Two beats who were threatened with
arrest for not paying fare between Phila.

week, raised a window n Jumped from
the train when they saw the officers APP
preaching They did not know that the
car was on a bridge until they struck the
ice water of II creek, from which they
were pulled in a half drowned condition.
They then paid their fare rather tina go

New day coaches have heen put on the
Washington limited of the Pennsylvania
road, SO that passengers are no longer
obliged TO buy Pullman tickets for the
train unless they hoo to ride in u Pull

Several changes were made last week
among the conductors of the SusQue-
hanna. AL. Corwin was advanced from
one of the milk train runs to a run on the
express from Middlerown. John Lee
was placed on the milk train. Charles
Van Duser took Lees former run, and
Dorv Larue, of the freight, was advanced
to Van Duser's place.
The longest through ran on any
railroad system in the world was inaugu-
rated last week by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, by sending out a Pullman car
on the st. Louis express. at 2:l5 p. M,
direct to Oakland Pier, California, for the
San Francisco travel. The run will be

From the Elizabeth Journal.


The English are ahead of us in one re-
spect. They do not so eagerly and SO un-
reasonably rush after the ''get rich quick
or the ''get something for nothing''
schemes. Nor do they take 10 the plan
of offering premiums to get new sub
scribers to magazines. story papers, light
weeklies, etc. The premium system does
not succeed in England, because the peo-
pie there rightly think that If you offer
them something for nothing it isn't
worth their consideration. or else that the
cost of the premium must in some way
be subtracted from the intrinsic value and
quality of the magazine. Aud as IL rule
inis is a reasonable conclusion. The jim
cracks, The pictures. the crockery ana the
what-nots that are offered as premiums

Gals. and the stuff Thar is offered in the
same way in commercial bargaining

This is n great country. Special Field
Agent Nelson of the Governments Death
Valley exploring party, has been on a
trip through the mountains back of Yose-
mite Park, and discovered Dasaltic col
umnar cliffs which. he declares, are fully
equal to the Giants Causeway on the
coast of Ireland. In Saline Valley the
party found it even worse than in the
famous Death Valley. Mr.. Nelson SAYS
eve had a fine black dog, n on arriv-
ing in the valley. the dog, being warm,
jumped into a spring to cool himself.
When he got out the heat was so intense
1t steamed and scaided his skin, and next
day all his hair came out. aud he was
completely raw. The following day he
died. That night it was so hot in the
valley that l went early, before the sun
was up, to examine the traps we had set.
I found several small rodents. but they
were dead and cooked in the traps from
the heat. ant fell to pieces when l at
tempted to get them out" If you don't
believe this, &c to Death Valley aud
Saline Valley yourself. and see. AS We
before remarked. this a great country.

New Jersey Is a great State, and Leon
Albeit is a great Governor. His message
to the Legislature. which even political
opponents conceded to be a model docu-
meut, presents the glorious picture OF a
prosperous commonwealth redeemed by
him from debt and embarrassment in two
years, with the assistance of Democratic
Legislatures. There is au evident moral
here for States still suffering un
der Republican misrule. Be Dem
ocratic and o. will he happy.
AS Tor the Governor, the constitu-
ton of the State prevents New Jer-
sey from retaining his valuable services
after the present year. and she will gen
~erously resign him to the United States
as Senator, Vice President or President,
for any of which positions he is abund-
antly qualified.

ganist. Dir s. Austen Pearce. who re-
Gently TOOK charge there. last evening
gave a recital on the beautiful new organ.
which was attentively followed and en-
joyed by a large audience.
The programme consisted of eighteen
numbers, which DR.. Pearce gave entirely
from memory, Il difficult task for even a
very retentive memory, The numerous
works gwen were by such eminent COM
posers as Chopin, Schurnann, Beethoven,
Spohr, Wagner. Handel, MendelssohE,
Schubert and Meverbeer. Il rich pro-
gramme for a musical enthusiast. A
Scherzo, "Happy Moments" by DR..

most delightful selections were the ave

DIR. Pearce comes to Jersey City well

Free Library Money.

WHY is the Board of Free Library
Trustees so reluctant to tell what it
has done with the $50, 900 paid to it
by the city in the last year? Is it con-
scious OF any extravaganza or waste,
that it refuses to have the figures given
to the public? Public trustees, who
are certain of their ground, are not so
apt to stand on punctilio as DIR.
Gordon seems to be. However, we
will have the report next Tuesday at
latest. 1t is % be presented, DIR.
Gordon say to the Board of Alder
men on that evening, and then it will
be public property.
1t does not seem to US, we are bound
to say, that $50, 900 is a very large sum
for the Trustees to have spent. AS
Stunning that the furnishing, catalogu-
ing and other preliminary expenses
cost So, 900, and the running expenses
of a year $50. 900; there would remain
$40, 900 to spend on books. This is
not too much for the first year of the
Library, and the catalogue affords fair
reason to think that that much was
judiciously spent.
But why make a mystery about it?
Why should DR.. Gordon shut himself
up in an armor of obstinate r%eticence?
Why not tell the people who con-
tributed the money what has been
done with it? Is there really any
thing to conceal or is it only DIR. Cor
don's customary way of making him
self offensive?
The Herald" and the Gutenberg
Rncetrack.
We observe with amusement that
the Herald is waging a bitter fight
against the Gutenberg racetrack.
We are not surprised. Mr.. James
Gordon Bennett is a large stakeholder
in Board of Control racetracks. They
have, in the past, brought him in
large profits. Doubtless the popular
itv of the Gutenberg track has cut
downs his dividends. Hinc M@ Ia
chrymR.
OF course the Herald takes a high
sporty tone in its structures on winter
racing; but why is not racin g as
sportsmanlike in soft weather in
December as in May. In England
and Ireland, the birrhplaces of horse
racing, the climate is such that nine
tenths of all the running is done on
soft tracks. We are inclined to coin
eide in the opposition to running on
frozen ground on account of the dan
ger, but Gutenberg has long since
given up this practice, and raised its
system to quite as high a level OF
sportmanship as any of the Board of
Control parks.
What we want in this State is ar
impartial law to govern racing,
something IN the plan of the New
York statute, but dealing with all
tracts on one even basis. If the
Herald will agitate for such Al enact
ment, we will cordially help it. But
we have no sympathy with it when it
plays dog in the manger, or attempts
to use the law and the machinery of
the law in this State to pull its chest
nuts out of the fire.

Sporrsmen are having great success

One runner bagged over one hundred

nearly as large a record.

use sparrows instead Of pigeons for
shooting contests is said to be that in
New Brunswick. The club secures its
sparrows at night by spreading nets be-
