A PLAN suggested for tlio improvement
of First street Is that the property holders
pay two-thirds and the horough one-third
of the total cost. This Is an arrangement
followed by mail towns and it Is said to
work satisfactorily. The Adyooatk
trusts that tho property holders will agree
to any favorable arrangement so that work
can soon be commenced on the thorough'
fare.
Quite a number of Carbon county Grand
Juries haye at yarlous times condemned
the L. O. & N. Co.'s bridge crossing the
canal at JKelssport, without apparent ef
feet. The citizens of that community
should petition the Court for a rule com'
pelllng the company to ereit a bridge with
proper conveniences. The present struc
ture Is too narrow, and Is consequently
dangerous.
Prof. John IIenkt Comstock, tho
eminent naturalist, begins In tho New
York Ledger of March 1, a series of six
articles on the study of Insects, In which
he describes, not only thoso Insects which
arc useful to the farmer, but also, those
which destroy entire fields of grain, cotton
and rice, and ravage orchards, gardens and
vineyards. lie demonstrates how It was
scientifically determined that an ayerago
annual loss of $30,000,000 has been occas
loned In th South by tho rotton-worm
alone; and that an averago loss per year,
of nearly $2,400,000, has been brought
about In the apple crop of Illinois by the
ravages of the codlln moth. The series Is

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
recently rendered several decisions of cen
cral Interest In the matter of road 'tax,
The right of farmers to work out their
road Ux has been generally, If not unlyor
sally conceded; supervisors In a few town
ships insisted that the tax must be paid In
money. A test case has been decided in
favor of tho taxpayers, and their right to
work out the tax distinctly and finally
affirmed. In other cases collectors of road
taxes have claimed a commission on the
part worked out, as well as that paid Into
the township treasury. The Supreme
Court decides that all claims for such com'
misslans should bo rejected, tho working
out of the tax Imposing no labor on the
collector ortreasurer,bat on the supervisor,
who is paid for his services.
To an Inquirer tho Advooatb would
say that lc the matter of tho election of
constables and assessors, Judge Dreher, of
our courts, ruled that the Act of February
14, 1889, went Into effect at the February
election of that year, and that all constables
and assessors were then elected to servo
three years term, and tho constables cave
bonds for that period. Constables elected
at the lato February election will not bo
sworn In, for In case the ruling should be
reversed a special olection would ncccssar
ilyhave to be held to fill the office as It was
not properly advertised according to law,
or, possibly It would come within the juris
diction of the court to fill the vacancies
occurlng through a revision of the ruling
of the lower court, in that case it Is natural
to presume that the favored ones would be
the prtseut incumbents.
BROADBRIM'S II. Y. LETTE
.Last week, when the whole town was
howling about Douglas Green and Mrs,
McCiea, I held my peace, though I knew
them both better than nlnetv-nlno out of
hundred that were writing and talking
about them.
It's now almost two years since tho
mllllonlaro Snell was found dead in his own
house In Chicago, murdered by sonio one
no one to this day knows exactly who,
but universal suspicion seems to have fixed
on one Tascott; who from that day to this
has been a wanderer on the faco of the
earth, with a reward of forty thousand
dollars placed upon bis head.
Snell, who was killed, was not the most
amiable person In the world; he droye
hard bargains, and was merciless in the
enforcement of his monetary contracts
and that he was hated by. many, goes with'
out saying. He was full of queer streaks
and cranks, and many of his peculiarities
he seemed to hayo transmitted to his
daughter Alice, the heroine of the present
escapade. She married early, a gentlemau
named McCrea; but the honeymoon was
short ilyed, and she soon returned to her
father's bouse. She was a spoiled child
from the start; always used to having her
own way, and doing all sorts of strangn
things which kept society gossiping.
There was no controllng her; she would
do whatever she pleased, so poor JfcCrea
ave her up as a bad job, and they parted
A woman with plenty of money and
fixed principles, having no particular aim
In life, Is always treading on dangerous
ground. Alice Snell McCrea wanted
notoriety; the hungered for sensation, and
At one time attempted to study for the
stage. She was not bad looking; she was
not bad looklng;sbe was dressy and showy
Just, tho woman to catch the eye of that
class of men whose reputations, If not bad.
are at least exceedingly shady.
