BUILD VACUUM
ENGINE HERE.
Great Speed And Power At Low
Cost Promised By The
Inventor.
BEING MADE AT P. A. FOUNDRY

The Natural Air Power Company,
which has established an office in this
city, purposes to manufacture what is
called vacuum engine. A large
trial engine is now being made at
the Perth Amboy Foundry and Ma
chine Company's shops in Washing
ton street. The one being construct
ed is stationary engine, although
they may be made for traction pur-
poses.
The one now under construction
in this city, for which the patterns
have Just been completed is of the
ten n-cylinder type. Each cylinder is
five feet in diameter and with the
ten cylinders at work the engine is
capable of producing 1900 horse
power The engine Is not new en-
tirely, having been tried in Philadel-
phia recently on a railway with much
success. The engine is driven by
causing vacuum before each of the
pistons in turn, causing atmospheric
pressure, fifteen pounds to the square
inch, to move each of the pistons in
turn with high power and speed. The
vacuum in most cases is produced
with the assistance of a small steam
engine. The feature of the engine,
which was recently patented by G..
H. Goebel, of New York, is its low
cost of maintenance, great speed and
power. The inventor claims that with
such an engine an ordinary Cunard
Line steamer, which now burns about
400 tons of coal day, could be run
with about ton of coal a day with
the same, or even higher speed.
The model now being built in this
city will be completed in about five
months. Andrew Low, of this city, is
the president of the concern; Nels
Nelson is yice-president; j. w. Stew
ems, secretary, and w. Dooley, treas
urer. The company also has Offices
at 116 Nassau street in New York.

Superintendent Burns, of the wa

a number of houses turned off this
morning where the property owners
were in arrears.
Notice was given by the superin-
tendent some time ago that unless
the delinquent bills were paid be-
fore April the water would be shut
Off At that time there were about
zoo property owners whose bills
were unpaid. Since then many have
paid up and last night, before tho
meeting of the water board, the COM
missioners advised the superintend-
ent to turn off the water on those
who are still indebted to the depart
ment for water
Although it could be legally dones

perintendent Burns said few weeks
ago that he would be compelled to
take action unless the Board OF Edu-
cation paid the money.
Before the meeting last night. the

said that City Attorney Hommann
had given his opinion that the water
in the schools could be legally turn

that, although the bills should be
paid, the water supply would not be
interfered with.
The water department now has
about $4,000 worth of unpaid water
rents on their hands, part of which Is
the school indebtedness. The schools
are taxed $25 year for the water
used. The commissioners also dis
cussed the meter project last night
and the books of the department
were carefully examined by Con-
missioner Haney.

Thaw underwent a private mental

than two hours and was entirely alone
before the commission, even the dis

own counsel being barred. When the
commissioners had completed their
final examinations they in turn shook

that Mr.. Delmas might begin his sum

they said, Mr.. Jerome would address
the jury tomorrow. and verdict might
be expected by Saturday.

John Galligan, twenty-one years OF
age, a pipe-fitter, from New York,
was arrested at 5 o'clock this morn

Some one notified Quinlan that
there was a large fight in progress at
the hall about 4:45 O'Clock. He hur-

tered the door when someone hit
him in the face. The policeman saw
who had lit him and attempted to
place him under arrest. The man,
who proved TO be Galligan, resisted
and in few moments the policeman
and his assailant were rolling on the
floor.
In the meantime the members of
the crowd present, who had been

note of the whole subject when he
said that after the legislature had
enacted law the matter of enforce

The general explanation for the

When arraigned before the recor-

guilty and said that he was intoxi-
Gated at the time. He was released
after paying a fine of SIS. A friend
of the prisoner started an argument
in the court room and was elected.
Patrolman Quinlan, in speaking of
the disturbance this morning, said
that he was kicked several times and
that he felt sore all over A large
bump on his forehead and number
on the back of his head could easily
be felt. He says his uniform is prac-
tically ruined, having been torn and
dragged in the dirty floor. The po-
liceman says he is sorry that he did
not have assistance SO that the en-
tire mob could have been arrested.
One of the pipe-fitters told the po-

not care for the police as this was
only hayseed town. The pipe-fit-
ters are doing some work at the cigar
factory on Johnstone street.

1S. 1t was got out with the aid OF
Republican votes which was unex-

gossip,
The amendments are not numer-
Gus, but they would never have been
passed except with republican help,
as the three democrats who have re-
fused to stond by the coucus, voted
in the negative.
Mr.. Klenert supported the measure
in a short speech. Mr.. Barber, the
republican leader, opposed the bill,
declaring it. subterfuge by which
be largely vitiated. The scree nsec-
ton of the original bill was wiped
out and the responsibility of the land
lord was reduced.
Mr.. Crowther, of Middlesex, was
the first republican to intimate his
intention to support the bill He said
he was opposed to the screen feature
for one thing. Kienert then made
another little speech, and the vote
was taken it resulted as follows:
