_THE LARGEST PROVEN LOCAL CIRCULATION_ I
VOL. XXV. NO. 105. PERTH AMBOY, N. J., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1903. NIGHT EDITION \
SAYS COMPANY
IS SHUT OUT.
. I
Statement Made at the Hearing
on the Woodbridge Trolley
Matter Last Night.
APPLICATION HERE.
Mr. Quin said His Company Had indirectly
Applied for Admission to Perth Amboy
and had Given a Certified Check for
$5,000 that a Legal Application Would
be Made,But It was Useless.
At the meeting of the township
oommntee in Woodbridge, last night,
the ordinance granting a franchise to
the Elizabeth, Amboy & Long Branch
Railroad was re-read with an amend
ment embracing part of Hie condition
asked for by John Qnin at the last
meeting. The company conld rnn
oars every half hour not to the rail
road, bat to tho corner of Amboy ave
nue and Main street in Woodbridge,
and have the privilege of building to
Spa Springs in two yoarB, By this it
was believod that tho company once
aoross the railroad would not abandon
the Woodbridge branch.
Objections were made to this by
Mr. Quin. Fiually when Mr. Quin
did Dot appear to disliao going aR far
ns Amboy aveune, he was asked his
in uuuuuif, uuu nine
track more to Spa Springs. As be
fore, ho said, his company did not
want to be so Disced at the meroy of
the people of Perth Amboy.
Judge Brown declared that engi
neers from a company in Elizabeth
have been over a route from Wood
bridge to Amboy. Part of it takes in
| tiie road the Elizabethport, Amboy &
Long Branch want to control. The
judge said this company, if nnable to
secure the right of way for two years,
would ent ont Woodbridge altogether.
Chairman Herman asked if Mr.
Qnin's company has ever made appli
cation to get into Amboy. Mr. Qnin
said yes, bur not legally. He said he
had indirectly made application ac
companied by a certified check for
$■>,000 as a eua-a tee they wool! make
one, but this was of no use. There
was plenty of talk, but it all ended in
adjourning until January 14.
Tomorrow, Saturday we will Sell,
$12.00 and $16.00 coats at $7.98 and
$9.98. We have jnet received enough
for a busy day’s selling, coats as nice
ns any woman wants to put on. The
ilouble-ureasted effect is charmingly
brought ont by the nse of large and
small metal buttons, and “tab’’ but
w ton Haps that give them tne “point
ed” idea. The Bleeves are pouchoa
and finished with turn cuffs. Every
coat man-tailored, and all silk lined.
($26.00 worth of stamps with each
r- coat.

SINGIN SKEWL
MAKES_A HIT.
Over Fifty Children Took Part in
the Program in Simpson
Lecture Room.
What is pronounced by critics to be
the best entertainment ever held in
the lecture room of Simpson M. E.
cl'.urch, was given last night when
Jedediah Basset conducted the “Sing
in’ Skewl” by Aunt Folly Basket. It
was the beet, because it really entei
tains. It is interesting throughout
and not for a moment did the audi
ence take their eyes from the professor
and his pupils. Jedediah, himself,
was worth the price of admission and
everybody said so.
The “dingin’ skewl” differs from
the village ohoir, which was here
some time ago, in that the “skewl”
is composed entirely of children.
Jedediah had over fifty under his
direction last night and they did well.
Their names ran something like this:
Hezekiah Spooks, Abadiah Grinders,
Abed Hagadon, Simon Fox,Demetrius
Dewsnapp, Belinda Bumpns, Faith
Oadwalledar, Zenobia Clintou,Agatha
Sohoonmaker. The program ran some
thing like this: “Anld lang Syne,”
by skewl; “When a Maiden” by little
Dorcas Tubbs; “Hen Convention” by
Bijah Noggles. There was a Quaker
Courtship, JoBiali and his Sally, Three
Blind Mice, Ynnkco courtin’.
The skewl was a big suooess. It
will be repeated tonight.

RETURN FROM
BERMUDA TRIP
John H. Gregory Went to the Is
land to Bid on British
Gunboat.
WERE TEN BIDDERS.
Much Interest in the Sale of the Beat— j
One of the Bidders was from England
Others from Mew York, Philadelphia,
and Boston—Craft is Still Services
ble.
John H. Gregory returned yesterday
from a trip to Bermnda. He came in
on the Patronia. Mr. Gregory sayB
he went to Bermnda to purchase the
British gunboat “Hotspur” which
was for sale. He does not know
whether he has purchased her yet or
not. There were ten bidders from
Bermnda, Philadelphia, Boston, New
York and England. The three largest
dealers in this trade in tiie country
were there. They are J. H. Gregory,
Hittner, of Philadelphia, and Thomas
Butler, of Boston.
The boat, Mr. Gregory said, is in
good condition yot and would be a
valuable purchase to any of the com
panies. The fact that one bidder
wonld deem it worth while to go from
England to bin, gives an idea of the
keen interest held in the awarding of
the sale which will be made sometime
dnrjng this month.
The craft is 203 feet long and 50
feet beam and draws twenty-two feet
of water, aud is of 4,000 touB burden.
She had her crew still on board when
Mr. Gregory inspected her. They
number 150 men aud officers. She
carries a number of small rifles and
rapid fire guns and two twelve-inch
riflesj in the turret forward. An
eleven inch armorplate protects her.
She is of iron. Her boilers, furnish
ings and machinery are in good con
dition.
The Hotspur is one of the coast de
fense vessels and is of a type common
to the British navy, bat which is now
becoming obsolete. Her armor plate
is not strong enough and she does not
make sufficient speed. Mr. Gregory
says if he secures the vesshl sue will
come np under her own steam to his
yaid hero. He says the British gov
ernment may not sell at all if they
are not satisfied with the price, as the
boat is yet serviceable. He says
prices are not so high now as two
years ngo. All the boats armament
will be taken off except the two big
guns.
