A Deadly Detection Sent by Mall to a
SOmervilIe Man.

SoMERvILLE. Jan. 20. "A package arrived at
the postaffce here three weeks ago addressed 10
William Meaney. There was a shortage OF post
age on IT., and word was sent to Mr.. Meaney re-
questing him to call and get the package. He
was out of town, however.
The postmaster picked up the package Thursday
and | n handling il was convinced that ii was un-
maable matter. 1t was opened and was found to
contain letter and half pint flask. The letter
was addressed to Mr., Meaney, and purported to
be from the Los Angeles Wine Co., OF Kentucky.
II asked Mr.. Meaney to become the agent OF the
company In this section.
One OF the clerks in the office opened the flask
and smelled the contents. The smell was peculiar
as though the wine had been spiced. He placed
the flask to his lips and poured few drops into
his mou tn. The moment he did so he spit 1t out,
but not before his tongue had been badly burned,
A portion of the contents sent at once to be
analysed, and yesterday the report was made that
the wine was only In small percentage and the
remainder was carbolic acid or the active princi-
pie of IT, The letter was dated from Louisville,
Ky The handwriting was similar to that OF COM
municatons recently sent to local newspaper
yillifying Mr.. Meaney.
The letters which are In the possession of the
ed tor will be sought for and compared with that
in the package. Mr. Meaney has lived here several
years and Is highly esteemed. His friends, on
learning OF the attempt on his life at once began
search for him.

FIT FOR A KING.U
The ROYAL Blue Line, Railroad That
Eclipses Regality Itself.


"a royal train, believe me-" Shake
speare makes one OF his characters exclalm
in King Henry VII. And to one who
looks for the first time upon the sumptu.
GUS glories OF Royal Blue Line train the
idea of regaity must instinctively suggest
itself. Indeed, it may well be questioned
whether any of the potentates Of the Old
World enjoy such surperb facilities of
travel as those which are at the service
of the uncrowned kings of unmonarchical
America, whose every citizen is sovcr-
eign.
AS an example of the pitch of perfec.
ton to which the science of transportation
has attainded in this country, take the
famous route OF travel between New York,
Philadelphia and Washington, known as
the Royal Blue Line. II has been termed
the highest type of the fin de steele rail-
| road But it is more-it reaches decade
| or two into the possibilities Of the next
century, prophecy, so to speak, turned
| into an actually, and courier that moves
far in advance of the main body OF railway
progress.
To particuldriZe, the Royal Blue Line
connects Philadelphia with New York
and New England to the eastward, and
with b Gilmore and Washington to the
southwark, with connections reaching
Florida, New Orleana, and the great EN-
pire of the Southwest. II is composed OF
portons of the Central Il. X. OF New Jer-
| 1t..i IL. a.. G., In
Baltimore & Ohio Railroads. AS the
Reading Railroad was the first to establish
two-hour trains between New York
and Philadelphia, so was this 'triple al
lance the pioneer in giving the public
five-hour trains between the Metropolis
and the National Capitol. The trains are
notable for their unique construction and
celebrated for their sumptuous elegance
and comfort. The fast time made on the
Royal Blue Line is n matter of wide no.
toriety, and II continues to hold the only
properly authenticated record for the high
est speed ever attained by any railway
in the world.
The trains from Philadelphia TO New
York and to Washington comprise sched-
ule ample in xtent and admirably adjusted
as to time OF departure, most OF them con-
Meeting closely with trains coming In over
the various lines Of the Reading Syste m
from the eastern and central portions Of
Pennsylvania. All OF these connections
are made beneath the roof Of the magnifi
cent Reading Terminal, the most beautiful
as well as one Of the most extensiv,
railway stations in the world. For thu
further convenience Of travellers, through
tickets and baggage checks to oil import
ant points reached by or via the Roya
Blue Line are supplied at most of thu
Reading Railroad stations Throughout
Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

A Joke on Pa.

Quite an amusing incident occurred q
few nights ago in the First Ward which
rather provoked the "head of the family.
1t seems that barrel of cider had been
placed in the yard in the afternoon by a
West Amwel farmer, and, it being so
late, it was not stored in The cellar. The
boys conceived the idea that it would be o
good joke to get up dummy and play a
trick on the father some time during the
night. Accordingly a dummy was rugged
up cut of some old clothing and about ~
O'Clock it was placed in position in front
of the barrel, as If in the act of sucking
out of the bung hole. 1t was beautiful
night and the electric light added lustre to
the moons pale CLEANS. The father was
awakened very suddenly and told that
some one was stealing cider. 1t took but
a moment for the head of the family ,
to get up and take in the situation. He
did not wait TO get on his clothing, but
quietly slipped down the back stairs, open
ed the back door and but a moment in
tervened before that dummy was flying in
the air, the result of tremendous kick
| from the bare foot which ordinarily is
covered by No. 0 shoe. Had it not been
for the disappearance Of the sons there
would have been other kicks TO follow.
After good nights rest, however, the
anger turned 10 pleasure and the joke was
enjoyed by all the family, and no one
than pa. Still, he will not care to have
you ask him about the little episode, as it
only leaked out by one Of the neighbors
happening to be up at the window and
seeing the "clrcus."

1t is not by any means novelty to
propose legislation by which contests over
elections TO the House of Representatives
might be decided on their merits, instead
OF being settled according to the political
complexion Of the House to which they
are referred. The present effort to pass
a bill giving the United States District
Courts first Jurisdiction in such cases
seems to have some prospect Of success.
The knowledge that their opponents are
coming into power doubtless tends to pro-
mote love of fair play in the Democratic
majorities In Congress.

Below we give samples of the stuff
that the daily papers arc publishing as
Lambertville news.
As to the story about the water works,
1t is without the least particle of truth.
The "Stryker building !" fire consisted In
a spittoon getting en- fire. Damage prac-
tically nothing. The Coryell monument
is not in bad condition; the inscriptions
are perfectly legible, and it didn't take
any research Ito discover that he was
one OF the pall-bearers at Washington's
funeral, for 1t is so stated on the monu-
ment.
Rats have been injurlng the reservoir and dam
of the water company which supplies Lambert
vile with water, and the company has a standing
offer OF reward for every rat killed A few days
ago the water was drawn from the reservoir to
allow repairs In the dam. This exposed the hiding
places Of the rats, and dozens OF men and boys
have been at the dam for the last two days killing
holes with waste smoked in tar, and fall an easy
prey to guns and pistols.
FLEMrNGToN, January rs. Rats gnawing on
matches fired the Striker building at Lambert
vile at o'clock this morning. The building is
located in the business part Of the town. Dr. HarN
rson discovered the fire, and with the assistance
Of neighbors succeeded In quenching it. The loss
will probably reach $500.
While looking over the ancient tombstones in
the cemetery back of the Presbyterian Church at
Lambertville the other day, a local writer found
a granite monument covered with dirt and about
ready to fall There was long inscription on 1t
which 1t required some time to decipher. Finally
he made out the following:
Here lies the body of George Coryel, who died
aged 81 years. brother member with General
Washington of Lodge No. o. The poet has told his
character: A Wit, Feather, Chief, Rod, an
honest man, the noblest work ofGod.'
Some researches disclosed that the shaft in
question marked the grave Of one of Washing ton s
pail bearers. The Coryell family was at one time
among the most prominen in this part of the
State. Most of them moved away, however, years
ago. There are branches of the family in the
upper part of Hunterdon county and also in Som
