John Hand Was Busy With His
Duties on the Freight
Wharves.
SANK TO THE FLOOR.
Coroner Bishop Theory
That Heart Disease Caused
Sudden Death.

John Hand, sixty-five years old,
an old employe of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad, dropped dead in the of
flee of the freight docks at the Le-
high Valleys wharves, shortly before
7 o'clock this morning. Although it
has not yet been positively deter
mined. ii is thought that he died from
heart disease.
Mr.. Hand had been absent from
WORK the past few rainy days and to-
day was the first since he left, a few
days ago. His duties were as janitor
of the freight Office and messenger to
the other branch Offices. He COM
menced work as usual before 7
O'Clock this morning and cleaned out
two of the Office room in the freight
house. He was doing this work when
he suddenly threw up his hands and
sank to the floor with gasp. Men
in the office rushed to his side. but
he was beyond all earthly aid. The
police and coroner were at once noti-
fed
This was a great shock to local
employees of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road company, where Mr.. Hand has
been employed, since the local branch
of that company had been established
in 1875. "He has always been known
as an honest and faithful man in the
many years he has been employed
here,' said Mr.. Brodhead this morn
ing. He is well known throughout
the city and his loss will be mourned
by many"
For the past ten years he had
boarded at the Fitzgerald home, at
90 Fayette street. For few days
prior to his death, he had been slight
ly i'll with a cold, caused by the in
clement weather.
Mr. Hand leaves no known rela-
tives. After viewing the body Cor
oner Bishop gave permit to Under
taker Thomas F. Burke, to take
charge of the body, and arrange fol
burial

MILK 10 CENTS
AFTER OCT. |.
Local Retailers Announce In.
crease of Two Gents Per
Quart Next tuesday.
MlLKMEA GIVE REASONS.

1t was an4v>..-oed this morning
that the price of milk will be ad-
vanced to ten cents a quart by local
dealers October.1 next Tuesday. The
increase has been feared for some
time and the latest raise in the whole
sale cost is given as the reason for
the change in price.
One dealer said this morning that
the cost to the milkmen at wholesale
has been gradually jumping, a quar-
ter of a cent at time, and the latest
advance was a half-cent per quart.
This, the dealers claim, compels them
to raise the price to the consumer.
The price in New York has gone
up to nine cents in some instances
and it is expected TO become more
general October l
The local dealers who made the
announcement of the increase here
said that he had conferred with all
the others and they had decided up
on the increase. The cost at whole
sale, he said, is the highest in thirty
years for October /.

COMPLAIN.

Local architects are about to try to
stop the drawing of plans by other
than licensed men. 1t is claimed by
them that unlicensed men, especially
some contractors. draw up plans and
specifications and erect the building.
This it is claimed, does not only take
work away from architects. who should
properly do such work. but architects
say that in some cases contractors
plans are unreliable and the owners
have been troubled by the state board
of tenement house supervisors
In order to draw plans. an architect
must he regularly licensed by the state
board and pass examinations before a
license certificate is issued local
architect is going to Newark today to
see what steps can be taken.

TO SAVE THE OYSTERS.
All Cities and Industries Must
Cease POIIutiug the Stream
.-have Five Years.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 27:-
1t was stated at the hearing before
the State Sewage Commission in Jer-
sey City yesterday that the commits
sion was planning to purify every
stream in the state and that they
were now giving almost their entire
attention to Raritan river and bay
The hearing was for New Bruns-
wick and Highland Park who have
been notified that they must cease
sewering into the Raritan river. Ed
win McKeag, city attorney for New
Brunswick appeared in behalf~of that
city and Frederick Weigel, attorney
for Highland Park appeared for the
borough.
The commission told the two attor-
neys that the pollution of the Raritan
river must cease. The law gives each
municipality five years to comply with
the demands of the state board after
the order has been signed. No order
has yet been signed for New Brunswick
or Highland Park the commissioners
being desirous of giving both places
ample time to make their plans.
One of the main reasons for insisting
that sewage must cease in the Raritan
river was because of the oysters in
ii'iNNS AD"'' -Nct oiiiS VIII 4NCN IL ti'-
wick and Highland Park have to cease
polluting the river but every town,
city and industry along the river is to
be notified that emptying sewage into
the river must end.
If the edict comes decisively that
sewerage into the river must stop, New
Brunswick will have to have a dis
posal plant. In that case. Highland
Park would doubtless be glad to join
the construction that hOtl l.
munities could use the same plant.
There is a possibility that this stu
alton, if created. would be a step to-
wards bringing about the often talked
of annexation of Highland Park to this
city.

minds, and it was sent to Hoboken.

TANK BOTTOMS
DEMOLISHED

Workmen. are still removing debris
from around the old purifying tanks at
the gas works. 1t will probably be
several days before the work of re-
building can be commenced.
Since the bricks and other material
have been removed from around the
appartus in the building in which the
explosion occurred, it has been found
that the bottoms of nearly every puri-
flying tank in the rooms had been de-
stroyed. This seems to point to the
fact that the explosion must have oc-
CURED by a leak of gas or in some
other manner in the pipes beneath
them, which connect with the big gas
retainer.

of removing the span can hardly be
