THE CITY MARSHAL AGAIN.

While the mayor is rather late in
finding out the true calibre Of his
city marshal who is bringing his ad-
ministration into disrepute, it is
gratifying to know that he is begin
ming to get his eyes and ears open
in this respect. The mayor did not
! mince words yesterday in expressing
his ~displeasure of the way the city
marshal has been acting. Every
word spoken by the mayor is justi-
fed. The only surprising thing Is
that the conditions have been toll
Grated so long.
The EVENING NEWS pointed out
the real character of the city mar
shall some time ago. The In
which he was conducting his office
was fully set forth to the public. But
instead of taking steps at that time
to rid the city Of such an official,
| the mayo befriended him by going
on his bail bond and the whole Dem
ocratic machine rallied around him
to afford protection, The EVEN
ING NEWS was bitterly attacked,
reporters set upon and the like, Now
the mayor informs the city marshal
that he cannot hide behind the Dem
| ocratic administration. Has it really
become too much of a load for the
administration to carry, or does the
near approach of the election make
a difference?
Truth will out and right will fl
nally prevail. What the EVENING
NEWS said several months ago is
now coming to the front in a way
that the mayor cannot ignore. He
declares that unless the city mar
shall does his duty and ceases to dis
grace the recorders court, he will
prefer charges against him. The
character of the a will hardly
permit of any change. 1t remains to
be seen, then, whether or not the
mayor will do as he says. The great
est blot in the mayors administra-
ton is the conduct of the city mar
shall, a member of the mayors Of
fetal family. The EVENING NEWS
pointed this out long ago. If the
mayor had taken action against his
city marshal then instead of trying
to discredit the EVENING NEWS, lie
would not be facing the proposition
that now confronts him.

THE COUNTY

AS disappointing as it may be to
learn from the Board of Freehold
ers. that, in their opinion, there is
no way to continue the replanking
of the Amboy bridge, this year, the
fact that the paving Of Sheridan
street is to be delayed until otter
Labor Day, takes some of the edge
off of it. As bad as the bridge is, it
is not as bad as the approach.
Something should be done to remedy
this condition temporarily. The city
is in lasting disgrace as long as it
remains as it is. After Labor Day
the heaviest of the summer traffic
will be over and if Sheridan street
is then paved and If the freeholders
replank the bridge before the sum
mer season opens next year, the
road between the two Amboys will
be in first class shape. The south
approach, from the new road built
by the Pennsylvania railroad to the
bridge, however, will need some at
|tention by that time for it is show
ing much signs of wear now.
The Board of Freeholders are do
ing a good work throughout the
county. 1t must be admitted that
when they took hold everything had
been apparently neglected. The
roads of MiddIesex had got to such
a state that travellers declared they
could always tell when they entered
this county. This is not so today.
Roads everywhere are being repair
ed and plans are being made to keep
them in fit condition all the time.
The worst stretch of road in the
state, perhaps, is between Railway
and Keyport, on the way to the
shore leading directly across the
county through this city. The free
| holders realize this and it is planned
to give this stretch of highway at
tention this season. Whether or
not anything short of rebuilding will
suffice, remains to be seen. AS this
road is used more by nonresident
autoists than by Middlesex residents
there is good reason for the state
to bear the greater part of the ex-
pense of putting this road in shape.
However, it was through neglect of
the former freeholders that 1T was
permitted to get in the condition it
is and the taxpayers will have to
suffer the consequences.
All this recalls the suggestion hat
the improved roads of every county
be divided into sections and a gang
OF men be kept constantly at work
repairing every little hole as Don
as it appears. In this way the roads
will never wear out and in the long
u feEda.Snl be- decidedIXc cheaper for

Grain Movements

Decreased receipts of wheat at leading interior markets, and smaller shipmenCs of flour are the leading features of the commercial movement of breadstuC$ during January of the present year, us reported by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor. For the first time also the monthly ex- ports of wheat, were less in quantity than the exports of corn.
 Grain receipts during January at 15 important markets, ,69, ,403, 731 bushels, show but little variation from the January figures of the preceding year and the January average for the preceding 5-year period. The total in bound movement was made up of 16, ,494, ASA bushels of wheat; 29, ,482, ,533 bushels of corn 16. .487, ,593 bushels of oats; 6,187, ,041 bushels of barley; and 752.0S0 bushels of rye. As compared with corresponding 1910 figures for the more important grains, the receipts of corn, oats. and barley, show larger totals, while those of wheat show sharp decline from the corresponding monthly total.
 The total grain receipts during the five months period since September were 379.746, 192, bushels, compared with 100, ,27O, 433 bushels for the same period last year and an average of over 4O6 million bushels preceding five.year period. The January shipments of flour from thirteen milling centers, 2,755. .804, barrels, likewise show unfayorable turn as compared with the figures of the preceding months, and the correspond ing January, 1910, total.

. CANAAN'S PIONEER DAYS
 Continued from Fourth Page.)

She gave herself up for lost. One of. the Indians spoke to her and told her not to be afraid for they called to drink at the spring and they were going to Stock bridge to a wedding and they were friends.
 But people were very much afraid of Indians all the time. People kept set ting so fast that in the year TAI they had a minister ordained MT. Elisha Webster from Pennington and a great many people came hundred miles to ordination and to see the country. And there was a man falling a tree for timber to build the ministers s house and a limb struck him and crushed him into the earth. He was the second person that died in Canaan. His name was Richard Highsted. He left wife and four children. The third was the wife of Thomas Hewitt With 8 fever.
 "In the year 1744 people began to b. very much terrified about Indians for there was great, deal of mischief done in the towns about by the Indians, so that our people built several forts in the town and had guard of soldiers in the town which secuted the woods every day. But they never see any signs of the enemy but there was & great many alarmed but never any enemy appeared Sometimes the forts would be crowded with people from other towns. In this situation we lived two or three years.
 After this the Iron works was carried off by flood, then rebuilt, and then in the year 1750 they was burned to ashes and 8 great many houses and barns and other buildings, eleven in all, and the same year the town was visited with great sickness among children. Thirty three children and two old people died almost all with the canker, and the next Summer the dysentery carried off q great many old people. Thus the Lord hath visited us. There was a great many bears killed about the town in 1760. There was five killed in one day. In the year 1765 there was five wolves killed in one day.
 "There was a multitude of rattle snakes On hill that they call Snake hill to this day. And Isaac Lawrence had bitch that used so go out and be gone three days at a time, and she would come home all swelled up by being bitten by the snakes. Then shs would dig holes in the earth and bury herself up in the earth till it drawed out all the poison and then she would go out again, and thus she did till her hair all came off, and they killed her !"

 On another occasion he was with g drinking party and instead of liquor he took cigars. for which those who treat ed him paid 50 cents apiece. Harry put all but one in his pocket. He spent two hours smoking that one. After the drinking was over the little comedian went to the cigar counter and said to the man in charge.
