PLACES FILLED

A number of strikers on the Le-
high Valley railroad gathered in the
upper yard of the company and re-
sumed shooting and throwing stones
at the brakemen last night, and 1t
was necessary to send number of
policemen to the yard to chase them
away.

LARGEST TUG
EVER BUILT IN
U. S. IN PORT

The Paul Jones, said to be the larg-
est tugboat ever built in the United
States, Is now docked at the Merritt
wharf, foot of Fayette street, this
city, awaiting the loading with coal at
will be towed to Providence, R. I.
The Paul Jones was built In the
spring of 1904, and has been busy
ever since. The tug Is 189 feet long,
has 39-foot beam and 20 " foot
hold. The commander Is Captain A.
L. Huntley, of New London, Conn,
one of the best-known men in the
service. Besides the vessel carries a
crew Of eighteen men. The chief
mate is A. r. Harker, and the second
mate is Robert McCloy. The chief
enginees is R. w. Dean, and the first
assistant, w. B. Wood.
This morning when a NEWS re-
porter visited the big boat, he found
the crew busily engaged in washing
down the decks. Captain Huntley
said that the Paul Jones had arrived
here yesterday from Providence. The
tug coaled at South Amboy last night.
When asked If he thought 1t paid
to have such large tugboat as the
Paul Jones hauling barges from
South Amboy to Providence, r. l.,
Captain Huntley said that, while he
did not suppose that 1t did pay, the
owners thought II better to do this
than to tie up the boat as would
otherwise have been the result, when
other work is lacking.
Since this tug has been built, 1t
has been in the southern trade, but
the falling off Of this trade has caused
its owners, the Thames Tow Boat
Company, to use 1t in towing coal
barges, as it is we'll adapted for this
line of work.
When the seven-masted schooner
Thomas w. Lawson, which was re-
Gently lost Of the English coast, was
in the southern oil trade, the Paul
Jones towed 1t between Philadelphia
and Sabine Pass, Texas, at different
times from September % to April IA.
Down in the engine room of the
huge tug, everything Is spick and
span and the chief engineer is always
on the watch to see that things are
done in the right way. The engines
are Of 1000 horsepower triple expan-
sion, and are 21, 81 and SO in d.
ameter, with 36-inch stroke.
Captain Huntley said he expected
the tow at South Amboy to be ready
tonight and he hopes to get away
early tomorrow morning. Many went
to the dock to have look at the boat
today.
