SIMON'S GREAT BLUFF.
The Blonde Bearded Friedberger
Talking Railroad Again.
Will Hulld One In The Summer It la
Hinted that Ills Newly Wedded Wife,
Who In Said to be Worth tao,000,WI!l
Furnish Mis Capital. What Local Men
Think.
A few weeks ago the Times re
ported the marriage of Simon Fried
bcrgcr.tho treasure and Pooh Bah of
the late Delaware Valley Electric
Railway, to Miss Lazarus, of New
York city. ,
It has since been learned that tho
wife of tho blond bearded Simon is
possessed of great wealth, as much
as f 150.000,
With this large amount of capital
it is said that Friedberger proposes
to build tho East Stroudsburg and
Matamoras Railroad, for which he
possesses tho charter.
The dnpiier Simon chums to have
closed a deal with a reputable firm
of railroad contractors to build the
steam railrod as soon as the flowers
bloom in the spring, and it has been
hinted that the money, with which
the road will be built, will be f urn-
ished by the lady who he has recently
married in New York city.
Application will be made for right
of way through East Stroudsburg
very shortly and then all things will
bo complete, as a steam railroad
charter' gives the right to the part
ios to go ahead and pre-empt lands
and condom the property. It will
be remember that Messrs. Arbogast
and Carrick ran out tho lino for the
railroad last summer.
A reporter interviewed several of
those interested in the Delaware
Valloy Railway each one character
izing Friedberger 's statement as ono
grand bluff.
An execution has boen issued
against the East Stroudsburg and
Matamoras road for $138 and over
for labor claims. Mitchol Palmer,
Esq., was recently in Philadelphia
to Borve the papers on the ex-trea
surer but he was out of town.
If tho claims are not paid in a
von time the road will bo sold at
auction and the charter forfeited
This will, of course, end any further
interference on Friedborger's part.
Tho whole matter looks as if Friod-
borircr has a somewhat dog in the
manger feeling about the matter,
lie was unable to build the road
himself and hates to see others stop
in and accomplish what he could not
do. Stroudsburg Times.

SENATOR VEST TALKS.
Free Distribution of Seeds Discon
tinued.
Scores the Secretary of Arlrtilnrt Sy
He Raises I'lante Cleveland's Bouquets.
Cats oft the Pobr Farmers' Seeds and Is
a Gold Bag.
We lost week mentioned the fact
that Secretary of Agriculture Morton
had discontinued the free distribu
tion of seeds, and now this is wliat
Senator Vest thinks of that worthy.
He said the technical construction of
the law by the Secretary was a mere
sham to cover up his personal op
position to this particular law which
had stood for years, and had been
executed with incalculable value to
the whole country. It was an effort
to discredit those in Congress who
distribuuted seeds. The Democra
tic party has been most unfortunate
not only as to its internal discords
but also in the fact that the devil
has owed it a grudge and paid it in
a Secretary of Agriculture.
The Secretary has put the Demo-
cratio party in antagonism to the
great agricultural interests of the
party, although that party had al
ways stood as the close friend of ag
riculture. Why did not this secre
tary turn his search light on the sale
of bonds to a foreign syndicate?
Why did he not investigate tho pro
fligacy of public printing. The gi
gantic intellect of this Secretary of
Agricult ure has daily gone outside
of his legitimate duties and why did
it not discover some of the really
flagrant abuses?"
"This Secretary, " assumed to run
the entire Goverment. He baa been
practically the Secretary of the Trea
sury, flooding this country with re
ports and pamphlots.denouncing the
silver lunatics and upholding the
single gold standard.
Here was this Secretary, declared
Mr. Vest, "cultivating orchids and
lilies of the valley and palms to
grace the banquets and receptions of
the President in this city, but when
we give a few seeds to some poor
farmer this Secretary springs to
arms and liberty lies bleeding in the
street. "
As for himsolf , he would rather
send seed to some struggling farmer
of the West or put one flower in the
sick room of some poor girl, than to
decorate the banquets where the
chandeliers flashed its light across
the red wine.
" Why should the colossal capa
city of this Secretary of Agriculture
be restricted to cabbages?" ex
claimed Mr. Vest. There was much
amusement through the chamber
and in the galleries as the Senator
compared the Secretory with classic
heroes. Like the war horse of Job,
his neck is clothed with the thun
ders, and he sayeth amoung the
trumpets, "Ha, ha? "
"The trouble is," said Mr. Vest,
" that the Secretary of Agriculture
is a monomaniac on the gold stand
ard. He sees only gold, gold, red
gold, and he thinks any man who
does not see as he sees is a lunatic."
Mr. Vest closed shortly after 2
o'clock with a remarkably sarcastic
and bitter peroration. He refered to
the useless seeds, "which it was as
sorted the Secretary had properly
refused to buy. But, added the Sena
tor, there was one seed not men
tioned.
It was, " he proceeded, smiling
maliciously, the aurifer feniculum
canis Mortonae, or in plainer words,
Morton's golden dogweed. This
would flournish while this Socretary
swinging his golden censor at the
Executive Mansion shouted, "Holy
holy art thou, oh Grover, king of
kings and lord of lords. ,
