The city's law officers as well as the
Associate Counsel, James B. Vreden-
burgh and Allan L. McDermott have
agreed that law should be passed max
ing the bonds to be issued for the pur-
chase Of the new water plant a first lien
on that property. A resolution to this
effect was prepared for Introduction at
The last meeting of the Board Of Street
and Water Commissioners. It was not
introduced, the members of that body OBJ
jecting because they had not been con-
suited. Perhaps they were justified in
refusing to consider the resolution. 1t
seems, though, that inasmuch as the
Street and Water Board took part in the
conference that resulted in the appoint
ment of Messrs. Vredenburgh and Nc
Dermott as associate counsel in the
water matter, they should be willing to
be guided by their advice. If the lawyers
agree on a proposition regarding the pnl-
chase Of the water plant that ought to
be sufficient for the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners or any other
branch Of the municipal government.
There is to be conference of the law
yers and the Street and Water Commits
sioners and an amicaible understanding
may be reached.

MENTIONED

West Hudson is to have one Of the
parks that the County Park Commits
sioners are going to establish. a fifty
acre tract Of land in Harrison, costing
something like 100000, has just been
purchased for that purpose. 1t is ex-
peeted that it will cost as much more to
improve the land. Hoboken, it is be
lieved, will also get park, 50 it looks
as if the County will be well provided
with breathing places when the Com
missioners have completed their work.

Eleventh Ward Republicans are still
discussing the possibility Of Chairman
Fry refusing to recognize John E. Nc
Arthur as leader Of that ward. 1t is
further said his friends are taking it for
granted that the talk that the County
Chairman has another man picked out
is authoritative. Chairman Fry isn't
saying a word one way or the other.
Not until March will he be called upon
to decide the matter, and it seems to
be his purpose to keep the McArthurites
guessing as to what action he intends
taking. Andrew Knox, one of Near
thurs political rivals, insists that mas
much as the majority of the Republi-
cans of the Eleventh Ward want Nc
Arthur for leader, Chairman Fry should
not object.

Worst Storm of the Season.

The storm which broke over this SEQ
tion of the country Tuesday morning,
continued uninterIuptedly until near
ly noon on Wednesday, then increased
to tenfold fury. In short time the
worst blizzard of the season was rag
ing. AS the wind gathered strength.
mercury dropped several degrees. The
cold penetrated through the clothes Of
the heaviest clad person, and the tre-
mendous gale cut like a knife.
The snow was carried in binding
sheets along the streets. At times one
could not possibly see a dozen yards
ahead, and again people would be COM
pelled to turn their backs to the storm
until the worst had passed. Some por-
tions of the thoroughfares were swept
bare of snow, and others piled high
with the light, feeoy substance.
Goods displayed in front of business
places received the full force of the
blast. Light articles were scattered
along sidewalks; heavier ones covered
with snow. Drifting snow filled the
beatened tracks along the streets, and
made travelling hard.
This was bad enough in town, but
ont in the rural districts, where the
wind had clear sweep for miles and
nothing to break its force, the fury of
the blizzard was much worse. The
lanes and narrows became badly drift
ed and in places impossible.
Passenger trains ON the railroads
passing through this city, notwith-
standing the fury of the gale, managed
to arrive on fairly good time, being
only from 10 to 20 minutes late. If the
blizzard continues, though, the train
men expect to meet with worse OBJ
struotions today than they did yester-
day, in the way Of drifts.

Death of rIartin Kelley.

Martin Kelly,s we'll known resident
of Washingtonville.f fell dead Tuesday
afternoon about 3 o'clock while re-
turning from the grist mill, operated
by his sons, to his home in that bor-
ough. Death was caused by heart dis
ease.
Mr.. Kelly had for several years been
subject to attacks of heart trouble, but
of late had been in quite good health,
so that his sudden death came as a
great shock to his family and many
friends. He was OH his way home from
the grist mill, and had gone only a
short way when he tottered and fell.
He was carried into the hotel and DR..
Hoffa summoned, but he was beyond
human aid, death having been instan-
taneous.
The deceased was born April 10th,
1885 in Liberty township, and spent
the greater part of his life in Montour
county. At one time he lived in Muncy.
About sixteen years ago he purchased
the farm on the Danville- Washington
Vile road, now owned by Mrs. James
Frazier. He removed to Washington
Vile about year ago.
He is survived by his wife and five
children, Mrs. Frank Marks. Miss
Emma Kelly. Jesse and Bruce Kelly,

Shipwreck In Sight of Land.

