ONE WAY TO MAKE
THE AZALEA BLOOM
Careful Treatment Of Hardy Plant
Will Produce Flowers in
February.

When one purchases a beautiful
blooming azaIea and it grows for years
without blooming, It is rather dis
heartening to keep Il.
Many persons have had success with
the nOn-bIOOming kinds by the follow
ing method: During the summer the
azalea was kept IN the sun. It was well
watered and cared for the same as
other summer flowers. In September
the flower was lifted. placed in very
rich soil and given a sunny place IN
the room.
In November the plant was given
plant food and plenty Of sunshine, and
il bloOmed in February. the month
when one longs for bright flowers. The
azalea, while a hardy-looking plant, re-
quires much attention.

BADLY BITTEN
BY PRISONER
But Nan Who Mas Wanted fOr
Assault on Fred Meyer
Made His Escape.
SON TO wElTzEws AID

A row in the Rosett building at
State and William streets was the
casue of considerable excitement in
North Amboy shortly before o'clock
this morning
According to the police, the row
was caused by an unknown man hit
ting Fred Meyer over the head with
a slung shot, made of a stone and
handkerchief. The assailant fed
to Hall avenue with a bowling mob
In chase. When he reached the
house of John Sits, at So Cortlandt
street, he rushed inside to protect
himself. Someone notified PATROL
man Weitzen, who lives nearby, and
asked him to arrest the man. The
policeman, who had been on duty all
night, hurriedly dressed and went
into the house to get the man. Sits
intercepted him and when the Of
ficer insisted on entering, grappled
with him and tried to prevent him
from going up the stairs. Sits
scratched the polieeman's face and
bit him severely on the arm. He was
finally subdued and placed In charge
of Steve Dimko, who said he would
hold him while the policeman's son
went for wrist chain.
Weitzen, with his face covered
with blood, then started into the
house again to get the fugitive, but
by this time he had escaped.
Before the policeman's son return
ed, Weitzen was attacked by some of
Stis's friends and he and Dimko were
soon in the midst of the melee. When
young Weitzen came back ho had a
pair of handouts instead of a chain,
and, seeing his father at the bottom
of the pile of struggling humanity,
he thought that Dimko, who seemed
to be near the top, was one of the
assailants of his parent. He quick
ly hit Dimko over the head with the
irons, inficting a nasty wound. Dim
ko became infuriated by pain and
struck out madly with his fists.
knocking down men and women
alike. He was finally overpowered
and, with Sits, was taken to the lock-
up by Patrolmen l.. G.. Jensen and
Chris Hanson, who mad arrived In
the meantime. 1t is said that Pa
trolman Weitzen's wife had two
teeth knocked out by Dimko, as she
stood watching the row
Stis gave his age as forty years and
Dimko said he was forty-two. The
latter furnished 5000 bail for a hear
ing and was released, but the. former
is still in cell, on charge of may

Pickpockets were at work in this

CARNIVAL
BEST IN ITS HISTORY
Baby Parade in Afternoon Proved a
Great Surprise Evening Hum
inatiOn Dazzling Many Prizes.
AMBOYANS VIEW The SPECTACLE

Keyport's gala day passed of in
q blaze of glory and the town across
the bay scored the greatest success
in its history. The program lasted
from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until
late last night and every detail was
carried out to perfection.
While the fireworks and illuminat-
ed boat parade in the evening and
the procession of flremen. business
men and floats on land in the early
afternoon surpassed their predeces-
sors, the real big surprise was the
baby parade.
This started at 4 o'clock, following
the first event. Main street was
cleared of all traffic for the babies
and the number in line and the char
acter of the decorations exceeded all
expectations. There were as many
in the spectacle as in that at Asbury
Park last year and the entrants made
such a remarkable showing that the
committee has practically decided to
double the number of prizes, making
fifty in all, and to award forty or
fifty honorable mentions.
In the fancy costume class alone
there were 175 entries.
Only four prizes had been provided
for this class, and, when 1t is consid-
cred that every one of the particle
pants presented a splendid showing,
1t can be seen how diflcult would be
the task Of the judges II the number

RESIDENTS OF
MECHANIC ST.
ARE AROUSED
Up In Arms Against OdOTS and
Smoke from Chemical Works
and Tell Of Nuisance.
APPEAL TO AUTHsRITIEs

