The Broad street sewer matter
which has been carried into the
courts by James Parker, counsel for
Adam Eckert, will be heard before
Justice Swayze in Newark on April
20. Justice Swayze allowed the writ
of certiorari yesterday morning. The
ordinance in regard to the sewer
which the plaintiff Is trying to have
set aside as invalid Is an ordinance
to lay n twenty-four-lnch pipe sewer
in Broad street and Front street to
connect with sewer in Washington
street.
The reasons urged against the pro-
posed sewer are as follows:
Because the original petition to
the Board of Aldermen for a sewer
in Broad street from Division street
to the Staten Island Sound should
have been acted upon before action
was taken on the petition diverting
the sewer through Front street to
Washington street.
Because only one of the six petit
TONERS for such diversion was the
owner of any property in Front street
and that one was the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Company.
Because by such diversion the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company is
seeking to maintain it's present un-
lawful possession and use of that
part of Broad street between the
Front street and the sound, which is
in fraud of the public right to use
said portion of Broad street.
Because the objectors to such pro-
posed diversion were in much larger
number than the lawful petitioners
for the same.
Because the resolution of the
Board of Aldermen declaring the in
tention of that body to pass the Or
dinance was not lawfully adopted.
Because the ordinance which was
pending on December 81, 1905,
lapsed when the Board of Aldermen
of 1906 went out of Office.
Because the board of 1907 had
no power to take further action upon
an ordinance that was pending but
not adopted by the former board ;and
must begin all proceedings de nevo. -
These foregoing reasons will be
submitted to Justice SwayZe in the
Supreme Court in Newark on April
20, and Lawyer Parker says that If
the case is lost he will carry it to
the Court of Errors and Appeals.

Postmaster Tice has completed his
annual report and announced yester-
day that, as was predicted, the
amount exceeded the sum necessary
to make the Office first class. The
total amount received for the sale of
postal cards, stamps, envelopes and
wrappers was 41,693.95, whicn is an
increase of $6,93S.97 over last years
amount.
The annual report of the local of
flee for the fiscal year which ended
March 81 shows remarkable in
crease in all the departments, and ii
has been sent to Washington by Post
master Tice.
Mr.. Tice is much pleased with the
showing made this year and in con-
versation with a NEWS reporter YES
terday said: "The new building has
certainly helped the business, even II
it is somewhat out of the way"
The rating of the post Offices in the
United States is made in June or July.
at which time without a doubt the
local Office will be placed on the list
of first class offices. The making of
the Office first class will give the city
more prestige, will increase the maxi
mum salaries of the clerks, but not
the carriers, as the latter depends
upon the population. 1t will also al
low of number of changes in the Of
flee and when the Office is made first
class Postmaster Tice can offer 'econ-
mendations for improvements that ne
deems necessary, which he says he
intends doing at the proper time.
AS soon as the ground thaws out
Postmaster Tice says he intends hav-
ing six new letter boxes put up. AT
the present time there are forty-slx
in use.
Statement by Postmaster.
The following statement, emOody-
ing the figures in the annual report,
was made public by Postmaster Tice
late yesterday afternoon:
1t will be seen by comparison OF
the business being done at the Perth
Amboy post office for the year ending
March 31st, 1907, with the years
1897 and 1906 that Perth Amboy and
its business must be growing with
rapid strides.

BUT THEY WON'T TAKE WARNING.

The new administration of this
city has had two bitter eXpe-
riences as the result of electing
to responsible positions men
whom it knew nothing about.
New faces have caused it to for
get old friends, which it is never
wise to do. The Grass and Clardy
incidents should serve as solemn
warnings. Charlotte Observer.
The above from the Observer
shows how much better it would
have been for the people of that
city to have employed a man that
had shown himself worthy OF
their confidence. But showing
favor for the stranger has beer
the custom so long that many
men feel that they can always dc
much better in some other place
than at the home in which they
were reared, and what they &C
complish in a strange place us
ually shows that such is reall!
the case.
Take in Durham, for instance
No sooner had the contract for ;
new Y. NJ. c. A. been let than i
was announced that a committee
had been appointed to see abou
securing a man to be at the heat
of the institution when it wa
opened, and the announcement
Showed plainly that such a mai
would not be selected in Durham
Was such the case because w
have no man in Durham capabl
of attending to these duties ? w
believe not, but just why such
thing should be we are not pre-
pared to say.
People form other places shout
be encouraged to come here, bu
the men that have stood by tn
town and shown themselve
worthy of any confidence shout
be given the preference.

trophy, in which will be entered
only flying machines of the
heavier-than-air type.
In an interview with Israel
Ludlow, Director of Aerenautics
of the jamestown Exposition,
the first list of the probable con-
testants has been secured.
Mr.. Ludlow himself is now
putting the finishing touches on
his latest aeroplane, which will
enter the contest. The engine
for the machine has just arrived
from the builders, and the aero
plane will be tried out some time
during the present months. Mr..
Ludlow states that this machine
is 40x25 feet in size, and twice
as large as any he has hereto
fore constructed. When it en-
tiers the Scientific American con-
test, Capt. T. T. Love will be
the naviator. The machine is on
a pontoon boat and its designer
expects to have a torpedo boat
to tow it on the day of the con-
test.
The contest will take place
over Lees Parade grounds and
the waters of Hampton Roads,
just off the Exposition grounds.
The rules covering the compete
ton, which have been published,
were formulated by the Aero
Club oe America. The trophy
offered by the Scientific Ameri
can is valued at 100000 and il
is open to competition by inven
tors the world over.
This will be the Inauguration
of a series of competitions which
will in the future be held annu
ally. The machine which accom-
plishes the required flight in tn
shortest time and with the bes
display of stability and ease o
control, shall be declared win
ner.

Major Guthrie, sC0lOred, viii Pay for
Crime With His Life.

Saturday afternoon at 2::30
o'clock Judge Council passed the
sentence of death upon Major
Guthrie, colored, who was con-
victed last week of numbering
his wife several months ago.
The date set by His Honor is
Friday. October 18th, between
the hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. m.
In passing sentence upon the
negro, Judge Council said that
it was one of the painful duties
of a Judge to have to pronounce
the words that would hurl a hui
man being into eternity, but SYM
pathy for the prisoner could not
be entertained and the majesty
of the law must be upheld. AT
ter hesitating few minutes he
then passed the sentence as sta
ted above.
Before sentence was passed
Mr.. Benjamin Lovingstein, at
torney for the defendant made a
motion for a new trial, but this
was Ioverruled. He then made
two other motions on the grounds
of incompetent witnesses and the
fact that one of the jurymens
children had been killed just be-
fore the completion of the tria
and that said juror was in nj
condition to render an intelligent
verdict. Both of these motions
were overruled by His Honor
and it was then that Mr.. Lovin
stein gave notice that he woult
carry the case to the suprem'
court, in order to try and get
new trial.
