TO PURIFY RARITAN
ACTION BY ~ATT0RNEY-GEN-
ERAL TO STOP POLLUTION.
Done at Request of the State Board of
Health, Which Sees Danger Empty
ing Factory Sewage into Water.

TRENTON, Oct. 1.-Attorney-Gen-
eneral Robert Fl. McCarter, on behalf
of the State Board of Health, has
brought a suit in the Court of Chancery
against the Somerville Manufacturing
Company, of Pluckemin. Somerset
County, and asked to have the court
issue an injunction against the COM
pany, restraining them from polluting
Chambers Brook, a tributary of the
Raritan River.
The bill charges that the company
allows d%yestuffs and washings from
wool to discharge into Chambers Brook,
and allege that such discharge tends to
corrupt and impair the quantity of the
water of the Raritan River to the detri-
ment of the inhabitants of the towns Of
Raritan and Somerville. The two latter
towns, it appears, depend upon the
Raritan River for their water supply.
Attached to the bill of complaint are
copies of letters from the secretary of
the State Board of Health, calling at
tention to the pollution of the brook
and requesting the management of the
company to discontinue the pollution
complained of. The State Board of
Health claims that it has made various
efforts to have the company dispose Of
Its sewage in some other way, but the
management in each instance either re-
fused or did not show any disposition
to remedy the evil complained of, hence
the suit by the Attorney-General.

NEW MAIL WEIGHING
REGULATIONS IN EFFECT.
For Thirty Days the Postal Clerks Will
Be Busy Finding How Many Tons
Railroads Carry

NEW YORK. Oct. lat one minute past
midnight this morning railway mail clerks
throughout the country began the weigh
ing of mails in obedience to a general or
der Of the Postmaster-Genera Congress
is responsible for this. In the regular APP
preparation bill for the postal service, APP
proved March ], the clause requiring the
weighing for thirty days was inserted.
1t was the first time in the history of the
Post Office Department that the weighing
of all mail matter in all trains over all
routes on which mail clerks are employed
was required. In former years, in order
to arrive at an average, special periods
were set aside to determine the amount of
a certain class of mail carried over GER
tain routes or in certain postal sections of
the United States.
The object of the thirty days trial is 10
give the department and Congress reliable
statistics to determine the cost of handling
and transporting different classes of mail
matter. For this special thirty DAYS
weighing test Congress made an appro-
priation of $500, 900.

HE WROTE IT HIMSELF.
Therefore He Should Know All About
the New Metal Which He Discovered.

NEW HAVEN. Oct. 1.-The American
Journal OF Science, published in this city,
will print today details of the discovery
of Professor b. b Boitwood, Of Yale Uni
versity, of a new parent of radium. In
the article. written by himself, Professor
Boltwood gives technical details of the
experiments which led to the discovery
Of the new radioactive element and the
proofs of its character 1t says, in part:
Strong evidence has therefore been OBJ
tanned of the existence in the uranium
minerals of a new radioactive element,
which emits both Alpha and Beta radia-
lions, which produces no emanation, and
which resembles thorium in it's chemical
properties. 1t is without doubt a disin-
tegration product OF uranium and is In all
probability the immediate parent Of
rsdium. The name ionium' is proposed
for this new substance. a name derived
from the word ion This name is believed
to be appropriate because of the ionizing
action which 1t possesses i'm common with
the other elements which emit Alpha
radiums. Further experiments are in
progress. which 1t is hoped will afford
ad iitional information as to the proper
ties and chemical behavior of this new
body
Professor Boltwood has been expert
menting for ten months In his search for
the new element.

PASSAGES HEROINE
REVEALED HERSELF WHEN
CHILDREN WERE IN DANGER.
Drops Bundles, seizes Bride of Run
away Horse, Holds On Firmly and
Brings Animal to Full Stop.

PASSAIC, Oct. THAT Kate Weston
Is a woman of nerve and pluck, and en-
titled to all the glory and credit that
goes with being a heroine and a candi-
date for a Carnegie medal, was clearly
demonstrated yesterday afternoon,
whens she stopped a runaway and there
by saved the lives of two small chill
dren, neal Delawanna, say those who
witnessed the plucky act.
Miss Weston, who has been a member
of the household of William Peterson,
a farmer residing near Delawanna, for
nearly a year., was returning from a
store with her arms filled with bundles,
when her attention was attracted to a
horse coming down the road or a mad
run. She quickly recognized the animal
as one belonging to Mr.. Peterson and at
the same time that the occupants of the
carriage, which was being swung from
side to side behind the runaway, was
none other han the two young daugh-
tiers of her employer, Thelma and Kath-
crime, who. with pale faces, were
crouched in the vehicle with their arms
around C others neck.
Recognizing at a glance that the two
children were in danger of death, Miss
Weston lost no time in acting. She cast
her arm-load Of bundles to n side and
tool up a position in the way of he
oncoming animal, and as it reached her
she made a spring for its head, succeed
ing in ~grasping a firm hold on The
bride. AS she did so. the plucky wom-
IN was lifted from her feet, and for a
moment it looked as If she would lose
her hold and be trampled to death be-
meath the horses feet. But this was not
to be, for the woman threw her other
arm round the animals neck and then
began Juggling at the bit to stop it,.
After she had been carried and half
dragged for fully ten rods, she managed
to bring the horse to a full stop.
Some women would have wound up
such a nerve-racking performance by
Immediately %swooning. Not so with
Miss Weston. She jumped into the car
riage, seized the reins and, turning The
lathered horses hea toward home,
gathered up her discarded bundles.
after which she continued the journey
homeward.

