Manila is now awakening to the
fact that the only way to make town
progressive is to get a good crowd
of boosters behind it and each one
boost for all they are worth, which
they certainly have been doing the
past month or more. During the past
month new independent grain firm
was established, whereby E. A. Pack
ard entered into partnership with
Messrs. r. Rasmussen and F. Brown,
of the Manila Mill company, in the
grain buying department. Mr. Pack

experts in their line of business. A
new home bakery has also been es-
tablished in the old e. w. Barber shoe

what this town has needed for several
wears. L. w. Burlington is also erect
ing a new one-story brick building be-
tween the Palace restaurant and the

as a five and ten cent store. The

FIVE HURLED FROM AN
AUTO NEAR METUCHEN

The party had been to New Bruins
wick to inspect a building being
erected there by Mr.. Donehue for
Mr.. Brewer and were on their way
back to this city. Mrs. Brewer was
at the wheel trying her hand in steer
ing the car. The chauffeur was on
the same seat, and Mr.. Brewer and
Mr.. Donehue, with the little girl
were in the rear. On reaching a di-
viding point fl the New Brunswick
turnpike Mrs. Brewer was about to
take the main branch of the road,
leading over the Lehigh Valley rail-
road bridge, when Mr.. Brewer called
out to her to keep straight ahead.
She made the turn to keep the
straight road so quickly the machine
leaped in the opposite direction. Be-
fore she could change its course to
the middle of the road, it plunged
into the embankment, catapultlng all
out of the car.
The right axle of the machine was
bent out of shape, the lamps and
wind shield broken, and other dam
age done. The car was too crippled
to continue its journey. A passing
automobile picked up the party, ex-
cept the chauffeur, who remained
with the machine until a nearby gar
age was notified and later had 1t
toWed there for repairs.

Strangled, doped, and bruised
from being kicked and cuffed, John

nue., came to his senses in a dark
alley along the Bowery, near James

eleven dollars had been taken from
him. He reported the matter to the
police, but being unable to give an
accurate description of his assailants
they will probably not be brought to
justice.
Mr.. Natoli who conducts a groc-
cry at 344 New Brunswick avenue,

more than $50 to purchase fruit and
other supplies for his store. He Vis-

Five Perth Amboy people had a
narrow escape from serious injury,
when the Model T Ford touring car,
in which they were riding from New
Brunswick to Metuchen, ran at full
speed into an embankment on the left
side of the New Brunswick turnpike,
ana pitched them headlong from the
machine to the ground, about six
o'clock last night.
John c. Donehue, a contractor, of
231 State street, was the only one Of
the party receiving other than slight
injuries. He was thrown several
feet into the air to the top of the
embankment, landing on his head.
The derby lessened shock, which only
dazed him. His right leg, however,
struck the ground with such force
that he is lame today. In his flight
through the air his head came within
a few inches of a telephone pole,
which blow would have probably kill
ed him, as he was shot from the car
with great force.
The others thrown out, but only
sustaining slight bruises, were Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Brewer and Gladys
Brewer, nine years old, of 72 Madi-
son avenue, and the chauffeur, whose
name could not be learned. The ma
chine was from the Perth Amboy
garage in Madison avenue.
