CARLSBAD, N. NJ, Oct. 12.-Charles
Fl. Taylor, a residen. of this town for
the past three years and trusted en-
ploye of the sugar factory under Cen
eral Manager Goetz, died this morning
at O'Clock. He was stricken down on
Tuesday night by what appeared to be
paralysis of the brain and never recov-
cred consciousness. He WAS one of the
most prominent young men in the
place and was we'll and favorsbly
known through out the valley, and his
loss is deeply felt. Mr.. raylor's faith

affair. Its estimated flow is $500 GAL
LOGS minute and the volume of water
is thrown fifteen feet from the seven
inch pipe. This great body of water
was encountered at a depth of only 27S
feet and the well was begun and com
pleted inside of two weeks. This is
the second great success Mr.. Hager-
man has made in the matter of wells
during the past month. His other
well on his "Chisum ranch" yields
nearly 1000 gallons minute, the flow
there having been struck at depth of
425 feet.
The movement of cattle towards the
markets continues to increase. Port

last notable shipment from that point
being three trains of market stock

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James

struck his leg against cake of ice in
such manner as to bruise it severely.
1t became very much swollen and
psined him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniment and two and a
half gallons ofwhisky in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he, began
using Chamberlain IS Pain Balm. This

Talbot's Greatest Tree Dead

The oldest and largest tree in Talbot
county is dead. 1t hiss been dying for 25
years or more. The tree is a mammoth
tulip poplar in a field of Poplar Hill farm,
near the public road leading from Easton
to Trappe, about mile and a half from
Easton. The farm has been named for the
tree for at least 200 years, and is the prop
erty of Mrs. Edmund Law Rogers, nee Pla-
ter, of Baltimore, and was part of the orig
inal Platter grant made in early Colonial
times. Scientific men who have from time
to time visited this tree have said that it
would take at least thousand years for
this species of poplar to grow to such size
in this locality. 1t stands alone, pictur-
esque feature of the landscape, in an open
field, and can be seen for miles from all
roads and from all the water courses. The
wonderful size of the tree is in the magni-
tude and height of its trunk. Approx
mately it is $50 feet high and 20 feet in
diameter. The head is comparatively small
and the first limb is 200 feet from the
ground, and it carries its diameter sym.
metrically all the way up. From its ton.
at night, for many venturesome and agile
climbers have ascended it, the light in
Sharp's Island lighthouse can be plainly
seen. A horse and carriage behind it can
not be seen from the nearby public road.
The lightning has not spared it. 1t is
scanned and gashed aad split by the many
balts which have struck it, and which have
also knocked huge limbs from its top. Ira
dition says that 200 years ago, which is as
far back as tradition claims to have known
the tree-it is named in land deeds $50
pears aEo-iitt II had lightning marks on it,
and even then showed signs of failure. |
Three years ago 1t was atruck four times
in one summer. This fierce attack un-
doubtedly hastened It's end. Well, the old |
giant is dead. The old poplar of Poplar
Hill probably saw the beginning Of the
ZENITH century and died just before the be-
ginning Of the twentieth. It was the Mount
shasta Of the Talbot landscape.
