THE NEW FERRY BUILDING IN Use The spacious
new ferry buildings and slips recently erected by the
jersey City Ferry Company were put into use on
Wednesday. The boats commenced running to them
about o'clock. The new arrangements combine sew
era convenences which Lave not heretofore been en-
joyed, prominent among which may be mentioned the
erection of gates to prevent passengers from crowdns
down upon the bridge. The bridge ia enclosed by
high raiLDg which prevents people inside the ferry
house from going upon the boat until the passengers
and teams oil U, when the gates are thrown open
and those going over are allowed to pass through

also the many accidents resulting from jumping upon
the boat before it is secured to the bridge

himself in the hall near the door armed With re-
vOlver, ard determined to make an example OF the
