A most conscientious society is the

too much money.

General Manager David
Young Tells How the
Company Will Spend
a Million.
NEW POWER HOUSE COMING
Jackson Avenue Line to Be
Extended and New Line
to Go on Avenue D.

Every effort is being made by the North
Jersey Street Railway Company to carry
through the Improvements of the system
as ordered by the Board of Directors at
their last meeting, wiaem they announced
that 81, 100000 were at the disposal of the
company for that purpose.
General Manager David Young said this
morning that bids had been received for
the construction of the new power house
in Newark, and a contract would be
awarded in day or two. These bids are
for the masonry only. the machinery pro-
posals have not yet been advertised
Sixty new trolley cars have been order
ed from the John Stevenson Company. Of
Elizabeth, and these are now being built.
Mr.. Young expects a delivery of some
portion of the order within a week or
two When they arrive the Bayonne and
Greenville lines will receive a considerable
portion of them, and this summer at least
there will be no complaint about lack of
cars Newark lines will, of course, re-
ceive their share of the additional equip
ment.
Plans for new lines have not yet been
furnished. and the company officials will
not say what is to be done in that way.
1t is, however, well understood that Ba-
yonne will have more lines, one down the
east and the other down the west side of
the peninsula. The request of the Ba-
yonne Board of Trade for a trolley road
down Avenue d will be granted and there
will be additional facilities for Bergen
Point and direct communication via jack
son avenue line from that place to the hill
lines.
Greenville is clamoring for more facili-
ties, such as the extension of the line
from communipaw avenue through Rose
avenue, and another extension of the
West Side avenue line to the canal. These
improvements are under consideration.
together with many others, and in due
time something will be doing.
The company means to have its system
in Hudson County as perfect as possible.
and when the plans now being thought
out are carried out there won't be much
room for the chronic grumbler.

ANOTHER tunnel.
Philadelphia & Reading Co.,
It Is Said Will Seek
Connection With
New York.

A new tunnel scheme under the HUDSON
River connecting Jersey City with New
York. is announced This time It is the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany which seeks connection with the
city across the river. Behind the scheme,
it is said, is that princie of finance, J. P.
Morgan. and New York Central Railroad
Company's interests.
What has given rise to the rumor was
because the railroad company has recent
ly arranged its schedule providing hourly
fast trains between Philadelphia and. New
York, and the announcement that after
May IS the connection between the rail-
road company and the B. & O., SO far as
the New York business is concerned, will
be terminated. thereafter the P. & r..
running its own trains.
There have been rumors for several
months of strained relations between the
Philadelphia and Reading and Pennsyl-
vania Railroad systems and at the same
time the Jersey Central and the Reading
have been drawing c,cser together. 1t
was said today that had the Pennsylvania
Railroad been a few hours later it would
not now be in control of the Baltimore
and Ohio, negotiations with the Philadel-
phia and Reading for the purchase of
the road having been almost concluded
when the Pennsylvania stepped in.
Since the acquisition of the Jersey Cen
tral the Reading has been getting a great
deal of business from the New oYrk Cen
tra.s Beech Creek road at Newberry
Junction. and it is said this was due to
the invasion of the New York Central's
territory by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Since the announcement that the Penn
sylvania would tunnel under the river to
get into the heart of New York there
have been numerous hints that the Read
ing's interests would be protected, and
the story that Mr.. Morgan is at the head
of syndicate that will tunnel from Jer-
sey. City for the benefit of the Reading
and Jersey Central properties is looked
upon here as at least possible.
Neither President George F. Baer nor
Vice President Theodore Voorhees, would
discuss the question last night. Pennsyl-
vania Railroad officials have nothing to
say on the subject of a Reading tunnel.

A we'll dressed couple, the man abou-
thirty-five and the girl about twenty-five,
arrived in lower Jersey City sunday a.
tarnoon and made inquiries concerning
the residence of Baptist OF. Presbyterian
clergyman. 1t was the pretty brown eyed

formed.
Pastor Biddle and the witnesses were
sworn to secrecy. He told them that he
would respect their wishes as far as he
could, but would have to make a report
of the wedding within thirty days. That
satisfied the newly welded pair but both
said they hoped he would keep the we'd
ding quiet as long as possible.

tail of the wedding. He admitted having
nerforraed the ceremony but said hs
