Dear Sir-We understand that the
city of Perth Amboy has ~petitioned
your commission for its approval of
a sewer they propose to construct inn
certain streets of Perth Amboy, one
of which is Sheridan street.
We beg to state that our works,
for the manufacture of vaseline, face
on the west of Sheridan street, anda
extend along 1t to the Raritan river;
therefore, the sewer would empty in
to the river alongside of our proper
ty. We would further state, while
the sewer will be OF no benefit what
ever to us, as we have natural drain-1
age on our property, we do not OBJ
ject to the construction of the sewer
provided it is properly built and car
ried out sufficiently far into the river
SO as to prevent odors arising FROM
the sewage, and to provide that the
discharge from the sewer shall be
carried away by the deep water of
the river.
We would further state that while
The channel of the river is about 500
feet out from the shore line, at this
point. the sewer should be carried
certainly out to it, as between the
shore and the channel there is very
little flow Of the tide.

ANNA GOULD'S BARGAIN.

All the sympathy Anna Gould is entitled to in her
present divorce troubles in France could be displayed to
advantage on the point of needle The best that can
be said of her is that she made bad bargain IN buying
Casteane for that all the marriage amounted to- Inc
bonds that held the pair together were merely com
mercia exchange of American money for French title
No man in the United States was good enough for the
daughter of Jay Gould, the Wall street pirate. What
she required and desired something with title 50
she went into the market and bought French PROPOSE
ton Millions of good American unconstitutional
tainted with stock manipulation crookedness IN its ac-
quirement by the Gould famly-have been squandered
in an effort to make the bargain good; in ing orious
and unworthy endeavor to make man out OF a titled
Gbertine.
But the enterprise Anna Gould's own choosing.
The money wasted was her money. She went shopping
for title and sold herself and fortune for it. She en-
patrated herself in order to live up to the deal Now
that she has been beaten and abused and betrayed
concern of Americas She belongs to Paris and CaSel
lane and the reward she has earned is a perpetuaon
of the unholy bond by which she dsgraced the sacred
name of marriage. Every American girl who follows
her example deserves nothing better The sale of Ameri
can heresses to broken down, degenerate foreign title
is standing disgrace to this nation. The only
hope of remedy to be the sort of treatment and
publicity that Anna Gould has acquired.

times was the boiling of Hearst.

in that momentous action McCar-
rem did not talk much. He applied
to Hearst some of the hardest
words in the language and openly
and forcibly announced that the
Brooklyn democratic organization
was 'agin' the editor candidate.
What Hearst has said in his papers
in reply is another story.
McCarren's action caused great
surprise. 1t was taking a regular
party organization from a regular
party candidate. Besides it SEEM

Hearst following in Brooklyn. AS

Hearst and his fellow candidates

When the bolt was announced

McCarren kept his feet solidly on
the ground. He is, as always, the
most serene player in the game. Sc

LAWYERS WRANGLE

MOTION FOR BALL RESISTED BY THE SOLICITOR-WAS THE CASE PASSED OR CONTINUED ON No- VENEER 12?

Yesterday was the day appointed to hear the motion made by Richard Wray asking for bail. The prisoner is confined in the county jail. charged with the murder of George Freeman, in the house of Marie Martin, on South Twentieth street last spring.
 From the statements made by witnesses in court yesterday if appeared that the defendants trial was set for November 12, and that Marie Martin, a state wit ness, was absent at that time, and that the case was continued but whether Ut the instance of the state or the defend- ant was uncertain.
 Defendants attorneys argued that the case had been continued by the state, and that consequently the defendant, accord ing to the law, was entitled to bail. Tie state, represented by Solicitor Heflin and Attorney Beddow. was equally an insN- tent that the case was continued at the request of the defendant. The docket was introduced to prove the entry made at the time the case was called, and it served to shed very little light upon the mat ter
