Fight Against Pennsy.

1t is known that Alexander Simpson,
Jr., the Philadelphia lawyer, who with
Attorney Charles Hughes, of New York
is preparing for any prosecutions that
may be broughtagainst the Pennsylvania
Railroad, has recently been in communi-
cation with President Roosevelt and At
torney General Moody, and that as a
result these lawyers have redonbled
their former efforts to get the matter
they, are working on into shape.
While it is not intended to start any
prosecutions before August, the depart
ment at Washington is very anxious to
have as many of the proposed cases as
possible in readiness before that date. so
that they may be thoroughly gone over
to prevent any delay when the machin-
cry of the law is set in motin. The
Department of Justice has instructed
Lawyers Simpson and Hughes to be
sure and give the railroads no chance to
escape, and also bring action against
them in every possible way.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has been
the greatest cause of the Coal Trust
and the levying of an 81 dollar a ton
on consumers. A does of Ohio Justice
on the Pennsy officials might cause a
decrease in the price of coal.

A GREAT

The six commissioners of New Jersey
and Delaware made a great discovery
last Friday on their sail down the Della
ware river. They found its mouth
that is, where the River ended and the
Bay begins.
1t is wonderful when you think of
the fact that it has taken nearly 300
years TO find it.
Sir Henry Hudson, an Englishman,
SET sail from Amsterdam on April a.
1909 in the Half Moon with twenty
men. In July he reached Newfound-
land and later he explored the coast of
Maine. In August he found himself in
Chesapeake Bay. Sailing Northward
on August 2Sth, he entered Delaware
Bay, which was called South River by
the Dutch. Wander Donk says: "The
bay of the South River was the first
place OF which the men of the Halye
Maan Half Noon took possession, be-
fore any Christian had been there
They sailed up along the bay side of the
country for some distance, but
tered flats, which are common there to
this day. Finding the water shoal and
the channel impeded with bars of sand.
he did not venture to explore it. The
Half Moon then sailed north and into
the North river, which has since taken
the name of its explorer, Hudson.
Well, from that time until last Fri
day no Il eve knew where the Bay
ended andthe River began. The Com
missioners found it on their trip last
Friday. They inspected the grounds
at Blackbird creek on the Delaware
SIDE and Stony Point on the New Jer-
Sey side but found that the land at
Blackbird creek was marshy and an un-
ut place for the monument. An in
VeStlgation of The land at Rays Ditch,
a mile below, was then made, with the
same result. Finally, the commission
ers decided upon a point on the Cum
MINIS farm, at Listens Point, on the
Delaware side, and 200 yards south of
the mouth of Hope Greek OH the JERSEY
side.
The New Jersey commissioners were
Senators Bradley and Avis and James
Strimpie. The Delaware Commission
ers are Alexander B. Cooper, Walter
b. Hayes, and William S. Hilles. They
went down the Bay on the Tug Tauras.
These great discoveries will un-
doubtedly rank in history with Henry
Hudson who first explored the Bay,
n Cornelius Jacobson May, who ex-
plored the river and built the first for
thereon at the mouth of Timber Creek.

The PENIS Grove Record
d JUNE 20, 1906.

From times immemorial it has been
the custom for fishermen to call all the
Delaware waters below Reedy Island
the Bay and above the River. Those
who went to Hope Creek were called
Bay fishermen. Since the interstate
commissioners have located the end of
the River and beginning of the Bay be-
low the mouth of Hope Creek, they
must be called down River fishermen.

hre committee, and a report will be
made at the next meetin
City Attorney H. l.. De kalb called
attention to the fact that the time
was near when the city must certify
up it's taxes for next year. and he
suggested that the county clerk be
asked for statement as to the value
of the property within the city linn
its, as basis for making the estimate.
Mr.. De Kalb estimated roughly that
the amount required for the ensuing
year would be about $4,000
The council will meet Aug. to op-
en- bids for the construction of the
gravity water works system, and the
necessity of getting the right of way
all cleared up was urged. Alderman
Smith said there would be no trouble
except in two cases. One of these
could probably be Strengthened out
quickly, and in the other condemna-
tion proceedings would be brought.
Mayor GARNER, of Livingston who
was present was invited to speak on
the subject of concrete work. and in
responding, Mr.. GARNER told of the ex-
perience he had had in Livingston
with cement sidewalks. He said that
il did not require any high order OF
skill to do good work in this line.
What was absolutely essential was
proper specifications, and then the
contractor must be compelled to live
up to them. The effect of loan, in
however small quantities. and of veg
etable matter in the sand was most
disastrous, and this should be special
ly guarded against. There was no
trouble whatever with frost in this
/ locality, but expansion due to heat
must be guarded against. Mr.. GARNER
/ told of various experiments and ex-
periences in laying cement sidewalks
in Livingston, and its sidewalks were
/ among the best in the state The
town was very we'll lighted, having
now SO street lights, where it had
only Ia few years ago. At the close
of his talk. Mayor GARNER was given
a vote Of thanks by the council, and
an adjournment was taken.
