WEST BERGEN'S DANGER.
The Newark and New York Rail-
road Bridge Renders West Side
Avenue impossible for
Fire Engines.

When the Newark and New York Rail-
road was built, about twenty years ago.
the company took it upon themselves to
regulate the grade of West Side Avenue
to suit its tracks, and built bridge over
the avenue, leaving a headway of about
ten feet Even this lowered the grade Of
the street three or four feet. Owing
to the steep grade on each side OF the
bridge and the sandy nature Of the soil.
the avenue has gradually filled up until
no W there is considerable less than that
headwas. and wagons with tops are pre-
vented from going under the bridge.
DANGEROUS IN CASE OF FIRE.
Battalion Chief Hogan of the fire de-
partment visited West Bergen this morn
ing and said that the railroad people
shonld be compelled to raise their bridge
or in some manner provide remedy.
A fire engine could not pass under
the bridge. It is a common occurrence
to have the tops of wagons wrecked by
coming in contact with the bridge, and
numerous wagons are prevented from
going under at all, thus virtually closing
the street to pnblic traffic OF this
kind. A large express wagon which
passed there this morning was bad ly
damaged, the whole top being ruined.
The driver called the railroad company
all sorts of hard names and threatened to
sue for damages.i
The residents in that section are won
dering how much longer they will be
called upon to suffer Inconvenience for
the benefit of this corporation. They
think that the railroad company
should raise the bridge or lower
the street, and pave the street
so there would be no danger of its filing
up again. The railroad officials say that
the bridge cannot be raised unless the
tracks We're also raised and this would en-
tail considerable expense. Further than
this they refuse to say anything.
CITIZENS WILL TAKE THE MATTER IN HAND.
The Citizens Improvement Association
will take the matter in hand at the meet
ing next Monday evening. A committee
will be appointed to see the
railroad people and ascertain
what they intend to do in the matter.
The bridge at Bergen avenue, near Eye
avenue, is nearly two feet above
the grade of the street, causing a
unsightly hump in the roadway. the at
tention of the Board of Street ard Water
Commissioners has been called to the
condition of this bridge.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Angelo Coiro's Exploded Sensation Sends
Him to Prison.

Him to Prison.
Angelo Coiro, barber who lives on
Colgate street. caused the arrest Of Ar
senio Costa last January aud charged
him with having murdered Coiro's cousin.
AT the time of the arrest The JERSEY
CITY NEWS told how Coiro claimed that
the dead body of his cousin, who had
been missing for more than year, was
buried in the cellar of his barber shop,
and how the police searched the cellar
without finding any dead body.
Chief Murphy was soon convinced that
Costa was guiltless of the alleged crime
and he released the prisoner. Costa at
once began proceedings against Coiro for
false Imprisonment and secured the in
dictment OF the barber.
The case was tried yesterday In the
Court of General Sessions and Coiro was
convicted. The Prosecutor showed clearly
that the charge of murder against Costa
was the result of an Ill feeling against
him by Colro.
Judge DAILY did his best to save Coiro by
showing that he was deputy sheriff and
had done but his duty IN making the ar
rest because OF his suspicious. Coiro's
sentence was deferred
