President E. P. Ripley of the Santa

to have the case held open, so that he
might produce further testimony in be-
half Of the company, has decided that
he will let matters rest where they are.
He, like Mr.. Morton, is not involved per-

The town boards of Oneida County,
n. Y. make the following suggestion:
1--WE would not recommend that every
town in this county have built within
it's borders a road costing On the aver
age $1,000 a mile, as we believe each
town should govern itself according
to it's own local conditions, but we
have provided figures to show that no
matter whether q town has a high or
q low assessed valuation, it could. IN
der the $5O,OOO,OOO bond issue, If its
own board so desired, have, without
excessive taxation, just as wide and
just as expensive roads as any other
towns in any other part of the State.
If the county and town can devise
methods by which the roads to be built
should have an average cost of $1,000
a mile instead of $4,000 a mile, the
charge t o the town under h bond is
sue for each mile Of highway built
would be $50 for each mile the first
year; and to the county, the increase
in taxes the frstiyear for each mile OF
highway would be $40; and to the
State it would be 800. In other
words, under the S5O,OOO.OOO bond is
sue of the State, county and town
could obtain a road costing $4,000 n
mile at an increase in their annual
tax levy of $500, which under the
present system Of payment would call
for the expenditure of $4,000 in cash.
or under the bond issue they could OBJ
tain a road costing $4,000 a mile o an
increase in their tax levies of $500 in
place of raising 5000 in cash, as pro-
vided by the present method.
Under the bond issue each town and
county is free TO select as expensive a
road or as cheap a road as the local
conditions require Tribune Farmer.

who visited the ball ground last Saturday
were we'll paid for their visit. They were
| treated to the longest game of baseball IN
the history of the base ball team at this
place. With grum set features the bull.
dogs Of Jersey batted for supremacy with
the b~loodhounds of Delaware. But of no
avail. When that period of time from
3.l5 to 6.l0 was ended the boys from
Delaware were still in the lead. In such
a victory there is no glory. In such a de-
feat no disgrace. For the first time this
season OF the home grounds our BOYS
were up'against it. Although they fought
hard to gain the victory, yet at every
turn they were met with men who were
just as determined as they. If they keep
on at this rate they will oon be qualified
to enter the national league.
1t was a battle for supremacy between
Condor and Proud. Both were well sup
ported and each did the work of two men.
Condor has never pitched such a game
this season as he did last Saturday. He
was there at the critical point of the
game and kept the Wilmington bows
guessing after the third inning until the
eighteenth.
Penn's Grove had every chance to
score in the eighteenth with men on End
and fhirH aD1 an ont IIolp,oa ~

the short stop who fumbled, but regained

first. Just one awful moment OF suspense
and then all was over; PENIS Grove was
defeated 2 to /.
X Brandywine started the machine
inning in the third. PENIS Grove tied
In the fifth and there it stayed. Play as
they would neither side could score.
Men came within a few feet of the plate,
but tightening throws and sure a tches
quickly killed hope of scoring. In the
tenth inning a crowd of boys lead by one
OF their enthusiastic fans nearly caught
consumption by their yelling but of no
avail. The yells fell as rain on an iron
roof and soon all was hushedin suspense.
Gun management seems to be u~nsatis-
fed as to a suitable catcher. Ford receiy-
ed the balls, some of which were like
wireless telegraph, silent but swift. . He
proved himself worthy of his honorable
post, TAPPING the wireless message as if
they were p%laythings. Goode wa back

has been surveyed and maps submitted
to the property owners. The road VIII
switch off from the present road OIL the
upper side OF Main Street and extend
across properties of Capt. Thomas Nay

Joseph II. Crumbs, of Camden, chief
engineer of the West Jersey u Seashore
Railroad Company, and M. b. Thomas
OF Vineland, their real estate expert,
were in PENIS Grove, from Monday I'M
til Thursday noon, adjusting valuations
oil the properties over which the road
will pass. Agreements as to prices were
made with all the owners, contracts sign
ed and a forfeit paid. II the Directors
approve of the prices work will soon be-
gin.
The road will be Al feet wide and a
freight siding will be built on DR.. Sum-
merilPs land on Helms Avenue. That
will be a great benefit to farmers below
Penn's Grove as it will save a mile cart
ing their manure and will also save
much hard carting on Penn's Grove
streets.
