The street department of the board
of aldermen has employed John H..
Rosevear, Jr., to look after sidewalk
repairs and laying, deyoting his whole
tine to this object, which the COM
mittee has decided to push with yigor

pairs have already been made, notably

which should be fixed or where no
walks exist as yet. The committee
feel that little can be done on the
roads this year and it is time for at
tention to the much needed sidewalk

AN ANCIENT MINES CAREER
Cave-in OF a Revolutionary Aid Causes
Abandonment.

A cave in which has occurred in
Shaft No. of the Wharton mines at
Upper Hibernia, will prevent the re-
sumption of operations in that shaft
which, during two years, had been
thoroughly repaired at a great cost
and is said to contain twenty-five
foot vein of good iron ore. 1t is feared,
it will be abandoned like the Andover
and Glendon mines at Lower and Up
per dibernia, also owned by the Whar-
ton Steel Company, being too danger
GUS to continue mining. These mines
have also been counted among the
best in New Jersey and have an inter
esting history which dates back to the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
From report. made ia 1886 by j.
Wesley Pullman, the following has
been CLEANED The Hibernia ore was
first used in 1772 by John Jackson in
his forge near Dover. The first owner
of the Hibernia mines was Joshua
ADoA4 WIZ nav oiiS kiOPNAbJ up
May II, 1853. The Andover mine was
acquired by William Penn in TIA by a
warrant from the Council of Pro-
prietors. A furnace and forge were
built at this mine and operated dur
ing the Revolution by direction of
Congress. Shot and ordinance and
other iron supplies were made for the
Continental army. About It'll the
furnace passed into the possession Of
Lord Stirling, native of New York
City, commissioned in l776 by congress
as a brigadier general An analysis of
the ore showed a percentage of 60.66
of total metallic iron and 0.3524 Of
phophorus. The ore raised from 1864
to 1886 was 1,7l6,437 tons; this ton
age, however has been exceeded dur
ing the last twelve years. 1t is said
there is plan to erect pillars of con-
crete in the mines which have cayed
in and so restore their safety.

5TH DISTRICT CONVENTION.
WIN Be Held at Trenton May 5th &c
Elect Two Delegates to Chicago.

VIII Be Held at Trenton May 18th TO
Elect Two Delegates to Chicago
At the meeting Of the Fifth District
Republican Congressional Committee
at Republican headquarters in Eliza
beth last Friday afternoon call was
issued for a district convention to
elect two delegates to the Republican
National Convention at Chicago.
The district convention will be held
on May 5, the same day as the State
Convention. 1t will be called to order
at 1890 O'Clock in the Trenton House,
Trenton, ana have it's work completed
before the State delegates convene.
The basis of representation will be
one delegate for every 300 votes cast
for the candidate for Governor at the
last election. This is the same basis
as for the State Convention, and as
the primaries for each will be held at
the same time and in the same places
a request is embodied in the call that
the same set Of delegates be chosen for
each gathering.
Former Mayor Alexander Gilber, of
Plainfeld, who is president Of the
New York Clearing House Associa-
tion, was elected chairman of the
Fifth district committee for the next
two years.
H. A, VanGilder, of Morristown,
was reelected secretary another two
years.
The meeting was called to order by
the secretary, Mr.. VanGilder and JOS
eph Fulper, of Washington, Warren
county, was chosen temporary chair
man.
The Others present were John l.
Howe, of Roselle Jacob w. WEIGH, of
German Valley; j. w. Ingham, of
Belvidere Hamilton F. Kean, State
Committeeman from Union county,
and Assemblyman H. w. Buxton, of
Morris, holding the proxy for Daniel
S. Voorhees,, State Committeeman for
Morris county.
There was no talk while the COM
mittee was in session, of the delegates
to be selected from the district. The
only names mentioned outside of I'm
ion county are those of Richard H.
Williams, of Morris, and John |. Blair
Reilly, of Warren. The Union county
men who are anxious to go are Hamil-
ton f. Kean and Ernest r. Alderman.
1t was said by some of those present
that the two delegates might be
chosen from Union county and that
possibly none Of them would come from
Union, as this county has the Con
gresham. This rule has been fire.
quentiy followed.
In the convention Union win have
thirty-six delegates, Morris will have
twenty-three, and Warren ten. This
will give Union majority of three
over the other two combined.

MorriStOwn

Dear Sir: Ten years ago, there was
one pure paint and 200 adultered
there are now eight pure, 200 adulter-
ated, about half of the latter short
measure besides.
There is still but one best, and the
difference is ten gallons Devoe & Ray
nolds goes as far as eleven next best
SIN every ten gallons.
A new word has come-up in paint ;
it is strong. Strong paint goes further
and wears longer; weak paint takes
more gallons and wearS-out sooner
The proper cost of 10-gallon job is
$50. Paint that takes IL gallons
makes it $50. Paint that takes II gal
Ions makes it $50. Paint that takes
ID gallons makes it S65. Paint that
takes 20 gallons makes it 800.
The $50 job wears twice as long as
the 500. These figures are not pre-.
else; they are round. The 10-gallon
paint is Devoe & Reynolds.
Yours truly,

RAILROAD NOTES.

Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Franklin X. Lane gave hearing last
week on the complaint of the Railway
Valley Railroad Company against the
Y ackawanna Railroad. The complain
ant road runs between Aldene and
Summit. President w. w. Cole com
planned that his road wanted to build
a switch at Summit connecting it with
the Lackawanna lines at that point,
and that the latter road objected, con-
tending that any additional freight
service on it's line would interfere ser
iously with the cummuting passenger
traffic.
The Madison " Eagle" says: Chief
Engineer Lincoln Bush, of the Lacka-
wanna railroad, and his corps of as
sistants are busily engaged just now
in preparing plans for railroad improve
ments here in Madison. 1t has been
learned from reliable source that the
company has finally declined to elevate
the railroad tracks through Madison.
1t was also learned from another
source that the Lackawanna will ask
the borough of Madison to pay half of
the cost of the price of the land that it
will be necessary to acquire in order
to carry out the present plans of the
company. 1t is estimated that Madi-
sons share of the above cost would be
about SIS, 600
