RUSSELL sAGE's LOSING RAILROAD.
An Expensive Property-Plans to Put Line
on Paying Basis.

St John, N b. May q CspeciaD-Russen Sage
spends a small portion of his profits in New
Brunswick where he IS the owner Of a railroad
which somehow fails TO pay dividends This road
is called the New-Brunswick Southern. but is COM
monty known as the Shore Line from the fact
that it follows the coast from St John to St
Stephen. the latter town being on the boundary
between New-Brunswick and Maine. For the last
ten years, at least. this road which furnishes the
material for many Jokes. has been losing money
at the rate Of $4,000 a year, and this amount Mr.
Sage pays out annually. The track has never been
in what could be called first class condition. and
the rolling stock is OF antiquated type.
Mr.. Sage having grown tired Of handing out
money without any return. IS about to make one
desperate effort put the road a paying basis.
HIS idea is to get connection with the Maine Cen
trail at Calais, and compete for through bus-
ness from New-Brunswick 10 New England points
So he has decided that the road must be improved
and orders have been given for enough ties TO go
over the whole eighty miles. Four new large steel
bridges have also been constructed, and the line
IS TO be put in first class shape. This work will
cost not less than 100000

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Expensive Aldermen.

William B. Harris, representing the
Third Ward in the East. Orange City
Council, has been gathering data on
Aldermanic salaries in cities all over
the country, and proposes making an
effort to introduce reform in East
Orange. He has prepared a bill pro
viding an annual salary of $500 for
each Councilman The salary now Is
50 for each Council meeting or of a
committee. Mr.. Harris found that in
eleven cities the Aldermen serve with
out compensation This is the case in
Springfield, Mass, with $4,000 popula-
ton; Trenton, with $4,000, and New
port, r. L.: Fitchburg, Mass; Taunton.
Va; McKeesport, Pa; Meriden, Conn;
Waterbury, Conn, and Portland, Me.
OF the thirty three cities from which
Mr.. Harris received replies only one
has a governing body more expensive
than East Orange That is Kansas
City, Mo, and there the Councilmen
receive So meeting, and are limited
to sixty meetings and there are TWEEN
ty-eight members. East Orange, with
ten Council members, paid out $780,
Orange, with fifteen Aldermen, expend-
ed the smallest sum, $1O22. The aver
age of all the places was about $500 4
year, and most of the cities are larger
than East Orange.

Webster seemed in semi-dream. |
thought him half asleep, for he had
his eyes almost closed and was in a
heavy state, taking lutte notice of
what went on in court. William De-
hon, brisk young man, sat near him
and furnished him with law books and
papers and acted as if he were there
to keep Webster awake There were
three judges on the bench-probably
Judge Shaw and two others-one on
each side of MIN. They watched Web
ster closely, for it would not do to
neglect what he might say. He, on
the contrary, appeared to take no ac-
count of other persons. as if his mind
were anywhere but there. | fancied
he was thinking what his next politi,

little attention to what went on
around him"

The story of railroad casualties in
this country is little short of national
disgrace, and it's grewsome features
become more glaring when we COM
pare them with the records of accidents
on English roads, states the Boston
Transcript. In a country so compara-
lively new as ours and in the longer
lines that we are compelled to run,
largely through territory only partially
developed, it is reasonable to expect
that we should have much more
formidable accident list than England
shows. But the discrepancy is alto
gether too large to be justified on these
grounds.

According to a writer in Everybody's
Magazine, pauperism is made unneces-
sary in Germany, for in every city
there are great buildings occupied by
union offices where seekers after work
register, and after bathing and having
their clothes disinfected, if the unions
have no work for them in the cities,
they are sent to the farm colonies in
the country to work upon land recla-
nation and in other rural pursuits.
There is certainly no necessity in this
country for anyone who is able to work
to become public charge.

Of trolley car bound for Pennington
and didn't notice the car coming from
Princeton. At the place where he got
on the tracks are close together. Con.

his predicaments could notify the mo.
torman of the Pennington car to stop.
When the car was stopped Connor's
clothes We're in rags and he was
bruised and baby scratched about the
face and body, but not seriously in

fact that he is thin. A stout Law
