BASEBALL.
|</////<</////>

Hot Springs baseball fans had their first glimpse at stars of the major leagues yesterday afternoon at Wilmington Park, when the New York Americans, under the chaper- onage of genial Clark Griffith. met q picked team composed of some members of the Boston Americans, some minors and a few of the men who will wear Hot Springs uni the Hot Springs Sentinel-Record.
 Probably of large interest to the local fans will be the an announce. nent that the visiting players of the major leagues did not participate :n the receipts at the box office. but instead showed their sallantry for an infant move by demanding that the money all 90 toward the eX- pense of organizing a local team in the league.

Lou Cri- ger, lesser in weight but no less lr the estimation of baseball fans of the country. did the receiving.
 Big Jack Chesbro started in to pitch for the New Works. and after he had warmed up sufficiently, Hogg took the next few innings. The game closed with smiling Al Orth on the slab, toying with his opposition.

 The Detroit champions, cham pions of their league, if not worlds champions, are here, and were about the park in the afternoon.

RESCUED FROM
WATERY GRAVE
IN ASTRUGGLE
William CLARK Became TempOTar-
lily DeTaBged and Lsaped into
The Sound from Barge.
SAVED BYNEGRO ON BOAT
TughOat Then Came AIOHg and
Aided COlOred Hero Clark
Was Securely Bound.

William Clark, twenty-five years
old, of Oswego, N. Y, tried to end
his life by jumping from the Lehigh
Valley Barge Buckner, in the sound
shortly after o'clock last night. A
negro on the same boat saw the oc-
currence and jumped in after him.
Clark seemed to be suffering with
a fit or a form of temporary insanity,
and 1t was with dificulty that his
rescuer kept him afoat until the crew
of the tugboat, Admiral Farragut,
came to his assistance. Clark was
brought ashore and his actions on
the dock gave rise to the belief that
he was demented. 1t required the
combined efforts of several men to
hold him until Detective HUFF, Pa
trolman Quinlan and Patrolman
Meshrow arrived.
One man, while assisting to over
power Clark, received a hard blow
In the face, and it was deemed adj
visable to tie Clark's hands and feet.
The ambulance was called and, with
the police In charge, Clark was re-
moved to the lookup, where he was
held until this morning.
When questioned by Acting Re-
corder Colyer, Clark, who seemed
fully recovered, said that he was a
deckhand ON the barge and that at
the time he jumped overheard, it
was starting out for Boston. When
asked why he jumped overheard,
Clark said he guessed he must have
had a fit. The recorder discharged
him after telling him to get out of
town as soon as possible.
The prisoner said he was in a bad
fix as all of his money and clothing
were on the barge and that he had
no friends in this vicinity. The po-
lice said he would have to do the
best he could, SO Clark, clad only In
a torn shirt and a pair of overalls,
and with bare feet, left for the shore
front.
Chief Burke said that Clark had
been In court once before for disor-
derly conduct.

New Brunswick, July 17:-On
application of the heirs of the late
G. w. Beynton, Surrogate Daily today

ON THEs
PROSECUTOR

New Brunswick, July 17:-It is
reported that a petition is being civ
culated through the county,
prosecutor Georges-n~lslrhe, tarrhe whose
term will not expive until next March.
II is said that one or two government
officials and a former state oficiaI'
are behind It.
Nobody however, seems to know
anything definite about 1t, in spite Of
the report that over 1000 signers
have been secured. 1t is the plan, it
is claimed, to get everybody In the
county who will sign 1t.
There is feeling that If such Is
the case 1t is an unwise and indis-
Greet thing to attempt to discredit
the prosecutor at very critical time
In his official duties and that the Pc
tition should have been delayed until
the term expires. 1t is said that the
movement includes several with per-
sonal feeling against the prosecutor.

ON THE
WOODBRIDGE
IMPROVEMENT
Testimony in the Case Of Thomas
F. DUNCAN Against the Town
ship Proves Interesting.
FOUND TOO MUCH DIRT
Engineer Testifiss That in Soma
Places MaCadam Was Only
! IL Inches Thick.

