NEW BRIDGE is
READY FOR USE
Fine Steel Structure at Nor
gan Rights improvements.
) ecrni IN In. EVEN va VIEWS.

s ec,ni IN tn. EVEN va VIEWS.
Keyport, Feb. 18:-The new steel
bridge erected by the Jersey Central
Traction Company of this place at
Morgan Heights. extending from the
county road at that place over the
railroad tracks of the New York &
Long Branch railroad. was open to
the general traffic about 8 o'clock
Friday night.
The bridge is all of steel construc-
ton resting upon concrete piers. The
job has taken months to be complet-
ed and at a great expense to the
company. The bridge is some dis
lance on the north side of the old
wooden structure over which it has
the great advantage of being on a
straight line. while the original
bridge was on a curved angle. Not
only does it correct this curve. but
in the shifting of the track to the
north it also does away with two
curves on Morgan Heights. At the
same time it shortens the number of
feet of track at that point a consid-
cradle amount.
The new arrangement will also
shorten the running time to South
and Perth Amboy TO some extent.
The first car to pass owe the new
structure was work car No. 1903,
which vas followed by three extra
passenger cars from the Amboy end.
Other improvements which are
under way at Morgan are the new
county bridge spanning the
creek which is Of the lift draw type
and will be at a height of eight feet
from the high water mark above the
creek while the former bridge was
only four feet.
The New York & Long Branch
Railroad Company have also con-
structed a new steel ~drawbridge at
place. The aggregate of the
invested in these improve
at Morgan will represent many
OF dollars.

superintendent of Transportation
OF the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany Chester Walling's attention was
attracted by the suspicious actions
of three strange men at the corner
OF Church and Third streets when he

that neighborhood. Mr.. Hoffman
communicated with Oficers Mason
and johnson and they summoned

MURPHY VS.. THE PEOPLE.

The election of Mitchell as mayor o.
New York City by the largest plurality
in the history of that municipality is .
check to the presumption by one mar
that he is powerful enough to contro
the official destinies of city in which
there are several millions of people
Nominally it is Tammany hall, an or
ganization which mixes up in elections
actually it is one man, the head OF that
organization, who attempts to direct the
campaigns for a certain candidate ano
against other candidates. The head OF
Tammany hall is really the great power;
and that head attempts to arrogate To
himself supreme authority over millions
OF his fellow-men, raising up men here
and there, and forcing others to knuckle
and all compelled to do his bidding. In
short, the head of that organization ex-
erts dictatorial powers. He is arbitrary
in the extreme. He imposes his fiat on
all sides, not only during elections but
following the elections. But now and
then he presumes too much; he oversteps
himself. The millions Of people repre-
sented by several thousand voters go to
the polls and show their resentment at
the action of the dictator by inflicting
decisive defeat; they for the time.
being throw off the yoke of one-man
power and come into their own. Thus
in the election of Tuesday the people
arose in their power and piled up the
biggest avalanche Of votes ever recorded
and fairly engulfed Murphy with bal
lots. And it was John Purroy Mitchels
good fortune that he happened to be the
man who rode on that avalanche. The
election was not by any means a tribute
to Mitchel's ability; and he is keen
enough man to perceive that. Mitchell is
young man OF no over-towering abil-
ity to carry on the administration of a
great metropolis, but he was considered
by the fusion element as honest and
available and he got the nomination and,
eventually, the election. That the con-
fidence of great plurality of the vot.
ers of New York City was not misplaced
is his opportunity to show; and he starts
out well by asserting that he viii not
recognize Tammany hall in the admin
istration of the city's affairs. Tammany
is temporarily down; the next thing is
to hold it and its leader down.
