Progress on the Railroad.
Grading on the new railroad is
being pushed and gangs of men have
been working this week on the Quinn
Cnmmings, Fierce, Pinchot and
West-brook farms. New derricks
and the engine, iron and materials
for the bridge have arrived, and the
Company bids fair to have the road
in operation by July. The people
here generally will wolcome its
coming, as it will introduce a dif
ferent order in our business and
cronto new conditions to which our
people must adjust their nffairs.
That it will bring sharper competi
tion, because of the facility it will
afford for easy and cheap communi-cit-ion
to other towns of which
many will avail themselves, there is
no doubt, but it will oroato new
life here, and make our town a ship
ping point and also a location for
manufacturing enterprise which af
ter all is the life blood of a commun
ity. That no more products are raised
hore than are necessary for homo
consumption, and that thero will
be nothing to ship is a fallacy.
Accommodations being givon, enter
prise must arise and those who de
sire to advance in prosperity must
relinquish the old idoa that isolation
is the better condition. A rail
road will in all respects place us
on the same goneral level with other
towns, and in this age to be without
such facility is to be far behind the
age. We must simply advance with
the occasion, rise to the opportunities
afforded, take the hand of progress
and pull your solves above the levil
of the other competitors. Others
will soo the chances and usurp the
benefits if our people do not awaken
and improve the possibilities.

THE SOLDIERS DEPART
WITH PAR APS AND BANQUET. SI'KFOHKS
FLAOS AND FIREWORKS,
Port Jervis had a grand time
Wednesday evening celebrating tho
departure of her recruits. Forty
nine volunteers have boon enlisted
there, among thorn, David Case,
of Milford, John O. Rourke, of Ltick
awaxen, Win H. Roosa, Wm. S.',
Fred A., and Frank Stempert, and
W. H. Perry, of Montague, N. J.
The citizens gave the boys a grand
send off on the ove of their depart
ure for tho war. A bouquet was
held at the Fowler House, and a
parade in whioh the Fire depart
ment Drum Corp's Bands, and the
G. A. R. Post participated, speeches
were made by several' gentlemen
and the town was ablaze with deco
rations.
It is devoutly to be hopod that
the young men may be permitted to
return without a single loss to their
number. It may bo no holiday ex
cursion for them, and wo all feel
a personal interest in their welfare,
an 1 trust that should thoy bo called
on to face a Spanish foo a kind Prov
idence will protect and guard them,
and iermit a happy re-union with
friends and --elntives, their ranks
unbroken.
The Press And Its Readers
We feel profoundly grateful for
the many kind and encouraging
words spoken concerning the Puf.ss,
and to know that our efforts to make
it newsy and a welcome paper in the
family circle are appreciated. Of
course, in these times the general
public is anxious to have the latest
information in regard to the war,
and the city dailies are having a
large circulation and oro now reap
ing a harvest, whilo really giving
little moroof facts and reliable nows
than is contained in the humble
country weeklies Tho largo dailies
are filled with rumors, speculations,
and conjooturos which are assorted
doubted, denied and reaffirmed in
tho same sheet. From tho very
nature of the war, moniontous evonts
will only transpire at intervals, days
and perhaps weeks apart, and those
events will bo oondensod in the
Press without the aid. of fancy or
fiction to whioh many journals are
now so prone.
Wo desire, and our aim is, to fur
nish only nows which is reliable
and well authenticated.
Differences in Altitude.
Tho report of the State Geologist
of New Jorsey giving tho elovations
above tido, does not agree with the
report of our State Goologistl. C.
White, made in 1881. Tho Now
Jersey authority gives tho Delaware
river at mouth of the Nevorsink'
409 ft. whilo our roport says 415.
The highest point in Sussex Co. is
High Point 1804 ft. The New Jor
sey report gives the level of river
at Dingmans Ferry 358 ft. and ours
350. Our report gives elevation of
river at Milford 380 ft. It is not
given in the other. Whilo there
are slight differences yet it becomes
apparent that tho scientific gentle
men do not agree and wo wonder
who is right, if either is. The ex
amples of variation are six foot in
each instance and this may have
arison through somo mistake, hut
in scientifio niattors there should bo
great accuracy, and wo would like
to know just precisely how high we
are.

