One If IT Will be Cared for.

The need of an ambulance in this
city was shown to striking advantage
yesterday when the workman injured
atSt. Mary's church:was waiting for the
ambulal @, from the Raritan Copper
Works. The ambulance reached the
scens of the accident in remarkably
quick time, considering the distance,
but the time occupied in bringing an
ambulance from stable in q central
location would have been but frao-
tion of the other.
1t has been known for sometime
that an offer has been talked OF by a
certain gentleman. but not formally
made, to present an amb ulance to the
city.
Speaking on this point, a promin'
ent local physician said: II have
heard that a certain man would be
willing to tender the gift of an ambu
lance if he felt sure that the munici
pality would accept, stable AMI care
for it. An ambulance is undoubtly
needed in this citv.

Macadam Which has
Just Been Laid

The Board of Water Commissioner
last night, approved the report of the
committee appointed to buy water

but five acres at Runyon, the extent
OF the purchase, and the remarkably
low price can be appreciated. The

mostly marshy, and the present tract
of five acres adjoins it. 1t takes in
TERRITORY on both sides, of Tenant q
Greek. A member of the board said
that one half of the land would be
sufficient for some time to come, but

to supply this city for many years to
come. Added to the large tract is a
purchase of twelve adjacent acres,
which are bought from Frank P. Nc.
Dermott for 5000, making the total
price 81, 900. The five acres at present
owned by the city cost $1,000, which,

MORE DETAILS OF FALL.

John Warwick, the man taken to
the city hospital yesterday, after be-
ing hurt at St. Mary's R. q. church,
! as told in the News, died there about
O'Clock yesterday afternoon within
less than two hours after ing taken
to that institution.
Mrs. Warwick, his wife, with a
three-year-old child, arrived in this
city at o'clock this morning, having
been apprised of the accident. She
was taken to her husbands former
boarding place on Fayette street.
Warwick was about forty five years
old.
AS told in yesterdays News, WAL
wick and John Dover, who died in
stantIy, both skaters, fell frem q
broken soaffolding ON the peak of the
roof of ST. Mary 8 now church, Center
and Mechanic streets, distance OF
seventy three feet, TO the ground.
They were standing on plank which
rested at each end on V.shape hrrc-
kcts, technically known asi figures. :"
According to Edward Stretch ana
Andrew Rogers, fellow -workmen who
were working on a plank nearby,
these, figures are supported by
E"ttwenty-penny spike" or bolts driven
lintp wooden beams which hold up the
outer covering of felt and states. On
the plank with the men was four
hundred pounds weight of roofing
states.
The upper roof of the church is built
at very sharp angle. The slant is
so acute that it is only fow points
from the perpendicular. Those en-
ployed on the work say that this pro-
bably caused the bolts supporting tn
brackets to slip out
without a moments warning the
figures gave way, and the plank,
with it's heavy load of slate, shot
rapidly to earth. Warwick and Dover,
shrieking wildly, desperately clutched
the slippery slates already Get in
place.
Unable to keep their hold they
simultaneously slid little way upon
their face down the steep roof. Iii
their descent they tore of a numte
of states.
They turned over, struggling brave
lily to save themselves. Then thoy
rolled from the slippery roof. fell
upon an extension thirty feet blow,
and bounded thence forty three feet
further TO tho ground. They struck
within foot Of each other, landing
on pile of states standing on end.
Fellow-workmen said yesterday that
no one could be held accountable for
the accident, as Warwick himself was
in charge of the roofing work, and 1t
was he who fixed the figures" or
brackets, the faulty adjustment OF
which caused his and Dover's death.
