WESTMINSTER COUNTY.
THE NEED OF A MORE COMPLETE troll
LEY SYSTEM.

AT PRESENT THE LINES ARE FRAGMENTARY-AN
EXTENSION CONNECTING THE RIVER AND
THE SOUND WANTED BY RESIDENTS.
The great need Of Westchester County inter-
communication is the completion of the projected
trolley lines that will connect the Hudson River
towns with those on Long Island Sound. The
trolley line system in the upper and middle portions
of the county is incomplete at present. sing olhs
has an excellent trolley service but 1t really runs
from nowhere to nowhere. 1t commences at the
New-York Central Railroad station. runs up the
hill" that Is the inevitable possession OF all the
Hudson River towns. and then one branch runs
southwark for about mile and ends, while the
other branch goes as far east as the camp-meetng
grounds where 1t likewise finds a terminus. The only
extension at present contemplated by the Sing sing
line is continuation Of Its tracks east to Pleasant
ville distance of about five miles which will form
q desirable union Of the Hudson River and Harlem
divisions of the Central Railroad.
White Plains, the county seat, situated In the IN
terror Of the county, has splendid trolley line ana
upon its extension to Mamaroneck on the south.
and Tarryto on the west. rest the hopes OF the
public Interested In obtaining an across-county
union of the river and Sound districts. 1t seems
probable that the building OF the section Of the
White Plains system between tina: village and
Mamaroneck will begin within month. AS matters
now stand. the White Plains road runs as far west
as Elmsford. and then there is gap OF some two
town is reached. AS a certificate has been refused
to the proposed Tarrytown trolley line by the State
Railroad Commissioners. 1t is expected that the
White Plains line will obtain the necessary franchise
from the Greenburg authorities. that of the au-
thorites of Tarrytown village having already been
granted, and that, in a short time at least before
the beginning Of the Westchester County Fair. In
September whose grounds are along the line. II
viii have cars in operation; Then If the Mamaroneck
section In the mean time has been completed. there
will be admra BILE means of rapid and direct COM
municaton between the Hudson River and the
Sound.
The completed line between Tarrytown. White
Plains and Mamaroneck will by no means be con-
venience for business and practical purposes alone
but will afford most enjoyable trip for pleasure
seekers and sightseers. To be able to obtain at
small cost and within a few hours time, sight
of the Hudson and the Sound together with the de-
lghtful scenery of the interior Of Weschester
County, will attract thousands Of passengers daily
at almost every season In the year. And for those
living in either the Sound or river sections OF the
county having business to transact at the county
seat the completed trolley system will be great
convenience, both In the matter of direct and quick
communication and the reduced cost Of transporta-
tion.

STRANGE ACCIDENTS TO BIRDS.

A poor little chaffin was found dead
near EPSON with its lower mandible
SO firmly ilnbedded- in the shell of
beechnut that it had been unable 70
extric6te ii and had died of starvation.
A hen pheasant was observed by q
sportsman to be flying around and
around in n wild manner. On being shot
it was discovered to have q large oak
leaf impaled upon it's beak in such q
way as to totally obscure it's vision.
Hcrons sometimes choke themselves
by attempting to swallow large trout.
An eider-ducl1 has been killed by at
tempting to swallow n toad. A king
fisher was once found which could not
fly on account of having a young pike
stuck in it's throat. Some hunters re-
unhurt.
An Irish naturalist once observed a
dumlin acting in n very curious manner
on the seashore. The bird would
alight, then fly a short distance and
then alight again, violently shaking it's
head. A round lump appeared fastened
to its beak. 1t turned out that the bird
had innocently attempted to investi
gate a cookie which it had found open.
The shell had closed on it's bill.
Birds that employ nair in the build
ing of their nests come to grief in
strange ways. A gentleman who pos
sessed several colts one day noticed e
small bird entangled in the tail of one
of his colts. 1t had evidently been on Il
search for hair and had become en-
shared. Cases of birds getting their
feet entangled in wool or string arc
we'll known, and death usually ensues
if human help is not forthcoming.

A recent development in the use Of
steel in the buildings is in the line of
ceilings. Sheets Of thin steel stamped
with appropriate ornamental designs
are substituted for plaster.
