MRS. kA lie Il. LEAR IMPROVING.
The Caucasian is gratifed to report
that Mrs. Kate B. Lear is doing well.
Mrs. Lear experienced narrow escape
Monday which seems providential.

Smith Furniture Company drawn by
two horses running away collided with
the light wagon in which she was rid
ing. This rig was wrecked. Mrs. Lear
was extricated and taken to the Hani-
tarium where her condition was con-
sidered precarious. Mrs. Lear is out of
all danger nov.
1t appears that the driver of the team
had been called into house and left
his team standing unhitched 1t is for
turiate that Mrs. Lear was not fatally or
seriously injured.

this item amounting to $SS5,890
The assessed value of all the steam
railroads in New Jersey in 1905, be-
fore the second-class property was as
sessed locally, was 1886, 720,571, in
Guiding equipment and all personal
property and about $60,00O,000 in
franchises. The ostensible capitaliza-
ton of the trolley roads in the State
is only about $1S,OO0,O0O less than the
assessed value of all property used
for railroad purposes in 1905, and the
cost of the trolley roads is only about
$5S,000,000 less.
In point of fact, the real value of
the trolley roads in New Jersey will
not compare with that of the steam
railroads by many hundreds of mil
lions. The property of the Penn
sylvania Railroad alone is worth
much more than the combined troll
ley roads in the State, including their
franchises. The fact that only nine
out of the eighty-three trolley compa-
MES in the State paid dividends last
year speaks for the great overcapital-
ization.
