After committee meeting which lasted

to change the grade of the new county
road on Avenue A, between FIfty-ninth
and Sixtieth streets, Bayonne. The COM
mittee to whom the matter had been re-
ferred reported as follows:
To The Honorable Board of Chosen Free

GEETLEMrN:-Your Committee on New Public

at meeting of the Board held Friday,
January s 1899, would most respectfully
Lehigh Valley Terminal Railroad Company be
rejected on account Of it not being advantage
Gus to the interest of the county in the con
struction of the New Public Road, as it necessi-
tates the needless expense to the county of the
following items:-
First to build (S) receiving basins at
cost of $125 each. 81, 600 90

wall, 81 per yard rd................... 5000 90
To 1900 lineal feet of coping, SOC yard 9l8 90
To legal expenses in suit. 5000 90
The annual expenses incurred in keeping the
cuverts and sewer clear of sand and dirt swept
into the receiving basins in stormy weather by
the flow of water which will be undoubtedly
great because of the grade made by the depres-
sion in said new public road, is an unknown
item OF expense that no one can accurately
measure.
The whole matter may be summed up thus
If we have to submit to the Disagreement and
injury sought to be done the new Public Road
in the interest of the railroad company we must
at least insist tn at the tax payers shall not be
burdened 10 the extent of single dollar for any
such purpose. No reputable corpor alton
should have the effrontery to expect the public
to bear any such imposition for its benefit and
the Board in its demands simply seeks to indem-
Nifty the public against this imposition.

Why Eggs Spoil.

Whenever a fortified egg is raised

the process ceases. These conditions
are found in the warm days and coo

work; during the cool night it ceases
After three or four alterations of this
kind, the embyro chick dies and the
rOtting process begins.
Now, it is evident that if the. eggs
were not fortified, the Matching would
not begin, neither would the rotting,
and hence, there would be an absence

is to prevent fertilization of the eggs.
and this can be secured by the destruc-
ton Of the rooster. Every rooster not
intended especially for breeding,
should be killed or sold to the huckster
as soon as big enough to eat. Not over
one rooster should be kept on any farm
and that one cooped and mated with

On the ordinary farm, about one-tenth

about nine times as many as there can
be any possible use for.
UnferdliZed eggs are much sweeter
and better for table use, and will keep
from two to four times as long as

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Seven Killed i'll "a Fireworks Columbus Dax
Wind


Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. pa fright
full explosion ended the Columbus day
celebration here last night. A large
number of people, including many chill
dren, had gathered around the SPOT
where preparations were being made to
explode a piece of six-inch gas pipe
loaded with powder. The contrivance
exploded prematurely and caused dread
full havoc.
Seven persons were killed outright or
received injuries from which they died
soon afterwards. Besides these, it is
believed that at least five others were
killed or fatally injured, and a number
of others were seriously injured.
One man, named Theodore Rapp, was
standing near by, holding his two little
daughters by the hand. Both girls were
Instantly killed, the side of one of them
being entirely blown away.
The first body found was that of a Il
year-old newsboy, named Frank Ford.
A piece of gas pipe passed through his
body. The body Of another boy named
Louis Oden was found. The dead, as
FAR as known at present, are:
Frank Cohen, aged IA.
Agrita Cohen, aged 8.
Louis Oden, aged II.

FREAKISHNESS OF CHANCE.

Is Beyond Explanation, But it Points IA
Moral.
Harper's Young People: Chance is a
queer word, and chance is a queer
thing. Chance cannot ever be counted
on, and the chances are that those who
take chances miss the great chances OF
ife-Which is one of the queer things
about it. AS a further evidence Of the
peculiarities of chance, a western paper
narrates a singular instance. A wagon
loaded with gunp0wder, this paper
says, moving on a perfectly level road
near Wenachee, Washington, exploded
last week, while in the same week
another wagon loader with dynamite
drawn by four-horse team, went over
the grade not far from the same Spot
and rolled one hundred feet without
doing a bit Of damage.
The freakishness of chance was never
more fully illustrated than by this
episode. 1t is one Of those things which
defy explanation, but which point a
moral. The moral is: Don't take
chances.

TIE WISHING WELL.
\ Curious Relic of Superstitious Times in
Ireland and Wales.

Detroit Free Press: The wishing well
is an institution known in many cOun-
tries, and superstition is one of the old
est, the ancients giving gold and silver
to springs of water that were supposed
to contain miraculous properties.
The Indians of Colorado and Greasers
of New Mexico have their sacred wells
where they offer sacrifices and make
lamentations. In Wales the wishing
well has much to do with love affairs
as it has also in Ireland. At these wells
the love-sick maiden appears with her
pail, chanting the meanwhile the fol
lowing spell:
water, water, tell me truly,
Is the man that I love duly
On the earth or under the sod,
Sick or Well-in the name of GOd?"
At another wishing well in Wales
young ladies make pilgrimages and ask
the patron saint, st. Catherine, for a
husband after this fashion:
"a handsome one, st. Catherine;
A rich one, st. Catherine;
A nice one, st. Catherine;
And very soon, St Catherine"
The well of st. Madron is another IA
nous WEIGH institution:
Plunge your hand in St. Madron's
"rIng,

bring;
But if a false palm your fingers bear

1t is said to insure the charm if the
person seeking the wish drop a crooked
pin into the well. At the wishing well
in WOOler, Northumberland, the crook
ed pins thrown in by love-distaugh,
maidens can be seen in great quaint
ties on the bottom.
1t is not always that the charm of the
