STRIKEWiLL
BE LONG ONE.
Painters get Work Elsewhere
and say they do not Care how
Long it Lasts.
CO TO lOTTENVILLE.
It seems now as if the fight between
the Painters Union and the bosses
will last for a long time as both sides
seem just as determined as ever.
Charles Beck, who is the foreman
painter at the shipyard of A. O. Brown
and son, of Tottenville, has put to
work twenty painters from this city
and expects soon to be able to take on
more. It is said that the work at A,
C* Brown's shipyard will last at the
least three months and as tho painters,
Who work in Tottenville, get the scale
of wages paid the painters in New
York, they say they are willing to
work as long as the work lasts.
A Rahway firm now has eight local
painters at work. Many other paint
ers who wish to stay in Perth Amboy,
have been looking about for contract
work. Some have received enough to
keep them employed for sdme time.
Several painters, when Reen by a
News reporter, this morning, said
that they were rushed with orders,
and that when the boss paint?rs did
want to hire men, they would find it
rather difficult, as the men were now
taking contracts so far ahead that it
would take them all snmmer to finish
them.
The bosses are not saying much.
1'any of them have expressed their
views by saying they do not care if
the strike lasts a year.
CHARGED WITH STEALING.
Larry Christie Held Under $200 Bail ?oy
Recorder Pickersgill.
Larrv Christie, of Keasbey, was
held under $200 bonds by Recorder
Pickeisigll this morning on a charge
of grand larceny. Victor Main, super
intendent of one of the National Fire
Proofing Company '8 factories, better
known as the Raritan Hollow & Por
ous Brick Company, made the charge
upon information given in court by
Harry Fingerote, a junk dealer.
Fingerote, in the first place, had
been arrested for stealing a number of
iron beams valued at $35. At the
conclusion of the hearing it was de
cided that Fingerote was an innocent
party in buying the iron so Mr. Main
made the charge against Christie.
Christie denied the charges.

BAND MAY BE
REORGANIZED.
Meeting Called for Wednesday
Night to Talk Over the
Matter.
IDEA IS POPULAR.
C . Howard Smith will Spend Summer Here
and is Anxious to Have the Band Start
ed?Says Members Speak Favorably
Regarding it? Depends on Meeting Wed
nesday.
Members of the band, which used
to give evening concerts in Perth
Am boy, have been asked to meet Wed
nesday night to discuss the idea of
reorganizing. C. Howard Smith is
the promoter of the movement now
on foot. He says he has talked to
several of the former members on the
snbjeot and they speak encouragingly
so that from present appearances the
reorganization will take place.
Mr. Smith has been away from
Ferth Amboy for some time on busi
ness, but his work is now arranged so
that he will at least spend the summer
months here. He is anxious to get
the musicians together and thinks the
band can be made a greater success
than ever.
A band in Perth Ambov has always
been popnlar. Whenever a concert
has been announced crowds of people
have assembled to listen. The Rari
tan Traction Company took advantage
of this popularity when they first put
their line in operation and opened
Raritan Terrace. Hundreds of people
spent their nickles to go where the
music was.
Much depends upon the meeting
Wednesday night whether or not the
band will be reorganized this summer.

MARIONS ARE
STILL ON TOP.
Defeated the Equitables by Score
of 10 to 3-Moorehead
Pleased the Crowd.
ROCHELLE'S GOOD WORK.
Surprised Everybody on Saturday by the
Way the Visitors Were Cleaned up?
Rocheiie in Box with Exoellent Support
did it? Weather was Fine and Crowd
was Large.
That the unexpected haDpens in I
baseball as well as in other fields of |
human endeavor, was amply demon
strated Saturday when the Marions
overwhelmed the Equitables ten runs
to three. It was not that the tans
lacked confidence in the locals ability
to secure a victory even from such a
fast teams as the Equitables unques
tionably are.
What caused the rooters surprise
was the fact that the Marions should
administer such a severe drubbing to
the visitors when all previous contests
usually waited until the ninth inning
to be decided.
Three factors were mainly respon
sible for the loss of the game by the
Eauitables and the victory of the
Marions. The first was the effective
pitching of Rocheiie, 'the second was
the splendid support accorded him,
and the third was the heavy batting
of the locals. Rocheiie showed his
prowess to the delight of the crowd
in the third inning when, with two
men on bases, he made big Bill Tier
ney saw the air. Again in the fourth
inning with a man on seoond base and
no one out he caused Reinacher and
MoKenna to pop up flies and then
fanned Freedberg.
The support he received was gilt
edged, Moorehead especially playing
a brilliant fielding game at seoond
base. Eiernan also made some fine
stops and Leonard made a star catoh
of Lamar's high fly in the third inning.
The Marions lit on Hopper for four
teen safe drives with a total of
twenty-one bases. They started their
run -getting in the first inning when
Moorehead doubled and scored on
Leonard's single. In the third inning
Rocheiie singled and scored on Leon
ard's single. In the third inning
Rocheiie singled and scored on Hop
per's triple, Eiernan was hit and stole
seoond, and Galvin's single scored
Moorehead and Eiernan. In the
fourth two more runs crossed the
plate, Hoffner's hit yielding three
bases, Lyon's single tallying him and
the centre fielder scoring on Eiernan 's
double. In the fifth Connelly singled,
advanced on Hoffner's hit and scored 1
on Lyon's safety. In the sixth the |
Marions got their final three runs,
errors by Lamar and Reinacher giving
Eiernan and Leonard their bases and
Qalvin's two bagger sending both
men home, the local's leader himself
scoring on Lindeman's bad throw to
Freedberg.
The Equitables got their first ran in
the sixth inning, Rouhelle's error
giving Lamar a life, Tierney's single
advancing him and Lindeman's double
scoring him. They got two more in
the ninth, McEenna reaching first
when the bill bounded away from
Galvin, Freedberg hitting safely and
both men scoring when Bernard's low
fly got away from Lyons.
Next Saturday the strong Enicker
bocker A. O. will be here in an en
deavor to put a stop to the Marions'
winning streak. This team has been
playing fast ball and should give the
locals a hard tussle for the victory.

SHOT ANIMAL LATER.
For the last few weeks the residents
of Madison avenue and Paterson
street, who own chickens, have been
troubled bv a large black dog which
would get into the coops and kill the
fowls. Last night the dog managed
to get into the ooop of John Finger
ote, of 3 Paterson street, where he
slaughtered sixty chickens. The dog
then went to the coop owned by Joseph
Stumps, of Madison aveune, where he
killed a large dnck.
The family of Mr. Fingerote and
neighbors of Mr. Stumps were awak
ened by the noise the fowls made but
before they could get near, the animal
had disappeared.
Down Paterson street a little below
Ffngerote's, the dog managed to get
into the chicken coop owned by a
Danish family, bnt before he did any
damage, the owner of the place shot
him.
Many people living near where the
damage occurred are |[of the opinion
that the dog was mad. The people
who lost the chickens are now look
ing for the owner.
