A Freighter Held Up bv the
 Gang and Seriously Hurt.

The gang of horse thieves whose early morning exploits in Tomb mbs,one were published in tEe PRosPEcroR yes terday, have added another chapter U their career of crime, and if caught will suffer the pc nsl'y.
 Word was brought in yesterday from Pearcs that the trio were seen near Pesrce Sunday ait rnoon bat did not stop in town, pushing on ahe ad, and, ss near as can b. learned, when come distance on the road they met Ben Moore, . freighter, who was returning to Pearce on horse back .snd alone. The Mexiesns com mand- ed e halt, and enforced the order by presentation of WInchs,ters. Moore, who had just sold his teams for some $500, winch amount he had on his person. made a courageous attempt to escape. Instantly a shot was fired and hIs hsrss lurched forward and fell dead, the rider being caught underneath, and, as subsequently, de- veloped, his left leg was broken in two places. h this helpless condition the robbers searched their victim and se- cured $?l0 in money.
 The N,1icans had left their horses by the side of the road, and at the time of tue bold-up. were sfoot, but immediately after mounted and con- ,inued ahead, and it is believed the desperadoes are headed toward Ciif- ton, where they have friends.
 IL was several hours alter the hsid- up before Moore wse discovered or able to make the facts known, and the iugilives had the advantage oi being many miles ahead of the follow ing posse.
 Sheriff White and Deputy Otto Moore were at Pearce yesterday in pursuit, and will try to head of the fleeing outlaws.
 LATER.
 Late this afternoon, and just before going to press, MT. Moore was brought in from Pearcs and placed in the hos pitsl. A PRs RECTOR representative interviewed the gentleman and ehcit- ed the information that the Mexicsns, the descriptions Of whom are idep tical with the parties s1spected, fired three shots at him without any warning whatever; his horse became fright eued and stumbled in @ deep road track, MT. Moore falling from the saddle and sustaining broken left leg. Two more shots were frei by the Mexicsns after he fell, and the bullets flew uncomiortsbly close. He gave the robbers S2l0, and after some talk ing they left. IL WAS evident they were mistaxen in the identify of Mir. Moore, ss they were intent on killing him until they seen he was not. the man wanted. The Mexicans were well armed and had several rUunds-of am- intuition each. MT. Moore was left alone and was unable to move from ? p. ID. until II p. m., when . buggy was going by and he was taken aboard te Pearce. While regrettine the loss oi his m oney, Mir. Moore re- gsrds himself exceedingly fortunate ths; he was not murdered.

THE COST DIVIDED.


The farmers Of the country are grad
ually going over TO the belief that good
roads are for their personal benefit and
there is "A 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 that
the cost of highway Improvements
would fall chiefly on them and as they
feel that they are already surdened
heavily enough they resist the passage
NJ g~ood-rosds laws with their local in
huence and their votes often to the de-
feat of these worthy projects. New
Jersey has a law now in force, however.
that illustrates how properly this bur-
der can be divided between the individ-
ual and the community SO that it falls
lightly upon the farmer. This law APP
portions the cost of all road improve
ments as follows: O%ne-third is paid by
the state, one-tenth by the individual
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
tn 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 S.. 200 a mile.
OF this sum the county would pay ST.
700. the state 81 900 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 a mile along n highway, and the
tax is assessed on the owners on each
side of the road. Thus il will frequent
ly occur that the individual will pay d.
rtctly for a 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 as this. if copied in other
states. would probably result in an inn
mediate betterment of the country
roads in every section. an improvement
OF untold benefit to millions of people,

Wherever experimental ruralmailde-
livery have been made il has been found
to work most successfully-during clear
weather when the roads were all right.
Which indicates how indissolubly
linked together are the problems of
good roads and the uplift of the social
lit. 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
rar that to the future Of American agri-
culture few things bear so important a
relationship as does the question OF
good roads. Indeed, IL 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 30 much as good roads to the
elevation of life upon the farm?
But the whole question is being dis
cussed In a desultory and indeterminate
way, which promises nothing for the
future. Organized effort, in which the
wheelmen 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 a movement looking to this
erd.
With good roads farm life will have
all the delights of rural existence, to
which will be added the advantages of
the town. of a daily mail, of social in
tercourse with neighbors, Of musicales
and lectures brought near. Good roads
will transform the farm. which so many
now desert for the city. into the most
attractive of homes. and give once more
to agriculture first place among the
professions and occupations of life

The Baltimore and Ohio officials are very
much pleased with certain statistics that
have recently been prepared OF the per.
Torrance OF freight trains on the Second
division, which handles all the east and
west bound traffic between Baltimore and
Cumberland. Before the new freight en-.
gines were purchased, and the improvements
made in the track in the way OF stralghten-
ing curves and reducing grades. the average
number of cars to the train was 2sl2. Now,
with more powerful and modern motive
power aud a better track, the average Is 40
cars per train, an increase OF Al per cent.
The average east-bound movement per day
for the first ten DAYS of August was LIB
loaded cars. On the Third division, Cum
berland to Grafton, where there are grades
of lbs feet to the mile, the engines used to
haul 10 - loads 70 the train. Now the
average is Is 2-3 loads per train, an increase
of 81 per cent. 1t would certainly appear
that the money spent in improvements on
the b.. and o. is being amply justified, and
that the cost of operation is being very ma
terially reduced.
