SOUTH JERSEY OPENS.
Hundreds Of Boats Start Out For
Seed Grounds "A Big Season
Anticipated.

Maurice Cove, April 2:-Several
hundred boats left the ports along the
Southern Jersey coast yesterday morn
ing at sunrise and set sail for the
oyster beds to secure seed oysters for
planting.
For three weeks oystermen have
been overhauling their boats and pre-
pairing for the planting season, which
opened at sunrise yesterday.
The oyster dealers, who have given
their entire attention for several
months to the dredging, sorting, pack
ing and shipping of the primes that
the big cities might be supplied, will
now restock the beds with seed oysters
that the product may be continued
and next fall other large, fat oysters
will be there to supply the public de-
mand.
The chief planting grounds are
Maurice river coves, where the boats
will continue to work for long time.
The seed oysters are reported to be
especially fine and big season is ex-
pected.

WATERBURY,, Conn, April 2.-The
most important development in the sit
uation here is the statement made by

The new council in South Amboy
does not seem to be as friendly to-
ward the Jersey Central Traction
Company as the former one. A des-
perate effort was made at the meeting
Monday night to undo the action of
the previous body and the matter was
dropped in such a state that it is
bound to come up again. Some other
influences seem to be at work on the
south side of the river.

THURSDAY, APRIL .. 1903.

The Board of Freeholders have again
put off the day when they must choose
where to land the bridge on the south
side of the river. They did not think
Of changing their original plans until
they found that traction company
had secured an option on the Fouratt
property. But since the agitation to
change to the Wolff site, it has been
learned that to alter the plans would
mean saving of $15, 900 to the county.
1t would also move the bridge further
away from South Amboy.
From all appearances the Freehold
ers cannot agree as to location of the
south approach and it is understood
there is considerable argument behind
the scenes. In the meantime the
trolley companies are not remaining
idle and before the Freeholders have
decided what to do it is probable that
one or the other of the concerns have
placed themselves in a position to
control the Wolff approach. In that
event the county will be back where
it was in the beginning.
It might as we'll be admitted that
in the end the trolley companies are
going to win out. There are four
companies, all with apparently good
financial backing. They have practic-
ally everything that is needed and it
seems folly for the county to try to
Jel oafs.nn
stay them offs sp, nat the public wafeS
is tbHa,Sa.s. With fine weather now
7coming on, hundreds of mechanics
should be seen working on the struc-
ture every day. 1t makes little.differ-
ence to the people which company
gets the franchise. The one that is
successful is bound to make large
sum of money in selling right of
way to other companies. The people
know this and they also know that
they will get none of it. What they
want is good service and they want
it quick. All the trolley companies
which really desire to get over the
river will eventually cross the bridge
and the one company which will have
the privilege of collecting toll from
the others will, at the beginning,
have to pay the county good, round
sum for the franchise, so let's do
something to get the ball rolling. We
ought to have had the bridge finished
this summer, but Judging from pres
ent inactivities, we will not get it for
two or three years yet The limit set
for the contractors to do the work
amounts to nothing as long as the
Freeholders cannot tell them where
to erect the structure.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Strikes in the
building and allied trades pgedominate
in this state. At Schenectady the long
threatened strike of the carpenters for
40 cents an hour instead of 35 cents,
the present rate is on, and building OPP
erations are now tied up throughout
the city. Over 800 men are affected,
and they declare they will have the
support of the allied trades. One hum
dred and sixty carpenters and 300 la
borers are on strike at Oswego, the lat
ter's action throwing sixty stonema-
sons out of work. The carpenters de-
mand an eight hour day at present
wages, 1925 per day, with permission
to take private contracts. The labor
ers want an eight hour day at $3.50, as
at present. Similar strikes are also re-
ported from Saratoga, White Plains,
Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle
and other cities and towns.

Last Sunday morning train acci-
IDENTIFY stopped at station in Asburv
Park. For some reason, which has
not yet been explained, the engineer
could not bring his engine ito stand
still at Interlaken and the iron horse
kept on moving until the bridge over
Deal lake was crossed. Then several
of the passengers alighted. Ladies,
however, were forced to stay on the
train and be taken back to Interlaken
before they could get off.
This was an enormous crime for a

Medicine

Cod liver oil is in universal re-
pute as the best body builder in
wasting diseases, and the best
reconstructor in recovery from
severe sickness known to medicine.
Nevertheless, three-fourths Of
the people are really made sick by
the taste and smell of cod liver oil.
Halt of them can't take it. Their
stomachs either reject it, or are SO
upset by it that the dose does
more harm than good.
Vinol is the only preparation Of
cod liver oil which contains no
grease or bad taste yet does con-
tain all the virtue Of cod liver
oil, and is deliciously palatable. It
also contains organic iron. Iron
gives quality to the blood. Almost
every ailing person needs it.
The combination Of these two
elements with table wine is both
scientific and effective. It has
accomplished wonderful things
right here in town. We think
we are doing a service to every
rundown, ai1ing, coughing, ner-
vous, debiltated person in calling
attention to Vinol. We sell It on
its merits money back if it does
not help you. You run no risk.
