LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.
Syndicate Of Capitalists Interested in the
Monticello Extension.

President Haines of the Monticello
r. r. Co. is in town today, accom-
panied by the representative of a
syndicate of capitalists, who will
probably furnish the money for the
much talked of extension of the
Monticello from Summit vile to
Kingston.
The particular purpose of the lat
ter's visit is to satisfy himself and
those herepresents thatall the debts
and obligations of the old Monticello
Company have been extinguished
and are not in any way a lien or
encumbrance on the property of
the present company.
OF course proof Of this fact was
easily furnished and now, it is un-
derstood, funds will be forthcoming,
not only for the extension above
mentioned, but probably also for the
Delaware Valley to the coal fields.
The uniform success which has
hereto attended the plans of Presid-
ent Haines warrants the belief that
the present project will be carried
into execution with all possible dis
patch.-The Union, Dec, ,

a mysterious force, the termination
of the seed depends on the conditions
of light, heat and moisture. Seeds
will germinate in a temperature
verving from 327 to % > Eahtq qu-
h 1T. Experiments have been mdde
showing that plants grow at night
as well as day time, though much
more slowly, The quantity of seed
of given kind required for an acre
depends on the quality, and the full
fillment of the conditions necessary
TO growth as well as the character of
the land.
Prof. John Hamilton was then in
troduced and gave the best talk ON
roads, what they are and what they
should be and how to make them so.
There are enough miles of road in
Pennsylvania to go three times a.
round the world and twice to San
Francisco exclusive of streets in
boroughs and cities. Over $4,000
miles. These roads cost in 1894 to
keep in repair over $4,000, 900, SOL
per mile, And they have been cost
ing that sum for years and are no
better now than 20 years ago. He
illustrated the picnic method of road
working and the tools used. Worn
out shovels, plows and stone ham
mers. These he would abolish, and
procure a stone crusher, Crushed
rock can be made for 65 cents Il
cubic yard. He clearly demonstrated
that stone ballast inches thick and
Z feet wide can be put ON all the
roads in the state in Z years for the
same tax as is now raised.
The roads should be kept round so
the water will run off and not al
lowed to hollow out in the center.
During heavy rains they should be
watched so as to prevent the begin
ping of a wash,
He is practical supervisor, and
condemns the method proposed to
have county and township engi-
neers, The supervisor should be
elected for three years, and the road
tax should be cash, with the prive-
lege to work it out, provided man
worked.
His address was a most clear, for
cible, convincing and common sense
presentation of the question.
After this the institute elected the
following officers for the ensuing
year: John M. Aldrich, chairman /;
J. H. Van Etten, secretary.

that the consumer Chose who buy

States from one to twenty-five per
cent. more than is necessary, simply
from the fact that they do not keep

long could a merchant avoid failure
were he to use such lax methods in
making his purchases p? One would
quickly say such a dealer was a
failure from the beginning, then
why do you use this method in a
small way ? 1t would cost you but

CARNIVAL COLORS.

a Box of Them Floated Ashore From
the Wreck of the Humboldt.
A gentleman in this city is the pos
SCISSOR of knot of carnival colors that
has a history.
Just after the wreck of the Inflated
steamer Humboldt off the coast of Mem
docino County, about two weeks ago,
while the passengers who had been saved
were forlornly sitting upon the shore, a
little pasteboard box was washed ashore
On being opened 1t was found to contain
three sets OF carnival colors. Andrew
Waldron, who with his wife were among
the shipwrecked passengers. secured one
of them and sent it to a friend here, with
an account OF the accident.
No one on the boat knew anything
about it, or how it came on board, but it
is probable that the box WAS sent by
some one TO friend in Eureka or else
where.
The fame of Sacranento's carnival has
been spread over all the land, and even
the sea. it seems, helps to disseminate it.

barely escaping with their lives. All
they saved was little clothing.
Mrs. Wilson first discovered the fire
and aroused her husband, but it was too
late to save any of the household effects.
There was insurance of $500 on the house,
and 800 on the furniture. which will
nearly cover the loss.
Chief Engineer Guthrie has an idea
that he may be able to discover some
thing about the origin. of the fire. His
suspicion Ia based chiefly on the fact that
on the preceding day Mrs. Wilson began
suit for divorce alleging extreme cru
city on the part of her husband.
Recently Mrs. Wilson filed home
stead on the property, which is said to
have angered her husband and caused
him to treat her roughly. Chief Guthrie
thinks there may be found in these facts
some clew to the origin of the fire, and he
intends to investigate the matter.
