New York, Jan. 1.-Nathan r.
Phelps to-day recovered a verdict
against the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad for $4,000 damages
for the loss of both legs in an accident
on the defendant road.
Phelps was brakeman, and in Sep
tember, 1898, he jumped from the top
of a box-car to one loaded with ma
nure. The manure slipped under him,
and he was thrown under the car,
which passed over his legs, crushing
them so badly that it was necessary
to amputate one at the hip and the
other below the knee. Phelps sued for
$50, 900.

RED Cross ZOE cuRA.
Services of This Humane Association
Officially Offered

Officially offered.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE American
National Red Cross association off,
cially rendered it's services in Cuba
through it's president a month ago and
later Miss Clara Barton, the president,
offered the individual services Of her
self and assistants, as in the relief ex-
petition to Turkey; the two necessary
conditions being that acceptance and
entry be afforded by the Spanish gov
ernment and that the funds needed to
supply such relief be provided, as was
the case in Armenia, by the American
people. Up to the present time not a
dollar of contributions from any source
has been offered, and the Spanish gov
ernment is still holding the Red Cross
proposition under advisement.

Crops of all kinds In the Green and
White river valleys are immense, and

Little else Is talked OF here now but

THE COST DIVIDED
New Jerseys Road Improvement Law
LIS just and Fair.


The farmers Of the country are gradr
ually going over to the belief that good
roads are for their personal benefit and
there Is Il decided change of sentiment
along the line in many of the states
One OF the chief obstacles to the reform
has been the fear of the farmers thar
the cost of highway improvements
would fall chiefly on them and as they
feel that they are already burdened
heavily enough they resist the passage
of good-roads laws with their local in
fiuence and their votes often to the de;
feat of these worthy projects. New
Jersey has law now in force, however,
that illustrates how properly this bur-
der can be divided between the individ-
lal and the community so that it falls
| lightly upon the farmer. This law APP
portions the cost of all road improve
Inents as follows: One-third is paid by
beneficiary of the improvement, the
owner of the abutting property, and the
remainder by the county in which the
improvement occurs. Reduced to q
scale of thirtieths the state pays ten
parts, the individual three parts and
TIL county seventeen parts. Stated in
still another way the various burdens
are more easily appreciated. The aver
age cost of repairing a road with a
macadam finish is about $4,000 mile.
OF this sum the county would pay ST.
TOO. the state ST 900 and the individual
$500. 1t is to be remembered that the
5000 in this case is usually divided
among several persons, as few proper
ties in this section of the country ex-
tend for much more than a quarter or
half mile along a highway, and the
tax Is assessed on the owners on each
side of the road. Thus il will frequent
Is occur that the individual will pay di-
rectly for n first-class road in front of
his property and for a mile adjacent
such a small sum as $40 or $50. To be
sure he pays as well his share of the
county tax and in less proportion his
part of the state tax, but these burdens
are comparatively light and easily
borne. These improvements in New
Jersey are undertaken on the petition
| OF the owners of the abutting property.
Such laws rs this, if copied in other
states, would probably result in an i'm
mediate betterment of the country
roads in every section, an improvement
os untold benefit to millions of people.

RURAL EXISTENCE.
building of Good Roads VIII Make
1t Delightful Indeed.

Neutrality-suspicious. inrural mail de-
livery have been made ii has been found
towork most uccessfully-during clear
weather when the roads were all right.
Which indicates how indissolubly
good roads and the uplift of the social
life of the farm.
The time has come when the Ameri-
can farmer must sit down to think out
this question of good roads and how to
get them. 1t is not an exaggeration to
say that to the future of American agri-
culture few things bear so important n
relationship as does the question of
good roads. Indeed, If the generation
now growing up on the farm is to be
kept on the farm, better social advan-
tages will be found absolutely neces-
sary, and what single thing could con-
tribute so much as good roads to the
elevation of life upon the farm?
But the whole question Is being dis
cussed in desultory and indeterminate
way, which promises nothing for the
future. Organized effort, in which the
wheclmen of the town and the farmer
of the country should stand shoulder to
shoulder, must be put forth if substan-
tial advance is to be made. With the
harvests out of the way, there should be
set on foot n movement looking to this
erN-
With good roads farm life will have
MI the delights of rural existence, to
which will be added the advantages of
the town, of daily mail, of social in
tercourse with neighbors, of musicales
and lectures brought near. Good roads
will transform the farm, which so many
