were all destroyed when the tree was
taken up, hence no connection, and the
leaves, so long as they are green, are
kept green by the food that has been
stored up in the sap vessels OF the

NOMINATIONS FOR SHERIFF

We are assured on good authority that
the Democrats are considering very care
fully whom they shall nominate for the
office Of sheriff. Up to the present time
only three men have received serious con-
sideration, namely Lindsey,
James G. Porter and Freebooter Fancher
II the Republicans nominate man
first-class in every respect there is no
doubt they will carry the county But
there is strong feeling in the public
mind that the Office of sheriff should be
filled by man whose personal life is alb
solutely clean and above reproach and
who is not entangled in political deals.
We understand that the Democratic
party is keenly alive to this fact and that
If the Republicans do not nominate such
a man, they will capture the Office.
The Republican party cannot afford to
nominate an inferior man because of a
fancied political pull. 1t will cost to
much

WEATHER AND cRoPs.
Reports Of state statisticaI Agent and Of
81. e. Young OF Alton.

New Brunswick, N. T., Aug 30. 1899.
During the week ending Monday,
August %, the temperature and sunshine
have been above the normal, and the
rainfall below, except in few scattered
localities in the southern section. On
the evening of the 21st, most destruc-
tive thunderstorm, accompanied by
hail and high wind, passed over the
most fertile portions Of Burlington and
Cumberland counties, In the latter
dover Township buildings were moved
from their foundations, sheds blown
down. and fruit and forest trees torn up
by the roots. Hundreds Of bushels Of
apples were blown from the trees, many
fields Of corn cut by the hail, and some
stalks broken off by the high wind.
In the remaining sections the weather
conditions have favored the growing
and maturing crops. Corn is in most
promising condition, especially the late
planted. Very fair yields of second
crop Of clover and timothy, and good
crop OF salt hay, have been secured.
Apples, the State over are in fine con-
dition, and maturing well. The yield
will be fairly good in quantity and quail
| ity Pears, all varieties, have been in
juriously affected by the Cooling Moth,
during the month of July. Cranberries,
in some boys in Ocean County, are badly
scalded, SO much SO that the yield will
be less than one-half of the average.
In some parts of the central section,
| blowing and seeding have been retarded,
owing to absence Of rain.
MR.. YOUNG'S REPORT.

Remarks Since last report corn,
potatoes and grass have much improved
in condition. A few peaches grown in
protected spots in upper Morris have
come into market in the past week, price
averaging from rs per cent. to $1.0O and
81 % for good fruit. The late potato

GRADE-CRossING BUTcHERIEs.

The railroad tragedy at Seabright
N. j., last Wednesday, by which three
persons were killed and three others in
jured, has again attracted attention to
the terrible peril involved in grade cross
ings. Special interest is impaired to the
Seabright tragedy by the fact that one
of the victims was Juanita, the postum
nous daughter of Juan Pedro Terry, and
heiress of IS, 600, 900.
In an article on ''the murderous grade
crossing" suggested by the case mention
ed. the New York Herald shows that
more than 5000 persons are killed and
SO, 900 injured every year on the railways
of this country. In the state of New
York during the last year covered by the
report of the railroad commission, 102
persons were killed and 113 injured at
grade crossings. Even gates and fiagmen
are not adequate precautions for pre-
venting this slaughter of human beings,
as about one-third of the number killed
occur at crossings guarded by such
means.
The Herald further shows that there
are nearly 1900 grade crossings in New
York state, and the new law providing
for gradually abolishing them has thus
far in its operations been able to get rid,
prospectively, of only thirty-six of them.
At that rate the last grade crossing will
have disappeared in about 300 years, and
by that time even those persons of this
generation who have not been killed
probably will be dead.
II is very clear, therefore, that the law
providing for the abolition of grade cross
ings needs to be radically amended for
the purpose of expediting that work and
safeguarding the lives of the public.
The change of grades, of course, will re-
quire the expenditure of a large amount
of money by the railroads as we'll as by
the people of the state, but where the
sacrifice of human lives by the hundred
every year is the alternative there should
be no hesitation on the part of the Legis-
latures of the several states in requiring
an immediate reform in this matter

PRESIDENTS NOBLE WORDS.

