R. r. company's baggage room to the

baggage room is about the most re-
spectacle room, now that they have

near future superintendent Blodgett
will remember that there is place
called South Amboy and that the
people of that town need new waiting
rooms at the depot.

SAYS COAL WAS SHORT.

Uncle Sam claimed to be short on
a barge load of coal. One of the boat
captains was before one of our local
justices yesterday and made affidavit
that no coal had been removed from
his barge in transit from South AM
boy to New York. The facts of the
case are that a barge was loaded at
South Amboy with 425 tons of coal
for the battleship Ohio, lying in New
York harbor. The officers of the
battleship claim the weight was 100
tons short, but the captains testi-
mony was that he signed manifest
for 425 tons at South Amboy and
there was none removed from the
barge until the commencement Of the
discharging of the barge's cargo on
the battleship.
