While on her way to New Bruns-

1t was about / O'Clock when the
crew of the Wilson finished taking
the cargo off at the local dock of the
New York and New Brunswick
Steamship Company. The fog was
very thick and in keeping off the
Staten Island shore the bow of the
Wilson ran on the mud bank. The
more the captain tried to get the boat
off the firmer she became and the at
tempt was finally given up. The
crew.. with the exception of the watch
turned in and had a good nights
sleep. This morning the tug Nellie
NJ Tyrrell, of Tottenville, was hailed
and, after some hard work, the Will
son was foated. AS far as is known
she is not injured. She proceeded to
her dock in this city where she tied

OPENED BIDS
ORAPPROACH.
FreehOIders Awarded the Con-
tract to Sanford & Harris
Woodbridge Creek.
Special to the Evening News:


NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. L.
At the meeting of the Board of Free
holders this morning bids were open
ed for the 300 feet of the approach to
the Amboy bridge which the county
is to build. The work was given to
Sandford & Harris, who are building
the bridge, for 1876, but the con-
tract is not to be entered into until
the next meeting two weeks hence.
Three bids We're received for the
work Deans, Schwelrs, Sutton &
Company bid $6,500: Sanford & Har-
ris had two bids. one for s., 5,4S0 and
the other for $4,465, using material
taken from another structure. All
bids were made on condition that
they be accepted within ten days, as
the specifications call for the compile
tion of the work by December %
Freeholder Glenn moved that the
lowest bid of Sanford & Harris be
referred to the committee of the
whole and that the check of Deans,
Schweirs & Sutton be returned.
Freeholder DeHart wanted to de-
lay matters until after Perth Amboy
had opened bids for her part of the
approach.
Mr. Glenn's motion was passed,
however, and the board then decided
TO accept Sandford & Harris lowest
bid.
The report of the finance commit
tee showed balance on hand Sep
tember 80, of $1S,957.79 and Octo-
Der 81, $62,1S2.29.
Bids were received, at 10 O'Clock,
for repairs to the abutments to the
Woodbridge creek bridge. The con-
tract was awarded to Jacob Hanson,
of Perth Amboy, for 5000. There
was some objection to this, the claim
being made that the Public Service
Corporation should pay part of the
expense. Mr. Glenn stated that un-
der the contract the trolley company
was compelled to keep the planking
in repair

earnest canvass and that he will
make an excellent run next Tuesday

ago when, by his oratory he won so
many votes for the entire republican
ticket throughout the county.

OP PINION ON
RUNY0N TAX.
City Attorney Says Madison
Township Cannot COIIeCr
from the Water Board.

City. Attorney Hommann is OF the
opinion that the water department is
not, according to law. obliged to pay
Madison township taxes for the sta
tion at Runyon. Decisions We're Civ
en- by the courts to that erect under
the old law. Whether, under the
new law, the same would apply, is
the question The city attorney says
that the water department property
is used for public purposes and
should therefore be exempt The
Madison township people declare
that all of the land is not used for
public purposes. It is not used for
any private purpose, says the city at
torney, it is certain, and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the courts
would hold that the property is used
for public purposes, namely supply
ing and pumping the water for this
city, and South Amboy also.
According to The communication
received by the water board from the
Madison township authorities the
board was to appear last Wednesday
by representative before the commits
sioners of appeal at Browntown, in
Madison township, TO show cause
why the property at Runyon should
not be taxed The matter was turn
ed over to the city attorney and he
has sent a communication calling The
attention of tho Madison township
authorities to he law and the decis
ions relating thereto. Il is believed
to be only another evidence of the
animosity maintained by the Madi-
son township people towards Perth
Amboy.

REGISTRATION SHOWS BIG
GAINS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
Fourth Ward Makes the Biggest
Jump Hot Fight Is On
There.
Nj EANS A BIG VOTE E.

The number of men registered in
this city is 4,457, gain of 233 over
last year. When the time limit was
reached at 8 o'clock last night it was
found that there had been a gain in
all parts of the city. The first and
third wards do not show gains, but
this fact is explained by the fact that
much territory was taken from these
two wards and placed in other wards
few months ago, so that there is in
reality gain in every district.
The fourth ward shows the re-
markable increase of 329, due to the
hot fight being waged there Both
parties hope to profit by the increase.
The size of the registration in near
ly all of the wards would indicate
that over 500 votes may be cast III
each of them next Tuesday, If more
than 600 votes are cast, ward must
be divided into two polling districts,
as the first and third wards have
been divided this year
The figures for each, ward for this
year and last year are as follows
