The Philadelphia Times comments on
the result of the recent control of the New
Jersey Central Railroad obtained by the
Gowen-Garret-V Vanderbilt combination as
follows: 1.-THE election of the Gowen-
Garret ticket as directors of the Jersey
Central railway Is an advanced step to-
ward new railway line between New
York and Baltimore, and promises the
prompt prosecution of that important
work. The Reading now has It's line from
this city to New York, and the Baltimore
& Ohio has long been seeking to extend
its line northward to the two great COM
mercial and manufacturing cities Of the
Union. Messrs. Gowen, Carrot and Van-
derbilt have now Joined hands and pos
sessed the Jersey Central, and their pur-
pose is unconcealed to make railway
combination extending from New York to
the south by Baltimore and Washington.
They will find many obstacles in their
path. but probably none 80 great as those
which have now been overcome. The
Gowen-G Garrett Vanderbilt railway scheme
Is one Of grand proportions. 1t means a
northern outlet for the Baltimore & Ohio,
and southern outlet for the Reading, by
q new line from Philadelphia to Balti-
more an outlet for the Reading from
Williamsport to the lakes by the Pine
Creek route, aud an outlet for the Reading
TO the west from the Cumberland valley
through the southern border counties"

THAT SWANS CREEK BRIDGE.

We did not intend to say anything
more upon this subject at present, but
our feelings are constantly stirred and in
tensi6ed. We cannot help feeling and
seeing the hardships we are subjected to
by this act of Wong doing. A few days
ago there was funeral near the bridge,
and it was with difficulty the hearse could
be got near the house to receive the corpse.
Mr.. Ramsey's customers, who come to
his place of business with their horses
and wagons, must let them stand in an
exposed and dangerous position; and
these customers are frequently women
and children. What adds to the criminal.
ity of this act of wrong doing, 1t was done
of choice. If it had been unavoidable,
there would be some palliation.
Now we submit to every reasonable
person who will take the trouble to exam
inc the position of these houses and what
they would have been If the bridge had
been lowered: Was our request unrea.
sonable or impracticable9 Would not eve-
ny person In this city, if they owned these
properties, have complained as bitterly as
we do? The only difference now is that
it is our OK that is gorsd--not theirs.
There is difference between skinning
and being skinned. While the operation
is being performed on somebody else, they
stand by and see without protest in

If IL is Imperative that this bridge be
kept at its present height for fear of dan
ger from high creek, It is equally i'm
perative that the one on Main St. be rails

the people bought lands along this creek
when it was comparatively q wilderness
and built houses and greatly improved
this part of tho city. Must they take all
the risks and hardships, and the county
none? This bridge, in its present post
ion, was always unsightly and marred
the looks of the street, and is much more
so now, making hill in the street for
teams to climb, which, IL the bridge had
been lowered, would have been level.

(which every school boy on the bill ought
to comprehend) that the bridge be lower.

LEGAL MARRIAGE CONTRACT.

Mr.. EDITOR We owe you a debt Of
gratitude for reporting decision of the
court that marriage contract made on
Sunday was valid. 1t relieves us of con-
siderable anxiety. To have wakened up
at this late day to the fact that we were
never legally married would have been a
terrible shock. 1t might be difficult to
prove against us the exact time of the
contract, day and date, but we would be
constrained to admit that preliminary
steps had been taken and the thing talked
on Sunday, which is equally as bad. G.

Wallace Hunt, Trenton youth Of re-
spectacle connections, was fined $20G and
costs, and was committed until 1t is paid,
for attempted blackmail. Last Spring he
wrote to 7. G. Williams, of the firm of
Wilmington q Williams, threatening to
inform his wife that he was keeping COM
pany with another woman. and had been
at hotel In Princeton with her, IL he d id
not give him 800. An appointment was
made with Hunt, who had signed fctti-
GUS name, and he was arrested. He had
disguised himself with a false mustache
and wig, and at the trial admitted send
ing the letters. But his counsel argued
as they did not charge specific crine in
dictable under the laws Of the State, he
was not guilty under the statute relating
to Matchmaking. The Court decided that
he was guilty, and imposed the above sem
tence. The opinion, which is the irst one
upon that aspect of the offense, Is looked
upon with much favor by the bar and the
community generally.

A Valuable Collection.


DR.. w. r. Little is the only botanist we
have in this section. He has made It a
study for some years, and has collection
of 1900 plants, insects, etc. He has a
moth of the Sub Rosa family that is one
of the largest on the continent, measuring
81 inches when the wings are spread ont
to their full extent. He Is now in search
of very rare Towering plant called the
Sedan Rhodivia, of the Crassulaceal
family. 1t grows in great variety in the
Arctic regions, but has never been dis
covered south of Maine except in Pennsyl-
yania, fifteen miles below Easton, along
the banks of the Delaware, which would
be almost opposite Milford. Doctor
Porter, of Lafayette College, Easton, who
is hardly excelled as botanist in the
United States, and who has the finest COL
lection of Pennsylvania plants in exist
ence, gives it as his opinion that the seeds
Of this plant were carried here during the
glacial period. Whether this be true is a
question that botanist and scientist will
doubtless never be able to fathom. HIM.
