GIVES POETRY.
Or. CrOwther Tells What a Fine
Man the Boss Is and Ham,
merS Senator Colby.
OTHERS AIM FIRE AT RECORD.
Haney and Jackson Did Not Tell
the People About Things They
Would Most Like to Hear.

The republican machine" held a
public meeting last night in Wash
ington hall, but the voters failed to
appear as they did for the several
Fordyce meetings which have been
held in this city during the past
month or two A great many of the
chairs were vacant, and If all stand
ing in the rear of the hall, had been
seated, the hall would not have been
full.
There was little enthusiasm mani
tested. The audience contented
themselves with applauding once in
a while.
Praise for the Boss.
South r. harrington presided. Dr.
Frank Crowther was the first speak
er, and after announcing that he in
tended to throw no mud he proceed
ed to smear Senator Colby up pretty
well and devoted the rest of his time
in trying to persuade the audience
that Dory Strong was one of the
greatest American patriots that ever
lived. There was nothing too nice
for Dr. Crowther to say about the
boss of the county.
The speakers avoided the direcr
issues of the campaign and Senator
Hillery, of Morris county, and Assem-
blyman Barber, of Mercer county, di-
rected their remarks chiefly toward
praising Senator Jackson and ridi-
culing and haranguing Senator Colby
and George l.. Record.
Senator Jackson, Dory Strong's
candidate for denomination, spoke in
brief, but avoided answering Col
Fordyce's arguments, and did not tell
what he would do if reelected. He
used his verbal hammer on Charles
A. Bloomfield and ended up with
three or four pretty lines of poetry.
Senator Jackson and the other dis
tinguished gentlemen are not feel
ing at all sore in the right hand to-
day because of people in the audience
shaking hands with them after the
meeting.
The Procession.
The procession to the hall from
the Odd Fellows building showed
no more in line than the Fordyce
Republican Club had on the previous
night. Lieutenant" George J. Ha-
ney carried a stick of red fire the
same as the "privates, and was in
the last line of the procession along
most of the route, presumably to
hi in Ii,,1 =
none dropped out. The lieutenant"
was distinguished by straw hat,
although September Is is past, ac-
cording to authoritative calendars.
A meeting will be held at New
Brunswick tonight, at which Senators
Hillery and Jackson and Assembly
men Barber and Crowther will speak

JUST MISSED
The HORSES.

Car No. III, driven by Motorman
Buckley was going down Smith street
at full speed yesterday afternoon, the
tracks being seemingly clear. Just-
as the car reached High street,
large truck came around the corner
into Smith street. Bystanders held
their breath, expecting to see the
team of horses killed and the wagon
smashed The motorman threw ON
the brakes and reversed the power
at once, causing puff of smoke to
come from beneath the car. In spite
of his efforts, the car could not be.
stopped, and was almost on the truck
when the driver, James Henderson,
with a mighty pull on the reins, sue
ceeded in turning the horses into the
curb, just as the car went by, within
an inch of the truck.

BY A FALL.
Woodbridge Man In Serious Con-
ditiOn As Result of Accident
at SeWaren.

George Metche, about twenty-five
years old, of Woodbridge, was
brought to the city hospital here late
night with broken back ana fears
are entertained for his recovery. He
was at work at the Vulcan DEFINING
Companys plant at Sewaren and fell

about ten feet. A support had been

was summoned. The injured man
was brought to the hospital in the
Perth Amboy ambulance. He is un-
married. He is under DR. j. L..

port Made by Engineer Mason
on the Matter.
METERS ARE OUT OF ORDER.
Superintendent Says They Are Not
Working Right and Suggests that
Others be Substituted.

Bids for building well house and

Three bids were received for the
for $2,349 55 being the lowest Mar

Dkidrickson figures were $2,490.
The sewer contract was not awarded,
and the bids were referred to the
committee of the whole. The board
meets again on Friday night at which
time the contract will be given out.
All bidders on the sewer were re-
quired to furnish a certified check
for 500, and when Clerk Eckert op-
ened Mr.. Hanson's bid, he noticed
that the check was for $1,000. The
contractor, who was present at the
time, was told of the error, and he
at once asked permission to have a
500 check in the place of the pres
ent one. The board granted the re-
quest, and the errors will be rectified
at the bank today
Meters Fail to Register.
, superintendent Burns reported
that three OF the Gem water meters
that were in service at the present
time are not registering the amount
of water that passes through them,
and recommended that they be ex-

ed that he had written to the Nep-
tune, National and Worthington COM
panies in regard to having them eX-
changed. Replies from the Neptune,
National and Worthington companies
were then read. The concerns quot
ed prices on a new supply of meters,
which totalled about $4,000.
The matter was referred to the
committee of the whole.
