RAILROAD BUYS
BIG TRACT IN
SOUTH AMb0Y
n. Y. & [. B. Gets Halt of
Broadway.

South Amboy, Dec. 21.-The pur-
chase of BITS feet of the land of the
Conover estate in Sayreville town
ship between South Amboy and Nor
gan, by the New York & Long Branch
Railroad Co., as published is a part
of one of the biggest real estate
deals the county has had in a long
time. The rest of the transaction
includes nearly the entire east side
of Broadway, and ell the leading
business houses of this city, for tho
purpose of establishing q four track
line.
The properties purchased by the
railroad include the South Amboy
National Bank Building. the post Of
fee, the Martin hotel, the lowell &c
Gordon and A. H. Selover stores.
Nearly half of this property was sod
by former Congressman Benjamin
F. Howell including the Howell &
Gordon store and coal yards. Form
err Assemblyman Andrew H. Selover
also sold a large tract.
Only about 800 feet of the Broad
way tract remains to be sold, 1t Is
understood, including the properties
of Edward O'Connor, James Fl. Co.
don, Newell James, August Blum and
Frank Meinzer, and negotiations for
these are under way. The railroad
plans require only about ten or ff-
teen feet of the properties acquired
or being negotiated for, but the own
ers refused to cut that much of and
the New York e Long Branch decid-
ed to buy the prop critics outright,
take what 1t wanted from them and
then dispose of the rest. 1t is IN
derstood hat deals are already I'M
der way for the sale OF ONE OF the
properties.
1t Is understood tat Mr.. Howell
got $4,000 for the properties own
ed by him; that Andre Selover has
been paid $4,000 for his holdings;
Frank l.. Dey, s25, 900; Herbert Ber-
rien, $4,000; and Michael Sullivan,
$4,000.
The railroad will begin the work
OF laying the extra tracks next
spring, probably. There Is a strong
possibility, too, that it will elevate
through Perth and South Amboy at
the same time.
For about half OF the distance
through South Amboy the New
York and Long Branch has taken
land owned by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, by some arrangement the
| details of which are not known.
The four track system will be con-
| tinued from Perth Amboy to the
seashore. At Perth Amboy the
trains of both the Pennsylvania and
| Central Railroads of New Jersey
converge to the Long Branch tracks
and in the summer season the traffic
| becomes greatly ~congested. The line
is almost entirely devoted to pas
senger traffic.

Several weeks ago Hall was held up

The police at hat time paid little at
tention to him because it was found
that he had been drinking heavily. and
no one had eve seen a watch on him.
Edward Hall, the victir. of the at

by Wayne Cadwaliader, who was on

condition was much aggravated on ac-

his INJURIES, have compelled the ply

Charles Edward Hall. it was learned

wife a short time. Recently he gave
title to some property he had to his
brother William. This, the police be-

brother at Long Branch.
Five weeks ago the wife Of William
Hall died. He collected some insur-

say he has been drinking. A canvass of
saloons where he has been spending his

that he has been trying to borrow

NABBED FOR
PERJURY IN
COURTROOM

Following the conclusion of the TAX
ing of testimony in the suit for COM
pensation. brought by James X Smith,
of this city, against the General Elec-
trio Company, Of Harrison, under the
employers liability act, Smith was or
dered placed under arrest on a charge
Of perjury by Judge Harry v. Osborne
late yesterday afternoon.
The warrant was worn out by Chief
Frederick Weimer, Of the prosecutors
office, and Smith was arrested in h
courtroom and at once arraigned be-
fore Judge Osborne, sitting as a COM
hitting magistrate. He pleaded guilty
to the charge and was remanded to
Jail in default Of $1,000 bail for sentence
later.
In admitting that he had committed
perjury Smith said hat he did not
understand that he was committing a
crime when he had sworn as he did.
In his petition, Smith alleged that he
was injured July IA last, when a Jar of
acid broke, burning him badly from
the waist down. In the hearing yes
terday. it developed that the accident
happened on July II, and that on July
13 Smith had called on DR.. Squires, OF
Arlington, the company's physician,
but as the doctor was busy did not
wait for him. He called again July
II, and was advised to go home and
take a rest. Instead he went back
to work for the electric company and
worked ten days. when he quit. 1t also
developed that for twenty-five days in
September he had worked at the Sol
diers' Home, Kearny. as a fireman.
The perjury charge arose from the
fact that Smith in his petition for COM
pensation swore that he had not
worked at manual labor at any time
since his injury in July. The books of
the electric company and also of the
soldiers home were produced and
showed that he had worked during the
periods stated.
In explaining his work at the SOL
diers' home and why he had denied
under oath that he had been able to
perform manuel labor since the ac-
cident. he said he did not consider his
work as a fireman manual labor" as
all he had to do was shovel In a little
coal and then sit down again.
