago, was an
inspector for the local traction COM
pany. The boy says they now live at
54 Oakwood avenue, Orange. The
little fellow told the police last night
that the man had enticed him to carry
a satchel to the depot. They both
boarded the train and got off in this
city.
When Chief Burke notified the
police in Orange they said that an
alarm had already been sent out for
the boy. They notified the boy IS
father who promised to come here
after his son this morning.

HICKEY WITH
EQU|TABLES.
Popular Catcher will Play With
the Visitors Here Saturday
A Good Game.
PLAYED WITH MARIONS.

When the Equitables come here
Saturday to play the second game of
the series with the Marions they will
have as back stop Morris Hickey, the
former catcher for the Marions who
was with the locals during 1901 and
until late last season, when illness
compelled retirement from the game.
Hickey's ability as a player is an
old story to the fans and he has a
host of friends in this city who were
won by his honest endeavors in be-
half of the local team. In baseball
phraseologv he always "kept a
workin" and no player ever worked
harder or was more sincere in the
effort to win games for the Marions.
Hickey was of great assistance to
Rochelle in 1901 when the latter was
pitching for the Marions. He was a
clever man behind the bat, a good
hitter and had few equals as base
runner and run getter. His appear
ance in this city. even though it be
with an opposing team, will be well
coined by local baseball lovers and
there is no question but that he will
play just as hard against the Marions
as he ever played for them. Freed
borg, whose place Hickey takes be-
hind the bat, is now playing in the
outfield.

A representative of the OH Rev.

scene of the FIRE when the first alarm
was sounded this morning, and I'M
mediately reached for his watch,
the object being to time the fire

scene OF destruction. The Citizens

and were the first to get to the cor
ner of Water and Catherine streets,
the nearest to the FIRE, and were the
first to make the connections with
the plug. The Jones boys were
right after them, however, and only
ten feet behind. About twenty feet
from the plug the hose of the
Citizens became tangled, would
not come of of the reel, and they
were compelled to stop, while the
Jones crew rushed by them like

QUICK TIME

Baily. who did part of the pushing.
The Jones boys were the first to
get water. and 1t was exactly three
minutes and twenty seconds from
the bell first tapped until wat
er was thrown on the burning
building. The Review congratulate
es the firenen on this excellent
record. And 1t Is most magni6-
cent when 1t is considered that the
distance Is seven squares, and that
there were only few boys ho!d OF
each cart and they had to rush from
their respective places of business
to the hose houses.
There Is no comparison between
our fire department and any other,
1t Is merely question of contrast,
In which Sistersville shines bright

Charlie died about II p. M, about 7 or s
hours after the fatal accident occurred.
