ABANDONED FARMS GOING.
Summer Residents Are Buying Them
In New Hampshire.

IH new
Governor Bachelor, lecturer of the
national grange. has issued an address
on New HQmpshire's abandoned farms.
in which he says:
"An encouraging feature Of New
Hampshire life at the opening Of the
states abandoned farms have been
adopted by prosperous and well pleased
foster parents. The first statistics col
lcctcd by The commissioner show 1,343
abandoned farms within the state. The
proportion of unoccupied farm land
within the state grows less with each
year that passes.
by Ear the larger number, however,
of the purchasers of New Hampshire's
abandoned farms have been summer
residents, vacation visitors, permanent
" dOmiciled for from two to eight
months of the year among our hills. A
canvass Of such residents, now being
made by the state board of agriculture
and not completed at the time Of writ
ing, has given thus far the names of
2,100 owners of summer homes in our
state, most of the said homes having
been created from what were once
abandoned farms.
at is estimated that these 2,100
adopted sons of the state, by them
selves, their families, their guests and
their employees, add to the population
Of New Hampshire every summer at
least 10000 people. Their holdings Of
real estate represent permanent in
yestment of $1,000,000, and their an
nual expenditures for all purposes
within the state are at least half as
much'
The Androscocgin (Me) Pomona
grange has membership of 2,636, and
there are 1850 Patrons in that county.
Maine is the third state in the Union
as 10 grange membership.
The parcels post is favored by the
grange. There is no good reason why
this country should not have as good
mail facilities as foreign countries
have.

has never been a President who had a

add to all this the fact that he is col

ERIE MAY USE TUNNEL.
Possible arrangement for Passengers
zrifh Lack,azgannG.

The directors Of the Erie Railroad. as an
nounced In The Tribune. are considering plans
FOR changing the motive power on several
branch lines of the system near this city
from steam 70 electricity. There has been no
decision on the subject. but In view OF a re-
port made a few weeks ago by Mr.. Graham. the
fourth vice-president of the company, who also
is at the head of the Erie's engineering staff
1t is more than probable that there will be
change OF motive power the branch lines
within a year.
MIR. Graham's report suggests the use Of she
overhead trolley in place Of steam locomotives
for the local and suburban traffic for dis
tance of about sixty miles Srom this city BY
building a power house near Paterson and con-
Meeting it with the various branch lines. all the
power needed Tor the operation OF those lines
could be generated at convenient central sta
ton. 1t is believed that a great saving Of ex
pense could be accomplished In that way. while
the change would make travel the Erie'S
suburban lines more comfortable and rapid. y
1t is believed. also. that the Erie viii make
arrangements TO send it's passengers from Ho-
boken to New-YOrk by the tunnel to be con-
structed by the Lackawanna. even il the two
roads do not join forces In the construction and
operation of the tunnel One reason for
change Of motive power on the Erie branch
lines is that an electrical service will have to

Inquest Over Body at Glen Cove Deepens
Mystery, but lessons Belief in Suicide

Justice James H Cocks held q second hearing in
tho at Glen Cove. Long Island. last even
ing In the inquest into the death OF John W. Heath
the English caretaker at Ali Souls summer house
at Glenwood Landing. who was shot on the night
Of October II or the morning OF October 13. The
justice, while not ready to issue warrant for

that the case looked much like q murder
than IL had before. The testimony of Mrs. Ida

Van SIyke the woman who spent the nighTin

ended his life, and that Of several persons VINO

prove the belief held by many that Heath took
his life.
Justice Cocks admits frankly that he does not be-
lieve the evidence given by Mrs Van Slyke She
stated that she saw Heath'S body lying in the
hall when she left her room in the morning, all
though tho shooting took place in a room opening
of the hall AMI the boJy could not be seen, Jus
without entering the room. Mrs. Van Slyke testi-
fed that she did not CO. or even put her head out

forward. A month before ths shooting Heath told
his wife she sail, that some had threatened
10 kill him. He wSddn't tell her who it was, and
said that he would like to any he was
