Montclair. N. 1.-The state board Of
public utility commissioners has direct
ed the Public Service Railway COM
pany to abandon the skip stop method
Of operating cars in this and other
towns on the Bloomfield avenue lines.
The skip, stop plan has been in effect
since April 10, when it was adopted at
the request Of Verona and other west
ern Essex municipalities and with the
assent Of the governing bodies Of the
municipalities through which the line
operates. =
:. In its decision the board expressed
disappointment that in its endeavor to
solve the vexatious question there was
an utter lack of cooperation from the
various municipalities affected. The
board points out that it Is obvious that
frequent stops slow up the operation
Of cars, and where any number of
stops can be eliminated the inevitable
result is that the cars can cover their
routes more quickly.

the nephew of the three sons, and
Philip de Valois. who was their cousin.

Surprises In War.

In warfare the elements Of surprise
counts for very great deal.
Troy would not have been captured
by the Greeks had it not been for the
surprise sprung upon the Trojans by
the gigantic wooden horse in which
Greek soldiers concealed themselves,
stealing out in the nighttime to open
the gates of the city to the Greek army.
Pyrrbus would never have gained his
victory over the Romans had he not
brought his elephants into the fed.
These gigantic creatures as they plow-
ed their way through the Roman ranks
struck terror into the hearts of the SOL
diers who had never before engaged in
q battle in which elephants took part.
Hannibal, the great Cartha gilman gen.
eral, would never have captured one
of the chief Alpine passes had he not
hit on the happy idea Of fastening
torches to the horns Of 1000 oxen,
lighting the torches when it got dark
and driving the beasts toward the Ro-
man camp. Seeing the moving lights,
the company guarding the pass thought
their comrades were in danger and
fastened to their rescue, thug leaving

men to get throu gh.-Pearson's.

an enormous serpent, larger than that
of a man, slightly elongated, sur

undulating, making at least ten dis

We watched this strange creature for
more than a minute swimming at a
speed Of about two knots. I have
seen many dolphins and whales, and

in the North sea between fourteen Ger

wounded Germans have been landed
here by a Dutch trawler which took
them on the badly damaged torpedo

that German torpedo boats last night
attempted to leave Zeebrugge to avoid
the ice which was very thick. They
were Immediately attacked by large
British squadron. The action opened
at short range and early in the fight
the bridge of the German destroyer
V-69 was swept away by direct hit,
the commander and two other officers
being killed.
The veg fired one torpedo and was
then hit by another British shell,
which knocked the funnel fiat on the
deck. Still another shell put hole
in the forepart of the vessel. Her
guns appear not to have been dam

about sixty. 1t would appear from
the statements of the men that seven
other German vessels were sunk The
V-69 belonged to the home fleet
A later Reuter- dispatch from Ymui-

believed, but that the death of Captain

GRAND JURY !.

After Session of But One Day Grand

SMITH VS. WRIGHT & KINNEY
Case Growing Out Of Collapse Of
Building a Year Ago Nov De-

The district court convene on Mon

siding. The calendar was called and
the cases to be tried during the term
were first given attention and an as
signment made whi2.I apparently Will
consume the entire term in order to
dispose of it. The court intimated
that he might be able to return here
the third week of the Ida county term
to try the equity business.
The first case assigned for trial was
that of Caroline Smith VS. Wright and
Kinney. The case is now in progress,
the jury having been selected yester-
day afternoon and today the statement
of counsel to the jury and the intro
duction of evidence is going on. The
chances are the case will take several
days to conclude It. "A I. III
Following that is the case Of Abra-
ham Walker VS. the Chicago, Milwau-
kee railroad. The case is to recover
damages on account of an alleged
overflow of the land near Manila,
Iowa. This case has been on the
docket for some time and it is to be
hoped that it will be disposed of at
this term of court.
The case of Hennings VS. Erne is
another case that is expected to be
tried in the near future and will prob
ably occupy several days, as there Is
a large number of witnesses to be
used in the case.
The indications are that a large
number of cases for trial will be dis
posed of at the coming term of court
and that hereafter cases can be tried
shortly after they are started.
The grand jury was in session but
one day and adjourned without return
ing an indictment. This speaks we'll
for the county and indicates healthy
condition morally. Crawford county
has always maintained fine reputa-
ton for good behavior of its people
and we do not believe another county
in the state can produce a better rec
ord so far as the criminal laws are con-
cerned. The expenses of Crawford
county growing out Of criminal prose-
cutions are perhaps as light as any
county in the state. a ~.
