ALDERMEN VS.. WATER BOARD

Last year the garbage contract was
but $4,000. When, therefore, only
one bid was submitted this year and
it was for $500, just double that of
last year, the aldermen did right in
throwing it out. 1t is evident that
the aldermen think more of the city's
money than does the water board,
which is fighting for the privilege of
paying $500 an acre for land when
it declares that the tract adjoining is
not worth $53 an acre. What is
worse, the water board is hiring spec
ial counsel at enormous price to fight
for the privilege and is paying him
out of the city's purse.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20.
FOR A NEW STATION.

At last the officials of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey are actually
inspecting the stations along the line
OF that road and it looks as il some
thing may be done in the not far dis
tant future to give Perth Amboy a
station worthy of city of $4,000 in
habitants AS was told exclusively
in the EVENING NEWS last night, a
party of railroad officials in a spec
ia1 train is making complete tour of
the road A whole week is to be
Nspent In examining the various sta
tipns and notes are being made of the
defects found in order to make out a
Its of desirable changes.
The party arrived in this city at
noon and stayed but half an hour. II
the officials merely wanted to see the
station itself the time was well chos-
en- and enough was seen to convince
the visitors that Perth Amboy should
have something better in the way of

might be. That official spoke truth

on the station platform exposed to all
the weather except. when it storms,

The measley little waiting rooms
could also be examined carefully for
they were practically bare at noon.
1t Is well the officials called when
they did If they desired to see the
station and nothing else. BY so doing
they escaped the most disgusting feat
ure connected with the place and did
not have their morals shocked.
Had they called at o'clock at
night instead of at the noon hour the
result of their visit would have been
different. Little of the station could
have been seen, however, for it is
literally packed, inside and all around
Il, with people. The mems side hardly

ALMOST BRINGS DEAD TO LIFE.
Apparatus for Resuscitating Persons
Apparently Dead.

An apparatus for producing arti-
fetal respiration has recently been
devised whereby In cases of suspend
ed animation the action of the heart
and lungs can be renewed.
Prof. George Poe, the inventor OF
the apparatus, does not insist that
with its use life can be brought back,
but claims, according to the Scientific
American, that by artificial means
applied through the fundamentally
of the respirator persons killed by
asphyXiation poison or drowning can
be resusCitated; that the death of
persons under the influence of an
| aesthetics while being operated upon
can be prevented; that its use will
prevent infant asphyXla at birth;
| that drunken person can be sob
cred in few minutes that persons
electrocuted or hanged-in the latter
case where the neck has not been
broken-can be revived, and that the
freezing to death of arctic explorers
can be obviated. These results are
accomplished by stimulating normal
respiration through artificial means.
A demonstration was made on a
| rabbit Two grains of morphine were
injected into the leg, after which four
ounces of ether were administered
1t was believed by the experimenters
that life was positively extinct, as the
| application o. every known test failed
| to reveal any sign of life. In this
| condition the tubes of the apparatus
were applied to the rabbits nostrils
| and on y" ing out the poison with
! one cylinder pumping oxygen into the
| lungs with simultaneous movement
| of the valves, within three minutes
the rabbit, but lately pronounced
dead, was breathing naturally, and
| within six minutes 1t was running
| around the room. The ether was en-
tirely out o. the system, as there
was no indication of nausea.
