the change will De used for three addi-
tional winders which are made neces-
sary by the installment of new knitting
machines
With the completion of the present
alterations every foot of floor space will
be occupied There will then be 205
knitting machines installed with other
new machinery in proportion. The in
creased capacity will bring the number
of hands employed up to about 300 and
raise the product of the plant up to $50
dozen pair per day
The Knitting Mill is one of the most
modern and best equipped plants in this
section OF the state, including in its pro-

Reclaiming Waste Land,

Extensive improvements are on foo
at the farm belonging to the D. NJ.
Boyd estate at Boyds station which
will result in reclaiming some
eighteen acres of waste land The i'm
provements consist in digging new
channel for the purpose of diverting the
waters of Logan's run and small trib.
utary which periodically overflow the
meadow, causing a dense growth of
brush and rendering the land unfit for
cultivation or pasture.
The undertaking is quite heavy one.
The new channel, l2 to II feet wide
and 3 feet deep, will have to be cut
nearly the entire distance from the
wagon road to the river. The excava-
tion has already extended some six hun
dred feet, the work having been in pro-
gress during one month, with some
thirty men employed. In addition to
the new channel being cut, men are at
work over the large tract to be reclaim
ed cutting down the trees, clearing
away the brush and digging out the
roots, so as to prepare the land for cult
vation
The improvements work great
cnange which give Things different ap-
pearance in that part of the farm. The
work, which is under the SUPERVISION of
John Wands, will be pushed alons as
rapidly as possible until further progress
is prevented by winter

WHERE LIFE
IS IN DANGER
Shooting at Random in the Borough
Limits.

According to all accounts life in the
Fourth Ward, especially in the vicinity
of the school grounds must afford a fair
parallel to the experiences Of wild
west town. Indiscriminate and ran
dom shooting, it seems, is the popular
diversion of the people or at least Of
certain classes
1t is no unusual thing for a person
there to hear the report of a gun and
the next moment to discover that he or
she has escaped being shot by very
narrow margin. \ lady walking in her
garden lately was startled by the report
OF gun and the next moment bullet
whizzed by and embedded itself in a
tree near by. A valuable dog trotting
along one OF the principal streets day
or so ago fell victim to one of these
stray bullets and lost his life. Matters
reached a climax at the residence of ex-
Councilman Joseph Murray the other
day The delivery wagon Of HCffmans
meat market had just driven up. Mr..
Hoffman was waiting upon his customer
when gun went off and Simultaneous
ly with it Il volley of shot struck the
side of the house and ratified down up
on the stone walk.
The school board is very much ex-
ercised over the state of affairs, lest the
lives of the pupils be endangered. They
are determined that the practice of dis
charging fire arms in the borough, which
is clearly i'll violation of the ordinance.
must be stopped. The attention of the
police will be called to the matter.
