TURN GAS OUT
AT SPOTSWOOD
Common Council Will Renew
Kerosene LiQht Contract.
Special to tho EVENING NEWS,

special TO tho NEWS.
Spotswood, April 27:-Spotswood
expects to have lights again, but,
evidently, not of a gas nature. The
prevailing sentiment In common
council, to the effect that what was
good enough for grandfather Is good
enough for me-" predominated
Thursday night at the regular semi
monthly meeting in borough hall.
Clerk George W. DeVoe was in
structed to advertise for bids for a
continuation of the kerosene light
ing system for six months time.
Councils action was forced by the
sudden declinatlon of J. Foley, who
has removed to Midtown, to con-
tinue to lift this village from a
~slumbering hamlet in the shadow of
darkness up into the realm of light.
Many expected that the council
men would take this opportunity to
install a gas system, which would
cost about $500 per year more than
the present kerosene lights. No
mention was made of the proposed
improvement, however, and the mo-
ton to continue the kerosene system
was passed without a dissenting
vote. The council adjourned to
meet again text Thursday night, at
which time tho bids are r~eturnable.
The contract will call for the light
ing of the town by about eighty
lamps already installed every night
in the month. Heretofore five moon
light nights each month were ex-
Guided. Mayor A. B. Appleby strong
ly favors the gas lights and has
been supported by many taxpayers
who believe this marked improve
ment could be accomplished without
any-additional burden to the prop
erty owners

FOR
TRRASHING BOY
South Amboy Baker Held
for Grand Jury.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

DVtttut 10 tue Il ' WIN ~ II " Dc
South Amboy, April 27:-Com-
plant was made to Justice of the
Peace Mason yesterday afternoon by
Michael Mccarthy, of Mechanics
vile, against Michael O'Brien, for
beating his son, William Mccarthy.
Mr.. O'Brien appeared before the JUS
tiCe last evening and was given a
hearing.
The testimony of William McCar-
thy, and was c~orroborated by two
boys who were with him, that a boy
by the name of Stollo mad been an
noying O'Brlen and he started after
the Stolte boy in so doing ran into
young Mccarthy, tripping and fall
ing, and that on getting up he was
so enraged that he gave young Nc
Carthy the beating. Mr.. O'Brien,
who is a baker OF Broadway, and
runs a wagon up through Mechanics
Vile, stated he had been annoyed
for such a long time by the boys in
that section by their frightening
and throwing stones at his horse
that patience had ceased to be a vir-
tue and he thought if he jumped out
of his wagon the guilty boy who had
been annoying him would run and in
this he was not mistaken for the
Stolte DO yran. He claims as he
started after him the Mccarthy boy
tripped him, Causina him to fall and
it was then he whipped him and did
not hesitate to say he wished he had
killed him. The justice held him on
his own recognizance to await the
action of the grand jury.
Mr.. O'Brien is a quiet, unoffending
citizen and the proYocation must
have been great to cause him to
leave his wagon, yet he was hasty
in his judgment and was not justi-
fed in taking the law in his own
hands.
