PISTOL SHOTS
AND KNIVES IN
HAlSEY ST. FIGHT
Suey Quarrel Ends in
Pursuit by Police and
an Arrest.

Pistol shots, knife thrusts and fsti-
cuffs created great excitement at a. m.
today in Halsey street near Bank, when
two young men engaged in a light out
side of a chop suey restaurant there. A
small crowd soon gathered about the
combatants, and a cry of alarm went
up as one of them was seen to take a
knife from his pocket and attempt to
use it with deadly effect upon his adj
versary. .
Before he had an opportunity of do
ing so. however, Policemen Deering and
Bowen, of the First Precinct, arrived
upon the scene, and theNyoung man who
had attempted to use the knife fed
toward Market street, pursued by one
OF the policemen, who fired two shots in
the air to stop the man, He didn't stop.
The other combatant was taken to TIE
First Precinct station and arraigned
before Acting Judge Freeland today.
He gave the name of Edward Erickson,
his age as 20 years, and said that he
hved In Montclair. A fine of $40 was
imposed upon him.
The quarrel began in the chop suey
placea where considerable Samage was
done to the restaurant before the two
~pugnacious youths were finally elected.
They rolled down the stairs from the
second floor to the street, and continued
their fight on the sidewalk.

WOOD PAVING
CONTRACT AT CITY
AUDITORS OFFICE
Chief Clerk Won't Accept 1t or
Bond for South Fourteenth
Street Job.

The South Fourteenth street paving
contract. calling for the use of wood
block, over which the mayor and the
Board of Works. have already split,
Will receive another blow today when
the chief clerk of the city auditor re-
fused to receive the contract and bond
for filing. City Auditor Forman was
away at the time the papers were pre-
scented.
The contract for the work was
awarded by the board last Thursday.
The resolution calling for the work to
be done had been passed by the board
and vetoed by the mayor, so that the
action of the board in awarding was
taken over his head. He allowed the
second resolution, authorizing the sign
ing of the contract, to go back to the
board without his approval.
There has been trouble all through
the transaction. AS awarded, the con-
tract called for the American wood
block, but since then the board has al
lowed the Newark Paving Company, to
which 1t was awarded, to substitute
instead the United States block, manu-
featured by a local concern.

George Nichtern, IS Years Old,
Chronic Truant from

A sad scene was today enacted before
Charles A. Mccall, director of COM

Court. when George Nichtern, an m-
usually bright lad of 10 years, was
committed to the City Home because
of his refusal to attend school. His

at So Tichenor street. wept bitterly as
the lad was taken from him, and the

THESE ARE THE
TIMES THAT TRY
SOULS OF MEN
The Moving Session Is On, and
Hubby Is Eating in
the Yard.

This Is the open season for the man
with the truck, for all those persons
who have the spring fever and all those
others who haven't been paying their
rents are moving. 1t always happens
around the end of April and the be-
ginning of May and the prices for cart
Ing family goods and chattels out of.
one house into another have gone Up.
This always occurs. in the spring, but
still people choose to move about at
this time. Some day everybody will
start pulling out a month ahead of
time and then they will beat the NOV
ing men at their own game.
Eyerybody's Moving.
According to a number of profess
sionaI and expert haulers of furniture,
about as many people are going into
new homes this year as did last.
Most of then. are those persons to
whom life would simply be uncomfortable
If they did not go to some new street
at least once a year. The advantages
of this are getting away from a tyrant
janitor and siding up to one Who looks
less like a professional pugilist, new
.neighbors and all the gossip they have.
The more desirable location is quite a
secondary matter in many cases.
what 1t Costs to Move.
IL you have a piano in your home
you had better live on the first floor.
1t will then cost you only SO for the
trifiipg matter of having it taken from
one house to another. If at present
you live one or two flights up, rear or
front, and move to the ground floor in
another house 1t will cost you $3.50 for
moving the ''pianner," but ii the mover
has to take a hoist at both houses the
bill will be $40.
At any other time of the year it costs
the average family that occupies six
rooms $40 to move. About this time of
the year, however, 1t means 81 more
than that. The usual rate for an
eight-room family's moving is SIG, but
from the week before May / till the
week after hat date the assessment
will be $40, land the family that cavorts
AROUND in a 10-room fiat must al this
season pay 1886, instead of $25.
There are large numbers Of persons
coming from New York this year, far
more than those from outlying towns
Many Newark families are going to
California; more, in fact, than last
year.
