WELL DRIVER
STRUCK ROCK.
For First Time at Runyon it is
Necessary to Drill Through
Ledge to Reach Water.
V NINTY TeeT DOWN.
Wells are in Goof Condition -No. 10. has
not; yet Been Started—No. 8 is not
Connected with Main Supplying the
City—Hasan Enormous Flow of Pure
Water.
In driving one of the new wells at
Rnnyon. Tuesday, the contractor
struck a bed of rock, about ninety
feet below the surface. This is the
first rock to be found in the vicinity
and it caused some snrprise. This is
the ninth well to be driven there and
another one is yet to go down.
Yesterday the contractor was drill
ing through the rock hoping that it
was not veiv thick. This well is
about 100 feet from the nearest one to
it and in none of the others has rock
been found. It is evident that this
well is well on the edge.
Eight wells have thus far been
driven, but only seven have, as yet,
been connected with tne main that
supplies this oity. The piping gave
out before the eighth well could be
connected. This will soon be accom
plished, however. No. 8 is the best
well driven this year. It has an
enormous flow and is only exceeded
by one other, over there. That is one
driven two years ago. It will not be
long before the city will have an ex
cellent supply.
This morning the drill passed
through the rook and water began to
flow. At noon there was an excellent
supply an hand.
' The work of repairing the roof of
the pnmning station has just been
completed. ^A new slate roof had just
been oompleted a short time before
the severe storm recently and the
wind tore off the slate, for a space of
six feet square.
ALL WILL BE READY.
f The contractors, Greisen & Dahl,
who are erecting the new synagogue
for the First Hebrew Mutual Aid
Sooiety on Madison avenue, have
promised that it will be ready for the
laying of the corner stone on Sunday
afternoon. The Society is making
great preparations for the event. In
vitations have been issued and it will
be a great day for them. Bands, it is
expected, will meet the visiting rabb:s
at the different railroad stations and
they will be escorted to the homes of
J the officers of the society.
< At the laying of the corner stone in
I the afternoon speeches will be made

Boy Tried to Board Train on
Central Railroad near
Rail Avenue.
DOCTOR WAS NEAR.
Taken to Central Station on Engine Where
Raritan Copper Works Ambulance was
Waiting—Hurried to Hospital-Opera
tion to be Performed but Recovery is
Doubtful.
Thomas Huseyot, thirteen years old,
of 80 Charles street, is in the Perth
Amboy City Hospital with his right
leg so badly mangled that it had to
be amputated close to the hip. The
boy was rnn over bv a Central Rail
road engine at the Hall avenue cross
ing this morning. About the time
the aooident happened Dr; Ramsay
was driving through Hall avenue
when a number of people ran from
the direction of the Central Railroad
and told him that a boy had been hit
by a passing train. The doctor was
soon on the Beene and fonnd that the
right leg just below the hip was hang
ing by shreds. To save the boy’s life,
it was necessary to get him to the
hospital at once. The local scoot was
held np and the boy pnt aboard and
brought to the Central Railroad
station, where the Raritan -Copper
Works ambulance was waiting, some
one having telephoned to have it ready
at the station. The boy was uncon
scious. He was pnt in the ambulance
and harried to the hospital where an
operation was performed. Whether
he will pull through or not cannot be
said.
NO MASONS
TO DO WORK.
New Building for Trust Company
is Delayed for Lack of
Men.
Work on the new Perth Ambov
Trust Company’s building, which is
being erected at Smith and Hobart
streets, is tied up today because of the
inability of the contractor to get the
masons to do the work. When the
foundation for the walls was first
started, the foreman for the contract
or, was able to secure only two masons
in this city. They worked up until
last night when they left because they
secured steady places with local con
tractors.
The contractor is now trying to se
cure masons in Paterson or Newark
and hopes to be able to resume work
again tomorrow morning. The help
ers have been laid off until something
can be done about the matter. A
onion man, in conversation with a
News reporter, this morning, said :
‘‘At the present time there is more
work for the masons in Perth Amboy
than they can do, and as they have a
ohance of working with a local con
tractor Bteady for all the winter
months, I am not surprised that the
contractor on the Trust Company’s
building could not get men, as thev
wonld only have work until the build
ing is completed.”
j.he report ^vas circulated about
town that there was a strike at the
place, but this was denied by the man
in charge, aDd also by the mason
helpers.

MET DEATH IN
VESSEL’S HOLD.
Hungarian Laborer was Knocked
Against Iron Side of Steam
ship at Asphalt Works.
OTHERS QUIT WORK.
Fellow Laborers Refuse to Enter Hold
After the Accident—Daylight Renewed
their Courage However and Unloading
is Resumed—Heavy Iron Bucket Be
came Unhooked.
Andiew Shutsky, a Hungarian labor
er at the Barber Asphalt Works, was
killed at 2.30 o’clock this morning
while at work on the big steamer
Theresa, whicli is unloading asphalt
at the plant. He was struck across
the back with one of the iron buckets
which had broken from the hooks.
The laborer was knocked down and
his head struck the iron side of the
steamship, fracturing his skull. He
died within fifteen minutes.
All night Shutsky, witli a number
of other laborers, had been at work in
the hold of the vessel, trying to get
the cargo out in record tinie. The
hold of the boat is divided into two
parts to keep the cargo from shifting,
for, w'hen it is loaded at the South
American port, it is almost a liquid.
In sending the big iron bucket down
to be filled, this morning, the engi
neer let it go too fast and it struck
the partition. In this wav the bucket
was unhooked and fell into the hold
below. The alarm was given by those
on deck and all got out of the way but
Shutsky, who was directly beneath
the bucket.
When the rest of the Hungarians
found that their fellow workman had
been killed, they cried like children,
and refused to enter the steamship
again. Others who wqre brought
down- to work, wlien told what had
happened, also refused to go below.
For some time it looked as if it would
be impossible to get the boat unload
ed, but daylight seemed to give the
men courage, and the work was re
sumed.

