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, imrl nrliAn ha raaaitrarl it hn ocl/arl Hint A Choice Line of MEATS -AT THE > People’s Meat Market 322 STATE STREET TELEPHONE 14-w BRANCH STORES: 518 State Street, - Telebhone 31 m 247 New Brunswick Avenue, Tel. 109-i Josi Polkowitz&Bro, the fellow be held. 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. MAIL SCHEDULE CHANGES.

RUNAWAY IN SMITH STREET. 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. ■ ■■ ■ Al A II rr ATII « A I rVIUolUAL ttollVAL TO BE HELD TONICHT. De Witt Garretson will Perform in Simpson Nl.

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. 1^—- SALE OF —^ \ SAMPLE SKIRTS i Greatest values of the season. Not a single Skirt worth 3 less than 5.00, some worth 8.00.

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.
