Fire at the ShsDs

At one o'clock Sunday the
whistles down at the railroad
yards notified the people that a
fire had broken out down at
the shops. The fire was dis
covered in the pump house at
the settling tanks and was we'll
under way before q stream was
turned onto it. The company
h Is a city hydrant and a plenti-
fll supply of hose at the shops
for just such occasions, so the
city fire department is not mes
sessasy over there in fighting
a small fire. Two lines of hose
were LAID and played on the
blaze, but it was a bad fire to
get at, as it was under the roof
of the building, but after half
an hours work by the railroad
company fire gang the fire was
gotten under control. In the
upper part of the building was
stored the chemicals for the
cleansing of the water before
it goes into the tanks and many
were afraid of an explosion Of
these chemicals but all were as
sured that they would not ex-
plode and the men then worked
with a better will. The loss on
the building and contents is
put at about 5000.

P. R. R. MAKING.
BIG CHAN GES
at Railway Under
Way Large Turntable
Being Built.

ThePennsylvania Railroad Company
is putting in a new large, but tenn
porary turnable at Railway Junction
and removing the old one that was
used for hat purpose. A huge steam
derrick elevated the stone central
pier a solid stone of many tons
weight, replacing it by another of
improved shape. In the coming
spring a ~" is to be placed at the
junction for the better shifting of
the trains. Temporary tracks have
been placed there for winter use.
Hundreds of cars are stored there
now. The buildings along the east
side of the main track have been re-
moved from the junction to Milton
avenue. This wide strip of vacated
land is to be used as a temporary
track while the main line is being
elevated.
In addition to the sale of 500
acres of land near Scott avenue to a
syndicate about a month ago, it is
learned that other and still larger
sales have just been completed and
more still are in process of compile
ton, until nearly every farm lying
between Scott avenue, Railway, to
Linden, between st. Georges avenue
and the shore, has been purchased.
The "A. B. Shotwell farm is being bid
for and will probably be sold next
week. The Ludlow farm at Linden,
has already passed title, some of the
Roll properties are sold and others
partly purchased, besides many
whose real owners are not known
outside of their own boundries. The
price paid averages about $500 10
$1,000 per acre, including meadow,
swamp, grass OF woodlands, taking
them as they come, acre by acre. Ar
rears of taxes, many the accumula-
ton of years standing, are paid with
out a question, with interest allowed
by law, added to the purchase price.
This puts miles square of farm prop
critics into the hands of the synd-
icate, the names of its members ami
objects of the association are mat
tiers of conjecture. In the vicinity
of Picton, along the line of the Lee
high Valley railroad, the same tact
les are being displayed, only on not
SO large a scale. Rumors are rife of
huge proposed purchases of the New
Jersey Central Railroad, as far south
as Bound Brook. Tremendous
schemes for the future are in the
air, with Railway in the centre.

READS LAW IN
NAUGHTY POST CARDS.

TRENTON, Sept. 20:-Judge Ian
ming, in the United States district
court yesterday, made a strong
charge to the grand jury about al
legged violations of the act of cong
ress excluding obscene postal cards
from the mails and making their
posting a criminal offense.
The court said that for many
months the post Office in the norta-
ern part of the state had been gath
ering up these cards and inspectors
had been working on the cases.
AS the senders, in many cases, did
not affix their names, but little clue
to their identity was furnished and
the inspectors have had a hard time
of it running down the culprits.
The court read from the United
States statutes showing this matter
n for criminal prosecution and
strongly urged the grand jurors to
probe any case which might be
brought to their attention.
