RESCUED FROM OBLIVION.
The Graves Of the Men Killed in
Battle Of Trenton Finally
Cared For.

II sorrow comes to those in the sunny
hand on the other side Of the Styx, then
the shades of the revolutionary heroes
must have been saohened for many years
past BY the neglect OF the nation to care
for the last resting place Of the men who
fell In the fight at Trenton, when Wash
ington crossed the Delaware and fell on
the unsuspecting Hessians. On the bank
of the river near the spot where the his
torical crossing was made nearly hun
bred dead were buried in soldiers graves
when the victorious colonials returned
to the Pennsylvania side Of the Della
ware. The graves were marked with
small slabs Of stone taken from one Of
the quarries in the vicinity, and the
army passed on, to fight and win once
more. As years rolled on the little
group Of graves on the bank Of the Della
warewas forgotten. The spot is lone
~ one on the edge of . wheat field, far
from the beaten track of travel, and no
one was likely to pass that way but an
occasional hunter OF fisherman. AS the
trees grew bigger and the grass and
weeds more wild, the modest little slabs
Of stone were hidden from view entirely,
and there was dagger that the burial
ground Of the patriotic dead would be
forgotten entirely and the brown head
pieces be taken for the ordinary encum-
brances Of the land and hurled into the
Delaware by some thoughtless tiller Of
the soil.
To the credit Of Bucks county beitre-
corded that some patriot recalled that
thedead soldiers were buried on the spot,
and feeble effort was made to preserve

To 'INVESTIGATE OWNERSHIP.
y.cOrisia Railroad Commission is After
the Georgia Central

Atlanta. Ga, oct. l9.-The members
Nf the state railroad commission met
here today 10 make an investigation
concerning the ownership of the Geor-
Gia Central railway which is said to
be owned by the southern railway.
President Samuel Spencer of the
southern railway ana Major j. f. Han
son, ri the Central Of Georgia railway
have been summoned to- appear before
the commission and will he asked To
testify in the investigation.
The investigation is the outcome of
the rivalry between the Central of
Georgia and the Augusta Southern
railways. The minority stockholders
of the August Southern railway, which
is owrF,d ana controlled by the South
ern railway, filed petition some time
ago charging that the Central of Geor-
Sia railroad was the property of the
southern and that the latter operated
the Augusta Southern in such "a man
ner as i" prevent competition.
II IL can be proven that the Central
is owned and controlled by the South
crn it viii mean large reduction in
freight rates. Under the present tariff,
each road charges local freight rates.
while, II II can be proven that the
southern road owns the Central only
one through rate can be charged on
shipments. This reduction would mean
saving of many thousapds Of dollars
to the shippers every year
