LENTEN RULES
At ST. MARYS
Catholics Urged to Observe the
Period as the Church Dictates
The Collections.

Because of the death of his uncle,
Rev. B. T. O'Connell, pastor of st.
Mary's Roman Catholic church, was
called to Pennsylvania early yester-
day morning and may not return
home until the end OF the week. The
services yesterday were in charge of
Rev. Father Mahoney.
Father Mahoney read the rules for
Lent, which commences Ash Wednes-
day, the day after tomorrow. He
urged the people to try and live up to
the rules of the church in regard to
Lent He spoke especially to the
younger people who attend dances,
and asked the mto stop this as the
Lenten season lasted only forty days
and it would not be too great sacri-
flee for them.
Wednesday morning at the first
mass the ashes will be blessed and
they will be distributed in the after
noon at 3 O'Clock and in the evening
at vespers. During Lent service will
be held in the church every Wednes-
day a:;3 Friday night Father Ma
honey said he hoped to see all the
members of the congregation present
every Wednesday and Friday.
Announcement was made that all
was in order for the dance and re-
ception of the Young Ladies' Sodal-
ity, which will take place tonight, in
Wilder music hall, in Smith street.
Father Mahoney urged that all who
could should attend the event, as it
was to raise money to help pay off
the interest on the church debt, which
must soon be met. This interest is
about 81 800 and this is the only way
the church has of getting help.
At the reception tonight either Fa-
ther MahOncy or Father Hennessey
will be present. All who attend are
sure to have a fine time and it will
be great help and encouragement to
the ladies in charge to see a large
crowd present
Slips passed out at the last mass
showed the collection for the month
of February, taken up on the last
Sunday in the month, had amounted
to $3.50, and as this was more than
good, Father Mahoney thanked the
people of the congregation, on behalf
of the pastor. An appeal is being
made for help for the Indian and Ne
gro Missions and long letter from
Cardinal Gibbons, urging that some
thing be done in this matter, was
read.

BituIithiC Forces Said to Have
Had a Delegation at Newark
Again Yesterday.

A lively meeting of the Board of

and bitulithie forces has developed
into warm one and the outcome is
still in doubt.
Admitting that the majority of the
property owners along the thorough

that the bitulithic people had a dele
cation of citizens in Newark looking
at pavements again yesterday. Evi-
IDENTIFY an effort is being made to turn
the majority the other way.
Citizens who are not directly in
terested have expressed their inten-
tion of being present at tonight's
meeting. Both brick and bitulithic
representatives are in the city today
in anticipation of the coming meet
ing, when they will be out in force.

ARE PLEASED WITH
WORK AT RUNY0N.
Water Commissioners Make Free
quent Trips to the Pumping Sta
tion to Watch Progress.

If the present good weather keeps
up it is expected that the work of
building the concrete foundation and
the new pump house for the triple
expansion engine, which is to be in
stalled at Runyon will be completed
this week and the firm of Henry R.
Worthi- ~ton, which is to furnish the
engine I'd put it up, will be able to
tart work shortly.
TIE mechanics are hustling and SO
far they have succeeded - getting
well forward with the foundation,
while the building Itself is nearly en-
closed.
The Worthington people, as told in
the NEWS, asked for an extension of
time, because the water department
was back with its work and they were
granted sixty days longer in which
to get the necessary work completed.
From time to time the water COM
missioners visit the plant at Runyon
and they are well pleased with the
way the work is going forward. When
all has been completed and the pipes
connected with the suction well, the
water sent to this city will be of the
best possible.
The contractor, who is drilling the
suction well, reached a certain depth
the other day and it is understood
that he struck water. The iron shoe
was then put in and the well was
connected with a pump. In this way
he will be able to drill further so that
the flow of the water will be better.
All of the commissioners and the en-
gineer seem to think that when the
suction well has been completed IT
will be one of the best Jobs ever ham
died.

