WHITE RIVER ROAD.
Capitalization Increased by Board of Directors to 3,81O,OOO to Provide For Authorized Extension of
 12i Miles.

A meeting of the board of directors Of the White River Railway Company was held in Batesville Monday and a million dollars was appropriated to- ward the cost of completing the road to Carthage, Missouri. This will make the road part of great trunk line from Memphis to Denver. The scenic features of the road through the upper White river country will make it one Of the most popular lines of travel in the country.
 Those present at the meeting were J. w. Butler, Simon Adler, c. B. Handford, Theodore Maxfield, James P. Coffin, Batesville; George E. Dodge, Little Rock; r. w. Irland, St. Louis. MT. Irland was the personal represen- tative of Mir. c. G. Warner, president of the company, and vice president of the Missouri Pacific.
 The company was reorganized and Col. Dodge was elected president to succeed Mir. Warner, and Simon Adler was elected vice. president to succeed Col. Russell G. Harding.
 The capital stock was increased from $1,950,OO0 to $3,S1O,O0O, and the extension of the line was authorized from the present terminus at Mount Olive, Izard county, to Carthage, Mo. President Dodge says that there will be 56 miles in operation from Bates vile by January 1, after which time the construction on the latter part of the road will be pushed from both ends with all possible speed. George Gould has subscribed the additional stock to build the line, and is anxious to see the early completion of the road. The extension authorized by the resolution adopted on Monday is for 124 miles of road.
 It is generally understood that this IS merely an arrangement preliminal y to the eventual taking over of the property by the Missouri Pacific.
 The accompanying maps and profiles show the crossing of the road over White river near McBee's Landing, from which point it extends westward along Fallen Ash Creek, in Marion county, to the Crooked Creek valley, which it follows to the line of Marion and Boone counties, east of Harrison. It then veers northward to point several miles east of Keener, when it runs westward through Oregon, leav- ing Harrison 12 miles to the southwest, thence along Bear Creek, near Myrtle, thence near Self and Omaha, north of which it passes out of Arkansas into the Turkey Creek valley, in Fancy county, Mo-, whence it extends in general northwesterly direction to Carthage, Mo.
 At meeting of the state board of railway incorporators held Wednesday forenoon in the office of the secretary of state, the amendment to the charter as outlined in the resolution was granted.

VANDALS PUNISHED
Princeton Students Who De-
faced Washington Monu-
ment Heavily Fined

Especial to .sThe Jersey City News.
TRENTON, April 5. ls02.-Six students
of the freshmen class of Princeton Uni
versity were before Judge RelIstab yes
terday on charges of having painted
houses in this city and the Trenton BATHS
Monument with their class numerals q
few weeks ago.
The escapade created a good deal of ex-
cltement in Trenton, and there was a de-
mand for summary treatment of the van
dals. and the Grand jury promptly indiet-
ed them. They were suspended from their
classes and disciplined by the seniors.
When the young men appeared in Court
today their counsel pleaded for clemency,
on the ground that the students had COM
pensated the property owners, and a Pc
tition was exhibited to the Court. in
which three-fourths of the victims Of the
students brush and paint declared they
had been satisfied.
The Judge said he had been troubled.
as to what the Students sentence should
be. At first he had thought that a fine
would not be any punishment, because
they had sufficient means to pay any fine
the Court might impose. However. in
view Of the humiliation they had been
subjected to. he had concluded TO Impose
q fine of $3.50 and costs. Tnis ran the IN
divldusl expenses OF the fun up to Ss25.
The students paid the bill and disappear

ion that they would be expelled from the

Clerk Rooney's Interesting
Statistics Of Hudson
County Vitality.
FLUCTUATIONS
Smallpox, After All, Is Far
From Being the Most
Fatal Disease Popu-
lation Grows.

Clerk c.. J. Rooney Of the County Health
Board, has just completed an interesting
summary Of the vital statistics Of tins
county for the year 1901 He estimates
the county's population at S97, ,s30-in in
crease Of II ss2 over the last census re-
turns. The population is divided as fol-
lows: Jersey City, 21l.17T; Hoboken, 60, "a,
Bayonne, 1925; West Hoboken, "a, o5S;
Town of Union, 1857; Kearny, u,4S6;
Harrison. 1o.7so; North Bergen. s,l3S; Wee
hawken, 5,s74; West New York, 5.s19; Gut
teEberg, 1856; East Newark, 2,6S7; Secau-
Gus. 1,719.
The death rate of the county for 1901,
based on these figures. per 1.oo0 Of popula-
tion is 1876 In different municipalities II
is: Jersey City. 1870; Hoboken, 1876; Bay
onne, 165; West Hoboken. 13.7; Town o.
Union, 17.s: Kearny. 1876; Harrison, t2l.o,
North Bergen, 1879; Weehawken, 49,
West New York, 14S; Gutenberg, 49,;
East Newark 155; Secaueus. 1908.
Tke number of deaths about equalled
the births in Jersey City and Hoboken; III
West Hoboken, West New York and Bav-
onne there were almost twice as many
births as there were deaths. Aside from
Sccaucus, Weehawl1en is the only mui-..
cipality that har more deaths than births
A strange feature is furnished by the
variance of the figures Of marriages and
births. In East Newark 20 births are re-
ported to one marriage. and in Secaucus
II to one marriage. In the case OF the
West Hudson boroughs this is probably
due to the fact that most Of the people
residing there get married in the city Of
Newark or in the adjoining towns Of
Harrison and Kearny. The strange differ
ence in the figures of the North Hudson
borough is due to the fact that many
births are reported from the county AIMS
house located within its lines.-
In Gutenberg there We're more than
six births to each marriage, and in West
New York nearly seven The proportion
of four births to one marriage holds good
in Harrison, North Bergen and Wee
hawken and Bayonne. In West Hoboken
it is about three and in Jersey City and
Hoboken about two.
The total number of deaths. births and
marriages during the year are as fol-
1oys.-
