tertainment.

The doors Of the hall were opened
at 80 o'clock and shortly afterwards
the members began TO gather. The
entertainment, which consisted o.
singing and story telling, was in
charge of New York talent and it was
up to the standard.
The committee in charge was ever
on the alert and not once was a guest
allowed to be without something to
smoke, Tor there was tobacco, pipes
and cigars in plenty for all.
After the entertainment the mem
bers went upstairs to the dining room,
where a big supper had been prepared
and from all accounts they did JUS
tice to the ''feed, 1t was after Il
O'Clock when the crowd started foi
home.
The. committee in charge Of tbs
affair orked hard and faithfully anC
they deserve much credit The com
mittee was composed of George Led
ger, John Meyers, Chris Carlson ant
Joseph Mazeski.

PAVEMENT
ON MARKET
STREET NOW.
Board of Aldermen, Last Night
Passed Ordinance for Wooden
Block from Park to Water St.
HAD BEEN HELD OVER.

The ancient ordinance for laying
wooden block pavement in Market
street, from city hall park east too
Water street, was resurrected by the
aldermen last night and was passed on
its second and final readings without
a single amending motion.
The ordinance was passed on It's first
reading last year in response to petit
tion, the chief reason for which was
the fact that much mud is tracked
from Market street. which has never
been paved, to the Rector street btu
lithic pavement
The ordinance provides that Market
street from the cross-walk at the city
hall to the west crossJwalk of Water
street, be paved with treated wood
blocks, from curb to curb !:
the said street to be curbed with six
teen-inch curbing.
One-third Of the costs and expense
of paving said street is. to BE paid by
the city of Perth Amboy; the remain
ing two-thirds TO be paid by the prop
erty-owners along the line of the pro
posed improvement, according to TIA e
city charter.

GIRLS MUST
PROVE AGE.
Factory Inspector Again Visit
Perth AmhOy and Go to
vaseIine Works.

Two men, factory inspectors from
Trenton, visited the plant 0. the
Chesebrough vaseline Works Satur-
day afternoon to see that the child la
Dor ordinance was not being violated,
and that the plapt was well equipped
with fire escapes. As a result of their
visit over one hundred boys and girls
were sent home to bring birth certifi-
Gates to prove that they We're OF age
The age in this case is sixteen years
and the inspectors, in going through
the plant, noticed, what they thought,
many young faces, and the attention
of the management was at once called
to the fact. The employees were laid
off until they could prove that they
were of age.
Yesterday number of those laid
off went to the Office of city clerk Mac
William to get certificates to prove
that they were of age. The city clerk
had his hands full and in only few
cases, it is said. could he help them
out.
1t is expected. that the, inspectors
will be hsre again in. few days.
They will again visit the Vaseline
works and only those who We're laid
off and can prove that they are of age
will be taken back.
y AS told in the NEWS ON Thursday,
March %, two women factory inspec-
tors visited this city. They were
Misses Mary f, VanLeer, OF Trenton,
and Grace DeHart, of Jersey City,
and now that TWO other inspectors
have come here so soon afterwards
makes it certain that the officials are
not going to allow the law to be vio-
lated in this city.
II is understood that the local labor
unions are urging the work and that
they will do all in their power TO help
locate the violators.

F0RTY-SEVEN
ARE AGAINST

Board Of Aldermen LastNight.
THE REASONS STATED.
Iohnnie's father was a scie

The much -heralded remonstrance
against the State street asphalt pave
ment was received by the Board of
Aldermen last night. 1t bore forty
seven signatures, all of which signers,
according to the wording of the re-
monstrance, are ''bona fide property
owners. y The first signature is that
of James Haney, who was buried Sun
day
The demonstrators gave the follow
ing reasons as basis for their obiec-
tions: The street has been already
paved with macadam. the remon-
stranee sets forth that not all of the
signers of the petition for the pave
ment are bona fide property
the demonstrators do not believe that
asphalt>is the best pavement for the
purpose: and. lastly, they believe
that that part of the street lying north
of the Lehigh Valley bridges should
be paved first.
The petition received some weeks
ago for the pavement bears thirty
seven signatures, among them that of
one of the aldermen, I.>R. Grouse.
The petition asks, as already told, for
an asphalt pavement on State street.

