Before my firm began to use this

Railroad Notes.

Patrick Rooney resumed his work in
the signal tour Wednesday.
An unusually large number of tickets
have been sold the past week to various
points along the line.
The Laokawanna has placed an or
der for sixty large locomotives with
the American Locomotive Company
the greater part of them to be delivered
within year.
Bulletinsi have been sent out by the
superintendent stating that the Western
trains are now running en- schedule
time, and that all the damages done by
the recent flood have been repaired.
On Christmas day the following trains
will not run in the morning: 900, $50,
7.50 and S22. In the evening, trains
leaving New York at 400, 4.30, 500
and $40 will be taken off.
Judging by the following from the
Plainfield Courier News the commuters
along the Jersey Central are inclined to
kick. Isn't it about time the indignant
Plainfield commuters manifest their iu-
dignation at the miserable train service
now furnished bv the Jersey Central in
a practical way? A public indignation
meeting may prove effective.
There seems to be considerable oppor-
tunity for criticism by commuters on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
Judging by theitems published elsewhere
from the Plainfield Courier News and
from the Westfeld Standard as fol-
lows:
The Westfield commuter pays enough
for his ticket to entitle him to better
train service than that now being offered
by the Jersey Central. For several
weeks past, nothing but well-warranted
complaints have been made regarding
the lateness of trains arriving at West
field in the morning going to New York,
and the delays that very often occur on
the ferry coming out at night bring
siderably behind schedule time. A
big improvement is due the Jer-
sey Central commuters in train sched-
ule and in better rolling stock.
Inasmuch as the Central Railroad has
generally stood high in the opinion of
commuters it would seem that the pre-.
sent time is a favorable one for the man
agement Of the Lackawanna to catch
some of the floating element along the
Central who because OF inattention on
the part Of that railroad company will
probably locate elsewhere.

A Delightful Musical.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. NJ. Youngs music
class entertained each other last Satur-
day evening at Mr.. Youngs's residence
and many fine selections of music were
rendered. a number Of the class are
now studying the violin, and a string
orchestra is already enthusiastically at
work, and they gave their first rendition
on this occasion, and received merited
applause for their fine work.
The orchestra now consists Of Ger
trude Wise, Jessie Weekes. Fred Tomp-
kins. Mr.. and Mrs. Young, and Ellis
Bower, pupil Of Mr.. Hawley's, who
plays the cello, with Bessie Tompkins as
accompanist,
Piano numbers were given by jose
phine Hand, Helen Young, Bessie
Tompkins, Fred Tompkins and the
Misses Hibler.
Geo. Babbitt and Sydney Wilson, both
singers of promise, gave each two songs
to the delight of all.
Many other members were detained on
account of the unpleasant weather.

Friday Evening Club.

Madam Sarah Grand, the author of
''The Heavenly Twins, etc., who is
to speak at the club this evening on
"TIe Art of Happiness" has created
an impression in this country. The
North American of Philadelphia says
of her lecture in that city:
Her addess was the expression of the
cultured, and clever gentlewoman on
happiness and the reasons for being
happy. She touched her theme lihgt-
ly, with no hint of the worlds cyni-
cism in speech or thought. AT times
she was epigrammatic, to the keen
delight of her audience. The hall
was filled with sympathetic and APP
preciative listeners.
The New York Herald enthusiast
cally says:
She appeared on the stage hand
somely costumed in black and white,
and presented charminglappearance.
To use her own words as applied to
certain phases of society, she was ex-
tremely smart She spoke in pleas
ing, pure Englisb-not with the exag-
gerated English accent affected by
anglo-maniacs. Her talk was humor-
ous, clever and philosophical and on
a high plane.
At the last meeting of the Club it
was voted to allow the admission Of
twenty additional members. Less
than half dozen of these new mem
berships remain untaken so that any
one wishing to join must apply
promptly.

