ARRESTS FOLLOW
RVINTS DEATH.
Local Man Implicated In The Mater-RuiFOud Men Held By
Lay Beside The Track--StOy Told By The Conductor

Three men have been arrested in
connection with the death OF John
Irving, of Fords, whose body was
found along the railroad tracks at
Newark a week ago. One of those
arrested is John Hoy, of 2S7 North
First street. Others are Thomas +.
Tracy, of Newark, and Charles M.
Leslie, South Orange. Irving had
been paid his months salary the day
his body was found and the Newark
police believed he was either murder
ed for the purpose of robbery or that
he was killed by train and the
money taken from him as his body
lay beside the rails.
Tracy, it is said, admits having had
in his possession $50 which, it is
claimed, belonged to Irving. He is
also said to have had the dead man s
passes Hoy is not accused of the
iobbery, but is held more as witness
against the other two. The police
expect to prove by him that Tracy act
ually robbed the body. The latter, 1t
is said, claims that he found the pass
es and money near where the body
was discovered, early last Tuesday
morning. On Friday he turned the
money and the passes into the rail
road offices. The other two men, the
police say, admit they knew Tracy
had the passes and money.
Irving was member of one Of the
Pennsylvania freight train crews on
the Amboy division. He received his
months pay, $37. so, last Monday morn
ing. He was seen in the vicinity OF
the Emmett street passenger station
early the same night. About 8. IL
O'Clock William Winner, the conductor
of freight train, which stopped near
Murray street, discovered Irving's
body lying between the two main line
tracks. He notified Assistant Yard
master Gordon at the Mulberry street
yards, of the fact.
According to what Winner told the
police he left HOY in charge of the
body when he started out to notify
Gordon. Policeman Harms, took
charge of the remains ten minutes
after Winner reported his discovery.
According to the story told by Tracy,
he found the money and Irving pass
es about 4.30 O'Clock last Tuesday
morning. The police say that in ex-
PLANTATION of why he did not turn the
money and passes into the Pennsyl-
vania's local offices until Thursday
morning, Tracy declared he did not
get time to do SO.

SIDEWALKS, MORE PAVED STREETS;
BETTER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Business Men Are Earnest About The Welfare And Advancement

OfImpOranCe Will Be Discussed And Plans Laid
For Work In The Future.

The meeting was one of the most
enthusiastic yet held since the organ
ization Of the Chamber. The attend
ance was large and everyone present
showed unusual interest in the sub
jects being discussed. 1t was the
general opinion of the business men
that the city should be improved and
that there was room for plenty of it.
The disqussions were long but always
to the point. 1t was evident that the
organization is bound to accomplish
results.
Regarding streets, the idea seems
to be to get the Board of Aldermen to
Issue bonds for the general improve
ment Of streets. As to the best way
OF doing it no plan was devised, but
1t will be subject for future consid-
GRAFTON. The business men seemed
determined that the city shall not be
allowed to drift along with only occa-
sional attempts to make improve
ments. They believe in an organized
system and a steady growth.
At the meeting Tuesday night the
resolutions will determine along what
lines the Chamber of Commerce will
work and their future actions will
show to what extent they are able to
carry them ont.

stroying two big engines, a massive
set of clay working machinery, ten or
