Rain Stops the Game Today
With Philadelphia PrOfes-
SiOnaIS.
MARIONS STRONGER

No game will be played today by
the Marions owing to the rain. This
is the second successive Saturday that
the weather has disappointed the fans
and on that account the management
OF the Marions have decided to play a
mid week game. Next Tuesday the To-
Gals will have as opponents the fa-
nous Orange Athletic Club team. The
game will not be called until nearly
O'Clock in order that everyone may be
given a chance to see the contest.
Several of the store keepers have been
seen and they have agreed to close
their places of business at five instead
of six O'Clock, the usual hour of
closing.
The locals will be especially
strengthened and will present the
fastest team ever seen in this city to
battle with Manager Mills stars.
More will be said of the game on

Strikers Held Mass Meeting

Some Were Noticed Standing at the Gates
Of Other Plants To-day and Few Got
Work-All Of Them Expect to be at
Work Somewhere by Msnday- Ostrand-
ers will Soon Have More Men.

Everything is quiet today at the
plant of the Ostrander Fire Brick
Works at Keasbey, where all the en-
rloyes are ont on strike. Last night
after the meeting of the strikers and
their friends, which was held at
Keasbey, the deputies had an idea
that the strikers would make another
midnight attack, but not a man came
near the works all night.
This morning many of the strikers
we're seen standing outside many of
the local factories waiting for work.
1t is said that at the meeting of the
strikers last night that they decided
not to 90 near the factory any more,
bat to leave the place entirely, hoping
to cripple the plant.
The officials will try to get enough
men to operate the plant on Monday.
The deputies are still on guard. Near
ly all of the men have their money
now and some are working in other
places.

TWO GLASSES
IN BOAT RACE.
Committee Decided to Put Thirty
FOOterS in Glass by
Themselves.
AN EQUAL CONTEST

The power boat race committee an
nounced this morning that it has been
decided to divide the boats into two
classes for the race on August l. All
thirty foot boats or over will be put
in d class by themselves.
This action has been decided upon
after getting, the opinion of a majority
of boat ers.hereabouts. The feel
ing seems to be that several thirty
footers which are owned here, are
built especially for racing, while the
smaller crafts are more for pleasure
and even if they are handicapped con-
ditions favor the big boats for speed.
While many boat owners have entered
the race for the sake of the sport, q
great many refuse to go in and some
of those who have already signed
think they have no chance of winning
when the thirty -footers are against
them.
The decision to have two classes
and leave the smaller, pleasure crafts
to have it out by themselves is popu-
lar and many more entries will be
received. The larger boats will make
an interesting race by themselves.

THIS SIGNAL DID
NOT, FLASH WHITE.
Stone had been Weged Derang Swh at Crossnq of Leob
Valley and Central Railroads Last Hight and Automatic SgaaI
Held Red Bringing. Trans to StandshM

An automatic signal at the crossing
Of the Lehigh Valley and Central
railroads in this city, saved the Gen.
tral train due here at z. 30 p. m. from
serious accident last night. Derail-
ing switches are in use there and un-
less the switch is closed red light
shows. This was the case Last night
and upon investigation it was found
that big stone had been placed in
the switch.
The train was made up of six coach
es, all well filed with passengers.
As the engineer approached the cross-
ing he saw the red, but, as lie the
custom with these automatic signals
on derailing switches, they soon fash
white and the engineer expected this
one to do the same. When he found
it did not, he quickly stopped his
train and went up to the tower to find
out the trouble. He found the tower
man tugging and pulling at the lever.
trying to throw the switch in place,
but this was impossible.
Together they went to the switch
and there found that large stone had
been placed between the rail in such
a way that the switch could not be
thrown. They next got a hammer,
and, after considerable time. removed
the stone. The switch was then
thrown and the train proceeded.
1t is thought that some boys. who
play in that neighborhood, put the
stone in between the rails for fun.
If it had been an express instead Of
a local train that was coming through,
and the engineer had gone right
ahead expecting the white to fash,
bad wreck would have resulted.

WILL PETITION FOR
BRIDGE APPROACH.
Morqon Representnq the Chamber of Commerce. Attended
Meeting Committees of Board of Aldermen Last Night and
Had Matter Explained to HIM.

