MORE FACTS
ABOUT BODY
Man Found in Coal Bin Was
Gustav Johnson of Gotte-
berg, Sweden.
WHEN LAST SEEN ALIVE

From papers found among his
enects the body of the man discover
ed yesterday morning lying at the
bottom of coal bin in the storage
grounds of the Lehfgh Valley rail-
road, is believed to be that of Gus
tave johnson, thirty-seven years old,
of Sweden, a sailor on the schooner
Douglas, which cleared from the
local docks last Friday. 1t is be-
l1eved that the man fell in the bin
the night before the schooner sailed
as he was making his way to get on
board of the vessel
The dog which was in the bin
with the dead man was gotten out
alive yesterday. 1t belonged to
Thomas Connolly. of 527 Hartford
street, who has missed the dog for
several days. 1t Is thought that
when the man fell to his death that
the dog, being so close to him, was
dragged down In the bin with him.
Why they were not discovered be-
fore yesterday Is still a mystery.
The dead mans effects were found
at the coal wharves, where the cap
tain of the schooner Douglas had
placed them when johnson did not
show up In time for the boat to sail
Coroner Ferd Garretson, who has
the body at his morgue, will COM
municate with the dead mans rela-
tives at Gotteberg, Sweden. If, In
the meantime, no one appears to
claim the body it will be buried in
the Potter field.
Ralph Bulls, proprietor of q sa-
loon on the north end of Hartford
street, adjoining the Lehigh Valley
storage grounds, who was the last
man believed to have seen johnson
alive, thinks he died a week ago.
Bulls says the man was dis
charged from the schooner Eva B.
Douglas March and 1t appears he
started to drink heavily. At 10:3O
o'clock Thursday, March 3, Johnson
walked Into Bullis's place in a badly
intoxicated state. He was accompa-
MED by dog, the same one later
found with Johnsonss body. Bulls
says Johnson used vile language In
talking to the canine and says he
cautioned him to stop. Johnson
then asked for a drink which Mr..
Bulls refused to tender, telling the
man he was drunk and that he
should find sleeping quarters.

County and City Men Made
Tour Yesterday After
noon Here.
WILL WIDEN BRIDGE
IN BRACE AVENUE
kennedaIe Section is Viewed
Sidewalks Improved by
Loads of Ashes.

Freeholder Alfred T. Kerr, of
South Amboy; County Road Super
visor DeHart; Alderman Dalton, City
Engineer Mason and Street Commis-
sioner Adair, of this city, went on a
tour of inspection yesterday after
noon. They visited the old Brace
avenue bridge first, after which the
local officials traversed a portion of
the Kennedale Park section and the
district west of Alpine cemetery.
The tour was made with view Of
determining what means should be
taken to widen the Brace avenue
bridge 80 as to make the width in
conformity with Brace avenue, which
is now being graded. The structure,
one of the oldest of it's kind in the
county, Is thirty feet wide. 1t will
be extended fifteen feet ON each side
SO as to make it sixty feet, which is
the width of the street.
1t had been the intention of visit
ing the county bridge with view of
ascertaining the needed repairs on
this end of the structure where it
meets the approach, but Mr. Kerr
was suffering with cold and the
inspection was deferred rR4A some
future date.
Alderman Dalton, StreA Cpa mis-
sioner Adair and City 4A8neer
Mason afterward visited that sec
tion of the city lying west of Alpine
cemetery. Some of the streets are in
need of repair, but the majority of
the territory is we'll provided for. 1t
Is well lighted. MIR. Adair said to-
day that, in comparison, 1t is better
lighted than any other section of the
city. The hundreds of loads of
ashes conveyed there by the street
department has caused sidewalks to
be built over most of the territory,
thus making it possible for children
to walk over dry sidewalks to school.
Donald avenue in one place was
partially covered with water drained
from the property of Henry Maurer.
1t Is probable that Alderman Dalton
will communicate with owners of the
property In order to have bitches cut
through 1t. Indications are that all
the streets running noEthward. from
Brace avenue will in short time be,
extended to Waters's road.
