ERIE ENGINE EXPLODED

A ponderous locomotive steaming anu
,,f1;no away ON side track in the Erie
Railroad yard at Pavonia avenue and
Rarnum street at $50 O'Clock last night
exploded. There were a number OF men
in the vicinity at the time, but along with
aba engineer and firemen they scampered
TO places of safety when the big hauling
machine began to make not only unusual
but hideous noises.
These men watched the explosion,
which they describe as a mighty one.
The noise was heard six or eight blocks
nm Payonia avenue The kissing of the
stream was deafening block away. Fly
ing pieces of steel, brass and iron We're
hurled in every direction, but, fortunate
dy. no one was hurt. The escape of the
engineer and fireman was narrow. They
had inst reached shelter when the ex-
plosion occurred.
The car was standing near Pavonia
avenue. along which pedestrians at all
hours of the day and night travel. The
locomotive was a wreck.

Colonel Dickinson wants the Governor
to name two organization Republicans TO
sit with James E. Connolly, who will be
the Democratic member Thus far the
Governor has held out for the appoint
ment of one Faganite and one Dickin-
son man. This is the reason why the
Board has not been announced. Colonel
Dickinson is exerting all his influence to
keep the Faganites from getting repre-
sentation. as he feels that if the Mayor
is allowed to name one Of the two Re
publican appointees it will weaken the
organization. Fire Commissioner Stef-
fens is the man whom the Faganites are
backing. If by any chance he should
fail to land the County Commissioner
ship re will be put in the local tax board
in the place of Edgar Bacon, who re-
signed without saying good word for
the administration.

BIsONS STUNC
BY SKEETE
Jersey City Keeps Up Fine
Playing and Takes the
First Game From Buffalo
ONLY ONE OTHER GAME PLAYED
ROCHESTER, WON A FAST GAME
FROM MISUNDERSTANDING
OF THE CLUBS.

The Skeeters stung the Bisons almost
to death yesterday. When the Beasts
appeared at West Side Park yesterday
proud of the fact that they occupied the
top of the heap, the stinging Jersey in
sects lit on 'em and came very near
driving 'em off. As it stands to-day the
Skeeters are only twelve points behind
in occupying the top of the heap. They
came within an ace of shutting the Buff
faloes out in yesterdays contest. but the
latter succeeded in getting one of their
herd over the plate in the last inning.
Nearly 5000 enthusiastic rooters welcom-
ed the team home after it's brilliant string
of victories abroad. For any other day
than Saturday. half holiday-this is
considered very large attendance. The
Skeeters lit on Kissinger for nine bites,
counting a total of fourteen bases. On
the other hand, Mack, who was on the
slab for Jersey City, was only kicked
four times Not one of them reached
him until the seventh inning. They got
az couple of kicks in the eighth inning
and one in the ninth, but had it not been
for Hanford's muff of McConnelfs long
fly Mack would have been credited wNh
a shut out.
The Skeeters won the game in the first
inning, making trio of tallies. Clement
went out on a foul fly. Bean hit to left
and with his usual propensity for pur-
loining sacks he stole second. Hanford
sent up balloon that landed in the right
garden. Farmer Baden ran after it. but
failed to anchor it. Meanwhile Bean
sprinted home. Hanford reached second.
Merritt hit to left and ON Murray's muf
Hanford tailed. Keister made a two
bagger that scored Merritt. Thus early
in the game the enthusiastic fans found
themselves witnessing a game of "Ring
Around the Roses" In the second in
ming the Skeeters scored again ON Woods
single, Mack's sacrifice, Clements out
at first and an error by Mattress of
Beans bunt. Hanford1s base ON balls In
the third, Merritt's sacrifice and Keis-
ter's safety added another tally. The
lSkeeters also tailed in the seventh and
eighth. In the eighth Hanford sent out
a three-bagger and scored on Merritt's
single.
The score:-

