VICTIM or FIRE is IN
CRITICAL CONDITION

The care of six-year-old Julia Was
aras, of Cortlandt street, near Hall ave-
nue., who was probably fatally burned
yesterday, has been left to the city. 1t
Is probable that the case win be turned
over to City Physician DR.. Meinzer.
AS told in the NEWS yesterday, the
child was burned while playing about
a bonfire in the rear Of her home. To
gether with other children she had
formed a pile Of paper boxes and, se-
curing some matches, ignited them. The
flames caused the Wasaras girl Is dress
to blaze and almost all her clothing
was burned from her body. Her body,
arms, legs and head were burned and
the child was in extreme agony when
Or. Hay and Dr. Meinzer were called.
Although she rested easily last night,
there are grave doubts OF her recovery.

KEASBEY WATER

AS Engineers Mason and Cottrell
had not returned from the inspection
trip to Milwaukee, action was de-
ferred by the Board of Water Com
misisoners and no steps were taken
last night to decide upon any par
ticular pump. The ordinance pro-
viding for the $4,000 bond Issue
was passed on Its second and final
readings and will now be sent to the
Board Of Aldermen for approval.
president Clark stated that members
of the Board of Aldermen had inti-
mated that the money would be
forthcoming
To Extend Ground Storage.
Specifications for an extension of
the ground storage Fstem at Run
yon were before the Board of Water
Commissioners at their regular meet
ing last night This is another move
of the commissioners to enlarge the
city's system to prevent the possible
ity of q water famine.
The board adjourned to meet to-
morrow night to hear the report of
Engineer Mason regarding the
pumps which he inspected in the
>west and further action may then be
taken for the extension of the water
system at Runyon.
Engineer Mason was expected to
return yesterday but, owing to de-
lays, did not do so. The commits
sioners joked about telegram sent
to President Clark by Mr.. Mason,
stating that Milwaukee pumps were
BOD and reliable. Commissioner
laney humorously intimated that
perhaps MesSre Mason and Cottrell
were on junket. -
For Keasbey Water Supply.
The question of a water supply
for Keasbey came up when Supefln-
tendent Crowell reported that Alder
man Schultz had applied for permits
sion to lay main from the end of
the city's line short distance into
Woodbridge township, for the pur-
pose of supplying his houses there.
He is to pay all costs of laying pipe,
secure permission from. the Wood
bridge township authorities and pay
for the water at meter rates. On
those conditions the request was
granted ON a motion made by Mr..
Haney A question arose as to
whether this action was permissible
inasmuch as the Keasbey Water
Company had been turned down.
That concern had agreed to pay for
water at meter rates, but were to
supply the entire suburb of Keasbey.
The township committee of Wood
bridge has abandoned the idea of
contracting with this city for water
in Keasbey, Inasmuch as 1t would
necessitate a special election.
A communication was received
from C. X. Seaman, treasurer of the
Perth Amboy Savings Institution,
notifying the board that the $40, 900
temporary loan reservoir certificates,
held by the institution, would expire
shortly and recommended the adop-
tion of a resolution enclosed. The
resolution, providing for the renewal
of the bonds at per cent for two
years, was unanimously adopted, on
motion of Commissioner Snedeker.
Warrants were ordered drawn for
a number Of bills and Mr.. Crowelrs s
requisition for supplies was granted.
President Clark and Commission
ers Haney. Grouse, Snedeker and
Fraser were present.

support, therefore he would be dan

With no suitable successor IN

THE GOVERNMENTS SIDE LINES

CUSTOMS receipts and internal revenue
- taxation furnish the bulk of the Govern
ment's income; but the Government profits by
snug sum from the sources that grow out Of
sovereignty, usually on the penny saved
penny earned" principle. For example. about
three million dollars Of small change is absorbed
in the channels of trade each year. During
periods of great prosperity the annual increase
has run as high as five million dollars.
Buying for fifty cents pound blanks that
will make ninety nickel five-cent pieces is profit
able business. The gain, technically called
seignorage is hardly less on one-cent pieces
The silver in the quarter-dollar would not now
cost more than ten cents although it was some
what higher when the stock now being minted
was purchased
The Treasury is the gamer from the destruc-
ton of paper money not redeemed. 1t also de-
rives return from patents, in the form of fees
that patentees pay for the privilege of monop-
olizing their inventions, and thus in a slight
degree shares their profits. Other returns of
this sort might be enumerated; but the re.
eepts growing out Of + sovereignty are LIMITED
forms of taxation.

