V nx0n. VOL. XVI. No. lor.. POET JERVIS, ORANGE COUNTY, N. Y., TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1888. PRICE THREE CENTS lET IT BE FINISHED. W O R K ST O P P E D OK T H E N E W B R I D G E O V E R T H E N E V E R S I N K . After Expending Over S4.000, tlie Inooni- pleted Bridge is Reft Standing in a Vseless Condition—Can l>e BinisRed for but SI,000-Why not go Ahead? Work has been at a stand-still on the new bridge over the Neversink at the re sidence of Peter D. Swartwout near Hu guenot, since last fall. As far as com pleted, the \work is very satisfactory, and it ought to be pushed forward now to the finish. Work was begun last October, the Gro ton Bridge Company having a contract for the span of the iron to cross the river. An abutment on the north side of the river was constructed. On the south side there is a solid rock, and on this the end of the bridge rests, thus doing away with the necessity for building a pier and giving a much better foundation, also. The iron span is 150 feet long, and it weighs 45 tons. When the iron arrived the workmen were days in draTsung it and putting it up. The total cost thus far has been $4,500. Before the structure can be made ser viceable an approach on the north side must be constructed. This would necessitate building a wooden trestle, stone pier, or a span o f iron, to cover a slough or low part of the river which circles around at that point It is thought that an iron span would be not only the cheapest but the most advantageous, since the Groton com pany offers to put one up for $1,000, 70 feet long. A stone structure with piers wou’d dam the water whenever the river was high, thus causing still more damage by overflows as well as resulting in the ultimate washing away o f the stone work. The Highway Commissioners of the town are Benjamin Cuddeback, W. A. Drake, and John R. Patterson. These officials ought to see to it that this bridge is finished just as speedily as possible, and the offer of the Groton company certamly seems the best that could be expected. This bridge would accommodate a large number of people in that part o f the town and the Commissioners should see to it that the work goes right ahead. E X T E N S IO N O P T H E t . & H . B .

It has been known for several years that the plans of the managers of the Lehigh and Hudson River Riilway contemplated its extension from Grey court to a connec tion With the Ontario and v^’estern at or near Campbell Hall, but the progress ot work on the Poughkeepsie bridge, and the certainty of its completion at an early day have modified the plans of the Lehigh and Hudson officials and they have de cided to at once begin the work of extend ing their road to Montgomery, where it will connect with the road now being built westward from the Poughkeepsie bridge. This connection will be of great ad vantage to the Lehigh and Hudson, for it will make it part of the system connecting the coal regions of Pennsylvania with the manufacturing centers r f New England, and will be ceriam to largely increase the busmess of the road. The Goshen correspondent informs the Middletown Argun that on Thursday next. President Burt of the Lehigh and Hudson, the engineer of the Poughkeep sie Bridge Railway Company, and other prominent railroad officials will visit Montgomery and select the site for the union depot of the two reads.

Rear brakeman Andrew Trouth of con ductor Orce’s Delaware division gang, was killed by the cars near Lackawaxen, at about 7.05 last evening. It is supposed he fell from the train. He went out on train 567 and when the latter arrived at Lackawaxen, Trotuh was missing. His body was found by train 85, and taken to Lackawaxen. It was badly mutilated, and both legs and arms were crushed. The brakeman was aged about 21 years. He was a German, and with no known relatives in this country. He came on the Erie road last fall from Honesdale, and boarded at Decker’s Hotel in this place. The body was buried at Lackawaxen this morning, without the formality of an inquest. Mr. Chas. E.

