wanted toget to MoIristown, Which was
east, and for a long while II seemed i'm
possible to get these men along the line
between Pe&pacS and Mendhaln. dis
lance of six miles, to contribute to the
project. and some of them even refused
to give the right of way. Better coun-
sells prevailed after while. however.
and some months ago the work was ne
gun Oh tnis section, and the grading has
very nearly been finished. When the
track shall have been laid they will have
nineteen miles of road instead of the
thirteen now i'll operation, which the
farmers will have built themselves and
which they will own and operate. The
next and last section is from Mendham
to MorriStown, where it will connect
with the Morris and Essex road, and
thus connect the two great systems of
the New Jersey Central and the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western.
MorriStown is q rich community. and
it has a decided interest in seeing the
farmers get their road to that point, as
that will bring coal to that fashionable
borough, andthe price will be reduced
at least 81 ton. AS Morristown burns
10000 tons of coal a year the property
owners will of course not delay putting
up the needful when the opportunity ar
rives. This chance will not be offered
to them till the shrill shrek of the loco
motive shall have sounded and echoed
through the Mendham hills, as Mr.. Mel
ick's experience at the beginning of his
work showed him the wisdom of entirely
completing one section before beginning
another
Of course this road is not a first class
one as to grades or construction, but the
alignment is generally very good indeed;
and if the business should ever require
that heavy trains should be hauled, the
grades could be made less steep by cut
ting here and filling there, and such
work could be done without the inter
ruption of traffic. The culverts have
usually been made of wood, and to the
professional railway builder they look
rough and almost inadequate. But they
have answered the purpose so far, and it
is likely that they will continue to do SO
until the road has means to make better
ments to its roadbed. So far the road
has paid running expenses, and there
fore it does not seem improbable that iii
the near future this new experiment i'll
railroading may prove profitable to its
builders merely as railroad. But they
have not built it for the direct profit
from the road itself. They have built
it because they have been hemmed in by
the high hills from the outside world,
and the farms which made their fathers
and grandfathers rich and independent
We're sources Of outlay rather than in

Special Correspondence


MENDHAlI, n. j., Jan. S.-A great deal
has been written about the railroad the
farmers of New Jersey are building, and
the following is offered in response to
the general interest that has been mani
tested in the project.
For twenty-five years the farmers in
this immediate neighborhood, and for
that matter nearly all of those who own
the land for twenty miles or SO to the
south and west of this village, have strug-
gled on from year to year in the hope
that either one or the other of the great
trunk lines of railway traversing the
state would build branch railway
through here. The great railway mag
mates have from time to time encouraged
this hope by promises more or less def
mite, and there is scarcely farm any
where about through which the engi-

surah, which trimming also edges the
pointed sleeves and bertha. Long suede
gloves completed this simple but very
pretty toilet
A pretty soft gray wooden coat with
cardinal velvet jacket and cuffs struck
my fancy so much for little girls wear
that sketch is given here SO that any
mother can make one just like it. The
back is gathered on just like the front,
and the sleeves are made in two puffs.
These little midgets represent the best
and most sensible fashions for children,
as they are made loose and so as to afford
free play to the little bodies, while also
affording the greatest warmth and COM
fort. Dark wooden dresses and plaid
cloaks made ample and long are those
most seen among them. Large, pictur-
esque hats aud warm, close hoods were
equally popular. These children earn
their own living, and are treated in the
wise5t and most careful manner, with a
double view to health and comfort as
we'll as beauty. OLIVE HARPER

Ashland Citizens Alarmed.

The citizens and proper ty-owners OF
the western end OF Ashland are consid-
erably alarmed by the CT acking and settl-
Ing OF the earth beneath their dwellings.
The town IL built on hill with the main
streets running east and west. 1t was
never believed that the town was under-
mined, except in the southwestern side,
aud there TO no very great extent. The
cracking was first noticed year ago,
but very little attention was given to 1t ct
that time, although it gradually extended
towards the eastern end OF the borough.
The crack first made its appearance on
Walnut, above Fifteenth street. 1t then
rups down Centre and crosses that street,
striking close to the pavement along the
northern side. The buildings along its
track have been damaged, though none
very seriously.
The crack is not noticeable below
Ninth street, although it has caused con-
siderable damage to properties between
that street aud the Methodist Church.
The total loss to property-holders will
reach $4,000, and as the settling con-
tinues their loss increases.

For over a week past several bears
have been seen roaming about the woods
at the foot Of Campbells Ledge, near
Plttston. Fearing that the animals
might get rampant and do considerable
damage, party OF hunters was organiz-
ed, and on Thursday. last week, they
started out, with George Drake Of Lack
awsns, In the lead. After securing about
the woods for some time they finally dis
covered the animals in the brush be-
tween Coxton and the Connell mine at
Lackawana. 1t is claimed that four
bears were seen. At any rate two were
run down by the hunters and killed. An
attempt was made to capture them alive.
but they showed fgh!, and rather than
run the risk OF being hurt, the hunt
ers brought the animals down with a
few loads of buckshot. One OF them was
a she bear, quite large in size, while the
other was a cub.
