The latest and best thing known
in mineral circles is the great dis
covery of lead at the Ada-Flor-
ence, which belongs to the Louis
Vile Marion Mining Co. 1t is re-
ported around that the largest vein
Of lead that has ever been struck
in this district is in the bottom of
the Ada-Florence shaft, the ore
sssaying SO per cent galena. Mr..
Whitehouse, Secretary and Treas
urer Of the company, came to Ma
rion from Louisville about four
months ago and visited all the
mines in the district, in the CON-
pany of a representative of a
pump and machinery supply house
He asked a great many ques
tions of the mine Superintend-
dents as to the character of their
ores, the width of veins, etc, sup
posedly to determine what kinds
of machinery. theylwould need; he
acted very green" around the
mines and appeared not to know
anything about a mine, except as
to the machinery required In their
operation. The next thing we
heard of Mr.. Whitehouse he
"bobbed, up" as the owner of
one half interest in the Ada-Flo-
renee mine, which he had pur-
chased from Messrs Persons and
Gray while here, and he didn't
have any machinery to sell, unless
he bought it in himself
The next green looking fellow
to come along was Harry Watkins
who bought Mr., George Gray's in
terest inIthe 4 new company, con
sisting of Is shares; he said al
the time that it was probably not
much good but thought The coulc
risk the investment This com
psny's stock has jumped from
about $500 to above par, will
none offered.
1t would appear that Messrs
White house and Watkins mus
have had an X.ray to enable then
to see what was down there. Still
waters run deep and likewise tn,

REFERRED TO ATTORNEY
70 ty-eIghi Signatures to the Remonstrance
Which was Accomp MED by a Copy Of
Part of the Franchise Granted the Troll
ley Compan by the City-People Loud
In Their Complaint.

That there is a determined opposition
to the shuttle car on Smith street from
State street to the ferry was demonstrated
last night when remonstrance was pre-
scented to the Board of Aldermen against
the new system and asking the Council
to take some action to have the practice
discontinued. The remonstrance was
headed by William II. Mccormick, whose
name was followed by forty-seven others,
showing the united opposition to the plan.
The remonstrance was accompanied by a
copy of part of the franchise granting the
trolley company permission to use the
streets. The matter was referred to the
city attorney.
The complaints Of the public are becom-
ing louder every day. The service is
abomlnsble and the Public Service will
doubtless hear more of 1t before long.

Tottenville, Aug. 23:-David Sands,
thirty-five years old, of Brooklyn, who
is visiting his brother-in-law Captain
Raymond Ellis, of the ferryboat Warren,
in this place, met with a peculiar acci-
dent yesterday afternoon, when out in
a power boat, by having his right arm
caught In the fly wheel of the engine and
the muscles nearly torn out.
At O'Clock Mr.. Sands went to the
Acker Motor Works, at the foot of Bent
ley street and started for trip along the
sound in the launch XXI, owned by
t?earsol'and Delaport.
Everything went along smoothly, until
he was passing Sea Breeze, where he
thought he would make a stop for short
time. He sent the launch alongside Of
the floating dock, but it did not seem to
make the landing, TIL t he wanted, so he
stopped the engine, and when he tried to
start it again the fly wheel suddenly
kicked back, and Mr.. Sands right arm
was so close that the muscles were caught
and horribly torn.
The pain was so great that the injured
'mau, II is said, jumped overheard, ana
.zIried.to drown himself, and would have
succeeded had not power boat, contain
ing three young men come along at that
time, and picked him up. They took him
to the tent of a number of campers, near
by, where bandage was put on the in
iured arm, and he was taken to Totten-
vile, where DIR. Coleman, dressed the
wonnd. On the trip 10 Tottenville, it is
said, the men had all they could do,
to prevent Sands from jumping over
board again, because of the pain.
1t is an ugly wound, and this morning
MIR. Sands, was taken to DR.. Wilson, of
High street, Perth Amboy in an effort to
save the arm, and to prevent blood poison
from setting in.

