MAY DRIVE MORE
WELLS AT RUNYON.
Work on the Two Recently Authorized by the Aldermen Was Com
menced To-day and if They are Successful and do not Check
the Flow of Those in Operation, Two More May be Driven.

/ Tho work of driving the two arte
/ sian wellB at the Runyon pumping
! srati^n was commoneed today in the
> prosLico of Wator Superintendent
?? Burns and Alderman Rnnyon, Chair
man of the Water Committee. The
work will not take long and as soon
as the wells are completed it is the
purpose of these two gentlemen to
hive the wells tested and if they show
tlmt thoir force is not affected by the
running of the wolls already driven.
Alderman Rnnvon will introduce an
other resolntion at the next meeting
of the Board of Aldermen to have two
more wells driven as soon as possible.
In speaking upon the sub.iect this
morning Mr. Runyon said:
"In advocating the digging of more
wells at Runyon, it is not solelv with
the idea of getting more water alono,
bat that wo may get more of good
water. The four wells already driven
V havo a capacity of noarlv 5(00,000 gal
J Jons a dav aside from the regular
( supply and with double that number
' we should havo a supply nearly snfflc
ient for this city's use daily from the
wells alone. "
Mr. Ruryon said that at this time
of the year the pond at Rnnyon station
bugius to fill np with vegetation and
at times it becomos so bothersome to
tho engineers that water from the
pond is pnmpod with considerable
difficulty. The additional wells
should relieve this situation and re
sult in the city getting clearer and
hotter water.

Wandering in Smith Street
Last Night.
BOARDED A TRAIN.
A little boy, crying and seemingly
in groat distress, was picked up by
Policeman Jensen in Smith street,
near the Post office, last night. He
was crying so hard he could hardly
tell anything abont himself and the
officer took him to headquarters.
There he gave a strange history of
himself.
He said his name was Roy, twelve
years old and the son of Arthur Bur
nell, of Orange. He told a story of
being kidnapped by $ man wearing a
grey suit and a slouch Hat. Mr. Bur
nell, until a few months ago, was an
inspector for the local traction com
pany. The boy says they now live at
54 Oakwood avenue, Orange. The
little fellow told the police last night
that the man had entioed him to carry
a satchel to the depot. They both
boarded the train and got off in this
city.
When Chief Burke notified the
police in Orange they said that an
alarm had already been sent out for
the boy. They notified the boy's
father who promised to come here
after his son this morning.

GENERAL TIE UP
OF ALL TRADES
IS THREATENED.
If the members of the Painters
Union, who are now out on a strike,
do not return to their work tomorrow
morning, tho boss painters claim that
they will put mon from out of town,
who are members of the Amalgamat
ed Association of Painters, at work in
their placos and the Building Trades
Association will back the boss paint
ers in what they do. The striking
painters claim if the bosses do this
they will call out the members
of every other trade in town and thus
tie up the work everywhere. Whether
this threat will be carried out remains
to be seen.
When a prominent member of the
Building Trades Association was seen
bv a News reporter this morning, he
said : .
"We are about tir?d of the ihe
painters are acting and will stand" by
the bosses in what they do no matter
what oomes, and if the journeymen
painters do not return to work tomor
row morning the bosses will bring in
the Amalgamated painters from out of
town. The work has gotten so now
that it must be done."
When the reporter explained that
according to a representative of the
painter's union this would result in
all the building trades in the city go
ing out on strike, he replied: "Let
them go, Ij guess wo can stand it.
Perhaps then we will get some sort of
an agreemont. "
A number of the painters were seen
and they said they were just as firm
as they ever were and if the bosses
would only sign the wage scale agree
ment, they wonld return to work at
onco.
A bosB painter, in talking to the re
porter said : ,
"Our offer to the painters is still
the same as it was on May 1 when
they went on a strike. We a?ree to
pay them $2.75 a day for eight hours
work, but will not under any consid
eration sign their wage scale agree
ment. Although we have set tomor
row for the men to return to work we
do not expect them to do so, but we
are determined to break this strike at
any cost as we are heartily sick of
it."
In explaining what is meant by a
general strike the painters say that
every mechanic, masons and carpen
ters, no matter whore they are work
ing, will be called out. There are
two factions of painters. All the
journeymen hereabout belong to the
Brotherhood. There is another union,
however, known as the Amalgamated
painters. These two are opposed to
each other and will not work together.
The looal men do not want the Amal
gamated to gain a foothold here and
to that end. it is said all the trades
unions here will stand by the brother
hood painters to drive them out of
town.
BOY MISSING
SINCEJMAY 1 3.
Abe Markwitz, of New Bruns
wick Avenue, Said lie was
Tired of Perth Amboy.
WENT TO CASH CHECK.
Abe Markwitz, the fifteen -year-old
son ot Mr. and Mrs. Lonis Markwitz,
of 67 New Brunswick avenue, has
been missing from his homo since
May 18. On that day his father want
ed to get a check for $15 cashed at the
First National Bank and sunt the boy
on the errand. At the bank it was
learned that he had received the
money bnt he did not return home.
When Mrs. Markwitz was seen by a
News recorter this morning she told
the following story :
"When Abe received the check from
his father to got it cashed, he remark
ed to me that he thought ho would
loave homo for New York as he was
tired of this place. I told him not to
talk so foolish but to hurry back with
the money. "
A number of the boy friends claim
that he was very intimate with a
young fellow a little older than him
self, who was connected with the
Gondit-Mack Company which played
in this city several weeks ago, and it
is said that this fellow told voung
Markwitz that he was foolish if he
did not join the companv as he could
easily make 14 a day and, as the young
fellow was going to quit, he would
fix it so Abe could get the job if ho
wished it.
Mrs. Markwitz admitted that sho
had heard the story but did not know
whether it was true or not. She said
she did not see why ho should wish
to leivo home at all, for ho always
had a Kood homo, with a fair amount
of spending money. The mother is
nearly sick over the aifair.

