Readings New Bridge.

The Reading will bridge the Della

replace the present wrought iron
structure, which carries the tracks Of
the Bound Brook Railroad across the
Delaware at that point. A substan-
tial concrete arch bridge, to cost APP
proximately $500. 900, will be built.
The bridge, which will be double
track. will he 1856 feet long and con-
sists OF ID arches, 12 of which will be
80 feet inches across and to SO feet
0 inches. The height from the water
level to the crown of the arches will
be 65 feet. The new bridge will be
located 35 feet south aud directly par
allel with the present bridge. When
completed the present wrought iron
deck truss structure, which was open
ed in 1867. will be removed.
In building the new bridge provis-
ion will be made for its future widen

two more tracks.

Business League.

The regular monthly meeting of the
executive committee of Lambertville
Business League was held at the Coun-
Gil Room on Tuesday evening, April
nth.
After much discussion it was decided
that on account of delay and difficulty
in agreeing upon terms and conditions
that it would probably be unwise to
make further effort to secure the plant
for manufacture OF toilet articles here
which has recently been under consid-
Grafton.
Numerous communications were re-
ceived and placed on file regarding
manufacturing and other propositions
under correspondence of the secretary.
The annual meeting OF the League
will be held Monday evening, May 2ad
for the purpose of electing new board
of officers tor the ensuing year. A full
report will be presented, covering the
work for the past year; and it is hoped
there will be full attendance.
At the annual meeting it is expected
to have an address delivered on the
subject of government by commission.
This popular form of government is re-
celving much attention from trade bod
les throughout the state and country.
The Business League has participated
in one or more conventions for the
consideration OF the subject; and the
proposed address is for the purpose OF
information on the subject, so that peo-
pie may be prepared when required to
express an opinion as to the desirable
ity of such form of government,

During the Revolutionary War

Buckingham, the person asked the
question will not know whether the
questioner wants to go to the town

should never have been changed.
"Centreville" was very appropriate
it being the intersection Of three or
-four roads. A majority of the people
who are acquainted with the village
still cling to the old name, and will

The Trent. +"

The week following Easter is al.
ways an important one in the theatri-
cal year because it brings back to the
atrical amusements class of people
whose Lenten obser yations have for
the past six weeks kept them away
from entertainments of all kinds. In
order to welcome them back again the
management of the Trent Theatre has
provided for next week an unusually
entertaining bill, one that is made up
OF comedy and musical attractions
that have long been prominent in the
variety world.
Heading the list is The Four Song
Writers, a we'll known organization
that appeared here at the beginning of
the present season. The reason tor
bringing them back again was based
largely by the number of people who
failed to see them on the occasion of
their first appearance here-thst week
being warm and the theatres doing
very little business. These boys
write all their own songs aud put
them over in a style that is uniquely
original.
Another big offering is n one.act
comedy story, entitled Books"
which deals with every day life and
incidents that one sees around many
OF our large colleges. The characters
represent well known college types.
The comedy situations, which are
screamingly funny, arise from the
mis.applyiDg of sum OF money ty
ope of the college boys sent to him by
his father to pay for a set of books
Rural comedy when it is good, is
always entertaining and in the Mo
Greevys is represented one OF the
most unique offerings of this kind in
present day vaudeville. Billy and
Marie Hart will make their first APP
pearance here in one. act play called
'"rhe Circus Girl" while Zazelle e.
Vernon Trio will entertain with an
original pantominic sketch. The
Fordyce Trio, singers, dancers and
musicians, and the Human Trio, COM
edy bicyclists, complete this unusual
ly big bill.

Crude Oil to Kill Rats.

A cheap remedy for the rat nnis-
ance: II crude petroleum is placed in
the rats run, the rats will leave the
vicinity. II they are caught in their
runs so that they are compelled to
breathe the fumes of the oil for an
hour or more, they will be poisoned.
Meat that contains petroleum can be
used as bait to catch the offensive
rodents.
Experiments proved that rats which
ate meat treated with crude oil died
in fifteen minutes The gases pro-
duced by the evaporation of crude oil
are very inHammable, when present
in large quantities, but the amount
necessary to use about the barn or
other outbuildings would not endan-
ger the property.
