EXPECT TO BREAK STRIKE.
Bosses Say They Will Have Plenty
at Work Monday.

The trouble between the boss paint
ers and the journeymen painters seems
to be growing wider and wider every
day. Today the bosses have a number
of men at work and claim that by
Monday the strike will be entirely
broken because they will have plenty
of men here. Two new firms of paint
es have been formed and today all of
the iourneymen are at work either in
Tottenville, Woodbridge, or this city.
The new firms claim that they have
plenty of work and win keep the men
oging for a number of on ihs. The
painters say the reason they cannot
prevent non union men working is
because at the present time they are
all doing old work. When they start
on some of the new buildings the
painters claim they will call off ali
the mechanics.

Board Held Special Meeting Last
Might and Took Action on
Several Matters.
ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN
A Substitute was Also Appointed Books
Of History and Travel to be Placed on
the SheIves-SteeI Backs to be in new
Building Capacity can be Increased
Waiting for Architects Retnrn.

A special meeting of the Library
Board was held last night fol- the pur-
pose of appointing an assistant librar-
ian. Miss Emma Fraser was appoint
ed as the assistant and the board also
decided to have on the list substi-
tute assistant, so Miss Marie Bradley,
of Market street, was appointed to fill
that position. The board also decid-
ed to purchase a complete set of
Charles Dickens works, and number
of volumes of history and travel, as
it seems number of people of this
city would rather have them than
fiction.
These will be the last books pur.
chased until the library is moved to
the new building, unless a special
bargain is offered.
The board is now waiting the re-
turn of Mr.. Greenley, the architect,
who is now in Europe. He is to tell
what color is to be used in the wood
work of the new library At the next
meeting of the board, which will be
held in July, the furniture for the
new building will be purchased.
The book racks will be made of
steel. They will be seven feet high.
The racks will be erected in the back
room of the library. AS the circula-
tion of the library increases the racks
will be fixed in such way that other
sections can be added to them by
placing steel rods on the top of them.
The holding capacity of the library is
supposed to be $4,000 volumes, but by
this scheme the holding capacity will
hold just four times OF 200, 900 volumes
all told.

People are Discussing the Route
the Traction Company will
Take When Change is Made
NOTHING OFFICIAL
Inquiries at the Raritan Traction Com
pany's Office We're Referred to ]. C.
Mccoy who Could not be Located This
Morning Down High Street to Fayetts
is Suggested as the Probable.

Much interest is manifested in the
story published in the Evening News
Wednesday telling of the radical
changes to be made within the next
twelve months by the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railroad which includes
changing the ferry house in this city
from the foot of Smith street to Fay
cite street. This evidently means
many changes in the city.
The new location for the ferry house
will have the greatest effect on the
traction company, whose tracks now
run down Smith street. All inquiries
as to the movements of the trolley
company made at the office of the
Raritan Traction Company were re-
ferred to Mr.. Mccoy, by Superintend-
ent Rock. An effort to see Mr.. Nc
Coy was unsuccessful as he was not
in his office at the Raritan Copper
Works Very little could be learned
officially. 1t seems certain, however,
that the traction company will extend
its line to the new ferry, but Just
what route will be chosen is undecid-
ed or at least is not ready for publi-
cation. Those interested in the matter
make several suggestions. One is to
run through Fayette street fipm State
street and then around Tr0fifs street.
The one which seems the most y lz
however, is that the company will
ask for a franchise down High street
from Smith street, thence to the ferry
at the foot of Fayette street and
thence around Front street and up
Smith street again. This will give
the cars one continuous run and save
the swinging of the pole at the top of
Smith street hill and the turning of
seats. The cars, as they come down
Smith street, will turn into High
street and around to Front street and
up Smith. This plan cannot be con-
firmed by any of the officials of the
road and is merely plan mapped out
by those who are discussing the
change.
1t is expected that Fayette street
will develop into business street and
will give the place more of the city
appearance. The abandonment of the
Smith street ferry leaves a location
for public dock.

phia, but his parents soon moved to

there two years later he went to In

Found Guilty of MansIaughter
by Jury in New Brunswick
Case Closed Yesterday.
SENTENCE JULY 7.
Defense Was that Defendant had Acted in
Self Defense Judges Charge State
Made Effort to Have the Man Hung
Witnesses Tell of Skimmon's Good
Character.
SbeeiaI 10 tie Evening Me7Os.

New Brunswick, June 26:-John
Simmons, accused of the murder of
his stepfather, Henry Jacobs, of South
Amboy, has been found guilty of man
slaughter. The Judge fixed July as
the date for sentence.
The trial was ended yesterday after
noon with the Judges charge to the
jury. The State had tried to prove
Skimmons guilty of murder in the
first degree. The case was rushed
through as quickly as possible and to
this end night session was held.
There were no startling developments
throughout the trial. The jury was
satisfied the murder was not premedi-
tated.
The defense was that Skimmon s
action was in self-defense. 1t was
claimed that he had gone to visit his
mother and had been attacked by his
steptather and had simply defended
himself from a murderous assault.

SUNSHINE AT
THE RESORTS.
BOyntOn Beach will Have a
Steamer Beginning Tomorrow
Afternoon.
SEA BREEZE. GAY.

Everyone is glad to see the sunshine
again, but none more than the pleas
ure resort managers. At Boynton
Beach a new feature has been added
which will prove decided attraction.
This is a boat, the H. @. Ellis. to be
run from South Amboy, Tottenville
and this city to the beach every after
noon and evening. The landing here
is to be made at the steamboat dock
at the foot of Smith street. The first
trip will be made tomorrow. The
boat leaves South Amboy at 1.3O to-
morrow afternoon, leaves Perth Am
boy at 1. 45 O'Clock and Tottenville at
10. The last trip up, from this city
is 8.45 O'Clock. This will doubtless
be a great attraction as it avoids the
long walk after alighting from the
trolley ears and also gives a pleasant
sail up the sound.
At Sea Breeze the weather has made
the season backward. The two boats,
Josephine and Eta May have not been
running during the wet weather, one
being sufficient to carry the traffic,
but with the warm weather again,
both will 60 into commission and the
crowds will be attracted to the breezy
resort on the point. 1t is a delightful

Good Stock Paws,

Ii is generally conceded that the
best IS the cheapest and this is es-
pecially motto cable in all kinds OF
STOCK. Poor stock is dear at any
price rs 1t costs as much or more
and 1t sells for half price on the
market. This fact was clearly
demonstrated last week when Rob.
Hamill shared small band of full
blood Llncol sheep. The yield OF
wool was twl &c that of ungraded
sheep and from single animal he
secured as high as 169 pounds.
No farmer ca n invest his money in
a better way than in buying the
very best stock that can be had, nc
matter what the price.
