FIRE CAPTAIN RESCUES
CAT FROM HIS PERCH

Sunday dinner, consisting of what the
family hadn't had, and she found the
poor thing up there in the cross-arEl
crotch of the pole. She called to him
seductively, until her voice ran out and
then she summoned Chris.
Chris had an idea that the way TO
get the cat down was to rap on the
pole with his walking stick. He'd
learned that trick in his boyhood days
hunting squirrels, but it didn't work
for shucks on the cat. Then it began
to snow and pretty soon there WASH /
anything to be seen of the cat on the
pole but the mantle of beautiful white.
Chris got desperate at this stage and
raised a piece of the family chicken
toward Ebenezer on the end of a
twenty-foot pole. That great thought
also went for nought. aa
Ebenezer Bravcd sIeet and storm.
The cat stayed there. He stayed
there through one of the finest sleet
storms that ever hit Bayonne and he
stood it through a cold snap and well
into another snow-storm yesterday
morning, and all attempts to wheedle
him down or threaten him down failed
signally and with dispatch.
Mrs. Lezine had been weeping all
night over the awful plight of her poor
pussy, and non of the neighbors' wives
were sleeping for grief. Finally, along
came Policeman Tom Tucker past the
phone pole on which the cat was. He
had been past the pole a dozen times
before since the cat was there, but this
time he decided that the case was In
his jurisdiction.
He called up Chief Bonner and Chief
Bonner came over in person with Hook
and Ladder No. 1 Five hundred people
stood about weeping Or with bated
breath, according to their sexes, while
Captain Hartman billiard climbed up
the company ladder and lifted Eben-
ezer from his perch. He was cheered
wildly as he cached the earth and
several ladies would have kissed him.
Ebenezer wasn't so badly off as you'd
have thought. He took to his supper
quite heartily last evening and early
this morning he licked a yellow cat out
on the backyard fence.

CHANGE MADE IN
TOWNS CONTRACT
WITH RAILROAD
Bloomfield and L~ackawanna
Agree to Eliminate Bridge
and Switches.

The contract between the town of
Bloomfield and the Lackawanna rail
road, which was adopted on July II,
1910, and which provides for the cree
ton of three new passenger stations
and the abolishing of six of the most
dangerous grade crossings in the State,
was amended by the Town Council last
night In two important details. BY
resolution a supplementary contract
was adopted which provides for the
elimination of the Willow street bridge
and diverts the course Of the street
from the point where 1t now meets the
railroad in a southerly direction par
allel to the tracks and running to Or
ange street. The total cost of this
change will be nearly $40, 600, of which
the railroad company will pay 1883.
The town at large will contribute ap-
proximately $500, and the remaining
amount will be assessed against the
property directly benefited.
The other change in the original
contract provides for doing away with
the industrial switches which crossed
old Mechanic street and led to the
plants of the American Malleables
Company and the Hedden Iron Con-
struction Company.
A new entrance to the station at the
east-bound track is to be one of the
features of this change. This entrance
Will enable patrons of the road to have
immediate access from the westerly
section of the town to the ticket office
by the way of the new Mechanic street,
a thoroughfare which is to be opened
up in place of the street which has
been vacated.
AS the situation now stands, all of
the citizens are apparently satisfied,
and the people of the town seem well
) satisfied it'll the manner in which the
town authorities have disposed of the
problem.
The Council authorized Town Attor-
ney Kocher to commence proceedings
for the condemnation of property
owned by the James D.. Leary estate
between Franklin and Bay avenues,
which is to be used for park purposes.
Town Attorney Kocher was in
structed to prepare, a tentative fran
chise providing for the lighting of the
streets of the town, to be submitted to
the Council ar1 passed upon at it's
next meeting. The old contract with
the Public Service expired on February
6 last, and no definite action has been
taken.

COUNCIL DECLINES
To ACT HASTILY
ON WATER PLAN
Bloomfield to Go Slow in Matter
of C~Ondemning Riparian
Rights.

The Bloomfield Town Council fought
shy last night of the petition presented
by John H. Cook, representing the
Montclair Water Company, asking for
the adoption of a resolution vesting
in the company the power OF condemn
ing the riparian rights of the city o.
Paterson and other property-owners ii
behalf Of the town Of Bloomfield. It IS
probable that definite action viii he
taken on Tuesday night.
The water company agrees to stand
all expenses incurred in the condemna-
tion proceedings and claims that the
town will not lose by the adoption Of
this resolution and the probabilities
are that it will benefit thereby.
Town Attorney Kocher explained the
situation to the council in all its de-
tails. but the council considered it adj
visable to give the matter further
thought
The Council received a lengthy and
detailed report from Town Attorney
Charles F. Kocner upon the Passaic
Valley sewer question and its effect
upon that municipality. The PROPOSE
ton presented by the amendment to
the original bill, which is now pending
in the Legislature, appears to be more
complicated than was expected. Each
municipality is TO issue bonds based
upon the rated valuation of the prop
erty. The income from the sale Of
these bonds will be turned over to a
sinking fund commission composed of
three men.
This commission will a and
pay for the work of commencing the
construction of the sewer. AS these
bonds mature they will be taken up by
funds to be raised by assessing the
various municipalities which are parties
to the contract, according to the usage
of the sewer by each municipality at
the time of the maturing of the bonds.
No action was taken on the matter.
Mayor Hauser spoke of a scheme pro-
viding for the disposal of sewage BY
what is known as the equalization
method, now being used successfully in
Texas.
F. NJ. Evans, of Hardwood road.
complained of the lack of proper train
service on the Erie railroad and the
inferior coaches used. a letter was
read from j. c. Stewart, vice-president
of the Erie, stating that the service
was adequate, and that the Lacka-
wanna, and not his road, carried the
majority of the commuters in the
town. Town Attorney Kocher was in
structed to file a complaint with the
Public Utilities Commission at a meet
ing in the Court House in this city on
Friday, March "a.
Written objections to the proposed
curbing of Bloomfield avenue, from the
Belleville line TO the Glen Ridge line,
were read. The improvement calls for
a curb on both sides of the thorough
fare, and among those who objected
were Milton Romano, Sarah A. Ward,
Eliza Stumpf, George w. Cadmus, Ezra
e. Whitehorne, Edward Cakes. John
Jaeger and Michael y. Higgins. Some
of the DIRECTORS declared that. in their
opinion, the improvement at this time
was unnecessary, n that the road,
which is under the supervision of tho
county, should be repaired first. There
were also a number of persons who
appeared in person to object to the
improvement. No action was taken.

