MUST BUILD
BULKHEAD ON
r SOUTH SIDE.
Freeholders Find the Ground on
South Amboy Approach is
Too Soft.
STATEN ISLAND BRIDCE.
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

made by Mr. Haney
nd the committee ap
pumteu uy director Fountain was:
Messrs. Haney, Glenn, Johansen,
Dunnigan, Welsh, DeHart and the
director will act witn it.
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.

GOVERNOR AT
JAMESBURG.
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.

t; HOW TO MAKE THIS PRETTY
SUIT FOR A SMALL BOY.
'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. They are green
and white. Much discussion on this
subject took place at every class meet
ing. The matter is now definitely
settled and the pins will be^r the
green and white enamel.

“Foley’s Honey and Tar is the best pre

WOULD CALL
CONVENTION.
Governor Murphy Favors a Re
vision of the Whole State
Constitution.
PRESENT ONE TOO OLD.
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

Now Brunswick, Oct. 8:—Charles
Duskier, son of former Postmaster

ler comes from the Sixth Ward, the
same ward in which his opponent,
William S. Meyers, resides, and the
contest is expected to be a lively one.
Another White House Crunk.
WASHINGTON. Oct. N. Another
crank, armed with two dangerous look
ing knives, appeared at the White
House and attempted to reach the
president. The mauls name is John
Decker. He is forty-four years old, a
gunsmith and came to Washington
from Norwich, Conn. After he was
removed from the White House by the

where four other White House cranks
are confined.

OYSTER GROWERS PUZZLED.
Wondering Where their Plants are Go ng to
Come From.
Tuokerton, Oct. 8:—The situation
which confronted the oyster planters
\t the opening of the seed oyster
season, last week, has len many of
hem to wonder where they are going
to obtain their plants in future years.
At the “Graveling Beds,’’ which
are considered among the State’s best
bods, the oatch was not worth going
after, and many boats left without
any attempt to gather the plants.
