divisions. These Goals, Mr.. Arner
said, were the best in the market. 1t
was also stated by Mr.. Arner that all
the local dealers were willing to have
the 1aRitors of the schools present
when the coal was weighed, or to
have their clerks make affidavits that
there were 2,4OO pounds to each ton.
Commissioner Seaman said that
all he had in mind when he made
the suggestion about carload lots at
the last meeting, was to get it in bet-
ter business shape. "If one kind Of
coal Is better than another 1t should
have been specified in the advertise-
ment," he stated.
Commissioner Moore suggested
that II the board got coal that was
poor from local dealer at any time,
that the dealer be cut out in the
future
On motion the bids of the eight
local dealers who at the last meeting
offered to supply 1000 tons, more or
less, at $6El5 a ton, were accepted,
and the purchases will be divided
among them. The certified checks oa
all were ordered returned, after
which Commissioner Larson asked
how they could be made to live up to
their agreement. The matter was
discussed and 1t was decided that the
local dealers agreement was sufi-
cieDt, as in case they failed the board
could proceed against them.

WOODBRIDGE
TESTIMONY is
INTERESTING
Six New Witnesses Summoned
iHHeaTIHg Before Commits
slOneT John ". Beskman.
CONTRACTOR on STAND
Nj. Thumsen Does Not Explain
How He Arrived alFiguTs for
prICs.

The taking of testimony in the
case of Thomas f. Dunigan VS.. the
Township Of Woodbridge is being
continued today in Beekman &
Spencer's law Offices, before John w.
Beekman, as Supreme Court Commits
sioner and will probably be contin-
ued on Monday. There remains a
long list of witnesses yet to be heard
for the plaintiff six new ones having
sbeen summoned today.
Every witness gives considerable
interesting testimony. Following
the testimony given by Township En-
gineer Forrest L. Smith yesterday,
Contractor w. r. Thomson, the high
est bidder who was awarded the con-
tract for woodbridge avenue, was
put on the stand. He told of accept
ing the contract at $1.18 per square
yard, but he refused to tell as to how
he arrived at those figures. He tes-
titled that 15 per cent. of that amount
was profit.
The hearing was continued at 10
O'Clock this morning in Beekman &
Spencer's offices, with large num-
Der Of Woodbridge people present.
Contractor w. r. Thomson was
placed on the stand for time this
morning and testified that the work
on Grove street and other streets
done by Mr.. Dunigan showed incom-
petent workmanship.
John s. Dooley, chairman of the
township committee, was next placed
on the stand. The attorney for the
plaintiff experienced considerable
difficulty in getting proper answers
from the witness, who appeared quite
nervous. At first the chairman tes-
titled that he and the other commit
teemen had discovered that the work
on Grove street and others was Inn
properly done. This he said, had
been decided, following a test by En-
gineer Smith. He said that Contract
or DUNCAN had told him that Grove
street would be repaired. In an eff
fort to ascertain as to whether or not
Mr.. Dooley had been told by the con-
tractor that the Grove street maca-
dam was not up to the standard, Mr..
Adrain was unsuccessful, after re-
peated attempts. Mr., DooIey refus-
ed to mention the name of any of the
men he had spoken to regarding the
improper workmanship on Grove
street. Later the witness stated he
could not recall the names.
Robert Adrain, assisted by Peter
f. Daily, tried to ascertain from the
witness what happened after the
meeting of the committeeman of
June IL had been adjourned, but
they received but little information.
The witness said that the committee
men remained at the table, after the
audience had disappeared and that
two contracts were awarded.
At times the commissioner, John
w. Beekman, and the attorneys en-
gagged in verbal mix-up and three
different stenographers had been en-
gagged up to noon. others having been
adjudged incompetent.
Alan H. Strong and Ephraim CUT
ter appeared for the township, and
Peter F. Daily and Robert Adrain
represented Contractor DUNCAN, the
lowest bidder on the woodbridge
avenue job, who was not awarded the
contract

BROUGHT BACK
Detective Moran Gets Papers Sc
curing Her a Few Minutes A.
Ter Release from Lookup.
WAS TOLEAVE SYRACUSE
Mrs. MancinsIIi Is Surrendered
by Her BOndsman and Spends
Night Behind Local Bars.

Mrs. Frank Mancinelli and her two
children were brought to this city
from Syracuse, N. Y, at 1890 o'clock
last night by Constable James Nor
an, who went there Monday night,
for her bondsman, Rocco TerrioIo.
He at once turned her over to the
police and she spent the night in the
local lookup. This morning she was
surrendered by Mr.. Terriolo and taxi
en- to the county jail. Her children
were with her, but they will probably
be placed in home. .
Lawyer Thomas Brown Is Mr.. Ter
riolo's counsel and, as the latter
would have had to pay $500 If Mrs.
Mancinelli had not been here when
wanted by the grand jury, he de-
ctded to have. Moran go for her.
When Moran arrived he found that
Mrs. Mancinell was in custody, but
he was unable to take her in charge,
although he had what were believed
to be the necessary papers. She was
about to be discharged by the Syra-
cuse authorities, as they would not
hold her on the local constable's au-
thority and wanted a copy of the In
dictment. Mr.. Moran succeeded in
having the hearing adjourned until
yesterday morning and telegraphed
to Prosecutor Berdine for a copy of
the necessary paper. The paper ar
rived at Syracuse Thursday night but
1t was mislaid and Moran did not get
1t until yesterday morning, ten min
utee after Mrs. Mancineli had been
discharged.
He searched the city for her and
finally found her at the railroad sta
tion. She had In the meantime
pawned some of her jewelry to get
money with which to buy tickets.
Moran told her that he could have
her held for extradition and she fin
ally consented to accompany him to
this city.
She told the constable that she
would have come here of her own ac-
cord, but she feared that her hus-
band would take the children away
from her and that she would kill
herself rather than that.
She looked careworn and down
hearted this morning when she. was
taken from the cell.
She has been indicted by the
grand jury on charge of attempt
ing to kill Edward Guarino, who is
also in jail at New Brunswick, she
will probably be held without bail for
trial.
Reel Escaped from Hospital.
A copy of the st. townsville, N. ",
Enterprise was received today and
contains lengthy account of how
Tony Reel tried to escape from the
hospital at Amsterdam one day this
week. Reel has been recovering
rapidly and he put on his clothes
and, when no one was watching, he
left the institution.
His escape was discovered shortly
afterward and the sheriff, after
searching few hours, found him
and took him back. Reel is now un-
DIR guard.
