STEEL RAILS ON ROADS.
Valuable Suggestion Made by the Gov
ernor of New Jersey.

Valuable Suggestion Made by the Gov
ernor of New Jersey.
The latest scheme for good roads
that of laying tracks of broad steel
rails along country roads and city
streets for the wheels of vehicles to run
on, thus greatly increasing the trac-
ton power of horses and th~ general
comfort and convenience of driving and
trucking-was suggested by Gov.
Werts, of New Jersey, In his last mes
sage. 1t apparently is an elaboration
and improvement of system of paw
ing used In some foreign cit
les which has proved very sat
isfactory. Gov. Werts' sugges-
ton, which is really the propo-
sition of Mr.. Budd. commissioner of
roads, is to lay double tracks of steel
along the country roads, filling in the
space between the rails with ordinary
will! draw on such a steel track 20 times
as much as on macadam. The unanimi-
ty with which drivers of all manner OF
vehicles in city streets take to the car
track clearly illustrates the idea.
Many of the streets along the line Of
docks In Liverpool, over which heavy
loads of all kinds are drawn to and
from the ships, have long slabs Of gran
tie, such as are used at crossings, laid
end to end In four parallel rows all
along the street, practically like car
tracks. The rest of the street Is paved
with Belgian granite set In the ordinary
manner. These wheel tracks of granite
slabs afford perfectly regular and
smooth surface for the trucks to run
on, while the granite sets give good
purchase for the horses. This style Of
paving has proved of great utility and
convenience. 1t Is much easier for the
horses than where the wheels have to
Jolt over the small sets, and they can
do much better work. 1t adds much to
public comfort, too, because the truck
ing is almost noiseless. The slabs wear
better than the small sets, because
there Is no irregular wear by joltipg
and scraping.
This system OF paving is in use in
some of the streets about the docks
of London, in Antwerp and many other
cities in Great Britain and on the con
tinent. OF course, steel rails would be
a great Improvement on the granite
slabs in many respects. Perhaps the
granite has an advantage over steel for
use in crowded city streets in that 1t
it not more slippery in wet weather
than is the rest of the paving, while
broad rails of steel might prove treach-
erous for horses where there Is much
| crossing of teams. Gov. Werts, how
ever, only suggested the use of steel on
| country roads.
Many of the streets of Sheffield and
other towns in the north of England
are paved with blocks of stone II to Is
inches long by to II inches broad.
These streets are practically IA smooth
as the sidewalks. The stone Is rougher
and softer than the granite. But while
this pavement is excellent for cabs and
other light vehicles, because Of its
| smoothness and comfort, il is not so
good for heavy trucking, especially in
wet weather, rs the horses are not able
! to get good purchase on the broad

Washington Boulevard, Chicago, ILL.,, was
born on farm in Wyoming County, N. Y,
90 years ago. AS young man he suffered
two sun strokes In the fields. When the war
broke out, he joined the 57th Illinois Volun-
teers, with which he served two years when
sickness forced his discharge. The effects
OF the sun strokes and his army life under
mined his health and he soon found his
brain, heart and kidneys were affected. For
eight years he was with the West Chicago
Street Car Company, but was forced to seek
lighter work, as the exposure increased his
bronchial and asthmatic troubles. He then
engaged with the Pan Handle Railroad
Company. For six years he served them in
different capacities. His constitution gradu-
ally but surely breaking down, strange
dizzy spells becoming more frequent, he
finally sought relief in DR.. Williams Pink

called for it about 6 A. NJ. She protest
ed, but the men declared it was her
last chance to get on the steamer. The
poor little woman was half blind with
sleep. She got up and flung the things
into the trunk-towels, tides, books,
anything that came to hand. Then
she sat on the trunk, got it locked,
popped into bed and was fast asleep
before they got out Of the room. In due
time she awoke with just an hour or SO
to get her bath and breakfast and get
down to the wharf, and then she found
that she hadn't a living stitch to her
back but the nightgown she stood in.
She went on her knees to the chamber
maid, she offered any monev for an
ulster and a veil, she begged the land
lord for his macintosh and a pair OF
boots-anything-anything, and she
arrived at the wharf in time TO see the
vessel sail out Of the dock. Her trunks

Of persons who hold property in this
county which they bought from time
to time from the County Commission
ers in various ways will be rendered
uneasy by the fact that the county can
take it away from them at any time
they see fit. The law, which Judge
Cheney's decision is in accordance
with, says that the only way that the
County Commissioners can transfer
any property that comes into their pos
session through the fact that the taxes
upon the same have been delinquent
is to publish the fact and hold a sale
by public auction. II assessed less
than 800 the Commissioners may post
the sale in three places within the
county instead Of publishing and ad-
vertising and hold the sale by public
auction. Then they may transfer the
property thus sold to the purchaser.
All other transfers OF property by the
County Commissioners are held to be
invalid.
A number Of such illegal transfers OF
property have been made in Storey
county within the past few years. The
Ease in which Judge Cheney handed
down the decision in Lyon county was
that OF County Va. Della Ross. The
defendant had bought property valued
at 81 800 from the County Commits
sioners for the amount OF the delin-
quent taxes, $40. She purchased the
property without 1t having been sdver-
tised, by q quiet agreement with the
Board.
When the Grand Jury met, II was
noticed that the sale Of this property
had not been advertised and the Grand
Jury ordered suit to be brought against
Della Ross for the recovery Of the prop
erty. The county retained Major Huff
aker as attorney and the defendant
was represented by All Chartz. The
