BISHOP ASKS
TO URGE BILL
Letter Of Bishop MCFaul to Every
Parish Concerning Local Op-
ton and High License.

TRENTON, Mar Bishop James
A. McFaul, of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Trenton, has sent to the
priests of his diocese the appended
letter, which has direct bearing on
the present interdenominational IL
quor reform movement.
Reverend and Dear Father:
AT this session of the New Jer-
sey legislature there have been intro
duced bills, copies of which are here
with enclosed, regulating the liquor
traffic. Doubtless an attempt will be
made TO modify some of their fea-
lures. These bill substantially repre-
sent laws, already on the statute
books, which, however, have not been
fully enforced. Experience has taught
that only a healthy, strong public
opinion will cause municipal author
tiles and grand juries to do their
duty. owing to the intermiXing of the
saloon with politics.
1T behooveS us 10 arouse our peo-
pie to a sense of the terrible abuse of
intoXicantS committed against exist
SHI laws, 10 COHtGOl int IuHutHCe Ol
those who are debauching our young
men and bringing our young women
to disgrace and ruin.
Everyone knows that the Catholic
church does not condemn the use of
liquor. LET it be clearly understood,
therefore, that this campaign is in
augurated solely against prevailing
abuses.
Kindly bring the subject to the
notice of your people at all the masses
on next Sunday, March 4, and preach
L special sermon on the subject at the
last mass.
Enclosed you will also find petit
ton, which you will please sign and
forward to me Immediately. All these
petitions are TO be presented en- masse
to the legislature on Monday night,
March 5, 1906, without fail
very faithfully yours,
JAMES A. M'FAUL,
Bishop of Trenton"
A similar letter will be sent out in
Newark by Bishop O'Connor.

ASTRENUOUS
LIFE On THE
RAPID TRANSIT
Engine Cannot Pull Train Up
Grade --had to Send for Help
.-PassenSers An Hour Late.
LIMITED EXPRESS STOPS
Steam Gave Out at New DOrp and
Train Was Stalled Twenty
Minutes.
Special to ths EVENING NEWS:

TOTTENVILLE, Mar. 1.-Yester-
day was a day to be remembered by
the commuters on the Rapid Transit
railroad. Passengers were delayed
from one to two hours in getting to
their destination. The first mishap
occurred when engine No. 5, which
left st. George at 1880 am, got stuck
on Grasmere hill, near Clifton, and
could not go any further, and had to
be taken back to Clifton. Another
engine had to be secured The trains
arrived in Tottenville one hour later.
-xhe cause of the mishap, it was re-
ported later, was that the old engine
could not get up enough steam to pull
the train up the hill.
The next old trap of an engine to
give out was No. A.. which left here
at 7:40 am, and pulls the limited
express. She stopped at New Dorp
for fully twenty minutes, waiting for
the engine to get up steam so they
could proceed to st. George. The
passengers were finally landed in New
York at O'Clock, one half hour late.
The train that should have left at
S:13 am, did not get out of the de-
pot until near 10 O'Clock.
The passengers were loud in their
denunciation of the old engines that
have been in use SO many years on
this division.
'The wind was high,
The steam was low;
The train was heavy
And hard to tow;
The coal is poor
And full of slate
That's the reason
The train was late.

MUCH DAMAGE
Dashed Into Front of PennsyI.
Vania Hotel. Broke Wagon In
Half People, Narrow Escape.

While a spirited horse, owned by
1ans Hanson. the grocer, at Keasbey,
Fas standing in front of the butter

hortly after II, boy employed as
. driver by the butter and egg deal
ars came up with a wagon load of
'ggs and as Hanson's horse was in
he way he attempted to move him.
rhe horse became frightened and
started on wild tear down the
treet.
The street was crowded with wom-
IN out TO do the noon shopping and
was feared that the horse would
lash into some of them. The runa-
way was noticed by a group of men
vno gave ~4ase, but this seemed to
'righten the beast more than any
hing else and it dashed up on the
sidewalk in front of the Pennsylva-
lia hotel and for a few seconds it
was thought that it would crash
through the big plate glass The
wagon hit tree and the rear was
broken from the forward part Be
fore the men could grasp the horse
it had turned around and, with only
the forward wheels, again dashed out
into the street.
Down State street, scattering the
people in all direction went the horse.
1t came near falling in the sewer
which is being dug in front of the
Goldsmith property. At Smith and
State streets a woman was just cross
ing when assistant superintendent of
the water department, George Hardi-
man, yelled at her and she got out of
the way just as the horse dashed by
The horse ran into a wagon owned
by the Henderson transfer which was
being unloaded in front of the Scheu-
er building. where he was caught by
Mr.. Hardiman and Detective Sergeant
HUFF, who had witnessed the runa-
away.
The owner, Hans Hanson, came up
afterwards and he took
charge of the horse and what was left
OF the wagon. The animal was put in
a stall at the stable of Liddle & Pfeif-
fer, and later Mr.. Hanson took it
home.

RECORDERS
BIG RECORD.
Fines Collected for the City
Show Big Increase Over
pysviOus Years.

