There is one ligure which, iu the light of the Democratic catastrophe, be /comes heroic. It is the flgure of David B. llill. No demigod of myth or pula diu of romauce ever made u sacrifice or kept u tryst with more unselfish fidel- iU or brilliant courage. That he led a forlorn hope was uo fault of his. That the cliniioo was desperate oasts uo blame oil tiiin. He answered the call of duty, he discharged the debt of tiooor and obligition, he led as any knight that ever laid a Itiuue iu rest, and, though he has beeu overthrown, the lustre of his shield is without u blot and the brightness of his loyal falchiou is uu stained. Man cannot do more than keep faith according to his lights. Richard Ccour do Lion, with a hundred thousand warriors behind him ou the plain ot Aore, was not greater than L toniila. at Thermopile or Horaliuj at the bridge. From irieuds and foes alike David li. Mill «nl receive the applause that ho bus ho richly earned. Everywhere au I by all classes of liih follow citizens lie will lie recognized and celebrated as the most gallau',, the most admirabl , and tht) most interesting aotor iu the ilrauia that culminated on Tues day la*t. That lie met defeat will not dim?it uill even inteusih?the brillianc. of his achievement Idn has shown that he is faithful iu oalamity as will as iu triumph; that misfortune do s not dull the edge of his devotion, and thai pi ril does not check the splen- did valor of his charge. He ia the beau ideal of the solditl', whether iu politios or war?the man who never sulks or shirks. He stands by hiß cause ill foul weather as iu fair, aud, if anything, ad- versity oulv spurs hiH com uge and li nda now power to his arm. The American people will not soon forget this episode of which Hill wus the gigautio central ligure. He will live iu men's admiration as long as uieu h uior loyally and rever- ence what is great and brave.?

Aldermen Goiirley, Fox and Mc- Kenzie Charge Each Oilier. Ghand Display of Vulgaii Ora- TOItY AT THE MEETING TUESDAY Evening. The regu'iir meeting of the Board of Trustees wus held iu the Corporation rooms 011 Tin s.lay evening, ivith all the member* piesent. The Messrs. Mo- K\t zie and Fox were curly ou hand, tie ? 'i lit r metnbeis airived shortly after 7 !!(l ( lie tiuio of meeting), and took iheir seals without the slightest evi- 'ence that there was anyone else iu the km in From iheir action it wis evi- dinlihat ihe eonibiiiation referred to iu the limkh several weeks ago was solid y an 11 ied, and that the members < f lie combine had arranged their pro- gramme and were detcitnined upoa canyiug it out The President called the meiting to order, the clerk rend the minutes of the pieceeding regular and speoial meetings, which were adopted. Mr. Fiunnm then read the following bills: William Benson, $5 50; Asa Rose, 822 50; Jacob Halm, $12 50; S B. Call, 330; Oils Vetters, SCO; Springsteen Bros , 814 01; W. L Be z, 8100 50; Jimcs Oiborne, SI 1 50; Heury Phillip, 858.74; Havrstraw Qas Com- pany, 8154 58; Haverstraw Water Com pauy, 814 58; Electrio Light Co, 82C3 0G Mr. MoCabe wanted to kuow bow the bill of Betz was to be paid, Tbisopeue the dramatic performance that would have drawu a big uudi euce to a large Opera House if the same bad been properly adver- tised. Mr. McKenzie said it made no difference where the money was to come from, the bill should be paid. Mr. McKenzie then examined the bills read, and while so engaged a bill was handed him by the clerk which bad not been read aud which proved to be a bill of the Qas Company for laying the Front street Alderman's water pipe. The aristocratic reprt sentative then attacked the bills of the corporation employees, saying that they were not properly i'.emiz-d. That in the bills did not state the partiouh r places the men were employed. Whether or not this was done with the inteutiou to throw the combination oil' the track, the attempt was a failure The employ- ees' bills were ordered paid, together with the Belz Jones & Furmau and the Light Compftuys' bills, The Henry Philips bill, which was lor woik done upon the Corporation building, was ordered laid over, aud he wanted the bill for laying the wuter pipes fiom West