adelphia and New York.

A large water tank on the Penn
sylvania railroad in South Amboy,
burst yesterday afternoon causing a
flood in the much talked-of 'hole-in-
the-wall," blocking traffic for some
time. Rigs of Thomas Farroat and
the New Jersey Produce Company,
Of this city, became stalled and had
to be hauled out with the assistance
of other teams
Repairs are being made to the new
road leading to South Amboy from
the county bridge and as result the
"hole-in-the-wall," a dark tunnel un-
der the Pennsylvania tracks, was
used. AS Harry Farroat, who was
driving for his father, was in the
tunnel, the tank broke, which caused
the water to rise up to the hubs on
the vehicle. The rig became stalled.
At the same time the New Jersey
Produce Company's rig was stalled
in a similar way nearby.

OF LEWIS ST.
Decision of AIdermen--Con-
fersncs Last Hight.

Following the fling of a petition
by Lewis street property owners to
have the new pavement relaid, the
city fathers have practically decided
that at least a portion of it must be
done over again. Alderman held a
conference with City Surveyor Sam
uel ]. Mason on the subject last
night. 1t was then stated that Off
cials of the Hastings Pavement Com
pany would probably be in this city
on Monday or Tuesday to confer
with city officials upon the subject.
The aldermen seem unanimous in
the opinion that a portion of the
rough concrete in Lewis street put
down by the Hastings Pavement
Company, is deficient in thickness
and also in quality in places. One of
the aldermen said Mr.. Mason was
competent and could pick out all the
poor spots, in which concrete will be
relaid. The majority of property
owners along both sides of Lewis
street have signed petition to have
all the rough concrete removed and
the work done over again according
to specifications,

Local people were treated to the

Wise, Hamilton's manager, was in
charge of the plane and he says that
1t will be used this afternoon in At

day at Atlantic City.
Break OF Towing Apparatus.
The machine was delayed by the
breaking of bolt in the towing ap-
paratus. This had to be repaired be-
fore the remainder of the trip could
be made. AS soon as the machine
stopped at Smith and High streets, a
large crowd quickly collected and
the mechanics, had difficulty in work

auto license was procured and the
machine proceeded on the trip to At
lantic City.
The aeroplane is of the Burgess
Wright make and was folded up for
shipment, so that it occupied as lit
tie space as possible. 1t was towed
on a framework of wood supported
by automobile wheels by means of a
rod made for that purpose. The en-
gine and all the mechanical parts
were covered to protect them from
the wear and tear of travel. The
machine is tho sanne one in which

President Sends Name TO Senate

GENERAL SURPRISE ABOUT CITY
Postmaster Tice Says He Expected
il for Some Terms ii
as Political Move.

The appointment of William H.
Pfeiffer to succeed George H. Tice as
postmaster for this city, as an
nounced by the EVENING NEWS on
bulletins yesterday, seems to have
created a general surprise through
out the city to everybody but Post
master George H. Tice. Today he
declared 1t was no surprise to him,
as political forces that replaced his
friends had been working against
him for the past thirteen months.
He then stated that "Dory' Strong
had to do something for William H.
Pfeiffer, whom, he said, had been
lost by the wayside." He declares
such move was rather what he ex-
pected after his last appointment of
but two years in February of last
year. He tried not to express any
signs of regret when interviewed by
an EVENING NEWS man in his
office this morning He declared
that by his five appointments as
postmaster he must have served
pretty well or he would not have
been reappointed so often.
News Informed Him.
This morning William H. Pfeiffer
declared he could say nothing about
the appointment, other than that he
was first informed by the EVENING
NEWS yesterday that President Taft
had chosen him for the postmaster
ship in this city. He said he had re-
ceived no other notification of the
appointment, official or otherwise.
He intimated, however, that his
name had been mentioned in connec-
ton with it.
The EVENING NEWS, by means
of it's quick telegraphic service, re-
ceTvSr~he~ news Of 1 ofeiffer' S
appointment at AIS O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. 1t arrived as follows
over the special Unted PrsNvire to
the EYENIN NEWS ofied
Washington, July 7:>ie P 81
dent nominated the following pc
masters: New Jersey-William 1
Pfeiffer, Perth Amboy; Charles Ich-
born, West Hoboken."
Bulletins were Immediately print
ed and hung in the EVENING NEWS
windows and other conspicuous
places. Thus the news was spread
throughout the city, although it ar
rived too late for publication in yes
terday's issue of the NEWS.
Gossip started and even up TO a
late hour this morning city officials
and prominent Republicans seemed
to doubt the report, declaring that
Mr.. Pfeiffer had probably been
chosen to replace Robert Carson as
collector of the port of Perth Amboy.
When officials were interviewed on
the appointment today, they asked if
it was really true that 1t had been
made Many seemed to doubt that
such a change should come about at
this time.
Postof1ce employees had little to
say about the matter this morning.
They desired not to be quoted on the
subject. Some declared they had
not received exactly the right kind of
treatment at the hands of Mr.. Tice.
Assistant Postmaster Tyrrell would
make no statement regarding the
change other than to say that Mr..
Pfeiffer was a good man and he be-
lieved he would make a good post
master.
Confirms His appointment.
Just before noon Mr.. Pfeiffer did
some telephoning and learned that
the news of his appointment was cor

rect and he so informed his inquir-
ers, among whom were many of the
city officials. Alderman-at-Large
William D. Voorhees, was one of
these and he was later questioned by
a NEWS representative as to what
he thought of the change. He inti-
mated improvements could be expect
ed when Mr.. Pfeiffer takes office,
stating "a new broom generally
sweeps clean" Other officials, among
whom were Chief of Police P. ].
Burke, said Mr. Pfeiffer was a very
good msn.or the position. Chair
man L. Bun >4G1Te, Of the City Re-
publican Committeet-also stated Mr..
Pfeiffer was a good man foSIhe posi-
ton.
History of MFR. Tice.
Mr.. Tice was first appointed post
laster by President Benjamin Harri-
son in 1894. He served four years
and then resigned because Grover
Cleveland became president Mr..
Tice was reappointed to the position
by President William Mckinley in
1893 and he has served since, max
ing a total of about seventeen and
half years. In February of last year
he received an appointment of but
two years, although the usual term
is four years. When seen this morn
ing he declared that move to be a
part of the political game to oust
him after his friends had ceased to
be in power politically. He stated
that the result is the efforts of
United States Senator Frank 0.
Briggs.
1t is generally believed that the
fight that has long existed between
the postmaster and postoffice employ
es, which recently resulted in an in
vestigation of local pOstoffice affairs,
has caused the change to be made
The employees have long raised ct-
jections to Mr.. Tice's method of do
ing business and handling them and
began to seek redress by holding
meetings of clergymen and business
men. The latter organized into a
committee, circulated petitions for
postoff1ce improvements and then
brought the subject before Congress

TO REGULATE
KEEPING OF
LIVE STOCK

Should an ordinance being drawn
by City Attorney Corby at the re-
quest of Sanitary Inspector Long
pass the city council when it is pre-
sented it will be up to every proper
tw owner to measure off certain
distance before he builds barn or
constructs a poultry yard, or be
hauled into court and pay fine.
According to Sanitary Inspector
Long there is now no ordinance on
the subject of keeping live stock and
chickens in the city and neighbor
entertaining an ill feeling toward the
other can make it very unpleasant
for him by erecting the barn near
his residence or constructing near it
poultry yard. With the view of
regulating this and other phases OF
the question he has asked the city
attorney to prepare an ordinance
prescribing that no barn or poultry
yard can be constructed. unless at a
certain distance from residence.
