HEADWAY OF
10 MINUTES.
Permanent Schedule COntem-
plated When All Single End
Cars Are On.

On account of the new trolley cars
with motor at but one end that are
now being put into service between
this city, New Brunswick and Rah-
way, the Public Service Corporation
has a 'Y" at Water street and anoth-
er "Y" at the car barns. At present
there are four of the new cars run
ming between Railway and New
Brunswick, and in 4 short time two
more will be used. The new cars
during part of the day run under
fifteen-minute headway, and when
the total number are put in service
the fifteen-minute headway may be
made continuous.
Superintendent Partain said in con-
versation with a NEWS reporter that
the new "Y' at the car barns would
be built at once. The material has
already been ordered, and in a week
or two the actual work will be start
ed. The reason the ''Y''sis to be built
is, when the new cars run in for the
night they are often facing the wrong
way for the first trip in the morning.
With the aid of the new "Y" they can
be turned and started on their route
without any delay. The cars are now
turned at the "Y" on Water street.

RUSHING WORK ON
MARKET ST. PAVING

Rapid progress is being made on
the Market street bitulithic pave
ment. Monday large gang of men
were put to work with plows and
shovels and a great change has been
already made in the appearance of
the street. The work was started at
Davidson avenue, and the entire
street, from there to Elm street is
now about ready for the concrete.
Curb has been set, sidewalks have
been raised and tagged, and with the
exception of a small strip the entire
excavating is completed. In some
places the sidewalks have been raised
almost three feet, and q few of the
houses and fences are now lower than
the roadway. Market street, west of
the railroad, had never been worked
to the established grade, and as it is
being done now, the raising of the
walks is unavoidable.
The gas company is expected to
complete laying pipes soon, and, if
possible, the Standard Bitulithic Com
pany will have Market street paved
from Davidson avenue to the Cen
tral railroad before January /. The
remainder of the street will be paved
in the spring.
Elmer Martin is the city's inspector
on the work.

George {. Carstens Disappeared
Last Friday Afternoon and Has
Not Been Seen Since.
WIFE'S CRAVE FEARS.
Carstens Was Not a Drinking Man,
And Home Life Was Perfectly
Happy-Had Complained of Pains
i'm Head and Was Going to See q
Physician--Was in His Working
Clothes When He Was Last Seen.

George %. Carstens, an employe at
the Perth Amboy Terra Gotta Works,
has been missing from his home at
Is Hartford street since last Friday
afternoon, and his wife is distracted
with worrying.
Carstens' went home from work
Friday noon as usual, and left the
house in his working clothes. Inquir-
les at the factory have developed the
fact that he went back to work after
the noon hour Friday, but left in the
middle of the afternoon. His where
abouts from that time on are a mat
ter of mystery.
He had told his wife on the previ-
GUS day that he was suffering from
peculiar pains in his head and that
he would see a doctor on the day fol
lowing, which would have been Fri
day, the day he disappeared. The
Carstens' family physician is DR.. j.
L.. Lund, Mrs. Carstens says. She says
that her husbands health has been
none too good recently and that he
was not drinking man.
Carstens has a sister in Jersey City
Heights; sister in Wakefield, r. L.;
brother, wheelwright, in Rich
mond Valley, and a brother on Beach
street. Tottenville. Mrs. Carstens
has communicated with them. Mrs.
Louisa Miller, the sister in Wakefield,
r. l., has not yetreplied, but the 9th
ers have notified Mrs. Carstens that
they have no idea as to the missing
mans whereabouts. Mr.. and Mrs.
Carstens have been married three
years.
Mrs. Carstens fears that perhaps
her husbands absence may be due to
the peculiar pains in his head, of
which he had complained, and that
harm may have come to him. He
was man of domestic temperament,
and their home life was perfectly
happy.
The police have been notified of his
disappearance.
DR.. Lund said today that Mr.. Car
stems had not visited his office Friday
nor since then. h

A BLOODLESS CONFLICT
QUEER MIX-UP TOOK PLACE.
Mayor-eiect schillinser and Street
Commissioner Gem Each Get a
Different Understanding of Matters
and Things Were Explained After
Considerable Confusion Resulted.

| There was a b1oodless conflict yes
terday between a part of the outgoing
city administration and a part of the
incoming, as a result of misunder-
standing relative to the calling off of
the street commissioners forces.
| Street Commissioner Gem in order
that the incoming Democratic forces
might start off with clean slate in
the street department, declared all
work off yesterday so that his pay roll
might be made up to date, and the
men settled with tomorrow for their
final work under his direction. Today
being the first day of the month the
work would be resumed and the pay
day would come month hence under
the Democratic supervision.
In some way the werd was passed
to Mayor-e1ect Schillinger shat the
street commissioner intended to cut
off his force entirely and let the Dem
ocratic forces begin work themselves

ment in his hands before he had taken
the oath of office, and intended to
see to it that there were no stopping
to the work. Finally the street com
missioner and the incoming mayor
met and the matter was thrashed ov-
er, each finding that the other had
been mistaken as to what was being
done and what was planned to be
done.
The street commissioner explained
that the cutting off work today was
done to accommodate the new street
commissioner giving HIM clean slate
and the mayor-elect said that he had
no intention of trying to administer
the affairs of the street cleaning de-
partment before he took office. The
difference were quickly explained and
the mayor-elect and the street com
missioner both laughed and shook
hands.

H0uSes of the Nations,

Most civilized countries take a very
reliable census of the number of build
ings within their dominions. Thus we
find that Russia heads the list III re-
spect to the number Of houses in any
country. She has 11.436, 900, or as
many as the United Kingdom and Ita-
Iy combined, for we have but 100 600
and make a poor second to France,
with its o.OS0000. Germany has about
100000 houses and Holland 12o. 600.
But in point of value we are a long
way ahead of any European power
Houses in the United Kingdom are
worth f2424.0oo, zoe, while Russia's
are only valued at f101 5000
Frances building property Is worth
Fl. T04. 100000, being about t500. 200. 900
more than Germany. The United States
is very rich in property, the value OF
her 100000 houses being set down
as E, $50 O0o.

A Wonderful Canary.

A wonderful canary bird belongs to a
family in Everett. lie little fellow
has the freedom of the house, flying
whithersoever he lsteth at all times.
While good friends with every member
Of the family, he Is particularly attach
ed to the child of the house, a little girl
four or five years old. When the child
comes where the canary is he rushes
excitedly to meet her and begins the
most frantic caresses, perching on her
head and shoulders and finally Nesting
under her ear, where he reaches round
to the rosy chin and lips and kisses
them In true bird fashion. But not
content with this ardent demonstration
he insists on making the little girl open
Ger mouth, and then he daintily taps
each tooth with his tiny beak. II she
refuses to part her lips ito see what
the bird will do" as she says, he seolds
and 1utters and even pecks at her
cheek until he finally obtains his own
way again. What the idea can be, un-
less Mr.. Canary thinks the white teeth
are bits of sugar or cuttlefish, it is diff
cult to conjecture. That he has some
method In his caprice is quite evident
To no one else does he show any such
marked attention.-Boston Herald.