Mr. Masterson says he has put up a great many sky-lights, but this one suits him the best of any that h e has ever put up. He has one o f the best locations in town, and Ms rooms will he well adapted to the business and unusually pleasant. The reception room at the top o f the stairs will be es pecially attractive, and entirely distinct from the other rooms. Back of this to the left is the large, airy skylight, and to the right are two ante-rooms. The rooms are finished with Fay’s Build ing Manilla paper, which is coming veiy much into use instead of plaster. It has the advantage of being clean, cheap, and is said by many to be in many respects preferable to the old plaster wall. Mr. Lorenzo Wood, the agent for the goods in tMs town, is doing the work. Mr. Mastersou’s ability as an artist is too well known in this town to need com ment here. Many photographers have come and gone during his time among us, and yet he pursues the “ even tenor of his way,” His new and convenient quarters will no doubt attract many new patrons as well as his scores o f old ones. W H A T A R E T H E S E IM P U R IT IE S ? The report of the Ohio State Dairy and Food Commission on baking powers shows a large amount of residum or im purities to exist in many of these articles. The figures given by the Commission are as follows : Impurities NaTne. or Residuum. Gleveland’a ........................................... ,.10.18 pr.ct. Zipp’s Crystal ........................................... 11.99 “ Sterling......................................................18.63 “ Dr. Price’s .................................................18.66 “ Forest City ................................................ 24.04 “ ■■ e r S ta r ..................................................31.88 “ Land’a ................................................32.52 “ Horsford’s ..................................................36.49 “ The question naturally arises in the minds of thoughtful consumer. Of what does this impurity or residum consist? In the case o f the first named powder threre has b een recently given the result of an analysis made by ProLO.F, Chan dler, of Columbia College, late member of the New York State Board o f Health, which partially supplies the missing in formation, and as the manufacturers of this particular powder are contmuonsly calling for the publication of all the in gredients used in baldng powders, there can be no objection to its statement here. Among the impurities Prof. Chandler found Cleveland’s powder to contain a large amount of Rochelle Salts, 5.49 per cent, of lime, with alumina, starch and ■water, in quantities not stated. Alum is a substance declared b y the highest au thorities to be hurtful. If the balance of this residum in all the powders named is made up largely o f alum, as it is known to be in some, the public would like to to know it. Another official test that shall go quite to the bottom of the mat ter seems to be demanded. T H E N E W C H I E F JU S T ICE. The President yesterday nominated Mel ville W.

The following letter to the assessors of this village shows that a question of con siderable interest to tax-payers has been raised: Board of Assessors, Port Jervis, N. Y., G e n t l e m e n A client of mine, a tax-payer of the village, desires me to call your at tention to the assessment of property of active firemen within the village. By the Act exempting their property from assessment, it is provided that the math shall be determined by an election, an my client insists that it either means a election each year, or if one election is to determine the question, then it has been voted down and the exemption is im proper. At his request I submit the mat ter for your consideration, before institut ing any proceedings. Dated Port Jervis, N. Y., April 30th. Very Respectfully, A. Van Etten, jr., Atty., etc. The law was an act o f 1879, and reads that the question o f exemption of active firemen from taxation on an assessment of $500 be submitted to the voters at a general election or a special election, called for that purpose. In this place three elections have been held, at which this subject was voted up on. It was twice voted down, and at the last election five or six years ago, it was carried. On the strength of this last elec tion the active firemen have been exempt to the amoimt of $500 without any further action. The question is : Does one vote suffice for all time, or should the vote be taken annually ? T H E TO W N C O N V E N T IO N .

When about half way to the school house the mother saw her child Ijdng on the ground a short distance from the path with a huge dog standing on her, tearing the flesh from her breast and devouring it. Mrs. Goodspeed nearly fainted at the sight, but recovering, seized a club, and after a long fight managed to drive the beast away. The child was taken home and attended by physicians. Her left breast had been eaten away, leaving the lung exposed. While her limbs were horribly mangled. When she returned to consciousness she said she was on her way home when at tacked by the dog. At first sue screamed for help, but find ing that her cries only made the animal more ferocious she stood still and prayed. The dog knocked her down and bit her until the pain caused her to faint. The child cannot recover. IS S H E A F E M A R E JE K Y R R ? A N a n t ico k e , F a ,, S o c iety W o m a n Ctoarged w itto B u r g la r y a n d R a r c e n y .