Broad to Front street, which was of bis orderiug, laid over until a more harmonious feeiiug prevadeit, but it would uot work. The bill called for 8308.85 for the laying of 2,130 feet of pipe and connections at 14 J cents per foot. Mr. McCabe, who was apparently the champion of the combination, moved that a committee be appointed to measure the distance from the start- ing point of the McKenzie \Pipe Line\ to Jenkins' corner. This was adopted, the committee voting iu favor, as iu fact they did upon all other questions, while the lion and the lamb voted 111 the negative. Mr. McCabe was ap- pointed us such committee. The ad- option of this resolution started Mr. McKenzie, who wanted to kuow who put the watering tauk iu the street, near Halm's comer, and by what authority. Mr. G.iurly leplied to the latter pait of j the question by asking the olerk to consult the records of the minutes of a ' meeting held iu Juue. 1893, which read j that the Street Committee were em- powered to erect three watering tanks, one at the cemetery, one on Broadwav, near the residence of Mr. Tieruey, and the other near the (Jlove House. As ' the Alderman never oaused but two of the watering troughs to be erected, he took his authority from the resolution read by the olerk. Mr. McKenzie pro- duced his little bible, aud iu an intro- ductory speeoh bitterly arrainged the West side Aldermen for liis action iu ereotiuf, the watering tauk, calling the Alderman a Coxeyite, winding up his harrnugue by asking the olerk to read the law, saying that if be, the Alder- man, read it some of the members would not believe it wus true. The olerk complied with Mr. McKenzie's request, whereupon that gentleman wanted to give the Alderman from the Westside avetlue some good advice, und said that Coxey went to Washii g- ton and had gotteu iu trouble, und that he did not want to see his friend Gour- ley in the same kind of a muss. Mr, Goutluy arose iu his seut with the air of a conqueror, aud started for Mr. MoKenzie baldheaded, saying that Mr: McKenzie wus the big toad iu the pud die, aud if ?he could uot have his way it was ull wrong, und ohurgod him wiih a selfish motive wlieu he, us chairman of the Street Committee, advocated the narrowing of Division street, he did so beouuse he obtained over 750 squure feet of ground for his Division street property, aud that if he had a sixteeu- year-old boy going to school who did not exhibit morn bruins than lie did he would kick him out, und followed this line ot atluok by charging Mr. McKuu- zie with being a frequent vlsiu r to Alderman Fox's suloou aud wlieu emer- ging therefrom, acted in a suspicious mauuer iu wiping his lips with his haudkeiohiet'. Mr Fox caum to Mr. McKenzie's rescue and recalled the fact of bis ludiotment iu his crusude ugaiust the Eagle Hotel, and recalled the uiau- uer iu which the indictment was ob- ! tamed aud said that Mr. Gourley wus u member of the Gruud Jury und used the Gruud Jury rooms us a shield, und i that Mr. Gourley aided iu seeming the t indictment to get square with some one. it Mr. Fox reiterated that what tie then a said was true, und that he would go ou tlie stand now or uuy time and repeat the statement made at (bat time. Mr, j Gourley evidently expected tliia, tor ; with a burst of oratory be denounced Ih i Aide rman for running a gambling house and welling whiskey on Sunday, while In was posing ns a \reformer \ Mr. Fox, however, bad not spent all of his eloquence,for be exiled Mr. Oourley to time and got an acknowledgement that be drank some of the wbiskiy and got it for nothing, Mr. Fox also aid tbat be bad kt pt bis place closed for over two years in an endeavor to comply with the law, aud tbat when Mr. Goar ley found him violating the law, it whs his (Gourley's) duty as an offioer to ar- rest him. Mr. Fox then went at Gourley hummer ami tongues, winding up with the statement that when be (Gourley) stood up and buttoned bia coat it covered the specimen of humanity that eve. existed in Haver- straw, and that be was not fit to sit upon a jury or anv other place with decnt people. Gourlev replied that the Giand Jury formed an opinion of Mr, Fox and had so expressed it, Mr, McKenzie