Several Members We're Before
Madison Township Officials
in Taxation Matter.

The representatives of the Board
of Water Commissioners of this city
went to Browntown this morning to
appear before the tax appeal commits
sioners of Madison township and
show cause why this city should not
be taxed for their property at Run
yon. The matter was argued and the
outcome was that the Madison au-
thorities agreed to take the matter
under advisement.
Those who went from this city
were City Attorney c. C. Hommann,
Engineer S. j. Mason, of the Water
Board, and Water Commissioners
w. P. O'Hara and Anton Jensen.
The meeting was held at the Town
Hall at Browntown.
The spokesman of the Madison au-
thorities said that they do not re-
gard the statute and the decision of
the supreme court in this connection
as entirely final, and that they do not
think it right to exempt Perth Am
boy. City Attorney Hommann said
that the above facts are, unfortun-
ately for Madison township, contrary
to their contention and that the SUI
preme court decided adversely for
Madison when the question arose be-
fore.
The local men arrived home early
this afternoon.

The six days fair of the Mcclellan

ranged around the side walls and the
floor was given over to dancing. An

The candy booth. in blue and yell

The souvenir postal booth, in red
and green, was presided over by Miss
May Gibbons.
The fancy booth was perhaps one
of the prettiest and was decorated in
green and white with pink and white
chrysanthemums.
The children's booth was a great
attraction and the American booth,
decorated with American flags and
bunting, was equally attractive. and
a fish pond and bagatelle made
things lively for those interested in
chance.
The fair opened last night under
most favorable auspices and the out
look for success seems assured.

CARS SMASHED
ON The VALLEY
Two Coal Trains Drilling Near
the Tunnel Met t---Trainmen
Jumped to Safety.

Two trains consisting of many
loaded coal cars, came together on
one track in the upper yard of the
Lehigh Valley railroad yesterday af-
ternoon, with the result that three
men had narrow escape from death
and two cars were reduced to kind
ling wood, while coal was scattered
in all directions.
Shortly after 3 O'Clock engine No.
1044 was pushing string of loaded
cars from the docks to the upper
yard. The forward car of the train
had just reached the outer end of
the tunnel when engine No. 1896,
also pushing train load of cars,
rounded the curve going toward the
tunnel. Before either engine could
be stopped the two forward cars had
come together.
Brakemen Jumped.
On the forward end of the first
car that engine No. 3036 was push
ing was Peter Keyerskard, brake
man. He jumped, but was not quick
enough and was caught by some of
the wreckage. He was slightly in
jured Andrew Hemeraza, also a
brakeman, was on the head end of
the forward car of the train that en-
gine No. 1914 was pushing. He
jumped and managed to escape with
a few cuts and bruises.
Conductor Michael O'Hara, of the
engine 1044 was also on the forward
car, which No. 1044 was pushing,
but escaped injury. He was about
in the middle of the car when the
crash came and had only time to
jump to one side and down into a
deep gully.
Besides the cars smashed a num-
ber of other cars jumped the track.
The wrecking crew was called out at
once. The men worked all night and
this morning all signs of the wreck
age had been cleared away.

CASE
is ON TODAY.
New Brunswick Men Accused of
Closing Polls in Fall Of
1904 on Trial.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 12:--
The trial of the four election officers
of the first poll of the Sixth ward in
this city, who failed to hold an cleo
tion in November of 1904, thirteen
months ago, was moved this morning
before Justice Dixon after the open
ing of the December term.
Attorney-General McCarter with
Prosecutor Berdine appeared for the
state and Lawyers Alan H. Strong
and Robert Adrain were counsel for
the defendants, Lawyer Strong look
ing after the interests of the two re-
publican officers, Thomas Corrigan
and William Rastall and Lawyer
Adrain the interests of James F. Dun
lap and Philip Reilly, the two demo-
cratic officers.
The whole state is watching the re-
suit of this trial. The officers dis
franchised over 500 voters by failing
to receive the votes. On election day
dispute occurred as to the Rutgers
college students voting. The election
board was divided and the votes were
/ not received. Counsel were sent for
and Lawyer Adrain advised the dem
ocratic officers to proceed with the
election. Lawyer Strong thought it
best not to hold the election because
the polls had at that time been closed
an hour and more and many voters
had lost their right to vote. The de-
PENDANTS will doubtless use the ad-
vice given as a defense to their ac-
tion.
The trial will last 1t is expected, all
day This morning number of wit
nesses were called, including the
city clerk and several Rutgers Col
lege professors, who testified that
they went to the Sixth ward poll but
could not cast a vote.
There is one Perth Amboy man on
the jury, Frank Neer.

ENGINE OFF TRACK
IN PENNSYLv YARD
Traffic Delayed and Passengers
Forced to Walk to William Street
to Get Aboard.

While the crew of the local freight
train of the Pennsylvania railroad
was at work in the State street yard
yesterday afternoon about 12.45 B
o'clock, the engine jumped the track
at William street because of new
rail which was being put in place by
a section gang. Both the front wheels
of the engine broke off and all traffic
on the line was blocked.
Because of the blocking of the
track, it was necessary for the pas
senger train to go back to Railway
and turn the engine on the siding at
that place. On all runs, until the
wrecking crew from New Brunswick
could make repairs to the freight en-
gine, it was necessary to transfer
passengers at William street, and
those who wanted to board trains
had to walk to William street.