Some Of the Members of the
Board Visited Different
Streets Yesterday.
SAW GREAT SIGHTS.
Plenty of WOrkAhead-- New Health
Code and Some Rules for
TenementS.

Some members of the Board of
Health made tour of the city yes
terday to see how matters stood in
the way of sanitation. The commits
sioners believe that all should not be
left to the inspector, and they are de-
termined to learn few things for
themselves. While they will not dis
cuss the condition of affairs in crit
ical way, they shake their heads when
asked about the sanitary arrange
ments and say that it cannot be ex-
pected that they should do everything
all at once, but they are going to
make a start and accomplish as much
as they can.
Pigs were seen, but there were also
some houses, according to the COM
missioners, which were as much of
disgrace as the pens, and it would be
an injustice to the pigs to abolish the
one without cleaning out the other.
the commissioners have plenty of
work ahead. People seem to think
there is new life in the board and
they have been sending in their petit
tions right merrily.
The board is at work on new SAN
itary code for the city and expects to
have it in force shortly
After the inspection, yesterday, one
of the members said it was planned
to have short rules on sanitation
printed in all the different languages
and tackled in the Railways of the
tenements so that people of all ma
tionalities can understand them and
be better able TO obey them.

Woodbridge township has at last
awakened to the fact that Carteret is
about to become a borough, separat-
ing and carrying large amount of
taxes away from the township. The
opposition is strongest in the village
OF Woodbridge itself and delega-
ton is going to Trenton to oppose the
bill creating the borough before the
senate. 1t is understood that the
principal argument of the Wood
bridge people is that they have kept
taxes down at Carteret and allowed
the rest of the township to pay pro-
portionately more, so as to get the
big manufacturing plants along the
sound, and now that Carteret has
these, she wants to cut loose from the
township and reap all the benefit of
these industries herself
Several petitions are out, signed
by persons holding Woodbridge town
ship bonds, opposing the borough, on
the grounds that it makes these
bonds less valuable.

Woodbridge. Has Asked for a
Hearing Before The Senate and
Date Has Been Fixed.
VlIllilooF TItr rAvrO
Bill Went Through the Assembly
Without Opposition Under
hand Work Is ALLEGED.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

TRENTON, Feb. 26.-Before the
Crowther bill Incorporating the bor-
ough of Roosevelt, Middlesex county,
gets on the Jersey statute books, it
is likely to meet a more strenuous
time than was anticipated. The bill
went through the assembly with bells
on, and without a word of objection
being registered against it. 1t is now
III the hands of the senate committee
on boroughs and townships, of which
Senator Wakelee is chairman. The
committee has been notified that
Acre is objection to the bill, and that
a hearing was desired. The commit
tee has responded by giving notice of
a public hearing on the measure in
the senate chamber at noon tomor-
row.
Considerable wonderment is being
expressed in this city because it is
said that those who are going 10 OPP
pose the passage of the bill through
the senate charge that there has been
underhanded work in connection with
the measure. Senator Jackson, par
ticularly is surprised. Those familiar
with legislation, in this city, are una
bic, they say, to see where there has
ever been an attempt at under hand
work. 1t is claimed, with emphasis,
that every proper and legal prelimi-
nary was attended to before the bill
was passed by the assembly. 1t is
claimed that the legal notice was ad-
vertised and every other step looked
after
1t is also pointed out that plenty of
time was taken by the house commit
tee before the bill was reported. 1t
was pending in the hands of the COM
mittee some time, had been written
up in the papers, and given publicity
in other ways. The committee, it is
claimed, only decided to report the
measure after it was found that no
opposition had appeared.
1t is understood that the opposition
to the bill will come from residents
of that portion of the township which
will not be incorporated in the new
borough. William Edgar will lead the
delegation which will come to this
city tomorrow to attack the passage
of the bill. The advocates of the new
law say the objection is being raised
only to delay the formation of the
new town. There is every indication
that lively fight will be on hand be-
fore the committee tomorrow.