said be regretted the sceues enacted, but felt tbat a sense of duty compelled bim t> aot as be bad, aud although he had been bitterly ussailed, he still was charitable, and whs still anxious to keep Mr. Gourley out of trouble for old frieudsbip sake. Mr Gourley said be would take care ol l>im«elf and moved the paymeut of the Call aud Hammond bill, which was for the mason work in constructing the tauk. Mr. Brabm wanted a recorded vote, whiob resulted as follows; Messrs Brahm, Tieruey, McC.ibe aud Gourley voting aye and Messts. Fox ana Mo- Ke-zte uo. The bill of James O-borne, which was also for work upon the waturing tauk, was ordered paid by the same vote. The bill of the Gas Company for $15158 which was for materials fur- uished and work done in the ereotion of a bridge on Clove avenue, near the Gas Works, was ordered rt-jeoted, as it was claimed that the collapse of tbo bridge was in a great measure due to tbo excavations of the Gas Company in tkiug the sand from tbe bank adjoining the brook wbioh caused tbe bridge to wash away Mr. McKenzie as the oommitte ap pointed to investigate the damages sus- tained by the Eokersnu'H during tbe severe storm in tbe early Fall, made a report in which be stated tbat the Eekerson's were not entitled to aiiy damages. Tbe report was adopted upon motion of Mr. McCabe, Tbe question of erecting rails on the east hide of Broadway was brought up, l«ut the financial erudition of the village treasury was such as to preclude -any extended improvements. Mr Mc- Kenzie stated that be had measured the street at MoGowaii's corner, where the accident occurred some weeks ago, aud found that the street at that point was only 39 feet wide, A temporary railiug was ordered erected, wbioh is to be re placed iu the Spiihg, when tbe street is to be wideued aud permaneut rails erected aloug the east side of the street from Jeffersou street to tbe Snedeker pre perty. Mr. MoKenzie offered the following resolution, which was ordered laid on the table by the same vote as tbat which decided thr Call aud Ham- mond bill: W HBitEAS, Mr. James Gourley has caused to be ereoted iu the publio road, a structure without any authority from this Board, thereby endangering public travel at tbe juuetiou of Wesislde ave- nue aud tbe road leading to Garnerville, being in direot violation of the statute of this State,, wbioh Bays that a \per- sou who places, erects or oocup eg within tbe bounds of any street or ave- nue of a city or village, any but or other structure without lawful author- ity, is guilty of a misdemeauot; now, therefore Resolved, Tbat the clerk of this Board . serve a written uotice ou the said Jameß Gourley, notifying him to cause said structure to be removed, aud that the j street be returned to as good a con- dition as it was iu before be ereoted the struoture complained of within six days after receiving notice from the olerk. I Mr. MoCahu as tile committee ap- -1 pointed to seleot subscriptions aud se- cure plans aud estimates lor the repair- iug|Of the Maiu sireet spring, reported that he had seen Mr. Albert Carson, aud that geutlema i had prepared a plau by whtoh he would guarantee to raiße the water to the required height, and that the plan was then in ihe pos- session of Mr. Zundel. Mr. McKenzie said no water could be made to run up bill. Mr, McCabe said that it was uot the iuteutiou to make tbe water ruu up bill, but tbat the aotual measurements as made by Mr. Jobn D. Christie showed tbat tbe water would have a fall of 3 feet. This was disputed by Mr, MoKenzie, but be was promptly called dowu by Mr. Christie, who wjb pres- ent. Mr. McCabe then i ffdred a reso- lution that Mr. A. J. Carson ed to erect or construct the well or walls for tbe protection of the spring ascording to the plaus iu the po>t>ess- ion of the Presideut, Mr. Carson to guarantee to exeoute tiie work so that the Wnter would be carried tbe required distance. This was adopted by the same votes as the other matters, except iu the case of Mr. Fox who asked to be exoused from voting, as he did uot waut to vote without knowing the aotual cost of the work. Tbe reports of the banks aud the Village Treasurer was reouived aud ordered tiled. A