Hungarian LabOrer was Knocked
Against Iron Side of Steam
ship at Asphalt Works.
OTHERS QUIT WORK.
Fellow Laborers Refuse to Enter Hold
After the Accident Daylight Renewed
their Courage However and Unloading
is Resumed Heavy Iron Bucket Be-
came UNLOCKED.

Andrew Shutsky, a Hungarian labor
er at the Barber Asphalt Works, was
killed at 230 o'clock this morning
while at work on the big steamer
Theresa, which is unloading asphalt
at the pant. He was struck across
the back with one of the iron buckets
which had broken from the hooks.
The laborer was knocked down and
his head struck the iron side of the
steamship, fracturing his skull He
died within fifteen minutes.
All night Shutsky, with a number
of other laborers, had been at work in
the hold of the vessel, trying to get
the cargo out in record time. The
hold of the boat is divided into two
parts to keep the cargo from shifting,
for, when 1t is loaded at the South
American port, it is almost a liquid.
In sending the big iron bucket down
to be filed, this morning, the engi-
neer let it go too fast and 1t struck
the partition. In this wav the bucket
was unlocked and fell into the hold
below. The alarm was given by those
on deck and all got out of the way but
Shutsky, who was directly beneath
the bucket.
When the rest of the Hungarians
found that their fellow workman had
been killed, thew cried like children.
and refused to enter the steamship
again. Others who were brought
down to work, when told what had
happened, also refused to go below.
For some time it looked as if it would
be impossible to get the boat unload
ed, but daylight seemed to give the
men courage. and the work was re-
sumed.

WOmsn's Christian Temperance
Union Listen to Interesting
Address and Adjourn.
AFTERNOON MEETING.
Sixty-one Delegates wers Present and
all Spoke with Enthusiasm of tho Work
D0ne-Women of Local Branch Re-
ceive Much Praise for Manner in which
they Entertained.

Large attendance was the feature of
the county convention of the Woman s
Christian Temperance Union, which
was held in Simpson M. E. church
yesterday. The afternoon meeting
was unusually interesting and at night
many people turned out to hear the
address by Rev. E. A. Boom, of
Warren County. There were about
sixty one delegates in all.
In the afternoon the program con-
sisted of reading, music and the re-
ports of the county superintendent.
These reports were extremely interest
ing. There were remarks by the State
president and reports of the various
committees. Two Perth Amboy ladies
were appointed. They were Mrs. F.
Harrington, Superintendent of Parlor
Meetings, and Mrs. W. Woglom, super
intendent of Foreign Works.
Last night E. A. Boom gave an
address on the progress of temperance
work in the country. His remarks
were we'll appreciated. While not in
clined to attack any special persons
particular the whole trend of his talk
was to impress the public on the
necessity of killing the liquor trade.
He talked for some time on a Bible
text, "Woe unto them that are might
to drink wine and unto men of strength
that mingle strong drink.
He spoke not only against the one
who drinks; but the seller and those
who promote the consumption of in
toxicants. He advised the people to
get at the root Of the evil the pro-
ducer, and also cited examples of the
effects of alcohol in this and foreign
countries.

Boy Tried to Board Train on
Central Railroad near
Hall Avenue.
DOCTOR WAS NEAR.
Taken to Central Station on Engine Where
Raritan Copper Works Ambulance was
Waiting-Hurried to Hospital Opera
tion to be Performed but Recovery is
Doubtful.

Thomas Huseyot, thirteen years old,
of 80 Charles street, is in the Perth
Amboy City Hospital with his right
leg so badly mangled that it had to
be amputated close to the hip. The
boy was run over by a Central Rail
road engine at the Hall avenue cross
ing this morning. About the time
the accident happened Dr. Ramsay
was driving through Hall avenue
when number of people ran from
the direction of the Central Railroad
and told him that boy had been hit
by passing train. The doctor was
soon on the scene and found that the
right leg Just below the hip was hang
ing by shreds. To save the BOYS life,
it was necessary to get him to the
hospital at once. The local scoot was
held up and the boy put aboard and
brought to the Central Railroad
station, where the Raritan Cooper
Works ambulance was waiting, some
one having telephoned to have 1t ready
at the station. The boy was uncon-
scious. He was put in the ambulance
and hurried to the hospital where an
operation was performed. Whether
he will pull through or not cannot be
said.

