large coal companies that there is no
intention of changing the present

he said, “will continue through the
winter. ”

Famous Pauper at Piscataway Poor
Farm Likely to Pass Away at
Any Moment. .
Noah Ruby, who claims the distinc
tion of being 132 years old, and pro
bably the oldest living man in this
section, if not in the entire country,
is rapidly sinking and is likely to die
at any time.
For several months past, according
to Mrs. Hummer, matron at the Pis
cataway poor farm, near New Bruns
wick, the old man has been gradually
weakening and able *to leave h is bed
ouly for a short time. His memory is
almost entirely gore* and when he
talks he does.so in a ratebling and in
coherent manner. Becauso u'i his en^
foebled condition, owing to an u'Mijd*
of the measles, he is unable to take
nourishment except in small quanti
ties.
Noah appears to realize his condi
tion and is seemingly prepared and
anxious for the end to come.