AWFUL WORK

orally Resumed on Wednesday.
Throughout the central and northern
portion of Pennsylvania and New
York, great destruction of property
occurred on Sunday and Monday
caused by the floods which were the
most severe since 1866 The noun
tains were covered with snow to a
depth of NEARLY foot and the warm
rain of Saturday, which in that part
of the country fell in torrents, caused
the rivers and streams to overflow
their banks carrying death and des-
truction before them. The Lehigh
Valley probably suffered the greatest
damage, although the Lackawanna,
New York Central and the Erie Rail
road and their branches on Sunday
and Monday and portion of Tuesday
were almost paralyzed SO far as
through traffic was concerned.
Passengers leaving Hoboken over
the Lackawanna Saturday night were
taken as far as Stroudsburg where,
owing to washouts both West and
East, they were detained : until
Sunday afternoon, when they were
landed in Hoboken and their fares
refunded.
Further west the road was obliged
to use the tracks of. the Erie, while
trains were stalled all the way from
five to twenty four hours. Notice was
posted at the Hoboken terminal as late
as Tuesday to the effect that no trains
would be run west of the Delaware
River.
On the Erie the damage was very
heavy. The fast express train which
left Jersey City at seven O'Clock on
Saturday night was held by washouts
at Port Jervis until early Monday
morning. The largest bridge des-
troyed was that over the Nayesink al
Port Jervis. Passengers on the
train leaving Jersey City at g. 30 snn
day night, did not reach Binghamtor
until o'clock the following morning
at Owego the trains were transferred
to the Lackawanna running as far OF
it's tracks as Elmira.
| On the through trains it was impos
sible to handle dining and buffe
cars, hence passengers were glad tt
get what they could at little way
stations. In some instances they GO
nothing all day excepting fruit. Con
siderable damage was done in the
southern part of New Jersey. Those
towns and railroads along the Della
ware suffering most.
In this section the storm was severe,
but it gave no idea of the amount Of
rain which fell elsewhere, and the
wide spread destruction which will
reach millions of dollars. Fortunate
ly the loss of life was not great.

shopping for Christmas.

The time has come when every shop
Sets forth in smart array
All kinds of wares that makes us stop
And lofter on our way,
And as we gaze we think we ought
To buy our presents now,
And not to wait until we're caught
When time will not allow.
All other years we've waited till
The latest minute, and
Our slender purses then we'd fill,
And rush to beat the band
We never found what we desired;
We took what we could get.
And wended home all cross rnd tired;
But not this year, you bet.
No surging, pushing, striving thrOng
Well have to struggle In.
But leisurely we'll stroll along,
The while we spend our tin.
Well take our time and make our choice
Select iudiciously.
And those who get them will rejoice.
When they their presents see.
But, after all, there's no great rush.
There's yet a month or more,
Before there's any awful crush;
Oh, yes there's time galore.
Today is--whatl Well. never mind,
1t doesn't matter. I'm
For shopping not just now inclined
And then, there's lot of time.

Called to East orange Rectorship.

While our citizens generally are
glad that the Rev. VIM. p Taylor, of
st. Peters Church. has been called
to a larger field of service as rector of
St. Paul's Episcopal Church, East
Orange. his departure from Morris.
town will be greatly regretted for he
had become very closely identified
through his work inthe church with
the community at large.
Commenting on the call the East
Orange Gazette says:
"A committee from St. Paul's Church
visited ST. Peters church, and heard
Mr.. Taylor preach. They were SO inn
pressed with his style of delivery and
personal appearance that a favorable
report was made to the vestry. It was
then decided to give Mr.. Taylor a un-
animous call to st. Paul's church.
A committee was appointed to lay the
matter before the Rt. Rev. Thomas
A. Starkey, Bishop of the diocese,
and receive his sanction. The call
was then sent to Mr. Taylor and he
has accepted it. He has never
preached in st. Paul's church. No
date has been set on which the Rev.
Mr.. Taylor will assume charge of the
parish, hut he will do so as soon as
he can arrange his affairs in Morl is
town.
The church hopes soon to be able
to build parsonage, the location of
which has not yet been decided upon.
The members of the church and con-
gregation have subscribed this week
over 81, 900 for the new building.
Mr.. Taylor was born in Phiiadel-
phia, although his family is numbered
among the Oldest of South Jersey. He
is a graduate of Lehigh University Of
Pennsylvania, receiving his B. A. de-
gree in 1868. He was or6ainad dea.
con in 1889 and elevated to the priest
hood in 1890 by Bishop Rulison, of the
Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, He
had charge of st. David's Seminary
in Pennsylvania from 1889 to 1891.
From there he went to Burlington, N,
j., where he was placed at the head
of st. Mary Hall, school for young
ladies. He was associated with the
Rev. DR.. Hibbard in st. Mary's church,
Burlington, from 1891 to 1897. Wher
DIR. Hibbard received his call to st
Peters Mr.. Taylor went with him al
his assistant.
At college Mr.. Taylor was made .
member of the Psi Epsilon and the
Phi-Beta Kappa Fraternities. Since
his graduation he has been connected
with many different fraternal and
social organizations and he has also
acceptably served as chaplain of Inde
pendent Hose Co., No. /, of this city.
He will probably leave Morristowr
the last week in January.