This somewhat revised version of the
old verse in regard to the Father Of His
Country may well be applied to the statue
of the immortal George which stands at
the northern end Of City Hall Park.
It's condition has, for some time past,
made the statue an eyesore and menace.
and, yesterday afternoon, to render the
statue more of an effigv, the iron sword,
which the General has clasped In his hand
for the past eight years, fellto the ground,
and now his hand, or rather the stump Of
his wrist, is extended, as If for hand
shake
For several years, the statue which is OF
terra Gotta, has shown signs of general
debility, until now, the General has a
stripe down each trouser leg, formed BY
a crack, and in like manner, his suit Is
decorated, In many places, by cracks
and Clipped spots, of various lengths and
Sizes
A little girl, who was playing in the
park, saw the heavy sword fall, and land
inside the railing which surrounds the
base of the statue. A News reporter, who
was nearby, picked tue sword up, and /
gave 1t into the keeping ef--'lsl e e - - cifre
Burke, who now guards the sacred relic.
Something should be done to remedy
the condition Of the statue and aid to
carry out the purpose of the Scandinavian
residents of the city who presented It to
the municipality In 1896.

The Progressive Spirit
Which Has Marked the
City's $ Advancement
During the Last Few
Years is Halted Under
the Leadership Of Al
derman Stacey.

Political play. to the injury of the
citys best interests continued at the
adjourned meeting of the Board of
Aldermen, last night. Alderman
Smith, who has been absent for some
timo, on n trip west. was present and
Alderman Staotys majority was in
working order once more. Alderman
Runyon was absent. Before the
meeting adjourned the minutes of the
meeting for August 1, which had been
unepproved, were.nmended, the action
of the board confirming the Mayor
appointments for three policemen had
been rescinded, the three new names
were ordered stricken from the pdy
roll and the other policemen wore
ordered paid
The machinery was in good working
order. Alderman Stacey held the
strings. When Mr.. Pfeiffer called the
session to order, he announced that
the minutes of the previous meeting
had not been approved. He then look
ed at Mr.. Stacey, who was to movo
next There was not hesitation.
II move the minutes of the last
meeting be read in full" said Mr.
Stacey.
1t was then Mr.. Schultz s turn and
he took his part well, II second the
motion, he declared, and Mr.. Pfeiffer
instructed tho clerk to proceed. Then
for the first time in several years, the
clerk read the minutes of the previous
meeting in full,
At the conclusion of tue reading Mr..
Stacey moved that the council recon.
slider the clause which confirmed the
police appointments made by the
Mayor. .
"I second the notion" said Mr..
Schultz, showing that everything was
still in good working order.
At this point Alderman Donovan
arose to point of order declaring
that such motion could be made
only by one who had voted in the
affirmative onl.the original motion.
MIR. Stacey was ready for this, how
ever, and he prom pity replied that
Mr.. Donovan's point was not accord
ing to Oushing's manual, land that is
what we go by here," he continued.
= Mr.. Pfeitfer ruled that the motion
was in oruer and it was passed. Alder
men Stacey, Smith, Schultz and
Pfeitfer voting in the affirmative and
Donovan and loft in the negative.
Mr.. Stacey then moved that the
clause be stricken from the minutes
and the matter be referred back to the
police committee. This was adopted
by the same vote.
There was also little tilt over
ordering the warrants drawn for the
policemen IS pay. An effort was made
to ring in q new list of salaries in the
place of the one presented by the cliief
of police, but this "grab" was little
too bold ana Alderman Donovan de-
manded to know what right the comp
troller had to make out the police pay
rolls The outcome was, the chief q
pay roll was taken up and, by the
"hig tour vote the names of the three
new policemen were stricken off and
the others were ordered paid.
Chief Burke said this morning that
he did not intend to take the men of
the force. He said the Mayor was
the head of the police department and
it was uD to him.
Mayor Seaman, this morning, re-
fused to talk until he had received
some official notice of what took place
at the meeting.
