EXPECT LIVELY SESSION
AT HEARING ON BRIDGE.
Want Towns to Share Expense
of Centre Street Structure.

Interesting developments are looked
for at the meeting of the river and nav
igation interests committee in regard to
the erection plans for the new Centre
street bridge in the Board of Trade
roons Monday at II 80 a. m. 1t will be
open to the public and representative
men from both Hudson and Essex
ties are expected to attend.
1t is thought that the suggestion of
Hudson county that Newark and other
towns which will be particularly bene-
flied by the building of the bridge each
contribute a pro rata amount towards
the cost of concentration will be con-
sidered. In return the Pennsylvania
railroad will construct a foot path on
the bridge. George w. Tomkins chair
man of the COMMITTEES, will preside at
the meeting.

KILLED THE HORSE.
Prank of Boys Results Seriously for
Thomas Horslield.

Frightened by the terrific explosion
of box of fireworks, at s o'clock this
morning, the delivery team of Thomas
HOrsf1eId, grocer at 2O9 Kansas ave-
nue., ran away and crashed blindly
into an iron railway pole in the cen
ter of the avenue. One horse had a
leg broken and was so badly injured
that it had to be killed.
The explosion was caused by a
lighted match thrown into the box
by a crowd of boys gathered around
the place, but which one threw it or
whether it was done accidentally is not
known.
Mr.. Horsf1eld says the boys had
stood about shooting crackers and
firing blank cartridges in revolvers for
nearly an hour. Several times, he
says, he went out and asked them 10
stop their awful racket. Finally he
heard the loud and continued explo-
sion of the fireworks and running out
saw his team dash away.
Then it crashed into the pole and
the police were called to investigate
the explosion and shoot the horse. The
FIRE department was lso called fearing
danger of the building catching fire
and made the rund though it took but
minute to extinguish the small
blaze.

PLEADED FOR HER BOY.
Was Given Away While Mother Was
Temporarily Deranged.

New York, July 5-Mrs Matilda Wool
sey came east from Denver few days
ago to claim the little 4-year-old son
given away by her husband while she
was in the Middletown asylum temper
arily deranged when the baby was born.
She had been told by Supreme Court
Justice -Morschauser that the claim of
the foster parents was now greater than
hers-her own flesh and blood not hers,
but another woman'S.
Mrs. Woolsey, who is a pretty, faxen
haired woman of 80. went down on her
knees before Justice Morschauser and
pleaded with him to give her back her
boy.
While the bereaved woman pleaded
tears filled the judges eyes and it was
with difficulty that he could control his
voice to render the decision that blast
ed her hopes. With little Clinton were
his foster parents who at the first
attempt to take him from them fought
for the child as though he were their
own.
On the witness stand Mrs. Woolsey
said that When she was released as
cured from the asylum she was told
that her little boy had died.

fire cracker. The small boy was
banished to vacant lots, where his
fireworks could do little damage.
