MUCH TROUBLE.

The sewer men are still finding
troubles enough. At the corner OF
Commerce and Pearl streets they
came upon the brick work of the big
trap at the confluence of the old sew
ers, laid before the streets were paved
some years ago
The trench there is pretty deep and
further up Pearl street it will go still
deeper, in some places it must go as
deep as IA feet.

mic. But her ardent admirer did not
visit her at her home until last De-
cember, when the girl still lacked a
month of being 16 years old.
In describing Blodgett, Mrs. Pine
said: "The man appeared to be a gem
tleman in every sense. l have never
seen more highly polished and better
educated young man. He seemed to
be all that one could desire in the way
OF an associate for ones daughter.
But how we have been deceived! To
what an extent he has gone in running
my poor little girls happiness!"
Blodgett became known in Bridge
ton because of his frequent visits to
the girl. He is handsome, tall and
with wavy hair, and he put a certain
dash in his courtship which won the
favor of the pretty schoolgirl, used to
the quiet days of her fathers house
hold in the little New Jersey town.
But with the father, who has been a
prominent resident for more than
twenty years, the ardent suitor was
not SO successful. Her tender age
was point of objection to the pro-
posed marriage when Blodgett asked
for the girls hand His persistency
won, however, and June "a the cere-
amony took place.
u Two weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. Blod-
gett took apartments with the family
of Frank Taylor, at Ill Woodside ave-
nue,5 Narberth. 1t was during the
weeks stayshere that the girl brides
confidence was shaken. The husband
was very kind to her for several days.
but after that, she says, he treated
her with cruelty. He appeared to be
lnsanely jealous of her and command
ed her to keep to her room when he
was not there. He even forbade her
to go walking with Mr.. Taylor's two
daughtersa Although his wife was
proficient atNthe piano and extremely
fond OF music, Me forbade her to touch
the piano, because there was man in
the house interested in music.
Finally there was quarrel and the
husband of two months took her hat
pine, the girl says, and threatened to
stab himself in the neck. Then he
marked the large veins of his neck
and said he intended to cut where he
had marked by means of his safety
razor blade. His threats were not
carried out, but the girl was SO terri
fed that she wrote her parents.
At the end of a week her mother
went to Narberth to take her home.
Blodgett followed the next day and
proposed that they go to live in a
perfectly dear little place" which he
had in a good neighborhood in Ger
mantown. But if the girl was willing
to accompany him, her parents would
not allow her to do so. 1t was during
this stormy interview with Mrs. Pine
that Blodgett admitted his previous
marriage.
Are you ashamed of my daughter
as your wife?' questioned Mrs. Pine.
why don't you write to your family
and tell them that you are married to
Ruth? Under the persistent fire
Blodgett wilted for the first time. He
thought to explain that he had not
written by saying that he had already
had one unfortunate experience in
matrimony.
According to his statements then,
ne had been married in Camden on
october 2s, 1907, TO a Miss Leila Nor

CENSUS ENUMERATORS.
Applications for Jobs Must Be Filed

C.. A. Barnes OF Mexico, super-
visor of the census for the 9th Dis
trict, has extended the time for
fling applications for positions
as enumerators until the 31st of
this month, SO that all applica-
tions received by him no. later

sidered. Every applicant should

which they can be avoided 10 the

1t has to do with tariffs. trusts and
monopolies, but in Its narrower
and more easily discussed and de-
termined features it has to do with
the daily life and personal con-
duct of each individual. The man
who eaid he could save more mon

when they were low, because
when he did not eat a pound OF

THROUGH MONTGOMERY CITY.
H. G. Welcb, of the Surveying Grew,
Here in the Interest Of the Road
What He Says

