pose by one of Colorado's pioneer ciu-

equipment from other Y. M. G. AS, and
people in the east, were what made
the enterprise possible. Only nine
tent-cottages had been provided at the
start, but So marked was the success
of the experiment that in less than six
months the number had grown to
twenty-seven, and now it is forty-siX.
Besides these substantial tent-cot-
tages whose perfect ventilation is a
guarantee of pure air, the present
equipment includes the following: A
wooden sleeping pavilion accommo-
dating fifteen beds, two-story brick
residence, a large assembly tent, an
artesian we'll, water tower and ma
chine shop, a steam heating plant, an
improved sewerage system, electric
light and bell installation in all the
tents and buildings, etc.

BIG BARGE SINKS
Load of Fourteen Freight Cars Shifts
and Float Turns Turtle in
Ferryboats' Paths.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S:-Four men
narrowly escaped death in the North
river early today when barge loaded
with fourteen freight cars turned tur-
tie off Pier A, throwing the cars to
the bottom of the river. Two of the
men saved themselves by swinging
along hawsers connecting the barge
with tug boat. Another was fished
out of the water by deckhands on the
tug boat and the fourth was picked
up by a police launch. The sunken
freight cars are directly in the paths
of the Brooklyn annex and the Ellis
Island ferries.
The freight cars were from the
Pennsylvania railroad They were
being towed around the Battery when
the cars shifted, upsetting the barge.
The cries of the men in the water
brought Roundsman Ellis in police

deckhands on the tug had pulled out
one of the men, but Patrick Murphy

STELTON'S NEW ROAD.
It Will Run to New York and Is EX-

Residents.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 49,
1t is reported here that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company intends to
make extensive changes in its proper
ty between Stelton and New Bruns-
wick, as soon as the North River tun-
nels are completed. The railroad
company has bought the Peter Van
Deventer farm of 16O acres, along
the tracks and is negotiating for 9TH
er farms. 1t is said that a big round
house is to be located here and that
cottages will be erected for the en-
ployes engaged at the round house.
1t is also said that passenger station
will be erected at Highland Park,
which is now enjoying a boom and
which is growing rapidly. At pres
ent Highland Park people have to go
to New Brunswick or to Stelton to get
train.
1t is generally conceded that when
the tunnels are in operation that
there will be frequent fast trains. 1t
is expected that this service will de-
velop the territory between the Rar-
itan and Elizabeth wonderfully, as
residents along the railroad will be
incloser touch with New York than
are those in the boom towns on Long

period not exceeding forty years may

In all of these municipalities the
Public Service and other trolley COM
panies have at the present time prac-
tically all the franchises desired,
granted in perpetuity, with a few ex-
ceptions.
Under the proposed change in the
law the franchise to cross the bridge
might be granted in perpetuity, as
the control is vested in the boards of
freeholders of Essex and Hudson
counties and not in the governing
body of first or second class city.
In the same manner trOlleV extern

was introduced by Senator Robbins,

assembly last year, was an advocate
of the limitation of all franchises.

SNOW CAUSES
GREAT HAVOC,
R. R. Trains Late and Trolley
Service Hampered High
Winds Blew.

The first real snow storm this win
ter struck this vicinity yesterday and
played havoc with the trolleys, fer
ries and railroads. The storm broke
over this city early yesterday morning
and did not abate it's fury until last
night, when the flakes gradually
dwindled down to fine sleet, which
continued to fall The wind had a
velocity of about twenty-four miles an
hour and caused small drifts to form.
Both the north and south bound
trains in the Central railroad were
late and the commuters from this
city did not arrive at their homes un-
til nearly an hour past the usual
time.
The Staten Island Rapid Transit
had trouble and many of the trains
were late. The snow also interfered
with the boats, which required almost
double the time in making the regular
trips.
The trolley cars in this city, con-
sidering the amount of snow that fell,
ran on fairly good time rr til O'Clock
between Keasbey and M rer was ex-
cellent, cars being run almost regu-
larly every fifteen minutes, and cars
to New Brunswick were run every
hour until 11.4S o'clock last night.
After o'clock last night no care were
run to Railway on account of trouble
on that end of the line.
A large double-truck trolley car,
No. LAG, ran off the track yesterday
near Boynton Beach and considerable
trouble was experienced in getting
the car in place again. There was a
delay of half an hour.
Superintendent Partain said this
morning that all the cars today are
being run ON the regular schedule.
Some of the trains on the Pennsyl-

time, but ther were. no serious de-
lays.