RECEIVERS NEED NOT
GIVE INFORMATION.
New York Public Utilities Commission
Barred from Getting at Certain Street
Railway Facts in One Way.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1-Not knowing just
where they stood relative to the Public
Service Commissions Investigation of the
various surface lines controlled by the
New York City Railway Company, Adrian
Fl. Joline and Douglas Robinson, the re-
ceivers appointed by Judge Lacombe,
called on him for instructions. Judge La
combe spent several hours with them
going over the situation, and then took
the question under Amusement.
The judge has written q memorandum
opinion, wherein he holds that the re-
ceivers need not appear before the com
mission, as it was more properly the duty
OF the former operators and owners of the
properties to appea and present the cor
poration's side of the case.
To whatever extent Improvements were
made upon the roads, the expenses would
ultimately fell upon the owners, Judge
Lacombe said. He also observed that the
receivers were not practical men, so far
as street r~ailroading was concerned, and
intimated that the receivership should be
ended within the ext twelve months, If
not sooner.

TAILoRs ON STRIKE.

selves without New Fall Toys.

ITHACA, Oct. 1.-Closely following
the opening of Cornell University, and
just as the students are demanding
their clothes for the college year. d
strike a been declared by the tailors
of this city. Seventy men left their
benches yesterday and thirteen tailor
shops are tied up.
Even the students who arrived early
and made the ordering of fall clothes
their first duty are no better off thar
those who have not yet ordered, for
thousands of garments lay last night in
the tailor shops in a half-fnished con-
dition, and there seems to be a chance
that they will not be finished before
styles change, for the employing tailors,
who are as well organized as are the
men, have announced that they will not
grant the 10 per cent. increase in pay
which the men demand.

WOULD ABOLISH FEES
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
COMMITTEE DECISION.
Corps of Inspectors for Work Is Recon-
mended to Council-An Amend
ment Favored.

Following the plan of Alderman Julius
A. Meyer and City Sealer p. j. Caufield,
the weights and measures committee Of
Common Council last night decided in
favor Of abolishing the fee system for in
speeding, and nave the work done by a
corps of inspectors, thus insuring the pub
lie from being short-weighted by I'M
scrupulous dealers.
After some discussion it was decided to
ask Common Council to amend a section
OF the recently passed ordinance, so rs
to remove a technicality by which a COM
putting scale company is trying to furnish
scales and throw out the competition of
another firm. on a ~technicality.
The changes, IL adopted by Common
Council. will take effect January 1.
1t came out in the meeting that the
fee system comes in for general objection,
and greatly hampers the inspectors in their
work. Comparatively, the money derived
therefrom is small. Last year 1t amounted
TO $1,S79, while the expense OF the depart
ment summed up 1897. The ordinance re-
quires at least one inspection a year, but
leaves the sealers free to make them as
often as they think necessary. Where re-
peated visits are made to places that are
reputable, the store keepers object to hav-
ing to pay the men each time. and they
find It embarrassing to make frequent in
speetions on that account.
However, there are many firms that ask
for Inspections every week or two to settle
arguments or to make sure of computa-
lions. These will be charged at the old
rate, except when the work is done at the
instance of the sealer. when there will be
no charge.
An amending ordinance providing the
change was drawn up, and will be sub
mitted to the Law Department for APP
prevail. and Will come before Common
Council at Its next meeting.
1t developed last night that a comput-
ing scnle company was trying to Dust an
other firm OF like nature from Newark
because the new ordinance says that such
scales be absolutely correct" whereas they
only claim ''commerciaI'' correctness for
many of the scales Of the company In
question. The sealer stated that it was
purely a technical matter. OF which the
company that 1t doesn't AFFECT was taking
advantage. He said that several hundred
of h Commercially correct scales were
spirit of the law. He also said that the
slight error complained of was being adj
tusted by the mpan at fault. Under
the amended ordinance both companies
will be placed on equal terms.
1t also developed at the meeting that the
big milk companies have found 1t impos-
sible to comply with the ordinance re
quiring that the capacity of each milk
bottle be blown In ounces IN the glass.
This was due to the fact that all the glass
factories were closed down until after the
new law went into effect, September IS.
While they have been using the old bottles
them. He was told TO Investigate the mat
ter, and see that the law was compiled
with as early as practicable, and report
at the Q meeting.

PASSENGERS ON LINER SEE
RAINBOW IN THE NIGHT.
At Least They Say They Do and Back
Up the Statement by Appa-

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Atlantic

a clearing, but at night a mist settled
down over the water.
Along about midnight" said Mr.. SEQ

appeared In the west. Both ends touched
the sea, and although not as vivid as the
rainbow we see in the daytime, 1t was
clearly defined and 40 beautiful sight"
