PENNSY'S DOUBLE TRACK.
New Line to Atlantic City Open for
Summer Travel.

With the new schedule OF early sum-
mer trains in effect May Is, the West
Jersey and Seashore Railroad practically
opens to travel it's new double track line
from Camden and Broad Street Station
to Atlantic city.
During the winter and spring the line
from Camden to Atlantic City has been
actually rebuilt. The old light rails have
been replaced by new steel rails Weighing
one hundred pounds to the yard, and an
entirely new road has been constructed
by the grading necessary for the. double
tracks.
The grade crossing over the tracks of
the Jersey Southern Railway at Winslow
has been eliminated by the building of an
elevated roadway high above the inter-
secting tracks, and thus enabling the
fastest trains to pass this point without
slackening speed. An absolutely new
roadbed has been constructed across the
meadows. Upon the magnificent founda-
tons of the old Camden and Atlantic
roadbed, which has been building by the
accumulated work of forty years, thou
sands of carloads of gravel and sand have
been placed to the depth of six feet from
the surface UP, SO that the tracks are
elevated above the height of the storm
tides. In order that the Elevated tracks
may the better Withstand the action of
storm tides, canals have been opened at
intervals to carry the accumulated water
beneath the roadway and the exposed
sides of the e~mbankment have been
thickly coated with the heavy and adhe-
sive soil dug from the meadows. The
new track IS as firm as the old ever was,
and with these projections and reinforce
ments it will stand firmly the brunt of
any ordinary storm. The new roadway
has been coated with an application of
oil so as to free it from the dust naturally
incident to the new grading.
Under these improved conditions the
West Jersey and ~Seashore's double
tracked lines to Atlantic City form the
finest and best line of railroad to any
summer resort in America. The speed of
trains both from Broad Street Station and
Camden will be materially accelerated
and the time of ransi proportionately
reduced. The rolling stock and equip
ment will be fully up to the high standard
maintained by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The summer traveller to Atlantic City
by this popular route will enjoy the finest
facilities offered by any railroad in the
world.

Politics in the War.

In our news columns we produce from
"Harper's Weekly today, an article by
Mr.. Poultney Bigelow giving his observa-
tons of the condition of the volunteer
troops at Tampa. The picture is a shameful
one. It is reinforced by a snowstorm OF
personal letters which are reaching home
and friends in the north from the victims OF
the administrations game of patronage dis
tribution. Such a letter was brought into
ssThe News Office a day or two ago from q
New Jersey soldier at Chickamauga.
Among the phrases in it were such as these:
They are treating us worse than dogs.
They are starving us on fat pork and we
have to go two miles for a drink OF muddy
water.

Mr.. Bigelow's evidence is valuable. He is

in Europe. He has been in the field in real
war and mimic war. He Knows what should
be done and what can can be o for troops
in camp. His condemnation of the ignorance
and incompetence by which our brave
soldiers are victimized is a terrible arraign-
ment of the peanut politics and the selfish
numbering which has so far controlled the
organization of the army.
Jobbery and nepotism have the country
and its forces tangled up amid their greedy
feelers, like two filthy political octopi,
dragging us down to disgrace if not disaster.

WORK AT THE WATERSHED.
Engineer Sherrerd Submits a Report
Regarding improvements.

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News.'l
NEWARK, June 4. 1S9S.-At the meeting
held by the Board of Works yesterday af-
ternoon Engineer Sherrerd submitted a
report regarding the work that has been
done at the ~Pequannock watershed dur
ing the past month. Owners of property
where sources of pollution may exist have
been notified by an Inspector representing
the East Jersey Water Company to take
every ~precaution to prevent contamina-
ton. Some improvements were made at
OILERS and Oldham's places, and at
Burns Hotel the drainage from the cess
pools, it was reported. will soon flow into
a ditch below the bed of the river. Mr..
Sherrerd also explained in his report that
q casual m uion has been made of
the developed water powers along the Pc
~quannock, Hezspton and Passaic Rivers
as far north as the Macopin Intake. The
report was concluded as fouows:-
MANY Of these water powers, and par
ticularly the larger ones. are evidently
owned or controlled by the East Jersey
Water Company. It YOU seem that this
should turn over the diversion
rights for 50,0o0.0o0 gallons Of water daily
from the P~epuannock, as far as it Is able
to do so, at once; and that we should de-
mand the diversion rights for all the wa
ter powers affected. under the advice Of
the City Counsel, In order that the adj
vantage Of the time Intervening between
now and September, 1860. ma be had. 50
that necessary litigation and&the many
matters involved may be cleared"

CAME FROM ENGLAND TO MARRY
Romantic Wedding In Greenville
Last Evening,

A very pretty and rather romantic we'd
ding took place Thursday morning at the
residence of Mr.. Joseph Royce. No. 315 Paw
onia avenue, when his sister, Miss Mary
Royce, was married to Mr.. James Dalgleish.
The Rev. F. E. Mortimore, of st. Marks

pretty gray dress trimmed with silk and
chiffon and wore orange blossoms. She
carried a bouquet of white carnations and
was attended by Miss E. {. Stark, of North
hampton, N. Y, and Mrs. j. Royce, of this
city. Mr.. George Dalgleish, of Chicopee
Falls, Mass, was the groom's best man.
The couple were playmates in England
some years ago, and when Mr.. Dalgleish left
for this country he carried with him the
promise of his sweetheart that she would be
his bride. Since Mr.. Dalgleish has been here
he has been successful in business, and a
month ago he sent for Miss Royce. She ar
rived here about two weeks & and made
her home with her brother. The young
people were showered with congratulations
and many were the presents they received.
A reception followed the ceremony and the
the reception room was beautifully decorated
with American flags and palms. The couple
left later for Chicopee Falls, where they will
reside.
Among those present at the wedding were
Mr.. and Mrs. John White, of Newark; Mr..
and Mrs. Wilkinson, Mr.. Henry Royce, r.

