HAD POISON IN
HIS STOMACH.
Grand Jury Still investigating
the Death Of Thomas Me-
Carthy.
Special to the EVENING NEWS: (:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. s.
The grand jury did not complete its
investigation yesterday afternoon OF
the alleged poisoning of Thomas Nc
Carthy, of South Amboy, and a fur
ther hearing will be given the mat
ter next Tuesday, TO which time the
grad jury adjourned.
II is reported that Dr.. J. A. De-
gheux, the expert, who made an ex-
animation of the organs of the stom-
ach of Mr. Mccarthy, found arsenic
therein sufficient to kill man. 1t
was alleged at the time of his sudden
death that Mccarthy had been pois-
oned or met with foul play and this
led to the investigation. No motive
for the poisoning OF the man has
been advanced although it is said the
man was insured and the insurance
has not been paid.
DR.. Albright and Dr.. Eugene Mea-
cham were among the doctors called
in the case yesterday. Further testi-
mony is expected at the next hearing
upon the case that may clear up the
mystery to some extent.

PAINTERS TO
MAKE REQUEST
At Meeting Last Night the Union
Felt Confident They Would
Have No Trouble.

At the meeting of the Painters,
Decorators and Paperhangers' Union,
Local No. Ia, in the rooms in the
Adelaide building, 1873 Smith street,
last night, it is understood that they
discussed the requests they will make
of the bosses May /.
1t is almost certain now that the
painters will ask for $3 per day, for
eight hours work. This is at the rate
Of 81 4 cents an hour. At the pres
ent time they receive only, according
to union demands, S2.75 per day for
eight hours. This is at the rate of
34as cents per hour. The painters,
it is understood, will not demand the
new scale of wages, they will just
ask the bosses TO grant it to them,
on the fact that at the present time
they are the lowest paid mechanics
III town, and if the hod carriers get
the increase they are going to de-
mand per hour, they will receive
within couple of cents of what the
painters now receive.
In speaking about the matter TO q
NEWS reporter number of the
bosses said that they did not think
the demands of the painters too much
and if they were the only demands,
no trouble will result. Most of the
painters think that they will receive
the increase without any trouble.

BAT Terry Is
SAT ISFIED.
Met Last Night and Heard Re-
port Of Committee Which
Went TO Trenton.

Garfield Battery held a meeting
last night and heard a report from
the committee which went to Tren-
ton Monday night and saw Governor
Stokes and the MiddleseX senator and
assemblymen and presented the petit
tions for Judge Lyons candidacy for
Judge of this county.
The three members of the delega-
ton, Recorder II. z. Pickersgill, Cor
oner H. o. Bishop and Health Com
missioner j. B. Quick, each told OF
different phases of the closing chap
ter of the Lyon -Booraem-J ackson-
Strong incident which was enacted
Monday night. The battery had ac-
complished it's purpose, which was
not to complain of Theodore B. Boor-
aem's appointment as judge nor to
seek to influence Governor Stokes
to swerve from the dictates of the
time-honored custom of naming the
man recommended by the countys
senator, but simply to show the feel
ings entertained in this city over the
manner in which the recommending
of Mr.. Booraem's name to the COVER
nor was hurried through before the
extensively-signed petitions from this
city could be presented. The bat
terry now regards the matter as a
closed incident.
Following the receipt of the re-
ports from the committee, several of
tho IOamharS Of the battery smoke on
timely subjects and six applications
for membership were favorably act
ed upon. Assemblyman Frank Crow
ther spoke on the general political
situation.
So interested were the members OF
the battery, who were present in
large numbers, in the discussions and
talks that it was II o'clock before
adjournment was taken.

.LEHIGH STILL
STORING COAL
So Much Anthracite Coming to
This City That Ills Difficult
TO Find Storage Room.

Although every bin in the stock
grounds OF the Lehigh Valley rail
road, in this city, is filled to over
flowing, as told in the NEWS the 9TH
er day, coal is still being rushed here
over that road in such great quanti-
ties that il is almost impossible to
find a storage place for it all. Many
cars of all grades of coal are dumped
in barges every day and night and
tu5b0ats haul the vessels away, but
still the income is too great, and it
is expected that plans will shortly
be made for the filling in OF extra
ground which the railroad company
owns and is now using at the present
time.
From good sources it was learned
yesterday afternoon by a NEWS re-
porter that the Lehigh Valley, along
with the other railroads, is now al
most certain that a strike among the
coal miners will take place April l
and they are not going to be caught
as they were in the last strike.
Men high up in railroad and min
ing affairs say that the strike is
bound to come, that the miners are
dissatisfied and are now fighting
among themselves and that the off
cials of the different railroads are do
ing all that they can to bring the
strike to a head when they expect to
be able TO reap a big profit at the
expense of the suffering people.
At the session of the district con
vention of the United Mine Workers
of America held in Pittsburg few
days ago, resolutions demanding the
resignations of President Patrick Do
Ian, Vice President Uriah Belling
ham, and Secretary-Treasurer Dodds
for the action in voting to accept the
old wage scale at the Indianapolis
convention was again introduced.
Following the presentation of the
resolution there was repetition OF
Mondays stormy scene when the
same motion was defeated because it
was not properly presented. The res
olution was placed before the conven-
tion by the committee on resolutions
and vigorous debate took place
among the excited delegates.

Lawyer GOIdherger Is Organizing

tees, which includes throwing ashes

cellar or back porches? Are child
rem unduly boisterous. or do they
annoy other tenants? Did he give the
landlord at least fifteen days notice

BREAK RECORD
IN MTER DEPT
More Mater Pumped During
January Than Any Previous
Month in Citys History.
MUCH )COES TO WASTE.
Factories Using More Than Ever
Before Statement of the
Superintendent.

For the month of January, this
year, 120,705,730 gallons of water
were pumped from the water works
at Runyon and this, according to rec
ords, is the largest amount of water
ever pumped from the station.
In conversation with NEWS re-
porter this morning Superintendent
Joseph G. Burns said that the con-
sumption was more than heavy at the
present time, but that the depart
ment was losing on the average of a
quarter of million gallons of water
per day, because a number of people
turned the faucets on and allowed
the water TO continue running SO that
the pipes would not freeze. If this
could be stopped the city would be at
q great saving.
At the rate of 120,705,730 gallons
for the month, it means on an aver
age of 3,893,733 gallons per day that
the pumping station sent out.
Last year for the month of Janu-
airy only 113, 100000 gallons were
pumped and of this amount only
JOG, 100000 gallons came from Run
yon, while 100000 gallons came
from the old Smith street station
which was working at that time For
the month of September last year on
~ 93,O00,000 gallons were pumped,
while in December of the same year
the records show that $4,000
gallons were pumped.
Superintendent Burns said that the
pumping now of course was great
deal heavier than it was in the sum-
mer time, because of the waste and
of the heavy pull that the factories
are giving At the present time more
factories than ever before are using
city water and by this time next year
it is expected that the present rec
ord will be even passed.
