ATTEMPT TO
STEAL SLOOP
Captain William Buchanan S
Vessel Had Anchor Chain.
Tangled.
JIB PARTLY. RAISED

Captain William Buchanan yester-
day discovered that an attempt had
been made to steal his oyster sloop the
night before. When he arrived along
shore he noticed the jib of the vessel
partly raised and, as this was very
unusual when a boat is left at anchor
for the night, he rowed out and board
ed the vessel to investigate.
He found that some one, evidently
"a person who knew very little about
boats, had attempted to raise the
anchor. The chain was tangled and
refused to work. Captain Buchanan
reported the incident to police head
quarters. He told a News reporter
this morning that he believed the
chain refusing to work was all that
saved his vessel from being stolen.

COLLEGE
QUARTET.
Rutgers Students Entertained
Large Audience In High
School Auditorium.
SONGS GIVEN.

An excellent musical enter rtainment
was given in the High school auditor
ium last night by the Rutgers College
Quartet. 1t was under the auspices
of the Athletic Association of the
High School The auditorium was
crowded and everyone was delighted.
The men were in excellent voice and
the jolly college songs seemed to
touch the right cord in the audience.
Encore followed encore and sometimes
the quartet responded twice to one
selection.
W. K. Flanagan with his comic
recitations did his full share of the
fun making. He started off in a strain
that made everybody laugh and every
time he appeared after that the audi
ence was in an uproar.
"Chestnuts, that good old familiar
song to which something new is
always being added, never grows out
of date, especially when sung by col
lege boys. The glee club attempted
to add whole list of patent medicine
prescriptions, but the dose was too
much and the song ended amid hearty
laughter in which the quartet joined.
When the merriment had ceased
to some extent, the leader announced
that the quartet would sing the last
verse which had caused all the trouble,
backward. This was greeted with
applause and more fun was anticipat-
ed, but the singers merely turned
their backs to the audience and sang
part of the verse. This was the cause
of more applause. Everyone seemed
sorry when the fun was over.
Among some of the songs rendered
were Bow Wow Wow, ""Old Mother
Hubbard, "Come Out, Dinah, on the
Green" Gas" Terminals Pi-
an a, Mr.. Dooley," "Doan' You
Cry Ma Honey, " 1.-The Good Little
Boy and the Bad Little Boy and
medley. The concert closed with the
old familiar "On the Banks of the

gers cheer.

TROLLEY IN

Ordinance Granting Franchise
Toe. & |. B. Railway Pass
ed First Reading.
is WELL RECEIVED
Special Meeting of Woodbridge Township
Committee Last Night Many Citizens
Present Ordinance Approved And De.
cIased To Be Best For The People Ever
Drawn In This Vicinity.

The ordinance of the Elizabethport,
Amboy and Long Branch Railway
COMPANY was presented and passed on
its first reading at a special meeting
of the Township Committee in Wood
bridge last night. For trolley meet
ing, it was the quietest kind of an
affair, although well attended by the
citizens.
As usual, Mr.. Quinn of Carteret,
and Mr.. Weigel, of New Brunswick,
were present in the interests of the
company, and Ex-Judge Brown, who
has worked so hard to push the scheme
through, was also on hand to see that
matters went along smoothly.
On motion of the president of the
board, Mr.. Martin, counsel for the
township of Woodbridge, who had
prepared the ordinance read that por-
tion which was not ready at the last
meeting. At the conclusion several
of the gentlemen present pronounced
it the strongest trolley ordinance that
they had ever heard in this section.
Mr.. Weigel said that in all his long
experience in this line of work he had
never seen an ordinance drawn up
where the interests of a township or
city were so carefully looked after as
this one.
Mr.. Quinn also took the same stand
and when. Charles Brown suggested
that some provision be made whereby
the township should be remunerated
in years to come Mr.. Quinn said that
if this sort of thing wa going to be
suggested, capital would be ed off
at once and there would be no trolley.
They argued the question from several
points of view with the result that
Mr.. Brown raised no objection to the
passage of the ordinance on the first
reading.
AS told in the Evening News the
ordinance provides for T rails, modern
vestibule cars, the company to pave
with macadam on both sides of the
track for distance of 10 feet. The
ordinance provides fines for the fail
ure to do any of these things and es-
tablishes time when, if cars should
stop running, they must be in opera
tion again, for failure to do this the
company can be forced to forfeit its
franchise.
The hearing was adjourned until
May 1 when it is expected the ordi-
nance will be passed on its second and
final reading and become law. In
the meantime those who have had
charge of obtaining the consents along
the proposed route are having plenty
of trouble in Carteret, also with the
Presbyterian Church in Woodbridge.
The route may again have to be
changed.

