ors Dwight and Fern to act.

SAY PIER WAS
UNDERMINED.
Another Cause Advanced for
Break in Draw Of Railroad
Bridge.
R. R. co. HIRES TUGS TO AID.

The condition of the New York and
Long Branch railroad bridge is still
about the same today. The bridge
has not been opened and very little is
being done today in repairing it.
The latest report concerning the
cause of the break in the draw span
is that the pier had become under
mined because of the great amount
of material taken from the river bot
tom about one hundred feet distant
from where the central pier for the
new railroad bridge is being con-
structed. All boats that can be pushed
under the bridge at low water are
being attended to by tugs in the con-
tinual employ of the railroad COM
pany.
The Androvette Towing Companys
tug Mabel had it's stack removed yes
terday and went under the bridge to
the west side. where it is now tending
traffic on that side of the draw.
On the other side the tugs Sprite and
Robert Robinson, of the same company,
are tending to navigation there showing
canal boats under at low water.

CUT OUTPUT OF
COPPER| IN HALF

TRENTON, Sept. 19:-Following a
meeting of the directors of all the sub
sidiary companies of the Amalgamated
Copper Company yesterday. at which
William Rockefeller presided. it was
officially announced that cut of 80 per
cent. in the normal production of all
the companies had ben ordered to take
effect at once. An officer of the Anal
gamated company said after the meet
ing a further reduction would be made
if necessary. and if demand for the
metal did not soon pick up the mines
would be closed altogether. He said
absolutely no large sales of copper had
been made recently. evon at the reduced
rate of 161a cents pound. The annual
production of the Amalgamated COM
pany amounts to about 275,000,000
pounds. If conditions improve produc-
tion will be increased.
At the Metal Exchange yesterday a
further cut of from ne-quarter to one
half cents a pound was made in copper,
electrolytc now being quoted at 14.75
to Is cents.
The reduction of the Amalgamated's s
output will not be based on the present
product but on the normal output of
the several companies. Recently the
mines have been curtailing work. The
further reduction will throw thousands
of miners and laborers out of work,
single men going first in these mines:
Anaconda, Washoe, Boston & Montana,
Butte & Boston, Parrot & Trenton.

WORKED ALL
NIGHT ON LEAK
Supt. Burns and Two Shifts OF
Men Rush Repairs on
Break in Main.
MAYOR FOR new MAIN.
The Trouble Proved Much More
Serious Than Was at First
Supposed.

The leak in the twenty-four-inch
water main in upper Market street.
was finally repaired shortly after II
O'Clock this morning, after the city
had been with but little pressure for
about twenty-siX hours. The twenty
four-nch main is now being used as
usual.
The superintendent was working
with his men up to 8 o'clock this
morning. At that time another gang
of workmen went to work. The pipe,
which was blown from a joint, has
been raised by the aid of jacks and
put back in place.
All day yesterday there was but
little water in the city. The sixteen
inch main was used, but while the
factories were working there was
hardly any water in residences. From
O'Clock on yesterday afternoon the
water pressure began to increase and
kept steadily on until it reached
about thirty-tive pounds, which pres
sure was maintained throughout the
night. At 10 O'Clock this morning the
pressure was about the same.
Mayor Bollschweiler inspected the
break in the twenty-four-inch water
main at the north end of Market
street yesterday afternoon and found
it to be very bad one. Another
main," he said, sis needed badly and
should be provided as speedily as pos
sible. Had fire occurred yesterday
afternoon we would not have known
how to fight it, as there was not even
enough water in the pipes for house
hold use.''

FIRE WARDENS
ARE NEEDED.

The mayor may call the attention
of the Board of Aldermen at the next
meeting to section of the city laws,
passed January l, 1880, which pro-
vides for two fire wardens in each
ward.
Since the time this law was passed
three more wards have been made,
but no provision has been made for
fire wardens for them. 1t is the in
tention to revise the law of 1880 and
provide for six more wardens.
Mayor Bollschweiler will also call
a meeting of the fire wardens, some
thing, it is said, that hasn't been done
since the late Mayor Compton was in
office. They will be asked to do their
duties more thoroughly than at pres
ent. The inspection of fire houses and
apparatus is among these duties and
and they are to be asked to do this
and report any defects.

BEST MAN WON

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 19.-
Senator George S. SilZer was at his
office here yesterday not looking a bit
down-hearted because the elusive
democratic gubernatorial nomination
had fitted by him. Concerning the
result of the convention he made the
following statement:
''The best man won, and | will be
on the stump for him this fall if he
wants my services. There was every
indication in the convention that har-
mony will prevail, and with that con-
dition we will win a victory.
Il am very grateful to my friends
both in and out of the convention for
their kindly interest in me, and can
not refrain from adding word OF
praise for Peter f. DAILY, whose
speech was undoubtedly the master
piece of the convention.
