The closing games of the week in the

on the Jackson avenue alleys between the
Volunteers n Dooless team. The match
was of an interesting nature. The Doc
less Club made it hot for the opposing
side and rolled up some high records in
the second game after having met a re-
verse in the first. The Volunteers did
not show the form that has been a fea-
ture of a majority of their games at home
and the team fell to a low average. : In

one until the end gave them a margin Of

Esher rolled 173 for Dooless. Whatever
chance the Volunteers had in the first
game was lost in the second and their
victory was eclipsed by a severe beating
at the end. The Dooless bowlers rolled
above the 800 mark and led by 101 pins.

CITY AT FAULT.
National Dock company's
Trestle Won't Be Chop
ped Down.

The city officials will not chop down
the trestle of the New Jersey Junction
Railroad where it crosses Mercer street,
as the Journal has ~endeavored to make
it appear they will. The trestle is not
obstructing the completion of the street
improvement. The ompany is waiting
for the city to keep its agreement.
When the Junction Railroad was given
permission to cross Mercer street it was
provided that Mercer street should be
left open to a width of twenty feet UNI
til such time as the city decided to i'm
prove the street to the full width of
sixty feet. When the street was paved,
curbed and graded right up to the point
OF crossing of the trestle the company
was then to remove its present spans and
build a bridge, the abutments to rest on
the curb line. The company has kept it's
agreements to the letter and for months
has been waiting for the city to i'm
prove the street UP to it's trestle.
The city has done practically nothing,
for the reason thai at Mayor Wanser's
suggestion the Street and Water Com
from the county at a trifing cost. The
rock is to be used in creating a founda-
ton for the street through the swamp
land. 1t was originally INTENDED to lay
asphalt from Brunswick street to the VIA
duct approach, but the swampy condi-
ton of the Ian has made it impossible
to use that pavement just yet. 1t is pro-
posed by the Mayor to lay a concrete
foundation for the street n build a
macadamized roadway through the
swamps. Just as soon as a safe foun-
dation can be created, asphalt will be
laid and the smooth-surfaced roadway to
the Hill completed.
This morning President Sterling had a
talk with Mayor Wanser in relation to
the ~trestle. AS a personal favor to Mayor
Wanser, President Sterling said he will
nave Mercer street bridged at once so
that the compan will not be5unfairly ac-
cused of delaying the street improve
ment.
The work of filing in the street up to
the trestle will be commenced, 1t is ex-
pected, some time Next week.
A this talk about c%hopping down the
trestle Is rot said an official his morn
ing. The delay is the fault Of the city,
not the company"

The tenants In the five story apartment
house at No. 1918 Washington street, Ho-
boken, were startled about eight O'Clock
last evening by the discovery of dense
volumes of smoke in the Railways. An in
~ve4stigation was made and the smoke was
traced to the apartments occupied by Mrs.
j. Magnus, ON the second floor. The door
leading to the rooms was locked. David
ButterwoTtn, one of the tenants, and
Charles Damn, tfhe ~jaalAtor of the house,
knocked loudly ON the door but received
no response. The smoke was pouring out
Through the cracks and keyhole In the
door and the men concluded that the
house was on fire.
After waiting a few moments and hear
ing NO noise coming from the inside, they
burst the door open. In the oven of the
hitchen stove was found a bundle of burn
ing wood, which 1T was discovered had
caused all the smoke. Mrs. Magnus, six
months old lafant was lying in a baby
carriage close by the stove. None Of the
either member of the family were at hoIne
and the rooms we're filled with smoke.
Mrs. Magnus had gone out visiting. She
did not return until nine o'clock In the
evening.
In the meantime the fire in the kitchen
stove was -extEnguished and the child was
taken care of by some neighbors. The In
FAINT was almost suffocated by the emok

JERsEYMIN NOT SATISFIED.
Much Fault Found with the
New Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON. March 20, 1Ss7.-Judg-
ing from the letters some of the Con-
gressmen are receiving all the New Jer-
sey Republicans are not entirely satis-
fed with the tariff bill. Congressman
Gardeners constituents are particularly
displeased because. they did not set a
specific duty on pottery instead of an ad
valorem duty. They do not hin tina
they have been justly dealt with. At the
same time they are fearing that they
will have to max the best of it. Con-
gresham Parker's constituents are com
planning to him because. of the bin, which
they say has put on a stiff duty on their
raw materials without a compensating
increased duty ON III finished products
The result Is they are much worse off
than If the tariff had beenNleft as 1t was.
Some change may be made before the bill
becomes a law, but whether the change
will be sufficient for them is uncertain.

Then follows a copy of the bill and these
reasons why it should pass

Then follows a copy of the bill and these
reasons why it should pass
1. Because under our present law every
railroad within the State is required to
carry a passenger and $50 pounds of bag
gag without extra charge. beyond the
bill is to require railroad companies to
carry a twenty-pound bicycle under the
same statute which entities a passenger to
$50 pounds of other baggage
2. Because for fifteen years the railroad
companies of this country have followed
the custom of carry bicycles without ex-
tw~enty-pound bicycles of today. but BIZ
and Weighing from fifty to sixty pounds.
railroads are today following this custom.
8. Because it is estimated that ten mill
lion passengers were carried on American
more than twice this number were car
ried by the railroads of Europe. The
railroad companies realize immense rev
enue from these passengers and have
Fever been put to a dollar extra Expense
in the carrying of bicycles.
4. Because the New Jersey Central Road
carries more bicycles h all the other
New Jersey railroads combined. This
traffic has been enormously profitable to
the railroad and is conducted
with an interchange of courtesy between
the railroad company and the wheelmen.
and no complaint has ever been lodged
d6diiiol IiC SOllpdlly ny lIS CyCllSlS IOr
any cause whatever.
;. Because more than ninety per cent.
of the bicycles carried by railroads are
carried by local trains IN which passen-
gers consist almost wholly of suburban
residents and commuters who do not
take with them any form of personal bag
gage aside from bicycles. 1t is, therefore,
absurd to say that a bicycle In any man
ner interferes with the handling of other
forms of baggage.
6. Because the .wheelnen of this State
are a unit for the passage of this bill.
The railroad companies are trying to
force q compromise" and the wheelmen
are bitterly opposed to such a proposition.
A principle is involved, and 70 principle
IN which the matter of right is to
be settled should be made the subject of
a compromise.
Only one of the Assemblymen stood I'M
and voted against the bill when it came
Up for final passage.
h railroads claim that the bill will be
defeated IN the Senate. The bill is of
interest to every cyclist in the State.
Don't weaken now. The battle Is half
won. @& 49, EE
