PRESENCE OF MIND
SAVED HIS LIFE.
Hudson Williams had Marrow Escape from Death at Perth Aboy
Dry Docks yesterday from Rigging of Schoon-
er and Caught Hold of Rope as he Descended

Hudson Williams, of A Jefferson
street, saved his life bv much presence
of mind yesterday afternoon. He fell
from the rigging of the four masted
schooner. Young Brothers. - When
ne had fallen nearly half way to the
deck, he grabbed a rope and slid the
rest of the way, burning his hands to
the bone. He was attended by DR..
Wilson. 1t may be month before he
can use his hands again.
Williams is rigger by trade and
he had been working on the schooner
which was in for repairs. He was
on crosstree about 100 feet above
deck when he missed his footing and
darted downward headfirst. Had he
struck the deck his body would have
been crushed. Hundreds of ropes
were dangling all about him and
while falling through the air Williams
managed to grasp one Of these. 1t
checked his fall, but the momentum
was so great that he was carried
rapidly to the deck. BY clinging fast
to the rope, the friction, as it slipped
through his hands, caused smoke
and when he reached deck the bones
in both hands were exposed, flesh
having been burnt away. The suffer
ing thus caused was intense.
quickly as possible Williams
driven to DIR. Wilson's office VIII
the wounds were dressed He
then taken to his home.

EVERY DAY SEES
MORE WORK DONE.
New Bridge is Rapidly Assuming
Shape and Work Will be Done
on Time.

The work on the new Raritan river
bridge is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. On the South Amboy side
the piling are not all down. The
stock is getting low. The piling come
from Georgia and if some does not
arrive within few days, it will be
necessary to suspend this part of the
work.
AS fast as the planks for the bridge
are put down the iron workers get
their work started, after which the
concrete plant takes its turn. This is
now in progress on this side of the
river.
A number of small piles have been
driven into the marsh so that when
the work on the approach is COM
menced, the contractors will not have
as much trouble as it was thought
Over these piling will be put heavy
coating of cement, and this will make
fine body. If everything goes along
as it has been the bridge will be finish
ed by the middle of September

Child of Mr.. and Mrs. B.GOIdman
had Narrow Escape
From Death.
CAR STOPPED QUICKLY.
Or. W. E. Ramsay was a Passenger and
Examined the Little 0ne-Founc not
Even Scratch-Ran lRto the Street
as the Car Approached Did not
Realize the Danger.

The three-year old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. B. Goldman, of 223 Smith street,
had very narrow escape from a
horrible death at $50 O'Clock last
night by being knocked down by a
trolley car. How the little one escap-
ed without scratch none of the
bystanders can answer.
The car No. 204. in charge of Con-
ductnr Stacey Coutts, was going east
toward the ferry. At the corner of
Oak and Smith street the child ran
into the middle of the tracks and
stood there looking at the car. which
was coming directly toward him.
Someone shouted a warning to the
motorman, while others made a dash
for the baby.
1t was all too late, however, for be-
fore the car could be brought to q
standstill, the child had been struck
and become wedged under the fender.
The fender was lifted and the child
taken out and carried into the house.
DR.. W. e. Ramsay was on the car.
He carefully examined the child, ex-
pecting to find it,badly hurt, but to
his surprise hardly scratch could be
found. This is largely due to the
efforts of the motorman, who, al
though too close to the little ono to
stop altogether, had brought his car
to very slow motion and the child
was no more than struck when the
car stopped.

ANOTHER BOAT RACE
HAS BEEN ARRANGED.
Raon Yacht Cb will have Another Contest on the Bay Aug0sf T.
win be Sailed Under the Same Condition the Previous Rdce
CLAIMS That it will be Even Better COMMITTEE IN Chdrge

The Raritan Yacht Club has decided
to hold another power boat race. The
date set has been Saturday afternoon,
August 1st. The race will be run
over on the same course as the one
held on July 4th. The conditions are
also to be the same. Nathaniel Pierce,
Vice Commodore of the Yacht Club,
has been appointed chairman of the
committee of arrangements. A COM
mittee of three to assist him will be
appointed y
The yacht club has Welded to a
popular demand in arranging this Sec
ond race. There are many who were
i'll the last race who are not entirely
satisfied with the time they made and
claim they can do better. They want
another chance to try anyway. 1t is
also pointed out that the exact time
it takes every boat to go round the
course is now at hand and the new
boats can be handicapped with even
more accuracy and the race will be
even more closely watched than the
other. 1t has been practically assured
that nearly every boat in the last race
will enter the one on August l.
! The race is three times around the
triangle. This is from the starting
boat off the club house, to a stake
boat off the long dock at South Am
boy, to the stake boat at buoy 10, then
to starting point.
All kinds of power boats can enter.
no matter what their length or the
power of their engine. Commodore
Evans, who worked so hard to make
the last race a success, will do all he
possibly can to make the coming one
even better. Three first class prizes
will be offered. The entrance fee will
be only 30 cents and those who desire
TO enter can do SO by sending the
money, the name of their boat and it's
length to Commodore Evans, or Vice
Commodore Pierce, chairman of the
committee.

