RAILROAD NOTES.

The Montclair correspondents have
sent out story of another railroad
connection for the Morristown & Erie.
The scheme has been on the carpet
for months, plan having been de-
yised to build a line from Essex FellS,
where tho M. & e. connects with the
Erie, to Montclair, opening up the
beautiful country around Old chester
and the Livingston region, tunnelling
the mountain at MonUclair and COM
ing out near where the Montclair
branch of the Lackawanna ends,
where a connection could be made
with that road and by bridging and a
little further extension connect with
the Erie the Essex Fells Erie connec-
tion, thus avoiding Great Notch and
the hills and being considerably Short
er. The report goes on to say that
the conditions of the money marke t
are such that the work will not be
undertaken at once.
The Lackawanna Railroad Company
made a considerable shifting of ofli-
cials on November /, among the
changes being j. G.. Sickles, train
master, to be assistant superintend-
ent, Office at Hoboken; Frank Click,
assistant trainmaster, to be passenger
trainmaster, Office at HOboken; w.
FL. Bailey, assistant trainmaSter to
be freight trainmaster, main lines,
Hoboken to Dover. inclusive, and
Montclair and Passaic 81 Delaware
branches, Office at Hoboken; NJ J.
McGowan, assistant chief train de-
spatcher, to be freight trainmaster,
main line and branches west of Dover,
Office at Port Morris, and II. G. Holt,
appointed supervisor of stations, Office
at Hoboken.
The winter schedule went into ef-
feet on the Lackawanna on Sunday.
The changes between Morristown and
New York on the week days are slight,
with the exception that the 9.25 and
1925 are withdrawn from the evening
service The 8.34 a. m. will hereafter
start from Morrstown and the SIP
stop here. All communication be-
tween points west of Morristown and
this place is shut off after seven
O'Clock from Dover Several trains
are taken off the Sunday schedule, the
most manifest alteration being in the
fact that you cannot get here on Sun
day morning before 1927, unless you
arrive at 6.25.
Notices have been posted all along
the line of the Lackawanna Railroad
to the effect that the wages OF loco
motive drivers. tiremen, conductors
and brakemen on all trains have been
raised, the increase dating from No
vember /. The raise of wages
amounts to twenty-five cents day
for engine drivers, ten cents for fire.
men, ten cents for conductors and fif-
teen cents for brakemen.

"The squirrel is dead" was the
mournful expression at the Hillside
Public School Tuesday afternoon. Ever
since school opened this fall the pupils
have watched pretty squirrel run
daily up and down pig nut tree in
the rear of the school house probably
filling it's store house with winter sup
plies. On Tuesday about noon some
Of the children saw men shoot down
the squirrel from the tree and crush
out it's life. And men call it sport to
go out and take the lives of harmless
little creatures such as this one. A
branch of the LaRue Holmes Nature
Lovers League has recently been or
ganized in the school to teach kind
ness to animals and the care of flowers
and plants. On the other hand from
the above story there is that of a lit
tie girl four and half years old who
went to the lecture recently given un-
der the auspices of the league and the
next day finding feather Ia her win
ter hat pulled it out not wanting to
wear it.

Not Defeated.
Now that Mr.. Burke has completed
his cyclonic campaign of thunder and
wind, and the atmosphere has become
cleared of the dust which affected the
vision of number of good people,
would it not be well for the AntI-Sa-
loon League to g take stock" and see
just about where it stands as COM
pared with few months ago.
1t evidently had money to burn
and burned it freely, using about the
last of it however on the evening be-
fore election. 1t succeeded in getting
the Prohibitionists to forswear allie
glance to their one idea prohibition
or nothing, and join with the Dem
ocrats "a remarkable combination
in an effort to defeat Mr.. Buxton and
elect two Democrats to promote the
| interests Of temperance reform. Think
of it!
And what are the net results? 1t
kept its victim only a few hundred
votes behind his running mate, and
a less distance behind the Senator,
against whom there was no organized
opposition. 1t also finds itself with
an impaired reputation and an empty
treasury, and with a discredited loby.
iSt on its hands.
Now if the League will return Mr..
Burke and his brother, who especially
recommends him as being fighter, to
the "wild and woolly," where literal

such scenes as we have recently wit
messed are simply interesting and send

Board of Education of Passaic school
District Call Another Meeting.

For the third time the Board OF
Education of the Passaic School Dis
trict has called special election for
the erection and equipment of a new
school building in Stirling, the date
being November Is. Heretofore the
voters of the district have passed upon
two propositions, the school in that
place and one to be erected on the
Baxter place on the Basking Ridge
road. In this latest call for an cleo
tion the BaSking Ridge road school
scheme has been dropped and even the
plans for a new building in Stirling
have been modified. The present
scheme is to erect new building on
the present lot, and to equip it with
new furniture, the entire cost not to
exceed $4,000, this amount to be raised
by nine bonds of 81 900 each, one to be
issued for one year and two each for
the succeeding four years. The ballot
to be voted will also carry a clause
authorizing the board to sell the old
school building.
