There is Etill some slight talk of the
appointment not being warranted, but,
in view of the City Attorneys opln-
ion. the talk must soon die natural
death.
While the manner in which the ap-
pointments were made might have
been little moro in keeping with the
dignity of the council chamber, still
it WINS the only way in which they
could be confirmed. Tho new police
mon are now on duty and the city
approaches nearer to having adequate
police protection than ever before.

and now that the old scale is in
force again they are we'll supplied and
the work on the local docks is very
slack, most of the men working only
three days week, anu some of fhem
not getting even as much time rs that.
An old employe told News reporter

probably pick up by September lst.

Both Prosecutor and Counsel for Defense
for their Action.
CARMANDY RELEASED.

New Brunswick, Aug 3--Paul Ma
tos who yesterday suddenly ended the
murder trail in which he was chrnRel
with the killing of Sigmund Macy by
pleading guiityand receiving sen.
.tsncalef l0.years in states prison. the
limit under the law for the crime,
will start the serving Of his sentence
tomorrow. Frank Carmandy, who was
held in jail rs a witness against Matos
was released yesterday aftereoon and
received witness fees amounting to $67
for the 1874 days he was in Jail.
In his opening Lawyer Cowenhoven
asserted .tI,at Carmandy had been kept
in iail secreted there for the state and
was in fact he very one who did the
deed and was trying to lay it at the
hands of Matos. The witnesses for
the defense, however. failed to make
good and at the noon recess it was ap,-
D rent that upon the testimony of Ma
to, alone would have to depend the
cIiief evidence for defence. Then
Lawyer Cowenhoven conferred with
his client and made the offer to plead
guilty which the Prosecutor accepted.
Justice Fort said both sides had
taken wise course in changing and
accepting the plea of manslaughter as
the court would have had to have di-
rect the Jury not to bring in YER
dict for murder in the first degree.
The court was satisfied Matos had
made the confession as the officers
and Recorder said and Matos by his
plea had escaped q conviction DO sibly
of murder in the second degree. The
court praised both Lawyer Cowenhov-
en- and the Prosecutor for their action
in the matter.
In addressing Matos when pronounce
ing sentence the court said he was in
toxicated whom he committed the
deed and to that alone he owed his
present position. He was doubtless
guilty and had confessed. HIS intox-
ication was no excuse for his crime
and having pleaded guilty to man.
slaughter he could expect nothing
further from tho court.
The full penalty was then imposed.

MAY DRIVE TWO MORE.

Contractor Kisner has struck water in
driving the fourth of the new wells at
Runyon. He has reached depth of 260
feet, and may go a slight distance fur
ther. The flow already gives promise of
being excellent. This well went little
deeper than the first three, the deepest
of which Is 246 feet.
This is the last new we'll to be driven
now, according to the present plans, but,
at tonight's meeting, the Board of Water
Commissioners may decide TO have two
more driven. That would make six new
ones, and total of sixteen wells in all,
at Runyon. This is the number deemed
necessary for the present, by the engineer
of the board, az contained in his report at
the last meeting.
Steps will probably be shortly taken
towards the perfection of the siphon sys-

At tonight's meeting, also, the engineer
is expected tohave ready the plans for the

She has also established a trade
among fashionable women through the
aid of her former well-to-do friends.

A woman in Philadelphia supported

these pursuits and the prices paid for
work were correspondingly low. soon

must discover some field of my own,
which was not filled with experienced
workers.

lying soiled and discarded beneath a
pile of soap boxes at the grocery store
one morning, that gave me my inspira-

Father and mother had gone out, leav-
