I A COPY READ IN EVERY HOME PASSAIC TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR' MAYOR GREENLIE DEFIED CITY COUNCIL WON'T GIVE MARLEY WORK Mayor Sent a Scorching Message to the City Council Last Night Which Met Sullen Defiance. Work Must Be Given to Marley, Both From Legal and Moral Standpoints, Says the Mayor-Kramer Is Held Up--Main Avenue Asphalt Accepted. Mayor David Greenlie has once more stood up for justice and the rights of the people in the Marley matter, and once more has he been defled by the city council. 1 At the meeting of the municipal fathers last evening Mayor Greenlie sent in message: to the effect that he could not approve of the awarding of the contract for the macadamizing of Aspen street and Columbia avenue to William Ferguson. It: will be remembered that Francis J.

Marley was -the lowest bidder when the work was advertised in March, but the majority of the council would not give the contract to Marley, alleging that he was incompetent, and at the meeting of April 4 the work was given to the Union Building and Construction company, the second lowest bidder, at a figure 20 per cent. higher than Mr. Marley's, Greenlie threw the matter back into the council. Bids were readvertised for, and this time Mr. Ferguson was low, Mr.

Marley not bidding. The contract was awarded to Mr. Ferguson at the meeting of June 20. Following is the text of the message Mayor Geenlie sent to the council last evening: Mayor Greenie's Message. Passaic, N.

On April 18 I called your attention to this Irregularity and recommended that you reconsider your vote and award the contract lowest bidder, who was undoubtedly entitled to the same, having complied with all of the requirements. While you unanimously reconsidered your action, for reasons best -known to a majority of your body, you have failed to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder complying with the conditions of the proposals, as was your plain duty to do under the law, but referred the matter back to the street committee, and some time thereafter re-advertised and ed the contract to another contractor for a much higher price. not only question the propriety of this action but its legality.

GEO. P. RUST, COUNSELLOR-AT-LAW News Building, DAILY PASSAIC, N. TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1904. TO SWAP THE TROLLEY LINES Great Scheme to Change Red and White Routes TRANSFER STATION AT STATE STREET Public Service Corporation Asks Council for Concessions that Would Upset All Trolley Lines Except Newark Route-Streets and Railways Committees Will Investigate- Demand for Two Switches in Passaic Street.

According to the plan of Superintendent Thomas MeAndrews, of the branch division of the Public Service Corporation comprising Passaie, Paterson and the lines of the surrounding country, several important changes are soon to be made that will affect the service in this city. Mr. MeAndrews was at the council committee meetings at the city hall last Friday night, but he was unable to get a hearing, the sessions being sparsely attended. The superintendent has confided to more than one councilman, however, that he wants to run the Passaic and Hackensack cars on a five-minute schedule. With that end in view, the company last night asked the city council for concessions.

What the Company Wants. The trolley wants first what it calls a siding into State street from Passaic street on the southeast corner and wants a similar siding, similarly situated, at Passaic and Second streets. At Second street, however, it desires that the track shall extend down the thoroughfare several feet, so that trolley, parties desiring to make a start from this point may have their cars stationed here. Mr. MeAndrews says that these ings are absolutely necessary, in ord to establish the five-minute beadwas The northbound car can wait for the southbound one at the State street sidingl and back on the main track after the car has passed.

At Second street the order of waiting is reversed. Explained by a man who knows, a LOTS OF MEAT FOR PASSAIC Arrangement Made Between Hammond Co. and Muhs LIVE CATTLE ARE SHIPPED HERE Chicago Concern of Which the Passaio Beef Company Is a Branch Makes Arrangements With Local Packing House Whereby Paterson and saio Will Be Supplied in Spite of the The prospects now are that Passaic, at least, will not lack a supply of meat. There will be plenty of it for a week to come, and probably permanently, regardless of the continuance of the strike. This is all due to an agreement entered into between the Hammond Packing company of Chicago and the Henry Muhs company of this city and Paterson.

The Chicago company agrees to supply enough beef on the hoof and other live stock to the local firm to supply the demands of the markets in this city and Paterson. The live stock is shipped up the Lackawanna railroad to Stoney road, Paterson, where the slaughter house of the Muhs company is situated. Here the meat is dressed and made ready for sale at one of the most thoroughly up-to-date abattoirs in the country. Manager Hicks Griffin, of the Passaic Beef company, could not be seen today, but another employee of the company confirmed the report that it was receiving meat from Mohs at Paterson owing to the recent arrangements. The -first supply came to Passaic yesterday at noon, and its arrival was hailed with welcome, for the supply then was almost exhausted.

