SAMUEL S. DICKINSON. Secretary OF
State, has given notice of the withdraw
al of the 100000 libel suit which he
had instituted against Mayor Pagan OF
Jersey City for defamation of charac-
ter He gives as reason that the ev-
idenee presented :" can have no other
effect than to injure the regular or
ganization of the Republican party
and | am unwilling that through me
and in my name such injury shall be
inflicted during the coming campaign;
and so the suit has been discontinued
for the purpose of thwarting and pre-
venting the carrying out of any such
purpose" He failed to stop the suit,
however, until dispositions taken in
New York showed he. had gone abroad
with woman registered as Col.
Dickinson and wife" This 'corobo-
rates Corey's story and leaves Govern
or Stokes in a position where he can do
nothing but demand the secretary's
resignation as it was understood when
the appointment was made that he
bring the suit to clear his character.

TROLLEY NOTES.

The work of building the trolley
line from Rockaway to Denyille has
been halted by anainjunction secured
by the Sickle heirs, who control
about three quarters of mile OF
frontage. The company started to
build through the fields, then turned
off toward the road because it was
claimed that the right Of way cost too
much. A piece fifteen feet wide i'm
mediately adjoining the road was pur-
chased of the Earl tract, then the line
was started in the road past the
Sickle place on account of price OF a
right of way along the road. The first
thing necessary was to move some
poles back, but as fast as the trolley
men dug holes the owners men filled
them in again until the work was
abandoned. Then the injunction was
secured on the ground that the work
was being prosecuted on the Sickle
lands instead of the road and the mat
ter of the location of the side line will
have to be decided.
The gang of men has been sent back
nearer Rockaway where the loose
earth in the Mendes cut is being cut
away and hauled by small engine to
the dump. Ballast is also being
spread on the tracks.
At Denviile : the work Of depress-
ing the highway under the tracks is
moving slowly. The steam shovel is
at work with train Of four cars on a
narrow guage track to tend it. the
earth being dumped in the low ground
near by. The deep ditch to drain the
depressed road is nearing completion,
the laborers being at work close to the
road. The railroad has raised the
tracks of the Boonton branch some
what at the crossing to give better
head room and the secondary inter-
locking plant which controls the
Rockaway branch is being rebuilt and
the tower removed to the east bound
side ofsthe Boonton branch tracks.

AN important excise decision has
been rendered by the Supreme Court
in suit brought by members of the
Mount Zion chapel, Church Of the
First Born, Of Elizabeth, against the
Excise Board to prevent the relicens-
ing of a hotel whiting 200 feet of the
chapel. The contention was that it
was not church or chapel within the
meaning of the law as the pastor re-
sized in the building; it had no pews
and chairs were provided for the ac-
commodation of people, it had no
board of trustees and had no civil in
corporation. After hearing the evil
dence the Court decided that the
chapel was a church within the mean
ing Of the law.

in June. Ice was formed the thick
ness of common window glass though
out New England, New York and
some parts of Pennsylvania on the
fifth of July InGian corn was so frozen
that the greater part was cut down
and dried for fodder in August and
farmers supplied themselves from the
corn produced in 1915 for the seed Of
the spring of 1871"
" The Daily Times, " of Stroudsburg,
Pa, quoting the above adds this
During that summer the corn crop
in this section of tie State was COM
plete failure. There were few farmers
in Monroe county at that time and
they had to get along on scant food
for their stock all through the year.
Next spring they were obliged to pay
