ACTION AGAINST
PUBLIC SERVICE.
South Amboy Authorities
Give Company Until Tonight
epectoI to the EVENING NEWS,

SDSC1Oi 30 IRe u VS.
South Amboy. June 20.-A rumor
was in circulation throughout the
city hat the authorities had insti-
tuted a suit in the supreme court
for the purpose of bringing about
a condition whereby the Public Ser
vice Railway Company might be
compelled to grade and pave their
track in Broadway In accordance
with the ordinance passed by the
common council.
Not to lead any M in error, the
NEWS correspondent interviewed
some in authority In reference to the
matter ana was Informed that the
city counsellor had been instructed
to enter suit against the aforesaid
corporation. but the entering of suit
would not prevent the amicsble set
tlement OF all difficulties between
the city and the corporation; that
representatives OF the Public Ser
vice and some of the city authorities
had been in conference with the view
of having the matter amicably ad-
justed, and that the ultimatum from
the city was that granite block Of
certain dimensions be laid on the out
and inner side of the rail and the re-
naming space between rails, and
two feet on the outside of the rail
with bitul1thic and hat an answer
must be rendered to the city in forty
eight hours from the conference,
which will expire tonight.
AS much has been said pro and
con as to the ability Of the city to
compel the trolley company to place
pavement in and around their track
suitable to the city, that phase of
the matter perhaps oan be better an
swered should It pas through the
court, but If through the Indifference
or ignorance of those who piloted the
council at the time of granting the
franchise to the trolley company to
enter our city some OF the rights of
the citizens have been overlooked,
there have been enough errors on
the part of the company, if infinitely
examined by them, to force them to
the conclusion that possibly they may
not have the matter of running into
South Amboy all their own way
There is a statute In force Great
ing a public utility commission, and
that at the present time there Is a
Board of Utility Commissioners and
from reading over the different re-
ports handed in by this board and in
some instances their decisions up
held by the courts, the opinion is
that South Amboy has some chance
of being righted.
Whether the company is compelled
to pave according to the city ordi-
nance or not there was number OF
ways the Public Service has viol ted
the ordinance, giving the privilege
for them to lay their tracks and run
cars into the city. Their tracks are
in a dilapidated condition and IN
safe for travel, as the ties are rot
ten, the rails arc very much worn,
the road is uneven and in places vec|
much out of gage and should the
Board of Utility Commissioners be
called in the matter no doubt there
would be q suspension of traffic for

livening nature, while the bestowal
of the diplomas was done in a man

FATHER COYLE'S
 SHARP REBUKE
Tells His Congregation There Are Too Few Marriages And
 TCo Few Births
TALKS OF RAGE SUICIDE
In Matter of Marriages, He Says, the Girls Are Not Entirely at
 Fault.

In commenting upon the small mum Der of bapttsms in the parish during the past year, Rev. John D. Coyle, of St. Johns Roman Catholic Church, in New Haven, took the occasion to administer a rebuke to his congrega- tion on the subject of race suicide, yesterday. He said that in con gregation of over 5000 members 76 births were altogether too few a num- Der. He feared, he said, that his peo- pie were tending to absorb the spirit seeks to thwart the designs of Provi- dence in low or no birth rate. He reca led the teaching of the Catholic Church on the subject, and said among
 "The couple who deliberately seek to prevent the propagation of the race are guilty of the blood of little chil- dren, and terrible will be their pun ishment The Catholic Church does not. and cannot have any sympathy with this modern y-disintegrat- ing theory of qua ity not quantity re garding offspring, and the hore of the nation, no less of the individual, lies in its children.
 "Divorce is blasting family life, and eating at the vitals of the nation, be- cause incompatible couples, unable to , bear with one another in Christian charity, rush to the courts to separate them. What becomes of the children? :? stance. they are played into the hand of first one, then another, with no homes, no idea s, no substantial in fluence to guide their youthful ca reers.''
 Father Coyle criticised the low mum Der of marriages, too, among his con gregation The men complain said he that the women are too extrava- gant, demand too many luxurieS be- fore they will marry. but the fault is not entirely with them. The linen are just as selfish, spend just as much money on themselves. No maria ages and the result is an age of iicentious- ness and indulgence in passions sell dom equa1led since the fall of Rome
