John II. Woodbridge appeared before
Alderman Davies last evening and
swore out a warrant for the arrest OF
John Burke, Walter Malta. of 1927
Price street and Andrew Dorsey, OF
North Ninth street, on the charge oil
felonious wounding. Woodbridge, who
lives in Hcnnessy court. has been
working for some time past as rock
man at the oxford mine, and he claims
that while returning from the home OF
his mother last evening about $50, he
was set upon by the defendants and
seriously wounded.
Woodbridge's face is in a terrible
condition, the skin on the nose and
chin is badly cut, and he has a wound
OH the right side of his head. His head
is so completely swathed in bandages
that only one eye, one check and his
mouth are visible.
John Burke and Walter Malta were
arrested late last evening and given a
hearing in the police station. Both the
defendants denied that they were con-
cerned in the affair, and in the absence
Of witnesses, the hearing was put over
until this morning, each being being
placed under $500 bail, which they were
unable to furnish. The police are out
after Dorsey, but expect to have him
this morning in time for the hearing.
Woodbridge is the father of six
small children, the oldest being about
13 years of age. The father stated that
on account of the strike he was unable
to provide for his family and so went
to work.

DUNMoRE DOINCS.
People of the Borough Agitated Over
the Fact That the Sewer Contract
Is Not Awarded.

The question of sewer is a matter
that is agitating a large number of
people in this borough at present. The
council are apparently deadlocked very
securely on the matter of awarding the
contract, three favoring the bid of NJ.
j. Gibbons, for $7477O.75, and three
wanting to award it to O'Boyle &
Donohue, for $6S,SS1.6O
AS has been stated in this column be-
fore, the difference between the bids is
mainly in the matter of rock to be re-
as $4,000 feet, the estimate made by
ex-Borough Engineer Knight. The bid
of Gibbons for rock was 80 cents per
foot making a total of $2S,SOO; O'Boyle
& Donohue's at 35 cents per foot was
$4,000. The matter that the general
public cannot satisfactorily understand
is why the bid of the Joseph Hendler
Construction company whose price for
rock was 2S cents per foot or total
of $l3440 for the rock work, does not
merit the votes of at least some of the
councilmen, Their total bid for the
sewer complete was $64,575.75, about
$4,000 less than their nearest compete
tor.
1t would seem that the star chamber
decision of the sewer committee that
they We're not responsible bidders was
somewhat presumptious in the face of
the fact that their certified check for
$500 accompanied their bid, to be for
feited in the event of their failure to
execute contract and file a bond of
1000 within ten days.

nut street bridge. Is to be paved with
cobble stone. The work will be started
this morning, and will be under the
direction OF the bureau of highways.
The cost Of paving will be stood by
the city. At the point where the pave
will be laid the street Is very narrow
and wagons are compelled to go into
the gutter to allow cars to pass, this
soon causes a rut and constant using
makes the street almost impossible.
Last year the city paid over 5000 for
having crushed stone put on the road
bed and rolled down. Although this
stood the test for while 1t soon gave
away and now the street Is as bad
as ever. The cost of paving will be
about $3.50 and in the interests Of econ-
omy 1t was thought best to have the
work done.
The work of macadamizing Garfield
avenue. Is being steadily pushed and
soon the street will boast of broad
level roadway. 1t has been many years
since any work has been done on
Fourteenth street. and the city decided
to fill 1t in and bring it up to grade
and then roll 1t.

Interesting Notes.

An exciting runaway occurred on
West Market street at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, when a horse attached
to buggy started down the street
at break neck pace. The driver was
watering the animal at the square and
in some manner or other. the horse
became frightened and started down
the street. The driver leaped and
caught hold of the bride but was
thrown aside.
The horse in turning around pulled
the buggy trough the trough and con-
tinued his flight until in front of Con-
nolly's livery, where the horse collided
with a wagon and was brought to a
standstll. The damages to the outfit
were slight.
During the excitement the driver lost
his watch but 1t was found and re-
turned to him later.