Washington Street improvement
Will not be Started this
Fall.
COLD WEATHER NEAR.
Work would have to be Advertised for
Thirty Days and by the Time Material
is on the Ground it Would be too Late
to Complete W0rk-WiII Make Pre-
parati0ns.

1t is understood that no attempt
will be made to get Washington street
paved this fall. The aldermen have
considered the matter and have
thought it best to delay the work until
spring In the meantime the contract
will be given out and everything
maze ready to start the work as soon
as the spring thaws are over.
1t is pointed out that before the
work can be started it must be adverl
tlsed for thirty days and this will
tax e until the first of November and
then it would take two or three weeks
to get the material on the ground bv
which time the ground would be
frozen and work would have to stop.
Then the street would be in a worse
state than ever.
There has been quite a time over
the paving of this thoroughtare. 1t
has been long fight and after the
names on the remonstrance against
the Improvement was weeded out, it
was found a majority waited the
work done. The fact that it will not
be started until next spring will be
disappointing to great many 10 the
condition of the street in winter
well known. The mud, sometimes is
hub deep and wagons pass with diff
Guilty. When the street is paved the
Improvement will extend from the
sound to New Brunswick avenue, ne-
ing the only street paved its
length in the city.

Order are EndeavOring to Secure
Site for Erection of a Mod
ern Home.
THREE STORIES HIGH.
Building will be Complete in Every Partic-
uIar and will Contain Store, Bowling
Alleys, Plunge, Billiard Parlor and
Lodge Room Other Organization will
Meet there.

1t is now an established fact that
the Elks are to have new home in
this city The order has decided to
put up modern club house with all
necessary appliances. The building
proposed will be three stories in
height. The front of the first floor
will be rented for store. In the rear
will be gymnasium, bowling alleys
and bath and plunge. On the sec
ond floor will be reception room and
parlor The third floor will be used
for a lodge room. 1t is not probable
that any other organization will have
an opportunity to rent rooms for lodge
purposes in the building as there is a
general desire on the part of the Elks
to have their own building exclusive
ly for their own use.
At first some members wanted a
club house on one of the side streets,
but this plan was rejected as build
ing on one of the side streets would
not be we'll adapted to store purposes
and could therefore be used only as a
club house and be of no use as a
source of revenue, the idea of renting
the ground floor to dealer being one
of the original inten tions.
The order has considered several
sites. One is the property belong
ing to Pratt. Brown Company, at S6
Smith street, now occupied by Peder
Oleson and barber shop. This has a
frontage of folty-five feet and would
be suitable for "a long narrow build
ing, which is the kind most approved.
1t is not thought this site will be
chosen, however.
Another proposition was to purchase
lot in Smith near Madison avenue.
An effort made to see Lawyer Joseph
E. Stricken, chairman of the commit
tee, appointed to take charge of the
securing building, was not success.
full this morning as he is attending
court in New Brunswick. The pre-
vailence of strikes is said to have
caused delay in pushing the matter,
but it is now promised that as soon as
the site is obtained, plans for the
building will be drawn and it will be
erected at once.

In driving one of the new wells at
Runyon. Tuesday, the contractor
struck a bed of rock, about ninety
feet below the surface. This is the
first rock to be found in the vicinity
and it caused some surprise. This is
the ninth we'll to be driven there and
another one is yet to go down.
Yesterday the contractor was drill
ing through the rock hoping that it
was not very thick. This well is
about 100 feet from the nearest one to
it and in none of the others has rock
been found. 1t is evident that this
we'll is we'll on the edge.
Eight wells have thus far been
driven, but only seven have. as yet,
been connected with the main that
supplies this city. The piping gave

driven two years ago. 1t will not be
long before the city Will have an ex-

This morning the drill passed
through the rock and water began to
flow. At noon there was an excellent
supply on hand.
The work of repairing the roof of
the pumping station has Just been
, completed. A new slate roof had just
been completed q short time before

NO MASONS
To DO WORK.
New Building for Trust Company
is Delayed for Lack Of
Men.

