The Jasper Business Mems Asso.
citation was organized to look after
and secure, if possible, the best in
terests of the town. No interest APP
plies more directly TO prospective
settlers than does good thorough
fares. No up-to-date corporation
now puts down limestone streets,
with their concomitant dust and
filth, scattering germs of disease,
and the every seasons necessity Tor
large expenditures for repairs. Be
fore Il is too late the b. NJ. \. through
its executive committee should OBJ
tain from Hochgesang Bros. a writ
ten agreement to furnish clean, hard
brick for the streets proposed To be
improved. at seven dollars PEI
thousand, in such quantity as may
be needed, and then 90 before the
town trustees with this agreement,
and urge that the specifications for
the proposed Improvements, should
be changed, 80 as 70 call ior soou
foundation and brick streets instead
of limestone, and that the contract
be let for brick streets with Hoch-
gesang's brick. In this way the i'm
provement, if only made 80 feet
wide, will probably cost no more
than under the present specifications
with the dust producing and un-
healthful lime stone top dressing.
The B. NJ. A. can thus demon
strate its interest and value to the
people OF Jasper, who want good
streets, and the best to be had fol
their money.
Try it, gentlemen.

Boonto6, N. j., April 13.-WiIliam
Hoar, diver from New York. who was
imprisoned in 20 feet OF water in the
Jersey City reservoir here Monday.
has been given up for dead by other
divers who had come to aid. in res
cuing him. The divers worked until,
under the influence of the high wind.
the waves on the lake caused the raft
on which the air pump rested to pitch
SO that it was impossible longer to
supply the men below with air. Then
the pump was removed to the stone
dam, and on the possibility that Hoar
is still alive air is still being sent
down to him.
Hoar was sent here on Monday from
New York to close an intake pipe in
the lake. To close the pipe, the gate
OF which was not working properly, a
ball OF wood and lead, nine feet in
diameter. had been lowered In front
OF the opening. Still the water con-
tinued to flow through the pipe in al
most as great volume as before.
Hoar went dow Monday afternoon
to place the ball In proper position,
and his left leg became caught be-
tween the pipe and the ball. All eff
forts to release him failed, although
the work of the rescuers was contin-
ued until last night

No Ships at Newchwanu.


Newchwang, April 13-Prior to the
departure of the British gunboat Es-
piegle, which has been stationed here
during the winter, M. Crosse. civil ad-
ministrator of Newchwang, visited the
warship officially. The civil admins
traitor and Russian local authorities
afterward waited on the esplanade
along the water front while the gun
boat steamed by on her way down the
river. This official ceremony was in
recognition of the cordial relations
which have existed between officers
OF the Espiegle and the Russian au-
thorities during the stay of the gun
boat at Newchwang.
The detention of the Espiegle after
the time originally set for her de-
parture Is understood to indicate the
unqualified acceptance by Great Bri-
tain of the establishment by the Rus
slams of martial law at Newchwang
and to indicate Great Britains agree
ment to the plan for protection of
British interests here during the war.
The departure of the Espiegle re-
moves a cause of embarrassment to
the Russian authorities and enables
them to put into execution a system
Of martial law consistent with the de
mands of the situation. The Espiegle
was the last foreign warship at New
chwang. the United States gunboat
Helena having left here some 10 days
ago.
The last of the merchant steamers
has left Newchwang, and the shipping
companies have notified their agents
to send no more vessels here. conse-
quently it is expected that hencefor-
ward commerce will be practically at
q standstill.
