The mass is cast in mold with core

BIG LAND PURCHASE.


Five deeds were recorded in the Registers
office today showing the purchase of five
valuable tracts of land by the National
Dock Railway Company from Robert II.
Sayre. This land was acquired by Sayre
from the Morris & Cummins Dredging Com
pany. The consideration paid by the Ma
tional Dock Railway Company to Robert H.
one dollar
The property is situated along the Morris
Canal, and between it and Cavan Point. 1t
is meadow. Some of this land has for three
years been the subject of much litigation be-
cause the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
laid tracks there. 1t is believed that the
recent purchase win end the litigation.
The first deed recorded is for tract Of
3316 acres of meadow land between Cavan
Point Road and Morris Canal and many
years ago belonged to Nicholas Vreeland.
The second tract is horseshoe in shape,
bounded by loup of Cavan Greek. The
third tract is one and one-half acres on the
the east side of Cayan Point
Road, and the two other deeds call for
2,283 feet along the east side of the Morris
Canal, near Chapel avenue. 1t was along
this strip that the Lehigh Valley Company
laid the tracks that caused the litigation re-
ferred to. The tracks are there yet, but by
the purchase just made the National Dock
Company will claim ownership to the land.
All of the shore front along the lands just
acquired by the National Dock Company is
controlled by Morris & Cummins.

338 pounds of brown prismatic powder. The
charges are calculated SO as to give striking
velocity of .625 feet per second