Harvey Dietrich, proprietor of the
Susquehapna House. South Danville,
and four men employed on the new
bridge found themselves in very un-
pleasant situation for a short time
Monday morning, and to get out of
it. they were compelled to shout loud
ly for assistance.
They STARTED to cross to Danville in
a row boat. The river was filled with
ice at the time. and when the boatmen
were in mid-stream they became sur
rounded by heavy foe. In his efforts
to reach clearer water the boatman
broke one of his oars, and the boat was
carried down stream. Fortunately, it
drifted into the eddy at the third pier,
alongside of which the steersman man
aged to effect landing. 1t happened
that there were no witnesses to the
scene and in consequence, the ship
wrecked sailors had considerable diff
Guilty in attracting the attention of any
body to the situation they were in.
Their shouts failed to bring assistance.
Finally one of the men took off his
coat and waved it in the air as signal
of distress. That, together with re-
newed lusty cries from four strong
throats resulted in attracting the at
tention of the men in charge of one OF
the launches. They FASTENED to the
escue, and soon had the disabled boat
and its occupants landed safely on this
side of the river.

RURAL CARRIERS
WERE DELAYED

The Rural Free Delivery carriers on
the Danville routes had hard time Of
it yesterday. making their rounds
through the drifts. that filled every
gully and cut in the roads.
They were all later than usual in re-
turning from their trips, and reported
the roads in an almost impossible cou-
dition. Que carrier stated that a num-
ber of times he drove through drifts as
high as his horse's back. The carriers
on routes Nos. and across the riv-
er, Bert Mcclure and Clyde Started,
probably experienced the greatest diff
culties. When they had gone over their
routes and returned to the river, they
found the naphtha launch not running
and we're compelled to wait some time
before they could cross to this side.
They arrived at the post office about
three hours late.
The carriers will. in all probability.
experience grester difficulties on their
trips today. and it is even possible that
some districts may not be served with
mail.

1.-The minister's SweetheartS."

The scenes of "The Minister'S Sweet
hearts," q II. Eldon's new comedy,
which will appear at the Opera House
Saturday night are laid iu small
town in Southern Indiana, and the
characters are such as one finds in
such places. The principal role which
is played by Miss Bessie Clifton. is a
gawky, awkward, country girl. Some
of the other characters are the country
store keeper and his gossiping wife,
the up.to date young minister who is
engaged as pastor. but who is not al
lowed to be installed on account of his
broad IN inded views, the richest man
in town and his daughter, who is in
love with the minister, the aunt of the
preacher who has a secret of her own.
the old town marshal, the smart boy,
Old Hoke, the Oldest man in town. the
deputy sheriff, Lucky Jim the tramp.
1t is story of country life. quaint
characters, keen satire and view of
delightful sentiment. The special
scenery for the production is one of
the principal features. Plays of this
class always give satisfaction.

Dangerous to Navigate.

The State of the river yesterday was
more discouraging than ever. The ele-
ments played havoc with the only
means of crossing. One naphtha launch
made trips during the day, but pas
sengers were few indeed. However, it
is doubtfnl if the boats could have
crossed late in the afternoon. The ice
Hoe Increased with great rapidity,g in
ing in size and strength every hour
In the words of an observer, who Wis.
tied the river to make personal in
spection of the situation there. "You
could fairly see the quantity of ice in
creasing in the stream, after the cold
wave struck town. During the last
few hours that the boat crossed another
difficulty was encountered besides the
floating ice. The sudden change from
mild to extreme cold weather, caus-
ed the river to fall very rapidly. Old
residents say that the water is lower at
known it to be during the winter
months. AS result extreme care was
necessary on the part of the boatmen
that. while steering round the ice to
keep in clear water, they didn't collide
against hidden rock. With the double
obstacles to contend with, it took a
clear head and steady nerve to guide
the launch from shore to shore in
safety. That more accidents don t
occur is a miracle.
Should the cold wave continue for
several days. the river, in all probatil-
ity. will close up solid again, that
opinion being strengthened by the fact
of the low stage of water.

Winter at the Hospital.

Upon no set of people is the long
winter harder than the many hundred
insane who are shut up at the Hospit-
al here.
During the summer the condition of
these unfortunate people, deprived of
their liberty, is much improved by
their frequent excursions out of doors.
Winter even of the milder sort carries
with it some restrictions in the way of
exercise. many Of the weaker ones be-
ing kept in doors altogether and even
those who are robust taken out only
ON days that are fair.
The present winter has afforded
number of very pleasant days when
many of the hardest patients could be
taken out, but weather like Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week cuts off
all out of door exercise. There are
places in the building provided for ex-
ercise, but the patients miss the fresh
air and the bracing effects of a contact
with nature such as is felt by a stroll
over the fields.