Testimony was taken in the case
OF Thomas F. DUNCAN VS.. the town
ship of Woodbridge, this morning,
before John w. Beekman, as su-
preme court Commissioners. The case
in question involves the awarding of
a contract for macadamizing Wood
bridge avenue from Woodbridge to
Avenel, which was awarded to w. r..
Thomson, the highest bidder. The
proceedings, which are being heard
In Beekman & Spencer's law Offices,
will take all day. They haVa already
brought some interesting testimony
to light regarding many Woodbridge
township roads.
Township Surveyor Forrest L..
Smith was the first witness called
this morning. He told of the material
that had entered into the construc-
tion of Grove street, Freeman ave-
nue., New street and Second street
He told of finding 33 1-3 per cent. of
dirt on Grove street, which should
really be 10 per cent. He testified
that the macadam was only one-and-
a-half inches deep In places and told
Of surface depressions and wagon
wheel tracks.
Regarding Freeman avenue, Mr.
Smith said 1t had a good binder and
was constructed of good stone. New
street, he said, had been completed
three weeks and makes a good ap-
pearance. The macadam is "A inch
es deep in the centre and 6 % inches
deep at the edge. 1t has forty per
cent. of dirt binder. Regarding Sec
ond street, the township engineer
aoih hn hod
and found an average depth Of ma
cadam of 8 II to "a inches. 1t has
a new appearance and the maeadam
lays two inches below the top of
sewer manholes. 1t has the proper
amount of binder, which is 10 per
cent.
Robert Adrain, appearing for the
grieved contractor, examined Mr.
Smith closely regarding the relative
cost of macadamizing roads, particu-
larly in the location of Woodbridge
avenue. Mr.. Smith testified that
$1.18 per yard for the usual maca-
dam would be the right compensa-
tion for material and labor. For
such an amount, he said, an eight
inch macadam in three sizes could be
laid. In answering a question given
by Mr.. Adrain, as to how much the
township would save should the
work have been given out to a COM
petent contractor at ninety-three
cents a square yard, Mr.. Smith said
that the township would save
$28775.
Ephraim Cutter appeared for the
township. The members of the
township committee are on hand.
They are: John s. Dooley, chairman;
Howard Pender, r. r. Lee, Anton
Coleman and Michael Leahey.

TRADE
is HOT AFTER
new FACTORY
Committee Appointed Last Night
10 Assist in Securing Size for
Cloak Concern.
TO ADVERTISE THE CITY
Place AdVsTtissmeniin New York
Herald Twice Monthly = Would
Meet in Council Chamber.

At the meeting of the Board of
Trade, last night, much interest was
manifested in the effort being made
to secure new industries for this
city. 1t was brought out that the
cloak concern has site in view here
and will probably buy provided the
price is satisfactory. A committee,
consisting of Peter A. Johansen, d.
P. Olmstead and Edward M. Kelly,
was appointed to see what can be
done in this matter.
1t was stated that other towns
are hard after this concern. Free
hold has offered free site and ex-
emption from taxes for a period of
years IL 1t will locate there. The
Board of Trade will do its best, how
ever, to bring it here.
A committee was appointed to
make arrangements for the market
opening next month. On this COM
mittee are d. p. Olmstead, Louis
Kreielsheimer and Frank HilsAorf.
1t was decided to place an adver-
tisement In the New York Herald
twice a month. setting forth the ad-
vantages of Perth Amboy as a man
ufacturing city. The attention of
the members was called to the fact
that the lace manufacturer who is
coming here to look over the city
next week, had the advantages OF
this city brought before him by the
writeup which appeared in the New
York Herald recently. The manu-
facturer was spending the Sunday at
Long Branch and read about Perth
Amboy In the Sunday Herald. He
wrote at once to the secretary of the
Board Of Trade and there is a possi-
bility Of him bringing his factory
here. 1t was shown that it pays to
advertise, even cities.
The board, since its organization,
has been meeting in the EVENING
NEWS office. Owing to the growth
of the organization, however, and
the interest manifested by the mem
bers, larger quarters are desirable.
The secretary was instructed to
write to the Board of Aldermen and
ask for permission to meet in the
council chamber.

home there. Arrangements were
then made for having the grand jury
summoned. The justice will 60 to
