NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 49,
The Board of Health is ~prodding the
Board of Water Commissioners in an
effort to compel the latter to estab-
lish a filtration plant, to purify the
city's water supply. President Kill
mer, of the Board of Health, has
caused something of a sensation by
declaring that under present condi-
tons New Brunswick's water supply
is exposed to pollution at Midtown,
where houses are built along the
pond from which a stream, that is
New Brunswick's source of supply,
runs. There is house and closet sew
age from these housesg Mr.. Kilmer
says, and; while there is no present
indication of dangerous bacteria in
the water, conditions are excellent
for the development of the bacteria
of contagious diseases if such di-
seases should occur in Midtown.

HANEY'S REMEDY
is IN THE COURTS.
New Brunswick Times Declares that
$1,000 Offer Looks Like a
Bluff.

That the charges made by c. A,
Bloomfield against George j. Haney
are creating much interest through
out the county is evident. Last night
the New Brunswick Daily Times pub
lished the following editorial on the
subject:
Charles A. Bloomfield made the
charge that George j. Haney, chair
man of the Amboy bridge committee.
came to his house early in the morn
ing, asked an interview with him in
his library, "a confidential inter.
view," and after closing the door tc
insure privacy, offered to give him
a position, with no work and a bis
salary, if he would withdraw hi
opposition to the bridge Legislation
then pending in the legislature.
George J.. Haney declares The
charge is false and puts up $1,000 az
a stake, side bet or forfeit money, u
be given to charity if Bloomfield will
prove his charge.
IF the charge were true and the
circumstances exactly as Mr.. Bloom
field describes them, from the very
nature of the conditions under which
the offer was made, it would not be
possible to prove it by direct evil
dence, so that Mr.. Haney's offer looks
very much like a bluff.
at will be so accepted by the gen
eral public, who will agree with
Bloomfield's declaration, made to :
Times representative this morning
that if Mr.. Haney wants vindication
he should bring suit for damages for
SANDER, and put it up to Mr.. Bloom
field to support his charge by evil
dence, direct or circumstantial, thai
would prove conclusive to a jury and
a trial court.
That $1,000 forfeit is a rather
timeworn bluff. Mr.. Haney need not
expect that public opinion will be af-
fected by it, or influenced further by
any refusal of Mr.. Bloomfield to take
up the offer. Mr.. Haney's remedy
to lie in the courts"

FIERCE STORM
ON The ISLAND
SquaII Passed Over Staten IS
land Yesterday Doing Much
Damage.

Damage aggregating thousands Oh
dollars was caused by the heaFy
storm which swept over New YORK
city yesterday. Staten Island was
the greatest sufferer. Sewers in the
city were flooded and the streets In
their vicinity made impossible, Pc
destrians being forced TO make long
detours to reach their destinations.
The ferry house at st. George was
flooded to such a depth that 1t was
necessary to bore holes in the floor
to carry the water off.
Four municipal f%erryboats arrived
at Staten Island during the height OF
the storm. After tying up at the pier
the passengers on board found, to
their dismay that a small river was
peacefully floating at the exits, Many
men rolled up their trousers, removed
their shoes and stockings and waded
through the water to dry land.
Several employees of the ferry COM
pany, clad in long hip boots, volun-
teered to carry the women to safety.
Some of the women were rather tim
id at first, but after two or three
had been safely brought ashore they
all signified their willingness to be
carried through the water rather
than to walk through it,
The ferry house was flooded to the
depth of twelve inches in some places.
Hundreds of belated Staten Islanders
stood mournfully on the far side of
the street gazing wistfully at the fer
ry boats, which they were unable to
reach.
After an hours delay workmen
were sent for and ordered to cut
holes in the new floor of the ferry
house. These were soon made and
in less than half an hour the water
began to slowly disappear.
Although the drops fell heavily
during the night there was little dim
mutton in the heat and humidity that
greeted the city's workers during the
early rush hours, Soon, however,
the skies began to leak again, at first
in tiny streams, and then in bucket
fuls, attended by vivid lightning
flashes and sharp crashes of thun-
der, and as the storm grew older
the city began to cool off and breath
ing became a %pleasanter sensation
than it has been in days.
During the worst of the rainfall
the city was plunged in darkness fol
a time, so thick that many stores
along Broadway and in other import
ant business sections had to light up

NEW BRUNSWICK. Sept. 10
The recent strike of the Hungarian
trackmen employed between this city
and Newark, which is practically ov-

having failed to interfere with the
Italian laborers brought from New

the Italians to and from work and

of the league to the memorial Of Nor

state convention, which requested the
league to postpone nominations until

All the noise which had gone before
seemed tame compared with the pande-
monium Of ecstatic cheering which
greeted the first words of the reply an
nouncing that the league deemed it
inadvisable to postpone the important
business which it had been assembled
to carry out" The reply in full was
as follows:

was received and carefully considered
by the state committee and by it re-
ferred to this convention.

should be successful in this commenda-
bic endeavor we should be glad to
make common cause with them, and if
they should not be successful we ex-
tend our hand in friendship to them
and invite their support at the polls of
our Independent ticket"
The final phrases of the reply were
cheered as loudly as the first.
AS soon as silence had been gained
Mr.. Shearn announced the ticket for
state candidates recommended by the
committee.
The name of Mr.. Hearst instantly