H. g. WEIGH, OF the right OF way
department OF the st. Louis and
Kansas City Electric Railway Co.,
was in Montgomery City Tuesday
and Wednesday in the interest of
the final survey for the proposed
electric road to be built between
Kansas City and st. Louis.
The starting point for the road
will be Columbia, and a survey
from Kansas City to Columbia has
already been completed and the
right of way secured. Work Is to
begin in the east end, from Column
bia to st. Louis, according to Mr..
Welch, in a few days, and 1t is
stated that Montgomery viii prob
ably be asked for a charter soon,
as the route goes through this city.
The Company has purchased the
rich coal fields at Harrisburg, in
Boone county, and will build their
first tracks from Columbia to that
place. Twenty-Five miles OF the
rails have already been bought.
Mr.. Welch said that the Com
pany proposed to build double
track with heavy rails and cars,
and expected to make the run from
Kansas City to st. Louis in five
hours. Trains of five and six cars
are to be run, affording the best
OF accommodation to the trav cling
public and the shippers of coun-
try produce. The cars are to be
81 feet long, the same width as the
steam cars, and the quick service
between Kansas City and st. Louis
is expected to do away with the
Pullman and dining cars. The road
will follow a line that will put the
two cities within $50 miles of each
other.
Mr.. WEIGH gives it as his positive
assurance that the road will be
built, the estimated cost to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000, 900.

OHIO MAN IS THE ONLY HOPE
Fight in Ranks Of Republican Party
Means Nothing, He Says.

New Orleans, January 19.-"The
Democratic party Is in deplora-
BILE condition. The present fight
in the ranks of the Republican
party will not diminish its
strength. If Harmon carries Ohio
next fall, he will be the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee in
1912"
These were some of the state
ments made here today by Clark
Howell, editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, and the oldest member
in point of service of the Demo
cratic National Committee"
"The internal fuss in the ranks
of the Republicans" said MIR.
Howell, "really amounts to moth
ing SO far as the fighting strength
of the Republican party is con-
cerned. The fight seems to be a
hard one, but such rows have been
going on for forty years and when
the time comes for election, the
Republicans present a uniform
front.
"The Democratic party's organ
ization is shattered. Generalship,
of the sort we haven't had for six
teen years, will be required to put
it in form.

Montgomery County Victorious.

Montgomery County Victorious.
In the Circuit Court this
week Judge Barnett rendered a
decision in favor of the county in
two cases. One was against the
Wabash for $6oI.8I foor back
taxes, and the other against the
c. B. Q. r. r. for S36o.48 also
for back taxes. These two roads
refused to pay the collector all
Of their taxes for the year 1908,
claiming that under the consti-
tuition of Missouri, the County
Court had no right to levy tax
greater than 40 cents.
The county court having levied
a tax of so cents, so these roads
refused to pay ten per cent Of
their taxes. J. w. Nebel and E..
P. Rosenberger brought these
suits for the county at the May
tebt 1909. and they were
stubbornly fought by the Rail-
roads The roads must all pay
the penalties which net the
county over $4,000.

John r. Walsh in Prison.

Perhaps, because of the COM
ment that would result therefrom,
John r. Walsh, the Chicago bank
er, who was taken to the Leaven-
worth Federal prison, to serve
Ave years, for violation of the
n national banking laws, this week,
should not be pardoned by the
President. But, the silly comment
aside, there are many reasons why
executive clemency should be
shown him. He is seventy years
old. just at the end of long and
q useful life. His health is not
good. No one lost a dollar, we
understand, by his technical vio-
lation of the banking laws. He is
in no sense low, vicious, or bad. /.
He has committed no crime in the
usual sense of the term. He for
many years was one of the FORE
most men of Chicago and of the
United States in promoting big
enterprises for tho advancement OF
the great city in which ne resided
and for the country. A lifetime
of good honest work for the up
building OF our great country
should be some offset for false
step in his .old age from which no
harm came TO any man. John r,
Walsh has been great man. A
man of action and one who has
accomplished results. We canno,
help but sympathize with him In
the great humiliation that he is
undergoing, and hope that before
long the president will find it in
good taste to temper justice with
mercy In the shape OF pardon.
