SPENT NIGHT
CELEBRATING.
Were Given their Liberty Yester
day and PrOCe ,ded to Make
up for Lost Moments.

Robert Doane and Frank Miller,
two of the coal pirates yesterday fined
$25 by Judge Strong. started out last
night to celebrate their liberty. They
went about it in systematic way,
for no less than threo times between
9:20 o'clock and midnight were their
actions brought to tho attention of
tho police.
At the first manned hour, Fritz
Sperr, who keeps saloon at 14O
Front street, reported to Patrolman
LA. Long that Doane and Miller had
broken q window in his place. He,
however, refused to make charge
against the pair.
At :40 O'Clock fight in q Fayette
street saloon was reported to Patrol
man Long. 1t was found that it was
"Big Bob" who was getting the worst
| of the argument and who wanted
the police.
Patrick Connors also reported tc
the Tmtrolman that he had been hnrt
by a number of the men, among
whom were said to be four members
of one family.
No arrests were made as none of the
complainants cared to make a charge
against the alleged guilty parties.

Front Wall Now Standing will be
Torn Down and Cellar Will
be Made Deeper.
TO Be THREE STORIES.
Hess Brothers Plan Great Improvement
for the Block Destroyed by Fire Recent
Iy-CelIar will be Arranged so that II
May be Used as Sassroom when Bus
mess Increases Sufficiently.

Forrest L. Smith, of the firm of
Mason 81 Smith, City Engineers and
Surveyors, has been commissioned,
by Oswin w. Sicily, an architect, to
survey the Hess block in Smith street.
He will commence work as soon as
the weather will permit. This means
that the front walls now standing will
be torn down and O new structure
from start to finish will be erected
The new building, it is now GER
taiu, will be three stories high and
will occupy the four lots in Smith
street and will extend all the way back
to the Liddle & Pfeiffer stables.
! The cellar will be dug deeper and
1t is understood that as the business
in the block grow 1t will be used as
salesroom.
The building will be about 100 feet
on Smith street, 100 feet deep and
27is feet along New Brunswick ave-
nue., filing the space for merly used
as an alley.
Whether or not it will be all one
store or divided into two is yet to be
decided by the oTners. 1t is proba-

BRIDGE BILL A LAW;
DECLARED USELESS.
Freeholders Say they do Not Propose Putting the
County to the Expense Of a Special Election
as They Know Full Well What the Re-
suit will be-To Complete Structure
IT MAY REMAIN AS 1T is Indefinitely.

The bill which was drawn by the
legislature authorizing the Board of
Freeholders to issue bonds to the
amount of 800, 900 to add additional
spans to the new Raritan river
bridge, was signed by the governor
yesterday and it is now law. 1t is
generally understood that the bill is
not favored by the Board of Free
holders and it is probable nothing
will be done with it as it is considered
more of O hindrance than anything
else.
The bill provides that before the
freeholders can issue the bonds,
the people must give them the per-
mission at a special election, and as
this would cost at the least $4,000, it
is believed that the people OF New
Brunswick and MetucheD, and many
of the citizens OF this city, would not
stand for it,
Freeholder Glenn declared the bill
would not serve its purpose when 1t
was introduced with tho referendum
clause and it is now understood TINT
at the meeting of the frceholders in
New Brunswick. Wednesday, APR;
6, the members will do nothing aside
from a general discussion Of the mat
ter. Other freeholders declare that
the bill is useless.
eff the bill had been left the way
il was first drawn by the coinnlttee
appointed by the managers OF 10
factories along the Raritan," said
a freeholder this morning, "it would
have been all right and the freeholt :
ers would have been ablo to do some
thing, but W hen the bill was taken to
Trenton, Assemblymnn Martin had
the referendum clause attached and
as it now stands it is nothing more
than fake bill, "
It is probable an effort will bo made
by the freeholdeIs to complete tue
bridge ns originally planned, but as
tho manufacturers will doubtless
fight 1T, the chances of the structure
remaining as it is for several years,
seems probable.

not she wore this or another costume
when she left her home.
II usually am awake by 4:3o
O'Clock in the morning." said Mr..
Mills this morning, "but this morn
ing I was an hour late and that hour
may have made q great difference.
We have relatives in New Brunswick
and Newark with whom l will COM
municato tooay. Emily was employed

sheimer at lit Smith street, and re-
turned home about $3.50 O'Clock last
