ing made and some of them are terri
BILE and ought to be corrected. 1t is
not to be supposed for one moment
that the reporter would dare accuse
mule of being caught in the middle
of the road when he was caught in the
yard from which he had not started
10 run, if the reporter knew the facts
and had not been told wrong. He
wouldn't think of saying the man
caught the mule at one place Wnen he
caught hm at another. Some people
may not see anything in all this, and
certainly there was no reflection
intended in the piece as it was
written, against anybody or
place. We suppose the main
facts stand as recorded; that a
negro stole the county supervisors S
mule and buggy and went to the coun-
ty home to see his girl, and it was a
striking coincidence that the girl who
happened to be at the home happened
also to be one of the girls who had
stolen some articles previously from
citizens of Newberry and who had
been arrested and brought to town
by Deputy Dorroh in an automobile
filled with the stolen goods. Hope
everything is all right.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-10-22

Perth Amboy's total registration
for the general election on November
4 is 4,077, or a decrease of 279 in
comparison with the number last
year. This is official, the figures
having been obtained by the EVEN
ING NEWS direct from the various
election boards. Last year the total
registration was 1886, which was
largely due to the fact that it was
presidential year The registration
for presidential elections is nearly
always larger than the other years.
The 1918 total is also 81 lower than
the total two years ago, when 4,138
were enrolled.
Through the efforts of both the
Republicans and Democrats 991
voters went to the\ nolls yesterday
and registered. 1t is believed that
there are still many who have not
enrolled and who as result cannot
vote on November A. The vote last
year with a registration of 4,356 was
1881. Estimating from these figures
1t is not likely that over $500 votes
will be Dol1ed in the city this year.
Another point which is shown B1s
the comparison of figures in the fore
going table is that there is a big in
crease of voters in the sixth ward
this year and big drop in the first
ward. Last year the total number
of registrations in the first ward was
100 more than the preceding year,
while this year the total shows de-
crease of 81. The increase in the
sixth ward is Al.
As tho sac0nd noI1 of tha sixth
ward now shows a registration of
425 1t is likely that there will be
redivision of the ward into three dis
tricts next year. In order to make
this possible over 400 votes must be
cast in a poll, and there is good
chance of this being done in the Sec
ond district. The forty-one addition
al voters in the sixth ward is due to
the fact that many have received
citizenship papers this year.

Six men were instantly killed and
as many more are dying in the hospi-
tails today as the result of boiler
explosion in the powerhouse of the
Richmond Light and Railroad Com
pany at Livingston. Staten Island,
shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. The explosion, which could
be felt In all parts of the northern
section of the island, put the entire
electric lighting and trolley service
out of commission for several hours.
Later cars began to move along the
east shore with power supplied from
the powerhouse at Grasmere.
According to the stories told to
Coroner William H. Jackson, who
has started an investigation of the
accident, the day workers had just
been relieved by the night shift in
the boiler room when one Of the en-
ployes found there was something
wrong with one of the twenty-six
horsepower boilers. Whether this
trouble was because the day men had
neglected to place water in the boiler
could not be learned. When the en-
tire island was thrown into darkness
stores and business places had to re-
sort to candles and oil lamps. Many
could be seen going along the streets
of Tottenville last night carrying a
lighted lantern to find their way
about. 1t is expected that there will
be no light on this end of the island
for several days. Plants depending
on the electric power to run their
ynotoro ara hadly nrinn1ed as a result
of the explosion.
Frank Harmon, the engineer, one
of those killed, is brother of Police

ly OF the Ninety-ninth precinct sta

ton, Tottenville. He was the first
one to go into the boiler room when
the trouble was reported and had
just entered the door when the ex-
plosion took place. Several others
nearby had narrow escape from be-
ing struck by the flying debris.
A passenger train on the north
shore division of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit came near being along
side of the plant when the explosion
occurred. A freight train within a
signal block was the only thing that
saved the passenger train, which was
In charge of Conductor Roy Collins
and Engineer Hanlon, and due to
pass the powerhouse at that time.
Hanlon saw the boiler hurled into
the air and drop into the XIII Won
Kull. The track was blocked for
more than half an hour before work
men could clear the wreckage.
Because of the trolleys being tied
up the Staten Island Rapid Transit
lines running both on the north and
south shores of the island were over
taxed and extra trains had to be put
on. In some places before the trains
started automobiles and other con-
veyances had to be pressed into SER
vice.
OF the dead that have been identi-
fed are:
Frank Harmon, engineer, fifty
years old, of Richmond terrace, Port
Richmond
Pietro Benvenito, fireman, of
Webster avenue, New Brighton.
Edward Kempton, fireman, thirty
five years old, address unknown.
Daniel Sullivan, fireman, thirty
three years old, Fletcher street,
