To pay s15.5OO for about thirty
acres of swamp land at Runyon is
decidedly more to the advantage of
the Fountains. who WI 1t, than TO
the purchaser. Therefore for the
water board 20 hire a high-priced law
yer to fight the people in a determi-
nation to pay this sum is much like
using the peoples money to pay
lawyer, for a lawyer in
the employ OF the Fountains could
not put up a better fight against the
city. The most aggravating part o:
It all is that the city is already paying

TRUNK LINE TROLLEY.

An interesting suggestion come:
from Staten Island in connection with
the proposed new ferry between this
city and T%ottenyllle. In the last Issue
of the Staten Islander, published IT
st. George. s. l., was the following
editorial:
THE scheme Il run a new ferry
line from Perth Amboy to Tottenyille
and a trolley from the latter place to
Richmond may be part of an enter
prising effort TO have a grand trunk
line by trolley from Philadelphia TO
st. George. A prominent local rail-
road man seems to think SO; in fact,
he has been thinking it out for a long
time, although ne has no connection
whatever with the scheme.
"a ferryboat might be brdlt to car
ry double truck motor ears over the
Staten Island Sound by water route
and run them right on to Richmond
TO connect with the Midland trolley
line.
This same thing has been though;
out many a time, and now is it com
ing? At any rate, the Rapid Transit
people are noting the Importance OF
the movement, ard would shut it out
II they could. Last Friday night the
city council of Perth AmbOy held 9
public hearing on the application of
the new company for a ferry fran
chise and Senator George A. Silzer,
who appeared at attorney for the ap-
plicants, was vigorously opposed by
Adrian Lyon, as Counsel for the
Staten Island Rapid Transit Railwa!
The latter promised a re-
duction of fares to six tickets for
twenty-five cents, a new boat to cost
$50, 900, and other Improvements, If
the new franchise asked for were re-
fused, but not otherwise.
This may not be, although 1t looks
on the surface to be, the old story Of
a monopoly being driven to Improve
ments by threatened competition. At

onne. George S. Silzer. a lawyer Of
Perth Amboy, with Offices II New
Brunswick, is named as agent for the
company. Mr.. Silzer is not ready to
a34s4ee plans in detail, but he says
that the undertaking has been started
ana elil ne carried through Oh q large
scale. Negotiations are under way
for water front property in Perth
Amboy. II is understood that the
site referred to is near the foot OF
Fayette street. Three large parcels
of land at the foo. OF Main street,
! T%ottenville, were recently purchased
by agents of those behind the ferry
company and the electric trolley
company, jointly.
Frederick Griffin, of 80 Park row,
and w. j. Lally, a railroad contractor
OF Manhattan, representing a syndi-
cate, have taken preliminary steps
toward organizing a company 10 OPP
crate a trolley line between Rich
mond, Kreischerville, Roseville and
Tottenville. This will open up for
development some OF the choicest
residential portions of Richmond
county. The length of the G sys-
tenn will be nine miles, and the COM
pany will be capitalized for 100000.
Application for a charter will be made
at once. and 1t is hoped tc have the
trolley in operation within a year. 1t
is possible that this new ferry and
railroad may have some afhliation
with the heavily constructed, fast
trolley line now being built across
New Jersey.
The announcement Is creating a
sensation throughout the vicinity af-
fected, and particularly in Totem
vile, where the news has. fallen like
a bomb among rapid transit interests.
The situation is particularly interest
ing because of the movement for a
municipal ferry from the Battery. to
Tompkinsville, which received new
impetus recently as a result of the
hearty support Controller Metz gave
it. Commissioner J. A. Bensel, of the
Department of Docks and Ferries, is
in close accord with Mr.. Metz, so that
Richmond is apparently soon to have
greatly increased transportation facil-
tiles.

The Pluck of the wounded Ranger.

lHe AluCh VI the WOuAfutu Eethbeh.
Mr.. Ciawson slouched slowly and
painfully in the tracks of the runaway
horse. With his eyes he followed the
trail. With his brain he evolved var
ious means of escape. Behind him
In the deserts hush he could hear the
velvet footballs Of the ranger. Some
times for a hundred yards they would
come TO him regularly, then stumb-
lingly, h~altingly. Once he thought
the man behind had fallen. but when
he had glanced over his shoulder he
was on his feet lurching forward.
Keep your eyes ahead" he had
snapped, and Clawson had obeyed.
After that a mile of thorny scrub
dragged past them, and it seemed TO
the man In front that his captor Kept
to his feet through the sheer force OF
his iron will. Then the round, red
sun leapt above the mesquite and the
scorching border heat was upon them.
Precipitation ran in rivrlets from
the band OF Mr.. C~lawson's heavy hat.
II got into hfpeyes and blinded him.
1t ran into the orner OF his burning
lips and tasted salty to l,is dry

when he forgot all else but the blind

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8.
HOW SENATOR DRYDEN STANDS.

