AFTER HARVEST.

After the harvest and toll is DER.
Rest for the weary and joy once more!
Thanks for the joy which the toiler wins
When the bright fires blaze and the dance
begins,
And there's time in the silence or song
to wait
For the kiss of you sweetheart at the
gate!
After the harvest-the hay stacked high
Under the stars of the cold, clear sky,
And away to the woodlands the wagon
whirls
And we're out for a ride with the rosy
girls!
After the harvest the bright eyes glance
And love makes the music and leads the
dance!

Since the introduction Of trolley
cars IN Long Branch more injunctions
and writs OF certiorari have been ap-
piled for by dissatisfied property
owners than in any other city in New
Jersey. The Atlantic Coast Electric
Railway, after two years of hard
fighting, succeeded at an enormous
cost in completing a double track
road within the city limits, Numer-
Gus injunctions and other writs were
granted, but the company, with much
difficulty, overcaIne them ALL The
Long Branch Electric Railway Com
pany, which wanted to lay double
track road down Broadway, escaped
the courts by falling to get sufficient
consents to entitIe it to a hearing up
on its application before the Mayor
and Board of Commissioners

and Long Branch Electric Railway
Company, which q year ago conplet-
ed line between Red Bank and the
end of the city corporation line, and
which has now partly completed its

troubles. Having succeeded in OBJ
tanning a franchise on a line parallel
v it'll Broadway, after buying the
rights of way at a cost of $50, 600 or
more, the work of building the road
was begun in earnest six weeks ago
with determination to be ready for
travel by July at the latest The
company, with force of two hun

hearing was granted the complain
ants yesterday before Supreme Court

5. Corbin. James E. Degnan and
Thomas p. McKeever represented
the trolley company, while Wilbur A.
Heisley and Thomas p. Fay defended
the interests of Mrs Bliss and Mrs.
McWood.
Justice Gummere finally held that
Mrs Bliss objections could not be
considered, as the company did not
touch on her lands in the construe-
tion of the road Mrs. McWcod. he
decided, had the right to demand
hearing, inasmHeh as the tracks
the company are laid on pYivafe
property and consents had not been
obtained. The Justice, he fore.
granted the stay so far as the proper
ty of Mrs. McWood is concerned.
Sunday afternoon the troubles of the
company broke out afresh. President
