TROLLEY CAR
HITS WAGON;
DRIVER HURT

A wagon belonging to Niels C.
Peterson, soft drink bother, of 254
New Brunswick avenue, was badly
demolished and the driver and horse
slightly injured, in a collision with a
large double-truck trolley car a few
minutes after noon today.
The car was damaged to some ex-
tent on the side and front and it
happened at State and Fayette streets
as Petersons rig was about to cross
State street from the east side of the
street A trolley car driven by Mo-
torman No. 5,17S, was leaving the
Jefferson street switch and had gain
ed considerable speed when it struck
the wagon squarely on the side, hurl-
ing the driver and horse to the north
side of State street. The driver was
slightly scratched and bruised about
the face and hands, but otherwise
was uninjured. The horse was also
slightly bruised and the top part of
the wagon was completely demolish-
ed, the running gear was twisted into
many unusual shapes and the rear
axle was considerably bent The con-
tents of the wagon, consisting of sew
eral boxes of empty bottles and cases
of soft drinks, was hurled into a
mass of broken glass and boxes.
George Smith, the driver, was talk
en- to Dr. J. G. Wilson's office, where
he was found to have been cut about
the face. No evidence of internal in
iuries could be found. He lives at
213 Prospect street.

CAUGHT AFTER
ATTEMPT TO
ENTER SALOON

Charles Nable, forty-eight years
old, of 80 Woodbridge road, was ar
raigned before Recorder Pickersgill
this morning on a charge of house
breaking, preferred by Andrew Holz-
heimer, proprietor of saloon at 27S
Smith street.
Mr.. Holzheimer said that he had
closed his saloon at midnight and had
gone to get a cup of coffee. While he
was at the lunch wagon, a woman
who lives over the saloon heard some
one breaking window in the saloon
below. She raised her window and
saw a man trying to climb into the
saloon. She threw a plate at him and
Immediately started to cry: Rob
bers, thieves, burglars!" so loudly
that Patrolmen Hanson and Andrew
Jensen, who were crossing the Cen
tral railroad tracks, heard her cries
and were quickly on the scene. They
were just in time to see a man leav-
ing the rear of the place and called
to him to stop.
The man, who proved to be Nable,
ran up Prospect street with the police
men hot on his trail. Patrolman
Jensen fired a shot in the air from
his revolver to scare the escaping
thief, which caused him to slacken
his pace, and he was finally caught at
Stanford street and New Brunswick
avenue.
He was brought back to the house
and identified by the woman as the
man she had seen breaking into the
saloon.
When arraigned before the record
er this morning Nable said he was
drunk and did not know what he was
doing. He told the police last night
however, that he was trying to get
drink in the place. He was held
under $500 bonds for the grand jury
Nable was for some time proprie-
tor of saloon on State street, neal
Fayette street and when arraigned
before the grand jury on this charge
he will have to answer to another in
dictment which was secured against
him some time ago for another Of
tense.

Here is detailed account of my

solid hours in the principal business

detectives, including Chief Burke,
corner loungers and the "wisest Raj

MAYOR PLEASEDAT WHAT He SAW
ON VISIT TO WATER WORKS.

Mayor Bollschweiler, accompanied
by Engineer S. j. Mason, of the
water department, visited the water
works at Runyon yesterday and made
Il general inspection of the plant.
The mayor examined each of the new
ground storage wells, inspected the
pumping station and walked over the
Fountain land which the Water
Board wanted TO purchase for $15,-
500.

morning: Il made a general inspec-

Await President
Converts S
Return.
HANEY SPEAKS.

