Mr. Haney Stated that a Conference Be tween Interested Parties was Soon to be Held and Wanted the Board of Free holders Represented Other Matters Taken np. New Brunswick, Oct. 8:—Director Fountain, at the meeting of the Board of Freeholders yesterday, reported that the contractors who are building the approach to the newaAmboy bridge on the South Amboy side have dis covered that on account of the condi tion of the land at the river edge a bulkhead must he built. The speci fications for it show that it will be 6 feet high at the edge of the river, 60 feet wide, and will extend back 1,168 feet. The front of the bulkhead will be of hemlock piling. The county mnst pay the cost of this work, as Road Commissioner Budd has stated that it is not a part of the road for which the State is to pay. It was ordered that the bids for the work shall be received at the meeting to be held two weeks from yesterday. Freeholder Haney, of Perth Amboy, called attention to the bridge which it has been suggested will be built from the Staten Island shore to the Jersey shore near Perth Amboy. He said that the President of the Borough of Manhattan, the President of the Borough of Richmond County, Tot.ten villf, the Aldermen of Perth Amboy and the Chamber of Commerce of that place, were to have a conference on the subject and it was desired that Middlesex County are represented at the gathering. He therefore asked that the director appoint a committee Mmeeting. He said that he members appointed lthout The bridge 0, be jjpu for by two -Jersd^jknd New York. made by Mr. Haney nd the committee ap pumteu uy director Fountain was: Messrs.

Bids for repainting the ironwork of the Landing bridge were received at 11 o’clock as follows • Nicholas Thill.$490 Sawyard O. Talmadge. 449 These bids were referred to the Landing Bridge Committee. One other bid was opened, but not read, as the bidder failed to present either a certified check for the required amount, or its equivalent in cash. Mr. Talmadge’s bid was accompanied by |200 in cash. Later the committee recommended that the contract be given to Mr. Tal madge, and the recommendation was adopted. He will begin the work im mediately. Harry V. Oliver is super intendent for Contractor Talmadge. A resolution was offered directing the County Buildings Committee to receive bids on October 14 for 70 tons of ooal to be used in those buildings. Solicitor Willis advised that all bids for expenditures amounting to $200 or more should be received by the Board. I HEAL ESTATE I ADVERTISING. Money to loan on ; BOND AND MORTGAGE.

Is Inspecting the State Reform School Today-Several Sen ators there Also. DRINKING ALLEGED. Trenton, Oot, 8:—Governor Murph is attending a meeting of the man agers of the Jamesburg Reformatory tnrlav. Recent stringent rules have been provided for the government of the working force at the institution and no donbt it is the idea of the Govern or and other State officials to see how the instructions are being observed. Senator E. O. Hutchinson is to meot the executive at Jamesburg. He said yesterday, however, that he was not awaro of the purpose of the meeting to which he had received an invita tion. It is understood that other members of the Senate will also be in attendance. It. was admitted by Senator Hutchinson that) tnere had been some trouole at the institution recently and that it was jnecessary to inform the guards that jrney must not enter saloons while oh duty, under peuatly of instant dismissal. Such infractions are said to have been of frequent occurrence until the Govern or called a halt on'the proceedings. Antnontativo reports have it that a detective in the guise of an assistant coachman, was employed for a time, in observing the general conduct of the under officers at the reformatory, and that he afterwards disclosed some rather deplorable .conditic us to the Governor and others ’.•’^authority. Then it was that the executive inter fered. Most of the drinking in uniform is said to have been done while the guards were hunting the runaway boys, of whom there are said to have been a surprisingly large number, just prior to the appearance and departure of the detective. Whether there have been so many sinee, is probably one of the things the Governor wishes to inquire into today. IRON STILL ON THE DRAW FOUNDATION. Masonwork has Withstood the Wea ther During Several Storms The 450 tons of pig iron are still on the foundation of the new Raritan river bridge. The contractor will not remove the iron for a few days yet. When a man, who has watched the progress of the bridge since the day it was commenced, was asked what he thought of the test he said: “There is no question but what the foundation for the draw is all that it should be for the pig iron has been on for a few weeks through all the storms and bad weather, and the foundation has not settled a bit. The pig iron itself is as heavy as the draw will be and there is little to be feared in re gards to the weight now.” POLICE COURT NEWS. Robert B’air, of Oak street, was in court this morning to swear out a warrant for a man by the name of O’Rourke, whom he charges with stealing his wagon. Perry Bryan, of High street, was arrested last night, charged with assaulting Samuel Shumsky, a State street peanut vender. The trouble started over the change for a pint of peanuts. Bryan was fined $3, which he paid. Lost anything: A cent-a-word ad. in the livening News will find it for you. 1 _ ; Of interest To Many.

'j This is a suit for a small boy that ^ no one,‘no matter how inexperienced Jj they are in the art of sewing, need be % afraid to attempt. There is no pat 1 tern required. * It is simply a piece of oblong mater ial—old blue linen or Galatea makes a pretty suit—folded in two; a round is cut for the nock and a slit cut down the front. A space is left for the arm holes, then the seams are sowed up, sewing from star to star, as in the illustration. The sleeves are tucked at the wrist to give fullness. There is a plain stitched cuff and Eton collar. Eyelet holes are worked down the front, through which tlio white lacet is put. A small rounded pocket is stitched on the left side. This smock is worn over bloomers, and belted with a black patent leather belt. This suit has a great deal of style and is something very new in design. , LENGTH OF THE SESSION. The Extra Session of the Legis lature Topic of Convention , at Trenton. FAVOR ONE OBJECT. Tne extra session of the law makers iB one of the principal topics discussed at Trenton. It was the idea of Presi dent E. 0. Hutchinson of the Senate that no other business, than the new school law, be allowed to come before the body and that the matter be dis posed of in a counle of days. He sain if the members get together next Thursday and hold their caucus then it would be easily possible to adjourn until the following day, or Saturday, or even Monday, and clear up tne whole situation then. Others wore of the opinion, how ever, that the cause of the failure of the last Legislature to appropriate money for the State Home for Con is**. ti„. ctnL. improvement, as provided in bills, passed by both honsos, ought to be righted and thought there would be an insistment that these tilings be taken up. The Governor said he did not know, yet, just what would be done, but like Senator Hutchinson, favored con fining the session to the single pur pose for which the members have been called. Senators Wakelee and Miller were with the Governor, a few min utes, as were also some members of the Lower House. SENIOR CLASS COLORS. The class 1003, of the High School, has chosen its colors.

Governor Franklin Mnrphy has ex pressed himself emphatically in favor of calling togetner a constitutional convention to revise the constitution of tho state in every particular in which it has outgrown the conditions and methods in vogue at the time of its adoption. The governor said the constitution of New Jersey today suited the con d ■ ions of sixty years ago, when it was drawn, but these conditions have so altered that its amendment is badly needed. The judiciary was partic ularly referred to by the governor as a portion of the instrument in which it fails to come up to present require ments. Govornor Murphv expressed himself in favor of the election of stato sen _ - * ators on tne uasis oi popular ion, ami of assemblymen from assembly dis tricts. FOR NEW BRUNSWICK’S MAYOR.
