W AR EXPERIENCES.

R e la te d by a M em ber o f 7 1 s t N ew Y o rk V o lu n teers .

For nearly ag. hour’ last even ing T. Edward Murtaugh, a member of the Seventy first New York volunteers, held J;hfl_olofleflb-attentlon-ottheSoclal-Stu- dents and their frl.eods,.who had.assem- bled at The Hanlon, Cookman avenue, by hfs recital of hia experiences during the late war. Mr. Mu*taugh Ib nearly s ix teot in height, and well proportioned —an ideal form for a soldier. In m an. ner-be4a modest-bufccordial,—and'hrtbe* highest degree sincere. No one could doubt the perfect accuracy o f . every statem ent.

One th in g was noticeable from the I r a tr^ a M ely v ^ ^ Isp ^ tto n ^ o n a v b id ^

every word and im plication that m ight be construed as a reflection upon his officers, but in g iv in g a plain recital of facts it was im p ossib le'to avoid It e n ­tirely. W hen he sffid, fOr exam ple, that ^ '^^ttttiri0d^rT egTaieH fc“T fifb T tip 't? w hen everyone knew that the colonel should have done It, no one could help thlnM n^ that the co lon el' was either in hld in ^ or fe ign ing sickness..

Mr. M prtaugh w ent-with the Seventy- first regim ent early in May. Before they wore even out o f tbo state there was a shortage o f food.. There w ere m any discomforts, some ot w hich are ln< cldental to soldiering, but m any of which could have boen avoided by pToper m anagem ent. Tbe trip from Florida to Southern Cuba occupied a m onth. The boat was so crowded, the air so close, and the heat ao great, that men were som etim es dragged half un-

cation. A t the ldaufng m m were obliged to waSa Jn the wateif, holding tbeir guns above their beads.

On tha way tbey witnessed some of the work ot our big guns. A puff of siffdke would be seec from a warship, sad than by looking ashore, some prom­inent object, aa a house, fort or earth­work, souM vanish in s flash. Out men evidently ehst to hit and fjucceedet

And then, when the fight le fair­ly 011. and the -ssdtement high, all fear vanishes, and tha entire attention een tars sspon winning th® victory. And ihey-did win, While going up the hUl, tbe Spaniards fired c* -a their heads, bo that bat few were tilled. And whan they gained the top, the enemy were in full retreat.

The colored troop's were brava almost to recklessness. Although Shey were ’regalarf,* tod so entitled to feel the

size of their ibssds, as away snppoM, th ey -^ w a . like tro tte r? to tb tf volun­teers,. serving them fn every possible ■way, in action or off doty. To much cannot be said of the excellence of their conduct.

Speaking of ragularg—wj the way home, after leaving half their number ii - i ■ Berm xtu..,.,..-iy for want of food, but were denied it when apparently it could have bean fur­nished, The stewards demanded $2 for a glass af ice water, and young Tiffany offeresf J3.C00 for ne good r-.aal At t*i<5S0.fc\ir. . tbe TOgimaata! 003*85 s fnva- dining below, while ihe men weredying on deck.

in g th e w ater off from the tw o fire h y . drants • on South *Main street.' This action on thd part o f the tow nship wa*i caused by a w ater bill 6f $l.O0O, which w § a ,4 3 ^ ^ b ^ to lh a jiU )n ^ b eh a l f-o f* th » c ity for th e use o f the tw o fire hy­drants for ken years.

The presentation o f the bill called forth an investigation on the part o f the township authorities, who ascertained that an agreem ent, had been made bef tween the former water commissioners and the resident’s c f'S o u th Main street whereby th ey w e fo to have th e use of th e,tw o lire hydrants free of charge in consideration o f the right given tb e city to.iay its pipes tn: front of their resi­dences, as long as the pipes remained there and in ubo.

Counselor H aw kins said tbat under the Act of 1884 th e water com m issioners had a right to condemn or purchase lajids.fQr.tb&extenaionof'thew-ater'Ber-1 vitfe.’ Instead o flr istltu tin g condemna tion proceedings they had entered into an agreem ent w ith certain property owners, aa above set forth. The power of the w ater/com m issioners, be said, was absolute, and unless tbe board jbiad som e evidence other than he knew of, he saw n o 'o th er course than to allow th e Injunction to stand.

George W. Treat, one o f th e former water com m issioners, was present, and w as invited by tha acting president to te ll what be *knew about the case in question. A Hvely tim e followed.

Mr. Treat salcLheJiadrecalged.a-very- courteous invitation to be present last evening, w hich was in strong contrast to the criticism and abuse whioh has been heaptsd. upon the former water com m issioners by the city council since they were legislated out of office in a secret session. H e said he had noticed som e o f tho criticism s o f th e board w hich had appeared in the P bkss, and he thought i t was unjust, and to say the least, unbecom ing gentlem en, and en­tirely w ithout cause.

