stake close to the prison. The alarm
was promptly given, but they got
across the Hudson. although the
night was a wild and stormy one. On
the following day the searchers found
the boat on the Jersey side Of the
Hudson, with both of the convicts sit
ting dead in it, one in the bow and the
other in the stern sheets. They were
both riddled with bullets.
The mystery was never unravelled
but it was supposed that the two es-
caped murderers had fallen to quar-
relling as to which routes they should
respectively take in abandoning the
boat and had shot each other. The
fact that Carlyle Harris had resolute-
" refused to join these two escaped
murderers at the time they got away
made a profound impression at the
time, and strenuous efforts were made
to gain a respite for him. But he was
executed two days after the pair OF
murderers had got aw"V, protesting
his utter innocence to the final mo-
ment Of his life. Being ION the case,
l visited Harris's cell every day dur
ing the long months while he was
awaiting trial, and it was impossible
not to be impressed with the dignity
of his general character While
awaiting trial he wrote some very ex-
cellent verse, and this l marketed fol
him at astonishingly high figures, for
the case was being watched by the
whole country. The money which he
gained from his versifying went to-
ward the expenses of his trial. 1 was
with him until little while before his
execution, but could not bring myself
to watch his finish, although I was

WOMEN MUST kNEEL 70 MEN

Dun Macdonald who spent man,
years as missionary In that country

custom whenever she meets them ON

Macdonsld adds: whenever we saw
a woman 80 out of her way with the
Intention of kneeling before us. though

after the household The punishment

The authority Of a chief wife is not

for African men have little sentiment
for their wives and feel none for their
Junior wives. They are his chattels

for money he usually sells his wife and
not his cattle. He expects them to cul.

WASTEWATER RELIEF
TWO PLANS FOR ORANGE IN
DRY SEASON.
Engineers Submit Schemes to Use Aqu
Pura, Which Is Not Wanted, but
Matter Is Referred Back.

City Engineer Frederick T. Crane, OF
Orange, with Consulting Engineer j. r..
Denton, submitted TO the water m
of the Orange Common Council last night
plans for utilizing water at the Orange
watershed which up to the present time
has not been used, and which Is of such
quantity as TO remove the cause of worry
over a possible shortage during the dry
season of the year, If it can be made
use of.
The engineers announced that there Is a
daily waste at the present time of 100000
gallons of water a day below the camp
bells Pond dam. This quantity comes
principally from the two driven wells that
have been prepared for tapping, although
there is a small lamount soaking under the
dam, which has recently been repaired,
and another flow gets around the western
1t was stated by the engineers that If a
pit 6x6x6 feet were dug below the dam
and a pumping apparatus installed the
100000 gallons could be pumped back to
the pond and then sent through to Or
ange.
The other plan that seemed the most
practicable, however. was one of a perma-
nent cherecter. 1t was to make arrange
ments to pump the capacity of two wells
below the dam, with the present wasted
water, which would make a total daily
supply Of 1900, 900 gallons, through the
new auxiliary main during the two or
three months of the dry season. The
water is abundant during nine or ten
months of the year and the pumps could
remain IDLE during that period. as the
Campbells Pond pumps could care for the
city needs with the normal supply of
water flowing into the pond.
The pumping engine, pit, etc, could be
secured for 81, 500, while the permanent
arrangement would cost 81, 300. The en-
gineers, however, stated there was no urg-
eney for any such arrangements, and the
matter was referred back to them. The
men decided to examine further into the
use of, compressed air pumps for the aux
iliary or supplementary supply, and will
report at a later meeting.
Water Superintendent Isaac N. Travis
reported that conditions at the upper
reservoir and Campbell's Pond were more
satisfactory now than at this period in
previous years. The supply in the upper
reservoir was large. the stream was run
ming strong into CampbelPs Pond, the
pumps are working satisfactorily and
everything is smooth, he stated.
