EMPTYING SEWERS IN THE SOUND.

While the longshoremen are still: discussing the rapidly with
which a mans body hoated to the mouth of the Raitan river from
Elzabethport, having drifted twelve miles in about eight hours, it
might be well to consider the elaborate system of sewerage which is
being constructed in the northern section of the State and emptying in
t. the sound near Ehzabethport.
In the first place, the fact that this mans body hoated to the Rari-
tan bay from Elzabethport in the remarkable short time of eight hours,
proves without a doubt that the tide carries everything from Newark
bay and E1izabethport in this direction and can carry it quickly, too.
With the Passaic river already an open sewer draining the cities of
Paterson and Passaic and with Newark emptying her filth into the bay,
it all unites to flow through the sound towards this city. Add to this
the new truck sewer which is now about completed, draining South
Orange, West Orange, Irvington, Milburn, Vaisburgh, Summit, and
Roselle Park aslweu IS a portion of Newark and Elizabeth, and we
have the sewage of all the towns and cities of North Jersey practical
ly dumped at oar door. If a dead body can float down the sound in
eight hours, this deposit can do the same. 1t would seem that the
time has come to look into this matter seriously and ascertain what the
result will be and how much this evil is likely to increase in the future.
oss" " of this State have thousands of dollars invested in oysters
and oSA Egedsin RaTtan bay. Is the State to allow these to be
ruinedf Already complaint has been heard about the Rartan bay oy
sters. How long does the State expect the industry to prosper when
the entire sewage Of the northern part of'the State can reach the
water i'll which these bivalves grow, within eight hours after it is
dumped into the sound? The oyster Industry is not the only sufferer,
but it is sufficient to urge Middesex ard monmouth counties to unite
in its protest and ascertain just how far one section of the State can go
in destroying the property and business of the people in another section.

Mr.. ROCKS RESIGNATION.

Trolley patrons in this vicinity read with much regret that w. G.
Rock will reinqush the management of the local trolley line. During
the years the line has been in existancesi it has maintained a standard Of
excellence which has been a model for other roads. While towns and
cities in all sections of the State were crying for better accommodations,
the Raritan Traction Company continued its policy of having every
thing the best and it has been admitted by experienced trolley people to
be the best managed and best equipped road, in proportion to its size,
Of any line i'll the State.
While tits true Mr.. Rock could not have maintained this excellence
if he had not a company back of him ready to do all in it's power to
please the public, yet those who have seen the superintendent working
long past midnight on rush days or have seen him out at d o'clock on
cold winter morning making the first trip with the snow pillow in order
that traffic might begin on time and continue on schedule, know that
the present condition Of the local trolley line is largely due to his un-
firing energies. The Raritan Traction Company and all connected
Herewith have lived up to every agreement and exerted every effort TO
do the right thing at all times. We can ask no better of their success
ors than that they shall do as WELL atr

ANOTHER POLL IN wooDBR IDGE TOWNSHIP.

The voters of Woodbridge township who reside in the Fords and
Keasbey section, are justified in trying to secure a polling place in that
locality. There is a large settlement in those places, especially along
the Raritan river and it would seem to be an injustice to compel the
men to walk or drive across the township to the village of Woodbridge
in order to enjoy the privilege accorded every American citizen. 1t i
very probable that the several miles to the polling place has prevented
many a man from voting.
For a township the size of Woodbridge it would seem the polling
places should be more scattered. 1t extends from Carteret on the Stat
en- Island sound to Keasbey on the Raritan River forming the entire
northern and western boundary of this city. Carteret already has a
polling place and the town of Woodbridge has two, yet all three Of
these might be considered at the northern end leaving that ever grow
ing settlement at the southern end without a poll There is justice in
The demands of the South Side Good Government Club and it hardly
EMS possible that they can fail in their object.

EARTH TRENBLED.
New England Shaken In All
Sections by Earthquake.
HARVARD NOTED THREE SHOCKS
Buildings Were Rocked, Chimneys
Tumblel, windows and Dishes
RrOken-The Bar HarbOr Fire
Bell Was Sounded.

BOSTON, March s22.-Al of eastern
New England, with Boston as a cen
ter, have been at work tracing the eff
fects of an earthquake that shook this
region soon after l a. m. yesterday,
bringing city and country folk out of
their Eeds and doing considerable dam
age to buildings.
Detailed reports indicate that the
earthquake shock was felt in nearly
all sections of New England and in
the province of Ncw Brunswick. The
exteDt and severity Of the disturbance,
astronomers say, make it the most re-
m9rsable in twenty years.
The motion of the earth was most
violent apparently in eastern Maine,
where from three to seven distinct
shocks We're felt. Bar Harbor noted
seven shocks of q violence sufficient
to cause the fire alarm bell to strike
several times. Calais, Me-, reported
that buildings were rocked so as to
shake pictures from the walls. From
this point to Hartford, Conn, nclud-
ing all parts of New Hampshire and
Vermont. as well as Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, the trembling of the
earth vas noted.
At Harvard observatory three shocks
were noted. The direction of the
earth's movement was not recorded by
the instruments. Professor E. C. Pick
ering, head of the observatory, with a
corps of assistants, is studying the
PHENOMENON.
Professor Pickering made the follow
ing statement:
about all that we could do was eS-
innate the duration of the disturbance.
We found that the shock started at n
hour four minutes and ten seconds aft
err midnight and that it lasted several
seconds. There were two strong shocks
and a third lighter vibration. The
strong shocks were greater in some re-
spects than any earthquake l ever ex-
perienced.'
The earthquake rocked buildings
here, tumbled chimneys over and caus-
cd many windows to be broken.
AT Augusta, Me-, ehimneys were
shaken down and crockery smashed.
In Boston the trembling of the earth
lasted several seconds and frightened
many people. Dishes were thrown
from shelves, and many chlmneys were
knocked down.
The rattle of the dishes and the
noise of the falling chimneys caused
alarm, and telephone operators in the
exchanges were kept busy answering
inquiries from anxious subscribers.
The earthquake shocks are said by
officials of the Harvard observatory to
have been the most severe experienced
in this section of the country since the
memorable seismic disturbance of 1884.
The earth a were very percepti-
BILE. In the Photographic darkroom of
the observatory the water tanks, which
were nearly filled, were shaken to such
an extent that u considerable quantity
of water fell upon the floor.
a number of windows were broken
in Cambridge, and one man declares
that his wife was thrown from her bed
by the shock.
At Worcester people were aroused
by a distinct jar of their homes and a
rumbling sound. They called newspa-
per offices by telephone to ask if there
had been an explosion in the city.

A so,itheriy gale came up about noon
yesterday and ragged with undated
fury during the entire afternoon and
evening. The barometer in Weather
Observer Ellis Office took downward
shoot and did not stop until it had
reached 2s.ss. the lowest point marked
for a long time. The extreme low reg
lister was reached about o'clock yes
terday afternoon, and the barometer
then started upwards.
During the morning the bar was
quite smooth and there We're two de-
partures and one arrival between 10
and IL. when the tide was high. The
southerly gale soon put comb on the
bar, and during the remainder of the
afternoon heavy seas rolled in.
The storm centered of the Oregon
coast and blew directly over the city.
At o'clock the North Head observer
reported a blow Of Is miles an hour,
but by s o'clock the wind was bowling
at the rate of between so and 10 miles.
The weather was squally and the mos
quito fleet hugged the wharves.
. So far as was learned last night no
damage resulted to shipping, but 1t Is
probable some of the vessels now on
the way up the coast will lose canvas
in the blew.