At the meeting of the water board
last night the bills of the engineering
experts were brought up and, after
considerable discussion, were laid
over until the return from Europe
of Patrick Convery, ex-president OF
and still member of the board.
The bills are from Morris r. Sher-
rerd, OF Newark, and B. s. Church.
of New York. for SIS and 800, re-
spectively, for services rendered by
them as consulting engineers and the
preparation of affidavits in regard to
the water supply and the Fountain
land at Runyon, which the board
tried to pay $15,5 for.
1t was evident that the board did
not intend to bring the bills up for
discussion last night, but Clerk Tice
asked President Clark if he wanted
them read. Mr.. Clark seemed to
be against such move, but Commits
sioner Haney said: Yes, let us hear
them" The clerk read one of the
bills. that of B. 8. Church, for SIS,
for two days inspection at Runyon
on July 81 and % last. A letter
was also read from Mr.. Church asking
that the board pay the bill, as 1t had
been standing for some time. The
board seemed unwilling to pay the
BILL and Commissioner Voorhees,
made motion that it be submitted
to the city attorney for a written
statement as to who hired Mr..
Church.
Commissioners Haney took this as
his cue and although Mr.. Conyery's
name had not been mentioned, he
arose and said that 1t was unfair to
take advantage of the retiring presi-
dents absence, and he moved that
matter be laid over until Mr.. Con-
4ry's return from Italy, where he re-
ecently went 81 think" said Mr..
Haney, that If Mr.. Convery did hire
those experts, he did it for the best
interests of the city"
This latter motion was passed.
The board has also received bill
from Morris r. Sherrerd, a consult-
ing engineer of Newark, for SIS, and
another from McDermott & Enright,
of Jersey City, for $3.50. These bills
were not read aloud by the clerk, all
though on motion they were also
laid over until Mr.. Convery's re-
turn. The bill from McDermott &
Enright was for services rendered by
them in purchasing two lots at Rum
yon from Mary E. Johnson for $25
each The legal firms bill was for
$150-$50 for the two lots and 500
for services rendered in making the
deal and drawing deeds. This bill
was not read, but was examined indi-
vidually by each of the commissions
ers.
The commissioners held private
committee meeting before the regular
meeting and after adjournment also
held another animated discussion.
The fact was brought out at the
meeting last night that the board had
not authorized the employment OF the
experts and did not make any agree
ment with McDermott G. Enright In
regard to paying them for purchase
ing lots at Runyon, and from the
conversation it is to be concluded that
President Convery will, on his re-
turn, be able to throw some light on
the matter in regard as to hired the
consulting engineers.

ELDER GERRARD'S VIEWS.

1t is quite likely that denial will be
entered, and strenuously insisted upon,
in the matter of Elder Gerard s re-
marks about polygamy. The elder was
reported as saying that beyond ques,
tion "polygamy is the true and only
means Of redeeming the world from the
terrible wickedness which now pre-
walls" II is probable that he said
it, however, or something that amounts
to the same, in spite of any denials
which may be made. For it is the
polygamist Mormon contention, and has
been for many years. The practice is
based on the idea that qualification and
satiation are the true remedies for
mems lust, and that restraint, control
of passion. are harmful, and inevitably
lead to bad results.
But this doctrine ignores the plain
teaching of the history of mankind
In freeing itself from polygamy, which
has been practically universal at one
time or another, mankind made its
most important advance in social or
der, in clean living, and in the fixed
conditions of an advanced community
life. Nor does the observation of to-
day differ in the least from the teach.
ings Of the records. 1t is not in polyg.
amous countries that we find civiliza-
tion and decent family life. Contrast
Turkey with England, for example, as
types of the civilization existing among
polygamous people and a homogeneous
people. And contrast the enlighten-
ment of today with the enlightenment
of the world when polygamy generally
prevailed, and note the practical con
demnation of the polygamous commu-
nifty life,
Elder Gerard and those whc hold
with him are condemned alike by his.
tory an dby the lesson OF contemporary
experience, They are also condemned
by the census returns, which show a
practical equality of the sexes, this
fact absolutely forbidding the preva'
lence of the bestial practice, Even
where it is in vogue, the polygamists
make merchandise of women, importing
them from outer provinces to fill up
their harems And special efforts have
to be made to get unnatural supplies
Of women wherever the polygamous
cult has prevailed.
Elder Gerrard's estimate of the per"
