OPERATIONS IN
BUILDING LINE
Work is Being Rushed
School Additions.

That there is a large amount of
building work in progress in and
about this city is evident from the
fact that there Is an unusual scarcity
of carpenters In and about this city,
and union men following this trade
will find 1t an easy matter to get
work with any contractor In Perth
Amboy. Not only do the contractors
desire immediate help, but they have
enough work In view to keep all
ready men busy for some months to
come. Never before In the city's
history, well posted men declare, has
such a demand for men existed.
1t is not the smallness of numbers
of the men plying this trade here.
the contractors state, but the rush
and hustle to complete one hundred
and ono Jobs at the same time. And
there seems to be no let up In the
call for first-class workmen, either,
as several large contracts were re-
Gently awarded and all eyes are on
the job of the Hyme Company, at
Smith and State streets, where three
buildings are to be erected immedi-
ately upon completion of excavation.
These buildings will be one, two, and
three stories high.
Several large contractors have call
ed upon William j. Murtagh, the
business agent for, the Carpenters &
Joiners' Union, for ready men. He
supplied a number, but has discover
ell that these conditions have existed
here for some time and there is not
an idle union carpenter In the city.
If there is he would like to have him
call.
One of the Jobs taking a large
force of men is the improvements
and addition to the high school.
This work will cost around $4,000.
The architectural firm of j. N.
Pierson & Son report building work
unusually brisk. They are preparing
plans and specifications for repairing
and improving a number of school
houses for the Belleville Board of
Education and for remodeling and
repairing the First Baptist church at
Hightstown. Plans and specifications
for the new school house to be erect
ed at Hightstown are out among con-
tractors for estimates. The Ocean
port school house, which is also be-
ing erected according to plans pre-
pared by j. N. Pierson C Son will
soon be enclosed. The roof is being
constructed. .t

FIFTY PERISH IN
SHIP COLLISION
BIacknsss of Tropical Storm
Accompanied by Tragedy.

Port Llmon, Costa Rica, July 10
Probably fifty persons, thirty-two
passengers and eighteen sailors, lost
their lives when the steamships Irma
and Diamante collided in the darkness
of a tropical storm.
OF the Irma passengers only eight es-
capped after thrilling rescues.
The collision occurred in the estuary
Of the San Juan river. The Irma was
on its way to Greytown with forty
passengers and a large cargo Of
freight. The Diamante, with sixteen
passengers and only moderately laden,
was steaming up the river toward Cas-
tillo.
A tropical storm, accompanied by
binding rain and |incessant lightning,
was raging. The Irma was on the
right side Of the river and is said to
have been going slowly. The Dla-
mantle was on the same side and is
said to have been going at a high
speed.
It is asserted by survivors Of the
Irma's crew that the pilot Immediately
changed his course, but that the rap
idly approaching vessel, either on ac-
count of the storm or be""use OF Its
Roadway, appeared ~ keep straight on
rncIrma was rammed with fright
full ~torceSsIts sides were spIintered and
several passengers ara ~thaaght to have
met death in the shock.
Almost Immediately the boat began
10 sink. Those who escaped were saved
by accident. except such as were taken
to the shore through heroic efforts of
the Costa Rican coast guardsmen.
The rescuers thought both boats
would sink. Aboard the Diamante the
panic was even greater than on the
Irma, If that were possible. Its bow
had been badly shattered, but not SUI
| fcient to render the vessel unsea-
to the officers.
Members of the crew and the passen-
gers shrank in fear, and the boats
were lowered as quickly as possible.
Just as the first boatload swung down,
however, there was a stroke of light
ming that seemed to Craze the masts.
One woman swooned and fell into the
black sea.
Coast guardsmen performed super
human feats at the wreck of the Irma.
Boats carried out lines from shore and
a careful patrol of the rough water
was begun. The storm was so severe
that lifeboats barely could be kept
upon their keels, and their efforts In
most cases were vain
Few of the bodies have been recov-
cred. but at Colorado bar the sea Is
| covered with floating merchandise
! from the wreck.

GOSSIP ABOUT
REAL ESTATE
Further Slump in Markst
During Past Week.

In dications of a further slump in
the real estate market have prevail
ed for some time, but the real lack of
activity struck this city during the
past week. Only five transfers were
filed with Collector Richard F.
White. which Is considered the small
est number In many months. The
number usually runs about ten, with
an average of about eight. No cause
can be given for the lack Of activity
In the market, unless 1t Is the wealth
er.
Suburban properties has gone a
begging" for the past three months
and now a complete halt has come in
the city transfers. There are other
deals still pending, though, which
may materialize during the coming
week and furnish gossip for the 10
cal brokers financially interested In
the market. There seems to be very
little farm property moving, entire
ly due to the fact the tillers of the
soil have acres after acres of turn
ing grain, waiting for harvest. AT
ter 1t Is CLEANED, it Is said several
big farms In this vicinity will be Of
fered for sale.
Among the five transfers filed with
Mr.. White are two previously record
ed in these columns. The sale Of
Emily c. Nedham's property In Cor
don street, to Lena krtelsheimer, who
will build on the site, was related in
these columns last week. The trans
fer from Sheriff Quackenboss to the
Citizens Corporation was also noted.
These lots are a part of the Holm
tract.
