Matawan, Aug. 1a;-Barnes Ar

ner tomato crop Of the county. Last
week he shipped to New York by the
steamer ]. B. Collins, 1b6 crates of
Imperial tomatoes. Because of
their superior quality, Mr.. Arrow
smith received 81 per crate for
them. His shipments have aver
aged nearly 100 crates per day, all
Of which sold for a fancy price,

as the rain came too late, but other
vegetables, such as celery, melons,

matoes, as we'll az field corn. al
ready show improvement. Grass is
~"greening up" and some farmers
are breaking up ground preparatory
to sowing clover, timothy and rye.
Because of increased shipments,
prices have fallen. Tomatoes have
dropped from $500 to 800 a crate,
cucumbers are worth around seven
ty-fve cents, while sweet corr
brings from $3.50 to So per hun
dred ears.
James Q. Hendrickson, of Middle
town, Is considered an authority on
raising muskmelons. The Jenny
Lind is a favortte variety. This
year he has twenty acres planted In
these melons and he expects about
sixty per cent. of an average crop.
He has begun to ship a few melons,
which were sold for $3.50 per half
barrel basket. Last year Mr.. Hen
drickson's melon crop netted him
over $4,000.
George H. Willett, of Port Mon
mouth, has a field of Metropolitan

four acres. Michael Murphy, OF
that place. who Ia engaged In the
produce commission business in New
York, has bought Mr.. Wfllett's en-
tire Drop in the field for So per hun

average 1900 ears per acre.
These large crops are exceptions
this year, Of course, and the great
majority Of the truckers in the bay

discouraged over the crop failure

MANY CARPENTERS ARE
IDLE AT RED BANK

Red Bank, Aug. 1a:-Work for
the carpenters at Red Bank has
slackened and 1t 10 estimated that
at least fifty mechanics were walk
ing the streets with nothing to do.
Until a week or 90 ago all were ap-
parently quite busy but the last few
days the work on hand has been fin
ished and no new Jobs have taken
their place. A number of the car
penters are thinking OF going out OF

the clerk. The attorney stated tn@.
since the transaction had been con
summated legally, and the time and
place of hearing of appeals against
the assessments had been properly
published and few, II any, of the
protestants appeared then, he could
seen no reason why the assessments
should again be considered; also
that II a r%eopening of the matter
was granted at this time 1t would
be impossible to conjecture how
many additional reoonstderations
would be asked for in the future.
The clerk was ordered to send a
copy Of the opinion to Judge j. E.
Foster, counsel for the property
owners who protested.
For some weeks past complaints
have been made as to the manner in
which the roads Of the borough
were being lett by the Monmouth
Contracting Company after laying
lands Gas Company. Last evening
a strenuous "kick" was entered over
the manner in which the bitches
where the house connections were
made were left after the pipes we're
laid. It was ordered that the mat
ter be taken up with the contract
ing company at once.
The resignation Of S. I. Wander
beck as a member Of the borough
Board of Health was read and &C
cepted. The mayor appointed W.T..
Franklin to fill the vacancy.
One OF the most important Issues
now to be taken up by the borough
is the purchase OF new filters for the
borough. This matter was taken up
Como time ago and, since a bond
issue Is necessary, an election was
held at that time and the PROPOSE
ton defeated. The council then
had to meet the emergency in the
best manner possible and has ex-
pended nearly $4,000 In patching up
the present filters. However, the
filters seem to be n mass of patch
es and useless.
The new filters will cost from S.
500 to $4,000, and are now a neces-
sity. Attorney Sweeney was ordered
to draw up the necessary papers for
a bond issue. Atlantic Highlands is
rated by the State Board Of Health
as having the best table water, but
%rnoentlv the breaking Of the filters
has made 1t almost unusable.

For several weeks DR.. Rowland has

and his influence on the early church,
DR.. Rowland said:
"6avonarola was a great statesman,
but he was no politician" declared
the speaker. There Is q great diff
