Because his son-in-law, Michael j.
Francis, aged 80 years, was not in the
house by Z O'Clock Tuesday night, as
instructed, coming at $50 instead,
John Horan, OF PittSburg, Pa, gave
Michael beating, it is alleged, and
sent him to bed without his supper.
Mrs, Francis, who had been calling
on a neighbor, arrived at nine O'Clock,
and hearing what had happened to her
husband started a row, in which the
husband joined, with the result that
yesterday morning both Francis and
Horan were prisoners in the police
station-each with beautifully marked
faces. for under direction OF his young
wife Francis had put up nice fight
the second time.
The police magistrate discharged
both. telling Horan to give his big
son-in-law more latitude in the future.
Horan protested against interference
in his family affairs by the police
magistrate and got a rather cold re-

Receipts of the custom house for
the past month and for the first quar-
ter of the new fiscal year are larger
than ever before in the history of the
port. Not alone do the total collec-
tions for September outrival those of
any other month by far, but the past
quarter, which is the beginning of a
new fiscal year, mas shown larger re-
ceipts than has any other quarter.
This Is unusually promising and Col
lector Robert Carson Is proud of the
figures.
The aggregate collections for the
past three months were S125, 1875.
The collections for September were
s49,778.20; for August they were
$31, 1,75s.74, and for July, s43,660.82.
Besides taking care of the volume
OF work necessitated in collecting
and accounting for these large
amounts. Deputy Collector George w.
Eggert and his able staff have accom-
plished more. They have enforced
the motor boat law, which is the
means of saving lives on the water,
and they have taken care OF steam
vessels that take passengers, to see
that they were not overcrowded be-
yond the safety limit. Besides this,
they watch steamers entering and
clearing from port. They must also
guard against entrance to the coun-
try Of aliens and the smuggling OF
wares.

Request of Residents.
MAIL BOXES NOT YET UP

Upon request of residents in the

the city into which mail delivery is
to be extended Postmaster George II.
Tice has deferred the time of his re-
inspection from today to Monday of
next week. This is to give the resi-
dents an opportunity to put up their
mail boxes This will probably mean
that Mr. Tice's new ten-route deliv-
cry system will go into effect Satur-
day, October Is, but there is doubt
as to whether the government will
find time to act favorably upon his
report of Monday so that the exten-
sion may be made at the same time.
A representative of the residents
in the northwestern section has call
ed on the postmaster and asked for
an extension of time to put up mail
receptacles. 1t appears that they will
be put up next Saturday afternoon
and Sunday, SO that when Mr Tice
makes a reinspection on Monday he
will find all of them in place and will
be In a position to report fayorably.

AN HOUR TO GET
SUFFERING MAN
INTO HOSPITAL
BIG VERDICT
GIVEN BACHA
P. R. R. Must Pay Local
Man S4,50O--U. s. Circuit
Court Decision.
RUN DOWN BY TRAIN

A verdict of $4,000 against the
Pennsylvania railroad was yesterday
granted Joseph Bacha, of Fayette
street, to compensate him for injur-
les sustained when struck by train
In this city over three years ago.
This is the first verdict, within the
memory of the oldest court attache,
rendered in the United States Circuit
Court, at Trenton, against the rail-
road.
Joseph E. Stricken, of this city,
represented Bacha. Four days were
required to bring the testimony to a
close, and although the railroad pro-
duced eighteen witnesses and the
complainant but one, the large ver-
dict was handed down yesterday.
Judge John Rallstab, recently ap-
pointed to the United States Circuit
court bench, heard the case. Bacha
sued to recover $4,000 for injuries
sustained in the accident He was
confined in the city hospital here for
three months following the accident,
and ever since one of his limbs has
been three inches shorter than the
other.
The case was finished Tuesday, but
decision was reserved Yesterday
afternoon the amount of the verdict
was made known. 1t will in all prob
ability be appealed by the railroad on
the grounds of being excessive.
The accident which brought about
the suit occurred at the New Bruins
wick avenue crossing OF the New
York & Long Branch railroad on the
night of February IL, 1907. Bacha
was returning, in a carriage, from a
dance to which he had escorted his
daughter-in-law. Driving towards
the crossing his view Of the tracks
was obscured by several freight cars
and he was struck by southbound
Camden express.
So fast was the train travelling
that the engineer was unconscious oi
the accident until he reached Old
Bridge and examined his engine
Meanwhile Daniel Bachman, who
served as witness for the complain
ant at the trial, picked Bacha from
the tracks just in time to escape a
northbound train.

ISSUED TODAY
BY PLUMBERS
Declare They Are Ready to
Meet With the Bosses
and Arbitrste.
FIGHTING BATTLE ALONE
Have Absolutely Refused to
Ask Other Unions to Strike
in Sympathy.
NO MEETINGS TODAY
Declars that List of Rules
Published Are Not the
Correct Ones.
FIGHTING BATTLE ALONE
70 MEETINGS TODAY

Although the plumbers strike is
still on today and no settlement is in
sight, members of the arbitration
committee of the strikers made the
first statement since the union went
out. 1--WE have been and are still
ready to meet the BOSSES" they de-
clared, "and have been willing to
arbitrate matters for the past six
months. We gave the bosses plenty
of notice and at that time they were
willing to give us $4.40 a day and a
half holiday on Saturdays, but would
not stand for our list of working
rules.
Those rules you published a few
days ago." added the committee to a
NEWS representative, "are not the
rules we are fighting for. They are
the old set of rules. The rules we
want in effect are a complete revi-
sion of the old rules and differ con-
siderably from the list published"
When asked II the report was true
that the union was going to try and
get some of the other unions to
strike In sympathy with them the
committee said: 1--WE absolutely re-
fuse to ask anyone to strike in sym
pathy with US. We are fighting our
own battle and we don't know how
long the fight will last.
I'VE want mechanics work done
by mechanics, instead of laborerg and
helpers. That is the bone of conten-
tion. Some of the statements made
by the bosses we declare are untrue,
especially that part about one man
paying his men s35 and $40 a week.
There never was a plumber in this
city who received that much money
In one week"
The committee added that another
statement would be made tomorrow
and that the reason the men had
been instructed not to talk was to
prevent anything personal being pub
lished.
The union yesterday called out
an apprentice working for ]. w. Dor
sey. Contractor Dorsey engages no
men and owing to this fact the union
consented to let his helper work.
FOLLOWING discussion at a meeting
1t was decided unfair to other bosses
TO let the man work.