1t will be remembered that before
the election last month Senator Dry
den announced that he was a friend
of Roosevelt and he wanted to be re-
elected to the United States senate
in order to help the president carry
out his policies.
President Roosevelt has announced
his policies in his recent message. 1t
would be well for Senator Dryden to
tel the people of New Jersey how he
stands, now that there Is really some
thing to stand for.
Perhaps our good friend. James
Martin, who came over from the New
York Tribune to manage the Newark
Advertise, will address Senator Dry
den in n letter, on the questions in
volved. 1t will be remembered that
when Mr.. Martin first took up his
duties with the Advertiser he wrote
to the Insurance president asking him
If he stood by Roosevelt.
Senator Dryden replied most en-
phatically that he did and recited in
stances to prove 1t, T%hereupon Mr.
Martin announced that he stood for
Senator Dryden and the Newark Ad-
vertiser has been the best hacker
Dryden has had.
Senator Dryden might be asked IL
he would vote in favor of an income
and inheritance tax which the presi- !
dent recommends; whether or not
he fayors federal incorporation laws;
amendments of the rate law; federal
control of marriages and divorce;
federal power to enforce treaties in
spite of powers now reserved for the
states; and many other policies rec
commended in the presidents mes
sage and all of which will be passed
upon by congress during the next SIX
years. Senator Dryden says he stands
by Roosevelt and wants 10 help him.
VIII the senator tell the people whe-
Their or not he favors these things?
But the people will have a chance
to know whether or not Senator Dry
den really intends to help Roosevelt.
A bill passed the house last year
limiting the hours of railroad em
ployment. When it reached the sen
ate, Senator La Toilette endeavored
to have it made a part of the railroad
rate bill, but the railroad senators
fought it and by lodging, first one
way and then the other, they succeed
ed in having the bill laid over until
the present session.
President Roosevelt, in his mes
sage. favored An eieht-hoar day fol-
II railroad snen and this means taat
he insists that this bill SHAH be passed.

Mr.. John w. Crockett was taken sud-
denly and violently i'll last Thursday
and for while his family and friends
we're much alarmed about his condition.
He is now better and will be alright
soon.
Miss Sallie Davis, from Richmond,
Va, passed through town yesterday on
her way home, spending the day with
her friend, Miss Martin. Miss Davis
has been teaching at Liberty for the
past seven months.
A. T..Conley, who shot and killed A..
C. Eldridge, near Pocahontas, Va, on
the 23rd of last February, was captured
at Coeburn, Va, yesterday by Geo. W.
Mays, Chief of Police at Pocahontas,
and brought here and lodged in jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Misses Carrie Martin and Maggie Gil
lespie, Messrs. John and Luther Copen-
haver attended a most delightful dance
given by the young men of ''The Cove"
at Mrs. Whites near Liberty, on last
evening. They claimed to have danced
from the setting of the sun to the ris-
ing of the same.
The hearing of the motions made by
the Commonwealth to increase the as
sessments on various boundaries Of coal
lands in this county was considered on
last Friday. Judge Henson increased
the assessments on nearly all such lands;
and the result will be an addition Of
about $1,000 to the revenues Of the
State and county, combined.
According to the census recently Ia
ken by enumeration in this county it
has been ascertained that the popula-
ton of Tazewell county, including its
towns, amounts to something over 25,-
500 persons. We have been unable to
ascertain the exact figures. The pop
ulation in 1900, by the Government cen
sus, was 1884. So there has been
gain of more than 1000 in less than
six years.
Monday afternoon a serious cutting
ARRAY took place in the store of Steele,
Hurt & Co., at Pounding Mill, this
county. We are unable to get the de-
tails of the affair, but hear that man
by the name of Bill Reed attacked Geo.
Pruett with knife and inflicted several
serious wounds in the abdomen, one of
which it is feared viii prove fatal.
Deputy Sheriff H. F. Peery left this
morning for Pounding Mill to try to ar
rest Reed who is still at large.
