REFUND SALE
DREW CROWDS
INTO THE CITY

Albert Leon, when seen this morn
ing, was enthusiastic about the sue
cess of the fare-refunding sale. His
records show that neves before in
any one day had he as many out-of-
town orders as on Saturday. People
came from South Amboy, Sayreville,
South River, Keyport, Matawan,
Marlboro, Freehold, Railway, Port
Reading, Chrome and from all parts
of Staten Island. ut shows what
united effort advertising honest mer-
chandise at low price and the great
facilities of delivery to outside points
will do he said.
Mr.. Hechheimer, of The Globe,
said, "The fare-refunding sale Satur-
day was very satisfactory. We had
customers from as far as Roebling,
N. j., and st. George, s. l."
Louis Pavlovsky, of Pavlovsky
Bros, said: I'VE had about 100
more customers than we usually
have on Saturday and we are glad to
say that business was very good"
j. H. Foster said: 1T was one of
the largest Saturdays we've had this
year, and I'm well pleased with the
plan"
Mr.. Shumsky, of the City Market,
said; Business was splendid Satur-
day and we intend to continue giving
good bargains all week to the home
and out-of-town shoppers.
Arthur Stern, of Stern & Co, said :
" We found Saturday to be one of the
busiest days we've had during the last
four months, and about two-thirds of
the business came from the surrounding
towns. We think the increase was
caused by the fare refunding sale. We
found it necessary to put an extra
truck on for Saturday deliveries Ere
neau, South River, West Long Branch,
Great Kills, st. George and Railway
we're well represented by our out of
aaown customers: One large sale was
made to a man from New York city al
so. 1t was an order that the big New
York department stores will be sorry to
lose, too. We are in great favor of the
cooperative fare refunding sale and
think it should be used permanently.
We hove made great preparations for
special bargains for the remainder of
the sale, and we anticipate big results. -
T. G. Moore said: We had many new
out-of town customers aud look for a
good increase in business all this
week.
G. f. Reynolds, of Reynolds Bros,
said; "The cooperative sale was a pro
nounced success for us Saturday. Our
business showed big increase over the
same day of last year. In our suit de-
partment alone the sale Saturday was
many times greater than last year on
the same day.
A, Siskind, Of The Fair, said 6 Busi
ness was exceptionally good Saturday.
+. w. McClung, of the United Chem
lists Co., said "We had one of the best
Saturdays we We ever had in the his
tory of our store. y
Mr., Sheehy, of Cannon & Sheehy,
said: Business was better than the
previous week"

Everybody happy!

Everybody happy!
That seems the general opin-
express the general opinion regard
ion, regarding the cooperative fare
refunding sale which the merchants
of this city started Saturday and are
continuing throughout the week,
including the coming Satur-
day. 1t has been a long
time since our business streets had
such crowds and everybody was car
rying bundles. The stores were fill
ed and clerks were kept so busy that
closing time came before they had
had time to even think about It.
One of the most noticeable feat
ures was the large number of stran-
gers In the throng. Faces that were
entirely unfamiliar to the merchants
lined the counters and presented
their slips to have fares refunded
These people came from all this Sec
tlon of the state and some sales were
made to persons coming from as far
away as Arlington in Hudson county,
and one merchant even sold a large
order to a man living in the Man
haitian section OF. New York city.
The first train to arrive from
Hightstown Saturday morning
brought such an unusually large
crowd from Cranbury, Jamesburg,
Spotswood, Old Bridge and vicinity
that the conductor in charge asked
one of the passengers if it was Salt
Water Day in Amboy. He could
account for the crowd of passengers
lines report doing a big days busi-
ness, traffic being unusually heavy.
1t was a great day for the Perth
Amboy business men. The volume
of business done and the great ex-
tent Of the territory represented was
cause of surprise and delight. L
was not SO much the particular sale
made, as one merchant expressed it,
as 1t was the opportunity of making
so many new customers. The people
without exception, were pleased and
had only praise for our stores, which
were declared to be most attractive
The bargains, too, were all that were
claimed for them, and the best of 1t
is, they Will be continued throughout
the week. This sale promises to be
of the most lasting benefit of the
business interests Of Perth Amboy.
But the business men themselves
are the best witnesses as to the ben
efits of the sale. A number of them
were seen this morning and, without
exception they all told of doing an
increased business, especially with
out of town customers.
Up until 8 o'clock Saturday night
the NEWS had refunded more than
fifty fares both ways to purchasers.
A number Of shoppers Vho made
their purchases after O'Clock Sat
urday night still hold their refund
slips and will have them cashed at
the NEWS office this week The
NEWS Office will be open between
and o'clock every evening during
the sale to return fares.

MAN IS KILLED BY
CENTRAL TRAIN
IN SOUTH AMb0Y
specia, &c the EVENING NEWS.


