STILL TIE ON
The HEATING
School Board Last Night Brought
Up the Heating Contract
Contract for Windows.

At the special meeting of the
school board last night, Commission
er Crowell requested that the heating
contract for school No. 2 be award
ed to the Kellogg Company, stating
that they could finish the work by
the first of September. A motion
was made that the heating meing nee
essary by that time, the contract be
given to the Kellogg company.
The motion was lost. Some of the
members, in discussion, said that the
furniture was more necessary for the
school than the heating apparatus.
President Walker said that the furni-
ture could be secured in sixty days.
while the heating, if advertised for
bids, would take at least five months
before it could be completely INSTALL
ed. The board remained deadlocked
on the subject.
Warrants were drawn for num-
ber of bills.
The specifications for the glass
work to be bid on Thursday night at
the school board meetings have caus-
ed much comment among the con-
tractors. Some think that 500 bond
is too high, others object to the clause
that requires the glass be painted be-
fore the putty is used and also after
1t is used. A majority think that
one painting after the glass has been
puttied should be sufficient, claiming
that the oil in the putty does the nee
essary painting.
The meeting was adjourned until
Thursday night, at which time the
bids for glass will be received. The
board visited No. school before the
meeting and counted the broken
Ipanes.
A communication was received
from Thomas Langan, complaining
against the drainage system of school
No. 2. He says all the surface water
runs on his premises. The matter
was referred to the building commit
tee.

Vice Chancellor Pitney, sitting in
Jersey City yesterday, granted a re-
straining order preventing any fur
ther transactions in the Water Board
deal by which the city was to pay
$15,5O0 to Asbury Fountain for a
piece of practically worthless land at
Runyon. He has made the matter
returnable July 10 at Newark, when
both sides will present their cases in
detail and the vice chancellor Will
then act regarding making the stay
permanent.
The application for the restrain
ing order was made by Judge Lyon,
acting for citizens of this city, OF
whem John L. Mundy is the nominal
plaintiff.
The exposure given in the NEWS
has aroused the citizens as seldom
before in this city, and when 1t was
saen that the water board was de-
termined to carry the deal through,
several citizens employed Judge Ly-
on to prevent the purchase under
the existing conditions, if possible.
f udge Lyon went to Jersey City

EXPLOSION IN
CANNON WORKS
Confetti Cannon Plant Met With
Accident Yesterday Foreman
WAS Slightly Injured.

An explosion occurred at about
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon in
the building belonging to the Com
fort estate, and used by the American
Confetti Cannon Company as a fac
tory to make their product. Just what
part of the building the explosion oc-
Cured in is not known. Some say
though the fact that the front win
dows and sashes were blown across
the street seems to indicate that it
was on the first floor.
Herbert Flannery, the foreman of
the company, was badly cut about
the face and arms. He shower great
nerve during the excitement and
would not go to his home until ev-
erything was over. His wounds were
dressed by Dr. G. w. Tyrrell.
The confetti factory was formerly
located on Prospect street, where a
similar explosion took place, no one
being hurt.
Large clouds of smoke poured
from the building after the report,
and thinking that the place was on
fire, William Hartmann turned in an
alarm from box ~.
Although ten girls were employed
in the place at the time, none of them
was hurt. As far as can be learned,
the foreman was mixing some explo-
sive to make caps for the cannons,
and it exploded. The damage is es-
timated at about 800.

TWO POLLS IN
FOURTH WARD.
To Be Divided into Two Polling
Districts Because. Vote Ex-
Ceeded 800 Last Year.

AS there were more than 600 votes
cast in the fourth ward at the last
election, that ward is to be divided
intA two voting districts, according
to law, and a resolution to that eff
fleet was adopted at the meeting of
the Board of Aldermen last night.
The vote in the fourth ward was
very high last November because of
the warm fight waged there for all
derman and school commission, and
the subsequent effort to- get full
vote. Whether it will run that high
this year is doubtful question.
The first and third wards of the
city are already in two polling dis
tricts.
