Every town is composed of three
elements. Those who work patriotical-
ly, vigorously and intelligently for its
advancement; those who are in state
of apathy or Indifference, and those
who take a curious delight in discour-
aging the efforts Of others by ridicule
and by a persistent denial that any
progress can or has been accomplished
and by boasts Of every other town be-
sides their own. The last class are
called croakers, but they are really
something worse for their opposition
does not arize simply from despond-
ency but from that unenviable spirit
that win neither act itself nor suffer
others to act. -Ex.

MURTAGH DOING WELL.

Pat Murtagh, who was thought TO De
in a dying condition at the Hospital, IS
RAPIDLY improving and what was
Thought to be a fractured skull was
only conclusion Of the brain, result
ing from a fall or heavy blow with a
blunt instrument.
Whether Murtagh was struck across
the head is not clear, for while the
man has regained consciousness his
mind is not clear as to what happened,
though he is under the impression, and
there are others thinking the same
way. that the Waterman was assaulted
For a time the police were in great
stir over the case. When Murtagh
was picked up bleeding and uncon-
scious by several night watchmen OF
the Public Belt railroad, at Desire
street and the levee, the word was sent
to Michael Rooney, the chief clerk OF
Mayor Behrman, and Assistant Coro-
ner Rupp, brothers-in-law of the unfor-
tuna.e Waterman. Soon Inspector OF
Police Reynolds, with Chief of Detec-
tives Long and Assistant Chief of De-
tectives Mouney and a full force of de-
tectives and bluecoats were busy try
ing to unravel the affair. The first
story was that Murtagh had his skull
fractured, but after careful examina-
ton the surgeons of the hospital said
that there was no fracture, though the
hurt on the right side of the head was
ugly to say the least.
None of the men in the vicinity
could tell anything about the matter,
and the police had to wait until Muir
tagh regained consciousness. And
then the man could furnish no definite
information. Perhaps, when his mind
is clearer, Murtagh may be able to tell
something of the affair. AS it is, he is
doing nicely and there is no alarm
about his condition.

MOUNT OLIVET
NOTES.

There was a very delightful meet,
ing Of the Woman's Guild held at the
rectory last Tuesday evening. AS it
was the quarterly meeting, after the
completion of the business matters the
evening was spent playing games and
enjoying the delicious refreshments
that were served.
The rector announced last Sunday
that the Bishop of the Diocese would
visit this parish for confirmation on
the night of the Bird of March, and that
a class for adults would be held every
Wednesday evening at the rectory at
z o'clock.
Our sympathy goes out to our little
friendf Clayton August Umbach, who
was accidentally shot last Sunday af.
ternoon while playing in the Foundry
Lot" While it was one of those acct
dents that seem unpreventable, and
no one regrets it more than the little
friend who inadvertently was the
cause OF the wounding of the boy, it
cannot but serve as an illustration of
the direct result of the reckless disre-
gard of the law of our land. There is
a law against the firing of guns and
pistols, etc., in the city limits. There
is also a law against the sale of these
very weapons. Now who is in fault?
You cannot by legislation make the
people observe the law, unless the au-
thorities cause them to respect the
law, and mete out fair and just pun
ishment for each and every offence.
It is as natural for boy to hunt as it
is for him to want to "holler," but our
youth must be taught that their wants
are not to be gratified at the expense
of and at the risk of the innocent and
unsuspecting populace. Regard for
others and respect for the law must
be inculcated in our young people If
this land is to remain a republic, other
wise the prophecies of the wiseacres
will have their fulfillment and a des-
potism will ensue. In writing thus it
is with no intention of singing out the
poor little chap who was the accidental
cause Of this sorrow to both families,
but to call attention to the imminent
danger that the people live in, who are
exposed to the promiscuous discharg-
ing Of firearms in our city-which this
lamentable affair has brought into
prominence.
Last Sunday instead of the regular
Sunday-school service the rector gave
a talk on Missions, using for that pur-
pose the leaflet sent out by the Board
Of Missions.

GOVERNMENT GETS
GROUND NEEDED.
Exchange of Tracts in Algiers Gives
Additional Space for Proposed =.
Immigrant Station, Obviat-
ing Usual Delays.

Through an exchange of property
near the Immigrant Station below AL
gires, the government has obtained
more space for the proposed building
which the increased appropriation by
the last Congress has made possible.
The city owned six adjacent lots upon
which its two suburban schools were
located and for which the government
has given the city in exchange eight
lots, besides moving the schools to
their new sites and placing them in
first-class condition. This latter item
cost the government S3,119, which,
added TO the cost of the lots, $2,050,
makes a total of $3.50 as the cost of
the six lots to be acquired. Peter S.
Lawton acted as the intermediary for
the United States in concentrating
the transaction, moving the buildings
and effecting the transfers.
James ]. Manson donated two lots to
the city in consideration of one of the
schools being placed on his property.
The city therefore gets ten lots for its
six, besides having its buildings thor
Oughly renovated.
On the other hand the government
gets needed space contiguous to its
present holdings, which, when consid-
cred with the fact that the transaction
was speedily put through without the
trouble tld annoyance usual in such
cases, makes the price paid for the
six lots it acquired satisfactory to
Uncle Sam.

