sos, 900 of bona fide stock had been actu-
ally subscribed.

propriate and weII-timed remarks, when

| ming, and stated that he would be one of
ten who would take five shares EACH

dred and fifty was taken up by Messrs.
Harry Pursell, T. Macy. Jas. Ely,
L. C, Coffman. NJ. Pavey.-$750.
| Mr.. Ely then stated that upon the new
| assessment there was a condition append
ed, which was to the effect that not a dol
lar was to be paid until the cars on this
line run into this town. He said of the
amount. he had taken it upon himself to
assess this township $1,000 of the 5000
apportioned to the county, and wanted to
know who would take it, when the follow
| ing gentlemen were recorded as the takers
of this portion ef the stock, they taking
$500 worth each: Messrs. Ely, S. n. Yeo-
man, NJ. Pavey, C. E. Brownell. L. c. Coff-

ed was called for. the following was made

: On Monday evening about O'Clock,
a couple of tramps-man and women
stopped at Capt. Updegrove's residence on
East street. and begged for something to
eat. Both were pretty full of whisky, and
the girl refused to admit them; but the
woman pushed past her and went into the
room where Mrs. q. was lying, sick. and
attempted to pull her out of bed She
had a bottle of some kind of liquid which
she threw in Mrs. us face and on her
child. The girl got her out of the house
with a good deal of difficulty. and she and
the man were driven off by some neigh.
bors. They were followed and arrested
shortly afterward, after Capt. Updegrove
had knocked the man down and pounded
him pretty roughly Mayor KOOntz fined
them SO and costs, and imprisoned them
48 hours for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct.
= The alleys of our town are in horri-
bly, dirty and filthy condition. They
ought to be cleaned out and kept clean
and if property owners would grade ant
gravel them, it would be a great improve
ment to our town, and great comfort as
we'll as convenience to the owners of tbs
lots adjoining. Gravel is plenty and the
cost would be small, indeed, in proportion
to advantages such an improvement would
be. It should be done as a sanitary meas
ure, if there were not numerous other con-
siderations demanding the improvement.
