CAR STALLED 9 HOURS,
Axle of Trolley Broke at State and
Chauncey Streets.

One of the axles on trolley car No.
1853 broke in half last night near
Chauncy street as the car was trav-
cling south, and the car was stalled
from $40 last night until o'clock
this morning. Traffic was delayed
for about fifteen minutes, as cars fol-
lowing the accident drew up to the
wrecked car and transferred their
passengers. This method was resort
ed to until 1 O'Clock when cars
ceased running. Superintendent Par
tain deemed it more advisable to de-
lay repairs until the service was
stopped, as the workmen would not
then be interfered with.
About | o'clock wrecking crew
from Milltown arrived, and with the
assistance of the local crew conf
menced to repair the car. The work
was very tedious. One motor had to
be removed, and the work of repair
ing lasted for nearly four hours.
About O'Clock this morning the task
was completed and the car ran to the
car barns under it's own power.

One After Entering Through
Window.
OVERLOOKED PURSE AND, RING.
Forced Window in Primary Room
and Found Keys and Thus Gained
Access to Rooms and Desks-Pu-
pills Kept Outside Pending Search
by Police EARLY This Morning.
Skipped Desk in Room No. 10

After gaining entrance through a
window in one of the primary rooms
at school No. 2 on State street last
night. thieves ransacked every room
in the building, and secured some
change and number of small ar
ticles.
The thieves, it Is thought, with a
stick lowered the upper sash of the
window. and then sprung the latch.
The window could have easily been
opened as the upper part of the win
dow has no fastenings. In some
way the thieves discovered small
bunch of keys and then proceeded to
make a systematic. search of every
desk except that of Miss Smea ton
whose class occupies room No. 10.
In their operations, however, the
thieves missed a pocketbook contain
ing small sum of money in Principal
Hulses room, and gold ring and
fancy tidy in room No. IL. The Of
flee was also ransacked by the
thieves, who are thought to have
been large boys or men. us Principal
iluioe says IL WOuiu nave uooil lulpOS
sible for small boys to have gained
an entrance to the building.
When 1t was discovered that the
school had been robbed, this morning.
the police were notified at once, and
the pupils were not allowed into the
building until all the rooms had been
examined by the officers. Chief Burke
is working on the case and If the
thieves are caught they will be se-
verely punished.
Principal Hulse said that all the
absent pupils are being watched to-
day, as it is possible that the rob
berry may have been committed by
some of the pupils, although that is
hardly believed.
This school has been entered sew
eral times, but the miscreants have
never been caught.

Central Jerseys Trolley AppIica-
ton Favored, but Matter Was
Laid Over Until Dec. 2S.
PRoPERTy-,owHsRs' CONSENT.
Lawyer George S,SSilzer Appeared for
the township of Sayreville, and f.
Nj. p. Pearse Was Counsel for the
Traction Company, and Lawyer
Coan Appeared for Some Sayreville
Property Owners--Favor Franchise
speciai to the EVENING NEWS:

SAYREVILLE, Dec. 14:-The Cen
tral Jersey Traction Company,
through its council, F. M. P. Pearse,
of South Amboy, asked the Sayreville
township committee, at public hear
ing last night, for twenty-year
franchise to run their tracks, from
the South Amboy borough line across
the road owned by the township Of
Sayreville to the county bridge
The 'heaging, which had been post
poned from December 6. was of short
duration and most of those who ex-
pressed their opinions on the subject
favored the granting Of the fran
chise, although few objected.
Chairman August Rhode, of the
committee. at whose hotel the hear
ing was held, made short speech
and said that the franchise could not
be granted yet, because the consent
of the property-owners had not yet
been secured, and that he thought
that petition with the names of
those who favored it should first be
secured.
The hearing was adjourned until
December 2S, and the Central Jersey
Traction Company will be granted the
franchise.
Lawyer Coan, of South Amboy, rep
resented Sayreville property-owners,
and George s. Silzer acted as counsel
for the township committee.
The different lawyers present all
spoke on the subject and the mem
bers of the committee also Joined in
the discussion. In the application
for the twenty-year franchise no stip-
ulation, it is said, is mentioned, and
from all reports it is believed that
the traction company is almost cer-
tain that their application will be
granted. The company now has a
franchise through South Amboy, and
hopes to get franchise from the
Board of Freeholders on January 8.
But with both franchises secured, the
company would be unable to operate
unless given the right of way across
the Sayreville road, which is the ap-
proach to the county bridge.

MIGRANTS IN SHAPE
The Repairs and Replacing are Now
About Completed.

Superintendent Burns of the wa
ter department has about completed
his annual task of getting the street
hydrants in shape for the winter.
The work was commenced about a
month ago, and is expected to be COM
pleted by tomorrow night. All of
the hydrants have received a coat of
light green paint, several leaky plugs
have been repaired and several plugs
have been replaced.
Assistant Superintendent Hardiman
has gang of men at work today re-
placing the large Corey hydrant at
State and Center streets. The plug.
which was removed today was OF the
new Corey type, with three hose
connections and large connection
for street sprinklers. The new plug
set today has three connections minus
the large connection for street sprink-
lers. The reason for this change is
that the lower one is in the way.

