The Sewer Question.

Iaa short time the people of Fleming
ton will be called upon to decide by vote
whether or not they will adopt the sewer.
age system which other large towns have
adopted. Our Board of Commissioners
now have an elaborate survey and map OF
the town, as furnished by the civil eugi-
neer engaged for that purpose, and also a
full description OF the route proposed
with cost, etc. The latter will be issued
in pamphlet form during the week, and a
copy thereof given TO every taxpayer for
his careful perusal. The cost OF the work
is estimated at about 1877, 500. Hunter
don Democrat.
The above shows that when the Com
missiouers of Pennington set about doing
anything, they do it. The idea of having
sewers in Pennington was conceived some
time after the Commissioners for that
purpose were appointed in this city, ut
now they have surveys completed, plans
adopted, etc, while our Commissioners
has not yet been heard from. So far as
the Council aud the public have heard by
any report, nothing has been done.
The question of sewers in this city is a
most important one, and money expend-
ed 10 put them in would be better spent
than for electric light plants, street paw
ing or other improvements. In fact, it
seems insufferably stupid to first pave the
streets and then tear them oil up to put
In sewers. Sewerage is the first necessity
of any large town that claims to have for
its inhabitants mere than half-civilized
people.

Lehigh Breaks Away.


The lease of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company to the Reading Railroad, which
was effected on February 18th, 1892, was
yesterday dissolved by the Directors of the
leased road, who asserted the right of
breaking the agreement through de.
fault OF the Reading In the payments Of
its obligations under that document.
This action was not wholly unexpected,
but the majority OF people interested
were OF the belief that the break in the
relations Of the companies would be ac-
complished by the REIMBURSEMENT OF the
leased road by the Reading, and not
through the direct action OF the Lehigh
Directors, which is the case.
The latter, 10 their announcement de-
clared that they have repossessed them
selves of the entire property devised I'M
der the lease, and that they recover it at
the beginning OF period OF the year
which has always been for them one Of
unusual prosperity, and they express con 3.
viction that no interest will be deteriorat-
ed, but, on the contrary, eventually i'm
proved by their action.
The breaking of the lease yes erday was
brought about by the continual default OF
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company 10 the sums due the LehIgb
Valley Coal Company, under agreement
made at the time OF the lease Of the roads.
1t is provided in the lease that II that
agreement between the coal companies
each Of which is controlled by its respec-
tive road-should be terminated for any
reason, then the lease of the LehighValley
Railroad to the Reading should also at
once be terminated.

Electric Light,

Messrs. Leiber s. Weller, who recently
procured an ordinance enabligg to con-
struct an electric light plant in Fleming
ton, on Friday of last week filed their
bond in the sum Of SO, 00O,a as provided by
the arrangement made by our Street Com
missioners with these gentlemen. This
bond is guaranteed by the Camden Trust
Company, and puts at rest all doubt as to
the fact that we are soon to have electric
light. partial canvass of our town has
been made by Mcssrs Leiber s. Weller and
they have contracted already for quite a
number OF their incandescent lights, and
they expect to begin the construction OF
their plant as soon as they can make pro-
per arrangements for its location. The
Central Railroad Company and the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company have suitable
locations, and the plant will no doubt be
located on lands OF one or the other oil
these Companies. The very favorable
terms on which our Commissioners have
secured this light for our citizens, deser.
yes our hearty thanks-Denocrat- Ad.

x.P. $. G. E. Local Union nseetlng.

The twelfth meeting of the Hunterdon
County Local Union Y. P. s. q. E was
held Friday evening, 2lst ult., in the
Presbyterian Church of Mount Plea
SAINT. AT an early hour large loads of En-
deavorers began to assemble at the church
and at 7:45, the hour for beginning the
services, the pleasant audience room was
filled and the chairs placed in the aisles.
The song service Of fifteen minutes was
entered into heartily and an earnest prayer
session followed. About two thirds of the
societies responded to the roll call. MIR. B.
F. Robbins, the delegate to Montreal con-
vention, made an excellent report which
seemed to carry one iuto the great conven-
ton hall. Mayor Esly, Of Clinton, Rev.
w. E. Davis, of Lebanon, and Mrs. F. H.
Cooper OF Lambertville, also spoke in an
earnest spirit of the convention. After
singing, the meeting adjourned. 1t was

Taking Foul Air from a Well.

