WHAT COM.
BUDD SAYS.
Declares that no One is to Blame
in the Landing Bridge Road
Matter.
REMARKS

State Road Commissioner Henry l.
Budd has been shown a copy of the
remarks of Justice Fort apropos of the
proposed investigation into the con-
duct of Middlesex County affairs
Among other things the Justice had
said:
"There seems to be only one thing
in which a question may be raised,
and that is the matter of public roads.
Whether they have been built we'll or
i'll has not been questioned except in
the matter of Landing Bridge road,
where the expenditure was 50, 900.
Here the State road commission er
directed a change in the contract.
cannot disabuse my mind of the fact
that both the State road commissioner
and his engineer knew of the fact at
the time thev entered into the supple
mentary contract that the rock there
was shale.
Engineer Meeker agreed to pay the
contractor the price of 50 with the
understanding that the contractor was
to build the wide walls. This offer
came from the engineer, and not from
the contractor or the freeholders, so
that If there was anything wrong in
that contract the State road commits
sioner, and he alone, is responsible.
"There is no denial from State Road
Commissioner Buod If he said he
was deceived or his engineer was de-
ceived it would be different case,
but until Mr.. Budd relieves himself
think the board has nothing to do
with the matter.
Here is what Mr.. Budd had to say !:
"There is no reason whatever why l
should prefer charges against any one,
as no dishonesty exists. In this Opin-
ion Judge Fort concurred in yesterday
afternoon. There is to be no lnvesti-
CATION of any one. The trouble all
arose over whether certain substance
was rock or not. 1t is very hard to
remove, but crumbles when exposed
to the air, giving it the APPEARANCE of
being shale, but it is not. The con-
tractors were to receive 50 per cubic
yard if any stone was encountered,
and there is quite little. In looking
over the prof1les of the road we became
dissatisfied with the grade and insist
ed on it's being reduced.
Another contract was entered into
for this work, which included the
building of retaining wall next to
some handsome property, the debris
to be used in filling up. the meadows.
The contractor was to receive So per
cubic yard for this work. The engi-
neer estimated that large amount of
rock was to be removed and for this
work the contractor was to receive
So, 900 more. There is no ground upon
which a dishonest motive can be
attributed to any one. Apparent
irregularities will always creep into
work of this character.

Gertrude Pfeiffer is manager. They
will try to arrange games with other

This afternoon the Senior and Junior
literary societies are being reorgan
lied. Officers will be elected and
plans discussed for the coming season.
Last year these societies were very
successful in developing several de-
sirable traits in the scholars such as
extemporaneous speechma king and
debating. In debating it taught them
the necessity of weighing both sides
of question before giving an opinion
on the matter The societies expect
to accomplish much during this term.

CONFER WITH
OFFICIALS.
Aldermen Visit New York to Dis.
Cuss the Bridge Over Rail-
road at Sheridan Street.

Aldermen loft, Donovan and Run
yon, the committee appointed to con-
fer with the officials of the RaIitan
and North Shore Railroad con ncerning
the bridge over their tracks at the
landing of the new Raritan river
bridge, are in New York today to see
what arrangements can be made. City
Attorney Hommann accompanied
them.
The railroad is a branch of the
Central railroad and follows the north
shore of the Raritan river for several
miles, touching the many industries
along there. 1t is necessary to cross
this track to get upon the new bridge
and to avoid a grade crossing the
bridge has been raised as it approach
ed the north shore so as to go over the
track. Where the bridge structure
now ends it is about twenty feet high.
1t is the intention to meet this with
the north approach. The city officials
want the railroad company to bear the
expense of the bridge over the tracks.
1t is thought that satisfactory un-
derstanding can be made.

TROUBLE is
INCREASING.
Creditors of K. S. Raymond ap
Becoming Anxious -Liveryman
Holds the Horse.

Trouble seems to be increasing for
K. S. Raymond, the Smith street
confectioner, who left this city last
week and has not been here since.
Mrs. Raymond refuses to discuss the
strange absence of her husband 1t is
said he has many creditors both hare
and out of town and that they are
making demands which may soon
compel the closing of the business.
One of the employees at the livery
stable of Liddle & Pfeiffer, on New
Brunswick avenue, where Raymond's
horse is kept, said this morning that
all of the employees at the stable had
received orders from Mr. Pfeiffer that
under no circumstances should the
horse be taken out. The wagon, it is
understood, has been seized by Mr..
Koch, of New Brunswick avenue, who
recently sold it to Raymond, as the
payment has not been completed.
An agent from the firm who recent
ly sold Raymond the new soda foun-
tain, was in town yesterday and, 1t is
said, unless the account with that
firm is soon settled, the fountain Will
be taken away. A well known car
penter has bill of about 500 which
he would like to collect, while other
numerous firms, such as ice dealers,
are looking for some money. One of
the local ice dealers told a News re-
porter that Mrs. RAYMOND, who is
now running the place, was paying
cash for everything. No information
Will be given out at the store in re-
gard to the trouble.