HARRISON YOUNG WOMAN
SUFFERS FROM OLD WOUND.

Several months ago Miss Teresa
Lawless, daughter of Thomas F. Law
less, president of the Harrison Board
Of Education, sustained a slight fall.
Her right knee was scratched. but as
it caused her no pain she paid no at
tention to it at the time.
The little wound seemed to heal and
when Miss Lawless had nearly forgot
ten all about it the knee began to
trouble her. She visited several ply
slcians and when she found no relief
resulting from their treatment went to
a private hospital In this city. DIR.
| Sidney A. Twinch took charge of the
case.
He removed the cap from the right
knee and underneath found a tumor
had formed. The girls father was told
last week that another operation might
have to be performed and h a it
would probably result in stiffening the
knee.
Miss Lawless is well-known in Har-
rison and her large host of friends are
solicitous regarding her. Her home Is
at 400 Hamilton street.

DECISION is AFFIRMED
BY COURT OF APPEALS.

TRENTON. March 1.-THE verdict
recovered by the Montclair Water
Company against the town of Mont
clair has been affirmed by the Court
of Errors and Appeals. According to
the opinion, the town entered into a
contract with the water company
whereby the company was to furnish
water for certain town purposes for
an amount equal to the amount paid
by the company to the town for It's
franchise taxes for the year. After
the State authorities had made the as
sessment the company presented its
bill for the water furnished, and the
town refused payment. Suit was
brought and judgment was recovered,
and the Court of Appeals has affirmed
the judgment.

CONTEST FOR COLONEL
OF FIFTH REGIMENT.

With the probable selection of Colonel
Edwin Hine, of the Fifth Regiment, as
brigadier-general with the retirement
of General Campbell, an interesting
contest for colonel of the Fifth is ex-
pected between L%ieutenant-C Colonel Van
walraven and Major S~hoenthal, Of
Orange. Captain Barker, of Company
A, will succeed Major Shoenthal in the
First Battalion, it is expected.
When the Fifth was in Sea Girt last
summer the situation was gone over
thoroughly and Major ~Shoenthal re-
ceived a boost at a dinner he gave to
the officers The Van Walraven sup
porters are firm in the belief he will
become colonel and that Shoenthal viii
become lieutenant-colonel.

Bayonne Feline, Fearing Boy,
Takes Refuge Fifty Feet
In Air.
Especial to the Newark star.l

BAYONNE, March Tt was rather
funny about Chris Lezine's eat. Eben-
ezer. climbing to the top of a fifty
foot telephone pole. in front of Chris's
place, and not coming down for nine
teen long and mortal hours. 1t was
rather funnier because Ebenezer was
never known to take to tree for any
dog or cat in the world before, and, of
course, rather the funniest part about
all of 1t was that the Bayonne fire de-
lartment had to be rung up for a hook
and ladder to. bring the p~ugnacious
feline down to earth.
It was 10 o'clock Sunday morning
hen Ebenezer took to the pole. He
wouldn't have taken to the pole for
any dog that ever lived, for many dogs
still living regret that they meas
ured telnpers with Ebenezer and have
found him present with a right swat of
the paw hat has ripped them from eer
to snout. and sent them galloping
homeward bowling and disfigured. Nor
would E.benezer accept any back talk
from any cat whatsoever. He is the
hack-fence champion of Hudson coun-
t.. Many and many a cat has become
a ghost through aspiring to joust with
Ebenezer.
Jimmy Smith Threw stones.
But the Hudson county feline cham
pion, for all his prowess, took to the
pole when Jimmie Smith began shying
stones at him. Jimmie was late on his
way back home with the morning milk
anyway SO he took the time to shy
a few stones at Ebenezer. One of them
caught the champion in the floating rib
and he took to the pole, hurt and
scared entirely out of his wits. Jim
mie Smith went home and too his lick
ing with the consolation that he'd given
one himself.
About three hours afterward Mrs.
Lezine went out to feed EbeneLer his

THOS. r. CREEDE SATISFIED
WITH HIS LITTLE JOKE.
Package for Republican Club
Traced to Secretary's Home.

Thomas r. Creole, who started the
recent rumpus in the East Orange Re-
publican Club by sending the board OF
governors a package containing needles
and other similar articles, has left for
Boston, now that the package has been
located.
MY opinion is" writes Mr.. Creole,
that it will arouse interest and bring
the members closer together than they
have ever been. Often times comic pic
lures create fun and stimulate intel
ligent interest
Postmaster Marcus Mitchell traced
the package at the request Of Nh.

delivered March 8 to Secretary Rus