S. B. Morgan, chairman of the
Municipal Committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, appeared before the
aldermen at the meeting of the COM
mittees last night and offered the
assistance of the Chamber of Com
merce in getting work started on the
new bridge approach. AS was point
ed.out in the News, the aldermen told
Mr.. Morgan that they were waiting
for citizens to petition their body be-
fore they felt they could take any
action. Mr.. Morgan promised to start
a petition and, if possible, have it for
the aldermen to act upon Monday
night.
City Attorney Hommann was present
at the meeting and the matter was
thorouehly discussed with Mr..
Morgan. Mr.. Hommann said the al
dermen wanted the matter done legal
ly because of the Central railroad
crossing. He explained that the rail-
Toad company had agreed to send their
engineer to the site and prepare plans
for the bridge over their road which
they agreed to pay for, but thus far
they had not done SO. He explained
that while perhaps, any tax payer
could petition for the work to be
done, it would be much better If the
abutting property owners along Sheri-
and street would sign the petition.
This would have the work on the
street done in the usual way and
would avoid any confusion with the
Central railroad paying for that part
of the approach which crosses their
track
1t was further explained to Mr..
Morgan that the abutting property
owners could not be assessed for the
work, even if they did sign the petit
tion because it was in the deed that
the cost must be paid by the entire
city. Mr.. Hommann declared that If
there was any way of making the
assessment, the city woulu do 1t
whether the owners signed the petit
tion or not.
Two of the property owners along
the street are the Cheeseborougn Com
pany and J. @. Mccoy. Both are
known to be in favor of the improve
ment and Mr.. Morgan will endeavor
to get their names on petition today.

CENTRAL GO.
HAS TROUBLE.
Trolley Line and Railroad at War
Near KeypOrt- Want to Cross
Tracks.
COURT TO- DECIDE.
Wires Cut and Railroad Kept Car on Hand
Ready for Service Pile Driver was in
Use O.e Day-Trolley People Got One
Car Across but have no Power Matter
now at Standstill.

The Central Railroad company and
the Jersey Central Traction company
have had a genuine hook-up for a
week or so past over the railroad
crossing near the new power house at
Newtown near Keyport For some
time the railroad company kept a
watchman at the crossing and an
engine was left on the track at the
crossing all night recently. The trac-
tion company went ahead stringing
it's wires and putting down its tracks,
leaving the crossing alone. Every
thing was ready to run the trolley cars
as far as Lorillard s. except that the
trolley wires had not been connected
over the railroad crossing. Finally
the wires were connected, but the
railroad placed pile-driver on fiat
car and ran it up to the crossing and
severed the trolley wires.
The trolley men again went to
work, but the railroad also had a gang
of workmen on hand. Besides this
they had fiat cars. freight cars and
several engines standing near or on
the crossing and obstructinR both the
stone road and the street known as
Pig street. The trolley people attempt
ed to put up their wires, but as soon
as they did this. the railroad gang
would throw a line over the wire,
pull it down and sever it. The trolley
men had car pulled over the cross
ing by horses, the railroad people
allowing them to do this, but NOT
allowing them to complete the build
ing of the tracks across the railroad
or connect the trolley wire. Special
trains were run up and down the road
every few minutes to prevent any
work being done.
The traction company finally sue
ceeded in outwitting the railroad
people and finished the trolley con.
nections. The car which had been
pushed across the tracks the day be-
fore commenced making trips between
the crossing and Lorillard's. Chief
Engineer J. w. Smith and Arthur H.
CLARK, of the Vandegrift Construction
company, and Township Committee
man John s. Hendrickson were in the
first car which ran through to Loril-
lard s. The trolley wire was again
cut that afternoon.
The trolley people have done nothing
further in reference to the matter.
An application has been made to the
chancellor for an order restraining the
railroad from obstructing the trolley
crossing. Meanwhile the traction
company is pushing the work on the
line and it is expected that the tracks
will be completed as far as Keans-
burgh i'll week or so. The bridge at
Lorrillard's Is is approaching compile

Ancient Table Manners.

A description Of a dinner given IN

Improvement I'm table manners since
then. AS rule one knife had TO serve
for two people, and often a bowl of
soup was used by two persons. For
this reason the party giving the din
ner arranged his guests in couples, try
ing 10 place people together who would
be congcnial and not adverse 10 this
common use OF table appointments.
Spoons were seldom supplied 10 the
guests, and the soup was drunk di-
rectly from the bowl, the latter usually
having side handles by which II was
held. In less refined company there
were no separate soup bowls, only one
large porringcr, which was passed
around TO the guests I'm turn. The
diners helped themselves to the pieces
Of meat they desired from the common
dish with their fingers.
Napkins were considered q luxury.
and were only provided in very aris-
tocrntic and wealthy familIes-Phila-
