FIRE DESTROYS
OLSEN'S AUTO

A five passenger Marion touring
car belonging to Robert Olsen, of
ITO Broad street, Stapleton, the new
proprietor of the Majestic lunch
room at Madison avenue and Smith
street, this city, was destroyed by
fire on the Southside boulevard.
near Guyon avenue, Oakwood, Stat
en- Island, about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Olsen at the wheel
with two friends, Frank Garretson
and Frank O'Rourke, of Stapleton.
at the time were on their way to this
city. They were going along at a
fair rate of speed when the engine
back-fired and set the car afire. The
car was brought to a stop and the
occupants endeavored to entinguish
the blaze with sand
In the meantime an alarm of fire
was turned In and soon the auto fire
engine OF the New York fire depart
ment stationed at Dongan Hills, and
the volunteer companies of New
Dorp, Richmond and Great Kills,
were racing to the scene, but the fire
had gained such headway that it
was entirely consumed before the
firemen arrived on their several
miles run to the boulevard.
The car, which is a total loss, was
a 1913 model and was valued at
VI, 600. 1t was not insured.

FRANCHISE FOR
TROLLEY GIVEN
Jersey Central Traction Will
Run Cars in Keansburg.
Special to the EVENING NEWS


keyport, June 11:-At a meeting
of the Raritan township committee,
held last night in the borough hall,
the Jersey Central Traction Company
was granted fifty-year franchise to
operate a trolley line on Carr ave-
nue. at Keansburg, running between
the main line and the beach This
matter has been pending several
months but the terms appeared un-
satisfactory until last night, when
the franchise was granted according
to the trolley company's terms. Work
Will be commenced at once on the
new line in hopes of having it finish
ed by August first. This new track
should not only prove a big convent
ence to patrons of the trolley line,
but should materially assist in
boosting Keansburg.
Negotiations are now being con-
Quoted between the Jersey Central
Traction Company and President
William Gehlhaus, of the New Point
Comfort Beach Company, to extend
the trolley line out on the pier at
Keansburg, in order to connect with
the Keansburg and New York steam
boats

CITY LIGHTING
PLANT FAVORED

Enlightened by an expert engineer,
Mayor Ferd Garretson and members
of the Board of Aldermen expressed
themselves fayorably concerning the
establishment of a municipal electric
plant in this city last night F. O..
Runyon. of the firm of Runyon &
Carey, of Newark, appeared before
the officials at a special committee
meeting in city hall last night. He
presented facts and figures which
were convincing and the officials gem
orally stated the proposition was a
good one. Alderman F. William
Hilker, backer of the movement, en-
Enthusiastically quizzed Engineer Run
yon at the session last night and was
gratified with the result. He stated
today that efforts would be made to
have the council authorize the engi-
neer to proceed with an investigation
and to prepare An estimate of the
cost incident to the installation of a
plant here. He expected that the
subject would be placed before the
voters of the community at refer
endum vote.
In reply to a query from Mr..
Hilker, Mr.. Runyon said suitable
plant could be constructed here and
complete system with underground
wires in Smith and State streets con-
structed for approximately s125, 200.
Mr.. Hilker said that If the PROPOSE
ton was carried, efforts would be
made to have underground lines in
all principal streets, SO as to do
away with unsightly poles and all
overhead wires, with the exception of
trolley lines Mr.. Runyon said that
for a nominal figure he would can
vas the ground and give accurate
figures. Alderman-at-large w. Guy
Weaver expressed favor over the pro-
posed underground system.
Mr.. Runyon maintained that
municipal electrical plants were
highly successful wherever they were
operated properly. He said there
were thousands of them about the
country and went on to tell how he
proved to opponents and skeptical
persons in Orange that plant would
pay. He asked for authority to con-
duct the plant there for the first
year, TO eliminate politics and all
hire. He claims to have
proved that the plant produced light
for one-half less than the municipal
ity had previously been paying. .
The engineer Was surprised to hear
the amount which this city paid for
current for liaht.

TRAIN IN CRASH
NEAR So. AMR0y
Passengers Escape but Engi-
neer and Fireman Bruised.
Special to the EVENING NEws

South Amboy, June IL
Through means of an open switch,
a Raritan River railroad passenger
train crashed into a locomotive
crane on siding at the Raritan
street bridge, Mechanicsville, yester-
day afternoon. Engineer John Sui
livan and Fireman Patrick Connors
miraculously escaped without seri-
Gus injury, being badly bruised and
shaken up. The passengers were
jolted from their seats, but none of
them was injured. Had the train
not been going up grade, and at a
low rate Of speed, a fatality would
have undoubtedly occurred.
The locomotive crane was oper-
ating on the siding at the Pennsyl-
vania cut, near Raritan street, Me-
chanicsville, where the Raritan Riv-
er Railroad Company Is engaged In
constructing bridge. A laborer
at the approach of the passenger
train was sent to throw the switch,
but evidently forgot his mission. The
train, drawn by locomotive No. g.,
left the main station in South Am
boy about 1890 o'clock and
crashed into the switch, plunging
against the heavy crane with dull
thud.
The crane, while somewhat dent
ed, was not damaged to any extent,
but the locomotive was badly