few weeks ago general sales of both
feeders and stock steers this week
showed 500 60 cents decline. The
feeders which have been selling of late
at 4S5@475 were fully so cents off
from high point, while the class of
stockers selling down from 400 often
showed as much as $1,000 cents de-
cline. Country activity in looking af-
ter the growing corn has been respon-
sible for small attendance of buyers
in the past three weeks. However, the
supplies have been light, but fully up
to the demands The country has long
complained that feeding cattle prices
were too high, but this argument hard
ly holds good just now, when the mar
ket is considerably off from best level
this season.
Most of the feeders have sold this
week at 4.40@4.S5. and few strictly
good kinds around 500. while some
odd lots carrying a little flesh went up
to 5.25. Stockers landed largely at
3,75@4.35, and a liberal supply of poor
little odd lots ranged at 3.25@3.65, with
some scalawag stockers down to 800

Franks Of Fate.

Fate plays some mighty queer
pranks on the railroad" says vet
eran railroader. Il remember case
that happened some years ago up In
Michigan. A passenger train ran into
an oyen switch near Monroe and was
ditched. The coaches piled up and,
although many of the passengers were
hurt, none were killed.
when the rescuers got to what re-
NAMED OF the baggage car, a, search
was started for the baggageman,
Tommy Grady. He was good man,
too, and the crew hated to lose him.
We finally found Grady wedged under
pile Of broken baggage and mer.
chandise packages. He was apparent.
ly all in His head had been
smashed, and his face was covered
with blood and what appeared to be
brains.
1--WE got him out and the doctor be.
gan to work on him. After he had
been cleaned up it was found he had
got off with a broken arm and several
nasty scalp wounds. The brains that
we saw were the contents of pail of
oysters that had been smashed when
he dove head-foremost into It,"

Railroad Travel In Japan.

Two girls relating their experience
in Japan. in the Wide World Magazine,
give glimpse of travelling by night by
rail in the country of the chrysanthe-
mum. They write: "The train was
crowded with Japanese, and when
night came the long seat was divided
up into portions, the upper berths were
pulled down, and we all huddled into
our respective hunks, men and women
mixed up together. 1t was distinctly
trying to be obliged to hoist ones self
up into high upper berth before a
mixed assembly, and more trying still
to descend in the morning with the
very incomplete toilet which one was
enabled to make in reclining posi-
ton, but the blissful ignorance Of our
Japanese neighbor that there was any
thing unusual in such proceeding con-
siderably relieved our embarrassment
His attitude and calm matter of fact
ness were very reassuring, and the
wonderfully cheerful conductor who
brushed our clothes and fastened our
blouses seemed to consider himself
specially suited for the post Of lady's
maid"

Inc up-tO-date railroad company Is
fast upsetting the Osler theory by con-
tinuing in service and by placing in
responsible positions requiring quick
thought and action men we'll across
the middle span of life-men who have
had experience in their work.
In no branch of railroading Is this
better exemplified than in the running
of freight trains, the most important
trains, the fast freights, being given
over to the charge of the older hands.
BILL (Boston to Harlem river) of the
New Haven road, Bill being the
fastest and best train on that railroad
and used for carrying fish from Boston
to Fulton market, New York city,
making the trip in tx hours.
James H. Rourke, the conductor, has
seen IS years service on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
and on the smaller roads before con.
solidation. H. ]. Manahan, brakeman,
has been with the road like number
of years and ]. w. Costine, fagman,
has passed his twenty-fifth year on the
road. They have been running to.
gether as the regular crew of the train
for little over nine years.
Their present run is from Boston to
Midway, Conn, though years ago it
used to be much longer. At Midway
the train is turned over to another
crew, who have brought the return
train from Harlem river, the Boston
crew bringing the return train to this
city.
The officials of the railroad point
with great pride to this train and its
crew, which they claim is the Oldest
crew running together in New Eng.
land, and give no small share of credit
for the clockhke regularity of the
trains running to the mature expert
ence of the men who compose it's crew.
