RAILROAD NOTES.

One hundred and fifteen persons were
killed or injured on the Amboy Division
last year. Fifty were employees, of whom
were struck while walking on the tracks.
The engineer reports that the right of
way for the thirty-two miles of railroad,
from Point Pleasant to Allentown, has
practically all been given. The re-
Inainder of the line TO the Pennsylvania
Railroad, at Trenton, willa probably be
re located. The people of Allentown
nave shown much public spirit n have
subscribed literally to the capital stock
of the company. AS soon as the charter
is obtained construction will be begun at
several points and al effort will be made
TO open The line for next summers travel.
When the slight additional local support
needed to place the enterprise on a sound
basis is secured the company will be
chartered.
A gang of 200 men began work at Den
nisville, on the Cape May Branch of the
new Philadelphia and Seashore Railroad,
Tuesday, and are making rapid progress
through the southern point of Jersey.
On the Lehigh Valley the houses Of the
Wrecking crews are connected with call
wires, SO that there is no delay in notify
ing them.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad Is tinkering Ut the ceiling
of the old barracks nsed as a station in
Dover. This indicates that the manage
ment is not to be driven into building
the handsome depot for which the plans
are supposed to have been on file more
than two years.
The employees of the Paterson Horse
Railroad Company are TO have one day OF
leisure every week.
The grading of the Camden and Allan
tic Railroads double track is completed
as far as West Berlin.
A decision recently rendered by a Penn
sylvania court sustains previous decis
ions that a passenger need not pay fairs
unless provided with a seat.

THE OLD TIME CLAIM.
New Jersey Central Fights for an
Irrepealable Tax Contract
other State News.

Assemblyman Fred. Marsh and City
Attorney Bergen, of Elizabeth, were
busily engaged at the State Library
at Trenton yesterday, preparing a
brief in q serious case brought by the
Central Railroad Company against
the city of Elizabeth in the United
States Supreme Court.
In 1882 S. D. Bowers, then Comp
troller of Elizabeth, brought action
against the Central Company for
taxes levied by the city on waterfront
property, the shops and coal docks,
said taxes being unpaid. Inc suit
was decided against the company IN
the Court of Errors and Appeals. The
case was appealedt to the United States
Court. In the meantime the Com
missioners of Adjustment reduced the
taxes, and the railroad company paid
1926. 600.
The point at issue now is the legal
ity of the questions involved; the rail
road company taking the stand that
it has ~irrepealable rights, and hence
the property is not liable to taxation.
Should the city lose in the United
States Court it would have to refund
all the money that has been paid it by
the Central company since the ltlga-
tion began.
Messrs. Marsh and Bergen went
to Washington OH Monday to
contest the issue. The case was
argued there by ex-Chancellor Will
hanson for the railroad COM
pany and City Attorney Bergen
for the city. Mr.. Bergen obtained a
stay of action for thirty days, so as to
enable him to file a brief defining the
city's position. March 3 was desig-
mated as the time when the question
will be decided.
The railroad company claims that
when it obtained a charter many
years ago from the State of New Jer-
sey it was given in this charter ire
pealable rights. The company pays
the city about 5000 yearly for taxes.
Messrs. Marsh and Bergen were in
consultation, yesterday, with the law
yers who were engaged in the tax
cases against the railroads in the Su-
preme Court of this State, and they
will be aided by them.

Got Crazy over a House.

John McCoully, a wealthy bachelor,
aged forty-five years, who is boarding
with a Mrs. Brady on Quarry street,
Belleville, on Monday night jumped
from the second story window with
nothing on but his nightshirt. Moth
ing was heard of the man until yes
terday, when he was found in the
hayloft OF Thomas Conway's barn,
half starved and half frozen to death.
The unfortunate fellow started to
build a house, but the trouble he had
with his plans is supposed to have de-
ranged his mind.

The Mandamus Coming.

Colonel E. L. Price, of the Demo-
cratic County Committee, ex-Chancei-
Tor Runyon and ex-Judge Stevens,
counsel for the Democratic party,
have completed their arrangements
for applying to Judge Depue for a
man6ainus to compel the Newark
Common Council to comply with the
redistricting law of 1889.
The proceedings are begun in the
name of Alderman James A. Demp-
sey, who is made relator. In his afii-
davit he sets forth that he was duly
elected an Alderman from the
Sixth ward; that he was present
at a meeting of the Common
Council on December 20, 1889; that at
that meeting a resolution was pre-
sented to divide the city into wards
according to the law, and that it vas
referred to City Counsel Coult. He
presented on January g. 800, an opin-
ion to the Common Council express
ing doubts as to the constitutionality
of the law, and advising the Common
Council to disobey it. This they did.
He also sets fourth that the Common
Council still refuses to take any ac-
ton, and the majority say they do moi
intend to.
The day for applying for the man
damns has not been settled yet, but it
IS expected to come before the SUI
preme Court, which sets in two weeks.

