j| SOUTH IMBOY.' A CONTRAST.

The N. Y. At U B. Ft IF. lias been repairing (ho John at red crossing. It was sometliing that was very much

■ needed, but not more so than the pas- senger station which is filthy and in an unsanitary condition. Why the company leaves such a ramshackle concern an an eye sore to their pat- rons we are unable to say, but tills we will say, that a few days ago as we were in the Kuril an River waiting room some half-dozen i '.dies came in and by their conversation we learned that they wore waiting for a trniii o

the N. Y. At L. B. R. K. They said Ihov could not stand ill the N. Y. Ac b. B. R. R- waiting room, but came in the Raritan River waiting room, where it was comfortable and decent. 1 should think this would shame tlie powers that be to have a small road I like tho Raritan River excel them iu iheir accommodations for their pat- rons.

SOON WAS DISCOURAGED. As reported in yesterday’s NEWS,

William R. Vochringer and Saxbury Wuridell had bought the stock and goodwill of the John street bakery from John Patterson. The necessary papers were drawn up and signed, also a three years’ lease was signed by Michael Welsh, who owns the building, upon which the parties paid one month's rent in advance to Mr. Welsh and Tuesday morning they took possession. How much they paid Mr. Patterson wo did not learn, hut we did learn that Tuesday before 12 o’clock they had become discour- aged and abandoned till the property they had secured and were well on

tlieir way to tho city. What disheart- ened them so quickly we have been unable to learn.

TEACHERS ill. There seems fo bo considerable ill-

ness among the teachers in our public schools. Miss Mercy Hillman was so

111 Tuesday that she was.unable to

meet with her scholars, and Miss Mary Hillman acted as substitute for bur. Miss Mary Buchanan was also ill on Tuesday and Mrs. C. Voorhees substituted for'her.

MOVE WHOLE PLANT HERE. \ The Acme Underwear Company has

Although many of the candi- dates on the list have received only 69 per cent., on their physical exam- ination, they will be allowed to take this examination. This does not mean that if they pass the mental test that they will go on the list. It means that they will be allowed to take advantage of an appeal to the commissioners, for reconsideration of their physical rating, but if a man has received only 69 per cent, in the physical and receives the same mark- ing in the mental, he will be rejected. Notices to appear for the mental torlt are being sent out today.
