WAS STOPPED
JUST IN TIME.

and Saved a Man and Boy
from Injury.

Edward Dilts, of Washington
street, an employe of the American
Smelling and Refining Company
stopped a runaway horse Sunday
night on Washington street and saw
ed a man and boy from being badly
hurt.
The owner of the horse, man
from the country, had stopped at a
store in Washington street. He had
left the wagon in charge OF his boy
while he went inside. He had trans
acted his business and was just get
ting in the wagon when the horse
took fright and started on a wild
gallon. The man had recently brok-
en- his leg and he could not get into
the wagon when the horse started,
because the leg was very stiff. He
was hanging on the side when Mr..
Dilts came along. He managed to
grab the horse by the bride and af-
ter being dragged a short distance
he stopped the animal.

COUNTY SEAT MEN ARE
AGAIN AFTER DUFALA.
Left Three Warrants in This City
to be Served-Chief Burke
Returned Them.

The New Brunswick exponents OF
law and order cannot let Mike Du-
fala, who was fined few weeks ago
by Recorder Pickersgill, rest. He
was arrested a few days later, as
told on the NEWS at the time, on a
warrant issued by Justice OF the
Peace Hayter, of New Brunswick, for
the same offense, a row while intox-
icated. He was put under bonds for
the grand jury.
That in itself angered the local
authorities to a great extent, but the
limit was reached yesterday after
noon, when Constable Groves came
here from New Brunswick with three
more warrants for Dufala's arrest,
for the same row for which Dufala
was arrested twice before. These
warrants were also issued by Justice
Hayter. They were all practically
for the same occurrence, but one was
for threats, one for assault and bat
terry and one for atrocious assault.
The constable from the county seat
left the warrants at police headquart-
ers, to be served by the local Of
flcers.
Chief Burke this morning sent the
warrants back to New Brunswick as
he will not, nor will he let the of
flcers, contribute to the further pros
ecution of Dufala for an offense for
which he was once punished and
oUoin arraetad and held

REFERRED TO
HEALTH BOARD.
The Application of Mr.. DrOst for
Transfer of License Is Not
Acted Upon.

At the meeting of the excise board
held in the council chamber last
night the investigation committee re-
ported that they had visited the sa-
loon of T. J. Drost, in Smith street
and found that the condition of the
place was such that it was a matter
for the Board of Health, rather than
the excise board. 1t seems that the
saloon itself is alright but that the
trouble is in the rear yard.
The board talked the matter over
freely and at the suggestion of Com
missioner John Schoonover, the clerk
was instructed to communicate with
the Board of Health in regard to the
matter.
President Hoy announced that he
had seen the city attorney in regard
to the law as to just how far a sa-
loon had to be from a church or
school house and that he had prom
ised to have a written opinion at the
meeting. A number of new licenses
and few renewals were granted.
The application of Emil Bohnsack,
for saloon at 152-154 Smith street,
was laid on the table. Those present
were Commissioners Hoy, Axen,
Schoonoyer and Hanson.

MERCHANTS COMPLAIN.
Declare Their Business Is Be-
ing Ruined by the Great Piles
Of Dirt Along the Curb.

Street Commissioner William Full
lerton, has notified the Perth Amboy
Realty and Construction Company,
who are building the Smith street
sewer, that they have twenty-four
hours in which to remove the dirt,

from Madison avnue to the Central
railroad, and to keep the sidewalk
and gutter clean hereafter as they
go along or men and carts we'll be
put at work by the city to do it and
the cost will be charged up to them.
This action is the result of num-
erous complaints from the merchants
along Smith street who declare that
their business is being ruined under
the present conditions. They threat
.ened to send protest to the Board
of Aldermen.
When the construction company
started to work In Smith street a
number of stones were piled on the
sidewalk and dirt was thrown over
them. AS the work is completed
the dirt that can be used is thrown
back again while what is left over is
either left on the sidewalk or in

Blown By Hand Later.