/ Work on the new Perth Ambov
Trust Company's building, which is
being erected at Smith and Hobart
streets, is tied up today because of the
inability of the contractor to get the
masons to do the work. When the
foundation for the walls was first
started, the foreman for the contract
or, was able to secure only two masons
in this city. They worked up until
last night when they left because they
secured steady places with local con-
tractors.
The contractor is now trying to Sc
cure masons in Paterson or Newark
and hopes to be able to resume work
again tomorrow morning. The help
ers have been laid off until something
can be done about the matter. A
union man, in conversation with a
News reporter, this morning, said:
"At the present time there is more
work for the masons in Perth Amboy
than they can do, and as they have a
chance of working with a local con-
tractor steady for all the winter
months, am not surprised that the
contractor on the Trust Company s
building could not get men, as thev
would only have work until the build
ing is completed.
Ihe report was circulated about
town that there was a strike at the
place, but this was denied by the man
in charge, and also by the mason
helnars

CLOWN WRESTLING.
BY ]. c. BEARD.

The centric star of circus whose
droll sayings convulse the people with
laughter and whose marvellous feats
of daring, although they may be
cloaked in the guise of buffoonery, are
always met with a storm of applause,
is so unusual in all that he does. so
given to doing ordinary things in an
extraordinary way. that it is only
natural to suppose his wrestling is
unlike the catch-as-catch-can style of
the everyday athlete.
The value of an athletic sport does
not depend upon it's roughness.
Because it is less rough there is
not necessarily less fun in much of
the more gentle sport In ordinary
wrestling many holds" are used each

the terrible strong hold" and the

No. 5-WILLIAM CAMBRIDGE,
BY H. IRVING KING

Among the heroes of the American
navy whose valiant deeds and high
character are constant inspiration to
the eailor boys of to-day, William
cambridge occupies a place in the first
rank.
He distinguished himself in three
wars and. dying, left behind him rep
utation for valor, uprightness, truth
and probity.
cambridge was, in a way, as remark
able boy as he was a man. He went
to sea when he was 10 and at 10 he
was full fiedged captain in the mer-
chant service, having worked his way
up to that position by sheer ability
and force of character.
Few times in this world has a boy
of nineteen found himself a captain
of a big ship; but cambridge was
equal to the position.
Young cambridge first went to sea
as an apprentice boy. He lived for
ward with the. sailors and did a sail
or's work. but in addition he had to
study certain hours every day and to
learn mathematics and navigation
His seamanship was being taught him
all the time.
Many merchant captains took ap-
prentices to sea with them in those
days who learned to be officers in
the hard but practical school of the
forecastle. They were not usually
made officers until they were of age
some of them were never able to
get a berth aft.
But when cambridge had been for

tain of which desired to board the
American vessel and impress into the
British navy such sailors as he took
d fancy to-a little habit the English
had in those days, and which finally
brought on the War of 1872.
The Hope was armed with four
nine-ponders, had plenty of muskets
on board and cambridge had drilled
the men in target practice since he
had been in command, in anticipation
of just such an occurrence.
He refused to heave to at the COM
mand of the British vessel and a shot
was fired at her which passed through
the deckhouse
Instantly cambridge let go with
his doubled-sbotted guns and after two
broadsides the British captain sang
out that he had surrendered
There being peace nominally be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States at that time cambridge did not
, take possession of the English vessel,
but after inquiring what ship she was
and receiving the reply, His Males

Captain Sir Philip Townes," he sang
out, Will Captain Sir Philip Townes
please go about his business and re-
port to his master that if he wants
this ship he must send a greater force
or more skilled commander" Then
he sailed away for home.
cambridge could now no longer be
considered as boy captain, though
still extremely youthful for important
| command, and the other adventures,
triumphs and defeats which marked
his most active and useful career are
matters of history. He entered the
navy and found himself in command
of gunboat at the age of twenty
three.