SUCCESSFUL
CONVENTION.
Women's Christian Temperance
Union Listen to Interesting
Address and Adjourn.
AFTERNOON MEETING.
Sixty-one Delegates wers Present and
all Spoke with Enthusiasm of tho Work
Done-Women of Local Branch Re
ceive Much Praise for Manner in which
they Entertained.
Large attendance was the feature of
the county convention of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, which
was held in Simpson M. E. church
yesterday. The afternoon meeting
was unnsunlly interesting and at night
many people turned out to hear the
address by Rev. E. A. Boom, of
Warren County. There were abont
sixty-one delegates in all.
In the afternoon the program con
sisted of reading, music and the re
ports of the county superintendent.
These roports were extremely interest
ing. There were remarks by the State
president and reports of the various
committees. Two Perth Amboy ladies
were appointed. They were Mrs. F.
Herrington, Superintendent of Parlor
Meetings,'and Mrs. W. Woglom, super
intendent of Foreign Works.
Last night E. A. Boom gave an
address on the progress of temperance
work in the country. His remarks
were well appreciated. While not in
clined to attack any special persons
particular the whole trend of his talk
was to impress the public on the
necessity of killing the liquor trade.
He talked for some time on a Bible
text, “Woe unto them that are might
to drink wine and unto men of strength
-that mingle strong drink.”
He spoke not only against the one
who drinks, but tko seller and those
who promote the consumption of in
toxicants. He advised the people to
get at the root of the evil the pro
ducer, and also cited examples of the
effects of alcohol in this and foreign

NEW BUILDING
FOR THE ELKS.
Order are Endeavoring to Secure
Site for Erection of a Mod
ern Home.
THREE STORIES HICH.
Building will be Complete in Every Partic
ular and will Contain Store, Bowling
Alleys, Plunge, Billiard Parlor and
«
Lodge Room -No Other Urganization will
Meet there.
It is now an established fact that
the Elks are to have a ne'.v home in
this city. The order has decided to
put up a modern club house with all
necessary appliances. The building
proposed will be three stories in
height. The front of the first floor
will be rented for a store. In the rear
will be a gymnasium, bowling alleys
and a bath and plunge. On the sec
ond floor will be a reception room and
parlor. The third floor will be used
for a lodge room. It is not probable
that any other organization will have
an opportunity to rent rooms for lodge
purposes in the building as there is a
general desire on the part of the ElkB
to have their own building exclusive
ly for their own use.
At first some members wanted a
club house on one of the side streets,
but this plan was rejected as a build
ing on one of the side streets would
not be well adapted to store purposes
and could therefore be used only as a
club house and be of no use as a
source of revenue, the idea of renting
the ground floor to a dealer being one
of the original intentions.
The order has considered several
sites. One is the property belong
ing to Pratt-Brown Company, at 86
Smith street, now occupied by Peder
Oleson and a barber shop. This has a
frontage of foity-five feet and would
be suitable for a long narrow build
ing, which is the kind most approved.
It is not thought this site will be
chosen, however.
Another proposition was to purchase
a lot in Smith near Madison avenue.
An effort made to see Lawyer Joseph
E. Strieker, chairman of the commit
tee, appointed to taKe charge of the
securing a building, was not success
ful this morning as he is attending
court in New Brunswick. The pre
vailence of strikes is said to have
caused a delay in pushing the matter,
but it '8 now promised that as soon as
the site is obtained, plans for the
building will be drawn and it will be
erected at once.

PAVEMENT
WILL WAIT.
Washington Street Improvement
Will not be Started this
Fall.
COLD WEATHER NEAR.
Work would have to be Advertised for
T hirty Days and by the Time Material
is on the Ground it Would be too Late
to Complete Work—Will Make Pre
parations.
It is understood that no attempt
will be made to get Washington street
paved this fall. The aldermen have
considered the matter and have
thought it best to delay the work nntil
spring. In the meantime the contract
will be given out and everything
made ready to start the work as soon
as the spring thaws are over.
It is pointed out that before the
work can be started it mast be advert
Used for thirty days and this will
take until the first of November and
then it would take two or three weeks
to get the material on the ground by
which time the ground would be
frozen and work would have to stop.
Then the street would be in a worse
state than ever.
There has been quite a tine over
the paving of this thoroughfare. It
has been a long fight and after the
names on the remonstrance against
the improvement was weeded out, it
was found a majority waited the
work done. The fact that it will not
be Btarted until next spring will be
disappointing to a great many m the
condition of the street in win?5r'*n
well known. The mud, sometimes is^
hub deep and wagons pass with diffi
culty. When the street is paved the
improvement will extend from the M
sonnd to New Brunswick avenue,a
ing the only Utrstsl Jjayec^tsjB^-^
length in the city. jr
SMALL BOY ARREST^.
