JERSEY CENTRAL LAYS s.
DURING NIGHT.
Crossing Of Public Service Right of

them to be taken up again, so the
Jersey Central quietly determined to
lay their rails across the Public Ser
vice tracks at once SO as to be in
possession if a fight is to be made.
Accordingly, large force of men
were held in reserve and as the hour
of midnight approached last night,
they were hurried to the crossing
where they set to work removing the
Public Service rails, replacing them
with frogs. Thus the Jersey Central
rails on each side of the Public Ser
vice tracks were connected and with
in an hour or two, both roads were
In a position to be operated
The crew on the first Public Ser
vice trolley car which arrived here
this morning was not little sur
prised to find the crossing completed
during the night. This means that
the Jersey Central now is in possess
sion of its right of way through the
borough and it now remains to get
through the hole-in-the-wall and on
to the bridge toward Perth Amboy.
1t now looks as If cars would be
running between the two Amboys
next summer.
This morning an injunction was
served on the Jersey Central Trac-
tion Company at the instigation of
the Public Service Corporation stop
ping all work on the part of the Jer-
sey Central anywhere in the borough.
This doubtless means tie-up of the
matter until the case can be settled in
the courts.

speo,a, to the EVENING NEWS:


SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 16:-The
Jersey Central Traction Company
stole march on the Public Service
Corporation last night when it sue
ceeded in laying it's rails across those
of the Public Service in this borough,
thus connecting it's line and opening
its road direct from Red Bank and
Keyport to the borough limits to-
ward the Raritan river bridge.
The first car of the Jersey Central
passed over its track in the borough
about noon yesterday AS the poles
are not in position, horses were at
tached to the car and it was thus
pulled through the streets. Several
persons were on board and they SEEM
ed to enjoy the novelty of the situa-
tion immensely. Among them was
Freeholder John e. Montgomery.
Everything went along nicely un-
til the crossing of the Public Service
tracks was reached. The Jersey Cen
trail rails had been laid on both sides
of its rival and those on the car had
to get out and push the vehicle over
the blank place. The road was form
ally opened, however, and everything
seemed to be in excellent condition
excepting the crossing already men,
toned.
1t had become known that the
Public Service Corporation was to
take action in the courts to prevent
the Jersey Central crossing it's right
of way. Once rails are down 1t takes
a long and bitter legal fight to force

MAY HAVE SET
FIRE TO HAY
Victims Of Fatal Blaze Thought
10 Have Accidentally
Caused il.
CORONER INVESTIGATES CASE

Coroner Bishop has investigated
the death of Steve and Louis Harlan,
who were burned to death in a fire
at the place owned by Adam Huber,
on the 1selin road, near Woodbridge,
Thursday night.
The coroner has come to the con-
clusion that the Harlan brothers may
have accidentally caused the fire AS
told in the NEWS yesterday, these
men work every fall on the Huber
farm, husking corn and doing general
farm work. AS usual they slept in
the barn, which was filled with hay,
Thursday night. 1t is thought that
they were smoking before going to
sleep, which in some way ignited the
hay. The bodies are now at the
morgue of Undertaken Robert A. Hir-
ner in Woodbridge. The coroner is
communicating with sister of the
dead men, who is thought to live in
Elizabeth.

UNCLE JOSH"
SPRY AS EVER
Majestic Was Packed TO the
Doors at Performance The
Old Homestead"
TEARS AND LAUGHTER MINGLE

The Old Homestead" with it's
quaint rural humor and old-time drol-
lery, pleased in every way the record
breaking audiences at the Majestic
theatre yesterday afternoon and last
night. The playhouse was filled
from pit to dome and that the famous
old play, which has made a genera
tion laugh, appealed to those who
saw it, there was every evidence.
The first act with it's typical farm
house, the old homestead of Denman
Thompson at Swanzey, N. H., the
sweet-voiced double male quartet of
farm hands, the visit of city folks,
and the introduction of the various
Swanzey characters, put the audience
of the play, with Joshua Whitcomb's
visit to his old schoolmate in New
York, and his finding of his son, after
many perplexing experiences. The
last act, with the family reunion un-
der the old home roof, was equal to
what had gone before.
The company, with a few eXcep-
tions, was the same as that seen in
New York and Newark. William
Lawrence, in Denman Thompson
role of Joshua, is well equal to the
task. Horace Rushby in his finely
drawn character of Cy Prime kept
the theatre-goers in laughter, and
Frank Knapp made Eb Ganzey
genuine country chore boy. whose
greatest idea of joke was to eat up
all the pie in the house when they
had company. Fred Clare's por-
trayal of Happy Jack Hazard is dis
tinctively real, and the rest of the
company are well cast.

a local Pennsylvania official stated
Friday that notwithstanding the con-

railroad had decided 10 meet the s.
rate of the c., c. & L. railroad be-
tween Cincinnati and Chicago. Ii
this is the case the issue between the

big cities is sGuarely drawn, and a
rate war OF unusual aggressiveness
is promised What action the Penn
sylvania will take is not known local
~ The Monon, it is thought, Will
also meet the 50 rate. The C.. G. & L..
however stated at the beginning Of
the war, that unless its differential is
accepted by other roads, the line
would keep cutting the rate between
the two points till the other roads
would have to recognize the differen-
tial 1t is thus that there IS no I'M
mediate prospect of a settlement OF
the differences between the oder
lines and the younger one, If the Big
