A day or two ago a well dressed
smooth looking stranger of about 4(
with one arm in a sling, went into
one of the local restaurants and got a
meal, paying for it with this bill and
receiving 1915 in change. The bill is
a very poor substitute for real money
both sides being alike. Evidently two
old bills had been split and the faces
pasted together. He is said to have
tried to pass similar stuff in other
places without success. The police are
looking for him but he has disap-
peared.

TO ADVERTISE
GORDON ST.
Board of Aldermen Decided to
Proceed With The Paving
Threw Out RemOnStranCe.

The Board of Aldermen, last night,
authorized the street commissioner
to advertise for bids for paving Cor
don street, from Rector street to
Madison avenue, with Warren btu
lithic pavement, although a remon-
STRANGE bearing thirty-four signatures
was received at the meeting. An
opinion that the remonstrance on
file was not legal was received in
writing from j. E. Stricken, counsel
for Abel Hansen and others. He de-
clared in all that ten of the sigma
lures could not stand, for various
reasons and that the remonstrance
containing all the names had but the
bare number to entitle it to consid-
GRAFTON and with ten off, it could not
hold. Anyhow the ordinance had
passed third reading. The remon-
STRANGE received last night stated
that the signers believed in COMPETE
ton. The opinion of Lawyer Strick-
er also referred to case where it
was stated that a person signing a
petition could not legally withdraw
his signature.

RAZOR PLAY
COST $25.
Emanuel Leon Came Ashore
Last Night and Got
Into Trouble.

Emanuel Leon, diminutive Span
lard, a fireman on the boat Leslie,
was placed under arrest by Patrol
man Kozusko last night and was this
morning fined $25 which he paid
from a roll of $35. His boat had sail
ed earlier in the morning and he was
told to leave town by other means.
Emanuel came ashore last night
with a razor lin his pocket, and he
drank well but not wisely. In a sa-
loon at High street and Buckingham
avenue he grew boisterous and in an
attempt to take the razor from him,
John Kiplinski was cut on the hand.
This morning Emanuel averred that
he did not know he had the razor in
his pocket when he went ashore but
he recognized it in court as his own.
He seemed surprised when told that
he had cut man during his spree.
He wand handed back his belong
ings, including $40 from his $35,
and Emanuel Leon left court a sad
der but wiser subject of Alphonso.

if anyone was to be invited it should
be the journeymen BARRIERS, A ball

Bosses and JOurneynen Give
Each Other Until Friday to
Come to Terms.

The carpenters and plumbers have
not reached an agreement with the

at a meeting between the journey

return by then they would see about
getting other men. The mechanics,
it is said, replied that they would
give the bosses until then to come to
terms an diff they did not they would
go to work out of town for good.
1t is said on good authority that
the Grouse Construction Company,
the Mercer Construction Company
and all of the local factories now
have carpenters at work. The plum

murderers are at liberty. The fright
full epidemic of homicides is unpre-
cedented and the county authorities
are at their wits ends. The whole
countryside in the southern end of
the county has been infiamed by yes
terday's horrible atrocity. With all
these horrible deeds not one has been
committed in or near this city or by
any of it's 'teeming foreign popula-
tion," so called in New Brunswick.
On Saturday, April IA, Mrs. RAJ
chel Wright, an aged resident of Old
Bridge, was found dead in the morn
ing in the house where she lived
alone Her throat was deeply gashed
and another knife had been placed in
her hand to make it appear that had
ended her own life.
On the morning of Friday, April
90 Fred Laing, twenty-three years
old, killed Katie Gordon, nineteen
years old, as she was about to board
a trolley car at Centreville, near Bon
hamtown. on the Metuchen-New
Brunswick road, shortly before z
O'Clock. He also shot at the girls
younger sisters, Mary and Rose, but
they were not injured, bullet only
grazing Mary Gordon's arm. Laing
fed to South Bethlehem, drew his
savings from the bank, and disap-
peared.
On that afternoon the Board OF
Freeholders met and authorized the
sheriff to offer reward of $500 in
each case.
The county had another shooting
affray Sunday, April 20, which IT
was thought might develop into a
murder. when Jack Mann was shot in
the groin at Lincoln. John Groom is
in the county jail accused of doing
the shooting
There have been several murder
Gus assaults. Elias Peterson,
young barber, was stabbed in the
back on Smith street, near Eagles
wood, on the night of April 20. He
is just getting out of danger. The
stabber escaped.
Tuesday night, May 1, Steve Verge,
young Hungarian, was stabbed by
John Fordor, fellow boarder, in the
house where fifteen or twenty OF
them board, at Keasbey. He was stab
bed in the back beneath the shoulder
blade. 1t is not thought there Is any
danger of the wound proving fatal,
as the knife did not penetrate the
lung. His assailant was not arrested.
About the same time another af-
fair that caused fear of developing
into murder was an assault at
Sayreville, in which Polander was
badly beaten. He is in st. Michael'a
hospital, at Newark.

WILL ASK TROLLEY COMPANY TO
PAVE AND SPRINKLE STREETS.
Ordinance Granting Franchise for
20 Years for a 'Y'' at
Smith and Wafer Sis.
BRICK is SUGGESTED.

The matter of the application for
permission to lay ''Y" at Smith and
Water streets and extensions up Wat
or street 100 feet either way, for
turning the new style of single end
trolley cars, was continued at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
last night, and the ordinance to grant
it was introduced and passed on first
reading.
According to the terms of the1ordi-
nance the permission is to be for
twenty years; the company is to
sprinkle the street and to lay ma
cadam pavement on Water street as
far as the tracks are to extend. The
sprinkling is to be done between May
1 and November l each year, the city
to supply the water.
AS the matter had been adjourned
according to law from the night of
the hearing a few weeks ago, until
East eight, Acting Mayor Pfeiffer stat
ed that the hearing was open for any
who cared to speak in the matter F.
A. Seaman said that it had occurred
to him that it would be better to have
the company lay better pavement
on Water street, 100 feet each way
way from Smith street, instead of
Telford macadam, so that the Water
street property owners when they
come to petition for pavement in
the future, would be liable to ask for
a better pavement than macadam.
He suggested brick, for instance. The
matter was then adjourned until May
81, which is the next meeting night
of the board.

NOW OWNS ALL
THE PROPERTY.
New Jersey Terra Gotta Com
pany Again Asks That Cathar-
inc Street Be Vacated.

The New Jersey Terra Gotta Com
pany again made application last
night to the Board of Aldermen for
the vacating of part of Catherine
street, for a distance of $50 feet
north of the Lehigh Valley property.
In the request the company stated
that it now owns. all of the land on
both sides of the street south of Hall
avenue and as it needs more build
ings it desires the city to vacate the
street to permit of the erection of the
buildings. The company made sim
liar application some time ago but it
was refused because of the objection
of owners of property there; and the
company was ordered to stop any
building which had been started be-
yond the line of the street, one hav-
ing been commenced within their
fence across the line of the street.
Since that time the company has
been buying, piece by piece, the prop
erty on that block, as noted in the
NEWS weekly real estate column,
until now the concern is able to step
forward as owning the property on
both sides of the block.
The petition was referred to the
committee on streets and sewers.

The authorities are at loss for
any solution of the bloody mystery
unless it was the work of gang of
murderous tramps. The murderers
evidently acted with deliberation af-
ter completing the crime, for the
place had been locked up carefully.
Then a fire had been built in one cor
ner, evidently to hide the traces of
the crime, but the fire had burned
itself out without setting fire to the
building.
The murder occurred within two
miles of Old Bridge, where less than
a month ago Rachel Wright, an aged
woman, was murdered under circfm-
stances of singular ferocity She was
sandbagged or blackjacked and then
her throat was slit with razor or
knife. Then a carving knife from
her own table was placed in her hand
to make it appear she had committed
suicide.
These two crimes, closely resem-
bling each other, have caused the
widest panic among the farmers and
residents of that section, which is as
wild in some parts as if it were a
hundred miles from civilization
The theory is advanced by some
that the murder was committed to
prevent the two victims from testi-
flying in the investigation now being
made in the Old Bridge murder case.
Clue at BrOwntown.
Residents of Browntown are OF
the opinion that a colored man nam
ed George Day might be able to shed
light on the mystery if he could be
located. Ten or more years ago he
used to frequent Whiteman's, hostel
ry until he stole a ring from them.
4 They recovered the ring and Day
threatened, it is asserted, to get even
with them some day. Following that
there were three or four robberles in
that section and the next time Day
appeared thereabonts, about eight
years ago, residents, of that section
fired some buckshot into him. He
survived, however, and in 1899 he
was arrested. on a charge of embez-
element and was sentenced by Judge
Strong to six years in prison. He
was released from prison several
months ago and is known to have
been in this state since and it is
deemed possible that he returned to
the Whiteman yesterday to claim his
revenge.
Three more bullet wounds were
found in the younger Whiteman's
body later today. All of them are in
the stomach.
