A week from tonight the men who
have for months past been boring the
Watching Mountain for the tunnel

supply from Boonton, will be clear

lining to finish.
The total length OF the tunnel is z.
400 feet, and of the lining part of the
work, 800 feet Of that distance has al
ready been finished When that is done
practically the hardest part of the vast
work to give Jersey City a new supply
is out effthe way.
Work on the dams-the main dam and
that at Parsippany--is going along te
the satisfaction Of the engineers who are
NATURALLY gratified at the rapid work OIL

has superintendent the work from its com
menceinent, and the supervising engineers
are saying all sorts of nice things about
the manner of construction. Every fooi
of tine tunnel has been carefully built OF
the best materials procupable.

The Rev. William johnson. a colored
clergyman. who lives i'll Hoboken, called
upon Justice of the Peace O'Keefe, of
that city, several weeks ago and asked
him If lfe could keep a secret The JUS
tice said he thought he could, and the
parson unburdened himself He had
read in the newspapers. he said, of how
the Justice frequently had to deal with
violators of the game laws, and from
time to time confiscated game. He would
be exceedingly obliged, he said, if the
Justice would save for him the next left
hind feet Of any rabbit that fell in to his
hands
0'keefe. promised to do 50, and the
secret would probstb.y have never been
divuIged but for the fact that one of his
clerks overheard the conversation,
The next day vio.ator of the game
laws was arraigned Eefore the Justice
He had three rabbits in his game bag,
which were confscated O'Keefe re-
moved the hind legs and was saving
them for the parson when the clerk
made public the compact
When the parson was seen about the
matter last night he refused to discuss
it in any way.
The Justice was equally reticent and
threatened to make it warm for the per-
son who was giving out secrets of his
court.

met ROUGH SEA
Hamburg American Liner
Pennsylvania Has a
Hard But Inter-
esting Trip. i

The Hamburg-American liner Pennsyl-
vania spoke the st. Louis On January H.
The st. Louis sent word that her boilers
We're leaking, and that she not making
more than eight knots an hour. The
st. Louis sent word that her boilers were
leaking, and that she was not making
more than eight knots an hour. The
Pennsylvania arrived at her dock in Ho-
boken this morning.
Captain Spliedt, her commander, says
he offered to tow the st. Louis to port,
but the offer was declined. The st.
Louis said that there was enough pro-
visions and water on board to last eight
more days, and that as no alarm was
felt among the passengers, she would
continue 10 make port under her own
steam.
The Pennsylvania three days later ran
across the distressed Norwegian bark
Siggen. The bark was encompassed by
icebergs and her mainmast was shatter-
ed. Smedges, her Morse skipper, want
ed the Pennsylvania to tow her to port.
Captain Spliedt was afraid, however, to
take the bark in tow, as the weather
had become so rough and so much ice
being encountered that he feared he
would endanger his own craft Smedges
finally concluded to abandon the bark,
and was brought to port on the Penn
sylyania with his hardy crew of twelve
men. The all looked like Vikings, and
said they would never think of abandon
ing the bark had it not been for the ie.
They brought the small boats of the
craft with them.
The Pennsylvania also passed two
abandoned crafts before she sighted the
Sandy Hook Lightly Early yesterday
morning she saw red painted bargs out
side the Hook and steamed towards it.
No one was on the barge, and the Penn
sylvania was continuing on her way to
port when she encountered another
barge 1t was impossible to read the
name on either. Captain Spliedt said
that the voyage was one of the roughest
he had made in years.
''We had high seas as, soon as we were
a day out from Hamburg, and continued
to have tearing weather until we reached
the Hook" he said. There was an un-
usual number of ice foes. and great care
had to be exercised, We're three xiays
late in reaching port, but under the cir
cumstaneess made good time
When told that the st. Louis had
been reported from Fire Island, Captain
Spliedt was very much interested.
'.She made excellent time" he said.
Il didn't expect to hear from her again
before another day. We brought let
ters from her. master to the owners, and
the Captain thought he would not get to
port before Sunday s5i

exhaustive argument from able council,
the famous Hit case closed today and
Vice Chancellor Stevenson said that he

sade avenue, and given to Adrian Hit
the inventor and champion walker from
Brooklyn Bridge and San Francisco and
back iii 200 days, was declared spurious

by Mrs. Thompson, but that is not con-
tested as to its signature.

the case that Hit will get the $4,000
note but not the other.
Messrs. James B. Vredenbergh and
Isaac 8. Taylor represented DIR. W. w.
Yarick, administrator of Mrs. Thompson's IS
estate, and Messrs. r. Lawrence and

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE
Policeman Disoovefs Stream Flow
ing Unde- Doors of a Vacant House

No. 641 West Side avenue is vacant
house. Up to couple of weeks ago it
was occupied by Mr.. and Mrs Fanning
Chiffon, but Mr.. Chiffon has gone to
Fishkill and the house is ITO Let"
Therefore, at an early hour this morning
the policeman on his beat was surprised
to see water oozing out between tile
boards on the lower floor and flowing
out in steady streams under the doors.
He was about to force an entrance when
the noise awoke the sole occupant Of the
house, relative who is visiting the agent
who lives in a small house near by.
The appearance of man in hasty attire.
armed as though in search of burglar,
nearly keeled the bluecoat over and his
hand instinctively went to his hip pocket.
Both thought there were tramps about.
and had it not been for the cooling eff
feet Of the water through which they
had to wade, hot time might have en-
sued. AS it was the man in slight attire
had time to explain who he was and the
|agent asfwe,l as the neighbors were called
in to establish his identity and turn off
the water, left running as a precaution
against freezing.
Just how much damage has been done
has not yet bene learned. The owner, a
Mr.. oDwns, who lives out of town, will
be notified today, and will doubtless say
things when he arrives on the scene.
1nere was over a foot Of water ON the
lower floor this morning and about three
feet in the cellar, where it had leaked
through the ceilings. Hereafter the wa
ter will be shut off until the next rent
paying tenant arrives.

BURNED HIS TROUSERS
Strange Conduct of Tramp in the
Oaklsnd Avenue Station.

The smell of something like the smell
of burning rags accompanied with smoke
caused some little excitement by the men
ON duty at the Oakland avenue station
the fact that Victor Peyoe, vagrant
who had been arrested yesterday in the
Seventh Precinct had in some manner
found match and had pulled his trous-
ers off and set them on fire.
They were burning slowly when the
fire was discovered it was not cold that
prompted the act, as his cell was reason
ably warm. The man acted as though
he was ''dopey.' Another old pair of
trousers were secured for him, and after
arraignment in the Second Criminal
Court this morning he was sent to the
county jail for thirty days.
