BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
galRA

The state of things is getting in
what we might say a desperate CON
dition in South Amboy, A respect
able woman in the borough was re-
turning to her home from the John
Street NJ. f. church last Thursday
evening after prayer meeting by the
way of the alley alongside the public
school grounds, when she was stopped
by two men and an insulting PROPOSE
ton advanced, when she, being arm
ed with several hatpins, drew n and
the rejecting in the electric light
caused them to think she had a pistol,
and one of them said, Come Jack,
she has a pistol when she said,
Yes, and | will blow your heads OFF,
when they Immediately lit out with
accelerated speed. We wish to say
for the benefit OF all persons who
would be guilty of such a dastardlS
act to be careful and not meet this
lady with any insults for the nexI
time it will not be a hatpin but a
pistol in reality, and the lady knows
how to shoot.

WANT AN ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The property wners in Borden
town avenue are preparing a petition,
to be presented at the next council
meeting, praying for some relief in
the way of an electric light to be
located about the centre of that ave
nue.. We understand the consent and
support of nearly every resident on
that avenue has been secured. 1t is
to be hoped the council will take
prompt action in this matter, as 1t is
certainly not only very i~nconvenient
but decidedly unsafe for pedestrians
traversing the centre of this street, !
being stated on some occasions THAI
people have had to take canes, UNI
brellas, etc, and feel their way in
order to prevent walking off the side
walk in the gutter.
In this connection it would UNI
doubtedly be we'll for the council to
investigate this matter as a whole, as
there are some other streets in the
town where an electric light situated
in the centre thereof would be great
ly appreciated by the people residing
thereon.

HORSE THIEVES INDICTED.

Philip Wiener and Abram Hem

Clarius, of the sub-precinct station
here, at the foot of Bentley street, in
this place, early on the morning of
November g., for stealing a horse and
buggy from Benjamin McCabe, in

charge of grand larceny and held for
trial. These are the two men who
we're arrested on suspicion of having
stolen the rig and at the time were
about to take the ferry to Perth Am
boy to dispose of it. The horse and
wagon were stolen from the stable of
Charles trimming at TAI Manhattan

MAY OPEN NEW STREET.

The matter Is being agitated for
the opening of a new street above
Feltus street, said street in contem-
plation, if opened, will pass through
grounds belonging to B. F. Howell,
Mrs. f. M. Littell, estate of w. G..
Perrine and the MaXfield and john
son properties. This, in a measure,
is the outcome of the granting of the
trolley franchise, as the line will run
in close proximity to the prospective
street, thus we see that while the
beautiful location for dwellings in
that section Of the borough has not
been doomed as it should, the eXpec-
tations are now that a trolley is about
being established it will bring the
people living there directly in
touch with the lower portion OF the
borough, and before another year
rolls around we might expect to see
many dwellings erected there. as the
lots are cheaper and the location bet
ter. The fare to Perth Amboy. where
many work, will be the same as down
town.
