yon water works with 5000 tons OF
rice coal, delivered at the plant in
equal portions each month, begin
ming July /. G. M. Peterson, of
Smith street, whose bid was the low
est received, was awarded the con-
/ tract. He agreed to furnish the fuel
at $2.13 per gross ton. H. d. Littell,
of South Amboy, offered to supply

gross ton. For several years Mr..

of the Jersey Central Realty Com
pany and the Morgan Heights Land
Company, that Morgan be furnished
water from the Runyon wells, was

tives of these companies to consider

from the sixteen-inch main near
South Amboy to Morgan.
At present the companies ask that
the board lay the pipe, but this, the

piled for five-year renewal of con-
tract for water. On motion, the

pleted and shipped here. The let.
ter was referred to the committee oil

SOUTH AMBOY LAD is
RUN OVER BY AN AUTO
Carter BIOodgOOd
Is Injured on
County Bridge.
MAY Be FATAL

Carter Bloodgood, the fourteen
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Bloodgood, Jr., of South Amboy,
lies in a precarious condition at the
city hospital here, the result of be-
ing run over by heavy Pierce
Arrow automobile yesterday The
lad had been whipped off of the rear
end of grocery wagon near the
draw of the Raritan river bridge and
stepped In front of the automobile,
which was owned by 8. Millkman, of
New York, and driven by William
Schefferine, of the same city,
1t appears that young Bloodgood
started for Perth Amboy on wheel.
1t may have broken down in some
way, for he climbed aboard a groc-
cry wagon on the county bridge so
as to complete his journey to this
city. At point near the draw OF
the bridge the driver of the grocery
rig saw the lad and lashed his whip
over him. The boy hastily retreated
and Mr. Millkman's heavy machine
struck him. One of the front wheels
passed over his abdomen, just below
the ribs.
The man In the grocery rig drove
on unconcerned, while Mr.. Millkmar
stopped to pick UP the lad He was
rushed to the city hospital and at
tended by DIR. w. E. Ramsay. Mr.
Millkman gave orders to have every
thing possible done for the lad.
From what can be learned from
boy spectators. the accident could IL
no way be attributed to any careless
ness on the part of Mr.. Millkman OIL
his driver The blame seems, rather
due to the driver of the grocery
wagon and the police are looking fol
him.
Mr. Millkman owns a millinery
establishment in New York. He il
said to have been going at moder
ate rate of speed at the time of the
accident, so that he stopped within {
space of three feet He was on hi:
way to southern resort for the i'm
provement of his health. He ha.
been in an extremely nervous state
from business worries of late. The
shock caused by the accident yester
day made his condition worse.
Yonng Bloodgood is suffering from
internal injuries, has both legs bad

skinned from the wrist to the elbow

GAS VICTIM
EXPIRES AT
CITY HOSPITAL

David Peche, captain of the barge
Lewis H. Ross, who was overcome by
gas in room at the Hotel Central last
Thursday morning, died in the city
hospital yesterday afternoon at five
o clock without regaining conscious
ness. His body will be taken this af-
ternoon to Champlain, N. Y, his former
home, for interment.
During his six days at the hospital
Peche never regained consciousness.
DR.. F. G. Henry, who was called when
he was first found, has since been in
constant attendance, but his efforts to
revive the unconscious man proved
futile.
A widow, a son, George Peche, and
two daughters, Mrs. Albert Rober and
Mrs. Mary Changny, all Of Champlain,
survive the dead man. At present ali
four reside on the barges lewis Fl. Ross
and Langleys, both Of which are now
in local waters. They will accompany
the body on the 4:35 clock train this
afternoon to New York, enroute to
Champlain.
Peche was sixty-eight years old. Dur.
ing his entire lifetime, according to his
son, he had never operated a gas jet
and his introduction to one last Wed
nesday night proved costly. Accus-
toned to blowing out the flame of a
lamp, Peche did the same to the gas Jet
in the Hotel Central, with the result
that he was overcome.
The barge captain is the second to be
asphyxiated by gas in the Hotel Cen
tral within the last six months. On
January last Patrick Hunt, of New
ark, was found dead in bed and his son
in almost the same condition.

place. being kicked about by Philadel-

as pennant possibility. Less than
hundred points separate the first -four
teams The unexpected showing of
Washington ard st. Louis back-slid-
ing are the surprises of the year
In the Eastern league Newark leads
