INSPECTED FERR \
YESTERDA Y; STILL
FA VOR FA YETTE ST.
Staten Island Railroad Officials Visited Perth Amboy and Although
an Offer has been Made for them to Stay at Foot of Smith
Street, They are still Determined to move Unless too Many
Protests are Received? Dislike the Smith Street Grade.
Tho News oil Wednesday published
exclusively the announcement of the
Stateu Island Railroad Company's in
tention of making many improvements
including that of changing the present
ferry slip at the foot of Smith street
to tho foot of Fayette street. Today
the News is authorized to repeat that
assertion without fear of contradic
tion. It has also been stated positive
ly bv tho same authority that the
Staten Island Railroad has not accent
ed nor purchased any land at or near
the foot of Smith street, owned by
George Evans, as some are inclined
1 to boliove.
C. S. Simms, general manager, and
James/Campbell, assistant manager
for tho Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
which controls the Staten Island
system, and Mr. Randolph, tho now
general manager and vice president of
thn Staten Island Railroad, were in
this city yesterday for the purpose of
looking over the ground. They view
ed with considerable interest the
ground surrounding the proposed
chango at the foot of Fayette whore
they already have options on certain
laud. They also looked over the sur
roundings of the present slip, and
when th<ie gentlemen left they wore
very much in favor of the tayette
street site oil account of its low grade.
The only objection tho officers of the
road nave to the present slip is the
Smith street hill.
As to the reported sale of tho land
at the foot of Smith street, Mr. Evans
this morning said :
"I have not and do not want to sell
any of my land around here and I
can't understand how any one can say
that I have when I don't know it my
self."
Further than this Mr. EvanB refused
to talk. It was learned elsewhere,
I however, that a man, presumably Mr.
Evans and two other prominent busi
ness men, who came to this city over
the Central railroad, went to New
York on Thursday where Mr. Evans
was induced to offer to sell his pro
perty t? the Staten Island road as an
r** inducement to keep the ferry at the
foot of Smith street. This much was
admitted by an official of the road,
but as already stated, that official de
nied the reported acceptance and pur
chase of the property on the part of
his company.
Here, this official said, the matter
will rest for ajivhile to see what tho
peoplo of Perth Amboy want. If
there are too many protests from the
7 jsinoss men on Smith stroet the pro
babilities are that no change will be
mado at Smith street. On tho other
t hand if there are no protests, or the
' protests are overbalanced bv rpquests,
the change will be made to the toot
of Fayette street.
Protests were made several years
ago by the Smith street merchants and
the proposed change was then aband
oned. Since that time the conditions
have changed. Then there were only
a handful of merchants doing business
1 no further up Smith than State street.
Today there is a trolley company to
taken into consideration. By run
ning the loop, as outlined in the
News, this would brina the travelling
publio up Smith street just the same.
Thon there are the State street mer
chants whose opinions will have to be
taken into consideration in making
jr ' 2 proposed ohange.
ML No objections have yet been hoard
Bin Perth Amboy, but in Tottenville
^ there are some opposed to the change,
but tho publio generally in that town
to date do not believe the ohange will
ever occur In their day as it is said
tho railroad company have been talk
|g? ing about the change for some time.

TUCKERTON BAY IS
FREE OFDRUM FISH.
Oysters Planters in Those Waters
Are Happy this Season
Much Damage Last Year
Tuckerton oyster planters are re
lieved to find that the drum fish have
not this year entered their bay and
disturbed their oysters.
Last .year Tuckerton planters bought
heavily of Long Island Sound seed
from Long Island and Connecticut.
They had just about got through with
their planting, when along came great
hordes of drumfish, and in two week's
time, 150,000 worth of seed oysters
were destroyed. The drum were final
ly driven out by dynamite, the fish
being driven by nets and boats to the
channels where mines had been laid
and great numbers of them were kill
ed by the explosions.
This year they have not returned,
and the planters hope that the dyna
mite treatmont has driven them away
for good.
Some planters fear their selt con
gratulations over the non return of
I the drum, may be too early, as the
I cold weather may have kept the drum
!back. No channel bass have been
caught at any of the usual fishing
places for that gamy monster as yet
this summer, and they will average
about Juno 10th for their coming.
Drumfish aro looked for a week or so
later than channel bass.

FIXING THE
FOUNTAIN.
Plumbers at Work Today Getting
the Drinking Fountain at
Post Office Corner in Order.
WATER WILLSOON FLOW
By To-night, it is Stated, tf?e Water Da
partment can Turn en the Water, an*
Horses can be Satisfied? Drivers Pleas
ed ? Drinking Place was Badly
Needed.
Plumbers are at work today fixing
the drinking fountain at the post office
corner and it is expected that by to
night the water department will be
able to tarn on the water, mnch to
the pleasure for the drivers.
Some time ago the water department
wag compelled to close the fountain
on account of the pipe being in bad
condition. Just what the trouble was
at that time they could not say, and
as no one seemed inolined to give
orders to have it fixed the fountain
has remained idle. The plumbers to
day put in a whole set of new pipes.
For some time past the Evening
News has been calling attention to
the fact that the fountain was a public
necessity and pointed ont that the
city shonld do something towards
getting it in running order. As it
seems the hot^Bummer days are now
here, the action is timely.
