Citizens Think Zinc Works

park is to be secured. Abram Van Horn
refuses to come down off his perch and
the figure of $5o,000 He asked few days
ago for his 81 lots still prevails The good
people of Lafayette feel that the city
should not go to this expense, but should
institute condemnation proceedings i'm
mediately, asking the court to appoint a
commission to fix the value of the proper
ty. About $40, 900 is what the lots are fig
ured as being worth. This is about $500
apiece. The New Jersey Zinc Company
wants 81, 200 for a dozen lots adjoining the
Van Horn property There are several
buildings on these lots, but they will be
moved if the city agrees to purchase the
land.
There is no end of objection to the close

PRISON BABY I'LL.
Little Charley Mason's Sick
ness Causes Gloom in
Trenton.

Charles Edward Mason, the famous
Trenton Prison Baby is sick and
throughout that dreary place there is
anxiety as to his recovery.
The little patient is two years old His
mother, Annie Mason, is a thief She
is serving a three years sentence for
stealing in Cumberland County. When
the stork came to her two years ago, it
found her at the Florence Mission, out
side the prison, to which she had been
removed by the prison authorities, all of
whom agreed that it would be blot on
the fair name of New Jersey If it per-
mitted an innocent babe to come into the
world in prison.
After the baby was born, and its
mother got strong enough to be re-
turned to her prison cell, an appeal was
made to State Attorney General Grey for
some authority on which the tiny mite
could be committed to the prison.
That official searched the law books.
He ransacked the State Law Library,
an innocent baby could be consigned to
felons cell.
'aBut,'' said he, .as matter of hui
manity, little Charles Edward Mason
might be given into the care of his
mother, and I don't believe any one will
venture to make any fuss about it,
That's how this little baby got into Jail.
That wee prisoner roams at will through
the place Smug-faced Bill Sykeses listen
with their ears close to the grated cell
door for the toddling footsteps of that
kid adown the corridor, and his gurgling,
laughing voice is music that soothes the
worst thing in the prison.
The reverend man who looks after the
spiritual health of the convfcts taught
I Lay Me-" as soon as his tongue first
began to timber, and the baby had only
to clasp the grated cell door of the most
hardened felon with his chubby hands at
nightfall and begin the words of the good
night prayer to bring the crime steeped
man within back to the days when he
learned the holy words,
The prison chaplain declares that that
baby is his greatest assistance. The
prison physician says half hour Of

TROLLEY GAR STRUCK
Passengers Were Brighten
ed But No One Was
Hurt.

In the sudden storm which broke over
this city yesterday with such terrific
fury for about ten minutes, a stray bolt
OF lightning, wandering about for stray
place to light, landed ON car No. 612 of the
Nestside avenue line as it was standing
at the terminal on Bergen avenue, with
disastrous results. The crash could be
heard for blocks. There were number
OF women in the car, and these, after
giving vent to their fears in loud screams,
rushed for both doors to escape from the
small flames that were playing tag
through the crevices of the floor and on
the brass stanchions and roof
The motors were ruined by the bolt the
fuses We're totally destroyed and the car
was useless for the time
The conductor and motorman, after re-
covering from their sudden fright, assur-
ed the passengers that there was no dan
easily enough, but there were those who
refused to stay any longer in the ruined
car, and jumped off to seek shelter under
neighboring awnings.
The display was pretty while the light
ming was doing its deadly work on the
motors and fuses. Vari-colored jets of
fame could be seen shooting up through
the floor for few seconds and the bolt
finally spent its force by running along
the stanchions to the roof, and thus on to
the trolley pole, where 1t ran along the
feed wire and disappeared. leaving blue
trail of flame behind it.
The car was pushed back into the sta
BILE on Montgomery street and another one
run out. The passengers were transferred
and the car proceeded on it's trip to the
West Side avenue terminal
big open car on the Bayonne line was
rendered useless on the Grand street hill
during the heavy evening storm. The car
was loaded to its utmost capacity and
the curtains We're drawn down to keep out
the rain which the wind was blowing in
all directions. While the car was climb
ing the steep grade at a fair rate of speed
there was sudden binding flash of light
followed by deafening burst of thunder.
The lights in the car went out and the
car ceased its journey. Men climbed over
seats to get out of the closed car several
women were knocked about unceremon-
iously during the excitement and one is
said to have tainted. The excitement was
increasing each second as the car stood
in the middle of the hill in total darkness.
Finally the lights blazed forth their well
come rays again and quiet was restored.
The car then proceeded on it's journey.
Some were of the opinion that the car had
| been struck and the sudden extinguishing
of the lights tended to increase their
fears. The car had not been struck, but
the power had given out just when the
flash of lightning occurred.