Enough meat, the Passaic Beef man sserted, is now on hand to supply the for a week. Prices, however, continue to soar. This is due, the wholesalers say, more to the avarice of the retail dealer than to the source of supply. The general opinion has been to the effect that the retail butcher is making more out of the stories of meat famine than' can be imagined. AGENT AND FLAGMAN HELD FOR THE MIDVALE WRECK Coroner's Jury Accuses Richards and Heller and Warrants, Are Issued For Their Arrest on Charge of Manslaughter "We find that Harry Kranzer came to his death on the 10th day of July, 1904, at Midvale, by reason of a collision of two trains on the Greenwood Lake division of the Erie railroad, caused through the negligence of William T.

Richards, station agent, and Ernest Heller, flagman." This was the verdict of the coroner's jury returned last night after hearing at Paterson the testimony of 50 witnesses at the inquest into the Midvale siding is a switch. One switch at Passaic and State streets and another at Second street would be valuable aequisitions for the trolley company. Committee to Consider Requests. The request for these privileges came before the council last night in the form of a petition signed by President MeCarter. On motion of Mr.

Mulloy the petition was referred to the street committe and the railway committee. Councilman Hammond outlined what, he said, was the company's real scheme. The plan, he said, was to bring the White line Hoboken cars down Main avenue from Paterson, down Passaic street to State and then over the present route, so that the Hoboken cars would follow the old Paterson road all the way to Hoboken, with the exception of the jog around through State street. The Newark cars would be brought a down Main avenue as at present. But the Passaic, Dundee, Garfield, Lodi, Garfield and Hackensack cars are to be brought down from Paterson on the present White line, turning down Passaic street at State street.

Coming back, it is understood that every third car will be sent around to the main depot via the Second and Monroe streets' routes. Red and White Lines to Swap Places. In other words, the old Red and White lines are to change routes. Mr. Hammond said he could not say positively that this was the intention of the Public Service Corporation, but he understood that it was.

He also denounced the scheme on account of the great transfer station that would be created at Passaic and State streets, place entirely too congested, he said. It would be a nuisance for any one getting on a Main avenue car to have to change at street if he wanted to go to Dundee or Garfield. Mulloy Wants Transfers. Mr. said all these matters could be ferreted out by the committee.

He put through a resolution to have the city counsel draw up a contract with the company insuring transfers in case the city grants these privileges. This is the time, if there ever will be a time, said Mr. Mulloy, to get transfers. WHEN IN DOUBT READ THE NEWS Single Copies Twe Cente 35 Cents Month Delivered THEY "SEE "THE COUNCILMEN Mr. Osborn Sprang a Little Sensation Last Evening TO ABOLISH DEATH TRAP.

Rose Wants: Underground Passage Main Depot, Erie Tracka Depressed Through Main avenue and Underground Trolley Service, Railroads, steam and, electric, came in for a pounding at the meeting of the council last night, and, while the Public Service Corporation was under discussion, Mr. Osborn, of the Third ward, sprang a mild sensation. "I tell you," he said, "that if the trolley people want anything they'll get' it, because they see the councilmen." Eyebrows were lifted, and for a moment no one spoke. Then Mr. Lucas was on his.

feet. "Mr. President," he said, "I want to know what Mr. Osborn means. Does he mean bribery? I am surprised to hear any such statement made on the floor of this council chamber." Mr.

Osborn did not reply, Must Abolish Death Trap. Mr. Rose put through a resolution to bring about a conference with the Erie railway to see what that company will do about building an underground passage way from east to westbound platforms at the Main depot. This improvement is demanded, as The News has repeatedly held, to prevent loss of life and limb. The streets and railways committees will look into the matter in conjunction with City Attorney Sullivan.

Wants Erie Tracks Depressed. Mr. Rose's resolution also provided that the committees feel the Erie on the subject of depressing its tracks through Main avenue. This, also, is a consummation devoutly to be wished. The Erie Street Widening.

Mr. Osborn offered a resolution authorizing the city engineer to prepare a map of the proposed 1 widening of Erie street from 40 to 60 feet. Other members thought that this improvement would be chiefly advantageous to the Public Service Corporation, which means double tracks, and that if that company wants it it should prepare the map at its own expense and come to the council with its suggestions and offers. Mr. Osborn's resoluton was filed.

