Hardy Was Not Much Hurt. However, ana
Managed to Get Awny-so Did They.
Elmer Hardy. a young man about "a years Of
age, living in this city, drove to Perth Amboy
yesterday to make collections from various
stores and people to whom he had sold brooms.
He started for home shortly after 4 o'clock.
When between Perth Amboy and Ford's Corner
two masked men stepped out from behind a
clump OF bushes. One of them grabbed the rein
and stopped the horse. and the other pressed .
revolver against Hardy's temple and demanded
his money.
sciously. raised his left arm to knock away the
revolver from his face. In SO doing the weapon
was discharged, the bullet passing clear through
the fieshy part OF the arm about a quarter way
above the wrist toward the elbow. The noise
frightened the horse and he started to run. The
other masked man was knocked down by the
horse and the wheels OF the carriage passed over
his body. Hardy shortly afterward stopped the
the two men. who were still standing in tho
road. One OF the men dropped and jumped
up again. Hardy again tred and the two men
ran into a field. Hardy then whipped up his
horse and drove TO this city. where he reported
the occurrence to the police authorizes.
He described both men as fully six feet in
height and OF heavy build. Each wore n black
brown Fedora hat, and they were well dressed.
Hardy thinks that the two mer must have seen
him in Perth Amboy or kno"n of his business
there. He does not think that he hit either of
the men when he shot. Hardy's wound villa
probably not prove dangerous.

THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID DYs-

Now Recognized as n Cause of serious
Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is a form OF ind.ges-
ton resulting from fermentation of the food.
The stomach being too weak to promptly
digest it, the food remains until fermenta-
ton begins, filling the stomach with gas,
and bitter, sour. burning taste in the
mouth is often present. This condition soon
becomes chronic and being an everyday oc-
currence is given but little attention. Be
cause dyspepsia is not Immediately fatal,
many people do nothing for the trouble.
Within g recent period remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. 1t is known as Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets and is row becQm-
ing rapidly used and prescribed a radical
cure for every form of dyspepsia. N 50

ordinance originally prepared the fee was
graduated according to the value of the
work. The minimum fee was 81 for plumb
ing jobs under $500. Above that price the
fee was to be increased, under the old ordi-
nance.
DR.. Moffett introduced an ordinance last
night that is intended to do away with the

flicts with the state gambling laws or
whether it can be enforced by the city. OFF,
Gals is a question. There are a number of
prominent lawyers who believe that state
laws are sufficient to enable the police to
suppress this evil.

ing of any rubbish in any street or alley.
The present ordinance only prohibits the
burning of trash in improved" streets. Mr..
Grail thinks thaC his ordinance would pre-
vent people from burning weeds and rub
bish outside of their own premises. The
committee on public health has drawn very
fine distinctions in this respect, and has
amended the ordinance to prohibit the burn
ing Of rubber leather and oil cloth, instead
of weeds, grass, etc. Both ordinances We're

THREE HOSPITAL ENGINEERS.
DIR. Morrison Protests in Vain Against
This Extravngance.

Councilman Frank Clark knows all about
running electric light plants and other
things, and appeared before the Board Of
Public Health yesterday afternoon to air
his knowledge, The occasion was the recent
determination of the board to disallow an
additional appropriation asked by DR..
Poucher, superintendent of the City Hos
pitai, for one assistant engineer at a salary
Of 5000 year. Mr. Clark insisted that the
assistant was necessary, and said that the
board had erred in not asking the Council
to appropriate money for his salary. There
are two engineers provided for next year,
a chief and one assistant. This, DR.. Nor
rson, president of the board, thought was
enough. Mr.. Clark insisted that It was I'M
reasonable to require the engineers to lodge
at the hospital any more than it would be
to require the mayor to spend q certain
number of hours in the City Hall.
Where are we to get the money!" in
quired member of the board.
20 we Will look after that in the Council.
We found it for you last spring, and Wen
get it again. You have got a valuable
plant out there, and If your boilers were
to blow up the city would have to pay more
on one job of repairs than the mans salary
for an entire year.
Dr. Morrison thought that 1t was as rea-
sonable to require the chief engineer to re-
main at the hospital as the superintendent
or other employees. Nevertheless, as he
and DR.. Iockrldge Were the only members
present when superintendent Pouchers re-
quest was voted down, he moved to recon-
slider the question. Mr.. Clark suggested
that $40 month, with board and lodging,
might be sufficient for the assistant en-
gineer he wishes to have retained. DR.. Dur
ham moved that the controller be requested
to recommend an appropriation of $500 a

had money to pay. DIR. Morrisons conten-
ton is that the engines can be properly
run by two engineers, one to have charge
at night and another in the daytime. Mr..
Clark, who undertakes that the Council
will pay for the third man. seems to think
that there should be a distinction between
a chief engineer and his assistants, as
there is in his own case Mr.. Clark ex-
planned that his own assistants do most of
the work, but that he is liable ITO be called
from his bed at any hour of night whep

FUTURE OF WEST SHORE
1T MAY BE MADE A sIDETRACK FOR
THE NEW YORK CENTRAL.
Unusual Number of Accidents in Octo-
ager LOree's Fine Record.

A rumor has gained currency that the
New York Central and the West Shore are
soon to be more identified as one interest
than ever before, and that after Jan. 1 the
through trains on the West Shore between
Buffalo and New York will be taken off and
this traffic transferred to the parallel line,
the New York Central. The New York Cen
trail practically parallels the West Shore
from Buffalo to Albany and from the state
capital to the metropolis the only dividing
line is the Hudson river. The big cities
through which both of these lines run and
in some of which are located union depots
are Rochester. Palmyra, Newark, Lyons,
Weedsport, Syracuse, Canastota, Oneida
and Utica. The West Shore also runs
within a few miles of Albany and Troy,
both heavy contributors to the Central. 1t
is not the intention, however, according to
the rumor, to take off the West Shores ac-
commodation trains; but, instead, to in
crease this local business and to cut wider
swath in handling freight. The West Shore
now runs five through trains from Buffalo
to New York and six in the opposite di-
rection.
