MYSTERY SOLVED BY
: PROPRIETOR HIMSELF.
Mr.. Hardy Was Delayed Getting TO-
Store This Morning
Caused Alarm.

When Robert P. Hardy, manager
of the Glen Rock clothing store at
1875 Smith street, did not put in an
appearance this morning at 10 o'clock
his clerk began to worry, thinking
something was wrong and as some
customers were waiting to get into
the place the boy decided to get into
the store to find out just what was
what. With the assistance, of some
neighbors he was boosted over the
transom, and was about to break
open the lock on the inside, when
Mr.. Hardy came along. He was
greatly surprised but treated the
matter as huge joke. He had been
detained at home.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 22:-
After duel of an hour between rep
resentatieves of rival bridge build
ing companies with members of the
board acting as seconds or other sup
porters of the respective combatants
the freeholders yesterday awarded
the contracts for the repairing and
Strengthening of the Weston's Mills
bridge and the building of the abut-
ments OF the Milltown bridge. The
combatants were the Middlesex Con-
struction Company, of this city, and
Dean, Schweirs & Sutton, of New
York. The latter proved the victor
being given the contracts for both
jobs, the figure for the Weston's S
mills job being for $3,S00 and that
for the abutments being for 1915.
Only Words Used.
The duel was purely one of words
although Mr.. Dean at one time in
quired facetiously if any one had a
set of boxing gloves at hand. Asher
Atkinson, for the Middlesex company
told of the merits of the plans 1t had
submitted and which called for rein
forced concrete plans on the present
abutments now standing. Many ex-
amples of bridges and other struct-
ures built after the methods he
proposed to use were shown Mr.
Deans plans called for an additional
cylinder pier which it was claimed
would help the bridge in carrying
\ d much greater weight.
County Engineer Dougherty APP
proved the Middlesex company s
plans as providing a concrete bridge
that would be complete while he said
the other would be a job giving a
patched up bridge. County Auditor
Pownall took the floor and spoke IN
favor of the Dean, Schweirs plans ana
members of the board were not
pleased with him in doing this as
they do not regard him as having a
voice in such matters as he is not a
member of the board. Mr.. Hansen
was also one who favored the plans
of the successful bidder.
Engineers Recommendations.
After all the almost iterminable
discussion had been ended Mr. U
Neil. chairman of the committee OF
the bridge moved that the board ac
cept the plans recommended by th'
county engineer adding that IL thli
was not done the board might as wei
be without an engineer. His motion
was not seconded and Mr.. Hane,
moved that the matter go over U
the next meeting Several OF tn
members protested against this am
then Mr.. Haney, who wished to D.
excused to get home, moved that tn
contract be awarded to the loves
bidder. Dean, Schweirs & Sutton.
This started another argumen
with Mr.. O'Neil asking the question
as to why the contract for the Am
boy bridge was not let to the loves
bidder. Finally Mr.. Haney's motto
was carried. Those voting agains
it were Messrs. O'Neil, Cauley an
Welsh. They hold that while tn
bid of the MiddleseX company wa
for $4,100, and higher than the othe
bid. job far more satisfactor
would be had if that company ha
gotten the contract.
The time of finishing the bridg
by the Dean company was extende
from December l to December 15.

INQUIRE THE BURGLAR
His Defense Was Inadequate - Held
 to the Grand Jury.

Mcclure, the burglar who was caught in the store of Goldberg Bros. on Saturday night. had a preliminary hearing before Justice Johnstone yes terday morning and was held to the grand jury in the sum of $500. Me Guire said he was not guilty. He eX- plained his presence in the store in 9 variety of ways, any one of which was regarded by the court as unreasonable. He first said that he was passing the window and having been drinking he fell through it. Again he said that he was passing the window when some one. who he did not know, struck him and knocked him through. When he was captured he was half way across the room.
 The window through which Mcclure entered is on an area way on the east side of the building near the north end. It is so situated that people have no occasion to pass it. To do so one must go considerably out of his way wher- ever he may happen to be going. The aperture was not made for people to fall through or to be knocked through. On the inside of the glass there are strong shutters held in place by Q heavy bar at the ends of which are dropped into iron sockets.
 MT. WinslOw, one of the clerks of the store. happened to be in the build ing at the time Mcclure was forcing an entrance. He had occasion to go back into the tailoring department and just as he was entering it he heard the sound of breaking glass. The next thing he noticed was strong and con- tinued pressure on the shutters. He hurried out and into the Yellowstone saloon after help and having directed some one to watch the upper end of the alley. MT. Wins low and others went around to the lower end. By that time Me Guire had got inside by forcing one end of the bar holding the shutters out of the socket. Then they entered the store and found Mcclure.

The following item from the Elk
Point Leader shows how corn is be-
coming the leading crop in Union
county, one of the old counties Of the
state. "While talking with Station
Agent Brock the other day in regard
to the amount of corn shipped from
Elk Point, he gave us the number OF
cars shipped from Dec. lst. In De-
cember, 80 carloads of corn were ship
ped from this point, 81 during Janu-
airy, making 26O cars during the three
months, which contained 261,729 bush
els of corn. AS the farmers received
from 80 to 33 cents per bushel for this
corn it can easily be estimated what
the farmers derived from their corn
crop this year in this vicinity. Dur
ing the same months last year only
l24 cars were shipped from this point"
