COAL WOULD COST MORE.
Railroad Agent, for That Reason, OBJ
iaAnf. u EnIrn iii

jects to Fake Bill.
TRENTON, Mar. 6-The follow
ing is the opinion of one of the rail-
road agents here of a bill just intro
dueed in the house. The agent re-
ferred TO said:
Mr.. Fake, of Bergen, has intro
duced bill making it unlawful to
use bituminous coal in locomotives
on New Jersey roads. The difficulty
is that owing to the quantity of hard
coal now available, We're the bill to
become law, the demand for lard
coal would be so much greater fssn
at present as to cause material in
crease in the price of coal to the In
diN!dual consumer. Additionally. the
t;l would require the changing of
t'e egea.er number of locomotive fire
boxes to comply with the Law. This
would necessitate the withdrawal OF
these locomotives from service, thus
reducing the number of trains re-
quired to meet the present demands
of travel. The ostensible object Of
this bill is to obtain relief from the
offensive smoke of locomotives, which
is Of so damaging a character as to
cause popular protest, but the proper
and q better remedy would be to re-
quire the railroad companies to adopt
smoke consumers which would be far
preferable to so drastic remedy as
the one proposed by the Fake bill.

WOMAN SAVES DROWNING BOY
Jumps from Auto, Throws Him Rope,
Takes Him Home,

:
CENTREVILLE, Mar. 6:-Wallace
Cairns, fourteen years old, had mar
row escape from drowning in Jami-
sons mill pond near Centreville yes
terday. The boy, with several others,
was playing "tickly bender" when
the ice began to crack. All reached
the shore in safety except Cairns,
who had been further out than the
others. He went through an airhole,
but clung to the edge of the ice, call
ing for help.
The boys were so excited that they
ran up and down the road shouting
to each other, but offering no aid.
The ice kept breaking beneath
Cairns's grasp and he was rapidly be-
coming exhausted when big touring
car containing two men apd two
women clad in fur came around a
bend The driver saw the struggling
boy and brought his machine to a
stop so suddenly that the occupants
were almost thrown out. 1t took but
moment for the four to get out of
the auto, and then one of the women,
who seemed more cool than the
others, took long rope from the ma
chine and directed the driver to cast
one end of it to the drowning boy.
Twice it fell short, and she threw it
herself.
The end fell directly in front of
Cairns, who barely had strength
enough to seize it, The women then
helped to pull him to the shore,
where he became unconscious. He
was wrapped in furs and speedily
taken to his home, where restoratives
were applied and he was given a hot
bath. The names of those in the
auto could not be learned.

Farmers Appear Before Senate Com
mittee on Municipal Corporations.
TRENTON, Mar. 6:-The senate
committee on municipal corporations
yesterday afternoon granted a hear
ing on two bills (senate Nos. Is and
I123) which modify the limited fran
chise acts which were passed last
year. The advocates of the pending
bills were almost entirely made up of
farmers and members of the differ
ent oranges of the state.
Horace Roberts, of Hunterdon
county, bluntly asked that the limit
ed franchise bill passed last year be
repealed.
Z. p. Voorhees,, president of the
State Agricultural Society, said that
if farmers could have freight carry
ing trolley lines they would be great
ly benefited. AS Mr. Roberts had
said, under the present limited fran
chise act, such lines>could not be had.
Cheap and rapid transportation were
what the farmers needed.
Samuel Fort, of Burlington coun-
ty, declared that the passage of the
limited franchise act had discouraged
the building of trolley roads in rural
districts. 8

PRIVILEGES OF OLD AGE.

Old age has its drawbacks. but it
has also its privileges. Not the least
of these is leisure; not idleness, for
that way lie wretchedness and disin-
tegration-but freedom from the
stress of unlovely rivalry, and oppor-
tunity for the calm and moderate pur-
suit of congenial occupation. With it's
advent one may doff the armor, but
not the apron. and choosing ones
bench, work, not as a slave, but as a
master.-U. S. Senator William P.
Frye, in the March Circle.

CONSOLIDATION NOT LIKELY.
Sentiment Is Now Against Union of
Two PlainfieIds.


PLAINFIELD, Mar. 6:-Consoli
.dation of the borough of North Plain
field with the city of Plainfeld, across
the county line of Somerset and
Union counties, which has been the
hope of many North Plainfielders for
a dozen years, has probably been
given a death blow by the appoint
ment of a commission to study the
question and report how the union
can be effected. This commission
was appointed at the instance of
Mayor Fisk, of this city, by the COM
mon councils of the two towns.
The first man appointed TO this
commission was former Mayor Alex
aDder Gilbert, of this city, as chair
man. He at once gave notice that he
would not serve unless his committee
was given power to see whether the
people of both towns were unani-
mously in favor of the consolidation
and whether the merger could be leg
ally effected.
Lawyers say that in order to effect
the act of consolidation the whole
state law would have to be changed
in order to allow body consisting
of the governing bodies of part of
two counties to administer the laws.
Consolidation nearly became q
reality six years ago, when the people
were given chance to vote on ii.
The measure was lost by only few
votes. AS soon as tnat election was
over the 'antis" hurried to Trenton
and obtained repeal of the bill
which had shortly before been passed
to allow annexation.
This agitation has been kept alive
with outbursts of enthusiasm at var
ious intervals, but the present effort
has given a chill to the advocates of
the scheme.
