JAS. SEGU|NE
DEAD AT 81
YEARS OF AGE

James Seguine, said to have been
the oldest man in this city,, died at
his home, SO Front street, about 9.1O
o'clock Saturday night. Aside from
la little trouble with dropsy, he had,
until very recently, enjoyed good
health.
1t was while his son-in-law
Charles E. Kliemandt, was assisting
him to his room, that the end came
peacefully. He was ninety-four years
and five months old, and was born
in this city in 1903. He had resided
here all his life, almost in the same
neighborhood where he died. He
was in the employ of the Staten ISL
and Rapid Transit ferry company at
the foot of Smith street for twenty
seven years, until seven years ago,
when he was forced to retire on ac-
count of his advanced age. He served
in the capacity of bridgeman, ticket
chopper and agent.
Long before the ferry wos operated
between this city and Tottenville,
Mr.. Seguine rowed a boat between
these two points and also between
this city and South Amboy. He was
one of the first port wardens and
harbor masters this city ever had.
He is survived by three children,
two sons and a daughter, Mrs. C. E.
Kliemandt, and Alex and Lake Sc
guine, all of this city. The funeral
will take place from his late resi-
dence at o'clock tomorrow after
noon Rev. James L. Lancaster, rec
tor of St Peters Episcopal church,
will officiate. Interment will follow
in Alpine cemetery.

TWO COAL
BARGES GO
TO BOTTOM

NEW YORK, Jan. Ga tale OF
disaster drifted into the rehabilitated
Snip News Office, in the darkest tower
OF the Barge Office, just as the ultra
marines were about going into the
open to get glimpse of daylight and
breath of real air. The tale was
that two coal laden barges had gone
down a mile east of Romer Shoal and
that all hands had been lost. Later
there came another yarn. Folks who
read must take it temporarily as II
is here related, as the Lehigh Valley
tug Wyoming is not equipped with
wireless and may not get into Provi-
dence, r. l., until today. She had
in tow the two barges that really did
go down. She had also four other
barges, two with masts and four
without, and she was taking half of
the fotilla to Providence and the
other half to Boston
The Wyoming left Perth Amboy at
II O'Clock yesterday morning After
passing out of Raritan bay into the
open she found some nasty north
westerly weather. There was half a
gale blowing, punctuated with frosty
squalls, and the sternmost barges
made heavy weather of it. They
banged against each other and finally
their seams parted and the Atlantic
began coming in. The barge crews
set signals of distress and the Wy
oming went alongside and took off
all hands. The two colliers founder
ed and the Wyoming proceeded.
Maybe there are about 1000 tons of
coal on the ocean bottom about a
mile east of the Romer.

ARCHITECT To
SUE GUIGUES
FOR DAMAGES

NEWARK, Jan. 6:-James s. Pi-
gott, an architect of Newark, says
that he will bring suit for damages
for false arrest and defamation of
character against A. A. Guigues this
week. The suit will be the result of
the alleged removal of hardware to
the value of S400 from a house in
Perth Amboy by Mr.. Pigott.
The latter was arrested on Decem-
Der 26 on a warrant sworn out by
A. A. Guigues. The warrant charged
Mr.. Pigott with breaking and enter
ing private residence in the process
of construction, the property of Mr..
Guigues, and removing the $400
worth of hardware. The arrest
attracted considerable attention
throughout the county. The trial
was held last Thursday, before Re-
corder Pickersgill, in Perth Amboy.
According to the testimony, the
material was removed upon tho or
der of Mr.. Pigott because of certain
changes that were considered neces-
sary, and in order to protect it. The
court allowed that Mr.. Pigott was
and is the architect of the house in
question, located on the bay front at
Perth Amboy, and which is about
two-thirds completed The court also
held that, as the architect, Mr.. Pigott
had right to enter the building and
remove any part of the material or
work that was not In accord with the
contract, from the premises.
The grounds of Mr.. Guigues for
causing the arrest are that Pigott had
discharged himself as architect of the
structure by bringing suit for SER
vices rendered on the building. But
Mr.. Pigott explained that the suit
was for professional services render
ed for Guigues's Newark factory and
for plans of house previously con-
templated. Mr.. Guigues claimed that
Mr.. Pigott carried off the material
satisfy his claims; but, according to
a statement, the material was re-
moved by the contractors, and EN-
ployes of Guigues assisted them, upon
orders of Mr.. Pigott. 1t is estimate Z
that the private dwelling will cost
about 100000 when completed. Lit
tie or no work has been done on the
building for some months.

dfctments. He was indicted for hav-
ing committed an assault on Con-
stable Jones F. O'Brien, of Perth

ed weapons.

struction by the city OF system OF
conduits for underground wires. At
tenuon to the neeG OF compiling the
city ordinances may be called, as il
was in the last message.
The mayor is also known to favor
a new city charter and 1t is probable
that he will recommend that the
necessary legislation be sought. He
also wants an additional school
house. This request was made last
year by the mayor.
The mayor, it is understood. will
also advocate that paid fire depart
ment, known as the Buffalo sys-
tenn" be established. With this sys-
TEN some of the members are paid
while others are partly paid. 1t
means that a chief and fifteen men
be in constant service, and that they
be quartered in the different fire
houses, also that about ten men of
each company receive a stipulated
sum for every fire they attend, or a
small annual salary.
That new building code be put
into effect may also be a suggestion
of the mayor, and 1t is said that he
will ask that the aldermen ADOPT a
rule compelling city officers to show
the amount of money received and
distributed by them be passed

FOR
BIC CORNER

A number of local people are con-
sidering plans for erecting a five or
more story building, on the north
east corner of Smith street and
Madison avenue, on the property
now owned by B. Goldman. The
scheme has been submitted to Mr..
Goldman, who favors it. 1t is the
intention of those interested to erect
a building covering all the ground at
this point. The first floor will be
used for store purposes, and will be
divided into four or five compart-
ments. The remaining floors will be
used for various amusement enter
prises, such as a dance hall, roller
skating rink, moving picture shows
and perhaps lodge or other large
meeting room.
AS yet the scheme is only at its
infancy, but plans are rapidly devel-
oping and matters may materialize.
