MOB AFTER
SHOW MAN.
Said to Have Struck a Boy With
Heavy Stick-Boys Were
Having Fun.
By hiding one of the circus men
who was with the Gentry Bros, show,
which exhibited in this city last
night, Policemen John Morris and
Chris Hanson saved the fellow from
being mobbed. Early in the evening
he is said to have struck a young fel
low of this city over the head with a
heavy stick and a crowd of friends
had sound revenge.
When the show was opened last
night there was a crowd of yonng
mon around the tent. They wore hnv
ing all sorts of fun such as they will
have, when one of the show men
armed with a heavy stick appeared,
and Without a word of warning he
struck one of the boys with the stick.
The young fellow was stunned for a
few seconds but his companion soon
got him away from the place and he
wns brought around in short order.
When the crowd found out that thy
fellow was alright they started hack
I toward the tent looking for the man
I who struck him.
At first they had some trouble in dis
covering him, when all at once every
v As nearly as possible all prepara- 1
tions for the caruival are now com "
plote. It promises to he the grandest |
display of its kind Perth Amboy has i
ever seen. For prizes to be awarded j
for boat decorations, $125 lias been (
set aside. For fireworks. |42S has
been spent. The boatmen along shore
and owners in nearby places are most !
e lthusiastic and the decorations prom
ise to eclipse anything ever held in
these wators. The red fire will be a .
great feature and the glow will be
noticeable for miles around. The bay
and sound will appear like fire and
tlio tug boats with their searchlights
piercing the gloam, together with
tlio exploding of booms and bursting
of rockets, will combine to make i
Perth Amboy proud of itself.
Tho program or the fireworks has 1
already boon given in the News. It ,
includes a display equal to any given
at'Manhattan Beach. The jndges will 1
hdvbe afloat this year as formerly.
Tbolextreme end of the yacht olub (
dock is reserved for them where they
liavo ah excellent view of the entire
sound. The judges arc Mayor George

' one thought they saw the fellow at
the same time, and a cry of “that’s
the fellows,” was raised.
The man was nbont to get on a
wagon to drive to the depot, when
| the officers who were at the show,
found what was np. The crowd then
I cleared away from the tent and as
j they went they gathered np stones
, and were joined by new numbers at
' every step. When the wagon, which
i the show employes were in, came out
of the tent, the gang started for it,
only to find that another man was on
the seat.
The man who had caused the trou
ble had been warned of what to ex
pect and he had been hidden from the
crowd. The crowd was disappointed,
although they remained until the
show had all disappeared, it was of
no nse, for ther conld not find the
man.

Edwin Fraser Talks About the
Matter and Explains the Posi
tion of the Assessors.
REGARDING FACTORIES.
Dec ares that the valuali:ns were thorough
ly Investigated and the Assessors know
more About Them than Some of their
Critics - Tax by Law -Factories S.em
Satisfied.
While the taxpayers of Perth Amboy
are discussing the new valuations and
the benefit the city will derive from
the general increase, an interview
with Assessor Edwin Fraser will go
a great way in enlightening the pub
lic on the perplexing question and
will doubtless end to make the public
more satisfied with the amounts they
have to pay.
Mr. Fraser said all- the assessors
realized that they were not infallible
and admitted that some mistakes
mifflit have been made, lint aa n
LAST BOOKS
TAKEN FROM
OLD LIBRARY.
Librarian Issues Statement To
day Asking that Books now
Out be Returned.
NEW BUILDING NEXT.
Work has Progressed Far Enough so that
Preparations can be Made for Moving
—No More Books Will be Loaned After
Tonight—will be a Complete Buildirg in
Every Detail.
The new library has so nearly
reached completion that today the
librarian, Miss N. E. Winser, an
nounced that no more books will be
loaned from the library until all is
installed in the new building. Bor
rowers are kindly asked to return to
the library books now in their posses
sion, at their earliest convenience and
so facilitate the work of the librarian
in the removal from one building to
the other.
It is explained that the short notice
in asking for the return of books is
due to the fact that progress on the
new building has been much greater
than was anticipated. All efforts will
now be centered upon getting moved.
This means lots of work. When all
is (lone, Perth Amboy will have as
complete a library as is to bo found
in this parr of the State. As soon as
possible the new building will throw
open its doors and the use of the
book will be restored to the public.
TO DEDICATE
NEW CHURCH.
Hungarian Catholics Preparing
for Big Day Monday-Work
is Complete.
BISHOP TO BE HERE.
The work of building the new Hun
garian Roman Catholic church of the
Holy Cross on Cortlandt street, has
been completed and on Monday will
be dedicated by Bishop McFaul. The
bishop will arrive in Perth Amboy
about 10.30 o’clock in the morning.
He will be met at the station by a
band. A number of Hungarian Socie
ties will escort him to the new
church.
Upon his arrival there he will be
introduced to the congregation by the
pastor, Rev. Stephen Radosczy. The
bishop will then bless the church af
ter which he will make a short ad
dress. Following the bishop the
Rev. B. T. O’Connell, pastor of St
1 in f li a! i o a Ii nv a Vi a!'
whole, the assessment had been made
fair and according to law. He said
the people of Perth Amboy have been
crying for more money for running
expenses. Every year the Board of
Aldermen were handicapped for lack
of funds to run the city and it was
with the expressed purpose of rem
edying this, that the three assessors
were appointed.
“We have done what we believe to
be a fair thing all the way through”,
he said. “We have thoroughly iuvesti.
gated everything and I beli'eve are bet
ter able to judge the.valuations than
some of our critics who have not
made this investigation.
“The peoplo should understand that
the assessors have nothing whatever
to do with the tax rate. That is fixed
by law. The assessors are only al
lowed to assess one and a half mills
on the valuation of the year previous.
For instance, the total valuation in
Perth Amboy last year was, in round
figures, about $4,000,000. This year
we must use that as a basis for the
rate. The valuation for 1903 however,
is about $8,000,000. Therefore when
the rate is fixed next year it will be
ou the $8,000,000 basis and the amount
raised for city expenses next year will
be something like $120,000 instead of
about $70,000 now. Of course the
county gets its increase at once and
the comparisons now are in the coun
ty’s favor. Tins, however, is some
thing fixed by State law and cannot
be changed. This matter will straight
en itself out next year if the people
give it a chance
“Regarding factories while their
assessment will be increased, they
are not assessed at anywhere near
their valuation. We told several of
them that they were to be increased
and one said it made no difference if
_.1 ~ 1.1 ,.,1 U,,„
ns the others were increased propor
tionately. They realize that if they
were in many of the cities they would
have to pay taxes of equal amount or
oven mere. We have heard none of
them complain. Give the new ar
rangement a chance. The city needs
more money for expenses and taxation
is the only way to get it.”