FIRST FISH STORY OF THE SEASON
And It Comes From a Greenville
Republican, Too.

The first fishing party Of the summer took
place Thursday, when Henry Petty and
Edwin Birch both of Greenvi1le took a trip
down the bay. Nj. Petty said that for this
time of year he never heard Of weak fish
biting so fast. Ten weak fish were caught
by the people, which is a remarkable catch
when it is taken into consideration that the
season for that kind of fish does not begin
until the middle OF this month.
Mr. Petty said that the reason they were
so plentiful 50 early was that the govern
ment bad forced the fishermen to take in
their nets which we're placed outside the
narrows and which presented the FISH from
coming into the bay. Now that the nets are
up the fish nave a nance to com up the
river.

In the controversy which has arisen over
the Grove Street trolley ordinance, we OBJ
serve that Mr.. Myron j. Furst has taken the
liberal and reasonable side. This is not
wonderful. Mr.. Furst knows exactly how
the case stands, because it touches his "
pocket, or rather the treasury Of his firm.
He looks at the question as a business man,
as a business man with direct interests in
volved, and his business shrewdness leads
him to the truth, unerringly. Inthe EVEN
ing Journal Of yesterday, Mr.. Furst stated
his views pretty fully. Here are some Of
the things he said
While it IS impossible to estimate the
amount Of trade we would get from HOBO
ken if the trolley cars were to connect the
two cities, / simply figured on the probable
business at q million dollars, by assuming
chat an average of $40 would be spent IN
Jersey City annually by the 100, 900 persons
in Hobogen and beyond.
a trolley line would certainly benefit
Jersey City. The closer Jersey City and
Hoboken are bound together the quicker VIII
we realize the consolidation OF the IHuuict-
palities of Hudson County, a consummatlon
which every broad-minded man will hail
with joy.
New York, with a population of over three
millions, is still anxious to increase its busi-
ness, and her merchants make it a point TO
advertise in out-of-town papers to increase
their trade. Jersey City ought not to be
above making attempts to increase her trade.
This is the business side of the affair clearly
and forcefully stated. 1t is in the nature OF
a last word. 1t is unanswerable. uncontro-
vertible.
The railroad feature of the case is conden-
sable into one sentence.
You are not giving us anything, then what
do you want us to pay fors
This is the truth. The company is not
asking for or getting a double track. 1t IS
not getting one foot or one inch more OF the
street thar it has today. Its whole aim is to
accommodate the public by giving better
cars and cheaper transit.

Clinord,s Latest Imitator.

One Louis Conrad. who has been employed
On the Hamburg Steamship docks in Hobo
ken, is prisoner in the County Jatl, on 9
charge Of threatening to murder Superin-
tendent Badenhausen of the docks. Conrad
was discharged on Tuesday morning for in
competency and be concluded that Mr.
Badenhausen was to blame. The injury he
considered 50 serious that nothing but blood
would compensate it. He therefore armed
himself with . revolver, primed himself with
liquor and started for Nh. Ba~denhausen's
residence. Friends induced him to abandon
his idea for the moment, and later he became
% turbulent that the police interfered and
locked him up for creating a disturbance in

and Recorder Stanton gave him sixty days
to cool down. Whether he viii renew his
rage and actually hill his man, the first
debauch he INDUCES in after his release,

IT is a remarkable fact tina the numbe
of failures in May was smaller than last
year or in 1896, although the prevalence Of
war had frightened credits. Large failures
were eight in manufacturing for 81, ss5, 600
this year, against thirteen for 81, ss5, 900
last year, and in trading five for $3.50, 600,
against ten for s1,572,e77 in 1897. All signs
point to summer and fall Grade.

portations.
The theory that the anticipatory importa-
tons of last May and June are responsible
for the deficiency in the National revenue
under the Dingley law is receiving some
cruel knocks from the statistics OF the
Treasury Department. We have now
reached a point at which even the extreme
DingIeyite can hardly claim the importa-
tions of a year ago exercise a serious infiu-
ence, and still, horrible to relate, the income
from customs is undergoing a steady and
most alarming decline.
In March the government received from
that source SIS, $50, 600: in April, s14, 1913, 900;
in May, s1s, 4es, 900. These returns COM
pare with average customs receipts Of seven
teen millions or more in the corresponding
months in the h~alf-dozen years before the
enactment Of the Mckinley law in 1880.
These figures are all the more overwhelm-
ing, too, when it is remembered tnat tney
are coupled within the largest export trade
that the country has ever enjoyed in its
history.
MI. Dingley's consciousness of the total
failure Of his system may be said to have
reached the stage of open confession. The
fact that there is no effort to raise a dollar
by custom duties in his new revenue bill IS
an unmistakable admission that the tariff
has had its day as a revenue producer and
that day is now bygone. It is almost
equally a confession that protection is an in
jury to capital, because If this were not
felt, revenue or no revenue, SO easy ap OPP
portunity to increase the bounty on favored
industries would certainly not be neglected.
