swelling the receipts. The booths and
departments are filled with fancy and
useful articles, all of which are suitable
for Christmas presents. Many persons
who usually make large number of
Christmas presents each Christmas are
doing most of their Christmas shopping
at the bazaar. instead of in the stores of
this city and New York. They have
myriads of articles to choose from. At
the same time they feel that they are as
sisting in a most worthy cause and
spending their Christmas money where
it will be appreciated by hundreds of the
public school teachers. The latter are
working hard to pile up the receipts and

CONFUSION on LAND AND

NEW YORK, Dec. 20. 1e05.-Fire
started in the offices of the Laekawanna
Railroad in the ferryhouse at Twenty
third street and North river. shortly af-
ter 10 O'Clock this morning, and spread
to the ferry terminal of the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey.
The Lackawanna ferries are certain to
be destroyed.
The Erie Ferryhouse is afre. and the
flames seem likely to spread to the Penn
sylvania ferry house.
The fire started under the floor of the
Lackawanna ferry house, which is situ-
ated between the ferries of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey and the Penn
sylvania, where some painters were at
work. 1t is thought that one Of the
lamps used by painter exploded.
The ferry house was Immediately filed
with smoke and the pain,ers had great
difficulty in reaching the floor above. A
ferryboat with more than 500 passengers
aboard was just coming into the slip
when the fire started.
Volumes of dense smoke rolled up
throug h the roadway leading to the
street. The passengers were panic
stricken, but they were told to run for
the street through the smoke. This they
did, amid great confusion. The ferry
boat then backed into the river.
Reserves from the Charles street,
West Thirtieth and West Thirty
street stations were hurried to the scene
under Inspector Schmittberger.
The flames made rapid headway, and
all the freboats were pressed into ser
vice, in addition to several railroad tugs
which volunteered.
The big ferry houses built mostly of
wood. burned fercely.
Many boats on their way from the Jer-
sey side were held up in midstream.
There was great excitement. Crowds
of commuters who were landing when
the fire started crowded about the blazing
building and extra policemen were need
ed TO give the firemen chance to work.
Chief Croker. who responded to the
second alarm. ordered the third cal!
sounded. and also sent out special calls
for the fire boats.

reflections upon the men who LEFT the
Assembly caucus and place them in
false position before the people.
Views similar to these We're expressed
by Major Lentz who was here attending
to his duties as president of the State
Board for the Equalization of Taxes.
There were others here who did not
share in these views. They said that
the same issues were not at stake in the
Assembly. and that Mr.. Colby would
not at all stultify himself by participat-
ing in the caucus.
The prevailing opinion, however. was
that Mr.. Colby would be hera when the
caucus convened to-day. ready to go
in, and whether he would do 50 and re-
main all through its proceedings would
depend largeiy upon the s.ae of Affairs
he found here when he arrived.

TRENTON, Dec. 20, 19O5-The
Pennsylvania Railroad company yester-
day took a definite step for the construc-
ton of its new freight line from this city
to Elizabeth by incorporating at the State
House the Pennsylvania and Newark
Railroad company with an authorized
capital Of $5O0,ooo
The incorporators ef the new co.ssora-
toin are all connected with the PEG syl-
vania. Railroad company They &. A.

H. Barnes, Philadelphia; Henry Tatnell,
Bryn AIawr, Pa, and Frank l.. Shep-
pard, general superintendent Of the
United New jersey Railroads DIVISION
of the Pennsylvania of Long Branch.
The registered office Of the company will
be in Camden
The charter gives the object of the
new concern as follows: ITO build a
railroad extending from a point in the
boundary line of Trenton and there con-
meeting with the PENNSYLVANIA railroad
or with the railroad of any company now
or hereafter organized under the laws of
Pennsylvania and running from said
boundary line in a general northeasterly
Mercer, Midd,esex and Union, to point
in Essex county near the northern
boundary line Of Elizabeth, and there
connecting with the railroad of the
United New Jersey Railroad and Canal
Company" The length of the new line
will be about Il miles.
The preliminary arrangements for. the
construction of this line have been in
progress by the Pennsylvania for some
time. Five farms were recently purcbas-
ed in Bucks county. giving the company
new right of way from the .cut-off''
branch to the Delaware river. The line
will tap the river some distance south Of
the present stone bridge, and it is the in
tention to build new bridge for the
1.-TWO additional tracks. The jersey end
of the new bridge will be just south of
Riverview Cemetery From that point
the line has already been surveyed. The
route goes around the southern portion
of tn city, connecting with the main line
Of the Pennsylvania near the eastern con-
fines of Trenton.
The. intention of the Pennsylvania is
to secure complete new freight Ene
from Philadelphia to Jersey City. A new
line has already been constructed from a
po.nt beyond Eliza beth. across the mead
ows to Jersey City, and the road to be
constructed viii connect with this. When
the new road is completed, therefore, the
Pennsylvania will have s.x tracks ana
an independent freight line between the
cities mentioned.
Charles f. Gummere local counsel for
the Pennsylvania, fled the incorporation
papers and deposited the $500 per mile
required under the law.

Artificial Cultivation of Spensss.

An interesting Investigation nov
being carried on in Florida by the
bureau Of fisheries has for its OBJ
ject the discovery and development
of methods by which the valuable
sheep wool sponge may be cultivat
ed artifcially.
The method which promises tn,
most satisfactory results is that o;
using cuttings. Large sheep WOO
sponges are cut into small pieces
which are fastened to an insulated
wire fixed in the water, so that tn,
sponges are supported a few inche'
above the bottom. These small bits
placed at close intervals along th'
wire, soon heal and form an organic
attachment to it, and very soon be-
gin to grow. 1t is too soon to pre-
dict just what the results Will De
but the indications are, so far, yer!
encouraging, and it is believed thai
