HER TENTH BIRTHDAY
Miss Mand Whitworth, of 81 Madi
son avenue, gave a party to her little
friends Friday afternoon in honor of
ner tenth birthday. There were about
thirty present and they spent the
time singing and playing games.
After refreshments were served they
had a good romp and went home much
pleased and happy.
SNEAK THIEF HAS
BEEN BROUCHT HERE.
Fellow Accused of Petty Larceny
in this City Boy Indentified
Him.
A man giving the name Christian
P. Sorenson, of Brooklyn, was arraign
ed before Recorder Pickersgill this
morning on a charge of petty larceny,
being accused of stealing a watch.
This is only one of many robberies it
is believed he has committed here.
When Sorenson was asked what he
had to say, he replied that he wanted
to get a lawyer. The recorder told
him that if he did not have bail he
would send him to New Brunswick to
await the action of the grand jury.
The man secured the services of Joseph
Strieker, however, and he is still con
fined here.
Sorenson is the fellow who was
captured in Plainfield a few days ago
in a private house by two colored
servants. While one of the servants
held the fellow the other went out to
look for a policeman and Mayor
Smalley, who was passing by, took
charge of the man, who refused to
answer all questions about himself,
and his description was then publish
ed in all of the newspapers.
Chief of Police Burke, who was
reading an account of the fellow,
thought that the description answer
ed closely the man he was looking
for, charged with entering the home
of Mrs. Booth, of High street, but
who in reality is charged with all of
the sneak thief robberies that have
occurred in this city. The chief
wired for a description of Sorenson,

Mrs. Booth and her son went to
Plainfield where they identified the
fellow who had entered the house and
stolen a watch.
Sorenson was bronght to this city
by Detective John Huff. He looks to
be a very intellectual fellow. The
chief will charge him with all the
petty robberies here.
Arthur Booth, the son of Mrs.
Booth, picked Sorenson out of a crowd
of eleven men, as the fellow who had
entered their house. Chief Burke
says he has difficulty in getting people
to come forward to make coiAplaints
against the man.

RUNAWAY IN

People’s Lives in Danger While
Animal Dashes Toward
the Ferry.
At 4.30 o’clock Saturday afternoon
many people, on Smith street, had a
narrow escape from being injured by
a runaway horse which dashed wildly
toward the sound and was stopped at
the Staten Island ferry.
The herse ami wagon, which be
longed to a butcher, was left at Smith
and Hobart streets, while the driver
went into a nearby house. A passing
trolley car frightened the animal and
he started off. The wagon was badly
damaged, but luckily no one was hurt.

DAMAGE BY
THE FLOODS.
/ -
Perth Amboy Suffers from High
Tides—Trains on Drawbridge
to Keep Firm.
AT OTHER PLAGES.
South Amboy Men go to Border.town to As
sist—Lehigh Valley Bridge at Easton—
People go From this City to See the
Sights — Bridges Down at Keasbiy—
Repairs Here.
Now that the storm has passed Forth
Amboy, like all the other cities, is
recovering from the flood. While
almost every other city in the State
reports severe damages, Perth Amboy
got off very lucky, hut the damage
was enough.
All day Saturday and yesterday the
Central Railroad keDt an engine and
one ear running back and forth be
tween this place and South Amboy
over uie uruwuiiuge, isu us to lieep me
bridge as firm as possible. While
most of the sand was washed away
and the old hulks badly battered, the
bridge itself is all right and although
it trembles considerably when a train
passes over it, this can soon be fixed.
Yesterday when the tide was at its
highest, the span of the drawbridge,
when it was opened, just touched the
water and it was then impossible for
sailing crafts to get through.
At the new Raritan river draw
bridge, and the docks of the Cheese
borough Vaseline and Raritan Copper
Works, considerable damage* was done
by the high tide. The people who
wanted to go to lxeasbey by wagon,
found it impossible. L. B. Moore,
the local newsdealer, could not deliver
his Sunday papers because the bridges
were all down in that vicinity.
The contractor who is doing the
work on tho Trust Company building,
had a gang of laborers at work this
morning cleaning up the damage
caused bv the falling down of the east
wall of the new foundation. The cost
will not amount to more than $75 and
it is said there is plenty of time for
the Passaic Steel Works, from which
place the steel comes for the build- ■
ings, are flooded at that place and it
will be a few weeks before they can
be started again.
A number of local people went to
Easton and Paterson yesterday and,
although the water had receded con
sideiably, in some places, it was fully
six feet deep. Bridges have been
carried away along the Delawure and
other railroads are using the Lehigh
Valley’s structure.
On Staten Island the people have
water everywhere but hardly any to
:lriuk, for most all of the cisterns
were flooded by the higli tides. The
lower part of Tottenville got some of
it too, but the most part escaped.
South Amboy was in luck; as very
little damago was done there. Base
ments that had been bnilt over springs,
bad lots of water in them and a few
that had no springs in them also re
ceived their share of water, hut that
with the rain coming through the
roofs and walls of most houses, appears
to be ail tho trouble caused in that
place, as near as has been learned so
far.
All of the men of Brown’s gang,
working for tho P. R. R. company in
South Amboy, were ordered to Bor
lentown on Friday, to help repair tho
bridge, damaged by tho recent storm,
tnd have not returned yet. The tracks
Advertising is the life of trade.

there are four feet unper water oaosed
by the Delaware rising*
Passengers on the M. V1 S. trolley
cars were taken over the crossway at
South River in small boats and stages,
the water in some places being above
the hubs of the stages.
The handkerchief factory at South
River is surrounded by water and
work is suspended at present.
Men were kept out on the draw
bridge until after one o’clook Satur
day night, attending to the draw, and
an engine was kept running back and
forth on the tracks by the cove be
tween South Ambov and Morgan all
day Saturday to keep the tracks from
coming up.
COLONIAL CLUB
ENTERTAINED MANY.
The Colonial Club members, of
Colonia, gave a clam bake to a num
ber of their friends from surrounding
places Saturday afternoon. Much of
the success of the bake was due to K
G. Cone, formerly of this city, who
is well known and popular.
The Colonial Club is just outside of
Railway, where they have a fine- club
house and up to date golf links. Mr.
Cone has just returned home from a
