PROGRESS ON
NEW SCHOOL.
Will Be Completed, in all Proba
biIity When School Opens
September 8.
MANY new ROOMS

The work of building Public School
No. 6, Perth Amboy's newest school,
is getting along very nicely. The
contract calls for the building to be
|completed the first day of school
opening, which is on Tuesday, Sept.
8th. The contractor, Ira R. Grouse,
is doing all he can to get the work
finished.
The Board of Education is earnestly
hoping that it will be all done by the
date named, for they know that more
children than ever before will apply
this September for admittance to the
public schools and without this build
ing finished and ready for the pupils
they would have a hard proposition
before them.
The school, which is situated at
Johnstone, Lawrie and Barclay streets,
wall BIZ complete in every particular.
The walls are all up and men are now
at work finishing the roof, part OF
which has been completed. The cell
ings will all be of metal work. The
building, when completed, will con-
tain thirteen school rooms, one wait
ing room. two cloak rooms, one office,
a good sized storage room in the base
ment. All the modern improvements
will be used.

STREET is
DAMAGED
BY STORM.
Great GuICh Made in Lower End
Of Washington Street Tons
of Sand Washed Away.
SEWER is BROKEN.

During the heavy rain storm last
night the Washington street sewer in
front of the Standard Underground
Gable Works caved in, breaking the
drain pipe and carrying away tons of
earth.
/. Just what time the accident occprred
no one seems to know. 1t was noticed
early this morning by passerby who
reported it. 1t is only a short time
ago that the Washington street sewer
caved in, in the same place. The city
had gang of laborers fixing it up.
They also had the sidewalk on the
light side, which was very Steep, cut
down to grade. 1t was thought then
that everything would be satisfactory.
Now, as soon as the weather per.
mits, masons will have to commence
work repairing about ten feet to the
drain pipe. Street Commissioner
Weirup will then have to start men al
work and fill up the big hole. Many
tons of dirt were carried away bv the
bursting of the drain pipe, and carried
into the sound.

xApNJNG SIGNAL WAS GIVEN BUT NOT HEEDED

Two dead and one injured is the
result of frightful accident at the
Washington street crossing OF the
Central railroad about $3.50 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon. A wagon loaded
with sand and driven by Edward
Tyrrell was struck by the Atlantic
City express while it was going at the
rate of about fifty miles an hour. The
wagon was shattered. both horses
were killed and Tyrrell died from his
injuries about O'Clock last night.
Louis Griffen, eight years old, OF East
avenue, with George Stevenson, IL
years old, Of 175 Washington street,
were riding with Tyrrell. Griffen
was killed instantly and Stevenson
escaped with broken arm.
Yesterday afternoon Edward Tyrreli
of Rector street, who was employed
by J. H. Tyrrell, the liveryman, as a
driver, had loaded his wagon with
sand at the siding of the Central Rail
road near Washington street and had
started with load. Tne siding is
6ust inside the gates at the crossing.
Just as he was pulling out he noticed
that the gates were going down. He
stopped his team and the "scoot, :"
which runs from this city to Jersey
|City, passed him. On the other side
|of the track a man with bicycle was
standing and as soon as the "scoot"
went by he made dash for the other
side of the track and landed safely
AS he did so he noticed that Tyrrell
had started his team. The gates were
still down and the fellow with the
bicycle and the towerman both shout
ed at Tyrrell to look out for the
Atlantic City express train which is
due in this city at S.27 O'Clock. 1t

SAYS CITY
is PARTLY
To BLAME.
Or. ". {. Ramsay Declares that
Inability to Give Clear Title
Made Trouble.
WORK WILL CONTINUE

The city of Perth Amboy is blamed
to some extent for the present trouble
of the Perth Amboy Engineering and
Shipbui]ding Company for which q
temporary receiver has just been
appointed upon application of A. L.
Ramsay. The receiver, Willard P.
Voorhees,. of New Brunswick, an.
nounces that he will continue the
business of the company pending a
permanent appointment
DR.. W. E. Ramsay, the president OF
the company, said that the work
would be continued right along as il
had been. The difficulty has been the
raising of money.
"If the government had paid us fo1
the work as they said that they
would" DR.. Ramsay said,'' all this
trouble would have been avoided.
DR.. Ramsay also said that the city
had a great deal to do with the pres
ent trouble because of their action
toward the shipbuilding company in
refusing to grant them a clear title to
the property that they now occupy.
This, he said, made it an almost i'm
possible thing to raise money.
Adrian Lyon, counsel for the appli-
can't for receiver, said that the con-
Germ has been embarrassed through
delayed payments by the government
on two War Department tugs for the
Quartermaster' s bureau, to cost $106,
600, first payment on which was to
be made when twenty five per cent OF
the work was completed, but on
which no payment has yet been made,
although. he says, forty eight per cent
of the work has been finished. The
matter of making the receivershiI
permanent is to come up before Vice
Chancellor Stevens on August II.

ShipbuiIding and JOiners Nation
al Union Local 81 Looking for
its Recording Secretary.
WILL MEET TONIGHT.
Money was Placed in Secreiarys Hands
to Pay Some Bills and He Cannot now
be Found-Union Men are Anxious to
Locate him or the Money-As they Need
all the Cash.

Joseph Murphy, of Commerce street,
the recording secretary of the Ship
builders and Joiners National Union
No. 81, of this city, has disappeared,
together with $T5 of the union S money
which was given to him to pay some
bills. Where he has gone none of the
union members know, but many of
them would like to know.
At the last meeting of the union ii
was found that they owned about $75
for different things. The treasurer
was ordered to give that amount Of
money to Murphy, which he did.
Murphy was to have paid the bills
with this, but instead, he has dis
appeared. Tonight meeting of the
members will be held in the Adelaide
Building, 1873 Smith street. They
will talk over the plans and see what
can be done. The union Is still young,
having been organized only since
February during which time Murphy
has been recording secretary. The
loss is therefore felt keenly.
Murphy, who was ship carpenter
by trade, was employed at the Ramsay
plant until last Friday when he left.
He has not been seen about this city
since that time. At first it was
thought he had only gone away on a
visit, but when some of the union
tried several times to see him and
could not, they began to get suspic.
ious, and when several of the union
were made aware of the facts the
meeting was decided upon to deter
mine what course to follow.
