FOURTH STREET SEWER
One of the Notable Improve
meDts Made BY the Re-
firing Council.

The new Fourth street Sewer in
the First Ward has been finished and
will stand as a lasting monument to
the energy and efficiency of Council
man E. H. Higgins, the popular
young councilman of that ward, who
secured this great public improve
ment during his first term. 1t is
about feet deep by 5 feet wide and
$50 feet long, putting underground
an unsightly open sewer that was
subject to frequent overflows. On
top of the sewer is a six-foot concrete
pavement. The improvement cost a
little less than $1,700, of which the
property owners paid 5000 by agree
ment. Mr.. Higgins has cause to
feel proud of the work he has done
for his ward. AS an evidence that
it was fully appreciated by his con-
stituents, he was reelected without

by the Meacham Contracting Co.

Busy Times Are Seen in
and About the Sheriff's
Office.
MONEY is ROLLING IN.
Balk of the Collections of
$4,000 Have Been
Made.

The Office of the county sheriff,
John M. Renshaw, has been the
busiest place in town for week or
more and will be until tonight, this
being the last day upon which coun-
ty taxes can be paid without the ad-
dition of six per cent.
The total revenues Of the county
this year are estimated at about
100000, of which $40, 900 is the spe-
cial school tax of 10 per cent. and
about $50 600 will go to the state.
This collection is made by writing
more than 5000 receipts. Up to
yesterday morning about 100000
had been collected, $1,000 of the
amount coming in Friday and Sat-
urday.
Last year the sheriff paid to the
state auditor $4,000. The school
tax is causing a great deal of COM
plant and protest. In many neigh
borhoods the schools have been con-
solidated and the property owners
are required to pay the school tax
without receiving any corresponding
benefits from the new school law.
In addition there is a poll tax for
school purposes of 81.
The largest individual tax payer
in the county is Mr.. R. F. Rives, who
is closely followed by Mr.. Thos. H.
Elliott, Mrs. M. A. Mason, Mr.. E.
D. Jones and other prosperous farm
ers. There are larger tax lists in
the city but they are those of corpo-
rations and not individuals.

DERAILED CARS CAUSE
BLOCK ON LACKAWANNA.
Especial to the Newark star.]

HOBOKEN, Nov. 27.-All traffic on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Vest
ern railroaS, both east and west-bound.
was tied up for more than an hour
today, when three freight cars jumped
the track at the west end Of the Ber-
gen Hill tunnel. The entire interlock-
ing system of the road between New
ark and Hoboken was put out of COM
mission and all four tracks were
blocked
Railroad officials say the actual tie-up
lasted but fifty minutes-that is from
the time, the. derailing happened until
the tracks were again clear. But it was
fully two hours before the commuters
trains were restored to the usual sched-
ule, and as result many Jerseyites
who work in New York and plan to get
home early Saturday afternoons were
from one to three hours late.
The wreck happened just as all east
bound freight train was pulling into the
tunnel portal. One car, in the middle
of the train. jumped the switch and
swung crosswise of the track. pulling
two other cars with it, .effectually
breaking up the interlocking system
and stopping up the mouth of the tun-
mel like cork in a bottle.
Notices to passengers were posted in
the Hoboken and Newark depots and
passengers in hurry were advised to
take other routes. 81

PRINCETON SECONDS" AND
STEVENS WIND UP SEASON.
Large Crowd Turns Ont to Wit.
ness Final Game.

Perfect football weather greeted the
members of the Stevens Institute
eleven and the Princeton second team
when they appeared on the field at
Ashland Oval this afternoon. Both
teams went through light preliminary
practice, including signal drills and
punting. A slight breeze swept across
the field. not strong enough, however,
to make the choice of either of the
goals preferable.
The grand-stand was filed when the
whistle blew, and. although the game
was arranged under the auspices of
the Princeton Alumni of the Oranges,
there was large delegation of rooters
from the Hoboixen town who helped to
enliven the affair by their cheering.
1t will be remembered that the Stew
ems eleven scored two touchdowns on
the varsity football team of Prince
ton in a game played earlier in the
season and the Orange and Black un-
derstudies were anxious to prove that
the IL points scored by the civil En-
gineers' were flulky. The Stevens ag-
gregation, on the other hand, was
eager to win the game, as it was the
last on the schedule.

WASHINGTON, Nov. d 2F.-Reports
coming from, Nicaragua byeway of New
Orleans 70 the effect that Henry Caldera,
vice consul of the United States at Ma
nagua, the capital of Nicaragua, has
been imprisoned or suffered violence at
the hands of President Zelaya, are
given no credence here.
The State Department, which is in
clcse touch with the situation through
the commander of the United States
gunboat Vicksburg at Corinto, who
would have been on the scene of action
within twenty-four hours after such
news reached him. has had no reports
of the imprisonment of yice-Consul
Caldera
Senior Salvador Castrillo, representa-
tive of President Estrada, of the pro-
yisional government, discredits the re-
port, and declares he believes there Is
no truth In 1t.
Mine United States warships are to be
assembled on the eastern and western
coasts of Nicaragua, prepared to land
marines and sailors to compel repara-
tion and apology for the shooting OF
two Americans. Three war ships all
ready are in Nicaraguan ports pre-
pared to clear for action.
The United States government is only
waiting for President Zelaya's expiana-
tion, which is expected today, to begin
aggressive action.
Zelaya admits that when Cannon and
Groce were captured they were serving
as officers with the revolutionists.
He says -'they were tried by court
martial and sentence was pronounced
according to military CODE"
As q matter of fact, Cannon and
Groce were serving as volunteers. with
the rank of colonels, in the revolution
ary army. and according to the inter-
national code of warfare should have
been treated merely as prisoners OF
war. ~
According to q statement made by
general officers held prisoners by Gem
eral Chalporro, Zelaya instructed Cen
eral Toledo to kill every foreigner in
the revolutionary ranks whom he cap
tured. This information comes from
General Chamorro. who was inter-
viewed today.
The governments plan is to send to
the west coast the Buffalo, with four
hundred marines and her own crew;
the Princeton, as soon as she arrives
from Puget Sound at San Francisco.
and the Albany and Yorktown. which
are to proceed with the Princeton from
Magdalena Bay.
Secretary Meyer is at Philadelphia,
personally inspecting marines who are
to be sent to Panama to replace those
to 60 from there on the Buffalo to
Corinto.
For the west coast the United States
forces will consist for the present of
five vessels, including the Vicksburg
now at Corinto, four hundred marines
and a hundred men from each of the
vessels.
On the east coast the vessels threat
ening the Nicaraguans are the Tacoma,
the Des Moines and the Marietta.