Douglas Green was not a bad fellow, on
the contrary, he was an exceedingly good
fellow,, handsome too, something of
masher; but'up to his recent escapade,
nothing serious bad been brought against
blm. He had a sweet little wife and two
children, and his domestic relations were
all that could be desired, no was a mem-
bsr of the Stock Board, with plenty
friends and very few enemies; he lived
wen noi extravagantly, uut always pro
vided bountifully for his family, and was
generally respected by all who knew
him.
Now life In the Stock Board, Is not con
duclyo to the highest morals; many ex
cellent and passingly upright men belon,
to It, but the great body of tho stock'
holders are what may .ba called fast. If
prize fight or a dog fight Is to bo got up,
the managing Pugs always make lor the
Stock Board. If tickets, are to be disposed
of for a shady French Ball, the Stock
Board Is the place to do It, Gambling Is
in She air. Horse racing and poker are
their fashionable relaxllons, and when
nothing else offers, they will match dollars
by the hour If stocks are dull. In these
matters, Douglas Green was not far differ
ent from his fellows.
Another danger to which the Tl'all
.street broker Is exposed, Is the wiles of
artful and designing women. From all
pans of the world they drift to Wall street,
and the broker Is legitimate game. They
want points on the rise and fall of Blocks,
and, sharp as the brokers are on stocks,
they fall an &sy prey to these adven
turesses. In this way fell poor Nat Hatch,
who was killed last year, while . In com
pany of tho adventuress, Mrs. Scoyllle,
who I see was arrested this week, for
grand larceny. Mrs. McOrea saw Douglas
Green, and fell desporatsly In love with
him, and Douglas Green returned the
compliment, by falling desperately in love
with Mrs. McCrea. Green's friends say
ho was crazy; yet up to the day of his
escapade, whon ho left his own little wife,
and sped off to Old Point Comfort to marry
Mrs. McCrea, ho was considered Quito sane
enough to go on 'Change, and buy and sell
stocks to the amount of hundreds of tbons
ands of dollars, but now that ho has com
mitted an act which places him In danger
of States Prison, his friends hope, In case
of his apprehension, to place him In a
Lunatic Asylum, Instead. It Is a strange
affair, look at It as we will, that a man of
fine business qualifications, of ample for
tune, with a good and handsome wife, and
sweet little children, should deliberately
march out of his own house,, all the arrange
ments having been made beforehand, and
marry a woman who was sure to drag him
down to ruin, anil mako him a criminal for
tho rest of his life.
The strangest part of 'the whole story Is
that Mr. Green was quito religious that
he was a regular attendant at the Presby
terian church, and never sat down to his
meals without saying praco before meat,
and went down on his knees eyery night
and said his prayers beforeho went to bed.
His poor little wlfo Is broken-hearted; his
partners and his relations feel disgraced.
Everybody who knew him Is asking;
What was ho thinking of?" "How
Could he do It?" I give It up. It's some
thing that no fellow can find ont. I'll
have to leave tho guess to him who told
Nellie Bly's time round the world within
half a Becond.
Tho benefit to Mrs. James G. Blaine,
Jr., tendered by the citizens of New York
last weok, brought out some of the best
society people In the city, and the financial
results was something over three thousand
dollars. For several months past the poor
young woman has been lying here racked
by acute rheumatism, utterly unable to
bolp herself, deserted by her husband aud
his family, and absolutely dependent for
food and shelter for herself and Infant on
the charity of friends, who hayo kindly
come forward to assist her. Mrs. James
G. Blaine, Jr., is loved and respected by
everybody who knows her, and It Is a
matter of profound regret among her
rlends that bsr young life should have
been blasted by her unfortunate marriage
with such a worthless husband. Many
times she has been requested by herfrlesdt
to enter suit to compel him to snpport her,
out in is sun positively refuses to do, pre
ferring to eat the bread of charity from
strangers-to being under the slightest obli
gation to her husband or Any of his
family.
