COIN SOUVENIRS OF TRAIN.

Mchinley's funeral Car Runs Over Gold
Pieces In Pennsylvania.
The desire for souvenirs upon the
part of the large crowds lined along
the railroad tracks at every point was
a distinctive feature of the Mckinley
funeral train, says the Pittsburg Post.
The most popular of all the methods
adopted was the placing of coins on
the track SO that the train might pass
over them, smashing flat the pieces
OF money as a mark of Identification in
years to come. This practice was not
confined to any particular point or
crowd, but was INDUCED in generally
all along the route. The mutilated
coins were afterward gathered up by
their owners and displayed with much
pride. At some stations, according to
the train conductors, SO many coins
were placed on the rails that it caused
a slight jar to the cars as they passed
over them. Coins Of different denomi-
nations aggregating at least several
hundred dollars We're streWn along the
track at Union station Even these
relic-hunters seemed to appreciate the
occasion and surroundings, and, in
stead Of making q rush for their prop
erty as soon as the train had passed,
waited until it was out of sight before
picking up the crushed coins, and by
common mute consent each was al
lowed to have, his Or her own without
the least %quibbling among them. At
Roup station prominent and wealthy
resident Of the Shadyside district
placed $40 gold piece upon the rail.
The approach Of the train started to
shake it off, but it managed to remain
long enough to have just a small por-
ton of it nipped off as if done by a
knife. The owner is quite collector
of souvenirs and oddities, and when
he picked up his coin he stated it
would occupy the most prominent and
conspicuous place in his large collec-

NEWARK. Dec lS, 1901. The Thomas

ton has consented to use no further efforts
TO force the Rev. John Keller, who WAS
shot by Barker. to bring an action against
Mrs. Barker in court and thereby have
the accusations made by her proven or

ton assert that: even If fevery man, wom-
an and child in Arlington demanded Kel-
Ter to bring action he still would refuse.
The money that the association collected
to desend Mrs Barker in such an action
will now be used in behalf Of her husband,
who is in prison.

following statement: sit is now plainly
evident that the money which was SUD

helping Mrs. Barker to defend any suit
which might be brought against her by

DON'T WANT I0B[ GREATER !!
Hoboken's Citizens See Lit
tie to Favor in the
Scheme.

The bill to consolidate the townships oi
North Hudson with Hoboken, which MT.
Augustus A. Rich member of the Con-
solidation Commission, is preparing Tor
presentation to the next Legislature, is
not looked upon with favor by property
owners and residents of Hoboken. It Is
a well known fact that Hoboken wants
to be let alone unless some very en-,
couraging inducement can be offered for
consolidation. The people of Hoboken are
thoroughly satisfied with their city, both
as to its size>and government. The tax
rate is low in comparison with other
c4lies There are few, if any, streets 70
be laid out and no waste lands to be inn
proved except the meadows, plans for the
drainage of which are now under con-
sideration.
To take under her wing the vast tracts
o. unimproved land in the northern sec
tior o. the county, together with the
debts of the smaller townships, is pro-
ject which Hoboken will by no means
welcome and were it put to her votes
there would be little doubt as to the re-
suit.
Mr.. Rich is from the northern section
of the county. He and ex-Mayor Herman
Walker of Guttenberg, also member OF
the commission, favor the scheme. It is
said that they voice the general senti-
ments of the people of North Hudson,
who are more than anxious to share IN
the benefits received by Hoboken from
her valuable and thriving water front.
That such project will eventually be
necessary is not disputed by Hoboken
