LEHIGH VALLEY r. r.
WILL STAND PAT"

The great number of employees OF
the Lehigh Valley railroad who had
been buoyed up by the recent an
nouncements of wage increases to the
employees of various railroads
throughout the country, and were
looking forward to similar good for
tune, will be very much disappointed
to learn that the board of directors
of that road met Wednesday and de-
cided not to follow the lead of the
other roads. 1t is intimated that
something may be done for the em-
ployes after the next meeting OF the
stockholders, in 1907.
The subject was taken up at the
meeting of the directors Wednesday.
1t is understood that in view OF the
small dividend on the stock the direc-
tors decided not to pay out any more
money to employees without consult
ing the stockholders.

strated by Mr., Riley.

Invaded Grounds Of Walter MuI-
IinS on MetuChen Road for
Thanksgiving Feast.
RAN WHEN OWNER APPROACHED
Intruder Noted the Approach of Mr..
Mullins and Ran OH-Was a Ne
gro of Light Complexion and Had
Firearms-His Presence Became
Known When NIillSman Heard
Shots from Direction of Hen House.

Whether the dusky game-seeke.
had a mistaken idea that the open
season allowed of the shooting of do
mestic fowl on private grounds or not
is not clearly known, but colored
man of light complexion and swift
legs invaded the domain surrounding
the dairy and home of Walter Null
Inns on the Metuchen road, short
distance beyond the city hospital, yes
terday and commenced firing in the
direction of the chicken reservation.
The sound of the shots came to
the ears of Mr.. Mullen who ran out
just in time to get a fairly good look
at the erstwhile hunter. The col
ored gentleman hought that Mr.. Null
lens footsteps sounded like "23" and
he busted away at a gait that would
make the new hundred yard record
totter on its perch.
The intruder had such good start
on the dairyman that the latter soon
gave up the idea of chasing him, and
he reported the matter to the police.
The next time that fowl-loving
darkey starts out to corral the crown
ing article for his Thanksgiving din
ner he will probably go about it more
quietly, without any firearms, and
in the time honored manner.

Matter Discussed
By South Amboy

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 24:-Judg-
ing from the facts brought out at the
meeting of the council here last
night, when the trolley ordinance
was taken up and amended in several
instances, the line between this bor-
ough and Perth Amboy depends en-
tirely upon the Hole in the Wall"
under the Pennsylvania tracks. 1t
was stated that the Hole" is now
too low and too narrow for a trolley
to pass under. Before cars can get
from this borough across the bridge,
the Hole in the Wall must be wild
ened and made higher. AS this. i,
just what the people have been fight
ing for SO many years, it is evident
that trolley connecting the two Am
boys is not as near a reality as would
appear
AT the meeting last night Borough
Attorney Pearse stated that the suit
Pennsylvania railroad to force a
change is scheduled to come up in
the supreme court next month, but
he did not believe it would be reached
before January. He further de-
clared that should the borough win
the case in that court, Alan H.
Strong. who is counsel for the Penn
sylvania railroad and who is fight
ing any change, will doubtless carry
the case to the court of errors for re-
view in which case the matter would
be tied up for several years.
Mr.. Brown, the vice president of
the trolley company, who was pres
ent, stated that he was in hopes that
If he could get this franchise, this
company and the Pennsylvania rail-
road could get together on the mat
ter and reach settlement agreeable
to all without fighting it out in the
Hole in the Wall'' must be changed
before any trolley cars can run di-
rect from South Amboy to Perth AM
boy.
The borough is to take pains TO
provide in the ordinance that it will
not guarantee the right of way un-
der the tracks as that would place
the trolley company in a position to
demand something which the Dor
ough has not yet been able to secure.
On the other hand, with the trolley
company entering the fight it makes

fendant, Peter Harri, denied he had
thrown the stone, but admitted being
one of the party of five that was MAX

ROBT. D. HoFFECKER, JE.,
Editor and Business Manager.

The failure of the Real Estate Trust
Company in Philadelphia, was caused
by placing too mnch power and author
ity in the hands of one man. The
remedy is found in making directors
direct and not leave the management
to the President, cashier, attorney or
any one man. AS means to this end
1T might help if it were made part of
the system of bank examination that
the directors should beregularly called
iGto council by the examiner, and that
they should be required to meet him
and receive his communications rather
than the executive officers of the bank.
The process is in the nature of an
audit and the directors should come to
the front and other officials step back.

There were n dead sparrows picked
up on the farm of Mr.. George Beck,
near Chestertown last Wednesday af-
ter the storm, and 30 on the Jessop
farm. At Three Oaks, Mich, the
cause of an epidemic of typhoid fever
among the 900 inhabitants was dis
covered when a member of the Board

water works standpipe and found the
bodies of several thousand young spar
rows in various stages of decomposi-
ton covering the surface of the water.
The Mayor has given instructions to
empty the standpipe, scrub aud paint
it. Hundreds of sparrows' nests were
found in ledge that runs around the
-top of the standpipe.
