About 800 pounds of small pieces of

to cart it away to be sold. When the
truck came it was found that the chill

opportunity to get candy money and the
iron was missing. All that is left to
show that an accident occurred is a
jagged hole in the asphalt sidewalk.

no reason for the falling of the huge

CENTRAL'S new FLYER.
Steamboat That Will Beat The
Fast Monmouth Now Build-
ing For Highland Service.


The Central Railroad has ordered a
new steamboat that will make twenty
five knots an hour, d greater rate OF
speed than is possible for the Monmouth,
the -company's fastest boat at present.
The Cramp Shipbuilding Company is
building the boat. which is to run from
the foot of Rector street, New York City,
to the Atlantic Highlands in fifty five
minutes. The Monmouth covers the dis
tance in one hour.
Owing to her great stern drag and her
draught the Monmouth is compelled to
slow down for distance of two and
one-half miles through Sandy Hook
Bay.
The new flyer will have torpedo boat
stern, which will enable her to obviate
some of the difficulty encountered in the
shallow water of Sandy Hook Bay by
the Monmouth. In general appearance
the new flyer will resemble the Mon
mouth and the Sandy Hook of the same
line. Following are the dimensions of
the new boat compared with those of the
Monmouth -
Length over all. new flyer 3OS feet.
Monmouth 270 feet; length on water line,

GIFT IRREvoCABLY GONE

Mayor Fagan's denial to the contrary
Notwithstanding, an unquestionable au-
thority. this morning, made a statement
regarding the offer of $150,000 made by
Banker Cornelius Zabriskie toward the
construction. of new hospital on condi-
ton that an equal sum be contributed by
others, which proves that the introduce
ton of petty politics in the Board of
Hospital Trustees appointed by the
Mayor did lose to the city the sum of
S300.OOO And this because Mayor
Pagan insulted DIR. John D. McGill by
neglecting to appoint him trustee.
Though Mayor Pagan and his cohorts
have endeavored to take advantage of
Mr.. Zabriskie's absence in Europe to
deny that he made it a condition that
DIR. McGill be trustee of the hospital,
the history of the offer shows that Mr..
Zabriskie made it plain to Mayor Pagan
and Elbert Rappleye, who acted as his
mentor in the matter, that it was an
nounced DR.. McGill should have the SUI
pervision of the construction of the build
ing and be prominent nits management.
More than a year ago DR.. McGilf,
being public spirited and having much
civic pride, agitated the hospital question
and brought the attention of Mr. Ia
brikkie to it. He and Mr.. Zabriskie have
been associated for thirty years, and the
banker has a great deal Of confidence in
DR.. McGill. Finally Mr.. Zabriskie said
he would put rp $150,000 if like sum
would be raised among the people of the
city, and DR.. McGill undertook to raise
the money. He was ready to put up
$4,000 himself and, with the exception
of a few thousands, the necessary means
was pledged
Mayor Fagan and Mr.. Rappleye called
on Mr.. Zabriskie at his office in the
Hudson County National Bank building
ard the matter was gone over fully. Mr..
Zabriskie said he would give the money
and if there was anything lacking when
the subscriptions closed lie would in
crease his gift so that the whole 100000
would be made up. But he said repeat
edly that he took it for granted DIR. John
d. McGill was to have the supervision
of the construction work and to also
have some part in the mana cement of the
hospital.
"Dr McGill is the best man in the
city for the work. said Mr.. Zabriskie.
The visitors left, and at later day
Mayer Pagan called on DR.. McGill and
received a pledge for large sum Of
money. Then the Mayor dropped the
matter, and by his inertness at first let
the 100000 slip away from the city,