The amount of the fines collected
in the recorders court during tho
city's fiscal year which ended at mid
night last night is about as good al
argument as could be found for de
cent and sanitary lookup. The fine.
amounted to $2.497.75 and the re
corder's court can thus be counted
upon as a source of considerable rev
enue for the city 1t exceeds the
amount of the previous year by over
$1,000, as the amount collected dur
ing the year ending March 1, 1905.
was $1.447.35. In the year ending
March /, 1904, it was 81, ,349. SO.
As a matter OF comparison it ma,
be Interesting to note that the fine
durins the year ending March l
1902, totalled cnly $431.50, less than
ono-ffth of those OF the year just
ended. Recorder Pickersgill was no
in Office then.
The excellent showing of the past
year is due in a large measure to the
good work of the police department
for although but few Of the warrants
for arrest issued by the recorder have
been served by the police, they serv-
ing only those where one of the off
GERS had previously done some work
on the case. they have made large
number Of arrests through untiring
vigilance and attention TO duty. Since
the beginning of 1905 the serving Of
warrants has been done almost Who'll
ly by the city marshal's Office.

that the power of the freeholders is

HOUSE MAY
RECALL BILL
FOR BOROUGH
Opposition TO Act Creating BOr-
Ough Of Roosevelt StirS Up
Some lII-FGGIing.
SENATE RECEIVES ALL.
Likely That Assembly Will Call
Back the Measure and Make
Some Changes.
Special to the EVENING NEWS :

SpCctdL to me EVENING q NE Wb:
TRENTON, Mar. 1.-The PROPOSE
tion to pass an act to incorporate the
borough of Roosevelt, Middlesex
county, bids fair to get into such
legislative snarl that it will be diff
cult to unravel The latest phase of
the situation is that an attempt may
be made 10 recall the measure from
the senate back to the house, for
further action in the lower body.
p The whole trouble seems to be that
there has been a misunderstanding
all around Senator Jackson, of Mid
dleseX, who fathered the bill in the
upper house, is not at all pleased
with the turn affairs have taken, un-
der which all the opposition to the
bill sweeps up against him. He, with
other senators, thinks it very strange
that if there was opposition to the
borough proposition, it was not made
known when the bill was pending in
the assembly. The members of the
senate are ill-content TO shoulder a
lot of trouble on account of this bill
because they claim that there was no
reason for waiting till the bill had
been pasesd by the house before find
ing fault with the proposal.
Said They Did Not Know.
Those opposed to the incorporation
say they did not know that the bill
was before the house. Then" reply
the other side, they must have been
slow, because the legal notice was
advertised and all other necessary
steps taken"
AS told in the EVENING NEWS,
the hearing on the bill was a lively
one, and has stirred up the lawmak-
ers considerably. II was stated in
several legislative quarters yesterday
afternoon that perhaps the best thing
TO do under the circumstances, would
be to have the assembly recalle the
measure, reconsider it's passage there,
and place it back on second reading.
Then it could be amended, further
hearing be given on it, or other ac-
ton taken.
OF course, it could be amended in
the senate, but then it would have
to be repassed by the house anyhow,
so no time would be saved.
Want Justice All Around.
One member OF the house sized up
the difficulty of the situation yester-
day afternoon. This is a pretty
tough proposition, said he. NO state
issue is involved, OF course, and the
legislators in general are not interest
ed except to see that justice is done
all around" Then he continued:
There is the crux of the whole sit
uation. Here are two factions, di-
rectly opposed, and we have to choose
between them. Either way we vote
is likely to create dissatisfaction"
It is considered probable that in
order to avoid any allegation that
there was an inclination to rush the
bill throug4 the house, it will be re-
called from the senate and considered
further.

Petition Being Circulated in This

are circulating a petition protesting
against the passage of Assembly bill
No. IS, the local option measure, and
senate bill No 1856, relating to high

barroom to be exposed to the public.
A great many have signed the petit

ly has little concern here, as there is
little fear of Perth Amboy voting to
be dry yet awhile.

SAMMY DoeeErr DEAD.

Last Monday evening at $50
O'Clock the angels beckoned and
another of our bright little ones
passed to the home beyond and
another family is left to mourn for
the departed one.
Little Sammy Doggett, II years
old, and one of the brightest boys
in our town, who had been suffer-
ing for a week or more with the
racking, shifting infammatory
pains, was thought to be much
better in the morning, when he
was sitting up in bed playing with
a whistle his brother had made,
suddenly complained to his mother
of a terrible pain in his heart.
The doctor was summoned and
worked with him for several hours,
but he did not again gain con-
seriousness and passed on to meet
his Savior in whom he was a strong
believer.
Sammy was a favorite with his
brothers and sisters, and with all
his schoolmates. The Inter-
mediate room went to the residence
at l o'clock, each carrying a flower
which they tenderly placed on the
coffin as they passed.
The family and relatives have
the heartfelt sympethy of all in
their bereavement.
The funeral was held at 2 O'Clock
lat the residence. Rev. Watson
delivered a short Sermon, after
which the body was laid at rest
In the cemetery here.

The following to the Tribune
from Omaha indicates that the U.

reservation:
"With a service of automobiles
over a superb graveled road one
hundred miles north of Rawlins,
Wyo., the Union Pacific expects
to handle a large portion of the
travel to the opening of the Sho-
shone reservation. The North
western has built an extension $50
miles west from Casper to reach
the reservation and the Burling-
ton is rushing work on a line south
from Billings, Mont. The Union
Pacific, however, expects to land

in less time than the Illinois rail-
roads. Automobiles will leave
Rrwlins in the morning and reach
