PAVING

Streets Expired Several
Days Ago.
AUTHORITIES TO ACT.

Work has not yet begun on the
Gordon and Maple street pavements.
The Jersey Paving Corporation has
the contract for Gordon street and
w. G. Coates, of the same company,
has the contract for Maple street.
On June 10 the Board of Aldermen
notified the contractors to begin
work in fifteen days. That time ex-
pired last Wednesday. City Attorney
HOmmann said this morning that this
is the first time in his memory that
contractors have failed to take a
paving contract in this city after it
had been awarded to them. Mr.. HON.
mann said that some action will un-
doubtedly be taken at the next meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen. The
contract may be taken away from
these contractors and awarded to the
next bidder, or bids may be readver-
tised for.
1t is not known why the contract
ors have forfeited their right to the
contract in this way. AS the case is a
peculiar one, developments are await
ed with interest.

Charles A. Bloomfield Writes
Letter to Newark Sunday Call
Reviewing Bridge Case.
ACTIONS OF The JURIST

The attack made upon Justice Fort
by Charles A. Bloomfield, of Me-
tuchen, for the part which Mr.
Bloomfield says the justice took in
the Amboy bridge matter, has at
tracted statewide attention. Mr..
Bloomfield charges that the law
which was passed by the legislature
legalizing all past transactions on the
Amboy bridge, and which Mr.. Bloom
field calls "a law to legalize crime, .
was backed by Justice Fort.
After Mr.. Bloomfield made his at
tack an effort was made to get JUS
tice Forts version of the matter, but
the justice refused to talk. In con-
nection with this, Mr.. Bloomfield sent
the following letter to the Newark
Sunday Call, and it was published in
the Call yesterday:

The decision in the Tennessee copper

by the sulphuric and other acid fumes

MOB IN
SOU TIL
FERRY.
Negro Pushed Cateman Under
a Train-Crowd Wanted to
Lynch Him.
POLICEMEN SAVE HIM.

NEW YORK, July 8:-An infur-
lated mob of men attempted to lynch
William Curtis, negro, in the South
Ferry station of the subway this
morning, following narrow escape
from death of George Metzinger, an
aged gateman who had been pushed
under the wheels of a moving express
train by the negro. The crowd made
desperate attempt to wrest the
black man from the custody of the
police, and it was only after a stub
born fight that Curtis was locked up
in the Church street station.
While fifty excited men rushed at
the negro, and tried to tear him away
from Policemen McKenna, Hale, and
SimOns, of the Churcn street station,
others ran to get a rope. We'll
string him up right here" yelled the
crowd. The policemen drew their
clubs and warned the would-be-lynch-
ers to keep off, but the crowd rushed
in, striking and kicking at the negro,
who covered behind the bluecoats
Half dozen men who had gone
for rope returned with one, and
began to tie it to the top of the ticket
booth preparatory to stringing Curtis
up.
81 didn't push him." shrieked Cur
tbs as he looked first at the rope and
then at the form of the old man, who
had been pulled from almost certain
death by the crowd on the station
platform, and who lay there with
bleeding and badly injured arm.
'We saw you do it," shouted
score of men, as they redoubled their
efforts to get their hands on the
negro.
Then the policemen realized that
they would have to make qulck
move if they desired to save their
prisoner from summary punishment,
and they formed a flying wedge.
With McKenna in front, the negro
just behind him, and Hale and SIM
ons on each side, the Policemen,
fiouishirg their clubs, made dash
for the stairway.
The crowd closed in around them
and tried to break up the formation,
but the policemen swung their sticks
vigorously. and. after hard fight,
GOT their man to the top of the stairs.
MANY of the crowd rushed up on the
street and chased the policemen and
prisoner for block, but as soon as
the bluecoats got into the open they
had little difficulty in getting away.
The charge against Curtis was
sfelonious assault. Meantime, Metz
niger. who is sixty years OF age, was
being attended by DR.. Coverly.< of
Hudson Street Hospital, and he was
removed to the hospital for treat
ment.

OF
CAR SPRINKLER

A number of people are complain
ing about the trolley sprinkler. The
car has two streams of water, one
shooting from each side of the car.
One boy has to take charge of both
streams. While he is on one side of
the car, the stream on the other side
often strikes wagon, bicycle or Pc
destrian. 1t is the opinion of those
who have watched the car that there
should be two men to regulate the
streams of water. In this way fewer
people and vehicles would be drench-
ed by the sprinkler.