In introducing President Mckinley at
Ocean Grove, Bishop Fitzgerald said
that there is no conflict between the
Stars and Stripes and the flag of the
cross, and that "they float side by side
for humanity, liberty and TRUTH
The President responded /: Love of
flag and love of country are not incon-
sistent with religious faith. believe
that there is more love for our country
and that more people love the flag than
ever before. Wherever that flag is raised
it stands not for despotism and Cypress
ion. but for liberty, opportunity and hui
manity, and what that flag has done for
us we want it to do for all people of all
lands which by virtue of war have come
within its jurisdiction. That flag does
not mean one thing in the United States
and another in Porto Rico and the
Philippines. There has been doubt in
some quarters respecting the policy of the
government in the Philippines see no
harm in stating it in this presence.
Peace first and with charity for all es-
tablish government of law and order,
protecting life and property and occupa-
ton for the well being of the people who
will participate in it under the Stars and
Stripes"

NoIL ON COUNTRY ROADS. 4

Des Moines, To-, ismaking preparations
to experiment with crude oil as means
of road improvement. The oil is to be
furnished by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, and the Board Of
Public Works of Des Moines is to sprinkle
it over some of the country roads which
lead to the Hawkeye capital 1t is
claimed by the advocates of oil as good
roads agent that crude petroleum,
sprinkled over roadway, prevents the
destruction Of roads by water, as it
makes the soil waterproof, as it were
1t is also claimed that an oil soaked road
is dustless, because the oil keeps the road
in 'moist" condition. Maj. Meigs, of
Keokuk, a civil engineer in the employ
Of the government, has made a study of
good roads subject. and has tested the
effect of crude oil on country roads. He
seems to be ofthe opinion that lubricat-
ed road is good thing, forhe is an advo-
cate of the creased highway Maj.
,Meigs estimates that 12-foot roadway
can be improved with oil at price of
$110 barrel at a cost not to exceed
$14150 mile. putting down the labor at
standard rates. One barrel of oil is said
to be enough to improve so feet of road
10 feet wide.
Railroads to-day use oil to lay the dust
of their roadbeds, and it seems to do that
work with marked success.
If the leaders of the Morris County
Board of Freeholders would spend less
time ''oiling" pet schemes for political
advancement and in arranging for the
payment of political scores, our improv-
ed roads might receive not only much
needed attention in the way Of top
dressing, but time might be found in
which to try the Des Moines experiment
on section of macadam, say South
street to Convent. If the experiment
prove satisfactory and there is no
reason to doubt its practicability, the
work could be continued easily and in
extensively.

STREET SIGNS AGAIN.

Editor Chronicle.

might see it, for am sure that anything
needed so much would certainly be at

it, for it is constantly remarked especial
ly by strangers) that town with all the
advantages of Morristown should have
the names of the streets so placed that a
person walking Tor riding through them
need not be under the necessity Of asking
people they meet to tell them ''where
they are at, and where they expect to be.
A stranger recently walked through a
number of our principle streets and re-
marked it was pity such beautiful
streets had no names; at least there was
no indication that they had. It ia said
that all things come to them that wait.
We waited long time for the number
ing of our houses and perhaps the naming
of the streets will come in time but we
hope you will keep this matter before the
eyes of our City Authorities and perhaps
they will see the need of it.

Chainless bicycles have not proved so
popular this year as the dealers expect
ed at the beginning of the season. While
those who ride chainless have no par
ticular complaint to make except in up
hill work, there does not appear to be
sufficient advantage over the chain wheel
to induce the average rider to part with
the latter. 1t was predicted two years
ago that the bevel gear would practically
monopolize the market by 1900 but it
looks as if the chain wheel won't be
ousted.
The members of the Brunswick Bicycle
Club of New Brunswick, are to conduct
a novel run next month. They are to
dress up as tramps in tattered clothes,
allow their boards to grow, make them
selves look as much like knights of the
road as is possible and go on ride to be
known as "hobo" run. The man who
gives the best representation of tramp
will be considered the winner of the ride.
The wheelmen will not be allowed to
ride up hill. That would not be con-
sidered tramp like Time will not count
in the race.
Major Taylor, the colored rider, who
holds the mile record and has repeatedly
shown himself equal to the fastest riders
on the track, received nothing but con-
tempt and unfair treatment at the hands
of his opponents at both Montreal and
Boston. All sorts of games and tricks
were practiced to freeze him out of heats
and finals, and it was only by clever head
work on his part that he managed to win
one of the championships at Boston. At
Montreal the judges repeatedly ruled
against him, and on two occasions some
one of his rivals thrust pins in his tires,
causing them to go fiat. and throwing
him out of the contest. Taylor has been
advised by the foreign riders to visit
France, where they state his color will
not be against him, and he will receive
fair treatment
