He Will ReCoVer--Had Close
Call.

James McDermott, of 500 Prospect
street, brother of Patrolman Viii
liam McDermott, and a special
policeman in the employ of the Le-
high Valley railroad, was so badly
injured yesterday afternoon by being
caught between freight train and
the local Lehigh Valley passenger

him to the hospital, where it was
said this morning that he was suffer
ing with a fractured skull, two deep
cuts on the back of his head and
numerous cuts about the body, but
that he is likely to recover.
McDermott was walking along the
tracks, going from the main office to-
ward State street, when a freight
train from the lower yard approach
ed The engineer, Harry Coyle, OF
427 State street, noticed McDermoJt
and blew a sharp blast for him to
get out of the way. The Waterman
stepped TO the side of the track and
as he did so he noticed the passenger
train, known as the Pee wee,
coming along, but it was too late for
him to get out of the space between
the two trains. He made himself as
small as possible and the trains
would have passed him without
touching him only one of the cars on
the freight train was one OF the new
big steel kind, with large extension
sides. One of these sides hit Me

be seen at once that he was badly
hurt. A hurry call was sent for an
ambulance and McDermott was
taken to the hospital.

Bill In The Legislature to Re-

sey PrOprietOrs of Documents.
VALUABLE TO STATE
Letter from Judge Lyon to Cover

Present Whereabouts.

The headquarters of the East Jer-
sey Proprietors in this city may be
abolished, as well as the headquar-
ters of the West Jersey Proprietors
at Burlington, as the result of legis-
lative action toward that end A let
ter from this city prompted the legis-

books are kept This letter was writ
ten 10 Governor Stokes by Judge Ly-
on, and was the result of Il confer
ence some time ago between the gov
ernor and the attorney general and
Judge Lyon.

ed in Judge Lyons letter to the gov
ernor, that these records, which Gov
er land titles and other records from
1852 down to the present time,

ering the Governor to appoint a COM
mission OF three to confer with the
East and West Jersey Proprietors

Mr.. Prince told that the bill was
the result of a letter from the East
Jersey Proprietors of Perth Amboy,
requesting that they might be reliev-
ed from the care and custody of the

This board, Mr.. Prince continued, had
been in existence since 1852. and had
in its possession valuable records and
documents which be cared for by the
state and not subjected to loss and
damage by being scattered. The bill
had been drawn to take in the board
of West Jersey Proprietors of Bur
lington, which was equally as old,
The resolution passed.

MYSTERY OF
THE BLUFF.
Man Seen Wheeling Something
Away Which Looked Like
a Coffin.

The neighborhood of the bluff and
lower Rector street has new mys-
terry in addition TO the Cox burglary
of Tuesday night.
About a quarter to s O'Clock last
night a man who lives on the easter
" side of Rector street, about half
way between Gordon and Lewis
streets, reported to Patrolman And
rev Jensen that he had seen TWO
men leave the small house on the
bluff, the rear yard of which is near
his rear yard, with a wheelbarrow
and on the wheelbarrow there re-
posed a large box which bore every
appearance of a coffin. The men went
down TO Woodruff place and then
through that thoroughfare.
AS soon as Jensen got on the job
he found the wheelbarrow tracks.
He traced them to Woodruff place
and through Woodruff place to High
street; across High street until the
tracks became too indistinct for
Jensen to discern them and he lost
them between two houses on the
westerly side of High street, about
opposite Woodruff place.
Jensen made an investigation at
the bluff house. The doors and Win
dows were open, but nothing appear
ed wrong within. The officer shut
the house up and went away, and
the mystery is still as mysterious as
ever.
The third mystery may be a ghost
in the churchyard at Rector, Gordon
and Water streets, so beware.

Compromise.
ALL WORKING FOR PEACE
Bosses and Mechanics Meet in
Effort to Reach Satisfactory
Conclusion Before May |.

While neither side is ready just
at the present time to give out any
facts, it is understood that an agree
ment has been reached between the
Building Trades Association and the
mechanics of this city, who, as told
in the NEWS, asked for an increase
of wages. commencing May / and it
is now thought that no strike will
take place, as both the bosses and
men are going to do all that is possi-
bic to prevent it.
A few days ago the NEWS stated
the master masons met the journey
men carpenters and made them an Of
fer. Il is known that the masons de-
manded 81 so per day for eight
hours work. while the laborers ask
ed for a raise of fifty cents day. At
the present time the masons get 81
and the laborers 81. %. The bosses,
so il is said, have offered the masons
an increase of forty cents, and the
laborers an increase of twenty-five
cents This is half of what they ask
ed for. The bosses explained the
matter to the mechanics and it is now
thought that the latter will accept
the compromise.
The master carpenters and jour
neymen carpenters have also met and
it is said that they have reached
some sort of an agreement and that
no trouble will come from that quar-
ter. The painters are to get SO a
day, but it is not known just how the
plumbers will make out. 1t is hoped
that they will reach a satisfactory set
tlement. They now receive SO so
per day and want 81.
Builders and mechanics through
out the city are well pleased with the
situation at the present time and they
all seem to think that the threatened
strike, which it was thought a few
weeks ago would certainly visit this
city, will blow over Work will be
plentiful, it is expected, and the town
will boom.

FIVE LAWYERS
IN THIS CASE
Simple Matter Of Attaching a
Mans Goods Involves Much
Legal Proceedings.

The number FIVE has figured promi
nently thus far in the business and
legal adventures of Max Goldstein,
whose goods are now tied up in three
cities to satisfy judgments against
them Within the last year he has
been in five places; he has purchas-
ed goods under five Christian names,
ard five lawyers have had something
TO do with the suits in which he has
been involved.
The latest development in his af-
fairs occurred yesterday.
His exciting experiences of the last
year, in brief, are as follows:
Moving from Bloomfield to Pas
sale, Goldstein went into business at
the latter place. 1t was said that he
had left Bloomfield because of some
difficulties, but, be that as it may, he
was sued in Passaic for some debts
owed to a wholesaler from whom he
had bought goods for his clothing
business. That was seven months
ago, and goods were attached in Pas
sale to satisfy the claim.
Goldstein then went to Newark.
where he opened a store. Five
months ago an attachment was is
sued against him in Newark to salts
fy a Judgment 1t is alleged that
Goldstein broke into the warehouse
where the goods had been stored by
the court and took the goods away
He is said to have admitted this on
the stand in the district court of this
city two weeks ago.
From Newark Goldstein came to
this city and opened clothing store
in the Shangold block on State street
north of Fayette street.
Two weeks ago he was sued by a
New York creditor in the district
court of this city and Judgment for
s2O5 was secured. Lawyer Plech-
ner represented the creditor, and
Lawyer Stricken looked after Gold
STEMS interest.
Part of the goods were levied upon
by Sergeant-at-Arms Shirley, who
removed the same to a safer place.
The next day another lawyer (No. 3 }
entered into the case. Lawyer March
of New Brunswick. put in a claim OF
property for Y. Goldstein, which was
one of the names under which Gold
stein is alleged TO have bought goods.
Saturday Of that week Goldstein
paid the amount of the Judgment and
costs and recovered his goods He
started to move them, but Lawyer
Plechner, who was out of town. was
notified, and an attachmtn was is
sued in another case against Gold
stein and the goods were intercepted.
There were seven trunks and FIVE
cases, all filled with goods, which
were to have been sent to Newark.
That morning Goldstein had ship
ped one case Of goods to Newark and
four cases to Elizabeth.
Monday Lawyer Plechner got out
an attachment from the Newark dis
triet court and en- execution from the
Supreme Court to sc,ze these goods