Rose Suggests Underground Trolley. In this connection Mr. Rose pointed out that the franchise of the Main avenue line gives the city the right to demand that, at any time after ten years from the granting of the franchise, the company put in an underground trolley system. This time has now elapsed and Mr. Rose thought the city should look into the matter, as the poles and wires in Main avenue are a nuisance.

A resolution, put through by Mr. Lane, requires and electric roads to repair crossings where thefteam they are out of order. JOHN DE VRIES FOR SCHOOL COMMISSIONER Mayor Greenlie Named Second Street Foundryman to Fill Place of Mr. Lannon, Who Was Expelled. At the meeting of the city council last night Mayor Greenlle sent in the nomination of John De Vries to be school commissioner from the First ward from now until January 1, next, and the nomination was unanimously confirmed.

Mr. De Vries is the Second street foundryman and it is believed he will make an excellent commissioner. Mr. De Vries succeeds Commissioner John J. Lannon, who was expelled from the board of education for nonattendance at the meeting of that board on July 5.

Mr. Lannon's term would not have expired until January 1, 1906. Hit by Lightning, Yet Lives. Joseph Nicholas, an Trie night watchman at the Edgewater docks, south of the Fort Lee ferry, is one of a very few who have survived after being struck by a bolt of lightning. He was struck on Sunday night and his right side seems to be entirely paralyzed.

His pet dog was killed by the same bolt. The attending physician says the man is in a critical condition. Money to loan on bond and mortgage. m12-tf GEORGE P. RUST.

"A delightful and perfect trip in every detail," is the verdict of Miss Stephens and Miss Van Nostrand of The News', World's Fair party, who have returned from St. Louis. Miss Birdsall and Miss Clement, the two other members of the party, have taken advantage of the 15 day tickets furnished each member of the party and have stopped over en route.

The News spared no effort or expense to make the trip safe and enjoyable. for Its guests and it is most gratifying to The News, as it surely will be to the many friends of the teachers who worked so splendidly for their success to read these words of appreciation from Miss Stephens and Miss Van Nostrand.

"Word having been previously sent to see that these four important ladies receive every attention, I can assure you this was done to the letter.

Upon reaching Niagara, America's wonder, nothing was left unseen- Canadian and American side, rapids, whirpool, etc. The building of the Great Gorge railroad is a marvelous work, one of the greatest attractions at Niagara Falls. "Leaving Niagara after a substantial breakfast and dinner at the International hotel, we continued our journey to St. Louis, the center of attraction, arriving at the exposition Friday, July 8. our stay at St.

Louis, we were entertained at the Inside Inn, the only hotel inside the grounds. One of the advantages of being located at this inn is that there is no loss of time and energy of going to and from the grounds. Aside from this the house is very commodious, with a capacity for 5,500 people. Every attention is given to its guests. The culsine is excellent, and all that could be desired.

"What we saw at the fair cannot be told at this writing. In fact, it would be easier to state what was not seen. The magnitude of the affair is beyond description. "Having spent six very enjoyable days at the exposition we left for home Wednesday, July 13, in a special Pullman, stopping at Chicago, where carriages were in readiness, and we were driven through the parks for several hours.

COMMISSION IS NOT YET APPOINTED BOUND TO BEAT THE COMBINE City Will Make It Hot For the Coal Dealers THE COUNCIL REJECTS BIDS. Will Follow Board of Education's ample- -President Streckfuss Suggests that River Navigation Is Free and Coal Might Be Brought Up on Barges Passaic's coal combine has made its appearance in city affairs again. At a recent meeting of board of education it was found that the seven bidderso the winter's supply of coal sent in identical figures, even using manifold copies of one bid. The board rejected all bids and referred the matter back to the committee with instructions to readvertise for bids, soliciting them from outside the city if that were found necessary. The matter will come up again at an adjourned meeting of the school board to be held next Thursday evening.

When the councilmanic committee on public buildings and parks opened bids for coal it found the same state of things, and recommended to the council last night that all bids be rejected. This was done. "When it comes to such a pass as this it is time to advertise for bids out of town," said Mr. Coman. "There is evidently a combine in this city to keep up prices," said Mr.

Rose. Mr. Schleich said he knew there was. "They can give us coal cheaper if they want to," he said. a little while ago dealer sold me coal at a price cheaper than the combine insists on.

