Mr.. Cartwright, who is said to have
been a bachelor, had been a famil-
lar one on the streets of this place.
Whenever in the past six or more
years he was seen the little fox ter
rier would be ct his heels. When
anyone touched the dogs master

past forty years Mr.. Cartwright,
who was seventy-four years old, had

He was engaged in truck farming,
and doing such work for the resid-
ents. He Is said to have no sur
vivors unless in England, from
which place he came here forty
years ago. He was we'll educated,
but seemed to prefer the life of a
hermit, and would sit, read and
muse with his faithful dog on his
lap alone in the old Bradford house
in Amboy avenue, where he has
made his home the past few years.
His death was caused by the in
firmities of old age and comph-
cation of diseases.

Aldermen at It's committee meeting

IRA R. GROUSE
LOWEST BIDDER
School Contract Will Probably
Be Awarded in Few Days.

At an adjourned meeting of the
Board of Education held last night
1t was found after tabulation of the
estimates submitted for the construc-
tion of the annex to school No. 4 j.,
that Ira r. Grouse was the lowest
bidder by a small margin, and the
contract will probably be awarded to
him shortly, the School Board of
Estimate having sanctioned an ap-
preparation for $115,000 last night,
the amount including both addition
to No. school and the erection of
the building in the Budapest section.
Mr.. Crouse's estimate was $47,971
on the general specifications, al
though the tabulation of propositions
for several alternates necessitated
much consideration. The nearest
competitor was Smith & Ostergaard
Company, their general estimate be-
ing s4S,475 for the erection of the
annex.

City Will Aid in MaCadamizing
Boundary Road.

Water street sidewalks must be
brought down to the established
grade and immediate action will
probably be taken to macadamize the
road at the city's westerly boundary
line, according to action taken by
members of the Board of Aldermen
at their committee meeting last
night. They discussed these subjects
together with the desirability Of in
stalling q municipal electrical plant
here, and talked on other matters,
which may be brought up at the reg
ular meeting Monday night.
1t is the intention of the board
to serve notice on Water street pro-
erty owners to cut the sidewalks
down to the proper grade. No lee
way will be granted, aldermen say,
and declare that if some owners find
1t necessary to constuct retaining
walls, such a course must be pursued.
Action viii probably be taken at the
regular meeting to have the court
appoint commissioners of assessment
for the Water street pavement.
The aldermen received legal
opinion last night to the effect that
they could work in conjunction with
Woodbridge Township officials in the
macadamizing of the boundary road
from the Amboy-Metuchen road to
Kinsey's corner. They also were
given to understand that property
owners would have to pay a part of
the cost, as in the case of paving
streets within the city, which would
bring the cost to the city down con-
siderably. An estimate that the work
could be done for $4,000 or less,
was given to the aldermen and they
were informed that the cost might
be brought very low by using broken
tile instead of crushed stone for
work. A formal report on
this subject is expected Monday
night.

Massopust Brothers intend to

recently purchased by them from

Perth Amboy another up-to-date

man of the street committee, he ad-
vocated the keeping of old street

he was instrumental in procuring the
combination spTinkling and sweeping
apparatus now in use.
His idea of early morning work
before traffic becomes heavy is to be
carried out, it seems. Two or posi-
bly, three combination cleaning appa-
ratuses are to be added. Following a
discussion last night, which at one
iuncture grew warm, the aldermen
practically decided to try the white
wing scheme.
1t is understood that Alderman
John j. Clark introduced the subject
last night. His ideas were not en-
tirely in accordance with those of
some of the other members, it seems,
and this, 1t is declared, lead to a
tilt between him and Alderman-at-

Torreon Is Heaped High with

Chihuahua, April 4:-General
villa has left Torreon at the head of
large body of troops for San Piedro
to join General Hernandez in an at
tack on the forces of General
Velasco, entrenched in the hills. ac-
cording 10 message received today.
Velasco is completely surrounded and
Hernandez reported he could capture
him, but Villa wanted to make the
capture a certainty. Hernandez en-
gagged Velasco shortly after midnight
Friday morning, and followed him so
closely that the fleeing rebels were
taken completely by surprise. In a
preliminary fight 107 federals were
killed and 153 captured.
There has been nothing in the dis
patches received here to indicate the
number of men in Velasco's party.
1t is thought they number about
three or four thousand, and Judging
by the large force sent out by Villa
this is probably true. In order to
prevent the federals reaching Saltillo
to strengthen the garrison there
Villa hopes to annihilate the force.

Metuchen, April 4:-"When 4 / die

led with me-" reads a clause, it is
alleged, in the will of Henry Cart
wright, who died here Thursday
morning. According to the request
of the deceased, who left only the
dog to bemoan him as far as resi-
dents here know, the dog has been
killed, and it is believed its body
now rests in the casket with his
master. The animal, which was a
small fox terrier, is said to have
been chloroformed. Though Under
taker Petit acknowledges the dog
was killed, he denies that 1t was
buried with the man. However, 1t
is generally believed that the re-
quest of Cartwright was observed
and that the body of the man and
the dog that had teen his most
faithful friend for years, both to-
gether lie in one casket. The fu-
neral was held and the burial made
here yesterday afternoon.

 PHOTOCR APHER
 FROM MANIAC LII. Corbit, By Clever Ruse, ThWarts Scheme of Mad man Demanding Money VISITOR FAMILIAR WITH MANY MURDERS Corbit Recognizes Him As Resident of Newtown
 His Life Threatened

Lewis H- .Corbit. the photographe-s was the victim of a thrilling exper- fence in his studio sNt 1152 Main street Hast night, when %alone and in the he was held up and escaped bodily harm only by his promise to pay $700 EearIy this morning.
 Although during the night he was offered a police guard at his hoIne, he was greatly relieved this morning when his visitor did not appear at the appointed place and now he feels that he will not again be bothered, though he undoubtedly will accept a police permit to carry arms.
 Corbit was in his studio alone last night when a man whom he recog- nizes as a resident of a section bor- dering on NewtoWn, came into the of flee. After a few minutes talk, in which the conversation carried on by the visitor was not coherent, his att titude became threatening and he f. nally asked for some money.
 Thinking that he merely wanted a small loan Corbit asked him how much he would like and was surprised when the figure approximated $1,o00. Iaughingly, the photographer told his Eimpecunious caller that such a sum was absurd and the amount was final 1y reduced to $70N.
 The man intimated that he was in
 
 that men had been killed for less money than that and furthernore he was prepared to kill him unless the money was at once forthcoming. Corr bit protested and the visitor whose de- meanor. now was clearly of the des- perate hold-up or insane kind pro- duced clippings of papers in which the murder of the shoemaker at Newtown and another double murder were de- tailed. To the astonishment of Cor far with the facts and told him that such would be his end if he did not at once produce the money
 Corbit was compelled to convince him that such an amount as demanded could not be obtained until the open ing of the banks today and the visitor finally consented to withdraw upon the agreement of Corbtt to meet him at an appointed place today.
 Though the matter was at once re- ported to the police and it was ad- vised that he meet the man with a guard of detectives today. MT. Corbit feared the consequences, realizing that the man would not step into such a trap. The protection of the police last night, however, was granted
 As the unwelcome visitor did not ap- pear again today, it is believed that Sthe hold-up was the effect of a dis ordered brain, though both the local and state police are today searching for him with a view to ascertaining just how much actual knowledge he has of the Newtown and other nnur- der.
