Lawson Creek Tragedy

There was once man who took tramp through the woods, near Lawson creek. Meantime a severe rainstor came up and to protect himself he craw1ed into hollow log. After the rain subsided he tried to exrcate himself but found he was imprisoned because the log had swollen. The thoughts that come to man about to "pass in his checks' sprang before him. He thought of the apples and melons he had stolen when boy; the days he had played "hookey'; the various misdeeds as young man, but still he remain ed prisoner Finally, he thought of the wrong he had done his wife and children by negecting to buy them some of those fine shoes at the DOUGLAS CLOTHING COMPANY as he had intended to. It troubled him terribly, and made him feel so small that it enabled him to crawl out of the log.

Extravagant New york.


New York is the most eXtravagant
city in matters of government in the
United States. Its comparative eX-
travagance, moreover, is out of all pro-
portion to its size. These facts have
just come to light from the census
bureau.
New York city, with only twice the
population of Chicago, spends four
times the amount paid by the latter to
meet its current expenses.
Philadelphia and Boston, both GEN.
tiers in which political ring scandals
have occupied public attention recent
ly, also appear to have run things with
a lavish hand. Philadelphia's running
expenses for 1904 exceeded those Of
Chicago, although Chicago is one-third
again as large as the Quaker City.
Boston is spirited rival of New York
in the manner in which its city fathers
spend money. Boston is about the
same size as Baltimore, but its ex-
penses are three times greater.

worId,s Finest Harbor.

From the capital of Brazil, half the
land and half the people of South
America are governed. 1t is the chief
financial and industrial city Of the
greatest undeveloped empire on
earth. Rio Janeiro is a fast-growing
town. 1t had just crossed the half
million mark in 1890. In 1900 it
reached three-quarters of a million,
and today it has at least 100000
more. 1t is bigger than any town in
the United States excepting Philadel-
phia, Chicago or New York, and it is
only 10000 less than Buenos Ayres,
which has now just 100000.
To my mind Rio de Janeiro is one
of the most beautiful cities of the
world, writes Frank G. Carpenter.
The harbor is surrounded by great
mountains with their tops in the
clouds. The mountains are covered
with a tropical vegetation from base
to summit, and they are of most
curious shapes. One rises out of the
sea like a sugar loaf to a hight Of
more than twice that of the Wash
ington monument; another is mighty
hunchback, and others are great forts
and massive battlements. The harbor
itself is shaped just like pear, but
it is so large that all the ships of all
the world could anchor there and have
room to spare. 1t is 100 miles around
it, and the water is almost everywhere
over 60 feet deep. The bay is dotted
with islands which appear to float, as
it were, upon its diamond-studded sur
face.

of statecraft which he would give them

The Original Complaint Was For
Alleged Assault and Battery.

Henry Gebhart, twentyfour years
old. of Dumont, Bergen county, was
arrested last night in the hotel at
Market and Prospect streets by Pa
trolman Hanson on a warrant which
had been sworn out by George

charged Gebhart with assault and
battery.
Gebhart has been wanted by the
police in Dumont for some time but
until recently they did not know Of
story of the complainant in the poz
lice court this morning, Gebhart, last
June, assaulted him in Bergen coun-
ty, where he was living at the time.
After the assault Mr.. Schaedler said
he went before justice of the peaeeN
and secured a warrant for GebharBs
arrest. Before he was arrested, how
ever, he left town, 1t was alleged.

Mr.. Schneider heard they were In

rest was made and found that his
wife was at the hotel with Gebhart.
She disappeared Immediately and It
is thought by the police that she has
left the city.
Gebhart was held in the lookup
awaiting the arrival of an officer from
Bergen county to take charge Of the

was arrested on was the same one
that was issued by the justice Of the

TO RAISE I6
INCH MAIN TO
CREEK LEVEL.
Water Board Takes Initial Steps
TO Make Present Repairs
Last Permanently.
BOND ORDINANCE is PASSED.

At the water boards meeting last
night Superintendent Burns reported
that the leak in the sixteen-inch main
at Marshy Point had not been re-
paired and that 1t would take nearly a
week to complete the work under the
present conditions. Superintendent
Burns told the board that Diver Ev-
erett had tried to recaulk the joint
but on account of the braces on each
side of the pipe 1t was impossible for
him to work with his armor on. Mr..
Burns was of the opinion that cof-
fer dam could be built in the creek
and the leak then repaired.
President Clark, in speaking about
the leak, said that it might as well
be fixed for good this time and sug-
gested that the main be brought to
the level of the creek as he has learn
ed that the creek is now closed for
navigation on account of the sand
bars that have formed near the
mouth. All the commissioners ia
vored this plan and 1t was finally de-
cided to have Engineer Mason and
Superintendent Burns obtain bids for
the work from a number of local con-
tractors. 1t is estimated that the
work of raising the pipe and build
ing a suitable foundation in the creek
will cost about $50 or $175. The
work will be done as soon as possi-
BILE as at the present time the total
supply of the city is through the
twenty-four-inch main and should q
break occur, the city might expert
ence a water famine.
Just before adjournment a dis
cussion took place in regard to the
pumping records of last year.
To Prepare Annual Report.
AS this month is the closing of the
fiscal year for the board. President
Clark appointed Commissioners
Voorhees,, Grouse and Convery to
prepare a statement of the affairs OF
the department for the past year.
This report will be ready within
about a month.

sue of water bonds to the amount of
