CARGO SHIFTED
STEAMER LlFSED.
The Donald in Bad Way at the
Dock of the Tar Roofing
Company.

A sight which is seldom seen in any
port is now attracting crowds of people at
the dock of the Atlantic Tar Roofing
Company, foot of Buckingham avenue,
here the steamer Donald, has listed so
far oven by the shifting of her cargo of
pitch that only fol the strong dock she
would turn turtle.
When the steamer came into port a few
days ago laborers started at once to un.
load her. They were in a hurry to get
the cargo off as another steamer is due,
aud the Donald must be out of the way.
It was decided to take a number of the
barrels of pitch off the deck first and then
to pump the pitch out of the hold. There
it is in a semi-liquid state, little thicker
than molasses.
j. took the laborers until yesterday to
get the barrels off and then they noticed
that the steamer had commenced to tip.
Slowly she listed to the port side and the
captain ordered all hands on deck, but
the vessel kept leaning until now the
steamer is so fan listed that the only thing
keeping her up is the new heavy dock. The
crew are hard at work to get the cargo
out when. the steamer will shift buck into
her former position.

the cities that subsversive tendencies
have their strength, and 1t is in the
farming districts, in every country,
that the present order of things has
its surest protection. The farmer and
the farm hand work hard for what
they get, but they live, and they have
an independence and hard sense which
remove them immeasurably for utop-

COMMENT.

There is still plenty of time to place
gangs of men ct work on the streets
which require it to fill tho ruts and
holes due to carelessness and bail
workmanship, before frost puts an end
to work out of doors.
1t would be a wise move to make at
this time, and a very little work
would place most Of the streets in
good condition.
A very large percentage of the miles
of road way is in good condition and
the bad streets could easily be made
serviceable without serious expense.
There are a few streets which ARE
dotted with ruts and holes, and I'M.
fortunately these are very nuch in
evidence. A few gangs of street re-
pair hands could save these streets,
and if it is done now many of the
streets after q winter and spring any
thing like last winter will be PUT in
such bad ord r that repaving will be
the only remedy.
The ounce of prevention may avoid
serious demands On the city next year.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER as, 1904.

The Newark Evening News congrat-
mates Perth Amboy upon her progress
as follows:
"There Is not the slightest djsDosi-
tion to hegrudge Perth Amboy its in
crossing and its growing
Importance, and therefor sonly congrat-
ulatious are in order over the fact that
the shore oifv is TO enjoy the advan-
tJgs ard profit of anotne- lin 9 OF ocean
ntuameis. There are already two coast
lines running into Perth Amboy, and
the third is soon to be added. Ono OF
the reasons why that city is increas-
ing It's waterway commerce is, because
of the easy acc ISIS to its docks, oven
for vessels of considerable tonnage.
Were there sufficient depth aud width
of channel through Newark hay aud
up tile Passaiq[ Wver there is not n
sIlaff0WSl doubt that larger vessels
than cln TO- reach the docks wonld
very soon load and unload nc tho local
wharyes. The profit OF carrying goods
in these days is gained by taking vnst
quantiti~s of freight In one load.

wide water avs are necessary y. Tho
city that Ia most easily accessible to
Iargs vessels, aud that can give the
best docking privileges, Is the Ii that
is most likely to prosper thereby"
There is no doubt but that il New
ark had the water facilities Of this
city, vessels of greater tonnage, ocean
steamers and the like, would be dock
ing there, but she hasn't ard it would
cost millions to give it to her and
even then it would not eqnal the al
vnntages OF Perth Amboy. Then why
spend the money to go inland when
here is a port on the water front,
which, by simply keeping tue channel
clear dow the bay and through the
sound. oan accommodate almost any
vessel While Newark is building her
ship canal across the meadows, Perth
Amboy will be marching merrily on.

music provided harmonious fun for the

visit Lakewood, paying all of their own
expenses, to sing for the guests of the re-
sort These sweet singers have provided
themselves with number of musical in
novations and guarantee the residents of
the wolverine state who may take ad-
vantage of the invitation to attend the
formal opening, feast of song, a treat
in the way of humor and some very
pleasing vaudeville numbers for which
two of the quartet are especially quail

big circuits of the vaudeville theaters.

The base ball season has opened in
Paw Paw.
The first game was awaited with inter
est, as our local "fans" were anxious to
see how the home team would show up,
and they are more than satisfied. Paw
Paw has to-day the strongest team in
its base ball history.
Not man of the two first visiting
teams crossed the plate, and good, win
ming ball is in prospect for us this year.
THE sCHooLcRAFT GAMEe
The opening game was played Satur-
day with the crack Schoolcraft team,
which has been playing for several
weeks, and the Paw Paw boys went into
the game absolutely without team prac-
tice.
Unfortunately two Schoolcraft men
were unable to get here for the game,
owing to a delayed train on the Central,
and for time it looked as though no
game would be played. However, that
the big crowd might not be disappoint-
ed Killefer was loaned to the visitors
and caught magnificent game for them,
and each team took Paw Paw high
school player to fill up the nine, Snow
playing second for Paw Paw and Rey-
nolds right field for Schoolcraft.
From start to finish it was a pitchers
battle, in which Sanger had much the
best of it, although Beistle pitched a
good game.
