Prosperity Showing.

Prosperity has come to the Lehigh
and New England Railroad and it has
begr1 to spend money. This road is
among the first to undertake improve
ments. 1t closed a contract with the
Pennsylvania Steel Company yesterday
for the building of two bridges, to cost
approximately $4,000.
One bridge will be built over the
Delaware River at Portland above
Easton. It will have river spans 925
feet in length and the viaduct ap-
proach will be 934 feet long, The total
of 1859 feet will require 1900 tons of
structural steel. This bridge will cost
about 800, 900. The other bridge is to
be built over the Paulin's Kill, near
Hainesburg Junction, N. j., and will
be 155 feet long. The steel to be used
will weigh 1875 tons and the cost will
be in the neighborhood of $40, 900.
In addition to these contracts the
Lehigh and New England has ordered
three locomotives for June delivery
from the Baldwin Locomotive Works
Another indication of this railroads
confidence in the permanency of the
upward trend of business is given in
an Increase of coal car order, which
it recently placed with the Cambria
Steel Company. The new turn of
affairs has made it necessary for the
company to have 800 instead of $50

WRIGHT is
VERY STUBBORN.

Detective Lore and Officer Smith had
William Wright, the husband of
Amanda Wright in the detectives S
office Tuesday afternoon and put him
through severe and searching grill.
Wright professed ignorance of his
wife's reputation while living here
several years ago, and he declared that
he had never been informed of her
having been in prison-sent up from
this county for two years for thefts
from Mrs. Smith, and for one year for
thefts from Nucam Kenin's.
He declared that he knew nothing
about the goods found in his house at
the time it was searched by the officers
and which were alleged to be the re-
suits of robberies.
He explained that some lamps found
were the property of Mrs. Hill which
she had left with them when she moved
away and a rug and some curtains
were the property Of Elinora Harris,
who he had helped to move and which
she had left with them, with the un-
derstanding that if she did not send
for them within two or three months
they might use them He said the
piece of wall paper which came from
the Elks' rooms and which was found
n~his house, was given to him, the
circumstances of which he explained
with great elaboration. He had no
explanation to give about his wife hav-
ing two roasts of meat-a roast of beef
and roast of yeal-at the same time;
didn't concern about her extravaganza
as he supposed she had got it at the
butcher shop.
The man talked very intelligently
and didn't seem able or willing to
afford any useful information to the
officers Whatever they got they had
to drag out by inference and not by
what he would tell them.
The indications are more and more
apparent that the officers have very
stubborn puzzle to unravel in the whole
precious gang now in custody.

A FRIENDS ESTIMATE
OF COLON COOK,

j. G. Kingdom, editor of the Mt.
Holly News, speaks of the late w.
COLON Cook as follows:
Mr. Cook was elected Supervising
Principal of the Mount Holly schools
IN 1895, entering upon his duties on
the Goth of March of that year. He
had been teaching at Clayton, and was
chosen from 26 applicants. His char
acter, demeanor, and the reputation
ne had in school matters, commended
him to those who had charge of the
selection of a Principal He was a
modest man, an illustration of which
may be given in single incident.
He noticed there was vacancy at
Mount Holly, and he remarked to his
wife that he had notion of putting in
an application, although he did not
feel very confident of securing the place
as there were so many others more
competent for the position. In the
visits of the committee to Mr.. Cook
and on the two visits he made to Mount
Holly on the subject his actions were
far removed from what are generally
noticed in one seeking a position.
10 assume the duties of the office to
which he was elected was not an easv
task He took charge of the school in
the middle of the term, coming from
school with one-fourth the enrolment
10 the Mount Holly school, and stepped
INTO the vacancy caused by the with
drawal of Principal who left but
little record of his methods. But Mr..
COOK was undaunted by the condition
which confronted him and entered upon
his work with spirit that dominated
MIN during the entire period he was
engaged here. spirit that elevated
the schools which stand as a living
monument to his ife's energies.
'Faithful unto DEATH y is the best
epltaph that can be placed to his mem
ory First in his mind were the schools
over which he presided. From early
morning until late at night he gave his
tlme for the advancement of the cause
OF education and of the pupils under
MS care. AS a gentleman who lived
near the school for long time has
otten remarked, IT never sat up late
enough to see Professor Cook leave the
school house.. - Because of his tireless
enorts and his conscientious devotion
tne Mount Holly schools to-day occupy
an enviable position in the States sys-
.em ana the words of regret at the
ueath OF this worthy man, coupled with
the commendatory remarks of his value

VI the esteem in which he was held.