But he told he I mustn't give him away, for, if I did, he couldn't get any more coal." President Streckfuss said river navigation was free to all, and perhaps the city might have a couple of barge loads of coal sent up from New York that way. Councilman Mulloy, who is manager of the Citizens' Coal and Supply company, sat smiling while the debate was in progress and when the vote was taken on the proposition to reject all the bids he cheerfully, voted; "Aye." Died in Hospital, Minechello Marrazo, a barber, of Main avenue and Onk street, died today in Columbia hospital, New York city, after having undergone an operation for appendicitis.

Refuses to Sanction Purchase of a New Second Class. Engine Other Fire Matters. Howe Engine company will not get its new engine -at least, not yet. At the meeting of the city council last night Mr. Mulloy offered a resolution to the effect that bids be advertised for a new second-class engine for Howe company.

A' motion to lay the on the table was defeated by a 5 matter, to 5, and then a motion to advertise for hids was lost by the same vote. There is some talk of transferring MeLean Engine company to the Fourth ward, and it is thought that this may obviate the necessity of a new apparatus for the Howes. Mr. Lucas put through a resolution to sell McLean's present house at the best possible terms. Mr.

Henderson got permission to advertise for bids for a new hose drier for Engine -One and Mr. Coman to repair and decorate the quarters of Engine One and Truck One. CARVED THEIR NAMES AS BOYS ON SPRING TANK Rudely Cut Letters, the Work of saic Boys of the Last Generation May Be Seen Today. A visitor to the old spring tank in Garfield, which has for years supplied the water to the engines used on the railroad, says that the wooden sides of the tank are a veritable Rosetta stone carved with the initials and names of boys, many of whom are now grown to manhood and numbered among Passaic's most prominent citizens. Time has not yet effaced the knife carvings of many years ago, though the artists have, in most instances, forgotten the old tank, which, in those days, was a favorite haunt for the Passaic youths.

The names of many prominent men were mentioned by the visitor to the tank, but they are too numerous to repeat. Any one who is curious to know ought to be willing to brave the sun and walk to the spot. -There is much talk going the rounds of the wonderful increase in the population of the city of Passaic. The population was increased by one at church time last Sunday morning, when a young daughter arrived at the home of Policeman and Mrs. John Parcells, of Highland avenue.

Mrs. Miss Parcells are doing nicely, Judge Pitney Still Considering Qualifications of Men to levestigate Freeholders LYONS TO BE HANGED AUGUST the circumstances, for the council to dieregard, the and bid well of a equipped contractor to comply SO with every condition imposed by the city, would, in my judgment, subject the city to an action at law, besides bethe very height of injustice. Feeling thus, after a careful and unprejudiced consideration of the whole matter, I am constrained to inform your honorable body that I can not, as your executive officer, approve the reing of the contract or sign any warrants in payment thereof. Feeling that you are interested in this matter, only as public officers looking to the city's good, I again request that. you reconsider your action and award the contract in question to Francis J.

who is certainly legally and, morally entitled same. Respectfully submitted, DAVID GREENI TE, Mayor. The Mayor Again Defied. When City Clerk Watson had finished reading the mayor's message, Councilman Rose, of the Third ward, "I move that the mayor's communication be received and that his recommendation adopted." "I second, Mr. Rose's motion," added Mr.

Henderson, also of the Third ward. The Recalcitrant Majority, Without any debate Mr. Rose's resolution was put and lost by the following vote: Ayes- Rose, Henderson, Schleich-4. Nays Lane, Coman, Hammond, Lucas, Mulloy, Streckfuss-6. Absent- King, Spitz-3.

Improvement Again Tied Up. This ties up 1 the Aspen street and Columbia avenue macadam improvement once more. The council took no further action, and it looks as though the present deadlock between the mayor and the council will not be broken- by Mr. Marley himself. It has been rumored on several occasions that Mr.

Marley would carry the matter to the courts, more to vindtcate his reputation as a contractor than to get the job for the little there is in it, but nothing definite been heard from him on the subject. Philip Kramer Held Up. The city council held up a partial payment due Philip Kramer for the macadamizing of street. Messrs. Rose and Schleich denounced this action, Mr.

Rose especially declaring. that it showed partiality. He said the Union Building and Construetion company's payments are never held up. Engineer Wise was called. on the floor.

He stated that Kramer had been backward in his work, the flood of last fall making it impossible for him to get through with the job before the winter season, but he could see no reason why his payment should be held up. Still the council held it up. Main Avenue Asphalt Accepted. The final payment was ordered made to the Barber Asphalt company for the Main avenue payment, the sum being $842.26. Mr.

