last night, after about four weeks
illness Old age and the recent exces-
siye heat were the. direct causes of his
death.
In the death of Cortland Parker
New Jersey has lost one of its most
notable figures and its Oldest practic-
ing lawyer. Born in Perth Amboy on
June 81 1918, he had just completed
his eighty-ninth year and until at
tackled by his fatal illness he had re-
tanned his physical as well as his men
tai vigor to remarkable degree.
His parents, James and Penelope
(Butler) Parker, sent their son to the
Perth Amboy Military Academy and
other schools until his fifteenth year,
when he entered Rutgers College at
New Brunswick from which he was
graduated first in the class of '36, at
the age of eighteen and was the vale
dictorian of his class.

Moved by special Car.

The large rock, which has been ly-
ing at Cranberry Lake since March
last awaiting transportation to Pater-
son because a car strong enough to
carry it could not be provided, was re-
moved last week to its destination by
special car secured from the Rogers
Works at Paterson. This car had to
be strengthened and many tons of the
rock cut away ere it could be loaded,
and then it was moved by special train
to be placed by Col. William Barbour,
of Paterson, in his cemetery plot in
that city. The Lackawanna had no
car strong enough to carry such a
stone even under its reduced dimen-
eiOns

SEWER NOTES.

Sewer contractor Costa has concen-
trated his gangs in the Fourth Ward.
Sewers have been laid in Wetmore av-
enue, Doughty street, COLES avenue,
Macculloch avenue and Farragut place,
and some tile has been distributed
on other streets in that section of the
town. The trouble with the water
and the quicksand on the lower end of
Wetmore avenue was minimized by
raising the grade Of the pipe two feet.
In the dryer portions there has been
considerable trouble from the sand,
which, when it becomes dry, runs like
SO much grain. AT least half-dozen
of the diggers have been buried, one
of them, on Thursday morning, having
the ditch fill in over his head. None
of the victims of these cave-ins has
been seriously injured, however. Two
new inspectors have been added to the
force, MeSsrs. Lines and Armstrong.
The rock-cut on Speedwell avenue
near Kinney street has been completed
and the pipes laid and ditch filed.
No progress is being made on Speed
well avenue as yet. although pipe has
been delivered along the street as far
down as Spring street.
The large tile drain through the
lower part of Wetmore avenue has
caused considerable trouble in sewer
construction. 1t was found that the
pipe ran alongside of the sewer for
nearly hundred feet and had to be
crossed again with the Ogden place
line. The old pipe when uncovered
was found to be cracked and fiattened
by the weight of earth above it and as
the sewer lay on the same grade as the
drain it will be necessary to build a
brick culvert flatter than tile pipe at
the crossing.
Work on the ejector chamber on
Wetmore avenue has been started aud
fortunately down to five feet in depth
the digging was Through clay. 1t is
expected that all the pipe on the ejec-
tor system will be laid this week.
Work is being prosecuted On Doughty
street and there yet remains Mt. KEN
BILE avenue, part of Market street.
Bank street and a portion of Ann
street.
Tiles have been laid along Ridgedale
avenue, Morris street and Pine street
for one Of the trunk lines but no dig
ging has been done as yet IN account
of the non-arrival of the Y connec-
tions.
The plan for the trunk line to the
upper part of town has been changed
somewhat the present plan being to
lay through George street and via.
Water street instead of tunnelling the
Lackawanna railroad bank or else 60
ing through the McEwan pond in
order to pass the Lackawanna barrier.