BOY SHOT BY FRIEND.

Clayton Umbach, fifteen years old,
PIG Vallette street, was shot through
the body and seriously injured Sunday
afternoon. The shooting was acct
dental. 1t was done by his friend,
Louis Bergeron, living in Verret street,
who was arrested and taken to the
Juvenile Court. Umbach was in the
cab of a locomotive parked in the
Southern Pacific yards in Patterson
street, near Elmira. Bergeron had
just shot a bird, when something in
the engine attracted his attention, and
he fired again. The bullet struck I'm
bach in the left side of the back. Sur.
geons at the Charity Hospital have not
been able to determine exactly its
course. The shot was fired at a dis
lance Of 100 feet.
Umbach at the time of the shooting
was with two friends, Warren Whit
more, 213 Vallette street, and Thomas
215 Vallette street. These
boys also were in the cab of the engine
playing, when Bergeron approached
with his rife. Bergeron and the other
picked up the wounded lad and car
ried him to the home of his cousin,
George White, living at 725 Patterson
street, and from there moved him to
the home of his father, August F. Um-
bach, ZIG vallette street. The family
physician was summoned, and he ad-
vised that Umbach be removed to the
Charity Hospital.

AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION.

An interesting meeting was held on
last Thursday night at the Office of
Jules Bodenger in Delaronde street,
when an association was formed of
the automobile owners on our side of
the river. The organization is to be
known as the Automobile Owners Pro-
tective Association, and it's member
ship is made up of the following we'll
known citizens: DR.. Jno. A. Rupp, DR..
M. j. Manent, DR.. M. o. Carey, Jules
Bodenger, DR.. NJ. NJ. Lowe, DR.. A. J.
Baoiu, Chris. Stumpf, G. LATTE, DR.. A.
c. King, Jos. w. Lennox, DIR. r. L.
Riley and j. c. Mathews. The follow
ing officers were elected: ]. w. Len
nox' chairman; DR.. A. C. King, secre-
tary; Jules Bodenger, treasurer.
II has not been given out for publ
cation what the real object of the
association is, but there are many rea-
sons why an association of this kind
should be formed, some of which might
be mentioned as the improvement of
our suburban roads, and also to take
care of such adverse legislation affect
ing the owners of this class of vehicles.
1t might be pointed out, for instance.
that in the Fire Prevention Bureau
they have placed upon the automobile
owners certain restrictions that would
necessarily add quite an expense to
the owner of an auto. Like assocla-
tons on the other side of the river
are also directing their efforts along
these same lines, and, especially are
they advocating good roads. The road |
to Chef Menteur is the result Of an
organization composed mostly of the
owners Of automobiles.

gets at which an unknown white man
fired an Intellectual shot Saturday even
mig, at Elmira avenue and Patterson
street. The same fellow fired three
other shots, one of the bullets passing
between the fingers of a Waterman,
whose name the police also failed TO
learn. The affair occurred at the South
ern Pacific transfer landing, and it is
supposed that one doing the shooting
was in the employ of that company,
as he and his five companions took
refuge in the transfer station after the

Cut Down Free Water.

Instead of allowing 1000 gallons free
water for each person residing on the
premises and 500 gallons for each oc.
cupant not sleeping on the premises,
such as servants and other help, which
is the old rule, the amount of free
water to be allowed is to be one-third
the total consumption. For the other
two-thirds a rate of 10 cents per 1000
gallons will be charged. The smallest
consumer will be charged first the 81
for the quarter as a minimum fixed
rate, which will cover the meter rental
OF 30 cents, and 65 cents service.
Should the consumption be 5000 gal.
Ions, one-third, or 5000 gallons, will
be allowed for sewerage free, and the
consumer will pay 10 cents per 1000
gallons for the remaining 5000 gallons,
or 90 cents, making the total bill 81. 60,
instead OF 81, the present rate.
For the large consumers, the charge
will be 10 cents per 1000 gallons I'D
TO 10000 gallons. All water used over
10000 gallons will be charged for at
q cents per 1000 gallons. Chairman
Voegtle said that the total reduction
for small consumers would aggregate
about 100000 per year, and $4,000 a
year for large consumers. The reduc-
tons will only apply to those who are
or viii be connected with the sewerage
system.
