Up to last night the Pennsylvania
Railroad officials in Jersey City said
that they didn't know just exactly what
had caused tho accommodation train
to take to tha crossover switch.
The signals were set for a clear track
Tor both the passenger train and the
detached locomotive. This was veri-
fed by Fireman Mead Of the passenger
train and by the signals themselves,
One Of the crossover rails was broken
and buckled, but this may have been
done by the wheels as they ran over IL
out of their course. Some of the rail-
road men had a theory that something
went wrong with a switch frog and others
detected locomotive wheel from the
main track to the crossover.
The wreckage was spread over TOUR
tracks and traffic was absolutely suspend
ed so far a. the main lines on the trestle
were concerned for an hour and quarter.
Then an eastbound track was cleared
by the removal Of the overturned tender
of No. SITS and the first eastbound train
slowly trailed by the wreck to the terminal.
Incoming trains were shunted In, the
early part OF the blockade to the freight
tracks east OF the cut through the Bergen
Hill and were sent to the freight yards
at Harsimus Cove. Trains on the New
York. Susquehanna and Western Railroad
reached Jersey City via the tracks OF the

halt late in getting in.
Not an outgoing train left the sta ton
until IL so A. NJ. when the first westbound
track was cleared. A second track was
opened at i:45 P. NJ. and q third at o:Is
o'clock last evening. Conditions were
nearly normal at ESQ o'clock last night,
and after that hour the regular time table
schedule was again in operation. The

PLovER is FARMERS ALLY.
Most Useful as Destroyer Of SnaiIs,
Wireworms, Beetles and Other
Insects That Damage Crops.

OF all our birds the plover is abso-
lutely the most useful on the land,
and we have the authority of the
board of agriculture for saying that
"the multiplication of insects injuri-
Gus to crops" is the direct conse-
quence Of the fashion for plovers'
eggs.
The bird destroys snails, wireworms,
beetles and all sorts of noxious in
sects that damage crops. As it feeds
largely at night it destroys many In
sects hat other birds do not touch,
and 1t has also a peculiar virture In
killing a water snail which indirectly
is the cause Of liver rot. a deadly dis
ase in sheep.
Plover has been NOR than usually
numerous this year, says the London
Mail, and no doubt If their eggs were
protected. as in Scotland. they would
multiply yet more and save many
thousands Of pounds that are now
spent on the fattening Of the wire
worm. It is becoming also q more
popular practice to keep plovers as
= garden pet. They do incalculable
good and + Interesting to watch, es-
pecially at this season.

able and compact and must be of
such a shape as will contain the
grain within easy reach of the animal
without loss by splitting. Almost every
one has noticed the painful efforts of
the unfortunate horse which is COM
PEELED to take it's monday meal in this
manner. In order to get the feed the
horse must throw the bag and it's con-
tents into the air and catch a mouthful
as he can. Besides the industry he
is compelled to exercise in the u
suit of his feed, the horse loses about
half the grain by reason of the fact
that it is thrown over the top of the
bag.
The nose bag shown in the accom-
panying cut is designed to overcome
this trouble. The feed supply is con-
tanned in a reservoir which is secured
to the bride and is suspended be-
tween the animals eyes. The feed
flows down of it's own weight into a
saucer-like receptacle which is held
under the animals mouth. The feed
is always in reach and there is no &C.
casion for the painful gymnastics
which + SO commonly seen under
the circumstances.

CRYING NEED, As He SEES IT.
Companion Of irritated Divines Came
to the Front with Order to
the Waiter.

Joaquin Miller is to establish a
colony Of poets in Fruitvale, Cal. Mr..
Miller, discussing this colony recently,
said:
I'VE poets will, of course, argue
and squabble. That will be delight
full. Arguments and squabbles over
Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tenny-
son, and Keats are pleasant and SEN
sible things, you know. They are
not like political or religious argu-
ments, which in their bitter rancor al
ways make me think of three Maine
divines.
while three Maine divines were
supping together, two Of them be-
gan to argue about the comparative
religious merit OF the royal houses
of Stuart and Orange. The argument
became heated. The divines grew ex-
cited and angry.
William III. was a great rascal
roared the first, as he struck the table
with his fist. "A great rascal, and
spit upon his memc1y!'
"The second divine turning very
red, shouted:
"tNo, it's James II. that was the
rascal. l spit upon his memory
A this point the third divine rang
the bell, and said gently to the waiter:
"'Spittoons for two, please"

HORSE is NEGLECTED
Undeveloped Resources Of the
South and Southwest.
In Better Demand and Brings Higher
Prices Than Ever Before, Notwith-
standing the Advent Of Steam
and Electricity.

So much has been said and written
about undeveloped and in
dustries of the south and southwest
Of recent years thai the following in
formation relative to the horse, q
largely neglected field of development
seems timely, in view of the fact that
horse power" has. received little, il
any, attention at the hands of the de-
velopment bureau.
There are more horses in the United
States to-day than there ever were be-
fore: they are worth more money than
they ever were before; they are in
crasing in numbers and in value, not
withstanding the electric street cars,
the motor wagons and ~omnibuses. the
bicycle, the automobiles and the adop-
ton of steam and electricity as a
motor power in farming and in every
business and trade that requires loco
notion.
The number of horses In the United
and they were worth a total of $780,
$780, or an average of $93.31 each.
During the succeeding year, ended
January 1, 1909, the number of horses
had increased to 2~O,640,00O; their value
had advanced more than 800, OOO, 900
to the sum of $1,947, 052, 900, and the
average price was 1854, or 1928
more than the previous year
The average price of horses through
out the United States for the ten years
previous to 1908 was $6O.25 per head,
which shows that they are worth an
average of $35.40 more, notwithstand.
ing the circumstances which senators
and others have SO mournfully de.
plored.
Automobiles came into general use
more rapidly during the year 1908
than at any previous period, but not
withstanding that fact the number and
the value of our horses increased more
rapidly during that period than ever
before. During the calendar year OF
1907 the horses increased 24O, 500 in
number and $40, 952, 900 in value. Dur.
ing the calendar year 1908 they in
creased GAS, 900 in number and $780,
$4,000 In value.
The same can be said of mules,
which should also be taken into con.
s~ideration, because thousands of mules
have lost their job because of the in.
PRODUCTION of electricity as a motive
power. There are now in this country
4,053 900 mules, which are valued at
$437, OS2, 900, OF an average of $1O7.84
per head; that is about $12.25 more
per mule than horses are worth. This
is ar increase of 1874, 900 mules during
the year 1908, $2O,143,O 900 in value and
eight cents per head.
The increase in 1907 was So, ZOO
mules, but in 1906 there was a de.
crease in the total value of $11, 125, 900
or an average falling of of $40 per
head.

Demand for Cotton Mules.

Mule markets in the south report
considerable demand and steady sales
of cotton mules, that is, mules to be
used in getting out of the cotton
crop. Three types of mules are used
in this work. The small mule for
the bottom country, and the larger
mule for the hilly country, and the
average mule for the prairie country,
In 1909 all mules are good sellers,
some better than others. More farm.
ers are raising mules than a few
years ago.
