in excise matters, as well as others
and
Whereas, 1t is known to all that
the provisions of what is known as
the Bishops law has been openly
violated; that liquor has been sold
during the prohibited hours; that the
screens have been kept up and the
bars not properly exposed, as re-
quired by law, therefore be 1t
Resolved, that this action and Or
der of the mayor meets with our
hearty approval and commentator.

fair fame of our city at heart; and
be 1t further
Resolved, that we will cooperate
with the mayor and the police in hav-
ing the law obeyed, and aid as far as
in our power in seeing that the

At the same meeting a committee
was appointed, and sum of money
appropriated and placed in their
hands, to aid in bringing violators of
the excise laws before the grand jury,

pieces by the long string of cars be-
hind the engine.
The engineer of the train evident
ly did not know that he had hit any,
thing, for the train did not stop and
the body was not discovered until
2:45 o'clock yesterday morning.
when trackwalker on his way to
this city came across it.

ESCAPE WHILE
FLAMES RAGE
Large Building at Port Reading
is Destroyed While It's
Italians Are Rescued.
THE CAUSE NOT ESTABLISHED
,ecial to the EVENING NEWS.


PORT READING, Jan. 27:-Fire,
caused by either lighted lamp or an
overheated stove, destroyed a large
frame building occupied by laborers
in the employ of De Vito G. Company,
Saturday night. The building was
occupied by 175 men, all of whom
managed to escape.
AT 9:15 O'Clock, laborer return
ing to the building noticed that the
place was in flames, and he gave the
alarm. The P. & R. railroad fire
company and the De Vito bucket bri-
gade responded, but the blaze had
gained good start, and the volun-
teer firemen could do little good. In
the meantime the Port Reading fire
department had been called out.
The blaze, which lit up the sky for
miles around, was plainly visible in
Perth Amboy and on Staten Island.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter this morning a member of the
De Vito firm said that the fire was
caused by either lamp or overhead
ed stove, that the damage was over
$4,000 and that no insurance was
carried. The firm had some trouble
some time ago about insurance, and.
since then, they have not carried any.
The building, which was built of
yellow pine, with galvanized iron
roof, was 350x27 feet. It was occu-
pied by IT'S laborers.
The place was owned by the P. &
R. railroad, but was leased by the De
Vito firm.
The firemen could not save the
building, but they did good work in
protecting two adjoining structures.

Staten Island, Railway, Woodbridge
and other places attended the annual
ball of Mohawk Council, Degree of
Pocahontas, in Washington hall, Sat-
urday night. The affair was success

attempt to stop the dancing at mid
night, so it was agreed that after
that hour the doors should be closed
and the reception became a private
one. Those who wanted to go out
could do so, but no one could enter.
Shortly after IL O'Clock the supper
march took place, led by Mr.. and
Mrs. William Dalton They were
followed by about sixty couples The
initials of the council were formed in
the march. A prize of $40 in gold

special by United Press Wire !:

Special By United Press Wire:
NEW YORK, Jan. 27:-The de-
fense in the Thaw trial Is complete.
Bringing the loose ends of the evil
dence together with a rush, Attorney
Littleton, before the luncheon recess,
ordered to be called to the stand
three experts on insanity, Drs. Wag-
ner, Evans and Jelliffe. He at once
began propounding to them a fifteen
thousand word new hypothetical
question to which they are expected
to reply that Thaw was insane when
he killed White.
BY the means of three physicians
and a nurse Littleton, this morning,
showed that Thaw on two occasions
at least, was treated for acute mani
acal insanity, during one spell of
which, for six days, he acted not only
irrational, but extremely violent. DR..
Ganja also corroborated Evelyn s
story that Thaw attempted suicide at
Monte Carlo by drinking laudanum.

NEW DOCK SOON

Although actual work has not been
started on the new dry dock which is
planned by the Perth Amboy dry dock
company, work has been commenced
on the bunkhead which is to sup
port the bank west of it. Piling is
being driven.
The new dock will be larger than
the present ones, and will be situ-
ated south of these docks, in a space
which up to the present time has
been used to harbor small craft, while
waiting for repairs.
The largest of the present docks is
240 feet long and 1t is planned to
make the new one over 500 feet in
length.

places for sewer gas, and the wet
weather caused the pressure to be-
come unusually great Workmen
from the telephone company were i'm
mediately on the scene.
Considerable damage was done to
the street. as the pavement was
cracked in various places for a dis
lance of ten to fifteen feet. The ac-
cident also caused a hole under the
pavement, removing a portion of the
dirt underneath the concrete founda-
tion supporting the wooden blocks.
1t is the opinion of the telephone
employees that the explosion was set
off by the wires running through the
fire-proof tubes. The cover was soon
again placed in position.