Never has Such an Attack Been
Known in this Section of
the Country.
AUTHORITIES FIGHT.
Loud and Long are the Complaints from
all Parts of New Jersey and Long Island
Professor Smith is Eusy With the
Probiem-Perth Amboy Has its Share
Effort TO Overcome Them.

From many points in New Jersey
and from practically every section of
Long Island come reports of swarms
of mosquitoes more numerous and
more ferocious than ever known be-
fore. In Long Island the pest is
smaller than heretofore, and means of
protection usually effective have fail
ed. In New Jersey town authorities
are planning an energetic warfare to
obtain relief.
In spite of the efforts of the Health
Department to exterminate the mos
quito from the Bronx the residents in
that section were last night forced to
annoying pest. Gallons of oil have
been poured on the marshes and
swamps in various parts Of the Bronx.
Notwithstanding this the pest has
appeared in greater force than ever
before.
From New Jersey points come many
reports of the advent of the pest in
unusual numbers and, it appears, OF
exceptional ferooity.
Newark residents for several days
have been suffering from particular
ly severe plague of mosquitoes. They
are of a small dark vari ETY., more
vicious and numerous than any prev
iously known there, and at night
come into the city from the meadows
in clouds. The Boards of Health
are preparing 10 begin tt work of ex-
termination by ditching about five
hundred acres of meadows and thus
destroying the breeding places.
The anti-mosquito machine in South
Orange has sprung leak, and it will
take several days to repair the dam
age. The fighters admit that their
forces are inadequate to meet the
phalanx of mosquitoes that has come
with the recent rains.
The fight against the pest at Sum-
NIT, which has heretofore been con-
Quoted by the Town Improvement
Association, was formally taken up at
the meeting of the Board of Health
Wednesday night. DR.. W. H. Risk,
president of the Board, declared that
immediate and drastic action should
be taken, and, following out his re-
marks, it was decided to inaugurate
an official crusade against the pest.
In Perth Amboy the mosquitoes
drive people:.into the houses and some
regular birds have been seen. One
was killed night or two ago whose
body was an inch in length. Along
shore and far out over the water they
are always singing and fans and hand
kerchiefs are kept busy. When there
is no wind the mosquitoes hover about
ones head in clouds.
Over in New Brunswick, the home
of Professor Smith, the leader In the
attack upon the beast, there is
loud complaint and some think that
all the mosquitoes in the State are be-
ing driven into the county seat so that
Professor Smith can catch them at his
leisure.

LabOrer Refuses to Slack Lime
in Hot Sun and is
Discharged.
HIRED NON-UNION MAN.
When the Masons Heard They Were Work
With Non Union Men They Quit Work
and the Building Is Tied up-Foreman
Says he Does not Know What II Is all
About.

A laborer employed at st. Mary g
new church refused to slack lime in
the hot sun when told to do so by the
foreman this morning, claiming 1t
was a job belonging to someone else,
and he was discharged. A non union
man was employed in his place and
every union man on the building
stopped work.
AS soon as the first man was dis
charged the foreman hired another,
who was standing around, not know
ing whether he was union or not
When the union man found this out
he sent for the delegate. When he
arrived on the scene he called all the
union men off. Some of the nom
union men, who went to work in their
place, stopped work when it was ex-
planned to them that the union men
had been receiving $500 for. eight
hours work, while they claimed they
were only getting $3.50 for eight
hours.
The delegate of the helpers union
managed to get hold of a mason and
explain the situation to him. The
masons held a short conference and
then explained to the foreman that
they could not work with non-union
men. AS very little work could be
done without the aid of the laborers
the masons were allowed to stop.
When prominent union man was
seen bv News reporter and asked
what he thought would be the out
come of the trouble he said:
If the foreman in charge persists
in keeping his nom union laborers at
work, the union men will refuse to
put a tool on the building and this
will tie the work up for an indefinite
period. :"
The union man explained that the
only way the trouble could be pre-
vented would be for the foreman to
make peace with the laborefs.
The foreman on the work said he
did not know what the strike is about.
He declared that he thought he was
boss and someone had to slack lime
and when he discharged laborer for
refusing to do it they all stopped.
