sea, swept by great tides and lofty
tidal waves, from an inner body Of
water measuring twenty-five miles
across. The Dutch not only propose
II, but they know Just how they are
going to do II; they have counted
every cubic foot OF timber, every
pound OF stone, every willow twig,
every days labor that will be required.
They know what they are about. They
oven have estimated exactly how long
the work viii take.
This, the greatest Of all sea embank-

and beautifully useful Chinese wall,
will extend from the mainland Of
North Holland a short distance across

ingen, thence across the 2uyed Zee
to the coast Of Friesland The total
length OF this "afsluit dix" is 248

rock, TO withstand the attacks of the
storms which will beat against it
from the North Sea, to resist the pres

drive with terrible force upon its ram
parts. Despite the fact that there are
here no rock foundations, and that the
whole structure must be planted upon
The sandy bottom the Dutch have no
fear. All their lives they have been
struggling with just such unpromising
materials. Nothing but walls Of sand
now protect most Of Holland from the
inroads of the ocean. Sand makes a

there is no trick in this trade that
the Dutch engineers had not mastered

James McMurry, the Hackman,
will have a Hearing Before
Justice PickersgiI|.
WOMEN COMPLAIN.

Mrs. Stuart Audsley, as member
of the s. P. q. A. society, has made
a complaint against William J. Nc
Murry, the hackman, charging him
with cruelty to his horse. The case
comes up before Justice of the Peace
Pickersgill for a hearing on Friday
afternoon.
A few days ago Miss Parker, OF
Water street, was going down High
street, when, it is declared, she saw
McMurry blating the horse over the
head with whip. Miss Parker, it is
alleged, demanded that the hackman
stop this, and afterward notified
Mrs. Audsley, who filed complaint.
The society will push the case and
Mr.. McMurry will fight it.
When he was seen by News re-
porter this morning, Mr.. McMurry
said:
II have very fractions horse and
one day last week was taking him
out of the stable when he started to
kick. had short whip in my hand
and with this / gave him few cracks.

to stop. I Ireplied that as the horse
was fiery and as was the owner OF

did not answer, but walked off and
made the complaint.
When asked if he would fight the
case McMurry said that he would.
When the case comes up it will attract
considerable attention.

TO SEWER
SMITH ST.
Petition Presented to the Alder.
men Last Night Signed by Six
Property Holders.
PAVEMENT IN VIEW

The first steps toward getting new
pavement on Smith street was taken
last night when a petition was pre-
sented to the Board of Aldermen by
six property owners requesting that a
sewer be built in Smith street from
State to Oak street and to connect
with the Raritan river. The petition
was referred to the Committee on
Streets.
This action is the result of the
movement started at the meeting OF
the Chamber of Commerce when W.
A. Belcher, manager for the Central
Electric Company, agreed to get the
petition circulated. His company
heads the list and there are five others.
The real object in view is to get Smith
street paved, but this the aldermen
hesitate to do until a sewer was built.
1t is probable that the work will go
through and that there will be no
delay until the pavement is laid.

RECTOR ST.
PAVEMENT.
Petition to have the Thorough
fare Paved with MaCadam
Presented.
MANY ARE OPPOSED.
Declare that Macadam is not the Right
Material and a Remo-strance will Pro-
badly be Handed Misunderstood that
Another Petition Is being Circulated in
Favor of Anything but Macadam.

Another attempt is to be made to
get Rector street paved. A petition
to that effect was read at the meeting
of the Board of Aldermen last night.
The petition asks that macadam be
the material used. The former
attempts have been in the interest OF
wooden block. The petition will take
the usual course. 1t is understood
that many property. owners are opposed
to maca0am and that a remonstrance,
literally signed, will be presented at
the required time.
There seems to be a desire along
Rector street to get a pavement.
There are but verv few property own
ers who declare that the present con-
dition of the thoroughfare is good
enough. The great trouble seems to
be in the selection of the material.
The petition for wooden pavement had
numerous signers but was thrown out
by q solid front of property owners
between Smith and Market street, to.
gether with several owners south OF
Market street. The new petition for
macadam was headed by Joseph M.
Perrine, of the Perrine- Buckelew
Company.
In the face of this petition it is
understood that Frederick Seaman is
working in the interest of petition
ter have the street paved with any
material excepting macadam.

MANY FIRMS WOULD
J FURNISH APPARATUS.
Bids we're Opened Meeting of Boad of Alderman Last Ngh-
Various Prices Gven--DMer according to the Style and Con-
strvction- Aldermen Meet Tomorrow Night

The long looked-for bids for the
purchase of fire apparatus were opened
at the meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night and, after a recess to
consider them, it was decided to meet
again tomorrow night to award the
contracts.
The bids were for new truck, one
hose carriage and two combination
wagons. Bids were received from
seven firms. Their prices varied
according to the style and material
used in constructing the different
apparatus. Trucks with seven ladders
rugged for horses could be bought for
81 200. The Rex Fire Distinguishing
Company has three styles OF trucks.
One was for 81, $50 which had steel
frame. Small ones could be bought
! for 81, $50, and another without the
steering gear for 81, 500.
An ordinary hose wagon can be
pught for $500 from this same firm.
hey will sell two combination wagons
81, 800 each. The @. N. Perkins
will furnish a hose wagon for
$4OO The style of apparatus deter
mines the cost and the aldermen now
have to decide which style is most
lsuited to the needs of Perth Ambov
Ind will purchase accordingly.
At the meeting last night number
bf fiiemen, including Chief Comings,
was in the audience and watched the
proceedings with interest The fire.
men are anxious to get the best there
is to be had and the aldermen will
doubtless endeavor to do this. Those
who visited Harrison recently are very
much in favor of purchasing wagons
similar to those in use there and it is
probable that that style of carriage
will be adopted. They have quantity
of hose, chemical tank and two or
three short ladders.
The Fire Committee was also in
strHeted to advertise for plans and
specifications for the two new fire
houses which are to be erected. The
roofs of Lincoln Hose and Protection
Hook and Ladder Building will be
painted and put in proper condition.

New Brunswick, Aug. 4-Director
Asbury Fountain, at the regular
August meeting of the Board of Free
holders, here tomorrow will make a
statement in connection with the re-
cent presentment made by the grand
Jury in which his name is connected
to large extent. He said recently to
a representative of the Evening News
that at this meeting he would tell the
board what he had to say upon the
matter
Not only has he been placed in a
rather distasteful light as result of
the presentment, but recent article
in the Newark News has added to the
fire which the grand jury kindled as
a result of their investigation. The
fact that the director of the board is
declared to have used his position as
agent for big book concern to mani
pulate county affairs, such claim
being made of late, has brought him
a rather unsavory reputation if all
accounts are true.
At this meeting action upon the
recent road contracts awarded, which
have been held to be irregular by
Justice Fort, will be taken and new
bids will be asked for.

he has learned it is against the Union

on the proposed change.