"Your former w ater commisBionerBl’, Continued Mr. Treat, “ built and m an­aged your water plant for 11 years, w ith a profit to the o ity outside of the first year. D uring our adm inistration we appropriated thousands of dollars o f the earnings of th s w ater department to th e construction fund; thertftbre I say we are entitled to respect instead o f con­demnation, and th is is ,the first tim e I have had the opportunity to express m y views."

A t th is.poin t Mr. Harvey interrupted Iha^ speaker, and Informed him-that-ibe had been invited to be present last night to g ive the board inform ation regarding tho suit of the township against the oity, and not to arraign the members o f city council.

“ But I have th e right to be heard iny w n behalf," retorted Mr. Treat. '“ There is no doubt about th at,” re­

plied Mr. H arvey, “but the questions which you bave been aaked can be an­swered In a few words, and If you have been offended in sttch a way th at vou w ant a hearing, or if y ou w ant to a|r_a Tjersonal'grl&vattce^T have no douBFtheboard w ill g ive you tne floor after the present m atter ha^ been disposed of."

“I don’t care to a ir any personal

m T rw p rotS S t against she outrageous treatm ent and criticism o f your formez water comm issioners at tb e te n d s of oom m ta council. It Is m anifestly u n ­ju st and un fair. Our m otives bave been im pugned and our character; .questioned after years o f publio service, and I have Smarted under the stigm a long enough."

President H arvey ssgais interrupted the speaker and esk ed him to confine him self to th e question at Issue,

“ W eil,,M r. President," continued Mr. Treat, lA t'm e say. tbat there was an

It appears th at Mrs. Burke, who kept a boarding housg in Asbury Park, was returning to her hom e in W est .Park on th e cver.ii'g pLJhly 30’last, on 4 trolley bar; and had to transfer at E ighth ave­nue and Main street,'.

N othing much was thought of th e m atter at th e tim e, but later on the concussion 'caused to th e brain took a serious aspect, and now it is feared may result fatally.

There w i l l be several doctors to testify on each side, and expert testim ony w illba used on both, side* to show w hat the pos- sitale-futare CMnditfon'Of M rarBuf K ew iir be. Much interest is centered in the trial.

Members Keator, W iibur and Appleby were pres- M Ljma k Ipg jjj[J8fv .qufiwim^OTBVTv-»~-’«-w

Councilman ^Appleby sprung a aur prise upon his colleagues during the evening by introducing a resolution' to the effect that the salary o f the' mayor, after the close o f tbe present fiscal year, be fixed at $250 Instead of $500, as at present. Member Appleby said the office was one of an honorary nature and the duties, he contended, were not very arduous. He did not think the city could afford to pay $500, and was under the impreasion that $250 was a fair price.

Councilman W ilbur thought it would be w ise to Jay the matter Over until some future tim e, probably until the new board came into office, but Jfr. Appleby

.gftldsfcl^m atter^al/ouldw beeettied’b lfG t^ election, bo that the m ayor who Is td be chosen in April would know w hat the salary was before he consented to run. He thought it would be unfair to- re­duce the salary after the new mayor had been elected w ith the expectation of gettin g §500.

Dr. Keator said he thought h f favored the reaulution, and would orobably vote for it, but he suggested that it be laid upon th e table until the next m eeting, in order that it m igh t com e before the entire board. Mr, Xppleby agreed to this, and fhe m atter was laid over for tw o weekss“ Chief Schneider of the fire departm ent reported that the damage done to W es­ley’s steamer at Hotel Windsor fire had been repaired, and that she was in bet­ter shape now than before the accident. He also called attention to the fire buck­ets at the opera hoyae, and said that he had requested a number o f tim es th at they be filled with water, but no atten­tion was paid to hia request. The report again called attention to the fact that a number of fire hydrantB need attention, and recomm ended that tw o larger Are extinguishers ba purchased for the truck, and that the two now In use on thia apparatus be transferred to Neptune for use on their new hose wagon.

The report was referred to th e fire and water com m ittee for their inspec­tion and recommendation.

A n application from Charles J . Beegle' for permission to erect an iron pole oh Ehfe corner o f Sixth avenue and Emory street, to conduct electric wires under­ground to a building, was granted.

S . L. Bartholom ew presented a report show ing the alterations necessary to be made to the fire hydrants. An estim ate was also presented show ing the cost in each case of the material. Both docu­ments were filed for future reference.

An application from the New York and New Jersey Telephone company for a franchise to place their wires under­ground was laid over for consideration at a fu ll m eeting o f the board.

