II seems TO mo that in these DAYS of
strong prohibition among tho most civi-
lised and populous of our western States
and the noar approach OF our own cleo
ton, that it would b Just and proper ON
the part Of tho friends Of temperance In
this Territory 70 aRitate the question Of
local option and prohibition.
No doubt, rs you suggested in your
paper last week, but that in theDnear fu-
ture the balance Of power between the
two great political parties will BE- held
BY tho temperance people, and am in
favor Of having tho subject before the
people Of this Territory.
Men should be chosen to the Council
and House who would at least give us 4
local option law. Il has always appear
I'd wrong that ono or two persons should
force on to q community liquor bust
ness whom largo majority are against
II; but % il 10 in this CASE, and the old
Law OF this and all countries, s.let the
majority rule" il reversed and the ma
lority are Get at naught. u in not RIGHT
nor just, nor can it last, and hopc az
the coming election both parties viii use
wisdom in selecting men good and true.
who will represent them with honor and
viii favor local option, that thoae looali-
tieo which do mot desire such q morale n
element in their midst may % chooee.

IL
Times are very quiet in this place
now, and il you wish to know the reason
It is because tho farmers are busy
threshing and harvesting their crops,
aud have forced all available men into
the work from this place, leaving only
the two store keepers and the saloon
keeper. They, too, might just as we'll
20 out and he earning an honest penny
as to stop where they are.
Several farmers have already threshed
and their highest expectations have
been realized. Crops are averaging
much better than for years, with the
exception Of the potato crop, which
though good is not mp to the average in
acres or yield. But very little hay now
remains in first hands, having been
bought up from all directions.
John w. Gillespie started his new Us.
Case "Agitator" threshing machine last
week, and it proves y perfect success,
threAhing wheat ~ clean as il it came
from tanning mill. 1t is probably the
hest thrsshing machine ever ON the
Island, and no doubt will give good
account of itself before the season is
over. Mr.. John p. Engle will soon start
his steam thresher. and then there will
be lively times among the farmers for a
few weeks, who will be sure to get woke
up once in the year.
Mr.. Alexander's new building is a.
Stunning conspicuous position in front
Of the old Union Store. Mr.. Leach in

of Philadelphia. widow of the late Presi-
dent of the Knickerbocker Ice Company
In the years preceding the death OF tho
great ice man he and his wife occupied a
Cape May cottage and Mr.. lIildrcth was
their near neighbor. When Mr. Cahill
died in 1878, he left half million dollars,
half to thirteen Catholic institutions, and
half to his widow. In March, 1881, ac-
cording to the papers in the case, Hildreth
began to pay his addresses to Mrs. Cahill,
and on June 10Th Of that year he proposed
for her hand at Atlantic City. and she
said yes. Then he asked her to name the
happy day, but this she coyly declined.
She did accept an engagement ring, how

be performed at Toms River. When that
day came Mrs. Cahill asked postpone

RAILROAD 1MPROyEMENTs.-.1 Nesc
Passenger Depot for Trenton. During
the year about to close the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has expended over
$1,000, 600 in improvements on its New
York division. This was principally spent
IN the laying of the new tracks, making
new road beds and building new depots
and bridges. Between Jersey City and
Trenton fiftyone and half miles of
fourth were laid, and on the Kensington
two and quarter miles of third track
were laid. A stretch of fifteen and q
half miles of fourth track are now being
laid between Trenton aud Philadelphia,
and fourteen miles of fourth track between
New Brunswick and Amboy junction are
under contract. Early next year four
tracks are to be laid from Germantown to
the North Pennsylvania junction, which
will give continuous fourth track from
Philadelphia to Torresdale, a point TWEEN
iy-seyen miles out of Philadelphia
Among other improvements contemplated
IS u new and very handsome passenger
depot at Trenton. The present building
is not suitable, aud has long been the
cause of much complaint on the part OF
the patrons Of the road and an annoyance
TO the employee. The new building will
be located on the 'shill' nearer the town
and away from the noise and confusion OF
freight traffic. This will necessitate an
entire Encouragement of the tracks at that
point.
The shops of the Pennsylvania Com.
pany are insufficient to turn out either
locomotives or cars as fast as they are
needed, and an order to construct 5000
freight cars has been given to foreign
company.

