STRANGE FALL IN RESERVOIR.
WATER SINKS THREE FEET AT
MILLBURN IN TWO NIGHTS.


Vas Let Out for a sinister Purpose.
ORANGE, n. j., Oct. I9-Orange officials
are puzzled to account for a strange thing
which has happened at the city's watershed
at Campbell's : ond. MillbuTn. About two
weeks ago stories were industriously cir
culated to the effect that Orange was threat
ened with a water famine and the officials
of the water department made an immediate
investigation which disclosed that there
was sufficient water in the reservoir to last
a long time. Don after that the water in
the reservoir began to fall.
On two nights il fell three feet. which il
strange. "a the consumption of water at
night is only a fraction of the amount used
in { e daytime. All in all. the water has
fallen five feet. and the situation is not
romising.
There is a leak in one portion Of the dam
which the water department has been
seeking to remedy for some time, and nov
that the water is low it can be repaired.
The city officials say that this leak Toes
not account for the amount Of water which
has left the reservoir and there is a strong
suspicion that the water works nave been
tempered with. Alderman Edward $.
Perry, chairman of the water committee
Of the Orange Common cornell and Alder
man Charles w. Rornine, a member Of the
committee, each relieves that something
strange has happened at Millburn and m
investigation will be made. Mr. Romine
said this afternoon:
IF there has been anything criminal |
think there is a cell in State prison waiting
for some one. but of course there il nothing
to show that anything of a criminal nature
has been done. On the other hand. except
that there has been something of this sort
how did the water get awav? 1t disaD-
peared in two nights. II didn't all go in
one. A week ago Tuesday the water fell
eighteen inches. The water in the reservoir
should have lasted four or five weeks. While
| have no evidence to support it, | believe
the water was let out in { wo nights, and vet
| have no suspicion of any one which would
warrant me in making an accusation
The incident has been grasped eagerly
bv those in Orange who are opposing the
construction Of a municipal electric light
and power plant. and the accident has been
cited as an example Of the evils of municipal
ownership, not withstanding that the water
works have beer clearing a profit of $25 900
for the city for many years.
There il, however, not the remotest
danger of a water famine. Experts say
that there ia water enough to supply the
normal demands of the city indefinitely,
except in the case of a large fire, where the
supply might prove to be inadequate. The
city officials have acted promptly and the
Orange and East Orange mains have been
connected with valves at Wyoming, so that
in case Orange runs short East Orange can
be relied upon. II is not thought likely that
this will be necessary.

FERRY FIREMEN'S DEMAND.
10 Per Cent. Increase Of Pay Hope TO Get
It without Strike LabOr Party.

A meeting OF the Har or Boatmen's
Union, which takes II the flremen, deck
hands and quartermasters On the North
River ferryboats and some 4 the men on
the East River ferryboats, was held last
night in a hall on West street near Cort-
landt, to enroll members. After the meet
ing Business Agent Mcbride of the union said
that 100 fremen, deck hands and quarter
masters had made requests" on all the com
panies operating ferries on the North River
for an increase Of 10 per cent. in wages.
He said he did not look for a strike and ex-
pected a favorable reply from the com
panies.
During the meeting II. B. Griffin, score
tary Of the Marine Cooks Union, made a
political speech. He defended the indie
pendent Labor party, formed under the
auspices Of the Central Federated Union.
and said that notwithstanding the Opposi-
ton Of the Independence League it was a
BONA ide labor party and had come to stay.
It's work this yea he said, was only pre-
liminary, but next year il would. with bodies
OF the same kind in other cities, become "A
national party.

the Standard was not published and that
shippers that applied for their rate were
old of the high rate. He added that the
allegations hat the rates were made in
violation OF the law were broad enough
to cover the whole question. Mr.. Brown
declared tina the rate from Clean to Burl-
ington, which is the way the Standard
ships, il II cents a hundred, while from
points only twenty miles away the rate
is 80 cents a hundred pounds. But hat
point, Mr.. Milburn maintained. was to be
settled by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and should not be brought up in a
criminal proceeding. Mr.. Brown said many
shippers did not ship oil into Vermont
territory because the Standard had the
best OF the situation. The argument broke
of when court adjourned at o o'clock.
