ASSAULT ON
AN AGED MAN.
Crowd on Smith and Rector
Streets Knocked Down Pedes-
trian Saturday Night.
MONEY SCATTERED

Saturday night about II. 30 an elder
ly man was purposely knocked down
and seriously hurt at Smith and Rec
tor streets. The man was knocked
down upon the sidewalk and had to
be helped up by witnesses. Money
belonging to the old man went flying
all over the sidewalk and reports OF
the trouble led to rumors of another
hold-up like the recent occurrence on
Fayette street.
According to those who saw the
affair it was a disgraceful breach OF
the peace of the city. When Police
ssLong appeared on the scene and
ted away with one of the crowd
VINO loaf in that vicinity, it was
Thought he was under arrest but there
Ara no reports at police headquarters
about the matter.
When the old man fell the crowd
seemed to think it was great joke
aud his money went rolling in every
= d..ection. Those who saw the assault
are highly indignant over the affair.

Trouble is Anticipated at the
Railroad DraWhridge Man
Said to be Watching.
JUST BEEN REPAIRED
Railroad may soon be Called Upon to FIJI
In Again - Longshoreman Tells His
0pinion-Sand Being Carried Away
Little at a Time-May 90 all at Once
When Started.

Unless all signs fail, the New York
and Long Branch Railroad will soon
be at work again on this end of the
drawbridge over the Raritan river.
The sand which was used to cover the
stones to fill in the trestle work is be-
i ing gradually washed away from he
meath and it is thought by some that
sand between the ties will drop at
once one of these days.
During the heavy rains of the last
few DAYS the tide has been very strong
and it has washed into the foundation
carrying away the sand and spreading
it on the adjacent beach. Thus far
no trouble has been experienced by
trains. but it is said that at the present
rate, it will not take many weeks be-
fore the bridge will need more re-
pairs.
1t is said that the railroad company
keeps man stationed near the bridge
every night to be on the watch for
danger for it is believed that when
the sand does cave, it will go down
|all at once. A longshoreman, who
frequents that part of the water front
in talking to News reporter said:
"It is just as expected and / told
a number of people so when the rail
road was putting that sand there. AS
soon as the tide comes in good and
strong away will go the sand with a
rush. For the last few days I have
been noticing it getting away little
by little, it is such a small amount
that one can hardly notice it but it is
a starter for the grand rush which
will come very soon,"

it was found that he was not on the

Mr.. GARRETSON
is NON UNION.
Started to Dig Trench at Libra
ry this Morning and Nearly
Caused Strike.
ASKED FOR HIS CARD

S. G. Garretson is telling good
story on himself this morning con-
cerning an incident of how he nearly
caused a strike on the new library
building.
A gang of laborers were put to work
digging the much needed sewer to
drain the cellar of the new library
this morning, when Mr.. Garretson,
who probably takes as much active
interest in the library as any one else.
came along and started to help the
good work along. Seeing little
puddle of water that was in the way,
which could easily be drained off, he
picked up a shovel and started to dig
% little gutter. The men, taken COM
p,etely by !, surprise, stopped and
watched the secretary and treasurer
when finally one of them mustered
enough courage to ask him for his
union card. Mr.. Garretson admitted
he had none.
"Well, we are in the union and if
you don't stop we will," said the
men.
Very we'll, :" said Mr.. Garretson,
you can have the job and you are
welcome to it. I"
Mr.. Garretson then walked away
happy to leave them alone.

WHILE MINISTER'S
PREACHED, BOAT
RACE WAS HELD.
Local Pastors Preached Sunday Observance yesterday ana the
Danish Sociabe c. Held their Famous Row Boat Rdce to
the Lighthouse and BdckWen to Water Front BY Inherent
Routes-- Prizes AwGrded

While the local pastors were preach
ing to their congregations OF the
observance of the Sabbath yesterday
morning, the much talked about boat
race of the Danish Sociable A. O..
was being held along the water front
The members of the club left their
club house on Park avenue at lO
O'clock and every two members OF the
club took different routes to Van
Pelt's club house on Front street.
When they were all present timekeep-
er J. S. Hansen started them off. In
each boat there was but one man.
The course was out to the lighthouse
and back. At H. 15 they started and
they worked hard. Tunis Tunison
was the first one to finish, his time
being just 38 minutes and seconds.
He was awarded the first prize. a
clock, beautifully decorated with
marine designs. HI. z. Hansen, the
Danish champion wrestler, won the
second prize, fob watch chain with
a gold locket in which was set small
diamond. His time was S8 minutes.
The third man was Hans Svarer. He
got no prize, his time being A min
utes.
The crowd had the most fun with
Marinus Stocked, who, when he had
gotten out to the lighthouse, had SO
many blisters on his hands that a
launch had to tow him back to the
club house.
AS he was the last man to get in he
was given the BOBBY prize, a cake OF
soap, as one Of the club members put
it, to wash his blistered hands.
After the race the members all went
back to their club house where dinner
was served. After dinner, speeches
were made by J. K. Jensen, J. s.
Hanson and H. P. Hansen.

POLICE BELIEVED
TO HAVE SEIZED
MORE OF THE LOOT.
Mysterious Boxes Carried Into Headquarters BY PhcemanCome
from Direction of the Water Front-BeEeved Be Part Of
Stolen Goods in Possession of the Gang Lining in Front Street
House--Pohce will not Talk for Publication

Four large boxes, said to contain
more loot, part Of the same which
the police recovered from the old
Front street house some time ago,
was taken to police headquarters yes
terday afternoon. The recovery Of
the boxes is completely surrounded in
mystery for the officers refuse to tel
what is in the boxes or from what
place they got them.
Many people witnessed the moving
of the boxes as they were taken into
police headquarters, but to all inquir-
ing ones they failed to satisfy their
curiosity by telling where they got
them from. In an interview with
Chief Burke an effort was made to
discover what part the four mysterious
boxes had to do with the recent re-
covery of the $4,000 worth Of stolen
goods, when he said:
II must refuse to tell anything
about these boxes for the present -
1t is known, however, that the boxes
came from the water front and 1t is
quite likely that they were taken from
some boat.
In talking about the recovery Of the
first lot Chief Burke said only this
morning ne had received letter from
a woman in Connecticut inquiring Ii
he had recovered some> other things
that had been stolen. ,ANgreat many
articles have been recovered returned
to the rightful owners and ofscers IN

but the Connecticut officers have thus
far failed to do anything.

OBSERVANCE
OF SUNDAY.
Local Pastors Preached on thai
Subject Yesterday Morning
Facts Brought out.
NATIONS CORNERSTONE.

According to the agreement reached
at the recent meeting of the Ministers
Alliance. the pastors preached on the
subject of Sabbath observance in their
various churches yesterday. The con
gregations were not large owing to
the threatening weather but the words
spoken were very earnest and were
full of meaning.
The ministers dwelt on the fact that
man not only needed the day for wor-
ship and that his thoughts might
dwell on more heavenly things. but
that he needed the day for rest and q
change of occupation that his physical
being might be kept up.
1t was pointed out that the founders
of this nation were strict observers OF
the Sabbath and that the American
Sabbath was one of the foundations oi
this government and one of the reasons
this land was made so attractive, yet,
it was declared, some of those who
come here wish to bring their institu.
tions with them and are gradually
undermining the sabbath day.
1t was explained how the observance
of the seventh day was changed to the
first day of the week. The change
was made, it was said, as memorial
to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
All the pastors, before commencing
their sermons, made it clear that they
were not directing their remarks to
any one person or organization, but
to all.
