TONNAGE STILL HEAVY
FREIGHT MEN SURPRISED OVER
THE MANNER TRAFFIC HOLDS UP.
Large Movement of Empty Cars-Ru-
mOrs that Rockefeller Seeks Con-
troll in the Southwest.

AS was the case last month freight traffic
continues in excess of corresponding periods
of former years not only in loaded-car
movement. but in tonnage per car, as all
roads have learned the value of space in
car and are loading freights more system
atically- 1t is stated that train of thirty
five cars now carries at least s to II per
cent. more tonnage than did the same num-
Der of cars five years ago, and Of lower
class freights Is to 20 per cent. more This
is brought about through the introduction
of cars of $4,000 to 100000 pounds capacity.
II the higher class freights the increase in
tonnage per car is not so marked as in
lower class, such as heavy groceries, iron
and steel products ore and coal, which
now are important items in freight moved.
The miscellaneous character of the freights
now carried is spoken of as being a re-
markable feature in transportation. Like
conditions never before existing, due TO the
prosperity of all industries of the country,
which increases from month to month
rather than diminishes. This is illustrated
in the business of furniture, carriage and
harvest and farming implement manufac-
turers, anly only In grain shipments has
there been any falling off as compared
with the most prosperous times. Stock
yards and packing houses are doing about
their usual amount of shipping, and this
has fully Offset the lighter grain move
ment. The business of the iron and steel in
dustries is an important factor in traffic
and yearly increasing, and trainloads of
fruits and vegetables of Southern growth
are shipped TO Northern markets daily
1hls business has largely increased the
traffic of the north-and-south lines, which
are now doing the heaviest business in their
history. Recent traffic shows no falling off
a doing
a good business. The following table shows
the number of cars handled at this point
for the week ended June Z and for the cor
responding weeks of 1901 and 1900:

DEXTEROUS WITH A RAZOR.


Patrolmen Jones and Admire had an ex-
perience with Reuben A. Humphrey yes
terday morning, and they almost had to
walk to roll call in barrel. During the
night Jones and Admire put their rubber
coats in a restaurant after the rain was
over. When they returned for them they
were told by the proprietor that the coats
had been stolen by Humphrey. The police
men found Humphrey about o'clock, but
he did not have the coats. He was ar
rested on charge of petit larceny. While
they were waiting for the patrol wagon
Humphrey pulled out razor and cut the
blue blOuses of the two officers until they
hung in shreds. He did his work with such
dexterity that the damage was not discov-
cred until they had placed him in the wag
on. AS they raised their arms they found
their coats dangling loosely around their
arms. Humphrey handled his weapon in
such manner as not to cut through to the
flesh.

CHAPTER V.

One afternoon the Lehigh Valley ey-
press slowed up at the prim New Mar
ket station and a passenger alighted
whose bearing and gorgeous gown made
the villagers rub their eyes and pinch
themselves and blink. She appeared to
be familiar with the place and did not
inquire the direction to the humble
Nelson cottage where mother and her
daughters lived and toiled 1t was a
summer day. No one was at home ex-
cept the mother-as her daughters were
at work in the same tailor shop across
the way as was once familiar to the
fair and gorgeous Lehigh Valley pas
senger. Suddenly shadow fell across
the kitchen floor of the cottage. The
old woman raised her eyes and in the
doorway stood a woman.
A radiant woman she was, indeed
tall and comely and bedecked with jew
els. All New Market might be pawned
for less than the value of such jewels.
thought the aged and startled occupant
of the cottage. Rich apparel set off the
faultless figure of her visitor. Bedia-
moned butterflies fluttered amid the
laces. Serpentine effects blazed and
flashed from the slender figure. But the
mother eyes were not so blinded as TO
fail to recognize her daughter.
For moment the woman stood in the
The Washington times., 1902-09-07
CHAPTER III.

New Market was scandalized. Never
before had a fourteen-year-old girl re-
fused to attend school in the quiet town.
Carrie Smith was visited by the mem
bers of the school board separately and
collectively. She met them with de-
fiance. She would not 90 to school, 1t
was SO much more interesting to stay at
home and look pretty in pretty frocks,
which she could neither make nor wear
IL she wasted her time poring over mis-
go! She went into the tailor shop in
stead and sewed with her mother. Il
was the lesser OF two evils. She was
paid so cents day. On this capital she
contrived to dress herself In so becom-
ing way that not even the girls on the
other side of Bound Brook were any bet
ter arrayed. She had genius for count
ing stitches. She had a weakness for
never counting the cost Her genius and
her weakness in this regard went hand
in hand through her life.
Mrs. Elizabeth BunneIl, her sister and
one of her heirs, says that Carrie as
a girl was the enigma of the village.
She was like nobody else. She did not
like to go to school. She did not like
The Washington times., 1902-09-07

ers and sisters saw her every day. They
were anxious to ask her ql.stions con-
corning her prosperity, but something
In her manner made them halt.
They did not dare to learn By ques-
tioning what she would not toll Of her
own accord. They now say In New
Market that she always had way about
her that repelled the inquisitive. All
she chose to tell. But she found out
all about them-what her family had
been doing, how they had progressed
and what their circumstances were. She
did not need very bright eyes TO zee
that they had not progressed far and
that their circumstances were at q .nnch
lower cbb tan the brook which had di-
vided her girlhood life from the life be-
yond the bridge.
New Market had come to question her
on her first appearance in the village
following her accession to afiuence.
New Market remained to admire her
way Of remembering and caring for her
mother and family after her return. To-
day New Market carefully shuts its eyes
before certain obscure scenes in the
strange and romantic drama which came
to so abrupt an end as the Fair automo-
bile dashed across the stage of the world
on Its fatal journey in France.