PatrOIman Hanson Discovered
Young Blume and Three Com.
paniOns at Work Last Might.
CONFESSED TO OTHER THEFT.
iChicf Burke Put Blum Under Third
Degree and the Lad Broke Down
and Made Confession Which I'm.
plicated Three Other Boys and
Which Included the Recent Theft
of Smiths Horse and Runabout.

/ Frank Blume, boy living at Keas-
bey, was arrested last night on a
charge of horse-stealing preferred by
Patrolman Hanson who alleges that
he caught Blume with a stolen horse
in his possession at $50 o'clock last
night on Fayette and Prospect streets.
Patrolman Hanson this morning
said that he noticed a horse and
wagon tied on Jefferson street about
9 o'clock last night, and also saw four
boys standing nearby. Thinking 1t
strange that the boys should be so in
terested in the animal. the policeman
stepped around the corner nearby
and waited for results. He had
waited only few minutes when one
of the youths, who proved to be young
Blume, united the horse and started
to lead him away. The guardian of
the law collared the boy at once and
asked him where he was going with
the horse. Blume replied that he had
been sent after the horse by Green
span Brothers. The explanation, how
ever, carried no weight with PATROL
man Hanson, and he placed him un-
der arrest. The other three youths
had disappeared across some nearby
field, but were to have met Blume
later. The youthful prisoner had
new axe handle in his possession at
the time.
Chief Burke put Blume through the
third degree this morning and learn
ed from him the names of the other
boys. The boy, under the chiefs se-
we're questioning, broke down and
confessed that he had stolen the horse
last night, and that he, and the other
three youths, were the ones who took
James Smiths horse. from the stable
on Mcclellan street. and which, as
told in the NEWS was found tied in
the woods near the old pumping sta
ton on Smith street.
The horse and wagon which Blume
was trying to steal last night was
found to be owned by william jack
son, who values the rig at $500.
Blumes case was not heard by the
recorder this morning, as Chief Burke
had requested that he be, remanded
until further evidence could be Sc
cured.

Troublesome Sailors Fine Paid.

The captain of the barge Beaver
called at the police station yesterday
afternoon and said that he wanted to
secure the release of his sailor, Ma
thaniel Dewear, who was arrested
Tuesday night for being drunk and
disorderly Dewear had been fined
$40 by the recorder, but as he had
no money, the penalty of thirty days
was imposed.
The police told the captain that
the sailor was now In the county jail
but perhaps his release could be eff
fected if the fine was paid The cap
tain at once paid the $40 and the
sheriff was notified at once by Chief
Burke, who asked that Dewear be set
free. Dewear is West Indian nagro
and caused the police considerable
trouble while in this city.

The present course pursued by the Bank of England has it's latest parallel in the period following the outbreak of the Boer war in 1S99 After raising the official rate to per cent. in November the rate went to per cent. on the last day of November This action was not immediately effective In the open money market in London nor on the exchange rate in New York, but in the course of December gold began to go ou, from New York and withdrawals continued in spite of the acute stringency in the call money market, which finally ran the rate up to 1S6 per cent. at the stock exchange in the third week of Decem- ber.
 Drastic liquidation In the stock mar ket was forced before the stringencv was broken. Practically no other sub- ject was considered in the market to- day, although the levying of fines on the New York Central for giving of re- bates and the conviction of the Stand ard oil company in the suit for conspir- acy in an Ohio court were cited as in- cidents likely to have depressed the market The stock market was quiet and free from urgent pressure during the latter part of the day Recoveries from the low point were inconsiderable and the closing tone was heavy.
 Bonds were weak. Total sales par value, $2,244,000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Fakes Market Unprepared--Break in

 low Thursday Prices--D0ubt About
 Result of London's Six Per Cent. Rate
 Some Selling.
 The market yesterday was seriously upset by the unexpected raising of the London bank rate to per cent, level reached but four times in the past twenty-five years. Moreover, this &C., tion was taken after the regular Thurs day meeting-a thing never done by the bank before except in the face of crit ical emergency. Evidently the bank in- tends to fight to a finsh against the Wall street borrowers.
 But the banks present action takes account, apparently of two somewhat different faets-one, that it's own blum derlng tactics of the past four weeks have created situation where only strong measures will avail; the other, that the powerful ring of speculating capitalists in New York must be shut out from Europe's market. What the result of this new step will be, in home or foreign finance, is extremely difficult to say, It foreshadows, however, and beyond any question, very great strin- gency in the Wall street money market before the year is ended.
 The news affected downward move ment in stocks, with most of the active stocks a point below Thursdays figure at noon, when business in most stocks stopped.
 Reading and a few others continued to decline in the afternoon, Amalga- mated United States Steel, Atchison and Baltimore and Ohio went down mo- ticeably.
 At the opening some stocks fell off from points upwards to in the case of Anaconda.
 Between noon and 2:SO the stock mar ket stood practically motionless, the dullness being varied only by gradual two-point decline in Reading, making an extreme loss of 1-2 in that stock for the day.
 Where the principal speculation in stocks has been was shown by the large liquidation in Amalgamated Copper, Union Pacific and Reading. Sales of these three stocks up to o'clock were 100000 shares out of about 1,O75,OOO of all kinds. Reading led with nearly 2O0,- GOO during the interval mentioned, Union Pacific being second with 10000
