OVER A BRIDGE
IN MONMOUTH COUNTY

Freehold, Oct. 4:-Hearing is be-
ing had at Trenton today before
Chancellor Mahlon Pitney on a rule
to show cause, secured by David
Vanderveer Perrine, why the Mon
mouth County Board of Freeholders.
the Board of Commissioners of Free
hold and the contractors, Price &
Hafeman, should not be restrained
from removing a small wooden
bridge from in front of his store
properties on Main street and from
changing the grade of the curb.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Perrine
conducts n of the largest mercan-
tile businesses in Freehold, he has
fought from the beginning the per-
manent improvement being made to
Main and South streets under the SUI
pervision and at the expense of the
state, county and town.
In his petition MIR. Perrine makes
affidavit that his combined store
properties are worth about $4,000,
and the gross receipts from his mer-
camille business total 100000 per
year. One of his large ~three-story
brick buildings is leased to other
mercantile men, and he AYERS in his
petition that both they and himself
use the driveway and small wooden
bridge over the gutter to cart heavy
loads into the rear of their stores,
and that If the curb grade is changed
and the small wooden bridge re-
moved it will make the rea of his
| stores inaccessible with heavy loads
and work great damage to him.
The restraining order today will
be opposed by Halstead H. Vain
wright, counsel of the oBard of
Freeholders, who will present affida-
Wits of county and town officials, and
photographs of ~drivewayh along the
street now improved, to show that
Mr.. Perrine's driveway will not be
| damaged in the least, as the curb
| grade will not be changed. He will
| also claim that by removing the
wooden bridge, as has been done in
many instances on the same street,
the street will be. made about four
feet wider for the use of the trav-
cling public.

BIG AREA DEVASTATED

New York, Oct. 4-0ne man, 1t Is
persons were injured, $1,500,000 dam
age was done, trolley traffic was de-
moralized, the ferry service of foul
trunk lines was interfered with and
three acres of lumber yards, wood
yards, factories, hotels, saloons and
stables were devastated by a fire
which originated at Tw~enty-fourth
in all directions.
Fed by 10000 600 feet of hardwood
lumber, including mahogany and wal
nut, hat it had taken nine years to
accumulate, the fire mounted hundreds
of feet In the air, showered millions
of brands and sparks on surrounding
property and painted on the heavens a

men.
For longer than three hours the con

ladder trucks, two water towers, four
fire boats, high pressure service

Croker said after the fight had been
fought and won by his men that it

Thousands were attracted to the
place.
Two men and a were injured
at Twenty-third street and Eleventh
avenue by the high pressure service.
A line of hose became kinked when II
was being lifted to permit the cross
town cars to pass beneath 1t.
The result was that the water from
the hydrant, forced out by 800 pounds
of pressure, ripped the hose couplings
apart and sent the hose thrashing
among the many spectators assembled
on that corner.
With the hose went the broken
casting, and following them went a
stream of water that struck men, wo-
men and children, drenched them and
hurled them with terrific violence
against the walls of o neighborine
building.

Over-Taxation of Mines.

The Colorado Chapter of the Ameri. can Mining Congress has taken the initial steps to bring about a reforma- tion in the system, or systems, of taxa tion in force tn the Centennial state, under which, it is asserted, the mining industry is bearing an undue share of the financial burdens of the counties. At the monthly meeting of the cham Der, held last week, a preliminary re- port of Secretary A. W.. Warwick called forth a discussion that is not likely to end until something is done to remedy what the members char acterize as a gross injustice to the mineral industry. Mir. Warwick $ data, while far from complete as yet, are of the kind that enlighten, since they are comprehensive and searching, and by the time they are completed, which, he says, will require two months work, it is expected that the revelations made will cause most of the mining men of Colorado to wonder why they have been so passive with respect to this matter during the last ten years.
 It is the plan of the Colorado Chap ter to compile complete data and to issue the same h the form of "A Manual of Mine Taxation," after which it is anticipated that the con- certed objections of the mining in- terests will result in a fairer attitude of mind upon the part of county off cials and a recodifcation of the state's revenue laws, to the end that the terms of the present statutes shall be more precise.
 It is thus far shown that each county assessor of the state is very much of a

Mining Work on the Hill.

Progress of the T. c. M. Co. mines continues uninterruptedly below the water level. During the past week a new strike of importance was made 200 feet below water, on the 800 level, at the West Side. The find is a con- tinuation of the original West Side ledge and is a demonstration that with depth the ore can reasonably be ex- pected to be in place where the geo. logical conditions and formations indi- cate same above water level. A sim liar condition was demonstrated at the Tribute workings where a good ore body was encountered below wa ter level that is now being extracted for shipment.
 On the 1000 level the west drift is forward 26O feet and crosscutting along the contact is being prosecuted with vigor, while the indications at this point is also very favorable. The pumping record is kept normal and held at 6,SOO, 900 gallons daily. At the annual meeting of the company's stock holders on the Sth inst, the same of- ficers and directors were elected Tombstone Prospector.
