AGAINST ADGITERATION.

The Committee of tho Pure Food Assoc
citation Before Senate COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16s-Messls. F. B. Thur
Der and H. A. La Fetra, New York, e. 81.
BARLEY, of the board Of health, of Brooklyn,
Finley Acker and S. w. Buckley, Philadel-
phia, and p f. Smith, Pittsburg, represent
ing the legislative committee of the National
Pure Food association, were before the senate
finance committee in behalf Of the bill re-
Gently adopted by the pure food convention
at Washington. The bill has been framed in
accordance with the ideas Of Senator Sher-
man and Representative Crisp, of Georgia,
who have charge of the bill in the senate and
house respectively.
Mr.. Thurber said the bill was more practi-
cable than former measures of similar
character. He though that the evils of adul-
teration had been exaggerated, but he believed
they existed sufficiently to warrant a national
anti-adulteration bill. It would form basis
for state action.
Mr.. La Fetra said that an examination by
DR.. Smart Of the army, Of I'll food samples
showed that adulteration existed in this
country to an extent equal to that which ex-
isted in England prior to the adoption of pre-
ventive measures. It was also stated to the
committee that the publication of the COM
ponents of all articles of food by the govern
ment would result in great good.
Mr.. Thurber said in answer to a question
chat the anti-adulteration laws in New York
state had been q great benefit.

For Transporting Live Stock.

BUFFALO, Feb. 16.-The last scheme in the
transportation of live stock, and one which
promises to revolutionize the traffic through
out the country, has been quietly put into
successful operation Last fall twenty-five
cars were built and run over the Grand
Trunk and Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroads as an experiment. Since t6en
some notifications have been made and these
trains are now to be run regularly. The COM
pany, to be called tine American Live Stock
Express company, proposes to transport stock
from Chicago to Hoboken over the roads
named in forty-five hours, with only half an
hours stoppage in Buffalo for water. 1t is
expected that the business will be in full run
ming order by March l. The company en-
ploys its own men to care for the stock in
transit, entirely relieving the shipper aud the
railroad company from this expense The
co,npauy's plans are said to be so thoroughly
systematized that shippers and railroads will
be compelled to put the business into their
hands

NUTMEG GRATINGs.

Merwin Fowler, while in Grand avenue
horse car in New Haven yesterday, had
three OF his ribs broken by the shaft of a
runaway garbage team crashing through
the window.
Moore's business block, a large two-story
building in Rockville, was burned this
morning. The adjoining Methodist and
Congregational churches were in great
danger. The lower floor was occupied as
dry goods store by Carroll & Mcdonald.
The upper story was used as residence by
DIR Moore. The loss win probably amount
to S25, 900. The hydrants were frozen and
the hremen worked well under dificulties.
One of them, Richard Farrell, fell and
broke his leg.

He is an American.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. - Regarding the
statement of L. McCabe, Of Milwaukee, that
Gen. Sheridan was not born in this country,
it is stated positively that the general was
born in Albany, n. Y, in March, 1881.
About eighteen months later his parents
removed to Ohio which has since been the
family home, Gen. Sheridan was appointed
to West Point from Ohio, and in view of the
fact that he had practically known no other
home, he allowed himself to be registered as
having been born there Mr. McCabe has
evidently confounded Gen. Sheridan with his
elder brother, Patrick, who was of Irish
birth, but who came to America with his par
ents, and subsequently died in his 21st year.

NEWARk's PLEASANT PROSPECTS.
A Project rs Years Old Revived and
Likely to Be Carried Out.


Likely to Be Carried Out.
TRENTON, Feb. 16.-Assemblyman Riker
has introduced most interesting bill in the
house. 1t provides for the removal of all OBJ
stacles to the old project, which was inter-
rupted by the breaking out of the war, for
the establishment of handsome lake between
Newark and Elizabeth. The project is in tho
hands of g company established more than a
quarter of a century ago. This company in
connection with the State Agricultural so
ciety owns lands adjacent to the state fair
grounds at Waverly, which are marshy and
admirably fitted, by the erection of proper
dam, for lake purposes
1t is the object of the proprietors to create
the lake and use it for pleasure purposes
Booths and pavilions will be erected, row
boats will be provided in profusion, and the
lake, it is expected, will become great resort
for both Newark and Elizabeth. During the
state fair i'll September it will be an agree
able addition to the other attractions. In
winter it will be kept in condition for skating,
and half a dozen toboggan slides can be built
on the slopes that arise from the waters
edge The lake viii be more than double the
size of the largest lake in Central park, New
York
