WORK STARTED
ON REPAIRS TO
COUNTY BRIDGE

Work on constructing the tempo
rary rest piers for the ends of the
cantilever span of the draw of the
county bridge over the Raritan river
has been started, and to the delight
of commuters, with favorable wealth
er, will be completed, it is believed,
during the latter part of January
when trolley traffic across the struc-
ture will be resumed.
The General Contracting and En-
gineering Company, of New York,
have the contract, which calls for the
placing of an emergency rest pier
consisting of four clusters of ninety
foot piling under each end of the
span. The emergency piers will ex-
tend over the present concrete piers,
which will be relieved of their pres
ent weight, while they are perma-
nently repaired under the supervi-
sion of County Engineer Alvin S.
Fox. Because of their deterioration
the Public Utilities Commission on
October 81, recommended the sus-
pension of trolley traffic over the
draw, which order was carried into
effect the next day.

[AN|YER5FAVOR
c. c. H0MMANN
ASC0URT JUDGE

Practically all practitioners Of law
In the city have signed a petition.
urging Senator William e. Ramsay to
introduce the name of G.. G. HON.
mann, city attorney here, as Judge OF
the Perth Amboy district court.
Judge John w. Beekman s term will
expire early In the coming year. The
names mentioned most prominently
in connection with the position are
those of Mr. Hommann and former
Recorder Henry w. Kehoe.
Contrary to report made public
last week, 1t is denied among the le-
gal fraternity of the city that Mr..
Kehoe is favored by DR.. Ramsay. The
question was put up to the Middle
sex senator upon more than one oc-
casion, and his reply was that Mr..
Kehoe had been one Of the appli-
cants for the position who had re-
ceived the same answer as the 9TH
ers, which was to the effect that his
name would receive due considera-
tionwhen the proper time arose.
Every lawyer acted favorably upon
the request to sign the petition for
Mr.. Hommann when it was circulated
by a prominent barrister here. In
view Of the fact that Mr.. Kehoe is
an aspirant for the position, the doc
ument was not placed in Mr. Ke-
hoes office for signatures.
Current gossip among leading
Democrats indicates that, in event
Mr.. Hommann is made judge of the
district court, Thomas Brown may
become city attorney.

The merchants are beginning to
take their annual Inventories, which,

means the throwing on the market at
a sacrifice many lots of goods
which he finds among his stock and
which the merchant himself hardly
knew he had on his shelves.
Suburban Day last Wednesday was
a recordbreaker. Fares will be re-
funded as usual, according to the

COURT DECISION

Besides having been declared in
sane, and being pursued by the police
for the murder early in November of
Mrs. Henry Richie, of near New
Brunswick, Richard Won Krebs now
appears before the public in the role
of a bigamist. On the ground that
Won Krebs was legally married to
another woman at the time that he
married the present Mrs. Won Krebs.
Special Master In Chancery John S.
McMaster. of Jersey City, recon-
mended that the second marriage be
annulled, in report filed in the
court of chancery Saturday.
Mrs. Won Krebs petitioned for a
divorce on the ground that Won
Krebs had not obtained a divorce
from Rebecca A. Radenacher, who
he had married on May 81, 1897,
after assuming the name of John
Bruno. The murder of Mrs Henry
Richie, tenant of Won Krebs, made
the present Mrs. Won Krebs fear for
her life, and she sought safety from
her husband in New York, and short
ly afterward began proceedings for
the annulment of the marriage.

In mistake for kerosene, Mrs. Del

were playing pool In the adjoining
room, saved themselves from the

Mrs. Del Rizzo's clothing became
ignited and before help could reach

burned off the woman. Terribly
burned and disfgured, the woman

here tomorrow under the auspices Of
the American Red Cross. 1t will be
made the means Of securing clothing
for the most needy among INDECENT
people of the city. In accordance
with arrangements made at meet
Ing Of the promoters of the idea, one
woman has had charge of collecting
clothing from each church congrega
tion in the city. Bundles of clothing
will be taken to the various churches
tomorrow morning, from which they
will be collected by Representatives of
the Red Cross, then turned over to
the Citizens Relief Committee, and
then to Miss Alma G. Widerstrom for
distribution among those who need
wearing apparel most. Cash dona-
tions are being made daily and today
Max Gibian gave four cases of
canned goods to the poor Cash con-
tr1butions during the past few days
aggregated $23, which brought the
total amount subscribed up to
$1,63115.
Indications are that Bundle Day"
will be huge success, as 1t Is be-
lieved by those In charge that it will
well serve the purpose for which 1t
was intended. 1t appears that there
has been an abundance of new and
old clothes, which charitably inclined
persons have been willing to donate
to poor and needy people, but they
saw no means of getting it into the
hands Of the proper person, until
the Bundle Day" idea was decided
upon. Every member of every con-
gregation in the city, as we'll as per-
sons outside of church bodies, have
been asked to participate In the
worthy cause and give such articles
of clothing as they can spare. Bun
dies of clothes donated are to be
taken to the various branch estab-
lishments of the churches, such as
parish houses, chapels, Sunday
school rooms and the like. There it
will become the charge of the local
representatives Of the Red Cross and
they will have 1t placed in the hands
of the charity workers for proper dis
tribution.
There Is a growing need for cloth
ing among the poor and those In
charge OF the work are in hopes that
no persons will overlook the oppor-
tunity and will come forward with
all the clothing that can be spared.