two nundrcd millions could not save
him, so on Washington's Birthday John
Jacob Astor died. I suppose the proper
thing lodo would bo to give blm an obituary
notice declaring him a public enemy and
an oppressor of the poor man because he
was rich; If so, I shall not follow the com
mou rule. John Jacob Astor was born a
millionaire, so was his father before blm
and his grandfather, John Jacob, the
founder of the family, was a very rich man
if not a millionaire when his first child was
born. The two-hundred millionaire who
died on Friday never knew want. From
his eailiest life he always had millions at
his command, but he was no monoy grabber,
no miser; he gained no money by unjust or
illicit means. Ho was a just, square,
honorable man, whose word was his bond,
and no man who knew him ever called bis
word In question. He was not ostentati
ous In his charities, hut few men In New
York or out it distributed as much among
tbo poor. His wife's hand was never closed
during her Ufa time, and it seemed to give
her great delight to help the suffering poor,
Tho ragged little newsboys were her es
pecial care she never forgot them during
the holiday times, and they bless her
memory. Her death two years ago was a
terrible blow to Mr. Astor, their lives were
so happy together. Just after his wife'
death, feeling that the Inevitable was not
far off, he sent for his son, inillam
JFaldorf our late minister to Italy and
made oyer to him the greatbulk of his
fortune, only retaining a million or two for
his own use.
Notwithstanding bis Immense fortune
and his ackowledged social standing, he
was In no sense an aristocrat; he was a
self-respecting gentleman, quiet, unostenta
tious In bis bearing to his fellow men, and
summer and whiter, mornings and after
noons, might bo seen walking up and
down Broadway from his place of business
to his home on Fifth ayenue. His death
is a great loss to tho poor, though his
mantle falls most worthily on the shoulders
of his son, William rfaldorf, whois life up
to the present time has been no discredit
to bis family. The fortune is an Immense
one; but society Is fortunate la having as
Its custodian and almoner as wise, as just
and as charitable a man as IHUIam Waldorf
Astor.

Atlantlo City. Improvements on the Read
ing Railroad's eashore Line.
Those ot oar readers who know Atlantlo City
only ns a hot weather resort would be amazed
to witness the evidences of lite and activity now
observable there. Tho largest of all our coast
resorts, It well desorvos Its title ot ''Tho Ameri
can Brighton," haying within the past few years
been metamorphosed from a mere summer
pleasuring place to a great and permanent sani
tarium and abode of tecreatlon. The spring
season is now booming; alltno leading hotels
are now opes, and during the dally promenade
hour the beach Is crowded with votaries of fash-
Ion and seekers after health and rest. The re
markably heavy business done on the Reading
ltallroad's Atlantlo City line last year Has en
couraged Its management to still further Im
prove that excellent road. By the liberal expen
diture of large sums of money in strengthening
the permanent way, and Increasing the equip
ment, supplemented by wide and skllltul adver
tising, this route was lumped to the front of sea
shore lines In a way that astounded conserva
tive railroad men, and the courage and enter
prise ot rresldent Corbln and his able coadju
tors were amply rewarded by an enormous'ln-
crease In the road's patronage.
In anticipation ot a still greater volume of
travel during the coming summer, the road Is
being double-tracked over Its entire length ltn
70-pound steel rails, and It Is expeeted that this
Improvement will bo complelcd by Apniist,
making the Reading the first, and, for tbo pres
ent. the only double-track railroad between
Philadelphia and tho seashore. IMS win en
able trains to be moved with Increased prompt
ness, and It will also have the effect ot establish
ing an additional safeguard against accident,
Tho Reading's now depot In Atlantic City Is
said to bo tho finest and most complete railway
structure on the coast. It Is 6S0 feet long, with
a frontage of loo feet on Atlantic Avenue the
main thoroughfare. The train sheds are 430 feet
long, with room for six tracks, and betwesn
these are platforms twenty-five feet wide. J. ho
spacious waiting rooms are artistically finished
In oak, with mahogany furnishings and rich
curtains. Architecturally, the station Is a beau
ty, and Its great dimensions will enable the rail
road people t handle Immense crowds without
dlfllcultv or delay. Arrangements have been
made to augment the motive power and car
equipment to meet the expected "boom," and
Readlug odclals predict a phenomenally big
season ot travel.