cominu- mcatiou was reoeived from the Gas Company, asking that u frauoh.se be awurded them to ereot a system of sewers, giving ihem the exclusive right for ten years, the to lay a two foot tile pipe iu Maiu street aud Broad- way aud to sewer uot less th»u live miles of streets, providing the village would make a contract to pay $3 000 a year lor teu years for tbe use of tbe sewers (or village purposes, The sewera to be built under the supervision of a practioal eugiueer, aud a boud to lie giveu by thn company the same us given by the Gas Company, Tbe Presi- dout, Messrs. Brahm, McCabe and Mo lvei zie were appointed a committee to investigate the matter. The meotiug then adjourned, thus eudiug the most disgraceful meetiug ever held by the L Board of Trustees, WHO IS TO BLAME For the Deplorable Condition of the Pdblio Streets? ? On aeveial occasions reoently we have called attention to the fact that the Haverstraw Fuel and Gas Company eeem to absolutely own the streets of this villuge and could tear aud dig them up at their own sweet will, aud after laying their pipes leave the streets in the worst condition imaginuble. When the mutter was first called to our attention tbe Gas Company corrected the abnsts to an extent, but, they have evidently become emboldened to suy the least by the carelessness of tbe au- thorities. How long the public propose to Btaud the outrage remains to be seen in faot many cilizons are commenting on the faot that only a short time sinoe any resident or taxp tyer who desired to put water or gas in tbe house uud were compelled to make an excavation in the street for that or any other purpose was compelled by resolution of the Board of Trustees to apply to the chair- of tbe Street Committee for a permit and in addition pay 83. This amount was for the purpose of leulaoiug the stieet in as good condition as it was befote the excavation was mule. When the Gas Company was granted the fruuehit-e to erect their plant and lay pipes through the streets of the village one of tbe stipulations made by the Board of Trustees was tlx ? t the streets were to be replaced aud put in an good condition aB before any excavations were*made. In ordet to show the gen- uiueness of their intentions, the com- pany gave the village a bond which was supposed to guarantee tbp faithful performance of their oontract and also to idemuify the village against any loss that might arise by reason of their failure to comply with the terms of the franchise. How flagrant the violations of the terms of the contract are can oulv be formed by persons who are ac- customed to use theelreets for driviug purposes, to Buy nothing of the law suits that the village will be called upon 'o defend. Aa for instance the cases of Mr. Asbury Shay and Andrew Baisley, who were severely injured by being dumped down the hill ou the eastside of Broad- wiy, near Warren avenue, Somo of the streets in whioh excavations have been made, are iu a horrible condition. For a sample of the ooudition in whioh the streets have been left, one should start on West street, near South exteudiug all the way up West street there is a hill or ridge nearly a foot high. At the junotion of Fourth and West one must be very oareful or the result will be a broken wagon spring. Some of the worst specimens of work ii the manuer iu which the trench whioh was dug iu Westside aveuue has been filled iu. It looks as if uo attempt whatever was made to stamp the earth as iu mauy places where a horse stepped upon the soft earth the imprint of the animal's foot is imbedded in the earth to the depth of three to six inches Iu other p aees the mounds or ridges are from six i'lches to oue foot in height. This continued ull the way up the avenue us far us the pipes have been j laid, aud has caused many compluints . from taxpayers and oit zens generally. 