Dr. Keator said the question o f tbe price paid to c ity laborers, and the em ­ployment of Asbury Park people, had jeen^aised.— H e w a n te d to sa y tH a ta a " far as practicably Asbury Park resfdenta were employed by th e street commitilee, and that the gineTal rate^of w ages paid^ aron E.

to the fact that th e work on the brick gutters on First avenue was stiJI unfin­ished, H e adm itted ’that w e had had rather & hard w inter, but said there had been days when tj?£-. m en could have worked. He said '-he was s till in favor of contracting public work. Tlje c ity would then know beforehand w hat such work would cost, and there w ould be a specified tim e for its com pletion., Chief o f Police Sm fth presented the plana and specifications for th^v pro­posed new j a i l . in th e basem ent th e city building. The total cost was m ated at about 5800. The matter referred to the police com m ittee. ,Ei bodied in the 5800 is $408, w hich ia thi price given for five cells.

The fire and water com m ittee were authorized to provide a new sign for Neptune Engine house. The pri(£e fixed was 580. _

E. P. Benjam in requested the board to cancel the water charges for his house on Fourth avenuaj_ w hich was not occupied during tha year. ”’"B, H. W il­cox made a sim ilar request regarding his Asbury avenue property, w h ich was vacant during last sum m er. The mat­ter was referred to the fire and water com m itteo.

Mr. Appleby moved that th e superin­tendent oL tlie water departm ent.be in­structed t( \b e g in a houso to, house in­spection of wate>r fixtures for the'pur- posaxLCv4ocatiu4^««^i-‘&twi'-thatrtie‘T8ar' port w eekly to the board. Mr. Appleby thought the present force employed could do thia-Twork. Mr, H arvey saicL th e tire and water com m ittee’ had taken the matter up, and would report at the next m eeting Mr. Appleby’s motion was carried. .

Dr. Keator introduced a resolution providing for the appointm ent o f a com ­m ittee to w ait upon Mr, Bradley and ascertain w hat it would cost to lease a num bef pf lo tsL w est o f th e railroad, w ith the option of buying* the-ground to be usgd os a c ity corporation yard. The. resolution was adopted, and Messrs. Keator and Appleby w ere appointed atf that com m ittee. *.

Chief Sm ith recomm ended th a t an­other cruaade be com m enced against buildings whioh are not provided with fire s c a p e s . H e thought th e proper notices should be served a t once, Ip or- dfcr th a t. the worfc could be done this spring. The matter was referred to tbe fire and water com m ittee for their Con­sideration.

C O K C E R N I N t i P I A N O S ,The department stores sell a piano tor $125

and $150for which they pay from $66 to $85. I can seUjjou the some pianos for $80 to $100. I can beat even the department stores. Of course you don’t want to buy such an Instrument; they are pretty poor. But what do you think of a •‘reputable*’ dealer who eells these $75 things for $300 f This is not just advertising talk, but the pl^ln truth. I can really and honestly sell you a piano for which buyers here tn town were charged $850. This week I sold to Mr. James 8tokes of Freehold, a piano for $290: through the regular dealers he would have paid $550. I know It hurts to have these prices made public, but let us look a t It from “the greatest good to the -rreatest number” point of view. The dealer has isd i t all, now give the people a chance. I tune

Elanos—no dealiitin town can. I-tiknow pianos, ave no fancy expenses, and can undersstTfcny

dealer. I sell Hasteton Bros., Strich Sc Zeldler. Bradbury, Fischer, and In fact almost any piano you want.

A few yenrs flgo, when M iss Oelln T haxter lived on nn Island off the coast o f N ew England, am ong her flowers and binVfc w as a grrayDarrot that she had inherited from her m oth­er. Polly, how ever much she w as en­deared to th e poet through long asso­ciation w ith her fam ily, w as roundly bated by i h e islanders. "

One o^ the w ays by w hich Polly made herself disagreeable was through her pow w r o f m lm icrj. To her m istress she w as invariably sweot* □ess and (‘ourtesy, and she would cry

Celia, Celia.” as if she were calling the nam e o f her most Idolized friend. In the most m usical > and endm yinu tones possible; and from that turn to im itating the bashful, whispering ut- ternneeS o f a sh y ' lit t le ’' N orwegian m aid^until the girl* would be teased beyond endurance.

In approaching P o l l / s cage It .w as no umfsual tiling for a visitor to be cantiva.ted w ith her coy and- artless m anner and the. very caressing way she had o f putting-* out a claw in friendly welcom e, and then, w hen the unwary mortal w as w ith in her reach, she would drive that enticing claw Into h is flesh like a thing o f .
