WANTS BLOOMFIELD TO
PAY $4,000 AS DAMAGES

Further testimony in the suit of
Mrs. Fannie Capron. of 502 West 149th
street, New York city, to recover
$4,000 damages from the town of
Bloomfield, for alleged illegal use of
water mains in Halcyon Park, that
town, was heard in the Supreme
Court before Judge Adams today.
The testimony had to do with the
right of Bloomfield to convey water
from the town pumping station
through the mains in Halcyon Park.
Mrs. Capron, in her bill of COM
plant, recites that in 1897 water
mains were laid in Halcyon Park by
her husband, Cyrus K. Capron, who
then owned the property. In 1908
Bloomfield made connections and be-
gan pumping water through the
pipes without obtaining the consent
of Mrs. Capron, to whom the prop
erty had been decided by her hus-
band. Through William Hamilton Os-
borne, her counsel, she sues to re-
cover for trespass.

the East Orange police today are
watching the house, at 100 West

LIVE WIRE SETS
FIRE TO BRIDGE
1t Was the "Jackknife" Affair
Over the Passaic and Car
Patrons Hoped.

If the jaclxknife bridge over the
Passaic river at Bridge street didn't
go to the place it should have today
It came very near it. for it was near
ly burned up.
Many and many a weary trolley
passenger, delayed for hours by the
perverse and mulish FRANKS of the
bridge, has fervently wished it was
In a much warmer climate than New
Jersey.
Several hundred trolley patrons to-
day had the pleasure of seeing It
catch fire just before noon. A trolley
wire on the Harrison lift dropped,
and in q moment the planking was
blazing.
The bridgetenders remembered now
many times irate passengers had con-
signed the span to the place spelled
with four letters, and they thought
the wishes of the troubled ones were
to be gratified
Just when the old bridge was burn
ing merrily Nathan Hill, a Kearny
line motorman, bowled along. He
picked up several newspapers, and
grabbing the broken strand held 1t
up from the planking. The fire soon
died down.
Trolley cars, loaded with passen-
gers and bound for West Hudson,
were strung up almost to Broad
street before repairs were finally
made. Just when everything was IN
readiness for the resumption of traf-
flc two tug boats came to the scene
and the lift was raised. This entailed
a delay of another quarter of an
hour

Croxone relieves these troubles be-

Paid TO Men.

That the Kearny Town Council

10 the members of the Kearny police

At last nights meeting William
Feighery declared the voters of the
town had decided by large majority
that the salary act be adopted why
not pay the policemen the money
they are entitled tor asked Mr..
Feighery. 'It would be better to do
that than to go TO the expense of It'll
cation because a few men think It
should be done. The policemen of
this town are q faithful set Of men,
they have large areas to cover and
should receive more compensation
than al present" declared Mr.. Feigh-
cry.
Edward Bannigan, chairman of the
association, spoke upon the salary
question. He said. There must GER
fainIy be some reason for the refusal
At the eleventh hour to grant the in
crease. We have a good set Of men
doing police duty in the town and
their salary should be commensurate
with duty performed by them. The
resolution in connection with the
salary matter was then passed.
The Resolution.
ii is as follows:
whereas. The citizens of the town
OF Kearny did vote TO adopt the
provisions of the act of the Legisla- |
ture providing for increase in the
salaries of members of the police
force; and
whereas, The courts of the State !
have decided that such increase is
retroactive; and
Whereas, The town Of Kearny has
refused to pay the increase to the
members of the Kearny police force,
thereby compelling the policemen to
resort to litigation: therefore be ii
Resolved, That we, the members
Of the Kearny Democratic Associa-
flor. do most earnestly avocate the
payment Of such increase without
any recourse to the courts"