Rose attention the fact that water collects at the foot of Pennington avenue in such a manner as to be a nuisance. City Engineer Wise said that the asphalt had been ironed out at that point as much as possible to do so, but the dead- level grade the street made it impossible to remedy the defect. Accordingly the street was accepted. CONFESSES HIS CRIME. But De Maio Claims He Acted in Self Defense.

John De Maio, who killed Pasquale Vergilis in a saloon fight in Paterson early yesterday morning, gave himself map and was brought back to Paterson from Midvale late last night. De Maio was wounded himself and spent a day of agony in the near woods Wanaque. After debating in his own mind whether it would: be better to kill himself or to go to jail, he finally decided ed to surrender. He pleaded not guilty this morning to the charge of murder, claiming that he killed Vergilis in selfdefence. was remanded to jail for trial.

Warrants were issued last night for the arrest of Richards and Heller, on charges of manslaughter. When the next grand jury meets, in September, it will make an investigation on its: own account, and it is believed that others besides Richards' and Heller will be indicted. Testimony of Heller. Heller, who was the rear flagman on the special excursion train, two cars of which were telescoped by the engine of a regular train, admitted on the witness stand that the special had stopped five minutes at the water tank before he reached the station, 400 feet east, to give the signal to the approaching train. He could not explain why it took him so long to walk back to the station.

Continuing, he said: noticed the regular train as it came over the Pequannock bridge. Then flagged it. I noticed that the signal was set for safety, a8 the arm on the signal pole hung at an angle of about 45 William T. Richards, the station agent and operator, took the witness stand, despite the advice of his counsel, W. Carrington Cabell.

He said he was anxious to tell his story, as he believed when it was heard he would not be held responsible for the disaster. Signal Was Out of Order. Richards testified that he had set the signal for danger, but he knew the signal was out of order and had so reported to the Erie officials two months ago. An attempt was made to remedy the defect, but- little or no improvement was made. On cross-examination Richards admitted that the arm on the signal pole was partly down, and that it might be construed by the engineer of an approaching train either for safety or danger.

Conductor Vanderhoof, of the special excursion train, told the jury that he had instructed his flagman, as soon as the train stopped at the water tank, to go back and flag the regular, which he knew was coming. Vanderhoof then made his way to the front of the train and he did not again see the fagman: until after the crash cane. Charles E. Landmasser, the engineer of the forward engine of the regular train, testified that he was positive the arm on the signal pole was down at an angle of at least 45 degrees when he came in view of it. He thought it meant clear.

He did not see the flagman until he reached the signal pole, and at the same time he saw the special standing at the water tank. He did all he could (Continued on Fifth Page.)

Judge Pitney sat in his court Paterson today and had a busy morning. Commissioners Not Yet Appointed. In the matter of the appointment of commissioners to conduct the investi4 gation into the affairs of the board of Freeholders, Judge Pitney Informed Lawyer J.

W. De Yoe, counsel for the taxpayers and County Counsel Harry, Meyers that he was not yet ready to announce the commissioners. He laid the matter over for one week. However, as. the Messrs.

De Yoe and Meyers were to leave the court room Judge Pitney called them back and said that he would make the 8p- pointments within the week at his home in Morristown, and that he would send word to counsel of his selections. It is still stated that the commissioners are to be Lawyer John W. Harding, of the Arm Pot Griggs, Dill Harding, and George E. Peterson, 8D expert accountant in Paterson. It is conceded that if Judge Pitney makes these appointments no one can find any fault.

Lyons to Be Hanged August 4. The court heard argument for a new trial for John Lyons, convicted of murder in the first degree. At the close of the evidence presented by the murderer's counsel, John M. Ward, Judge Pitney said that it was weak, and that he had no ground upon which to grant a new trial. Lyons was then ordered to stand up and Judge Pitney sentenced him to be hanged on August 4 next between the hours of eight a.

m. and two p. m. This will be Sheriff Bergen's first execution and the first execution in Passale county for many years. Lyons committed a burglary and killed a watchman named John Christian in Paterson in July, 1900.

His case was carried to the court of errors and appeals, which refused to Interfere. Lawyer Ward asked for a new trial on the ground of new evidence. Bail for Robert Plum. Senator McKee's argument that Robert Plum be admitted to bail was again taken up, Judge Pitney announced, at the conclusion of the argument, that he could see no reason why Plum should be admitted to ball. Plum shot and killed John Mead after quarrel, the shooting occurring in a disorderly house in River street, Paterson.
