Whenever you can find a manu-

Ask to see the pin-stripes of dark

The New Railroad to New Hope.

The New Railroad TO New Hope.
At meeting Of the directors of the
Northeast Pennsylvania Railroad Com
paDy held in Philadelphia on Saturday, 1t
was decided to build an extension to their
line from Hartsyille to New Hope, q town
on the Delaware River opposite Lambert
vile. The Northeast is branch of the
North Penn, and the junction Is at Abing.
ton. 1t is only nine miles long, but 1t is
proposed to make 1t fifteen miles. 1t Is
now operated by the Reading.
The Northeast Pennsylvania has q
stock capital of 100000 OF this amount,
however, only $81, $50 has been paid In.
The balance unissued will be subscribed
for by the residents along the line at par
to raise the funds for laying the new
track. A new issue of bonds to the
amount of $500, 900 will also be made.
The company has now outstanding $780,
600 worth of bonds bearing z per cent.
interest. Some of these will mature this
year, another lot will fall due in 1891 and
the balance will have to be redeemed 10
1892. The new bonds to be issued will
provide for the retirement of these per
cent. bonds. No interest rate for the new
issue has been fixed.
Fl. K. Nichols, the chief engineer of the
Reading Railroad Company, was appoint
ed engineer 10 charge of the construction
Work will be begun at once on the new
line.
The present territory reached gives q
good return, but the residents of the dis
trict between Hartsville and the Delaware
River demand better facilities for reach
ing the city, as the Pennsylvania and the
Reading lines are equally hard to reach.
1t Is expected that the extension will be
a good Investment, especially an the new
line win be shorter by fifteen miles from
New Hope than the Pennsylvania Line
from Lambertville by the way of Trenton.

A "Reminiscences Of 1910.

n
In the Fall of 1910, when Gen. w. II,
Harrison was running for President Of
tho United States, our city was then 9
small town Of about 500 people, and th,
lower Touring mill (now occupied by
Lear, Holcomb & Niece was fast being
completed, with the following named
workmen hard at work there Charles
Ogden Holcombe, Wilkinson Holcombe,
Ten Eyck Kroesen and William Reeder,
carpenters; Henry Young, John Young,
Elijah Hall and Daniel Ent, millwrights,
and other laborers One fine evening,
as the sun was just going behind the
hills, band of music struck up one OF
the airs of that campaign. from tho mid
die of the river, near this mill, which so
suddenly broke the stiffness of the quiet
village that not only these mechanics
ran TO the windows, so near the scene,
in great surprise, but the villagers as
well came rushing down to the river
bank, to see the landing of Durham
boat, loaded with delegation OF fifty
men to stay over night, as they were
going to Trenton next day to attend q
great Wing convention. The boat land
ed just below the Delaware bridge, and
after giving three rousiDg cheers, with
band, flags and banners, they disem-
barked, and in double Gle marched up
to the Lambertville House, then kept
by Thomas Carhart, followed by the
large gathering of people. For supper,
beds and breakfast, this was too much
for the astounded proprietor. and it was
agreed to divide the guests into three
parts, one OF which remained with Mr..
Carhart, another section was escorted to
the Bellemont House, kept by David
Chidistcr, and the third to Mrs. Nathan
Risler's, at the York Street Honse,
where at the three places the night was
spent with many chat on the situation.
The morning came, and after hearty
breakfast the band commenced playing
and these fifty men, the delegates and
political friends Of the Wing cause and
Of Gen. Harrison ("Tippecanoe y rep
resenting the up river counties Of oui
State, went aboard and pushed theii
boat from shore amidst deafening cheers,
and while the band discoursed music
the boat and jolly crew went gaily down
the river, through Wells Falls, on their
way to the convention that day held in
Trenton.

More from DR.. Hammond, on the Cigar
A reader Of The RECORD sends us the
following, from DIR. Hammond, for pub.
LEGATION;
Investigation shows that the cigarettes
sold in this country are, as a rule, vilely
adulterated, and with substances even
more injurious than tobacco. Some
thing might be done, perhaps, by the
passage of laws preventing the manufac
ture or sale of cigarettes. Surely if the
law can interfere to stop the production
OF oleomargarine on the ground of its
being prejudicial to the health of the
public, it might properly be invoked on
the same plea for the manufacture Of
cigarettes. Some States do not allow
alcohol in any form to be produced or
sold within their limits, and yet I am
inclined to believe that more injury can
be inflicted on the human race by the
excessive use of tobacco by young per-
sons than by immoderate liquor drink
ing. The latter would probably kill
more quickly and before the subject
would have an opportunity Of procreat-
ing the species, but the former would
certainly destroy the health and vitality
OF those who might descend from him.
In the city of Washington saw, few
days ago, wretched looking child,
scarcely five years old, smoking cigar
cite and blowing the smoke from his
nostrils. His pale, pinched face was
twitchiDg convulsively, his little Shout
ders were bent, and his whole appear
auce was that of an old man. Should
he live to become the father OF family,
what kind of children is he likely TO
have?

STOCKTON, N. j.. Feb. 81, 1880.
Mn. ErTToR--I see by the news in
TIE RECORD that Delaware township
has no paupers to be looked after. Well,
we have not had very many for some
time past, but in looking over the tax
rate l find it to be four cents per 800.
Now, / understand that our Town Com
mittee have entered into contract with
G. P. Wilson to keep our paupers for
the year now at hand, aud paying there
for sum of money amounting to not
quite $500. Well, it is all right ON the
part of G.. P. Wilson, but I think our
bosses are a little too free with the tax
payers money. 1t has been talked and
talked every year that our taxes would
be lower the next time, but we do not
see anything that looks like it. / see by
the tax bill of 1866 that the percentage
ON the one hundred dollars was forty
cents for all taxes to be gathered. Well,
it is thrifty place in Delaware town
ship and our taxes grow right along,
and now for the year 'sS We have a per.
centage Of 81 .06, an increase of 66 per
cent. in twenty-five years. Our county
tax alone is 40 cents per 800 for the
past year. Who eau tell when and
where this thing win stop? Ask some
good Democrat.
The ice houses in and around Stock
ton were filed up last week with pretty
good ice, running in thickness from four
