Miss Emma Dayton, Of South
AmhOy, Advised by Free
holders Who Called
BRIDGE HEARING ON.
Two Witnesses Were Called
This Morning. Freehold |
ers Close Their Case.
Special to the Evening News:


NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. 81
The Amboy bridge hearing was on
again today for a short time and an
adjournment was then taken until
November II, when C. A. Bloomfield
will bring his side forward again
Two witnesses were called this
morning, former Freeholder Frank
E. De Graw, of South Amboy, and
Miss Emma Dayton, of South Amboy
the first woman to be brought into
the litigation
Miss Dayton's testimony was of the
sensational order and serious
charge was involved. She is the
daughter of the late Mrs. Mary E.
Dayton, who was a part owner of the
Wolff approach, which the freehold
ers at first considered before they de-
cided upon the approach through the
Fouratt land, the one now in use.
Miss Dayton testified that three
men including at least one of the
freeholders went to her and inform
ed that they were considering pur-
chasing the Wolff lands and he sug-
gested to her that she place large
price on the land. She took his prop
osition as a joke when he told her
that she ought to charge 100000 for
it. She replied that she would sell
her part for half that sum.
Lawyer W. p. Voorhees,, counsel
for Mr.. Bloomfield, asked her who
that freeholder was. She replied that
she could not remember.
Former Freeholder Dr. Graw tes-
tilted that, while a member of the
Board of Freeholders in 1902, he Sc
cured the approach on the South AM
boy side for nothing from Mrs.
Fouratt

grain in the world for each bushel
weighs from SO to SIS pounds
AS maize is little known in Europe,
a brief description of 1t may prove in
teresting. The grain is about the size
of a bean, flat and hard, of yelloWish
white color, though some times red
and occasionally speckled. 1t grows
on ears to 16 inches long and to Z
inches in circumference. Inside of the
ears is a moderately hard substance
upon which the grains grow side by
side, the arrangement being entirely
different from that of wheat, barley,
and rye. On each ear there are always
from II to / 6 rows of grains. The ear
is tightly covered with shucks, consist
ing of or 4 leaves growing out of the
stalk.
All parts of this valuable plant are
useful. The dried leaves make excel
lent fodder for horses; the tasSels,
stalks, and shucks are fed to the cat
tle and the grains feed the population,
both white and black, as already
stated.
A bushel of corn suffices to plant
nearly 20 acres of land, and if the soil
is good this land will yield $50 tons,
or 1850 bushels, which is an astonish-
ingly large return.
In August and September the plant
which are adorned with beautifully
colored silk. The male blossoms are at
the top of the stalk, the female ones
about half way down at the end of the
ears. The stalks are to 10 feet high,
and each produces 3 or 4 ears.
Experiments have been made which
prove that a single male blossom can
fructify the ears of 500 plants. 1t has
also been found that if all the male
blossoms in a field are cut off, fructi-
fication viii nevertheless result from
pollen borne by the wind from plants
growing at a distance of as much as
two miles.
In North Carolina large quantities
of deer skins and furs are collected.
The principal article of expectation,
however, is hogs. Of these animals
astonishingly large numbers are raised.
They are driven in herds of 400 to 500
individuals to the falls of the James
and Roanoke rivers and to other more
densely populated portions of the
country. These hogs are sold alive
for the spot price Of IL shillings pro
100 pounds, or 20 shillings if they
have been driven to a market.
Venison is very cheap, a large skim
ned deer bringing not more than half
a crown The price for stag skins,
dried with the hair, is about a shilling
a pound. Raccoon skins bring 6 pence
each, otter skins or 3 shillings, an
