A meeting OF the executive committee of the
legal committee and the engineering committee

S. c. Mead the assistant secretary of the asso-
citation. said:
The suggestions which were laid before Gov
ernor Odeil yesterday received by the Gov
ernor with a great deal of attention. 1t is our
theory that having two members of the board
representing this city, these representatives being
in constant touch with the conditions here would
result in keeping the attention of the State Board
fixed upon the conditions in greater Newly
1t is contemplated to amend the law to
give the Railroad Commissioners power 10

M4SONS TO GIVE SKIN.

Wreck PictiM.
TpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. !

Plainfeld n. j.. Feb. 1S-A notable case OF
skin grating was started at MuhlenberS HOS
pjtal last evening on Wilson S. Fredericks, OF
Dunellen who was injured in the railroad wreck
at Westfie!d on January % At that time MI
Fredericks was scalded over one-third or MS
body from his waist to the feet. and his physi-
clan gave practically no hope for his recovery.
After living In this critical condition for days. Mr.
Frredericks began to improve, and he reached
that point where 1t was believed that skin graft
ing could be successfully carried out
Mr. Fredercks is member Of Anchor Lodge,
No 49, f. and A. NJ, of this city, and a num-
Der of his brethren offered to furnish the skin
for the grating. Last night three members
went to the hospital and. under the direction of
Dr. Albert Pitts ard DR.. Norman II. Probasco.
submitted to the removal of small pieces of skin
from the upper portions of the forearm. There
being such large surface to cover the operation
is tedious and delicate one. and Will probably
consume several weeks. The grating will not be
continued every day, as the patient will not be
able to stand the strain. The skin is placed on
the body at uniform distance, and there forms
a focus for new skin to form around. Mr.. Fred
ericks is chief clerk in the New-York office of the
United States Express Company.

ORIENTAL FREIGHT RATE WAR.
Three Companies Cut Rates Below the Point
of Profit.

merry little freight rate war is i'll progress
among the three principal lines engaged in the
trade between this port and China, Japan. the
Straits and the Philippines. These the Ameri-
can-Asatc Steamship Company. the American and
Oriental Transport Line and the United States and
China-Japan Steamship Company. The first named
is an American company, the second an English
company the third German company. The fight
was started with the entrance of the American
Asiatic company into the trade a few months
ago This company organized by number
of well known NeW-York capitalists. some of
whom interested in the American China De-
velopment Company which is building the Canton
HankoW railroad. It is intended that this line
shall work in conjunction with the railroad and
give through rates. Its competitors will not be
able do this when the road is completed. At the
present time, however, company has any adj
vantage the other so far opportunities
concerned. Therefore eacn of the companies is
cutting rates to the point where practically all
profit is wiped out. The normal rates are from p
to 80 shings q ton At present the rate is u
sl..lings and pence. 1t has been as low as 10
shngs What this means may be gathered when
it is understood that the charges for passing

about 81 20 to the cost of transportation

Anderson and Pepper came to Fort Lee to-
getber last evening to attend a meeting Of the
local building and loan association At 1880
O'Clock they started 10 row home. They reached
the powder pier at CoytesviIle safely for An
derson's footsteps in the snow were traced %
where his body was found. He had fallen or
slipped down fifty-foot embankment and was
probably injured enough to bring on exhaustion
when he attempted to climb the hill again His
hands and knees were badly bruised and cut,
evidence that he struggled hercely TO save him
self from the powerful influence Of the intense
cold.
At midnight several families along the river
heard the cries Of man in a boat as he passed
along with the tide. These were evidently the
cries for help from Pepper. and it is thoughe
that he must have been caught in the ice and
drifted north with the ingoing tide As his boat
has not Deen seen since. there is no doubt that
he, too, was victim of the cold.
Anderson was forty-eish- years old. and
leaves only a widow. PEPPER was about the
same age. and leaves a widow and three chill
