that trouble will be the result for it
is understood that the carpenters will

About three years ago the carpen-
ters asked for an increase of wages
and, after a short strike, the bosses
gave in and an agreement for three
Years was signed. This was to -the
effect that the men were not to ask
for any increase in wages during that
time or to make any trouble because
of dissatisfaction. The carpenters
have lived up to this faithfully and it
is understood that they will give the
bosses plenty of time to think over the
matter in regards to the new scale
of wages that they want, but it is re-
ported that the bosses are of the opin-
ion that the men are receiving pay
enough and will refuse them.

THREE OWNERS
IN TWO DAYS
High Street Saloon Had Only
Bottles Filled With WaterWhen
First Man Took Charge.

During the past two days at the sa
loon at 307 High street, in the build
ing owned by Thomas Kelly there
has been three different owners and
how they get licenses so quick is a
mystery.
During the past three years John
Kost has kept saloon at High and
Washin gton streets, but lately he has
desired to sell out. When an out-of-
town man catnt along the other day
and made him an offer, it is said that
he accepted: The stranger, it is
understood, paid 5000 for the place
When he opened up yesterday morn
ing, according to reports, he found
that all of the bottles behind the
counter, instead of being filed with
liquors, we're filled with water. In the
cellar were three large casks and these
were also filled with water The new
owner did not like this very much
so he packed up and left.
This morning another man, John
iIeckler. of New Brunswick, took
charge of the place. When NEWS
reporter called at the saloon this
morning he found Mr.. Heckler at
work cleaning up the place. Mr..
Heckler said that he was now in
charge and would conduct the place.
When asked if he had license he re-
piled that he had. The nlace looked
as if it had been well cleaned out for
hardly bottle OF flask could be seen.
The police havs a record OF all
license granted, but they could not
find Heckler's name on the list
1t is understood that the Union
Brewing Comp ny. of Elizabeth, Mr..
Brady agent is the hacker of the
saloon.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 16:--
For four hours, with an intermission
of possibly fifteen minutes, Arthur
Il. Sandford, OF the firm of Sandford
& Harris, was under the cross-exam-
ination fire OF Lawyer Willard p.
Voorhees, at the Amboy bridge hear
ing yesterday He was asked all
about tho details of the build
ing of the bridge AID when the hear
ing was adjourned from the day at
2.30 o'clock after a continuous ses-
sion from 1880 O'Clock yesterday
morning Mr.. Sandford was still
testifying and is to be further
questioned upon the continuing
of the matter from one week from
next Monday. The lawyers are all
engaged in the courts next week with
the result that the Amboy bridge in
vestigation remains quiet.
Captain John j. Ford, of South
Amboy, was called during the day
and after Mr.. Sandford had been call
to the stand. This was the only break
in the testimony, giving on his part
Captain Ford was called to tell about

Many Petty Spats.
Much of the time WAS spent while
Mr. Sandford was on the stand in pet
ty spats' between the cross-examiner
and the witness when the contract
or didknot seem to arrive at the con
clusion the lawyer was after in reply
to his questions. The witness feared
the lawyer was trying to get some
advantage over him and frequently
told the lawyer he knew what he was
driving at, but did not think he had
got it as he wanted it.
The construction of the draw was
one of the chief points tackled by
Lawyer Voorhees,. Contractor Sand
ford had testified he contracted fol
e for $33, 1000. He was asked to
produce his original estimate for this
work and said he never put down ir
books anything that might lose and
others, finding it, know as much az
he did. He had made the contract
with Wynkoop & Braley. 1t was a

pecial to the Evening News:

Special to the Evening News:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 16:-
Mrs. William F Perrine, of Gran
bury. brought to the attention of the
delegates at the annual county con-
yention of the Womens Christian
Temperance Union held here in the
First Presbyterian church yesterday,
In effort to have two hotelkeepers
in her town comply with the law and
how the courts had thwarted them in
their efforts.
Mrs. Perrine stated that it was
known by the w. G. T. U. of her
town that liquor was sold at these
hotels on Sunday, that it was sold
to minors, that the proprietors did
not have the required number of leg
al signers to their applications, some
Of the signers being dead and some
not property owners.
She said the union sent man to
the judge year ago when the lic-
9nses were to be granted and he saw
the judge about the matter. She de-
slared the judge told this man that
a protest would do no good and only
1elay the matter for a while as these
hotels had always been granted and
hey always expected to grant them.
Mrs. Perrine asked Mrs. Emma
Bourne, the state president, what the
union could do in case like that to
which Mrs. Bourne replied that the
Judge would not live for ever, intim-
ating that there was hope.
Mrs. Perrine's remarks followed an
address made at the afternoon ses-
sion by Mrs. Bourne in which she
gave some good advice to local presi-
dents and conducted social hour.
She advised the unions to have plenty
of literature on hand and pledges
as tracts always came in handy.
Boycott the Stores.
The state president declared /,
was not right for members of the
union to patronize stores where liq-
uor was sold. All saloonkeepers re-
spected the members of the union,
but not the people who purchased
liquor at these stores and had it
charged up as merchandise.
She also urged that weekly meet
ings be held no matter how few
members were present. When the
president was absent vice-president
should act Each union should have
a vice president from each church.
All denominations should be interest
cd in the union. 1t should not be
4 Methodist union or a Presbyterian
nion but one representing all
churches. The vice president was sup
posed to bring in members from the
church they came from.
Mrs. Swain, president of the local
union, did not see how the weekly
meeting could be held when there
was not a quorum present She said
she had attended a meeting once
when she was the only one there and
a meeting could not be held under
such circumstances. Mrs. Bourne
said that was an exception to the
rule.
Always Have Funds.
When the unions get out of funds
means to provide more should be
considered. The members should
not fold their hands and wait for 1t
to come in. Mrs. Fisher, the county
president, asked what course should
