Potato BUGS STALL CARS.
They Arc Interfering With Trafnc on {
Msssa chusetts Trolley Road.

MIppLEBoRo, Mass, Sept. 3,-The con-
ductors and motormen Of the New Bedford,
Middleboro and Brockton division Of the Old
Colony Street Railway report that cars are
being stalled in Lakeville by potato bugs.
Alongside the county road near ASA
wampsett Lake there are several acres
Of potatoes owned by Sidney T. Nelson,
who is a frequent lecturer at farmers in
stitutes and grange meetings. Since the
cool weather set In the steel rails, warmed
by the sun, have attracted the bugs, and at
the middle Of the day the tracks swarm with
them.
The motormen have learned that the only
way to avoid accident is to shut on power
at the top OF the grade where the potato
field begins and to have the brake we'll in
hand. The wheels have been crunching
up thousands OF the bugs daily, and they
grease the rails for long distance, making
Il impossible for the cars to stop unless
they are moving at a very slow speed.

training locksmiths and blacksmiths.

The course of instruction in three of the

only as have completed a course in one
of the other six schools, and the curric-
ulum is highly advanced, covering
physics. chemistry and electricity, with

Who Fell at Bull Run.
UNVEILED ON OLD BATTLE GROUND
Governor Montague and General Cor
bin Eulogiscd the Bravery and
Fighting Qualities of South
ern Troops In the War.

GAINESVILLE, Va, Aug. 3D.
Troops of the United States army,
General Corbin in command, partici-
pated at Groveton in the dedication of
u monument to the memory of the
Confederate dead of the first battle of
Bull Run, fought forty-two years ago.
The principal address was delivered
by Governor Montague. General Cor
bin spoke briefly, and J. B. McCabe of
Leesburg also participated.
Troops of cavalry converged at
Groveton from Th%oroughfare, Manas-
sas and Gainesville, all arriving at the
exact hour appointed. Over every road
leading to the place soldiers equipped
for war were to be cen

ton as well as the Womcn's auxiliary
of II. E. Lee camp, Mrs. James Il.
Alexander presiding. Music was fur
aished by the Seventh cavalry band.
After the unveiling the citizens and
troops adjourned to n nearby grove,
where the speechmaking took place.
Governor Montague reviewed the
splendid fighting qualities of the Con-
federate troops as displayed in the
Bull Run battles. This devotion to
duty and splendid courage, he said,
was the only reaeeming feature of
war, and this was the lesson which the
cultivation of the memory of the dead
Of that day should teach.
General Corbin identified himself as
a Virginian and congratulated the
state OH its dead heroes and its living
gentlemen and the United States army
for the privilege of learning lessons Of
warfare or the historic ground to the
end that the Injunction Of George
Washington might be carried out, "In
time of peace prepare for war"
After the exercises Il luncheon was
served under the trees. The practice

ELEVATION.
Pennsylvania Railroad EIiminat-
ing all Grade Crossings
on Main Line.
new BRUNSWICK READY

With the completion by the Penn
~sylvania of the elevation of its tracks
through New Brunswick, it has
nearly finished the task undertaken
almost ten years oRo for practically
eliminating all grade crossings in
cities on its New York division The
work SO nearly completed is mi
which has involved an expenditure of
millions of dollars and has been at
tended with engineering
difficulties as we'll az local prejudiees
and obstacles in the various cities
affected, all of which, however, have
been successfully overcome.
The work of eliminating these cross
ings was inauRurated with the eleya-
tion of the tracks and the building of
the new passenger terminal at Jersey
City. Since the completion of that
work the tracks have been elevated
through Frankford and Tacony. with
in the Philadelphia Uity limits;
Newark, Elizabeth and Worthwhile.
The only part OF the work yet to be
undertaken is the elevation of the
tracks through Railway, and now that
this city is out of the way and the
Waverlv jump-over completed, that
city will be the next to receive atten-
tion. Plans for that work have been
completed for some times all the neoes-
sary land aud right of way secured
and municipal assent obtained. The
work would have been begun before
this, hut for the fact that the road
was torn up at other points, and it
would have interferred too seriously
with the movement of traffic.

most ridiculous.
The Casino and the Arcade was filled
with dancers until a late hour. The
Queen aud her retinue visited the Casino
and the Arcade to witness the merry
making within the big building.
The masqued couples had a parade on
Ocean avenue headed by Pryors' band of
thirty-two pieces, and the many electric
lights hung along the avenue made the
scene a beautiful one not easily forgotten.
At each hotel special arrangements
were made to receive the queen and in
a royal style she was greeted.

MAY PUNISH EDITUR.
Judge Strong Orders Him to Show Cause
Why He Should Not be Adiudged.

New Brunswick, Aug. 31:-Judge
Strong, issued an order yesterday direct
ing Francis w. Daire, editor of the New
Brunswick Times, to show cause Friday
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt of court.
The action against Mr.. Daire arises out
of the conviction Of Alfred Coley, who
was fined SIS. Coley had only $50, and
that was accepted on account, and he was
allowed four months In which to pay the
remaining $25. The New Brunswick
paper criticised this action OH the part of
the court, and contrasted the sentence
with that of three negroes convicted of a
similar. offence in Burlington county,
who were sentenced to ~forty-nine years
each in State prison.