HICKEY WITH
EQUITABLES.
Popular Catcher will Play With
the Visitors Here Saturday ?
A Good Game.
PLAYED WITH MARIONS.
When the Equitables come here
Saturday to plar the second (came of
the series with the Marions they will
have as back stop Morris Hickey, the
former catcher for the Marions who (
was with the locals during 1901 and
until late last season, when illness f
compelled retirement from the game.
Hickev's ability as a player is an ,
old story to tho fans and he has a
host of friends in this city who were
won by his honest endeavors in be
half of the local team. In baseball
phraseology he always "kept a
workin" and no player evor worked
harder or was more sincere in the ,
effort to win games for the Marions.
Hickey was of great assistance to (
Rochelle in 15)01 when the latter was
pitching for the Marions. He was a
clever man behind the bat, a good
hitter and had few equals as a base
runner and ran getter. His appear
ance in this city, even thongh it be
with an opposing team, will be wel
comed by local basoball lovers and
there is no question but that he will
play just as hard against the Marions
us ho ever playod for them. Freed
berg, whose place Hickey takes be
hind the bat, is now playing in the
outfield.

CALLED OUT.
Perrine-Backelew Company Crip
pled Because Non-Union Paint
ers Were Employed.
MEETING ~WAS HELD.
All the mechanics employed on the
jobs of Perrine-Bnckelew Company,
were ordered out on strike commenc
ing this morning- The walking dele
crates of each union called off their
men on account of the employment of
non-union painters on the building
now being erected by that flijm.
When one of the walking delegates
was seen he said that for the last
week the Perrine-Buckelew Company
had non-union painters from James
burg at work, and when they were
notified by the Painter's Union that
the non-union men would have to be
discharged or the other mechanics
would be called out, it is said the
company would not listen to the dele
gates.
A meeting of all the delegates was
held and it was decided to call out all
the men employed by the firm, with
the result that today practically the
only men working are the non-union
painters.
The company's manager, L T. Rue,
would not discuss the matter this
morning any more than to say that
the men were all out and that it was
a case of not letting men work who
wanted to do so.
NEW YORKCTRiKE
HITS LOCAL PUNTS.
Terra Cotta Factory. Forced to Lay
off Hands Because Buildin.s are
not Ready for Material
That the labor trouble of New York
city and vicinity is at last being felt
in the factories of Perth Amboy is
apparent from the fact that the Perth
Amboy Terra Cotta factory laid off a
number of men employed in their
plaster department and, as few orders
for work are being received, it is ex
pected others will be laid off.
A local terra cotta man said this
morning the whole trouble is that the ,
building in New York, T,ong Island
and Brooklyn is all tied up and no
terra cotta can be placed after it is
delivered for the buildings are not
ready for it yet.
