one of the greatest commission

Last year we secured one carload of Del

in small lots in Chicago and large Eastern
cities at 40 per cent more in price than 9TH

ever had them last year, have repeatedly
asked for them this year before our supply
arrived. This year we are selling Delicious

They are just what particular people want
in fine table apple, being neither too sweet
nor too sour, fine locker and have good

DRAGGED TO DEATH BY Betting
CoRBY FACTORY EMPLoYE Is
CRUSHED IN MACHINERY.
Alone at Time of Accident-Sleeve
Supposed to Have Caught as He
Was Oiling Up.

Andrew Nelson, caught In the betting
while oiling the machinery at Corby's
yeast factory, LangdOn. was dragged into
the machinery. when his skull was
crushed, a number of ribs fractured and
injuries inflicted to his chest He died
in few moments.
DR.. Lee, resident physician of the Cas-
,ualty Hospital, went to the scene of
the accident in the ambulance. 1t was
believed there was still life in the body
when the man was extricated from the
machinery. Life was extinct, however,
when DIR. Lee arrived.
Nelson. said to have been a native Of
Denmark, had been in this country about
two years, and had been employed as a
months. He had no relatives in this
country.
This morning he was alone in the drying
occurred. His loud screams attracted
the attention Of others In the building.
Fellow-employes hurried to his as
sistance and removed his body from the
machinery. 4 message was sent to the
hosnital without delay.
The police Of the ninth precinct went
to the factc ry and made an investig alton,
learning that the victim alone was re-
sponsible for his death. 1t is believed
that while engaged in the work of oiling
the machinery his sleeve was caught in
the betting and he was dragged to the
part of the machinery where he was
killed before he had an opportunity to do
more than make an outcry.
This afternoon the body was removed
to the morgue. Coroner hewitt made a
partial investigation of the affair. and will
probably give a certificate of accidental
death without the Formally of holding

Present New York Supply

The city OF New York has now two
sources of water supply. The Croton
water works, built between 1895 and
1912, at a cost Of $4,000 600, which was
the greatest undertaking since the
Roman aqueduct, brought the first sup
ply from little stream about ten miles
in length which flows into the Hudson

was called Se-nas-qua by the Indians.
The river landing place was called

William Teller. who purchased a strip

from the Indians for a barrel of rum
and twelve blankets. The Dutch called

across that river in the hills. six m les
from its mouth, and a lake was produced
almost six miles long, capable of con-
tanning five hundred million gallons. The
first dam was swept away by a food
and had to be rebuilt The second dam
proved to be secure. and All aqueduct
running parallel with the Hudson. at
an average distance of half mile from
its east shore has carried from forty to
fifty million gallons of water to the city
every day for nearly seventy years. The
tunnel is of brick. and may be traced by
white stone ventilating towers all the
way from the lake to the beauti. ul High
Harlem river.
When the growth Of New York re-
uuired an additional water supply sec
ond conduit was constructed in 1884. in
an almost perfectly straight line through
the solid rock at an average of five
hundred feet below the surface. This
tunnel IS thirty miles long. fourteen
feet in diameter. delivers three hundred
million gallons Of water from cluster
OF lakes every twenty-four hours and
cost $25.OOONO.
Provision for New Supply.
In 1905 the municipal officials OF New
York city went to the legislature at Al
bany and secured the passage of an &C,
authorizing the mayor to appoint a boare
to provide an additional water supply te
meet the increasing demands of the me-

for their conservation, and providing tina
no munic pality should help itself to any
