Takes Witch. Hazel and Fly
Poison After Quarrel Over
Trivial Incident.

Meek of mien and with tears flowing,
the pretty young wife of James Fitz-
gerald, of 500 South Thirteenth street.
refused to press the charge of disor-
derby conduct against her husband In
the Fourth Precinct Court today.
She had decided to forgive James
and forget the slap he is said to have
administered upon his return home yes
terday.
Yesterday his wife did not walk to
the corner with him, according to the
story told in police court, and see him
on his car. He returned HON about
8 a. m.
There was an argument. which ended
with the bride vending her way to her
parents home and a despairing hus-
band trying to reach the far unknown
by way of a pousse cafe of witch hazel
and a fly poison mixture.
Fitzgerald in court today looked none
the worse for wear.

.SAyS LACK. TRAINS

j. Wheeler Dow Makes Bitter
Attack on Railroad
Management.

In a statement just issued by j.
Wheeler Dow, who a been carrying
on the crusade to compel the Lacka-
wanna Railroad to reopen the Wyo-
ming station, near Millburn, he makes
the statement hat a timetable issued
by the company in 1862 shows that the
running time from Hoboken to sub
urban stations was better than it is at
the present time.
1T is not generally known" he al
leges, that the LackaWanna, notWith-
standing its specious advertisements, is
the worst managed railroad running
out of New York city. In forty-fiVe
years 1t has not reduced it's running
time, but increased it.
For instance, by comparing a time
table of 1862 with one of the latest time
tables. it will be seen that it now re-
quires severaI minutes more to reach
suburban stations on the Morris and
Essex division than it did in 1862. while,
strange to say, it's Sunday service
makes better time, and is less i%nconve-
nient than it's weekday service.
Express trains are sent out of Ho-
boken half filled because the patronage

South Orange. being closed, as was
Wyoming. inc he is seeking support in
the Oranges.
The State Railroad Commissioners re-
Gently directed the company to reopen
the Wyoming station, but the company
has not yet complied with the direction,
and the commissioners rave no inner
ent power to compel the company to
do it. Attorney-General Robert II.
McCarter has been asked to take a
hand in the contest.
In another circular Mr.. Dow hotly
attacks the Truesdale management.

ficulty by the use Of a team. A chain
should be fastened about the stump.
allowing good length to the chain
The chain should be stout one, espe-
cially If large posts which are firmly
set are to be taken out When stumps
or posts are to be removed, spring is
the best time to do the work as the
ground is then moist and the post
comes out more easily. Sometimes
when boundaries are to be moved,
fields changed In outline or new fences
erected Il great many posts must be
removed In very short time, and un-
less some mechanical device were
adopted for fastening the work 1t
would take quite long time.
OF the many post pullers now in use
perhaps the one here shown is the most
seryiceabe. 1t should be made of an
old buggy axle or any other old piece
of iron of about that size and used as
shown. With this tool one man will
pull more posts in Il day than with any
and two men with two of the tools can
easily remove the largest telephone or
telegraph poles.
Posts may be driven with speed and
economy on many farms if well sharp
ened and the right method is followed.
A real post driver is one of the most
easily made things and one of the most
useful that a farmer can get up. Up
rights are bolted across to sled, or
rough plank sled may be made.
The standards may be twelve or tif-
teen feet high To them is bolted
crossbar which supports the hoist for
the weight, For this block of iron or
lead weighing not less than twenty-five
pounds must be obtained, and it must
have a staple or ring in it so it may be
lifted. The post is placed where 1t is
to be driven and the weight lifted and
allowed to fall on it. A little practice
will enable one to drive posts in soil
that seems too hard. The rig is useful
also in putting down driven wells
To drive a well an inch and a quarter
pipe is preferred. The lengths should
not be over six feet. The first pipe to
be driven must have point of iron or
steel. Any blacksmith who is an expert
at welding can readily make a point
solid in the end of the pipe and then
bore numerous quarter inch holes In 1t
for the first eighteen inches of its
length above the point. Before driving
a coupling must be screwed down tight
and fast on the thread that is to con-
meet it to its mate so the thread may
not be injured; also on top of this
coupling must always rest block of
