SWITCHDACK ROAD
BEING BUILT UP MOUNTAIN
IN WEST ORANGE.
It Is to Take the Place Of the Old Cable
Road, and Is Two-thirds
finished.

After an expensive and futile attempt
to establish a satisfactory and saIe
railroad directly up the Orange Noun
tain in the vicinity of the old caole
road, West Orange. a switchback ROAD
has been started and is now rapidly
nearing completion on the side OF the
mountain. The last experiment proved
a fatal one, as the car that was 10

with all the dangerous grades. snd up
to the present time the serious in
clines have been avoided and the ROAD

Starting along the line of the old
cable road at a point near Walker oad
and ignoring for the present the steep

out a route tina is planned TO reach
the top of the cable road route and
o oineT spur THE peaf fine nignaes acre across the
mountainside in typical switchback
fashion, seeking an easy route up an
otherwise difficult incline, Inc iine n ~
work will be finished on the
in the near future.
The mountain top at hat point where
the road will terminate promises to be
a well-patronized spot in the future, as
1t was in the past, when an amusement
resort topped off the summit. A hotel
to cost a small fortune will be con-
there, and there will be other
attractions in the near future, 1t is
pected. The trolley line must have a
connection with the present trolley
system, however, and until that is es
there will be little value for
the line so far as travellers from the
Oranges and the other sections of Es-
sex County are concerned.

Warsaw, Russian Poland, April %.
"A notorious brigand, Stanislaus Lis,
the author of many crimes, has been
captured at Lublin, ninety-five miles
from here, mortally wounded, after
the house in which ne had sought ref

tillery fire.
Lis, when he saw that a detachment

barricaded himself within and opened
fire on the police, killing several of
them. Troops were summoned to the
assistance of the police, but they were
unable to dislodge the bandit. Finally
several quick-fire field pieces were
brought up and trained on the house.
Eight shells hit the building, which

try stormed the ruins and found Lis,
desperately wounded, trying to reload
his revolver, which he had emptied at
