FRANCHISE FOR
TELEPHONE CO.
Compromise Reached in the
Differences at keyport.
Special to the EVENING NE WIS.

Keyport, June 24-The New York
G. New Jersey Telephone Company
have accepted the telephone ordi-
nance submitted to them by the
mayor and council. The ordinance
accepted constitutes the franchise
drawn by the borough authorities
during the winter granting the tele-
phone company a fifty year charter.
The ordinance as previously drawn
up was Objectionable In regard to
certain articles of agreement and was
rejected by the telephone company.
If a whole new ordinance was neces-
sary to be drawn, the telephone COM
pany was given to understand that
they would never have an option
again on a fifty year contract. After
further negotiations between Mr.. Nc
Harg, representing the telephone
company, and the borough authori-
ties, a compromise was effected and
the original contract was arranged
satisfactorily to all parties.
Acceptance of the. ordinance was
received last week by Borough Clerk
A. M. Walling and Mayor William E.
Warn. The acceptance will be read
before the borough council at the
regular meeting tonight and if it
meets with the approval of the mem
bers 1t will be ratified at once, max
ing it authoritive. One of the fayors
the borough will receive will be the
installation of five more public
phones, beside the n in the Dor
ough hall already received. They
will be placed at the pumping sta
ton at East Keyport, in the frehouse
of the Liberty Company at South
Keyport and one each in the three
public schools in the borough.
1t is expected that the trouble of
obtaining telephone service in the
borough will o cease.

Keyport, June 24:-While the
freight boat Sycamore of the New
York Steamboat Company, was lying
at her dock at the foot of Broad
street yesterday afternoon, William
iStiff, a negro deck hand made an at
tack with a shap potato knife, upon
William DAYS, another negro deck
hand, while he was sleeping on the
forward part of the boat, cutting
him severely. The attack was the
climax of a bitter quarrel In which
the two men had been engaged In
more IT less during the day. Stiff
had in some manner, lost money to
the amount Of 81 and he accused
Davis robbing him Of it. The latter
denied any knowledge of the money.
About 4:30 o'clock In the after
noon, while Davis was seleping, Stiff
is accused of slashing Davis about
the head and face.
Davis bleeding badly from a large
number of bad cuts, managed to get
on his feet, and, fighting off his ell
ragged adversary, shouted for aid and
made an effort to escape. A large
number of persons were lounging
about the dock and Immediately
went to the assistance of Davis, who
WAS about exhausted.

stable Isaac Johnson, who were
attracted to the scene by the COM
motion and after looking the victim
over and sending for a doctor, a
search for the slasher who had dis
appeared, vas begun. The bystand-
ers were not possessed to do much
looking about and Officer Mount,
who took charge of the case, board
ed the vessel, made a thorough in
spection, but found no man. When
he was about to come ashore a shout
was raised that the culprit was run
ming off the dock, he having eluded
the police In some manner He pass
ed several persons who decided he
was too tough looking a customer to
try and stop, but Officer Mount was
equal to the occasion and after a
sharp chase for about a block, he
captured his man, who had his hand
deep In his pocket, which the officer
Immediately grabbed and On search
ing him, brought forth an ugly look
ing pen knife.
The fight was all out of the negro
by this time and he was locked up
in the borough hall.
Davis in the meantime had been
hurried to the office of DR.. II. S.
Cooley, who not being in, and the
negro being SO weak from loss Of
blood was put in an automobile and
taken to the corner of Broad and

ent despised and degenerate ruler
of Servia, whom the people will
overthrow on the slightest pre-
text.
For many years Prince Lazaro-
vich Hrebelianovich, descended
from Gar Doushan's infant son,
has lived in England and in him
the hopes of the Servian people
have long been conferred. An
outbreak was imminent five years
ago when Frances Joseph was be-
lieved to be on his death bed.
The Austrian emperor's death
was to have been the signal for
a great struggle for independence
in which Hungary was to have
seeded from the union with Aus
tria and Servia, and Bulgaria,
Montenegro and Roumania were
to have formed a coalition to seat
Prince Hbebelianovich on the
throne of the new empire. The
emperor's recovery, however, de-
layed matters and, until now, the
Balkans have been on the watch
for an opportunity which would
made this plan possible.
The trouble between Turkey
and Macedonia has been seized
upon with avidity and there is
now a strong movement in favor
of the Servian restoration which
will be difficult for the powers to
check.
Princess Eleanor is a beautiful

which may, in the near future,

throne of a new empire-recon-
Structed Servia.
Eleanor, Princess Hrebeliano-

to the Servian throne, is daugh-
ter of Judge Calhoun of San Jose,
CAL, U. S. A. More than ten
years ago she gained success as a
grand opera singer, and while
playing in London she met Prince
Lazarovich Hrebelianovich, lin
cal descendant of the Doushan
cars that once ruled the former
empire of Servia.
This nation included Bulgaria,
Montenegro and other contigu-
Gus states and was ruled by the
powerful house of Doushan. But,
in the fourteenth century Servia
tottered and fell. The last reign
ing car, though a brave and hon
orable ruler, was a poor diplomat,
and Austria contrived by various
intrigues to disrupt and dismem-
Der his kingdom.
At the famous battle of Koss-
ovo, one of the bloodiest and most
bitterly contested fights in his
tory, the last Doushan car was
slain, but he managed to have his
infant son spirited away. What
