rHE FleHr on MR. oRIM.

The controversy over Mr.. Grim's
record as county commissioner,
which was begun in THE JOURNAL
has grown very hot and now in
wolves the contractors and neighbors
of the accused official. Mr.. Dimick
furnishes figures charging that
Pudding river bridge which cost the
the county $3.50, bad only S22&.12 of
material in 1t, leaving profit of
S265.Ss and he says that it could
have been put together for S65 So.
Hence he argues that there was "A
job" of $500 in 1t. He tells Of
"job" of grading which Mr.. Coyle
did, makiHg SO 25 day under Mr..
Grim.
Mr.. Grim's friends defend him in
these matters pretty vigorously.
l.. B. Sanders says the grading at
Western creek bridge was open for
bids. w. r. Sheurer says with
Sanders that the charges against
Grim about the grade contracts con-
tain much that is false, aud that it
was open for bids to the public.
Geo. Herren writes that he is a
Democrat and will not vote for Mr.,
Grim, but that in regard to the
"Butteville bridge and fill men,
toned it was understood that bids
were to be left with me at my store
for this fill, and l remember having
discussed the matter with several
parties here endeavoring to secure
bids ana only succeeded in getting
one bid, which was by w. II.
Sheurer." Mr.. Sheurer was sick and
Mr.. Grim got some one else to do
the work at $40 less than the bid.
b. NJ. Dimick writes that he has
chad considerable experience in
bridge building in Marion county,
and has examined the approach
referred to, and consider that it is
one of the cheapest pieces of work,
considering the workmanship and
material, that the county has done
for some years"
A. Coyle and d. J. Yoder, who
did the grading and bridge work,
both make statements denying all
the charges against Mr.. Grim.

wonders in Our own Country.


If we would cease TO depeLd 30
much upon other countries for our
models of life and thought, we would
have taken the first step toward the
Americanism which should be, but
is not, ours. We read vast amount
OF the wonders of foreign lands, but
very few writers-and still fewer re-
liable ones-tell us of the marvellous
secrets of our own. Every intelli-
gent youth knows that there are
boomerang throwers in Australia,
but how many are aware that there
are thousands of natives in tho
United States just as expert with tho
magic club as are the bushlnen2
All have read of the feats of the
jugglers of India, but how many
know that there are as good Indian
jugglers within our own boundaries2
How many young Americans could
say, when some traveller recounted
the exploits of the famous snake
chaTmers of the orient, "Why, yes I;
we have tribes of Indians in this
country whose trained charmers han
die the deadliest snakes with i'm
punity," and go on TO tell the facts in
the case7
How many know that there are
Indians here who dwell in huge six
story tenements of their own build
ing1 How many know that the last
witch in the United States did not go
up in crdel smoke above old Salem,
but that there is still within our bor-
des a vast domain wherein witch
craft is fully believed in1-Charles y.

One of the unique sights in rail
road traffic, to be seen only on the
Long Island railroad, is the train
known as "the farmers train, (which
is devoted to carrying the farmers
horses and wagons loaded with farm
produce to and from market, This
train runs from Locust Valley to
Long Island City, and makes three
round trips a week. 1t leaves Locust
Valley, which is on the Glen Cove
branch of the Long Island railroad
on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday
nights, returning on the alternate
days. After leaving Locust Valley
the train stops at Glen Head, Albert
sons and Mineola, which is ON the
main line of the railroad. After
leaving Mineola it runs directly to
Long Island City.
At each station at which the train
stops there are long wooden plat
forms with inclined approaches ON
which the farmers drive their horses
and wagons. The horses are then
unhitched and the wagons are drawn
on to large, open fiat cars especially
constructed for carrying them. The
horses are put into box cars and the
farmers and drivers make themselves
comfortable in the passenger coach
attached to the train.
The distance from Locust Valley to
railroad company charges four dol
lars for each two horse wagon per
round trip which includes the car
rying of the horses and men.
On the arrival of the train in Long
Island City the horses and wagons
are unloaded from the cars and the
farmers drive them across the ferries
to dispose Of their produce in this

street sprinkling outfit at low rate.
Referred to ways and means COM
mittee.
Petition of Rhoda w. Edes for
right to make connection with
Court street sewer was granted.
Petition to require the north end
of Cottage street to be improved
where it abuts the property of G. w.
Pugh. Referred to street committee.
Remonstrance of o. Dickinson
and others against building any
bridge on South Commercial street,
Hunt favored tabling. The time
VS. at hand for building that bridge.
1t could be done for less than $1,000.
This remonstrance meant allowing
the railroad to go over on stills and
eucumbering the street so that it
would be ruined as public high
way. Moores said until recently he
had opposed bridge, but visit
to the street on the other side
of the bridge convinced him
that something most he done and
done at once. There was no escape
from improving that street. 1t was
a mere matter of precaution to
widen the street at once.
A GOOD HIT.
Hutton spoke of expense of the
city ordering for street work so
many plans, specifications and sur
veys, costing thousands of dollars
during the past year and not a bit of
work done on the streets to show
for it. He was tired of this dilatory,
do-nothing policy. Before any more
such expense was in Cured he want
ed to see something done on the
streets.