South Amboy, Oct. 26:-Struck
senger flier, John Mccarthy, forty
years old, with no definite trade, was
thrown and dragged thirty feet by
the pilot of the engine and killed
about 1880 o'clock Saturday night.
The mans scalp was nearly torn of, \
his neck and several ribs broken, his
right leg fractured, and his face
mangled and confused. The body
was found in gully about thirty
feet from the Augusta street cross
ing. where the victim was struck.
Patrolman Gleason notified Under
taker j. J. Scully, who held the body
to be viewed by Coroner Morgan, OF
South River, who gave permit for
its burial. Mccarthy had been about
this place for the past two or three
years, though he was not a native OF
this city. He is said to have rela-
tives in New York, who Undertaken
Scully is trying to locate. He did
odd jobs and drove stage for
Patrick Fallon recently.
Though the coroner was unable
to find an eye witness to the tragedy,
it is thought that Mccarthy was on
his way to Broadway from lower
Augusta street, and was in the act
of crossing TIE railroad at the cross
ing when the big locomotive on it's
way from Jersey City bounded down
on him. He was scooped up by the
pilot and pitched forward. caught
again and then dragged and slid into
gulley alongside the tracks, it is
believed.
Mccarthy, it is understood. was
unmarried. Some time ago he was
in a trolley accident in which he
escaped with a few bruises and VIII

THE NATION MOURNS.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of Pres
iden Wilson, passed away in Washing
ton Thursday after an illness of some
weeks. Her death resulted from an
aggravation of an old complaint by
overexertion in the manifold duties
she had to perform as the first lady OF
the land combined with the charitable
and reform work she carried on. Mrs
Wilson was a bright and cultured wo-
man of great assistance to the Presi-
dent in his arduous duties. The ma
ton mourns her loss, and there is
nothing but deep sympathy expressed
for the President in his affection. He
has lost an exceptional wife, his chill
dren a devoted mother and the coun-
try thoroughly good and homelike
woman.

WHAT WILL WAR DO?

The great war is on i'll Europe and
there is general mixup of all nations
Germany and Austria have taken on
job they cannot complete; that is to
whip Russia, France, England, Servia
and some other little countries, in fact
the balance of the world outside OF the
world outside of the United States
and South America. SO far Germany
has been the loser in numbers OF men
and ships and we do not see how she
can be a winner in this great contest
for supremacy After it is all over
she will probably not be so powerful
a nation as she once was.
The effect the war will have on
the United States is what interests
Americans. There are bumper crops
in this country and it will mean good
prices for them if the war continues
for any length of time, which will be
fortunate for the producer, as without
the war these large crops would have
made lower prices for foodsuffs. On
the other hand, stocks, bonds and Sc
curities have tumbled. Silver has
fallen to 40 cents an ounce and this
will affect every silver producing
mine in the country What interests
us more particularly in his district
is the copper situation. The Mason
Valley smelter is only paying 8 cents
for copper at the present time. Mr..
Aldrich President of the company,
who was here this week says the
smelter will not close down as long
as it can get ore to run on. Other
mines and smelters have closed down
in different parts of the west, and it
remains to be seen whether the Mason
Valley Co. can get ore enough at the
present price of copper to keep its
furnaces running 1t will take high
grade ore to give the miner any mar
gin on Scent copper We are all hop
ing for the best but it will surprise no
one if every smelter and copper mine
in Nevada ceases operations soon un
til the war is over. Let us hope the
war will soon end.

ABOUT OUR ROADS.

In conversation this week with
tourist who is looking over this sec
ton of Nevada Times reporter asked
the stranger why it was that SO few
auto travellers came this way. HIS
reply was that the tip had been gwen
all over the country that the roads OF
Lyon county and Mineral county were
to be avoided on account OF their
wretched condition. This is certainly
a bad reputation for these counties to
have. The stranger informed us that
on the other side of the Sierras he left
90 odd auto parties, headed mainly tor
the Bridgeport and Bodie country,
and they were going by way OF Gard
nerville, Holbrook, Blackburn's and
Bridgeport, as the report has gone
abroad that the roads that way are in
good condition If Lyon county, es
pecially Mason Valley, had the repu-
tation of having good roads there
would be several hundred auto tour
lists passing through the valley every
year AS it is only stray tourist
drops in occasionally. Yet, we have
men in our midst who are raising con
siderable of hue and cry about the
money spent for Improvement on
roads and they are straining every
nerve to prevent further expenditures
along these lines. Their cry is that
the taxes are too high Some of the
candidates for office Qegislative) own
autos and drive over the valley roads
south of Yerington would cause them
some trouble to get through the mud
caused by uncared for and overflow
ing bitches. A trip to Wabuska would
demonstrate the fact that the mud in
front of the Warren ranch makes the
road almost impossible In fact the
roads, generally, all over the valley
are in very poor condition. Don't
you think, Mr. LowTax advocate, that
it would be better to have public inn
provements, such as god roads, than
to have nothing and all progress at
standstill? 1t is we'll enough to have
taxes in any county as low as posi-
BILE and consistent with general ad
vancement There is no doubt that
there are leaks in the treasury where
considerable money gets away that
does the taxpayer no good but the
right kind of a Legislature could rem
edy all this. But to cut your revenue
down to a point where no expendi-
lures can be made for roads would be
a very short-sighted policy. Look at
the roads leading into Yerington, look
at the streets in our city, the roads
around Nordyke, and in both ends of
the valley and see if you don't think
they need something done to them.
How much of the money does the man
who pays the taxes cause the county
to expend in repairing the road that
this same taxpayer has damaged by
allowing his ditch to overflow that
same road? Too much money is paid
out for repairing the damage caused
by the carelessness of the man who is
paying the taxes. There is a penalty
for such carelessness and the officers
should see that those who cause such
expenditures are brought to time and
made to pay the penalty. This might
help some in keeping our roads in
better repair.

Fighting Hog Chclcra.

While the matter of fighting the
disease of hog cholera successfully is
a matter largely of cleaner and more
sanitary hog houses and hog yards,
and OF larger use OF pastures and for
age crops during the growing season,
the presence OF the disease germs gen
orally through the hog producing sec
tons, requires also that we must ex-
ercise care also along ether lines.
