POTATO BUGS STOP TRoLLEYs RUN.

Sand Cures the Trouble.

Railway. y. j.. Aug. 3l-A trolley which
left Boynton Beach at noon to-day on the Rah-
way and Woodbridge branch of the Public Ser
vice Corporation line was stalled by potato bugs
just south OF the NewJersey Reformatory while
on the way TO this city. John Barton. the motor
man. saw that a number Of potato bugs were
along the tracks, but paid no heed to them
Finally the refused TO go any further; the
wheels would spin on the rails because of the
bugs. The car was backed and headyvJy
taken, but the wheels slipped. The passengers
began TO complain. and finally the conductor
suggested putting sand on the rails. This was
a successful remedy. as the car sped over them
without finch.
Ex-Mayor Holmes OF this city was one of the
passengers he said he never saw so MANY
potato bugs La the spring farmers prophesiei
that there would he bugs this year owing IA
the severe winter. Il seems they failed to
