Wreck at Old Bridge to Have Been Caused
by Defective Track.

The wreck that occurred at Old
Bridge between II and IL O'Clock
Thursday night, was caused, it is
thought by those who are doing tho
repairing, by a broken fiange on one
of the wheels of o coal car. The rails
were torn up and twisted in all kinds
of shapes. Five cars, two iron and
three wooden, were smashed and soft
coal dumped in piles all over.
Two wrecking crews and trains were
called out, one from Jersey City and
one from this borough. The Jersey
City crew had a snap MS regards eat
ables and turntables as they carry all
the paraphernaiia in the way of cook
ing utensi' and also food with them.

take what they could scratch up

at the others. They left this borough
Friday morning at 1 a. NJ and got

WILL CONGRESS ADJouRNd
Failure to Close Before Monday

Failure to Close Before Monday
Means All Nominations Fail.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Unless there
is an agreement by both houses of CON
gress TO adjourn the present session be-
fore noon Monday, when the regular
session begins, all nominations must
fall. and if the present special session
ends by limitation, thus preventing the
president from sending recess appoint
ments to the senate, all pending recess
appointments must terminate~with the
converting of congress in its regular s6-
sion. These considerations Furnished
the incentive for a number of confer
enoes looking to an agreement to adj
journ on Monday or even today in or
der TO permit the president to send in
recess appointments.
Friends of General Wood are vitality
interested and will try to bring about
adjournment by concurrent action. Fall
ure of action would mean General
Woods reversion to the rank of briga-
der general and have similar effect on
the appointments of 16T army officers
advanced by reason-of General Woods
promotion, all of whom have assumed
the ranks and pay of their new appoint,
ments in the same manner as though
their nominations had been confirmed
by the senate.
One reason given by the leaders of
the house for not passing a resolution
of adjournment was that it would be a
~discourtesy TO the president TO adjourn
n called session without completing the
work for which it was convened. Mem
bers of the senate say they were really
to adjourn ten days ago. and a resolu-
ton of adjournment probably would
have been sent to the house if il had,
not been reported and not Aess+ed that
the house would not give Consideration
to a resolution CT adjournment.
