RECEIVERS BODY
Of DROWNED BOY
Fire Dept. Man With Graphing
Hook Finds Newark Bay
Victim.

The body of thirteen-year-o old
Stephen Martin, who was drowned
Sunday while swimming in Newark
bay, off Doremus avenue, was recoy-
cred late yesterday by Matthew T.
Quigley, inspector of fire apparatus,
of this city, after a several hours
grapple.
Mr.. Quigley, who is an old friend of
the drowned boys father, William
Martin used a graphing device con-
structed by himself for the occasion,
after the ordinary graphing hooks
had failed.
The father was present on the dyke
when the body was found. In order
to spare the parent the shock of
seeing the body in the clutch OF the
hooks Mr.. Quigley drew 1t out of the
water on the rowboat's farther side,
and 1t was not until the boat made
the landing that anybody on shore
knew that the body had been found.
At first Mr.. Quigley had grappled
nearly 200 feet from the spot where
the boy had sunk. This was owing
to misleading reports by persons who
claimed to have seen the accident.
After wasting an hour and half in
this fruitless fashion a man who ac-
Ludlly naO Witnessed the UOy ul5dp-
pear pointed out the spot to Mr.. Quig-
| ley. Within three minutes after that
the body was found.
The graphing iron used by Mr.
| Quigley consisted of a pipe six feet
long to which were attached sixteen
shark hooks.
| Young Martin had been swimming
with a number of other boys wher
the steamboats, Majestic and Minerva
appeared The boys shouted with glet

Dover Council Votes
to Eliminate Two Cases
of Water Nuisance


DOVER, July 2S.-The members OF
the Common Council decided to elm
mate the water nuisance on the
sichies property in East Blackwell
street at a meeting last might, and
authorized the street committee to
purchase $50 feet of tile pipe for that
purpose. For the past three years
the owner of the property. W. W.
Sickles, has urged the officials to have
the nuisance abated. The expense will
be borne by the county, town and
Morris County Traction Company
The property has been flooded with
water, partly because of the widen
ing of Blackwell street at that point,
and from the drainage from South
Morris street As Blackwell street is
a county road, the freeholders have
agreed to pay one-third of the cost.
Another nuisance caused by inade-
quate drainage was reported by New
ton Ely, a property owner in McFar-
Ian street, who stated that he had
submitted petitions and appeared be-
fore the council personally many
times during the past five years seek
ing aid in the repair of the present
drain or the installation of new
drain. THE street is flooded with
water" said Mr. Ely, latter each
storm, because the drain is clogged
with refuse and sand. Councilman
Herman d. Mol1er informed Mr.. Ely
that steps would be taken Immediate
ly to remedy the conditions in that
locality.
A resolution was passed STIMULATING
that the town and the property own
ers on Blackwell street each pay one
half of the cost of resetting the curbs
on each side of the street to conform
with the survey for the laying of
amesite. Mayor william L. r. Lynd
explained that the work was neces-
sary and should proceed at once.
Several applications from business
men for permission to hang signs in
front of their respective places OF

will COST about $4,000, the Dunlop

about $4,000. The n. II. Halsey

is being felt keenly. Never in the
history of the municipality has there
been such lack of building.
