Railway ns,e. In Porto Rico.

A short line Is in operation between
Yauco and Ponce, n distance Of 90 miles,
with two stations on the line at Quay

an average annual income OF 81. 200 per

freight rates Of the on carts are not
much lower than those OF the railway,
and the speed about the same. Besides
this excessive charge, the railway does

TWO
EXPRESSES.

Big improvements are noted in the
new Staten Island Rapid Transit
schedule which goes into effect today.
The company, in order to better
accommodate Perth Amboy passengers
has put on two express trains in the
morning. The one which has always
been on, leaves here at 7.37, and the
new one leaves at SOB. This is to
accommodate the shoppers. Another
feature is a train leaving here at 10. 05
which cuts ont some of the stops be-
tween here and st. George and will
land passengers in New York in one
hour and five minutes. The local
agent, B. M. Cannon, has been work
ing for ONE time to get these i'm
provements made. They are bound to
be popular.

SNEAK THIEF HAS
BEEN BROUGHT HERE.
Fellow Accused of Petty Larceny
in this City-BOy Unidentified
Him.

A man giving the name Christian
P. Sorenson, of Brooklyn, was arraign-
ed before Recorder Pickersgill this
morning OH a charge of petty larceny,
being accused of stealing a watch,
This is only one of many robberies it
is believed he a committed here.
When Sorenson was asked what he
had to say, he replied that he wanted
to get a lawyer. The recorder told
him that if he did not have bail he
would send him to New Brunswick to
await the action of the grand jury.
The man secured the services of Joseph
Stricken, however, and he is still con-
fined here.
Sorenson is the fellow who was
captured in Plainfield a few days ago
in a private house by two colored
servants. While one of the servants
held the fellow the other went out to
look for a policeman and Mayor
Smalley, who was passing by, took
charge of the man, who refused to
answer all questions about himself,
and his description was then publish
ed in all of the newspapers.
Chief of Police Burke, who was
reading an account of the fellow,
thought that the description answer
ed closely the man he was looking
for, charged with entering the home
of Mrs. Booth, of High street, but
who in reality is charged with all of
the sneak thief robberies that have
occurred in this city. The chief
wired for a description of Sorenson,
and when he received it he asked that
the fellow be held.
Mrs. Booth and her son went to
PlainfieId where they identified the
fellow who had entered the house and
stolen a watch.
Sorenson was brought to this city
by Detective John Huff. He looks to
be a very intellectual fellow. The
chief Will charge him with all the
petty robberies here.
Arthur Booth, the son of Mrs.
Booth, picked Sorenson out of a crowd
of eleven men, as the fellow who had
entered their house. Chief Burke
says he has difficulty in getting people
come forward to make complaints
against the man.

At 40 O'Clock Saturday afternoon
many people, on Smith street, had a
narrow escape from being injured by
a runaway horse which dashed wildly
toward the sound and was stopped at
the Staten Island ferry.
The horse and wagon, which be-
longed to a butcher, was left at Smith
and Hobart streets, while the driver
went into a nearby house. A passing
trolley Car frightened the animal and
he started off. The wagon was badly

Repairs Here.

Now that the storm has passed Portl
Amboy, like all the other cities, is
recovering from the flood. While
almost every other city in the State
reports severe damages, Perth Ambos
got off very lucky, but the damage
was enough.
All day Saturday and yesterday the
Central Railroad kent an engine and
one car running back and forth be-
tween this place and South Amboy
over the drawbridge, so as to keep the
bridge as firm as possible. While
most of the sand was washed away
and the old huIks badly battered, the
bridge itself is all right and although
it trembles considerably when a train
passes over it, this can soon be fixed.
Yesterday when the tide was at its
highest, the p of the d~rawbridge,
when it was opened, just touched the
| water and it was then impossible for
sailing crafts to get through.
At the new Raritan river draw
bridge, and the docks of the Cheese
borough Vaselire and Raritan Copper
Works, considerable damage vas done
by the high tide. The people who
wanted to go to keasbey by wagon,
found it impossible. L. B. Moore,
the local newsdealer, could not deliver
his Sunday papers because the bridges
were all down in that vicinity.
The contractor who is doing the
work ON the Trust Company building,
had a gang of laborers at work this
morning cleaning up the damage
caused by the falling down of the east
wall of the new foundation. The cost
will not amount to more than $75 and
it is said there is plenty of time for
the Passaic Steel Works, from which
place the steel comes for the build
ings, are flooded at that place and it
will be a few weeks before they IA
be started again.
A number of local people went to
Easton and Paterson Yesterday and,
although the water had receded con
side1ably, in some places, it was fully
six feet deep. Bridges have been
carried away along the Delaware and
other railroads are using the Lehigh
Valleys structure.
On Staten Island the people have
water everywhere but hardly any to
drink, for most all of the cisterns
were flooded by the high tides. The
lower part of Tottenville got some OF
it too, but the most part escaped.
South Amboy was in luck; as very
little damage was done there. Base
ments that had been built over springs,
had lots of water in them and a few
that had no springs in them also re-
ceived their share of water, but that
with the rain coming through the
roofs and walls of most houses, appears
to be all the trouble caused in that
place, as near as has been learned so
far.
All of the men of Browns gang,

NO POSTS OR CHAINS
ABOUT PUBLIC PARKS
Colonel SymonS Orders Removal
in Interest of Beauty.

Washington parks are to receive the
attention of Colonel Symons, superinten-
dent of Public Buildings and Grounds. to
an extent which promises much toward
identifying the city. Iron posts and
chains, which have bordered these parks,
are to be removed, and stone curbing
placed in their stead.
Colonel Symons is of the opinion that
the posts and chains detract materially
from the beauty of public reservations
and also permit the dirt and grass "a
litter the sidewalks. He has, therefore
concluded to put stone cuEbing around
all public parks.
Dupont, Scott, and Iowa Circles and
Farragut Square have been improved IN
this manner, and Lincoln Park will b'
similarly treated within a short time.
