Last Night il Was Decided 10 Amend the Re-
solution and Insert the First Ward Site Re-
quest--Wi Probably go Through

At special meeting, held last
night, the Board of Education
amended the resolution pass ed some
time ago, asking for $780, for n
school in King street. The resolution
now provides for school in Paterson

resolution had been approved by the
Board of Estimate. and, as amended,

their approval, before the City Coun
oil is asked for the money.
The amend ing of this resolution is
a signal victory for the residents of
the first ward, south of Gordon street.
who numerously signed a petition
asking that the new building be
erected in that section of the city,
rather than in King street.
The clerk was authorized to advor-
tise for bids for building tho addition
to school No. 4. He was also ordered
to advertise for bids for furnishing

WRECK OF THE
HOKEY-POKEY.
Gay COIOYed Umbrella TraiIed in
the Dust as Cart
Upset.
HORSE. RAN AWAY.
Dashed up Smith Street AID In Turning
into State Street Took Wide Turn
and Caught the HOkey. Pokey Man Un-
awar.s Lies Rushing Busiae' but
that was Too Fast for Him.

A horse belonging to DR.. Frank @.
Henry ran away shortly after If
O'Clock this morning and did consid-
cradle damage before it reached it's
stable, where it finally brought up.
Tho horse, hitched to light run
about, was standing in front of n
store in SIN .th street, several doors
west of High street. 1t became fright
ened, it is thought, at n passing troll
Icy Car and started off ut record
breaking pace. The young man driver,
who was sitting in the carriage, was
unable to check the animals speed,
and was thrown out and dragged a
short distance. He was not seriously
hurt, however.
The light vehicle swerved from side
to side and one wheel was broken off
and all but three spokes i'll it smashed.
At State street the horse, with the
carriage dangling behind, ran straight
for the hokey -pokey cart at the south
west corner. There was sounding
crash as the two came together, and
the horse fell. lie quickly rose to his
feet and dashed with undiminished
speed to his stable, in the rear of DR..
Henry's residence at State and Mark
OF streets.
Meanwhile crowd had gathered to
witness the effects of the catastrophe
to the hokey pokey cart, which had
been knocked over on its side so that
the vari-colored umbrella, with
which it was surmounted, dragged in
tho dust. Crackers, waters and paste
board receptacles for the hokey -pokey
were scattered over the road in inter-
minable confusion. The ice cream
itself, being in n can, escaped simi-
lar fate.

BAD BREAK IN WATER
MAIN MADE TROUBLE.
Burns Kept Busy Answering the
Telephone at Police Headquarter Telling Why
the Water Does Not Flow as Freely as Usual
Working on Leak.

Buzz-z.ing-ng-g.gl "Is this 25n,
City Hall?" eyes" "Is Mr.. Burns
there?" Eyes. Joe! hey joel some
ono wants to speak to you on tho
phone. All right, hold the wire a
minute" Hello! Ye-e-s-s! this
is Mr.. Burns. Yes, Superintendent
Burns, of the Water Department. Yes.
l know. Well try to fix you up some
time today We had bad break in
the pipo near Pardee's yesterday and
we We been working on it ever since.
It's pretty BAD break, but we'ro try
ing to get it fixed as quick as possible.
What that? No. wa haven't been
able to get it fixed yet. Goodbye. :"
This little tragedy with slight
variations, was enacted so often this
morning that the hook which holds
the telephone receiver, at Police
Headquarters, squeaked for mercy.
1t was all due to the fact that so
many people were complaining that
they could get hardly any water in
their houses and places of business.
The reason for this was that bad
break occurred in the main near the
9. Pardee Works yesterday morning.
1t was necessary to insert n new
sleeve or section in the pipe and tho
work occupied great deal of time.
The pumps at Eagleswood wero start
ed to work, but a feeble pressure re-
sulted and the lack of water yesterday
and this morning about town has been
extremely inconvenient In case of n
fire the city would have been in n
sorry plight.
The break was repaired nbout noon
and the pressure is now about normal.
