STREET LIGHTS
TO COST LESS.
On and After January |, 1903,
the Maximum Will be $50
Per Light Yearly.

The price of street lighting in this
city will be lower after January /.
1908, over year hence, no matter
which concern supplies it, as a result
of the announcement of the Public
Service Corporation, which also in
cludes the reduction of the price OF
electric current to ten cents kilo-
watt hour from that time on, as told
in yesterdays NEWS
The bid of the Public Service Cor
poration this year for street lamps
was $3.50 each per year, with a
promised reduction to $95 when the
number of lights should reach cer-
tain figure.
After the beginning of 1908, the
Public Service offers to reduce this to
$50. In frst-class cities the rates
have been reduced to $75 a year. All
cities in the state where Public Ser
vice gas systems are in use and where
the rate has been over 81 per thou
sand cubic feet, the price has been
dropped to 81 per thousand cubic
feet, regardless of the price hereto
fore charged.
AS for trolley car service, a person
may now ride from any part of Essex
county excepting EdSle NUN, Odiu-
we'll, or Verona, through Elizabeth
and as far as Crawford, for ten cents.
A person may ride from any part OF
Hudson county to any part of Union
county as far as Crawford for fifteen
cents. One may go from Elizabeth
to Jersey City for fifteen cents under
the new rules.
In a resolution which accompanies
the statement the company pledges
itself to do away as quickly as possi-
BILE with the smoke nuisance in con-
nection with it's electric light station
and experiments are now being made
to introduce smoke consumers in all
the plants owned and controlled by
the Public Service Corporation.
The company plainly states that
the reason of their action is the agl-
tation for municipality owned electric
plants and the fact that in many cit
les in this state this year the people
will vote on the matter of whether or
not they want councils to install mum
icipally owned plants.

According to a reliable source, An
gelo Terio and Leo Dressler. of this
city, who were committed to the
county Jail last week to await the ac--
tion of the grand jury, escaped from
the Jail on Monday, but were caught
in this city and are now once more
under lock and key at New Bruins
wick
AS told in the NEWS at the time,
Terio and Dressler were arrested for
stealing bicycles, and pleaded guilty
when arraigned before Recorder Pick
ersgill. The two boys told where the
wheels were and Chief Burke and De-
tective Huff recovered the stolen pro-
perty. Terio's father told the record
er that he hoped his son would be
sent to some reform school, as he was
incorrigible. City Marshal r. A. Pei
tier later took the two boys to New
Brunswick.
Monday morning Jailer Rogers al
lowed them the liberty of the yard.

TWO LOCAL BOYS GOT
OUT OF COUNTY JAIL.
Young Bicycle Thieves Declared to
Have Made Escape Three Days
Ago, but ReCaptured Here.
FACTS WERE DENIED AT THE JAIL

A New Brunswick coal dealer was
carrying fuel into the prison and it is
thought that the boys escaped at that
time. AS soon as he discovered that
Terio and Dressler were missing, Jail
er Rogers quietly sent word to James
Moran and George Hartung, of this
city, to watch out for the two. The
local police were not notified.
Moran and Hartung started to
search for the boys, who the jailer
thought would at once come to this
city. Terio was found at his home on
Washington street Monday night, and
Dressler was captured on the street
Tuesday morning by Moran and Har-
tung, who took them to New Bruins
wick at once.
For some reason the facts of the
escape have been suppressed and that
the two boys were even out of the jail
yard was emphatically denied by the
jailer, who was questioned in regard
to the case yesterday by correspond
ent of the NEWS.

NEW FERRY COMPANY.
Papers Drawn Up
For New Line
To Island.
AuTOlSTS INTERESTED.
Iar to the EVENING NEWS:

EDeCfnt 10 JH6 NV ENfN0 VIZ w
NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 25:-
Papers were drawn up here today by
George s. Silzer for the Perth Am
boy and Staten Island Ferry com
pany, which is to run a ferry between
Perth Amboy and Tottenville in op-
position to the present ferry main
tanned by the State Island Rapid
Transit.
The company is composed mostly
of New York men with George S. Sill
zer as the agent. The Office is at 119
Church street, this city.
Mr.. Silzer stated this morning that
the men organized the company be-
cause the rates now charged were too
high, especially for automobiles. 1t
is thought that automobilists are the
real hackers of the company.
The capital stock is $125,000 di-
vided into shares of 800 each. The
following are the incorporators:
Fred w. o. Schmitz, New York, two
shares; Emil Diefenbach, Newark,
two shares; Michael F. Humphries,
New York, two shares; Edward
White, New York, two shares; Hen
ry Lowenfels, New York, two shares:
John w. Humphries, Bayonne, two
shares; Jacob }. Nicholson, New
York, two shares.
1t is stated that the new company
has already leased landing places on
both the Perth Amboy and Totem
vile shores and that the ferry will go
into commission within a short time.
The most convenient docking
places would be at the foot of AM
boy avenue on Staten Island, as this
is the natural ending of the most di-
rect route across Staten Island; and
at the foot of Fayette street, Perth
Amboy, which is almost directly op-
posite If, as is supposed the auto
mobile owners are back of the pro-
ject, it would be their object to make
the route across the sound as short
as possible in order to save time.
New boats will be used and it is
said there will be two of them.
1t is well known that autoists pre-
fer the Staten Island route to any
other in crossing New Jersey and es-
pecially as the Amboy bridge is
opened, it is the most direct to the
Jersey coast. The service given by
the present ferry is not what the
autoists would like to have it and
annoying delays are necessary. This
together with the big price charged to
CROSS is believed to be the reason for
the new ferry.
Not only will autosts be bene-
fitted but it is announced that the
fare will be reduced on all traffic.
A NEWS reporter was unable to
learn where the dock would be on
this side, this afternoon. 1t was
thought that the Edward White, of
New York, mentioned as one of the
incorporators, was a son of Patrick
White, of this city, but that was de-
MED at the office of P. White & Sons,
today. They said they knew nothing
of the new project. Thus far the city
has granted no permission to any
concern to dock at the foot of Fayette
street. 1t was there that the Staten
Island Rapid Transit contemplated
moving before permanent improve
ments were made at the foot of Smith
street.

and told Mr.. and Mrs. Durrua they

ly forgave them. 1t is understood
both families are perfectly satisfied,
although both bride and groom are

.fIarry is not yet twenty" said
Mrs. Durrua. His bride is only eight

of Keyport.
The happy couple returned to New
York yesterday, as Mr.. Durrua has a
position there.
In week or two young Mr.. and
Mrs. Durrua will return to this city
where they will reside permanently.
