Chas. Meyers, of Port Jervls,
while passing Jadwin's corner, was
struck on the head by a block of
wood which dropped from the top
of the telephone pole, located at
that place. It was very fortunate for
Mr. Meyers that his hat was strong
enough to deflect the force of the
blow, for the weight of the block
and the distance It fell was sufficient
to have fractured his skull had It
not been for the lint. The tele
phone company gave Mr. Meyer a
new hat and he went on his way
thankful for his narrow escape.

HAItRIMAN'S NEW HOME.
The Finest Residence In America
To-dny.
E. H. Harrlman's palatial resi
dence at Ardcn is fast nearlng com
pletion nnd It is said that ho gave,
orders to have the work done by
the time he returned from Europe.
The walls and Interior nrc finished
and most of the workmen nro now
engaged on the tennis courts. The
interior is described ns rich nnd
elegant, but not gorgeous. Much
use Is made of nntive woods in lin
ing the walls. Mr. Harrlman's
son's rooms nre finished In cherry.
There are separate rooms for all
.the domestics and the household
will be a large one.
' The view is described as grand.
The wooded mountain tops, billow
ing one nbove the other, stretch In
every direction. Summer and
winter the aspect will be such as
to captivate the eye, inspire the Ima
gination, nnd charm the beholder
Into the pleasures of living. While
the air on the hill-top will be fif
teen degrees cooler In summer and
warmer In winter than In the val
leys, there will be with the seasonB
a constant change of color to lend
enchantment to the vista of scen
The lawns being laid out, will
parallel those of tho regal castles ot
Europe. It Is said that tho smooth
ness, glossiness and beauty of tho
old world lawns have been wrought
by nge, some ot them being 1,000
years old, leveled by the tread of
human feet for centuries. Yet at
the Harrlman residence, when fin
ished, It Is probable there will be
found stretches of the softest sward,
on made ground over blnsted rock,
that will rival anything of the kind.
The terrnced garden In front of tho
house has been planted with a maze
of attractive Bhrubbery.
Altogether, ns the great dwelling
approaches completion, tho foresight
nnd taste of Mr. Harrlman In choos
ing this site for his home is being
more nnd more npprecated. It ex
cels in cost and beauty anything of
which Tuxedo park can boast or In
fact any dwelling around Greater
New York.
Property values have been en
hanced In every direction around,
an army of workmen hnve been em
ployed for two years, and what was
formerly barren rock and wild
woodland has been converted Into
an Inviting domain fit for the habi
tation of those of the most aesthetic
tastes.

Epitok ok "The Citizen."
About two weeks ago the Bell Tele
phone Company instructed the Consoli
dated Telephone Company to remove its
wires, from pole lines on High and East
Street, they apparently being under the
impression that they owned the pole line
in question. The Consolidated Company
very promptly informed them that the
line in question was the property of the
Electric Light Company, and on Thurs
day of last week a conference was held
between the Bell, Consolidated and Elec
trie Light officials, at which time the
Electric Light officials informed the Bell
people in no uncertain manner that the
line in question was the property of the
Electric Light Company, nnd that the
Consolidated Company had every right
to occupy the same, by agreement with
the Electric Light Company.
Notwithstanding this, without a word
of warning the Bell Company cut every
Consolidated wire in question, on Tues
day morning, thereby disconnecting
about fifty telephoncs.thinking to cripple
the Consolidated Company in this dis
trict, nnd the subscribers be forced to
co over to tho Bell Company, however
within 24 hours afterward the Consoli
dnted Te onhono Company had recon
nected every telephone.
