Story of a Trestle.

"Once upon a time" it was thought to
New Lisbon railroad station. The idea
was to save money for the county of Bur
lington. There are two institutions near
the station-the Almshouse and the Insane
Asylum. Both of these places use con-
siderable coal and it was figured that if
trestle was built the coal could be I'M
loaded and there would not be necessity
to hurry teams to haul it, thereby saving
time and possible expense.
A committee viewed the place and asked
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
build the trestle and rent it to the county.
The corporation declined to do this and
told the county it must do the work, and
suggested that John S. Rogers, of Stan
wick, would be good man to engage, as
he had frequently done such work for the
company and knew just how it should be
done. Inquiry showed that it would cost
81, 900 to do the work, exclusive of some
filling in with dirt.
The contract was awarded. This was
in 1902. The question of filling in was
discussed There was sand on the county
property and there was some nearer the
station. The question to be decided was
which was the cheaper place to haul it
from. Steward Harbert said he would be
able, after the fall work was done, to use
his teams, and it was determined to leave
that part of the contract to him, with the
understanding that the single team at the
Asylum would also be put into service.
The trestle was built and then came the
memorable investigation at the Asylum,
after which the Almshouse teams ap-
peared to be always busy and the sand
was not hauled. The trestle was idle and
coal was hauled in the same old way, and
then the committees in charge of the two
institutions were directed to have the
work finished. A Pemberton man was
engaged to fill in the dirt and instead of
the county getting that work at cost
hardly worth consideration, it was COM
PEELED to pay $3.50
And now, after all the delay and extra
cost the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
refuses to allow its cars to run on the
trestle because the wall supporting the
approach is not of sufficient size and
strength to sustain the weight. The con-
tractor has been paid in full When the
work was given out the committee in
charge resting on the statement of the
railroad company that the contractor
knew just what kind of work was needed
in building trestles, did not think it
necessary to have representative of the
company on hand to watch the building.
Perhaps the trestle will be put in commits
sion some of these days.

Mysterious Disappearance.

=
Word has been received of the myster
ious disappearance, on February 81, Of
John A. Balm, aged 90 years. whose
home is in Camden, from boarding house
in st. Joseph, Missouri, and foul play is
suspected.
Balm was sent to ST. Joseph about ter
weeks ago by the R. D. Wood Co. to con
struct gas producer for the firm at that
place. He had never before been Sent
away by his employers and it was the first
time he had been separated from his wife
In spite of of the efforts of his family,
employers and the police department, nc
trace of the missing man has been found.
According to letters written home he
had trouble with his help ever since he
took up the work and threats of personal
violence were made against him several
times. His daily letters to his wife soon
took on respondent aspect until last
Tuesday week when he wrote cheerful
letter, saying the contract had been COM
pleted and that he would start upon his
homeward journey the following day
His wife anxiously awaited his return
and when he did not arrive she became
alarmed and went to the Office of his en-
ployers to see if they had heard from
him.
She was told they, too, had not heard
from him since February 81, the day the
work was completed. She hastily wrote
letter to his boarding house keeper in
st. Joseph and the reply which she re-
ceived stated that his trunks and clothing
were still at her house, but that he had
not been seen or heard from since the day
he quit work.
AS Balm bears good reputation among
his fellow workmen and is known to be q
sober and industrious man, it is feared that
he has met with foul play.
His wife cannot account for his strange
silence. as he was always devoted to hel
and kept in constant communication with
her.