A correspondent Of Western paper
says: raw curious method used. the
other day in Illinois, to take foul air out
of a we'll The well was to be cleaned
but the man that took the job was afraid
to go down until he had ascertained the
quality of air at the bottom. He let down
lighted candle; when 1t descended to
abont six feet OF the bottom 1t went out
as suddenly as though extinguished by q
Whit of air. That was all he wanted to
know. He was then sure the well had
poisonous gas In II, and took small UNI
brela, tied string to the handle and
lowered it open in the well. Having let
it go nearly to the bottom, he drew 1t up,
carried 1t few feet from the well and
upset it. He repeated this operation
twenty or thirty times, with all the by
ISLANDERS laughing at him, then again he
lowered the light, which burned clear and
bright even ut the bottom. He then
condescended 10 explain that the gas in
the well was carbonic acid, which Is
heavier than air, and therefore could be
brought in an umbrella just as though 1t
were so much water. 1t was a simple
trick, yet perfectly effective.

The reportorial liar from Pennington
who so often telegraphs to the city papers
false news about Lamberlville, was at it
again last week. He r. ported that the
Lambcrtville Spoke Mfg. Co. would shut
down work on Saturday; that the shoe fac
tory was about to close up, and that the
Penns. shops were TO be put on eight hours
and close every Saturday; and further,
that our people were much discouraged at
the prospect.
The truth is that the spoke factory has
no idea of closing down, but is running
as usual. The report is calculated 10 in
jdre its business, and we understand that
Mr.. Finney, the head OF the company, is
inclined to see If there is not some remedy
for such lying reports.
As to the shoe factory, it closes down
every year for repairs. This year, owing
to better business than usual, it closed a
month later than heretofore. 1t will start
up in few weeks.
The men at the railroad shops have
been for some years and still are work.
ing nine hoars per day. They have been
set off on Saturdays, as have the men
at all other shops on the Pennsylvania
system.
So much for this bogus-news gatherer.

Mrs. Buchanan, wife of James Bu-
chanan, living about two miles from this
city, poured out some kerosene in a tea
cup on Sunday afternoon last, for the
purpose OF starting fire, and while she
attended to some other household du-
ties, set tie cup with the oil in il on the
table. A little two-year cid child seeing
the cup on the table and suppcsing it
contained water, drank about a half
cupful before discovering the mistake.
DR.. Larson was summoned as soon as
possible and rendered medical assistance
The child lay unconscious until Monday
and it was thought it would not recover.
AT the present writing, it shows signs Of
recovery, although not entirely out of
danger.

The Sherman law was passed as sub
stitute for frec-coinage. 1t has undonb ed
ly been less disastrous than would have
been free coinage law. Under it we
have been saved from the suffering which
woul1 result from money OF different val
ues. But it is evident that we cannot
much longer continue to add to our cur
rency money based upon silver values
without being compelled to use silver val
ues in the settlement Of accounts.
1t is probable that the mere fact that
the United States is storing up silver bull
lion is itself having depressing effect
upon the price of silver. The idea pre-.
walls that after time the government is
likely TO market this silver. The natural
effect of store of goods which may be
thrown on the market is 10 depress the
price OF the goods. In repeating the Sher
man law We do not recede from the policy
of making use of as large an amount of
silver money as is consistent with uni
formity in the value OF the dollar. l be-
lieve the United States ought to continue
the policy of trying to induce other nations
TO join in an united effort to maintain par
iiy Of gold and silver values. -Professor
j. Macy, of IONA College, in august
Reuie,o of Reviews.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1893-08-09

Repeal both the silver purchase and the
silver redemption clauses OF the Sheridan
bill. Make all paper money-greenbacks,
silver certificates and Treasury notes-re.
deemable in gold at the present standard
or In siiuer bullion at its market value.
Gold might then lose its significance. All
of 1t might then go to Europe. We should
still be on a gold basis, without the gold.
Then establish an elastic currency on q
paper basis redeemabe as above. APP
point National Monetary Commission re-
presenting different interests and including
monetary experts. Let the commission
establish a price barometer TO determine
the fluctuations OF general prices. When
prices fall let them expand the currency,
when prices rise let them contract. To
expand they can buy silver bullion and Is
sue legal tender bullion notes. To con-
tract they can sell bullion for The notes
and retire the latter. To prevent specu.
lation, let the commission issue notes TO a
limited extent without corresponding pur-

Mr.. EDITOR: "A certain correspondent,
whose cognomcn happens to be ''Swan,"
takes great pleasure, seemingly, in telling
us who all he noticed at the Pythian pic
mic, at Ellmaker Island. He also states
that many good stories could be written
concerning those who made trips across
the river, meaning thos', we presume,
VITO went over to slake their thirst with
something else besides water. Now the
funny part OF II is, how could man in
such a condition as we saw "Swan" in,
notice so many people, and how does he
know they went over to take a smile.
Was he there himself or perhaps he
brought it with him on the afternoon
train. Perhaps be can tell US in his next
''Swan" notes. From appearances he
certainly had some other companions be-
sides ''Swans." q