A TORNADO IN AN OIL WELL.-Mad,
Water and Graoel Thrown Several HIM
dred Feet IN the Air.-An Erie, Pa, dis
patch says Shortly after six o'clock, last
evening, the drill at the new we'll sunk
for the almshouse farm, five miles from
here, on the Lake Shore road, struck a
vein at depth OF 575 feet. 1t was a, regu-
lar tornado, beside blowing mud, water
and gravel out of the we'll to height OF
several hundred feet, and almost raised
the tool, which weighs $500 pounds.
Henry Silliman, who had been burnt by
the burst of gas from the fourth vein,
night before last, and which was being
used under the boiler, took the precau-
ton this time, at the first indication, to
turn off the gas at the furnace and put
out the fire. When the tornado did come
it hurled barrel which had been placed
over the hole clear over the derrick. The
roaring of the escaping gas could be heard
fully mile distant. During the night it
settled down, but even at this time the
flame from the pipe under the boiler
shoots up twenty feet above the smoke
stack. 1t is believed that if head had
been placed on the well last night it
would have been blown off at 100 pounds
pressure, and would certainly blow off at
this writing at fo;ty pounds.

The Paterson Guardian in an article OH
the Morris canal says: ut is perhaps not
generally known that the Morris canal
was the first to use inclined planes instead
of locks, and it will be more of surprise
than ever to many people to know that
this is the only canal that ever did use in
clined planes. There are about thirteen
of them altogether along the line of the
canal. The boats come to the foot of a
hill and are run into cradle set on wheels,
and which run over rails like railroad
car The water of the canal running
from the top to the bottom of the grade
works turbine wheel which turns the
drum on which are eoiled the wire ropes
that pull up the boats. In some cases
there is double track SO that one car
pulls up boat as the other is letting one
down. A single inclined plane saves half
a dozen locks and is operated in half the
time of single lock. Formerly there
was lock at the head of each incline,
but now the boat is taken over a summit
and then down into the water again. It
is very singular arrangement and has
worked to complete satisfaction for many
years, having been started long before the
days of railroads. 1t is not generally
known, however, that this is the only
canal in the world that has such a thing

A Legislative investigation is in pro.
gress in New York as to corners in food
and other necessaries of the people. 1t is
conducted by Senate Committee, and
will probably be made the basis of legsla-
ton this winter The revelations are
somewhat startling, IL accepted as reliable
F. b. Thurber the leading light of the
anti-monopoly party, testified that the
Standard Oil Company began in Pennsyl-
vania in 1879 with 81 1000, 900, which was
subsequently increased to $3, 500, 900. On
this latter capitalization IL paid dividends
in 1880. amounting to $40, 321 ,S2l, and it
practically controls and fixes the value to
the consumer on staple ranking third in
the nations exports. Through its specu-
lative manipulations it has within few
weeks doubled the price of crude oil, and
its profits thereby are variously estimated
at from $50, 900, 900 to $40, 900, 600. A
speculative combination raised the price
Of wheat in 1870 from 81 02 bushel in
August to 81 "A In December. At various
times since the same system of trading
has alternately raised and depressed prices
to such an extent as to seriously democrat
ize legitimate trade. Three hundred YES
sells were idle at the time in the port of
New York waiting cargoes, which the
greed Of the spectators would not per-
nit to be loaded and many were obliged
to seek cargses elsewhere. And still
another combination, he said, obtained
control of the most available supply of
pork in the country aud then advanced
prices so that the consuming public had to
to pay 90 per cent. more for its supplies.
All these transactions were undertaken by
men who had first attained great wealth
largely through special favors from rail
road corporations. This shows the ex-
tent this form Of gambling has assumed.
1t has demoralized legitimate trade, and
epdangers the future of the entire coun-
try. Il does not come under the common
law, and the serious question is whether
statute law can be framed to correct it and
