Mr.. HENRY
WILL STICK.
Says Hints have Been Thrown
in His Way, but he Will Stay
to the End.
EVERYBODY is QUIET
The Heat of the Excitement is Less Now and
Men are Refusing to DisCu the Sub
jeCt-Some Think it is all 0ver-Hinted
that Work for independent Moyes ent
Being done on the Quiet.

Politics are still simmering along
although they have lost their excite
ment which followed the Democratic
convention last Saturday. There are
less rumors floating about and those
who have the matters in charge are
not saying much. So far as could be
learned those who have the petition
for an independent ticket have not
gotten it out yet or else it is being
worked very much on the quiet.
Concerning the movement to get
Mr.. Henry to step off of the Republic
an ticket there is nothing doing, as ii
was put to News reporter this morn
ing. 1t seems both regularly nominal
ed candidates will stick it out.
When Mr.. Henry was seen by a
News reporter this morning, in re-
CARDS to the matter, he said that he
positively would remain on the ticket,
and would not withdraw for any
reason whatever. Mr.. Henry said it
had been limited to him that he step
aside for the interest of the party, but
had not been asked officially to with
draw. To those who have suggested
the idea the reply has been the same.

PLANT HELD UP.
Inability to Send Telegraph Message Cause
Delay at Cable Works.

The Standard Underground Gable
Works was greatly inconvenienced be-
cause of lack of telegraph accommo-
dations in this city yesterday. A part
of their plant went out of commission
suddenly and 1t was necessary to get
word through to Pittsburg at once.
A messenger fastened to the local
offices of both telegraph companies,
reaching them few minutes after IL
O'Clock and found both locked up
1t was in the testing room at the
cable works where the accident
occurred. AS it is absolutely neces-
sary to have every cable tested before
it leaves the factory, the plant was,
in a certain sense, tied up. The
officials of the cable works were some
what put out about the matter. No
blame is placed upon the local oper-
ators, but it is thought the companies
are neglecting the place.

PROSPERITY
is AT HAND.
Factories Working Overtime
When a Short Time Ago
They Were Slack.
BUSINESS MORE FIRM.
Men Declare that Samuel Gompers o.
American Federation of Labor Has Ac-
C0mplished Great Deal for the Settle
ment of Troubles in New York-Build-
ing Trades Active.

Business Is picking up all along the
line in Perth Amboy. The factories
which were slack of work because of
the labor troubles, ate being rushed
and the building trades In this city
have more work than they can handle.
In reply to reporter s question as to
the cause of this rush it was said that
Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, had
put check to Sam Parks high step
ping in New York and business there
had taken brace as a result.
Perth Anboy, along with many
other cities, has felt the weight of
Parks hand, for in nearly every
modern building, brldgemen or
housesmiths are employed. The people
who wanted houses and places of busi-
ness built, have waited long time
for Gomper's answer and now tnev
are happy, and orders will soon be
coming in fast. At the Standard,

Gotta works, this week, things have
been rushed to such an extent that
many of the men were compelled to
work until late at night. Men seem
now to be in demand everywhere.
Yesterday boss painter was in town
looking for men of that trade, but the
painters have so much to do here, a
local boss told News reporter, that
it was hard to get enough painters to
supply the demand in this city.
"We have advertised in the New
York papers, he said, "but in the
last week work seems to be such that
it is impossible for us to get any help.
The same complaint is made by the
boss masons and carpenters. All of
the local union men claim that this
will be the most prosperous season
this city has seen in a long time.

BOLD ATTACK AND
HIGHWAY ROBBERY
ON MAURER ROAD.
Young Man Badly Usedby Gang of veMoney and Watch and
Chain 7aken-Was Representative of Paint firm of Pa-
deph,a and had Been Collecting in this Ncmiy-Asked the
Price of q Drink

A. f. Stubbs, an agent for Phlla-
delphia paint firm, came to town last
night to report being held up and
robbed at Maurer. He had been to
several factories in that vicinity and
had collected about $50. After spend
ing some time at Loeser's saloon, he
started for the trolley.
On his way to get the trolley, he
says, he was approached by five young
men who demanded the price OF a
drink. Being refused, one struck
Stubbs in the eye, knocking him
down, and the rest kicked and punch
ed him IN state of semi conscious
ness. He was then stood upon his
feet and punched and kicked again.
Then the ruffians took his watch and
chain and charm valued at about $50.
Mr.. Stubbs is not certain as to the
amount of money taken, as he does
not know the exact amount collected
and what he spent, but thinks it a
large amount.
The watch chain was bought at
Galveston, Texas, just before the
flood, and was much valued by the
owner. Mr.. Stubbs was badly beaten,
one eye is bloodshot. After the
assault he went to grocery store and
asked to be cared for, but was put
out. Later he recovered enough to
come here and make complaint.
Detective Huff is investigating.

MUSIC
HAVE CHARMS?
Question was putin Police Court
this Morning Rice Accused
of Shooting at Schroeder.
CASE is DISMISSED.

Music hath it's charms, but when it
comes from an harmonica and that
very often, it's charm is very apt to
have anything but a soothing effect.
So said Mr.. Frank Rice in court this
morning, whittier he had been taken
to answer a charge of shooting a gun
at the musician.
William Schroeder was the complain
ant. He.claims Rice fired three shots
at him. Both men live in the same
house but are not on amlcable terms.
When Mr.. Rice, who is retired mer-
chant, came to court this morning, he
created much interest by his appear
ance. White haired, frock coated and
soldierlv of bearing, he made an i'm
preston when he told his story
He SAYS the landlady wants him to
move and is unable to compel him TO
do so because his rent is paid. He
claims Schroeder was party to con-
spiracy to drive him out through the
use of "notes Of linked sweetness long
drawn out" through mouth organ.
The old gentleman stood the "noise" "
rs long as possible, then, he said,
since the musical Schroeder wanted
noise he repaired to his room, and
cutting the bullets off some cartridges,
loaded his revolver and returned to
the stairs where the mouth organ was
going at rapid rate, producing a
popular tune. Here Mr.. Rice came in
with an unmusical but very effective
accompaniment, for the player, hear
ing the shots of the revolver, gathered
himself and fed.
Mr.. Rice said he shot into the floor
and only for the purpose of putting
an end to that which was slowly but
surely driving him mad
The recorder dismissed the case
after advising the two to settle similar
trouble IN the future by less danger
GUS means.