Neat and Attractive Hands.

With the hands, as with most of the
rest of the equipment of the human
frame, we ought to make the best of
that which is provided by nature, but
this making the best is not by any
means always done. Neglect and mis-
use are too often charged back to poor
nature, when, in fact, it is simply human
inattention which is to blame. The
time has gone by when hard, rough
hands, save in the case of men in a few
of the rougher lines of employment,
are considered necessity, or when the
possession of smooth hands, with white,
soft skin, is regarded as the mark of
effeminacy in men or of reprehensible
pride and affectation in women. To
make the person attractive, neat and
becoming, pleasing to ones associates
and source of satisfaction to ones
self, is no longer regarded as frivolous
vanity, even among hard working men
and women, except in very ignorant
or very slovenly communities. The
man or woman, therefore, who has a
beautiful face, a shapely hand, or a
form perfect and graceful has pos
session of which to be thankfully
proud, and on which it is justifiable to
bestow care and attention, with view
to preserve and enhance the priceless
gift.-GOod Housekeeping.

FlOwer.POt Covers.

1t is pretty device to cover the
hower-pot or vase holding flowers with
a silk cover. either on the stand or din
ing-table. Ready-made, a number of
these are quite an expensive purchase.
Homemade, they cost but trifle, and
are easily completed. Take length,
for instance, of willow-green China silk
and a corresponding length of prim-
rose yellow silk, the latter for the lin
ing. Join neatly in the form of an OBJ
long bag, and then put two or three
runners about five inches below the
top; put your narrow ribbon through
this, or an elastic band; place the
fower-pot inside, then draw up the run
ner at the bottom and the one at the
top. Allow the full frill thus made to
stand up well at the back as it faces
you, but in front the broad hem should
droop downward its full length, so that
the bright yellow lining appears. A
large satin bow and ends may be added,
by way of further establishment. A
set of a dozen fine ferns set in surround
ings such as are just described recently

Mrs. Cleyeland's Diamonds.

Mrs. Grover Cleveland is the posses
sor of diamonds, the total collection of
which, set and mounted, is estimated
at fully $4,000. The day of her mar
riage she received magnificent ring
and a necklace of solitaires from her
husband and diamond pins for her hair
from Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, but
the first diamond ring she ever pos
sessed was given to her by one of her
Buffalo friends. 1t was a tiny little
star of diamonds, and she wore it upon
her little finger the day she became
Mrs. Cleveland. Since that time, birth
days and at Christmas, Mr.. Cleveland
has always presented his wife with
diamonds. The unset stones of Mrs.
C!eveland's collection are not very
large, and some of them are little off
color. The unmounted gems are ar
ranged in little cabinets of inlaid wood,
and the cabinets are provided with tiny
little nests of cotton, and in them the
diamonds rest. Each nest has its num-
Der, and the memorandum-book tells,
after each number, the time and place
of purchase, besides the value of the
stone.-Erchange.

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Gus
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
trely closed deafness is the result, and,
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the mucus
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we can not cure by taking

The Swedish COlOnists ON the
Schuylkill.

The excellence of the fishing in the
Schuylkill and the abundance of game
in the neighboring woods were dwelt
upon by those who visited the settle
ment long before the Fishing Company
was organized. AT the end of the seven
teenth century the Swedes were among
the most important of the inhabitants,
and they have been unjustly deprived
of much of the honor that is doubt
less due them for bestowing upon the
modern city some of its most delightful
traits. Among other virtues, they pos
sessed a strong love of the soil on which
they dwelt, and this made their coming
hither very slow. Perhaps the first i'm
migrants from Scandinavia were not of
a character that would make one well
come in the homes of their descendants.
However this may be-and the vices of
the early and adventurous times are the
last subject to be dwelt upon-there
soon came Swedes who cleared the for
ests between the Schuylkill and the
Delaware, who raised good cattle and
horses, and who are entitled to the graf
itude of many generations for natural
izing the apple, the cherry and the
peach on the Delaware. And these
Swedes, besides loving their homes and
clinging 10 them, in contrast to the
migratory Dutchmen, who were all for
trade, and who were tempted north
ward by their brethren in New York
these descendants of the vikings main
tanned the traditions of their race. And
these wholesome traits, refined in the
process of civilization, remain heri-
tage of the city even in this modern
time, and although the quiet Sundays,
the precise and proper houses, and the
frequent dutter of drab gowns, remind
one that the town was founded by
Quakers, there be other joys in Phila-
delphia than those of meditation. -Har-