ERECT ENTIRE
NEW ORA WLBRLDGE.
Plans of The Pennsylvania Railroad Continue To Be Discussed
1t Is Now Said New Bridge Costing Sz5OOOO viii Be
BOit-GrOwth of This Section compes The Improvement

Further details of what the Penn
sylvania railroad intends to do along
the Long Branch division are gradual
ly being made known. The Evening
News told, ON Monday. of the elabor-
ate plans of elevated tracks and new
stations at many places along the line
including Perth Amboy. Now comes
the story that the company is contem-
plating new drawbridge over the
Raritan river. 1t will cost $3.50, 600.
it is said, and will be one of the finest
in the world
When the present bridge was
built, it had that reputation, but
others have since been construct
ed which have outstripped it in
every way. The fact that the bridge.
as far as the trestle goes. was practic-
ally rebuilt last winter, leads to the
supposition that an entirely new
bridge is out of the question. This
does not follow, however, for at the
present time, from the bridge to the
Central station is o steep grade and If
tracks are to be elevated through this
city higher bridge will be necessary.
This meets with obsticles on the
South Amboy side where the Long
Branch division now passes under the
Amboy division including numerous
tracks leading to the Pennsylvania
coal docks at that place. AS all the
work is being considered by the Penn
sylyania railroad, however, it will
attend to the problem at South Ambd
without any Interruptions by on
siders.
1t is announced on excellent author
ity that in at least two years timd
the railroad tracks will be elevated
through great portion of this terri
tory.
The declaration that from
50, 600, 600 to ~ 200 is Il
on the shore district.
The effort will be made to shorten
the running time between the shore
towns and New York 1t is believed
that with the changes it will take bat
one hour and ten minutes to run to or
from the metropolis and Asbury Park.
The great development of the sea-
shore district has forced the railroads
to act. Boroughs and towns have
sprung up with such rapidity that
there are but few vacant tracts left.
Each new town means additional
crossings to guard. Travel on the
streets has increased to such an extent
that crossings left unguarded for years
past have recently been provided with
dagmen.
This is heavy item of expense that
elevated tracks would do away with.
The cost of maintaining fiagmen in
this vicinity alone is equal to the in
terest of several hundred thousand
dollars.
In addition to this, there is the very
considerable sum paid out by the com-
pany in damages for grade crossing
accidents.

SHARKEY WINS THE
WRESTLING MATCH.
Gave Hansen The Struggle of His Life Last Mght--Oane

Made Good ShOMing--Large Crowd Present

The popularity of Tom Sharkey in
this city and surrounding towns was
den onstrated last night when Wilder
Hall was crowded with sporting men.
H. P. Hansen, the local wrestler, had
agreed to throw Sharkey twice in an
hour catch -as catch can style or for

of the gate receipts. He failed in his
attempt, getting only one fall in that
time.
Hansen and Sharkey came into the
ring at O'Clock and at 9.02 the bout
began. Pin holds were to count and
the strangle hold barred. After sprint
ing about for a short while both OBJ
tanned the neck hold which was
quickly broken. Finally Sharkey per.
mitted Hansen to get body hold
which he soon broke again. Hansen
then began to warm up to his work
He got full nelson and tried his best
to put the pugilist over but Sharkey
got eff the mat and managed to grab
hold of the guide lines and thus save
himself.
After a warning from the referee
that if Sharkey did that again, he
would be disqualified, he permitted
Hansen to get another body hold. But
this time the Dane did not hold his
man long, for in less time than ii
takes to tell, Sharkey had secured q
leg hold on Hansen and soon had him
down, but as it was outside the mat,
the referee called it foul.
For a long time after this both
wrestlers lodged about the ring, each
refusing to gre the other a hold.
Hansen managed, after a great deal
of trouble, to get a hammerlock on
Sharkey and this time laid the Irish.

and 80 seconds.
After rest of ten minutes the Sec

to get another fall. He seemed to
realize that he was up against it, For

if the timekeeper had not announced
that the time was up. Much to the
disappointment of the Dane he had to
leave the ring and the decision was
awarded to Sharkey.
In the preliminaries Steve Decker
agreed to throw Jack O'Brien two out
of three times, catch as catch can
style. In the first bout Decker got an
arm hold on O'Brien and downed him
in minutes and 40 seconds. In the
next bout Decker got body hold and
downed his opponent in minutes and
seconds.
J. D. Jones, of South Amboy, was
the referee, and Harry p. Fox, the
timekeeper.
At the end of the match last night,
Sharkey announced that he had $500
which he was willing to post as for
felt that he could throw Hansen the
best two out of three falls in an hour,
catch as catch-can style. J. d. Dono-
hue, Hahsen's manager, told the

accepted the offer for Hansen and
would try and make arrangements for
the match to come off in about two
