INJUNCTION IGNORED.
Railroad Company Laid Tracks and q
Small Riot Ensued.

small Riot Ensued.
MILLvILLE, n. j., May 1S-The South
Jersey railroad yesterday succeeded in
laying its tracks at the Woodbne cross
ing. 1t effected this move by crossing the
tracks of it's rival. the West Jersey road,
notwithstanding the injunction issued by
the supreme court.
At midnight the South Jersey company
brought big gang of laborers down to
the crossing. The West Jersey watch
man, who slept in the security of the in
junction, was seized. bound and gagged.
and the crossing quickly effected. Super
visor-inC Chief Chenowith Of the West
Jersey road ordered his men to tear up
the South Jerseys tracks when he ar
rived at the spot The gangs Of the rival
roads were lined.
Words followed, Snt then blows, and
then all hands pitched in with spades and
picks, while number drew their knives
The battle waged was fierce and de-
termined, the South Jersey men being
finally routed aud put to flight. Eleven
men were found to have been badly in
iured, among them Superintendent Lutz
of the South Jersey road.
Justice Cheeseman and force Of dep
uty sherifs arrived on the scene later,
armed with warrants for the arrest of the
South Jersey officials for provoking riot
and disobeying the mandates Of the
courts. Supervisors Stubbs and Cheno-
with were arrested, but the others made
their escape on the train which brought
them. The justice held court in freight
car and held both prisoners in $500 bail,
which was furnished.

have been an attentive listener, for
some time, to complaints INDUCED in
quite freely by many of the people of
Freeland and vicinity who attend plays
at Hazeton. These people, it appears,
have fondled their hobby frequently
since the trolley has been in operation,
and while they have and are yet willing
to pay for their hobby, they are also
preparing to draw the line when they
are singled out as the victims of ex-
tortion. The trouble lies in what APP
pears to them scheme to "bleed" the
theatre-goers of the North Side, and
it would require but little prompting to
have them blurt right out that the opera
house management does not try to pre-
vent it.
When company which has reputa-
ton of giving its patrons the worth of
their money is billed for Hazeton, they
say that autographs are strewn promis-
cuously throughout the show windows
in Freeland, but when it comes to pur-
chasing tickets it is quite another thing
the diagram is closed before the people
of the North Side can get glimpse of
it; still, on the night of the play, such of
them who go, can find diagram tickets
hawked quietly on the streets to North
Side people at exorbitant prices, the
presumption being that they will buy
rather than return home again without
seeing the play, and upon two occasions,
in particular, the supposition was cor
rect.
"Power of the Press" played there.
The diagram had been open but very
short time when notice at the ticket
window announced standing room
only" but on the evening of the play,
tickets in blocks of from five to fifteen
were in the hands of persons outside
who sold them at % and so cents above
the regular prices, and shortly before
the curtain raised these tickets were
still being sold and at the ticket window
standing room was refused. Strangely
enough, many of these tickets found
their way to Freeland people, who
bought rather than go home, while resi-
dents of Hazleton were refused ad-
mission.
The second instance was for the play
of ''Princess Bonnie" On that occasion
the diagram was also "cornered' in
short order and the usual announcement
was to be seen at the ticket window.
On the night of that play men were in
front of the opera house and at various
places along that square selling tickets
at 80 cents and 81 above the prices
charged by the management. When or
how these parties came into possession
of them is a part Of the business which
is not sold with the tickets, but when
each of these persons held from S. to
Sl7 worth of admissions to accommodate
the North Side people by extortion, the
scheme seems deeply laid and rather
suspicious. SAUNTERER.

Making Progress.

The young fellow was extremely
difident, and very much in love
with the girl.
He had made several attempts TO
offer her his heart and hand, but on
each occasion he had fallen short.
To add to the seriousness of the
situation, the girl was ready to ac-
cept him as soon as the proposal
was in definate shape.
Even the mother was willing,
but latterly she had grown tired of
the dilatory tactics and Fabian pol
icy of the suitor, and had kicked on
his coming so often and staying so
late.
One night, after three hours of
struggle on his part, and much del

Chew Gum.

Gum has at last found its mis-
sion. An eminent NJ. D. recently
gave it as his opinion that in fevers
where patients were fed largely up
on liquid foods, the salivary glands,
from inaction, became partly par.
alyzed. To counteract this, which
was sure to lead to Indigestion and
a dyspeptic condition of the stom-
ach, this doctor recommends that
the patient be made to chew gum.
This, he said, would make the sail.
vary glands act, and yet not give
the stomach work on solids, which
would be the case if food were DO.
ing masticated instead. This en-
inent authority did not state, how.
ever, that it is not necessary to
chew gum outside the privacy Of
ones own chamber.

Our Railway Mileage.

The railroad mileage of the
United States increased only about
1000 miles during 1884, making
the total, in round numbers, 1875, 900
miles. The climax of railway con-
struction was reached in 1882, dur
ing which year the mileage increas-
ed 1850 miles. The year 1878,
the last year of shrinkage of values
preceding the business revival which
eliminated 1880, gave an increase
of only 1855 miles, but it was not
business depression alone that
checked railway construction in
1884. The increase Of mileage has
been greater than the increase Of
population and commerce, so that
time must be allowed for the ma
tion to grow up to the railway fa-
cilities already provided. Impor-
tant lines are yet to be constructed,
and undoubtedly the mileage will
creep steadily upward for a long
time to come, but no expansion like
that of the last fifteen years can be
expected. In 1859, when the last
spike of the Union and Central Pa
cific was driven at Ogden, Utah,
the railway mileage of the United
States was less than $4,000 miles.
The magnitude of the expansion
can be understood by remembering
that the present mileage of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland is less than 10000
miles, or only about three times
that of the State of New York.
This comparison will be sufficient
to indicate to any intelligent person
that it would be folly to expect rail-
way construction in the United
States to continue at anything like
its rate for the last fifteen years,
and the most marvellous develop
ments may be witnessed in other
parts of the world. England is
considering the project of construct
ing 10000 miles of railway in India,
and the plans for the expenditure
of $l50,0OO,00O have already been
drawn. China is not an inviting
field for railway constructors, but
Japan is and Africa may soon be.

That's What it Was.

Prince Peter, of Olderburg, il
chief of the imperial colleges for

Office with diligence. Lately he de-

whether there were grounds for the
numerous complaints which had
reached him of the food at the
Smolnig convent, where something
like eight hundred girls were edu-
Gated.
Going to the institution just be.

soldiers carrying II huge steaming

added the prince.
The spoon was produced; but one

stammertd remonstrance.
Hold your tongue, sir, cried the
prince. Take off the lid, ! insist

No further objection was raised,
and His Higbness took a large spoon
ful of the liquid.