The furniture and other, possess
sions of the family were carried out
in safety and piled on the opposite
side of the street. These included a
large kitchen range with fire going
within all the time.
The various articles stored in the
large shed made thick smoke which
could be seen from downtown.
Another shed on the adjoining
property was within foot of the
burned one, but the flames were pre-
vented from being communicated.
The damage amounted to $500,
covered by insurance.
The same place, with an adjoin-
ing building, was destroyed by a
night fire last winter
During the fire yesterday, one of
the Eagles was soaked by the stream
from the hose of his own company.
When the second alarm was sound
ed on the whistle, the Eagles lost
several minutes in getting there by
traversing several wrong blocks due
to an error in locating the box.
The driver of Lincoln's steamer,
Arthur Hope started off in his haste
without an engineer. The fire had
been started but when the scene was
reached it had gone out. Mr.. Hope

Fire yesterday afternoon destroy
ed house and shed on the property
of Joseph Gomballa at Fayette and
Stanford streets. While the firemen
were still combating this blaze they
heard the fire whistle at the Perth
Amboy Terra Gotta Works blow SO,
which box is located at Woodbridge
road and Washington street. AS the
fire was well under control, most of
the firemen went to answer the 9TH
er alarm, but no fire could be found,
and storekeeper at Woodbridge
road and Washington street said that
no alarm had been turned in from
that box.
Whistle Failed ut First.
The mistake was due to the fact
that the whistle did not sound when
the alarm was sounded from box 84,
at Lehigh avenue and Stanford street,
and someone, who said he was a
fireman, 'phoned to the terra Gotta
works to have the whistle blown, and
in transmission the number was mis-
taken for 83, hence the error, which
fooled the department and excited
the city.
The House Destroyed.
The house which was destroyed
was occupied by the family of Ed
ward Novakoski The blaze originat-
ed near the chimney.

While the eclipse was smaller than
that of February 10 last, it was, new

it appears that there were several
men in the saloon Friday night act

fearing trouble, tried to induce the
men to leave. Thinking to frighten
them, it is said, he secured revol-
yer from behind the bar with the
intention of shooting it off, but not
at them. One of the officers says

Nj. Witte upon his return TO the hotel
from the conference at the navy yard
before his conference with the Jewish
deputation from New York city author
ized the statement that he did not in
tend TO discuss the question of Il loan
or money matters ut the conference
Oscar Straus shortly after his arrival
at the hotel made the following state
ment regarding his mission:
1--WE have come here on a very simple
mission. A conference was arranged
by NJ Witte, who desired to confer
with us regarding the condition OF
Jews IN Russia and to discuss with
him how best to improve this condi-
tion and to give them the same rights
as other Russian subjects have. This
is in no way involved with any finan-
cial question. 1t is purely and simply
question of humanity and the belief on
our part that equal rights among all
the subjects of Russia will promote the
best interests of that empire.
Il would further say that the Rus
sian Jewish question must be settled
in Russia. Emigration, no matter how
large it may be, can only affect the
outer surface. M. Witte, l have un-
derstood, has seen with his own eyes
while in this country the progress that
has been made among the Russian
emlgrants to America, and,what he has
seen cannot fail to have an influence
upon him in ihslicating the way to
make the Russian Jews Helpful III the
upbuilding of that empire.
81 regard the whole question as a
very simple one. 1t only involves Civ
ing all the subjects of the emperor
equal rights. That l regard as fun
damentai."
Mr. Straus was unwilling to speak
of the specific programme which the
delegation might suggest to NJ Witte
for the improvement of the condition
of the Jews in Russia.
1t seems to be taken for granted
among the attaches of both the Japa-
nese and Russian missions that there
will be no general battle in Manchuria
while the peace negotiations are on.
Oyama is known to be prepared to
strike the moment they fail. and there
may be more or less skirmishing and
outpost engagements while the troops
are getting in position but it is admit
ted on each side that if either Oyama
or Linevitch should deliberately bring
on general engagement which might
cost $1,000 or 100000 lives his country
would be accused of bad faith in the
negotiations here and would inevitably
lose prestige in the eyes of the world.
In the larger sense, therefore, it can
be said that an armistice already eX-
lists in Manchuria Should the negotia-
tions be vainly prolonged and it be-
come evident that they are to be fruit
less the advance of Oyama or Line
witch might be the signal for the final
rupture. The uneXpected' attack on
Port Arthur might be repeated below
