Pawpaw Abundant There - Many
Consider 1t a Delicacy.
George Remsburg, the Atchison
county historian, says the Kansas City
Journal, has been hunting up some
thing about the pawpaw. He says:
I'm the old chronicles of the early
explorers and travellers through this
section of the country find much
mention of the pawpaw, which seems
to have been as abundant in this re-
gion a century or more ago as at the
present time. In these early accounts
the estimates Of the edibleness of the
pawpaw seem to be about equally d.
.vided. One pronounced 1t delicious.
| while another would lead you to be-
lieve that 1t was really deleterious.
However, believe the following from
Charles Augustus Murray, in an ac-
count of his western travels in 1884.
1885 and 1886, is the strongest en-
comium ever bestowed upon the Kan
sas and Missouri banana
while passing this locality on
steamer he landed and secured some
ripe pawpaws, the first he had seen.
and which he pronounced the most de-
licious fruit In the world. Tt resem-
bles the banana of the West Indies

luscious. When opened the interior Is

probably owes its origin to the fact
that hogs. which roam the woods and

TROLLEY HIT CLAY TRAIN
AT SAYREvlLLE FACTORY

Sayreville, Nov. 29-In a collision
between one of the Public Service
trolleys and a clay train used in the
yards of the Sayre C Fisher plant at
~Sayreyille, yesterday, the front plat
form of the trolley was badly smash
ed and Motorman Kerwin had a mar
row escape from serious injury.
The trolley, leaving New Bruins
wick at 9:5b for South Amboy, was
In charge of Conductor Jack Saults.
The trolley tracks and the narrow
gauge railway, extending around the
clay pits and plant Of the Sayre-
Fisher Company, tntersect the road,
and owing to the buildings which
line the road 1t was impossible for
those In charge of the train and troll
ley to see each other In time to avoid
the accident. The train of fire clay
ears was being pushed across the
track, the foremost car striking the
trolley. The clay car was not dam
aged, and no injury was sustained by
any OF those on either conveyance.
There were only three passengers in
the trolley at the time.
The accident knocked the running
schedule to South Amboy out for
awhile, but extra cars were put or
between New Brunswick and South