Was Closed at Both Ends and
Had Been Jammed Into the
Forge as Far as 1t Would Go.
MEN WERE UNCONSCIOUS.
Explosion Wrecked the Forge Scat.
terins Live Goals and Pieces of
Bricksin all Directions.

-Four men were badly hurt at the
Chesebrough Vaseline Works yester-
day afternoon and the blacksmith
shop was partly wrecked by an ex-
plosion. One of the men was taken
to the city hospital, where, late last
night, he was reported to be in a
serious condition.
Shortly after 2 O'Clock the black
smith, Hans Wagner, put nickel
plated pipe, about foot long and an
inch thick, in the forge to heat it.
The pipe was closed at both ends and
no air could get in or out. The
blacksmith, it is said. pushed the pipe
deep into the fire and told his helper,
John Hanson. to put the bellows on
full force. While the pipe was get
ting hot, Frank Quinn, of Brooklyn,
pipe filter, and Roland Cosgrove, OF
Brighton avenue, an assistant pipe
filter, came up and stood talking to
the blacksmith While they were
thus engaged the pipe had become
hot and il burst with report that
could be heard all over the factory.
The pipe was buried so deep in the
fire when it burst that it blew the
forge apart and sent large pieces OF
live Goals and broken bricks flying in
all directions. All of the electric lights
in the room were struck and broken
and the building was set on fire.
A piece Of the pipe flew up in the
air and struck Quinn in the face, a
piece OF coal tore q hole in his chest,
and ashes and dirt were ground deep
into bis face and body. Cosgrove had
part OF his scalp torn Off both eyes
filled with coal dirt and his face and
body badly burned by the flying
cinders. Wanger and Hanson were in
jured about the face apd body.
When the explosion was heard and
smoke and fire was seen coming from
the building. the fire alarm for the
company's fae department was
sounded
When the employees responded they
found the four men on the floor and at
first it was thought that they had
been killed. The men were picked
up and carried to the laboratory and
hurry call was sent for Dr. q. G..
Wilson. The doctor responded at once.
The wounds of the injured men were
washed. Quinn and Cosgrove seemed
to be badly injured DR.. Wilson
dressed their wounds and ordered
Quinn sent to the hospital. After Wag-
ner's and Hansen's wounds were
dressed they were taken to their
homes,
Last night Cosgrove was taken
to his home. where it was said that he
was unconscious,

A VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.

A
The good, progressive people o.
Paducah have reason to feel good
over the general results of yester
lays election in the city. 1t was no
more than most people wanted, ana
expected. To a great extent party
feeling seems to have been set aside,
and the good of the community as
whole considered. The city demo-
cratic organization worked hard and
desperately, but lost. 1t had police
men and every city official IT could
press into service out working for
the ticket-but the result shows thai
IL was not intended that the CROWD
should longer conduct public affairs.
The result of the election gives
the progressive business men who
made the race on the republican
ticket, control of the legislative
boards of the city after January LIST
u means that every democrat will
be eliminated from the local legisla
tive boards, as uae hold-oyer alder
men ana councilmen are all republic
cans elected last November.
The new general council will get
IN in time to make MANY changes in
municipal government. The ta&
rates have been entirely too high in
Paducah, and too many sinecures
ifave been supported. There are
many ways in which retrenchment
can be obta ned, and one way is by
cutting off some of the superfluous
officials and reducing some of the
salaries that are now paid out pnac-
tically for nothing. There are
number of departments in VIII ch thu
expenses can and viii be curtailed
but it is TOO early to go into details
The officials who have been riding
rough shod over the people of Padu-
cah, however. have been taught a
lesson. They have ruin things {;
suit themselves until the voters par
them ont OF office in sheer self-de.
Tense.
The main trouble with the so
called democrats in Paducah, and
the county, too, for that matter, is
that they have become too mercen.
airy. They are making politics a
business-they are democrats for
revenue only. the public good has
been lost sight OF in their frantic
haste to benefit themselves and their
f!iends-and yesterdays election Is
the inevitable result.
