Spotswood, Dec. "A gang of men
under the supervision of the Public
Service Gas Company, of New Bruins
wick, is busily engaged in erecting
poles in the borough for the long
sought street gas, which will serve
as the towns illumination within the

The kerosene system, now employed,
costs the borough about $500 per

about $1,140 per annum, and the
contract provides that the borough
can deduct for every light which does

S. A. JUSTICE
HAS BUSY DAY
Youth Held for Robbery
Alleged Gamblers Fined.
SDec{dl 10 the EVENING NEWS.

Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, Dec. 5:-Yesterday
was a busy day for Police Justice
Birmingham, who held both a morn
ing and afternoon session of court.
At 8 A. M. Edward Josiah and Ed
yard Muldoon, two young men OF
this city, who a few months ago were
discharged from the State Reforma-
tory at Railway, were brought before
His Honor charged with robbins
John Broderick, of this city, of a sum
of money and a silver watch. The
evidence given by Broderick was that
on Saturday last he drew $40 at the
Trust Company at Perth Amboy,
where he has a deposit, and that he
INDUCED somewhat In intoxicants
n that was the last he knew until
he awakened in his own home in this
city minus his money and watch.
The matter was reported to Chief
Mcdonnell, who soon got busy and
located the watch, which had been
sold by these parties to William Reh-
fuss. The young men claimed they
bought the watch from two young
men from Perth Amboy who they
met in John street Sunday morning
about l o'clock. AS they could not
tell who the men were and told con-
ficting stories about the matter they
were committed to the county jail in
default of bail to await the action of
the grand jury. They were taken by
Constable McCabe to New Brunswick
yesterday afternoon.
The other cases were heard late in
the afternoon and the parties were
arrested on the charge Of gambling.
They were travelling statesmen and
gave their names as John Harrison,
of Brooklyn; John Andrews, of Som
erville; James Smith, of Hoboken,
and a clerk in the employ OF Michael
Sullivan, who runs a fruit and con-
fectionery store at the corner Of
Broadway and First street in this
city.
The parties outside of the city
dropped into S~ullivan's, who was in
the city, and the clerk, who had been
imbibing pretty freely, invited the
parties in the back DON where the
ice cream tables are located. The
quartet was soon engaged in a game
with the money in plain view on the
table as it was facing a window In
First street ana soon quite q large
number Of boys and youths were
gathered around watching the game,
This brought the matter to the at
tention of older persons. who com
planned to the mayor, who had the
chief of police escort the parties to
the city hall with the exception OF
the clerk, who took leg bail but was
caught later. At the hearing none
of the parties who saw the gambling
IN operation would ONE forward and
make a complaint, therefore they
could not be held for the grand jury
The three statesmen were fined Sc
each under the disorderly act and the
clerk was locked up in the city lodg-
ing department until such time as he
got sober. The statesmen paid their
fine and were discharged, looking
very much happier than when being
given the hearing, especially Mr.,
Harrison, of Brooklyn, who claimed
he had a sick wife and children in
Brooklyn and that he promised to be
home last night.

MORGAN MORE
POPULAR NOW
May Yet be Annexed to City
of South Amboy.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, Dec. 5:-The NEWS
correspondent in South Amboy sug-
gested several years ago the annexa-
ton of the Morgan Height village
with the City of South Amboy, and
about that time an effort was made
by the two or three residents. The
opposition of several residents OF
S~ayreville township and South Am
boy prevented this matter being
brought about. Since that time a
number of residences have been
erected and during the summer nu-
merous bungalows and tents are
located on the beach and during the
summer season in that section much
activity is displayed, Notwithstanding
the hindrances that have arisen
among those who should have put
forth the greatest effort to have
made the place popular and progress
sive. Nevertheless, we believe that
Morgan Heights will progress with
such rapid strides that ere long those
who opposed the annexation Of the
heights to this city will almost turn
green with envy on account Of de-
feating the annexation when there
was opportunity.
Great preparations are being made
for the coming season and no doubt
there will be more dwellings erected
than in any season heretofore. The
trolley company has altered their
line of road, making the laying out
Of streets more advantageous, and
there are a number of teams under
the direction of G.. E. Apologize at
work grading the streets. When
these improvements are completed
no doubt many fine residences will
spring up.
