WEATHER VANE CAUSED LARGE CLOCK AT MATAWaN TO STOP Matawan, Feb. J 2.—Ever since the']

beginning of the cold w eather, and in j fact since the beginning of the winter, great difficulty has been experienced by the official board of the First Metli- odlst church in keeping the town I

,

c.loçk in the steeple of the church run- j, ning. I-^or days at a time the clock has remained silent, not even the hands moving much ■ to the annoy- ance of the official board of the church and to the disappointment of the townspeople, although those taking care of the clock did everything they, could to keep it running. A few days ago the board decided

not to put up with the annoyance any longer and sent to the Howard Clock |

Company who installed the time- piece to have them send a man to j repair the machinery of the clock. The man arrived Thursday and after going over the time-piece very thoroughly found that the trouble was caused by the weather vane on the top of the

steeple. It seems that the vane is

placed on an iron rod which runs from the roof of the belfry to the top of the steeple and that the roof of the steeple does not close tightly around the rod. I

MAIAWAN GETS NEW

Wickham Piano Plate Co., of

Springfield, Ohio, purchases Plant of the Matawan Steel

and Iron Co.

Special to the EVE KINO NEWS.

Matawan, Feb. 12—Announcement has been made that the Wickham Piano Plate Company of Springfield, Ohio, has purchased the plant of the Matawan Steel & Iron Company in Church street. The deal was closed last Tuesday by the Wickham repre- sentatives, Henry Wickham and Mr. Welchhans. The amount paid for the plant could not be learned, although it is known to be a goodly sum. The new concern took charge of the plant as soon as the deal was closed and it is said that both Mr. Wickham and Mr. Welchhans will make their homes in Matawan. The Matawan Steel & Iron Com-

pany located in Matawan in the year 1901 and occupied the building known as the Antisell Piano Factory now oc-

cupied by the Munnlng-Loeb Com- | pany for the manufacture of buffs and other polishing material. Wnen

t the Matawan Steel & Iron Company took charge of the plant, they made a five year lease with the Antisell peo-

i pie at the end of which time they pur- à chased a tract of land across the

feUfeet from the Antisell factory and built a new plant, whic

are occupylr^, U|LJ mQV|

t the present m

from the time the I'lnnl 11 11 in" Mata-

wa^ IHalTy similar plants have failed ■.JLLd gone out of business, but the .Matawan concern has weathered all

1 the storms and has always been suc- cessful from the first. The plant was

under the general management of j former. Mayor Sidney Bruce Eggles- j ton, and the foundry department un- I der the management of Harry Bolte.

To these two popular citizens of this borough the Matawan Steel & Iron

j Company of the present time owes

I its success. The Matawan Steel & Iron Com-

i pany has been a great thing for Mat-

i awan and vicinity as it employed about 100 hands and since the be-

1

ginning of the plant here in 1901 has

paid out over $1,000.000 for labor. It is rumored about the town that J

J the new owners, who are the largest .

piano plate manufacturers in the '

United States, will make a great many improvements in the present plant, building new buildings and generally enlarging the present plant, althouga these rumors could not be confirmed by the NEWS correspondent, it ia known that a concrete foundry build- ing is to be built as soon as the weather permits, the base for same having been started some months ag<J by a local contractor.

Mr. Bolte will remain with the new concern for the present, and Mr. Eg# gleston when seen by the NEWS cor« respondent refused to say what he might do in the future but it is knowxt that both Mr. Bolte and Mr. Eggles* ton will still continue to make Mat* awan their homes.
