THE CUTOFF RAILWAY.
Expected to be Open for Traffic by Next
Spring.

Work on the Trenton Cutoff Railway
is progressing rapidly, and If the coming
Winter proves favorable for out of-door
work, it is expected to have the road open
for traffic by Spring. 1t is said that this
line will be one of the best built roads 10
the country.
The Trenton Branch is being built pri-
marily to secure short route for Western
freight for New York, and to relieve the
Philadelphia drill-yard. However, the
passenger service will not be neglected,
aud it is expected TO be seventy -mile-an-
hour road. 1t branches off from the main
line at Glen Lock, and again joins the
main line at Morrisville. 1t will be one
of the best railroads built, with due con-
sideration to the matter of sights. There
is not point on the line at which an en-
gineer cannot see at least a half mile
ahead of his locomotive. The curvature
is very slight, the maximum curve being
one degree, and the grades are so adjusted
that the apexes will offer practically no
obstruction to the view, the SUBMITS being
rounded off and toned down to degree
seldom obtained in railroad building.
There will not be stick of trestlng on
over the Philadelphia, Newtown and New
York Railroad, one over the North Penn,
and one over the Bound Brook Road.
All the other bridges will be substantial
stone viaducts, two tracks wide, and that
over the Neshaminy will consist of eight
spans, each fifty feet long. Another
handsome structure of seven fifty foot and
three thirty-foot spans will cross the Wis.
sahickon, and magnificent bridge Of
seven spans is being erected over the
Schuylkill at Norrstown.
In constructing the road for speed, with
the shortest possible distances, it wal
| necessary to cut through a number of hills
and cross deep and wide rayines, requiring
more excavation and filling than ordinar-
lily in building railroads. One of the lar.
gest fills is near Newtown, Bucks county,
where $50, 900 cubic yards of earth were
required to level the roadway for dis.
lance of mile to an average height Of
thirty feet. BY increasing the distance
and making several curves this immense
fill could have been avoided, but such a
course would not have been consistent
with the principles governing the construc-
ton of the road which 1t is intended shall
develop the country through which il
passes, and openup new markets for farm
ers along portion of the line
The distance from Norristown to New
York will be lessened about thirty miles
by the construction Of the new line, which,
1t is claimed by Pennsylvania Railroad
officials, will also be the shortest route
from Reading to New York.
The cost OF the new line will be ovel
81, 000,0O0

In order to show how the sportsmeu
of Hunterdon are deprived of the game
that is rightfully theirs, we print the fol-
lowing paragraph which was publish in
an Easton paper:
IA party of hunters from Harmony,
Warren county, hearing that the hills Of
Hunterdon were alive with game, decided
to try their luck, and on Friday last went
to Pittstown, and after hunting for two
days in that vicinity report that 242 rab-
bits had been shot. OF course their ex-
pectatlons were fully realized. and it is
evident that game is more plenty in that
county than in Warren. No doubt they
will try it again, and we expect to then
be able to report an increase in the num-
Der of rabbits"

David II. Bloom has been chosen
Superintendent of the Holland Presbyter-
ian Sunday School in place of Jesse Sin
clair. The latter had been Superintendent
of Sunday schools for forty-two years, he
having been first chosen to that office by
the Holland Union Sunday School in
lS4S. AT the beginning of Mr.. Sinclair's
career as a Superintendent of Sunday
Schools in 1S48 the services were conduct
ed In what was then known as the Eight
Square School House, !" located in Holland.
This was one of the first Sunday Schools
organized in that section of the country.
Some time after the erection of the Hol-
land Presbyterian Church, Mr.. Sinclair
withdrew from the Union Sunday School
and organized a school in the interest of
that church. He is now an old man, but
he can proudly say what very few can,
that he has acted as Sunday School Su-
periutendent for forty-two consecutive
years. He resides on the Musconetcong
mountain, near Riegelsville.

"A man who had been run over by the
cars was found last Friday morning at 8
o'clock, near Jutland, this county, by
track walker Beidleman, and was taken
to Landsdown station, where he died
shortly after. His remains were viewed
by County Physician Ewing, who gave
them in charge of Case & Swarer, the
Clinton undertakers. He was found to
have one leg off at the ankle and the
other leg mangled from the hip almost to
the ankle, the little finger of his left hand
off, and slight scratch on his right tenn
pie. He had laid there several hours and
death was caused from loss of blood On
his person was found clay pipe, an emp
ty pocket-book, a card and pawn ticket
for some clothing at Jersey City pawn
shop. His name is believed to be Tom
O'Neil, as he had the initials T. o. N. on
his arm. The smell of whiskey was

was buried, it being in Franklin township
where he died.
