NORTH HUDsoN's PLANS.
Connecting with the street Fro
the ELEVATED Rnad nm the Haiuhts

Connecting With the Street From
the Elevated Road on the Heights.
The North Hudson County Railway Com
pany put $50 men to work this morning
tearing up the streets and laying tracks on
Central, New York and Palisade avenues.
The men were divided into three gangs of
$50 each gang, under a separate foreman,
worked upon one of the above named
streets. One of the officials of the road, in
conversation with a NEWS reporter, said the
company expected to have the electric cars
running down to the elevator On Palisade
avenue two weeks from yesterday. "You
see,n he continued, las soon as the track is
laid on New York avenue, we will run the
electric cars down to meet the horse cars,
and by the time we reach the elevator all
the lines will be ready for operation by cleo
tricity. 1t will be a couple of months,
though, before we will be able to connect
the surface road with the elevator road, as
we nave got to change the platforms OF the
elevator cars to conform with the street ser
vice, and also change the stations on the
L line to conform with the street cars. This
will necessitate quite some time, but as |
said before. we hope to have it In operation
in two months, and possibly by the first OF
July if all goes well, and we meet with no
setbacks. When our road once gets run
ming, you may state in your valuable paper
that, without exception, it Will be the best
elevated road in New Jersey, and as good as
any in the world. There is no shoddy what
ever. either in the cars or the construction,
and everything used will be of the best ma
terial that is manufactured. The road will
be operated differently when it is completed
than it has been heretofore. Instead of
running north on New York avenue and
south on Palisade, it will be just the re-
verse. For instance, here is the new line of

up the elevator will leave the brow of the
hill at the foot of Ferry street and run north
along Palisade avenue TO West Hoboken.
The Central venue cars will branch Off
likewise and continue north on Palisade ave-
nue. to as far as Franklin street, where they
will go west to Central avenue thus to the
Paterson Plank Road. Returning, these
cars will turn into Ferry. street n run
east to New York avenue, thence south to
Ravine avenue, where they will turn east
and enter upon the elevator road at the
brow of the hill. The cars coming from
West Hoboken will continue straight down
New York avenue to Ravine. where they
will branch east and enter the elevator road
also at the brow of the hill. By this it will
be seen that the road will be operated in ex-
actly the opposite direction to what it is
now being operated. The power house on
-Paiisade avenue is having o new boilers
put in and a couple of new dynamos to
operate the sixty new motor cars that the
company intend running. Without a doubt
the road will be as perfect as is possible to
make one when it is completed"

BARNUM's COMING.

Some very unique and pretty sights are
given with the Barnum 6 Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth this season. By way of in
PRODUCTION to the sports and races on the
track a tournament has been devised be-
tween hunters mounted on jumping horses,
Cossocks on pure-blooded Arabian steeds and
others. The Mav-pole dance is beautifully
executed by expert horsemen and horse
women, succeeded afterwards by jumps and
leaps over high-barred gates, etc, together
with a realistic hunters meet showing
whole packs of coursing and fox hounds with
their ~whippers-in, etc. It is a very pretty
and novel introduction to the races, and APP
preciated by all who love high-class horse
manship. This new feature will be seen here
when the show arrives on May 16. The
show grounds will be located this year on

NEW STEAM ROAD TO PORT LEE

On Thursday afternoon the first train on
a new steam railroad from Weehawken to
Fort Lee will be run on the Palisade Steam
Railway. The road extends from the ter
minus Of the North Hudson County Steam
Railroad, along the edge of the Palisades, to

ate an extension to Englewood and Closten,
work already having been started.
These roads have long been needed, and
will undoubtedly prove q boom to property
in Nor h Hudson County.

There are two sides to every ques.

There are two sides to every ques-
ton. Even law itself does not escape
a double way Of looking at it. Else,
why is there so much litigation. A
title to real estate, in one lawyers
opinion, may be good. Another
may think otherwise and may take
the case to the Court of Errors and
Appeals, to prove that he is right.
Litigation is On expensive luxury,
however. which you can avoid by
