EXTENTION OF
THE TROLLEY.
Merger In North Jersey Be
lieved To Reach Through
The State.
HAS IT MAPPED OUT.
Believed That Middlesex & Somerset Trac
tion Conpany is Included, But Officials
?f That Road Deny The Rumor-^Entire
Route Said To Be Planned? Great Pos
sibilities.
There may be more in the new
North Jersey traction merger than
appeals on the surface, according to
reports, and one of the possibilities is
a through 'line from New fcYork to
Philadelphia in which the Middlesex
and Someisetand Trenton-New Bruns
wick Traction lines are mentioned as
part of the main line. For some time
pant maps and prospectuses have been
quietly circulated in this State and
presumably in other States, under the
title of the New York & Philadelphia
Eleotrio Railway.
Officials of the local company said
today that they had nothing to do
with the New York & Philadelphia
Electric Company except that this
line and the Trenton-Brunswick line
Were connecting lines on the route
from New York to Philadelphia.
They were not identified in any way
with them.
The route oovered is that now occu
pied by the North Jersey Street Rail
way Company, from New York to
^Elizabeth, from Paterson and Cald
iwell to Newark, and from the Oranges
f to Newark, after which the line cross
es Union and Middlesex counties direct
l to Metuchen, there to connect with
?he Middlesex & Somerset Traction
?pmpany's line to New Brunswick
Hd Milltown, and over the Trenton
w Brunswick Railroad from Mill
Hrn to Hamilton Square.
Hit this point a direct cut across
Hintry to near Bordentown is made
Kd the route of the Camden & Tren
L Railway shown to Camden,

from Milltown to South Ambov are
shown.
The Elizabeth, Plainfield <!fc Central
Jersey Traction Company's line from
Elizabeth to Plainfield and Dunellen
and the Middlesex & Somerset's line
from Dunellen to Bound Brook also
form a part of this mysterious "New
York & Philadelphia Electric Rail
way's line.
The new line, including those now
existing, has been drawn over a State
map of New Jersey in heavy ink, and
then photographed, and the objeot is
evidently to create the impression
that all of the lines are built and in
operation. f
There was also incorporated recently
the Elizabeth, Perth Amboy & Long
Branch Bailroad, and, as some of the
North Jersey Traction people were
supposed to be interested in that pros
peot it was believed that a road would
be constructed toward this city rather
than toward Perth Amboy. The title
does not prevent them from building
elsewhere.
The Camden & Trenton Railway
differs in gauge from the Trenton &
New Brunswick and the North Jersey
roads, and it- will be necessary to
change the gauge if oars are to be ran
all the wav through. At present it is
a five foot gauge, while the Trentpn
& New Brnnswiok is four feet eight
and one-half inches.
There are some great possibilities
in the proposed line. If it is operated
in conjunction with the Philadelphia
rapid transit it may be possible to run
through the proposed tunnel under
the Delaware at Camden and deliver
New York passengers in the oentre of
Philadelphia.

TO DISCUSS RETIREMENT FUND
Meeting of Teachers in Newark To-day
Entire State Represented.
The examination of the State teach
ers' retirement fund that is to be
made soon by a committee of the State
Board of Education, with a view to
ward determining the future prospects
of the fund, will be discussed at a
rallv of the New Jersey State Teach
er's Association being held in the
Normal and Training School at New
ark today. Charges that there has
been for some time a difference of
opinion over the management of the
fund between the teachers ana the
State Board of Education members in
the board of trustees will be inquired
into, and the reported aotion of the
State board in determining to examine
into the outlook for the retirement
fund will be talked over by the dele
gates.
When a oall for the rally was issued
some time ago the projeot was to dis
cuss the retirement fund situation
and consider plans for future action.
Nearly every part of the State is re
presented by a delegate. At the meet
ing it is expected that attention will
be called to the law recently enacted
whioh provides that anv teacher who
haB taught forty consecutive years in
the same district shall be retired on
half salary, this is to be paid by the
municipality in whioh the teacher
lives.

IS MOSQUITO A BIRD?
Elizabeth Councilman Wants The Matter
Determined.
Councilman Bernard Higgins, of
Elizabeth, introduced a preamble and
resolution at a meeting of the council
there which set forth that whereas
$1,000 had been appropriated to exter
minate mosquitoes, and as such meas
ure might be in conflict with the Btate
game laws, and involve the city in
litigation with the State Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the
Law Committee be directed to report
at the next meeting whether a mos
quito is a bird or an animal.
There were various suggestions as
to the reference of the resolution. It
was suggested that it be referred to
the dog warden, special railroad and
a committee.
JOHN DOE INDICTED.
Murderer of John Hunt Can Be Brought To
Trial As Soon As Arrested.
New Brunswick, April 18.? It is
understood that John Doe has been
indicted by the Grand Jury for the
murder of John Hunt, of Newark.
Hunt was one of a gang of three
tramps who quarrelled in a saloon in
Highland Park. Hunt was shot by
one of his two companions, and died
from his wounds. In the dead man's
pockets were found a number of
watches that were identified by a
Hightstown jeweller as having been
stolen from his plaoe. Hunt's ante
mortem statement supplied evidence
upon which the case was laid before
the grand jury. The indictment, it is
understood, has been found against
John Doe, so that if the murderer is
ever apprehended he can be brought
to immediate trial.

Reliance'* KIkkIiik Complete.
BRISTOL, R. I., April 18? The set
ting up of the standing rigging has
been practically completed. The top
mast has been placed on end, and the
topmast stays are set up. The height
of the mast from the deck to the top
mast truck is said to be 159 feet, which
is five feet higher than that of the
Constitution. The double bobstays
give indication of great power and
strength. On the whole the rigging of
Reliance does not look any heavier
than that of the Constitution, which
is anchored a few hundred yards
away, but it is of greater tensile
strength.

Mystery Cleaved ITp.
WASHINGTON, April 18.? A myste
rious absence of nearly a year and a
half has been solved by the police
when a body found floating in the Po
tomac river near Marshall Hall, a sum
mer resort about sixteen miles from
Washington^ was identified as that of
Captain T. W. Lord, retired, who dis
appeared on Dec. 20. 1901. Consider
ing the long time the body had been in
the water, it was in a remarkable
state of preservation. Captain Lord
wore an artificial leg, and this was
found anchored between two of the
piles forming the sea wall a short dis
tance from where the body was found.
Metropolitan Hud a Siirjilnn.
NEW YORK, April 18.? Max Tiech
man, the expert upon whose report, in
part at least, the sensational attack
made upon the financial management
of the Metropolitan Street Railway
company was based, has before Magis
trate Barlow admitted that his findings
were merely tentative and based only
upon the data submitted to him. If he
had credited up the assets of the Met
ropolitan's lesser companies, as stated
byDe Lancey Nicoll, Mr. Ttechman ad
mitted he would have found a surplus <
instead of the enormous deficit he had
re]>orted.