FIREMEN FIGHT THE FLAME
MERCHANDISE BLOWN IN ALL
DIRECTIONS MENACEs LIVES
THOUSANDS SEE THE BLAZE

Much excitement prevailed last night
in the lower section of the city over sew
eral explosions that occurred one after
another. A few moments later a still
alarm was sent in. No. / Engine Com
pany quickly responded. 1t was found
that freight car standing on the tracks
at Greene and First streets. had caught
fire from explosions of carboys filed with
vitriol, which had set the car on FIRE,
Charles Gordon. freight agent, who had
lost an arm in the Pennsylvania Railroad
service, was leaning against the car when
the first explosion occurred. The side Of
the car blew out and Gordon's head was
blown from his body. He fell down and
his head was found resting upon his
chest. The merchandise was hurled in
all directions.
Firemen fighting the flames after the
car was set on fire We're obliged to dodge
flying missiles One Of the missiles
grazed the head of Captain Roger Doyle,
of No. l Engine Company. He saw it
coming and ducked just in time. All the
merchandise slowed away in the car was
destroyed and the woodwork was con-
sumed Nothing was left but the trucks
and wheels. As soon as the fire broke
out in the ill-fated car brakemen uncou-
pied the other CARS and they were pulled
away by drill engines. AT least thou
sand people witnessed the spectacle OF
the fremen fighting the blazing car.

for the purpose of making a final appeal
to Gov. Stokes not to appoint Pagan
Republican on the new County Board OF
Equalization of Taxes The Colonel in
sists that to give the Faganites repre-

putting a premium on bolters. He de-

this fact alone they should not be given
any recognition.

the tons and tons of weight settled down
the less stable meadows rose on the sides
until in places the former level meadow
ridged up to a height Of three to six feet,
making the kork still more difficult,
Small creeks, left open because of rul-
ings of the government engineers that
they We're nayigable, were filed by the
bulging meadow, and at one time 200
carts We're in use clearing the channels.
About this time the tremendous ex-
pense of the work began to tell on the
finances of the men who were handling
the opedation, and work was stopped to
allow of Strengthening out the tangle.
According to men interested in the work
this has now been successfully done to
the satisfaction Of all concerned. and
there is promise that the road will even
tually be finished unless there shall prove
to be no discoverable bottom to the. bog
which has caused the trouble.
Before the agreement was reached,
however, public interest in the delay had
caused several warm sessions in which
contractors, bondsmen and members of
the country board of freeholders quarred-
ed acrimoniously over the matter in hand.
The latest devlopement came just before
the death of Road Commissioner Budd,
when he informed the officials that no
more state money would be granted At
lantic County until the boulevard was
finished, This action, acting as a stimu-
lus, brought matters to climax, and re-
suited in what the people hope will be
final AGREEMENT to build the road what
ever the cost.
"You can say for me that we will fin
ish that road if we have to fill in to
China said Captain John Hess, head
of the contracting firm. The captain is
rugged appearing man, of strong per-
sonality, and has a knowledge of re-
clamation methods second to none in the
country. Continuing he said:
mo job in all my years of work with
dredges has ever puzzled me like this
one, but / don't intend it shall get the
best of me. From the time we sud
been worrying and studying to find a
way out, but at last believe that it is
simply a question: of pumping sand until
we strike sure bottom Alerady over
million cubic yards of sand and the
greater part of my private fortune have
been thrown into that hole, and if as
much more is required, s.all right. You
called upon to assist in the work by fur
if the people will give US time the boule-
ward will b completed if it takes every
dollar I have in the world.'
Since making his statement Captain
Hess has "madegood" by starting the
big dredges to work and beginning the
laying of track to carry trainloads of
gravel for topping off the raod. 1t is the
opinion of engineers that the quagmire
is losing some if its former elasticity
and the men with their big machines may
yet win victory even if it is a costly
one.

Mayor Fagan's Hoboken organ says
that the liquor license fee will be in
creased from $3.50 to $500, in accordance
with the Mayors wishes and it explains
that unless the members vote the right
way they will have to get out Of the
Board. This is nothing new. Every man
appointed to Office by Mayor Pagan must
"vote right or he will find himself in
trouble. The Mayor doesn't take any
chances. He has the resignation of every
Commissioner whom he appoints, and as
soon as Commissioner incurs the
Mayors displeasure his term of office
ends abruptly. This is the way reformers
play politics. They never take any the
worst of it.

Thomas Durkin is again in the race
for the Second Criminal Court Clerkship.
Forest Heath, his sponsor. says he is sat
;sfed that there is no truth in the charges
that have been made against his protege
and which caused Durkin to withdraw
from the race 1t isn't known what
Mayor Fagan's cabinent thinks about the
matter. Durkin's chances from all ac-
counts have not improved. The dozen
other applicants for the appointment,
each of whom is basing his claims on the
services rendered Mayor Pagan at the
last election. are still on the job. No
matter who lands the place, there is
bound to be trouble, and it would not be
surprising if the Tenth Ward Fagan
Club disbanded as a result of the bitter
contest that has been waged for the ap-
pointment.

and it looks very much as if the predic-

his candidacy for reelection to the

issued an address to the people of the
