HEAVY RAIN STORM


South Amboy was visited by rain
storm Wednesday evening that com
pletely swept the streets and filled the
cutters to overfiowing, making them
for time, impossible. Those who
were caught out in the storm found it
almost impossible to get to their
homes without wading through water.
Some of the sewer basins were clogged
up so the water could not flow down
into them on account of the debris
that had washed down to them from
the streets above. Some time after
10 o CLOCK the electric lights went out
and the borough was plunged into
darkness

HELPED HIMSELF,

On the day of Pawnee Bills show
it this borough colored man, who
represented that he came from Pleas
ure Bay, walked into Mr.. Turner'S s
mems furnishing goods store and ask
ed to see some collars, he then walked
back to another counter ostensibly to
look at other goods. There were a
number of blue serge suits of clothes,
near where he stood. He asked Mr..
Turner if he had a collar 8 inches
high and Mr.. Turner, saying Eyes,
left him and went back to the collar
counter.
The man carried very large bag
and it appears that he went to Mr..
Kabosky's store also that day, and
whether he played the same game is
not known by the party who related
the story, but it is known that Mr..
Kabosky missed two or three pairs of
trousers the same day. A few days
afterwards Mr.. Turner was hunting
all over his store for two suits of
blue serge that were missing. He
did not realize the truth until after
hearing that the colored man had re-
turned to Mr.. Kabosky's last Friday
or Saturday, and on being accused by
him of stealing the trousers that were
missing, had run away, leaving the
big bag behind him in Kabosky's
store.
Yesterday Mr.. Turner missed pair
of trousers also. His loss is about $40
and he declares it will go hard with
the colored man if he ever makes his
appearance here again. The bag con-
tanned suit of underclothes only.

PAPER MILLS BURN.
Fireman Lost His Life, Being Buried
by Falling Wall.


HARTFORD, Conn, July % = The
Woodland Paper mill, Incorporated. sit
uated on the trolley lines between Hart
ford and Manchester, has been totally
destroyed by fire, and the loss is esti-
mated by Superintendent j. T. CANDY
at about $150,000
One employee. William Haskins, a
fireman, lost his life. A portion of a
brick wall of the structure fell upon
him while he was attempting to draw
the fires in the building. He tried to
accomplish his object, knowing that
the building was doomed, but thought
himself safe from immediate danger.
A fellow fireman who was with him,
after warning him of his danger, fed
just in time to escape SIMILAR fate.
Haslxins was buried beneath the ruins
of the wall, and firemen and others
worked hard to recover the body, which
was done after considerable work. The
dead fireman resided in East Hartford
and is survived by wife and five chill
dren.
The fire broke out in. the stool 7rsAsz'
and was well under way-pef5re ii was
discovered owing to the infiammable
nature of the contents. A line of hose
was put into operation. and messages
for help were sent up to Burnside. 1t
became evident in the meanwhile that
the structure would be doomed unless
a fire engine could be got on the scene,
and Hartford was communicated with.
An engine drawn by six horses was in
stantly dispatched and succeeded in
quenching the flames and saved a por-
ton of the machinery from destruc-
tion.
The mill is located on the site of the
old Hammer & Forbes Powder mills
and has been an industrial spot for
three-quarters of century.

MANcHURIAN PORTS.
Washington Is Surprised at the Ac-

Washington Is Surprised at the Ac-
tiOn of China.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Inasmuch
as the Chinese government very re-
Gently has expressed its willingness to
yield II the desires of the United
States for open ports in Manchuria, the
officials here are at a loss to under
stand the communication sent by
Prince Ching to Minister Conger re-
fusing this concession. They have re-
ceived no advices on the subject.
The Importance of the communica-
ton, if it accurately reflects the atti-
tude of the Chinese government, is full
ly realized in Washington. However,
impressed with the heretofore express
ed willingness of China to open Man
churian ports, re-enforced by the as
surances given to this government by
Russia along the same lines, the Off
cials continue firm in their belief that
the situation ultimately will be clari-
fed and the efforts of the United States
be rewarded.
In some quarters the objections
urged to the opening of ports in Prince
Ching's communication are regarded as
a mere diplomatic quibble designed
perhaps to placate Russia. No matter
what fresh obstacle may intervene our
government, firm in the conviction that
the principle of the open door in China
should be enjoyed by all nations, will
continue to exert its influence in that
direction.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. So
There have been no further disturb
ances in the Canadian 500, but the sit
nation has some elements which do not
promise long continuance Of the
present peaceful conditions In the
drst place every saloon in the town is
wide open, and most of them, especial
y in the laboring mems districts, are
being patronized heavily by the horde
Of idle men who composed yesterdays
mob.
In the second place, 1900 instead of
400 men, as first reported, have gath
cred at Wiers, numbering camp Of
the company, twelve miles up the Al
Coma Central road, and it is this body
Of men the railroad has refused TO
transport to the 500 under present
troubled conditions. OF this number
seventy-fve have walked into the 500
and the rest Of them are following.
This big accession to the ranks Of the
unemployed is looked upon as sure to
cause trouble unless the authorities
show more vigor in dealing with the
situation than they have done SO far.
Local Authorities blamed.
The third troublesome feature is the
delay in getting additional troops here.
The policy Of the local authorities in
permitting the saloons, in the west end
Of town especially, to open up, is pro.
volzing much criticism.
About O'clock the police Of the
Canadian 500 began placing under ar
rest all OF the leaders OF the riots, and
within an hour seven Of these agita-
tors were behind the bars Of the colln-
ty Jail The leader Of them Il Jack
Dean The man is not an employee Of
the Consolidated company and never
has been. but throughout the rioting
he was to be found wherever a crowd
OF the men gathered, haranguing them
and urging them on to further acts Of
violence.
The two Frenchmen wounded In the
row with the police are also charged
with aiding in arousing the rioters.
One Of these men, Beault, who re-
ceiyed a wound in the neck is found to
be more seriously injured than was at
first supposed.
Surgeons probed the wound for the
bullet, but were unsuccessful in locat-
ing It.
