TOO MANY PROGRAMMES
Enterprising Publishers Bury
the Parks Under Advertis-
ments of Their Popular
Music.

There is considerable complaint about
the scattering broadcast of programmes
for the free concerts at the various
parks These programmes are printed
free by New York music publishers who
see an opportunity to advertise new
songs and airs played and sung at the.
concerts. Superintendent Mccarthy, of
the Parks. has laid the matter before the
Street and Water Board. At first the
liberality of some wide-awake publisher
in printing and distributing the pro-
grammes free was rather appreciated,
as most persons to whom the program
mes We're given reserved them as SOU
venirs. but the matter is being oyerdone
and the parks are foNnd next morning
covered with these advertising program
mes.
Park Superintendent Mccarthy says
Columbia Park was almost buried be-
meath an avalanche Of the programmes
complained of after last nights meeting
These contained on the back great big
red heart inscribed with the title of a
well-known popular song. Chief Murphy

an end to what was even then becoming
nuisance and Inspector Archibold, as

more stringent efforts would be made to
suppress the nuisance. even if arrests

dered at Carlton Avenue
Determined Official Des-
cription Sent Out

The police, though working hard on
the case of the murdered man found Sun
day morning at the foot of Carlton ave-
nue., have not been able to solve the mys
terry. Of the hundreds who have viewed
the body none has been able to recog
nize it, The man appears to have been
a stranger in Jersey City. All that the
police have been able to learn positively
is the mans nationality. They say he is
an Armenian. Italian, Greek and Rus
sian priests are puzzled over the alleged
scapular found around the dead mans
neck and some of them are ihchned to be-
lieve that it is an Armenian charm.
though embellished with a motto in Ital-

out the following description of the dead
man to the police department. of this sec
ton of the country
"On Sunday morning, August g. at day
breay, the dead body of man, presum-
ably an Armenian, was found in a lonely
place in this city. Death was caused by
wounds on the head and b5dy, inflicted
by hatchet, such as lathers, use in their
work. A knife, made in Italy, was also
used by the murderer. So far the deceas-
ed remains unknown to us, although tho
sands have viewed the body.
From the dress. general appearance,
and the hands of the deceased, there is
no doubt the man did not engage in rough
work, as his hands are soft. and his fin
ger nails clean and well kept. He had
long piece Of cord in his pocket that may
have been used to tie up Il bundle, or
possibly to carry bananas with. De

In regard to the Bloomfield annexa-

"Colby, you must vote for this bill"
How the Major came to him while he
was lunching with the chairman of the
committee that had the bill in hand and
made an implied threat to force him to
support the measure was related by Mr..
Colby.
'The major he said, "put his face

Service attorney had it introduced
The Major was further charged by Mr..
Colby with turning somersault on the
principle of FIVE years interval be-
tween elections on annexation and of
trying to deceive the people with regard
to Mr.. Golby's position on that question.

FIVE years interval"

CRASH ON PENNSY
Special Excursion Train
From Trenton to the
Shore Collided With a
Freight Train.
Special to "The Jersey city News,

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News")
TRENTON, August 10, 19o5.-The
Pennsylvania RailroadCompany especial
Wednesday excursion train to the sea
collided with freight train last night
while returning on the homeward run.
Fourteen coaches filed with passengers,
most of whom We're from this city. COM
prised the passenger train. but none of
the occupants was injured.
The accident happened at Jamesburg
at about 8.15 and the passengers had
notice of something unusual by the sud-
den application of the emergency brakes.
The train was being stopped quickly
when the crash came.
The freight was standing on the track.
Its eaboose was derailed, one end be-
ing reared high in the air.
The pilot of the engine of the pas
senger train was destroyed and the en-
gine otherwise disa bled
John Dryer, of Jamesburg, was the
rear brakeman of the freight He stated
that he went back with the red lantern
to warn the passenger train and that
the engineer disregarded his signal
The freight was an extra, and the
passenger train was also an extra. 1t
made up at Philadelphia. Eleven of the
coaches We're occupied by persons from
Trenton
The passenger train was going fast
when the brakes were put on and while
the passengers We're not little startled
vet there was no semblance of a panic.
1t was quite some time after the train
had stopped that it became generally
known that the two trains had met.
The shock of the collision gave several of
the passengers a severe shaking up, but
the effect was simply for the moment
The excursionists were delayed at
Jamesburg for about three hours. Many
Of the passengers sent word to their
homes announcing their safety.
A wrecking crew from Jamesburg re-
moved the caboose, and fixed up the
passenger engine. which steamed slowly
to Monmouth Junction. where a new en-
gine was brought into use.
The train arrived in this city at 11:4O
and there was large crowd of friends
and relatives at the station to greet the
excursionists. Many of the welcoming
party refused to be calmed by the state
ments of the railroad officials that no
one was hurt and they whiled the hours
away wearing very long faces. One
woman deliberately told the ticket agent
that he told an untruth when he said
that everything was all right. She add
ed that she knew how these railroad men
lie in case like this.
The passengers had nothing but praise
for Engineer Harker, who kept his head
and his post.
He was in the crisis of his life and the
work to be done was in few moments.
Fortunately his train was not running at
full speed. A less cool headed man
would have put on the emergency brake,
the full power of the air mechanism, and
perhaps buckeled the train little short
of point of collision.

Assemblyman Everitt Colby, in his
speech at Shutte's Hall. Bank and Rut-
gers streets, Newark, last night, an
swered a challenge made by Major
Lentz defying him to name single in
stance where the Republican organiza-
tien of Essex asked him to support
corporation measure.
Mr.. Colby retorted by saying that
Major Lentz himself had tried. even in
an Objectionable manner, to get him to
vote fer the Bloomfield annexation bill,
Waich Mr.. Colby said he knew to be of
corporation parentage. The Major, he
said, not only Went to him and asked
him to support the measure, but brought
Bloomfield men to him, representing that
they were good Republicans and CON
tributors to the party and wanted the
bill passed.
After his fat refusal to vote for the
bill Mr.. Colby declared that Major Lentz
came to him again while he was at din
ner and urged him with an implied
threat TO change his mind. Mr.. Colby
again refused to support the measure
In reply to Major Lentz's statement
that Mr.. Colby voted for and supported
the most vicious corporation measure
ever introduced, and known as the stwen-
~ per cent. bill,' Mr.. Colby said the
Major told only half truth, and his
statement was misleading and unfair.
7 did vote for the bill the first year +
was in the Assembly said Mr. Colby,
'but refused fatty to vote for it when
it was reiEtroduced the second year, after