A number of Mechanic street
people were present at last nights
council meeting and Alexander
Konopka addressed the aldermen in
complaint against the smoke and
noise from the chemical works. He
said they had twice sent letters to
the Board of Health and received no
satisfaction.
Messre. Voorhees, and Cannon
said that they thought 1t was mat
ter for the health board.
Mr.. Konopka also complained of
stone and ashes in the street. Mr..
Dalton said 1t was the purpose of
the street comm issioner to remove
the stone from that place as soon as
possible. 1t has been offered to, and
accepted by, the city. Alderman
Schultz said it is the smoke and
odors which bother the people and
not the stone.
He said 1t is impossible for them
to endure the nuisance much longer.
They are unable to sleep and their
children are sick, Mr.. Schultz said
He declared that it will be carried
to the attention of the State Board
of Health IL the local health depart
ment does not act.
A delegation of indignant proper
ty-owners will probably appear be-
fore the Board Of Health tonight.
The women of Mechanic street
are aroused to no less degree than
their husbands, and ten or twelve of
them went to police headquarters
last night to complain of the chem
ical works nuisance. They were
directed to the home of Deputy
Health Inspector Brewster.

BANNER DAY
FOR MARKET
IN THIS CITY
Over 100 Wagons Line the Curb
and Hundreds Buy from The
Farmers More Than Ever.
POLICE KEEP EXCELLENT ORDER

This was the greatest day the mar
ket, so recently established in this
city, has yet experienced. 1t is evil
dent that the news Is spreading
among the farmers. The wagons be-
gan to arrive by o'clock this morn
ing and they kept coming in until
after 8 o'clock. There were over 100
wagons lined up along the curb at
the fiatiron at New Brunswick avenue
and into Madison avenue. Hundreds
of people were buying and by noon
all the wagons were practically sold
out.
Not all the wagons belonged 10
produce dealers find 1t a good place
to dispose of their truck too, and
they lined up along the curb with
the farmers. This cannot be pre-
vented as the market is open to all
who wish to sell.
Peaches began to make their ap-
pearance in quantities for the first
time today. There were some beau
ties for a 81 basket. Others were
down to ninety cents. Tomatoes and
sweet corn continued the favorites.
That the farmers are talking 1t
over among themselves is evident,
and those who have not tried the
market are coming inwith their pro-
duce. More may be expected here
after, as the news gets chance to
spread. One of the reasons, 1t is said,
Is that the New York market is in
bad shape just at present. The farm
ers say they can hardly make their
freight by shipping there. They are
glad, therefore, for a chance to get
at a place like Perth Amboy.
Fish dealers were noticed among
the wagons today. This means that
the market is branching out. 1t is
evident now that nothing can stop it.
The dealers in all sorts of produce
know where to look for the house
wife on Tuesdays and Fridays and
they can be depended upon to be
there.
This is the first day the city has
taken charge of the market and 1t
shows good results Two policemen
were detailed there, but Chief Burke
and others were on hand. They had
the farmers lined up in excellent or
der and everything passed off salts
factorily AS the market is Develop
ed It is evident that 1t Is to be of
great benefit to the city.
The Board of Trade has investi-
gators out learning the rules and reg
ulations that govern the other mar
kets They have been to Freehold
and to Red Bank. Today inquiries
arc being made in Newark In this
way 1t is hoped to work out the prob
lem here.

The 1iremen were called out by an
alarm from box Sc, at Hall avenue
and Charles street, shortly before
$50 o'clock this morning to fight a
fire, believed to be of incendiary
origin, in the saloon OF Theodore
Lenchinski, at SO Charles street.
Patrolman Gutowski was walking
by the place at 800 o'clock when he
discovered smoke Issuing from the
cellar. He broke into the door of
the building and, rushing to the
hoor above, aroused the occupants
who were fast asleep and nearly
overcome by the dense smoke.
After being sure that everyone was
out of the building the police man
ran and turned in an alarm. The
fremen were soon on the scene and,
after an hours work, succeeded in
extinguishing the three separate
fires in the same building. The fire.
men agree that the place must have
been set on fire as the odor of kero-
sene was prevalent and, at the seat
of each fire, were several barrels of
whiskey. One blaze was In the cell
lar, weber, besides the barrels, there
were a number of split railroad ties
and an old mattrass. Another fire
was In the extreme rear of the build
ing on the first floor and still another
in the middle, on the first floor. 1t
took the firemen some time to dis
cover all OF them but they did ex-
cellent work and the damage, it is
thought, will not exceed 5000.
The proprietor Of the saloon, who
is also the owner of the building, had
$4,000 insurance on the structure
and $1,000 ON the stock In the sa-
loon. One of the firemen told a
NEWS man this morning that he did
not think there was 5000 worth of
stock in the latter.