1 The B lard of Trustees should give this matter their caieful uttention. : The Gaß Com pauy iu one way or another has employed a majority of the Board of Trustees; this aloue is suffici- ent to oause the comment. Tlie mutter demands and it certuiuly looks as though the Gas Company wus \monarch of all they Burveyed, partioulurly the streets of this vilb.Ke \ It is purt ol the Trustees duty to guard the streets, iu li.ot, are uot the taxpayers now burdened with expensive litigation in trying to proteot some of the streets, uud yet they permit this greedy corporation to ruthlessly destroy oue of the principal streets, aud oue that it must be safe to estimate bus oot-t the tuxpayeis of Haverstruv at least 810,000 within the lust two years. Some of the Trustees will be looking for reelection next Spriug, and when that time come the people who vote may have something to say iu the matter. It will be remembered > hut some time sinoe the Board got iu a wrangle about who should supeiiutend the excavations the result beiug thut the whole Board was to do so, but, this looks as if the old adge, \what's everybody's business is no body's business\ wus true iu this case. What is the matter with the Street Committee ? We are under the impres- siou that the law distinctly makes it the impeartive duty of the Street Com- mittee to oompel the Gas Company to ooniply with the terms of their contract and replace the streets in tbe same or equally a<i good a condition us before the excavation. If this condition of thiugs is peimited through the others street iu which excavations are to be made the people will oertaiuly oome to the conclusion that the same \argu- ments\ are beiug used that wore wlieu tbe Water Compauv laid their pipes. However, wo wouldn't like to think auythiug like that of the Trustees, tint, if such should be the case, Messrs, geutlemeu, you are bring purchased at less than list pric s, for we kuow wheie some stock cau be purchased consider- able below par, aud we know that the holders are very auxious to dispose ol it, so take the Tutlis' advice if you propose selling see that you don't pay any more thun market vulue prices. 1 AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

Master James Fiunerty, sou of James Finnerty, who resides near Itosaville, was playing in the door yard of his father's residenoe on Saturday last. Upou a barrow was u water barrell, which was used by the family to carry water from the hydraDt to the house for household uurposes. The lad in play, fng around the yard climbed upon the barrow and in some manner upset the same, throwing the barrel and himself to the ground. The barrel roll«d on the boy's leg, fracturing it at the thigh. In falling, the little fellow caught at the handle ot the barrow in an attempt to save himself and in doing so the st oond and third fingers of his left hand was caught between the barrow and barrel, the Augers being badly smashed. A physician was summoned, who dressed the little fellow's wounds and made him as comfortable as possible. HOUSE BURNED. A tenement bouse on the property of Mr. Felix McCabe, near Saul avenue, was discovered to be on fire by tbe watchman of tbe West Sbore Railroad early on Wednesday morning. An alarm was q iickly given, and tbe resi- dents of tbut vicinity responded with so muob promptness tbat tbe flames were quiokly subdued. About 3:30 o'olook on Thursday mornicg tbe house was again discovered to be ou fire. The (limes ibis time baviug gaiued consid- erable head way ;rbe building, wbioh waß a double tenement house, was complete- ly destroyed. Tbe building contained a large quanity of rags which bad been stored there for some time. What paused the lire can only be surmised. The first fire was thought to have beeu caused by some tramps, who, probably broke iu the building and slept there on Tuesday night, and in all probabil- ity a lighted match or spark from a pipe. This theory would seem plausi- ble, as the first fire took plaoe between fivt! and six o'clock in the morning, but the fact that the fire that oousiiuied the building in tbe early hours of Thursday morning was first discovered shortly after 3 o'olook, making it look as if the fire bugs who have caused tbe destruc- tion of so much property in this vicinity the past two years were agaio at work however, it may be that the fire of Wednesday slumbered during tbe day aud night until tbe flames broke out the eeooud time, but tbat is improbable, a The building was insured for #500. contents are a total loss. f COMPENDIUM OF THE CENSUS.
