Thieves at Work.

A bold thief or thieves entered the
Schempf Drug Co. store some time Sun
day night or early Monday morning,
getting away with box of razors val
ued at $40. Entrance was effected by
removing screen from the transOm
over the front door entrance. 1t is the
belief that the robbers were after a
valuable display Of fountain pens which
a lady agent had had on exhibition in
the store for several days and which
were taken away last Friday. The cash
register had been tried but was not
opened and evidently the safe had not
been tempered with. The heavy fog of
of early Monday morning made it more
easy for the intruders to operate.

CAMDEN, Jan. 13.-The New York

HAS POWER
To FORGE PLACING
SAFETY DEVICES
The Contention of Erie Railroad
0verruled by Public Util-
ity Commissioners.
Especial to the Newark start

TRENTON, Ian. 13.-In answer to a
contention mad by the Erie railroad,
that the Board of Public Utility Com
missioners is without power to order
the installation of further safety app
planes at grade-crossings. which are
at present partially protected, the COM
m~issioners have an opln-
ion holding that the board does possess
such power, and that 1t was distinctly
granted by the laws under which it
operates.
The contention of the Erie was made
in pending proceedings against the
company, brought by the township of
North Bergen, to compel the railroad
to provide adequate protection at the
Paterson avenue embarrassing in that
municipality, at the point where the
t~horoughfare is intersected by the
tracks of the New Jersey and New
York railroad, a subsidiary of the Erie.
Recommendation ms to Crossings.
The board has sent to all railroad
companies operating in this State two
recommendations relative to grade
crossings. One calls attention TO the
fact that several lines of railway in
some instances provide protection at
grade-crossings during the summer sea
son, but withdraw it at other seasons
of the year. 1t is further noted that
warning signs, giving notice of such
protection are posted at the CROSSINGS.
and that these signs are permitted to
remain after the protection Is with
drawn.
Declaring that these signs are mis-
leading, produce confusion and are a
source of danger, the board recon-
mends that all such signs be covered
or removed during the period that the
protection, of which they give notiscs.
Is not afforded.
The other recommendation is that
gates operated during part OF the year
only be dismantled as soon as practic-
able after the season during which
they are operated closes.

CITY IS PREPARED
TO CARRY ITS CASE
into THE COURTS
Municipality Ready to Make
Contest for Opening of
Mechanic Street.

The fight between the city and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company about
opening Mechanic street and building
the new station at Market street is
now in shape to be taken to the courts
if found necessary to do so.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd submitted q
detailed report to the Board of Works
yesterday in which he goes into the
history of The original opening of Me-
chanic street. and shows that the con-
tention of the board that the railroad
is trespassing on city property is we'll
founded. He calls attention to a SINH
lar case fought in the Indiana court
in which the city came out victor, and
says that in view of hat fact the
titude In the matter.
Directed to Answer Correspondence.
Following the reading of the report
Mir. Sherrerd was given full charge of
the correspondence between the city
and the company, n asked to reply
to the letter sen by General Superin-
tendent Shepard last week in which
he said that the company had been do
ing it's best to give good service. ard
since the city refuses to give he com"
Iany permission to build the new sta
lion it Will have to De satisfied with
whatever improvements the company
can make independent of h city.
The difference between the city and
the railroad is due to the doubt as to
the ownership of twenty-seven feet in
New Jersey Railroad n now oc-
cupied by the company. The city in
sists that before the station a be
built Mechanic street must be opened
at the company's expense, and IL the
courts decide the company is the right
full owner then the city will refund the
money spent by the railroad in open
ing the street. The railroad objects to
this. and asks that it be permitted to
build the station first and decide the
ownership later. AT the meeting of
the board last week a resolution of
intention to begin ejectment proceed
inas against the railroad was passed.

EGGS ARE EGGS, HENS
ARE HENS, NOT BIRDS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 13.-rggs
are eggs also, a hen is not a bird. So
saws the United States Court of Gus
toms Appeals, in a decision which
seems to settle a question which has
muddled the customs, perplexed the ex-
l,erts, and finally called in the zoolo-
gists.
Eggs coming from China usually are
broken out of the shells, packed in tin
cans and frozen. Customs officials con-
tended thcy entered this country in
competition with home-laid eggs, and
assessed q duty of five cents q dozen.
The importer objected, claiming they.
should be free of duty under h a sec
ton of the tariff which puts the eggs
of birds on the free list.
The full bench of Ave justices agreed
that the importers claim that q hen is
o. bird lacked merit, and that an egg
is an egg in the shell or out of it.
Recently the court held that a yam
not e sweet potato.

Then he went up on the bridge for
Captain Agassiz and informed him that
he would have to administer chloro-
form. He instructed the skipper in the
method of giving the anesthetic and
soon had his patient under its influ-
enee. Just as he was about to cut into
Berasch's abdomen he found that his
catgut had become mislaid. He could
not tie the stub of the appendix with
out catgut and was in despair, when
the skipper remarked that he had some
good strings on his violin.
The instrument was brought to the
operating room and the E string was
removed and sterilized. Within half an
hour the operation was over and the
patient was conscious and resting com

STANHOPE STILL
SEEKS WATER SUPPLY.
Commission Reports Failure
After Sinking Eight Wells.

STANHOPE, Jan. 13.-Tho water
commission of the borough of stan
hope, consisting of H. K. Salmon. chair
man; H.. A. Timbrell, secretary, and p.
L. Best, after spending three months
and sinking eight wells. at a cost OF
about sl.400. in searching for a water
supply for the town. reports failure and
requests it's discharge.
The first we'll was drilled on the
James Smith property, near Lake MVs-
conetcong, n at a depth of ffty-five
feet pumped eighty-nve gallons a min
ute for ten hours. At a subsequent
test, after pumping steadily for twenty
six hours, the flow was reduced to nifty
gallons a minute, which is considered
to be the available supply from the
well. This would give 10000 gallons
every t~wenty-four hours, or about three
times the present average consumption
of water in the borough, and about
30 per cent. more than the available
supply of the Netcong water plant, but
It was not considered sufficient as a
basis for a permanent plant, the engin-
eer recommending hat q supply OF
at least 100 gallons a minute be pro-
cured.
There Is a general feeling among the
people of the town that a practical
plant adequate for the needs of the
borough for at last twenty years, could
be established in connection with the
first we'll drilled. which is near the site
selected for a reservoir.

had a taste of Uncle Sans customs
red-tape before he left the steamshlp
pier. He had properly declared a gown
that Mrs. George j.. Gould had re-
quested him to get for her on the ether
side, and was told that the duty IN II
was $500. He rendered a cheek for
that amount and was surprised TO
find that the rule of Uncle Sam is cash
only. All the cash he had with him
was 5000.
He knew nobody on the pier, and
there was nobody of the Gould family
to meet him. After waiting about an
hour he decided that he would leave
the gown in the hands Of the customs
men until his afternoon and then send
down the cash.
