GOOD REPORTS
FROM UNIONS

Reports from the various build
ing trades unions received at meet
ing of the Building Trades Council
last night, showed that building op-
erations hereabouts are improving
and tended to show that prospects
for the future are brighter than
they have seemed for some time past.
Probably the most favorable part
of the various reports were, that la
Dor strifes for the year have ended
and almost all the building trades
bodies have signed up with their en-
ployers. Agreements have been
reached in every case. excepting with
the Electrical Workers and Painters
Union, so far as is known. AL
though permanent agreements have
not yet been reached between jour
neymen painters and the employers,
the bosses seem in fair way to ac-
cede to the requests Of the employees,
which are half holiday on Satur-
days at the same pay Of SIS they
now receive.
The journeymen electricians are
making rapid strides towards reach
ing an agreement with the boss cleo
trical workers. An increase of fifty

BIG DRY GOODS
STORE OPEN IN
BOYNTON BLDG.
J. N. Foster, of Marquette,
Mich, Signed Lease For
Place Today.
START IN ONE SIDE AS
SOON AS COMPLETED

What will perhaps be one of the
largest dry goods stores in New Jer-
sey is soon to be opened in this city.
A lease was signed this morning by
j. N. Foster, of Marquette, Mich,
for half of the new Boynton building
in Smith street, and, as soon as the
store is completed, the stock will be
installed. The contractor, Ira r.
Grouse, has been Instructed to rush
the work and Mr.. Foster has already
arranged with him for installing the
fixtures and interior decorations for
a thoroughly up-to-date store.
Mr.. Foster comes to this city with
a reputation of being thorough
business man of wide experience. He
has conducted large dry goods stores
in Marquette, Mich, and in ST.
Louis, where he built up an enor-
NOUS trade.
Mr.. Foster is well pleased with
Perth Amboy. He sees not only a
growing city in itself, but a large
surrounding territory, connected by
trolley and otherwise, from which
business can be drawn. He prom
ises to have store that will rank
with any of the large cities.
He has rented both stores on the
east side of the main entrance of the
Bownton building. This will give
frontage of fifty feet for display
along Smith street. The store is 15O
feet deep. There are two freight ell
elevators. At present the part is di-
vided into two stores by narrow
partition. Mr. Foster will open in
the part adjoining the main entrance
to the building, as this will be com
pleted first. Mr.. Foster states that
his stock is already bought and will
be moved in as soon as the build
ing is ready for it. He says he will
have every modern convenience for
handling merchandise and attracting
the ladies. He will carry full line
of dry goods and everything pertain
ing to women's wear.

ASSAULT ON
FOREMAN OF
TROLLEY co.
]. N. Grove, Of Jersey Gen.
traI Beaten by Gang on
TrestIe Today.
VICTIM OF OLD ENEMY
--NOTIEIES POLICE

Because ]. M. Grove, superjnten-
dent of construction on the Jersey
Central Traction Company's trolley
trestle, across the Raritan river, dis
charged laborer several months
ago, and because that same laborer,
it is asserted, bears grudge against
his former employer, Grove has APP
piled to Chief of Police Burke for
permit to carry a revolver. Since
g O'clock last night, Grove declares,
he has been the victim Of two as
saults by his enemy and while
drawing his revolver this morning in
an attempt to ward off the second
attack. was set upon by a gang of
the laborer's friends and was badly
beaten. He viii have his assailants
arrested, and is expected to appear
before Recorder Pickersgill tonight
to swear out warrants.
Yesterday afternoon Grove was
watching gang of laborers at work
on the southern end of the trestle.
About 5 O'Clock, his duties over for
the day, he started across the county
bridge for his temporary home in
this city, 2S2 Goodwin street, and
when he had about reached the draw,
\ piece of dirty, greasy waste, used
In cleansing machinery, struck him
in the face.
Looking around, he discovered the
grinning face of the laborer whom
he had few months ago discharged,
now a member of gang employed
in painting the spans on the bridge.
By his actions, the traction super
intendent became certain that the
painter had thrown the waste. He
held his peace, however, but when
he arrived in this city, he proceeded
to police headquarters and applied
to Chief Burke for permit to carry
a revolver. The chief was unable
to grant the permit because he could
not see the mayor to have 1t sane
toned, and he told the applicant to
return today.
For safetys sake, however, Grove
placed revolver in his hip pocket
before he left for work this morn
ing. Accompanied by H. o. Todd, of
Atlantic Highlands. gang foreman
also employed by the Jersey Central
Traction Company, Grove walked
asross the county bridge to reach his
work. When he arrived at almost
tH0 same opVhs 0ASIc the " dSte w dk
thrown last night, he was again met
by the discharged employe. After
an exchange of words, the latter
swung on Grove, cutting his mouth.
In self-defense, Grove drew his gun,
but before he could use it, half
dozen of his assailant's fellow-em-
ployes took part in the fray and beat
him badly.
Grove and Todd returned to this
city and reported the matter to Chief
Burke. They turned over the re-
volver with it's chambers still full to
the latter, and announced their In
tentions of having warrants sworn
out. The assailants will probably
be brought before Recorder Pickers-
gill either tomorrow night or Mon
day morning.

TROUBLE AT

GOTTA PLANT.
Box Car Full of Material is
Consumed by Fire Yester-
day Afternoon.
FORMER employees TRY
TO START A STRIKE

A fire at the Perth Amboy plant
of the Atlantic Terra Gotta Company
in Buckingham avenue, yesterday
afternoon shortly after o'clock,
partially damaged a box car in which
terra Gotta was being loaded and
ruined or damaged most of the cars
contents. For a time it was thought
that adjoining buildings would be
ignited, but several streams from the
company's fire-fighting apparatus
finally extinguished the blaze
Sparks from locomotive are
thought to have set fire to straw in
the car used for packing terra Gotta.
Flames were noticed coming from
the car door and a call for the ap-
paratus was sounded on the factory
whistle. The prompt response of
the employees was probably all that
saved string of similarly packed
ears. For fully fifteen or twenty
minutes water was played on the
flames and they were finally brought
under control
Because several discharged en-
ployes wanted revenge ON their en-
ployers a strike and other trouble
was threatened at the same plant
last night. Shortly before o'clock
call was sent for the police, and
Patrolmen Harding and Dunham and
Roundsman Morris were detailed to
the plant
The men were discharged We'd
nesday night. Last night they ap-
peared again at the plant and threat
ened their former fellow employees
with dire results should they enter
The strike meters were In the min.
GRITTY, however, and little attention
was paid to their threats.
About $50 O'clock, according tc
officials at the plant, the discharged
men became ugly and the police
were summoned. When the officers
arrived they found no signs of fur
ther disorder and returned.
