Groundhog Day.

Candlemas, or grounding day,
February 2nd, is drawing nigh.
On this day, according to popular
tradition, the ground hog prognos-
ticates the weather for the follow
ing six weeks. If clear, and he
sees his shadow, he again hunts
his hole for another six weeks
nap, but if cloudy he shakes the
kinks out of his tail, stretches his
limbs to see that they are in work
ing order, and commences to hunt
for grub. It is time then to oil the
plow and get ready for Spring
work.

To Blame or Not to Blame.

Two killed and three injured
is the record of an accident at
crossing Of the Erie railway just
north of the main station last Mon
day night. The victims were !:
Mary Ryan and Margaret Spillaine
killed, and Mrs. Thomas O'Brien
and the colored driver, Jno. Moore,
seriously injured. The team of
horses were also killed. The hour
was just past midnight. The
sleighriders had just come from
merry making at saloon and it is
said that they had a supply of
strong drink with them. The fact
that they came down Main ave-
nue. and made the short turn upon
the railroad tracks south of the
coal sheds is conclusive evidence
that they did not have control of
their horses or that they were un-
mindful of the train which was
approaching at their rear, and this
thought is confirmed by the fact
that the horses struck the engine
instead of the engine striking the
horses. To all thoughtful citizens
it is apparent that the accident
might have been averted, and
we do not see how the railroad
can be considered at fault in the
matter. The crossing which con-
meets Monroe street with Main
avenue has never been legally
opened by the city and cannot be
said to be street at that point.
When it is made a public highway
it will certainly be dangerous
one on account of the bend in the
road and the buildings near ii, and
IN all probability will then be pro-
tected by the Railroad. Notwith-
standing it was past midnight, on
a cold night, when people are not
expected to be traversing country
lanes, the engineer of the express
blew his whistle and his bell was
ringing as he approached the city s
numerous crossings, and he had
every reason to believe that per
sons on the streets, if any, would
take reasonable precautions fol
their own safety. The least driver
Moore might have done woulc
have been to have stopped while
on Main avenue twenty. FIVE feel

A Brilliant Wedding on Howe Ave.
The spacious parlors of the resi-
dencc of Mr.. and Mrs. S. M. Birch,
13o Howe avenue, were the scene
on Tuesday night of one of the
most fashionable gatherings which
has assembled in Passaic in a long
time. The occasion was the mar
riage of their daughter Jennie o.,
to Mr.. Jacob Vanderveer Smeaton,
of Tonawanda, N. Y.
Miss Birch is one of the most
popular young ladies of this city,
as we'll as one of its sweetest sing
ers, and the gathering Tuesday
evening was limited only by the
size of the house.

simply bewildering and during the
ceremony presented most beau-

and Mrs. Marcellus formerly Miss
Minnie Baker, of Clifton, and a
perfect bevy of young ladies
dressed in the most bewitching'
manner.
The bride wore a dress of rich
white Bedford cord with diamond
ornaments and white flowers and
her appearance was exceedingly
beautiful. The bridesmaid, Miss
Belle Cowdrey, wore dress of the
most delicate shade of pink silk,
and carried in her hand a massive
bouquet of La France roses of the
same delicate tint. Mr.. Thomas
Smeaton was best man and Mr..
E. R. Moody presided at the piano
and played the wedding march.
An excellent collation. and social
intercourse followed the ceremony.
The presents were elegant, expen-
sive and so numerous that we are
unable to publish the list, which
would fill a column of the RECORD.
The happy couple took the 1901
train for New York and from there
they started on an extended we'd
ding tour before settling in their
new home in Tonawanda. The
hearty good wishes of legion
of friends in this city will go
with them.

arS, for the second year of service shall
be eight hundred dollars, for the third

on the Calendar of the House. In report
ing the bill favorab1y to the House, the
Post-office and Post Road Committee IN
a strongly worded report ably advocated
its passage. The New Jersey Legislature
passed resolution, last winter in favor
of this bill. Every Congressman from
New Jersey has been interviewed, with
the exception of one, and havesexpressed
themselves as favorable to the bill. This
bill if passed will be as effectual for all
successful aspirants for the blue and gray
who will be appointed in the future as It
will be for all carriers whom retain their
positions by faithful service to the De-
partment and people. 1t should be the
duties of every carrier to help to dignity
and elevate our calling as well as to strive
for the betterment of our material con-
dition. Thousands of signatures of citizens
throughout the country have been secur-
ed by the carriers IN the various cities.
And now the carriers of Passaic feel that
if the bill does pass then they have
taken part in very worthy cause. Each
of the carriers will make an effort to
receive signatures in Passaic of all
whom are favorably inclined regardless
of creed or politics.
