and a small, close-fitting shake with
red pompon. But what struck me was
his attitude of terrified surprise, the
whiteness of his face, the stare of his
small eyes. He thrust into his inner
pocket a packet of papers that We're in

faint, sckly smile. and he saluted.

Fleischmann left the car to examine
for tracks. There was no dearth OF

Fleischmann hastened to n small
farm house near by, and returned lead

RUSH WORK
AT RUNYON.
Water Board Hope to Solve Clean
Water Problem By Latest
RfOVe.-TO Clean Mains.

The Climax Construction Com
pany, which, as told in the NEWS.
was awarded the contract for build
ing the twenty-fve-foot suction well
at Runyon, will start men to work
Monday morning. The work will be
rushed as fast as possible for the firm
has only sixty working days in which
TO complete the task The job is to
cost $9,754.
When the work of constructing the
suction well has been finished it is
expected that all of the necessary
piping for the underground storage
system will be here, and it may be
that some of it will be down by that
time.
Connect all Wells.
1t is the intention of the water
board to connecL all of the wells at
Runyon by pipe with the suction
well. The pipe alone will cost over
$4,000, but it is hoped by the com
missioners that when this new sys-
TEN is completed, they will be able to
da away with the present system of
furnishing water and to supply the
city with pure water that will not
only be q credit to the board, but also
great credit TO the citizens and
make the demand for more water so
great that ii will be necessary to put
in more mains and piping.
Cause of Dirty Water.
Some talk is heard in regard to
the condition of the present mains
because of the dirty colored water
sometimes sent through the pipes
A heavy coating of. mud and dirt is
now in the pipes, it is explained, and
that even if through the new system
only pure water is secured, it will be
dirty before it reaches this city be
cause OF this trouble.
The board. it seems, has given this
matter considerable thought and
they think that they have plan
whereby the mains can be thoroughly
cleaned before the new system goes in
to effect. The plan is to shut off the
main in sections, turn on the full
force of the water and in this way
the dirt in the pipes will be loosened
and can be easily sent out.
Pump House Progressing.
Donehue & Leavy, who have the
contract for the building of the pump
house, are doing good work. They
have the walls up and this morning
iron workers commenced, The roof
will shortly he put on and it is eX-
pected that the building will be fin
ished within contract time.
Mr.. Yeager, of Metuchen. who has
a large factory in Newark for manu-
featuring a patent fire CRATE, has ask
ed the water board to allow him to
put in the CRATE at Runyon. The
CRATE is fixed in such a way that a
fireman or employe can shake the
ashes by simply pulling a small lever.
at one end of the CRATE, and will do
away with the present system of hav-
ing to rake ashes out with long
poker.

BROKE into
THE SALOON.
Man So Anxious for a Drink He
Could Not Wait Until Open
Ing Time.

When James Noonan. bartender in
w. A. Quinglay's saloon in State
street. entered the place to open up
this morning about 6 O'Clock he was
astonished to see man standing at
the bar. The stranger was heavy
set man of some fifty winters and he
wore working clothes and cap.
Noonan asked him how he got in and
the early customer replied that he
broke in at the rear. Noonan investi-
gated and found "A window at the rear
smashed, showing where the intruder
had made his entrance. Tonnesen
was called and he placed the man
under arrest,
When the prisoner was brought in
to court he was recognized as Eugene
Hemstreet. few years ago one of
the best boat captains hereabouts.
He is forty-eight years old and now
lives in Tottenville. When asked
whether he would plead to charge
of breaking and entering or OF dis
orderly conduct, he said disorderly
conduct. He pleaded guilty and the
recorder sentenced him TO pay hne
of $25 and costs, $3.50, or go 10 the
county jail for three months. He did
not have the money and was COM
mitted.
Hemstreet broke into G. w. Pari-
sens pharmacy in the same manner
several years ago one morning about
3 O'Clock and was caught by Detec-
tive J. A. Huff who was then doing
night patrol duty. Hemstreet does
not seem to have any thieving pro
clivities but simply wants to get in

RECITAL FOR
KINDERGARTEN
Large Audience Filled Presbyter.
ian Chapel Last Might Van
Wrinkle the Subject.

Charles F. Underhill appeared be-
fore a large audience in the Presby
terian chapel last night and present
ed in a manner which won merited
favor a recitative portrayal of rip
VanWinkle" The story was vividly
evolved before the eyes of the aud
ience and in Imagination one could
see the rolling hills on the banks of
the Hudson and the home of Rip and
the quaint old village so familiar to
all who have read or heard Washing
ton Irving's tale.
Without any aid or properties Mr..
Underhill gave the play, presenting
the scenes and events and taking the
parts of the different characters in
faultless style which evoked wonder
that such an effect could be wrought
by one man in evening dress, unas-
sisted and without scenery. His de-
lineation of Rip, the character which
Joe Jefferson made immortal, was OF
, the highest class of dramatic ability,
and many in the audience who had
seen Jefferson III the part expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Underhill might
well take the part with no discredit.
He depends, in his performance, on
facial, vocal and gesticulative eX-
preston changes for his different
character representations.
The recital was the second of the
entertainments arrangd by the Kin
dergarten Society.

Some Facts Learned.

1t is even declared that one man
whose name appears upon the list OF
twelve, whose names are not given
because the crusade instituted by the
correctional authorities and the press
is not directed at any individuals but
simply in desire to effect a better
ment of existing liquor traffic condi-
tions in the city, is one of the twenty
men or thereabouts whose saloons
were closed up by the new appoint
i've board in New Brunswick recent
ly because of their vile character. 1t
is also asserted that another one of
those twenty now has an application
pending. The board in New Bruins
wick is composed of representative
men. The board in this city is cleo
tive.
Grant Washington st. License.
The board last night, by a unani-
nous vote, granted the applications
of John Demko for the saloon at l09
Washington street and the applica-
ton of John Mikodam for the saloon
at AZ Chauncey street, the place for
Wnlcn MdIllU SlIduSS lOllItlIy lelu
the license. They laid on the table
the applications of Daniel j. Kelly
for the saloon at 20 Hall avenue,
formerly of the Amboy Realty & Con-
struction Company, and the applica-
ton of Dennis f. Donovan for a
transfer of the license of the saloon
at 40 Hartford street to Clement Eb-
ner. The application of Fred Slater
was. on motion, taken up and placed
on file. Mr. Slater died Wednesday
night.
At the previous meeting of the
board, the application for renewal
for John Nikodam for the place form
erly held in Martin Strauss name, at
AZ Chauncey street, was laid on the
table, and no transfer had ever been
secured from Strauss TO Nikodam
The saloon at 109 Washington
street is the place for which the
board, at previous meetings, refused
to grant license unless the appli-
cant would run the place himself. 1t
is the place against which remon-
STRANGE was received.
