STREETS WERE
The SUBJECT.
Chamber of Commerce Would
Like 10 See Market Street I'm
pFOVed-The Sidewalks.

At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night a number Of
things of Importance were discussed
in an informal way. Plans for the
banquet which viii be held at the
Packer House, tomorrow night, were
completed.
Because most Of the members
found it inconvenient 10 get to the
meeting Of the chamber at o'clock,
it was agreed TO change the hour of
meeting to $50, and the clerk will
notify all members to this effect
The chamber talked over the pres
ent condition of the streets and side
walks in this city, and decided to do
all that they could TO help improve
them They will also look into the
matter of the schools in this city, and
may suggest number OF things
which they think would be valuable.
A complaint was made against the
Public Service corporation turning on
the electric lights at so late an hour
in the evening and shutting the pow
er off so early in the morning. A
number of merchants are complaining
about this and Alderman Pfeiffer.
who was present at the meeting of the
chamber informed the board that the
franchise under which the electric
light company was operating compell-
ed them to light the lamps in this city
twenty minutes before sunset so it is
expected that the board will take this
matter up, as they will have some
thing to work on.
Most of the members thought that
il would be good idea if the matter
of a petition to pave Market street
was looked into. Nearly all of the
other important streets in this city
are going to be paved, or else they
are going TO petition the aldermen 10
let them make improvements. 1t
was brought ont that Market street
was one of the finest in the city, and
that for a distance it was macadamiz-
ed, but that from Madison avenue to
the Central depot, it was in a fearful
state and that something should be
done.
A NUMBER Oh months ago tne cndm-
Der at one of its meetings called at
tention to the condition Of this part
Of Market street, and the street COM
missioner was asked to put down
number of loads of cinders. All of
the holes and ruts We're at that time
filled up. but the road is in as bad a
condition now again, as it was when
the chamber first took hold Of the
matter.
The attention of the chamber was
called TO the sidewalks in State street
near Jefferson street, where only one
narrow flag is down. The chamber
will investigate the matter. The
meeting was one of the best attended
leld in q long time,

LOCAL TUG IN
THE COLLISION
II Was the GanOsa Which Crash
ed Into LehiSh Valley Barge
Yesterday.

While the big ocean going tugboat
Ganoga, of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road, and commanded by Captain
Cleary, of this city, was coming from
the pier at the foot OF East Twenty
first street, New York, yesterday af-
ternoon, her steering gear got out of
order and, before the tugbOat could
be stopped, she had crashed full
speed into the hay barge Easton,
owned also by the Lehigh Valley
The Easton, which was loaded with
hay. was cut in two and sank at once,
as told in the NEWS yesterday. AT
first it was thought that the captain
OF the barge had been drowned, but
it was learned later that no one was
aboard.
The Ganoga left here early yester-
day morning with number Of barges
for New York. il is said. and she had
the tide with her. She arrived at the
destination early. She had put in at
the pier in East Twenty-first street,
and was just starting back for this
city when the steering gear became
disarranged and she plOwed her way
through the hay barge.
In an instant the barge had sunk
and the river was covered with float
ing bales of hay. which were picked
up by nearby tugs and afterwards put
on the dock. The hay. it is said, was
valued at $4,000, while the barge
was worth a similar amount.
For a long time ii was not known
that the tug had sunk the barge, as
it is said that The captain pulled off
at once and made away. The harbor
police and detectives in the employ of
the Lehigh Valley railroad spent the
rest of the day trying to locate the
tug which caused the accident, but
the matter was finally cleared up as
Captain Cleary reported 10 his chief
in Jersey City. The Ganoga is now
out of commission and will be laid up
for repairs.

AN ORDINANCE
FOR THE PIGS.
Health Board Likely to Take Up
The Matter at Its Next
Meeting.

An ordinance to prevent the keep
ing of pigs within the city limits is
being prepared, it is understood, by
one of the members of the Board of
Health and it is expected that it will
be presented at the boards next regu-
lar meeting.
At the last meeting of the Board of
Health, Inspector Ramsay made the
statement that the inspector or the
Board of Health could not prevent
the keeping of pigs in this city, as
they had nothing but an old city ordi-
nance to work under and that when
they at one time tried TO prevent a
certain man from keeping hogs they
were informed that the ordinance
would not hold
Every member of the health board
was surprised that the law did not
cover this particular point. Inspec-
tor Ramsay told how he had been
held up time and time again on the
streets, in the trolley cars, and called
everything possible by indignant citi-
zens who had complaints to make
against the owners of pigs, but as he
explained, what could he do? He
could not order a man 20 get rid of
the hogs and so ne had TO bear the
abuse.
The new ordinance, it is expected,
will cover every possible loop hole of
the law and it certainly will be
great benefit 10 the residents of this
city for during the past few months
it is a well known fact that a number
of residents have purchased pigs and
have pens almost in the heart of the
city, much to the disgust of the neigh
bors.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter, a man who has occasion TO
travel throughout this city "a great
deal said he was surprised to note the
way certain people were raising pigs
in this city, and that in a number of
other cities where he had visited the
people would not stand for such a
thing. He said that only the other
day he was passing down Prospect
street when a number of pigs came
along and before he could get out of
the way they had nearly knocked him
down. He picked up a heavy stick
and went for them. In a short time
the owner of the hogs appeared and
came near giving him a beating just
because he was protecting himself
from the pigs.
