CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT.
Rockaway Valley Railroad Now Con,
trolled by the Fisher Interests.

The fight between the Haines and
Fisher interests to control the Rocka-
way Valley Railroad has resulted in
bringing the matter into court on an
order to show cause why Fisher should
not be restrained from selling two
thirds of the stock of the road, which
he secured from Haines under contract.
The case will come up for argument
at the September term of court In the
meantime the Fishers are in control
of the road, and everything is running
smoothly.
The future plans for the road include
the completion of the Speedwell
avenue extension, and an extension
from Whitehouse to Pennington,
giving connection with the Pennsyl-
vania, Lehigh Valley and Jersey Cen
trial railroads.

Mason's Union.

Lively Affair at the Meeting of the
Mason's Union.
AT a meeting of the Masons' Union,
Monday evening, the question Of con-
tract work came up for discussion. 1t
proceeded very smoothly for a while,
but there was some difference of opin-
ion among the members, and they
thought to settle the matter in the
good old fashioned way.
Although an Italian row, it had a
strong Irish flavor. Chairs, CLUBS,
cuspidors and tables were used as
weapons of offence and defense. and
from some of the marks left on the
heads and bodies of some of the COM
batants it looked as if knives and
razors also figured in the mixup.
Frank Precario got a cut to the
skull bone, across the side of his head.
ami was otherwise damaged about
the face and body. His was the worst
case, but there were others not far
behind. Police Surgeon McCarroll took
eight stitches in the wound, and it is
thought Precario is not in precautions
condition.
Charles Bondembo, Carmen Monico
and Alphonso Carrpano were arrested
and taken before Justice Haines. They
waived hearing and were placed
under $500 bonds each to await the
action of the grand jury Joseph
Lusardi went on their bonds.

Bryan the Great.

However He Is Not an Adherent to
Bryan the Great.
George Smith a gentleman of color
is in limbo on account of his tenacity
in sticking to the silver question. 1t
is not however the kind of silver
question which is agitating the ex-
colonel from Nebraska and his adhe-
rents. Georges silver illusions run to
knives, forks and spoons-other peoples
property. Well, as the story book says,
George went to work for Louis Wis
mara the restaurant keeper a few
months ago. Shortly afterwards Mr..
Vismara had to buy some new silver
ware, as he seemed to be running
short. A little time after that Mr..
Vismara had to buy more silverware.
After he had done that several times
he began wondering where his silver
ware was going to. He felt sure the
guests did not eat it along with their
meals and he did not think whole
dozens of knives could disappear in
the refuse. Thus Mr.. Vismara emula-
ted the late lamented Sherlock
Holmes and began series of deduc-
tions.
The result was that on Wednesday
Officer Henderson, took a warrant
for the arrest of George Smith over to
the restaurant, and then took George
back to police headquarters. There
he was searched and several knives,
forks and spoons discovered in his
pockets.
George was greatly surprised at the
discoveries, and wept large tears as
he explained that he knew nothing
about how the silverware got in his
pockets. His tears did not avail,
however, and as consequence he is
now watching the grass grow in the
court yard next to the jail Justice
Cliff helped him bit

SOME CENSUS RETURNS.

The population of Newark, N. j.,
as announced by the census depart
ment, is 246, 070, as against 1871. $50, for
1890. This is an increase of Ga, 240,
or 50. 83 per cent. The increase is
greater than for any decade since the
civil war. In 1880 the figures were
1856. 508, an increase of 45, 1922, or 33. 30
per cent.
Newark still ranks as the sixteenth
city in the United States and no
other eastern city for which report
has been made for this year shows SO
large proportionate gain.