COAL TO BE
PLENTIFUL.
Storage Grounds are all Filled
and More Land is Being Pur-
chased TO Hold the Supply.

7 From all appearances there will be
an abundance of oal this winter, but
the price per ton will remain at Sc 30.
Not only has the Lehigh Valley filled
it's coal bins IN this city, but the local
coal dealers have also heavy supply.
AS the local bins of the Lehigh
Valley will not hold any more and
the stock yards at Plaintield are near
ly filled, the Lehigh Valley has pur-
chased a big farm near Easton, and is
using the tract for storage. Many
thousand tons of hard coal are being
placed there, 1t is said, and it will
be long time before it is all used up.
Anthracite coal to the amount of
8, 100, 400 tons was mined during the
month of August. Compared with
August 1902, when the coal strike w 5
4, S3S, 626 tons. For the eight months
of the calendar year the shipments
have been AZ, 431 $40 tons, an increase
over the same period last year of
13, 046, 600 tons.
According to officials of the coal
companies no material reduction in
output will be made during the pres
ent month. Vice president Hender-
son, of the Reading Company, says
no orders have been issued TO shut
down collieries. Only one Reading
colliery is idle, and that one for re-
pairs.
According to well informed coal
men, the idea that there has been an
over production of coal is erroneous.
The brief period of dullness which
the companies have experienced has
been due to a shifting in the season
when coal bins are filled. Fearing
another outbreak in the anthracite
fields the consumer purchased his
supply in the spring instead of in the
late summer months, as had been
usual prior to the strike.

YESTERDAYS STORM
DID MUCH DAMAGE.
Wind Lasted only Short Te but Blew Roofs off and Sent
Ch"'0eys cIattenng to the GrOundCpper Works Suffered
Greatly Roof of Coal Storage Blown off,

What appeared to be only storm of
ordinary size yesterday afternoon,
had deHerent appearance at the plant
OF the Raritan Copper Works where it
tore things up in general, doing more
damage than the blow Wednesday.
At 10 yesterday afternoon The sky
was very dark and suddenly thA\ rain
came down IN torrents. The wind for
a few moments blew and howled ana
struck the Copper Works With all It's
fury
During those few minutes the roof
of the coal storage building was torn
completely off. The iron sheets over
the furnace building were ripped off
like paper, and sent spinning, some as
far as the new Raritan river bridge
and several employees at the Cheese
borough plant narrowly escaped being
struck by them.
The ele ectric light and telephone
wires were crossed and the private
fire alarm kept ringing throughout the
storm.
Part of the roof of the copper stor-
age was also torn off. Workmen are
at work today repairing the damage.
At the Cheeseborough Vaseline
Works, the roof of one of the sheds,
used by the workmen, was blown off,
The skylight over James Kirbv's Cafe,
on Smith street, was blown away.
Two houses OH Mcclellan street lost
their chimneys, the fence around the
Hallahan property at Madison avenue
and Marx ct street, is down, while a
big tree in front of the Hallahan cot
tage on Madison avenue was badly
split.

and teams at work clearing the sureets

Freeholders yesterday, as he expected
to do Surrogate Peter F. DAILY, for
the board, informed the court that
they had no choice to make. Justice
Fort said that Prosecutor Voorhees,
had failed to make his suggestion of
a name to the court if he had any to
make, and that for this reason and
the fact that he had not been able to
consult with the man he thought of
appointing, he would not make the
appointment today. He will probably
do so on Wednesday next.

POOR PREACHING.

Tae Providence Journal thinks tina,
poor preaching Is one Of the great
causes OF modern religious indifference.
The Journal points out that many
preachers denounce where they should
encourage, sneer where they should
soothe, plant fear instead OF hope In the
hearts Of the timld, or are scornfll
whore they should be infinitely patient.
Many preachers have no other aim IN
life than 10 do good TO their fellows

but undo IN the pulpit all they ac.

English" "disioin,ed arguments %

against this the journal proposes,