May 11th a flerco fight took place
in Cardenas Bay botwoen the gun
boat Wilmington and Hudson, the
torpedo boat Winslow, and the land
batteries, and four Spanish gunboats.
Our vessels entered the harbor and
were fired upon by the Spaniards-
tho battle lasted about an hour. A
shot disabled the Winslow 's boilers
and she signalled for help. The Hud
son went to her assistance and just as
a line was being thrown, a shell
burst among a group of men on tho
Winslow killing Worth Bagley, En-
Rign, John Varveses, oiler, Joseph
Tunnoll, cabin cook, G. B. Meok and
J. Denfer, firemen, and wounding
five others, among them Lieut. J. B.
Bornadon, Commander of the Win
slow. Tho disabled boat was towed
awny. It is thought tho Spanish
loss was heavy, and that one of
their gunboats was sunk and a large
part of tho town noar the wharves
destroyed. Tho squadrcn under
Admiral Sampson reached San Juan,
Porto Rico, May 12 at. day break,
but found no armed vessels in the
port. An attack wis commenced
which lasted about three hours and
resulted in much damage to the bat
teriosaud to a portion of the city ad
jacent, to them. The batteries re
plied but without material effect.
One man was killed and seven slight
ly wounded, in tho squadron. The
ships were not injured. Tho Span
iards wore wretched marksman ns
they Fred hundreds of shots, but hit
the New York and Iowa only once.

tho shore, were firod on by several
small Spanish batteries outsido tho
town, and two were killed and six
wounded. The three vessels then
moved into close range and quickly
sileneod tho guns of the enemy.

faithful member of Hopo Evangelical

Communicated
Editor Piticss :
Allow mo to tako exception
through your columns to the re
marks ol E. P. U. made two woeks
ago, about road hogs refusing to fur
nish shell stones and gravel free for
road improvonumt. . The rouson is
this : For four yoors I have been
furnishing free gravel, and last year
I offered to give a long row of shell
stones, tho only labor roquired was
to throw thorn in on a pieco of road
road back of my property . I offered
to furnish gravel froo of charge, six
inches to a foot thick, if thoy would
take and cart it on. Not a bit was
taken, consequently I mode up my
mind this season, when the roads
had to bo ropairod, to charge five
cents a load.
They are vory willing to have free
gravol in order to havo an opportu
nity to woar out tho tax lovy in
short ordor, but when it comes to
making a good road that is another
thing.
Another reason is, whothor
through incapacity or unwillingness
tho roads gonorally are not properly
drainod, or put in such condition
that thoy will not wash, consequent
ly it is only a waste of taxes to put
the material on, and I might as well
charge for it. A neighbor told me
ho rotusod gravel for the reason ho
had a piece of road which was smooth
enough for a bicycle track, and he
furnished free gravel to put on .
When tho job was done a horte
could 'not. trot over it ithout,
danger of injury. Ho thought it.
better to refuse froo gravel when
put to such uses. J.C.

Feb. 17th, l--dd, Ira B.Nmvman died
at Milford at the ago of 45. Ho
was a successful educator of youth,
and had nearly completed tho large
brick building near Dingmans, call
ed Manor Hall, which was designed
for a boys' school.
May 6, steamboat Alfred Thomas,
making a trial trip from Easton to
Bolvidore, with one hundred per
sons on, board blew up at Easton.
Eleven wero killed and fourteen in
jurod more or less seriously, one of
whom subsequently died. The
water got too low in the boiler,
which tho Coroner's jury found was
poorly constructed, and also that
tho engineer was careless.
CUBAN RECEPTION.
An informal reception was ex
tended to Mr. Albert Guerin at
the residence of Father Treis in
Matamoras Monday night. A largo
number of the people of St.Joseph's
Church wore present. Mr. Guerin
is a brother-in-law of Father Treis.
Ho is a Cuban by birth, having
boon horn at Cionfuogos, whioh was
bombarded by tho U. 8. fleet last
week. Though he has lived in New
York city for tho past twenty years,
ho has during that period held a
position as steward in the American-Havana
line steamers.
He was on the Saratoga which
was still in Havana harbor when
tho war was declared. The Bhip
met with a narrow escape, having
boon fired on by the forts, but found
shelter behind a steamer bearing
tho Rod Cross flag. As the Sara
toga got out of the harbor she met
the torpedo boat Cushlng, which,
finding it to be an American steam
er, dismissed it with orders to make
for tho Florida coast with all haste.
Thero wero 250 passongors on board,
very much affrightoned people.
Though the usual speed of the Sara
toga is about 14 knots, it oovered
375 miles in 21 hours.
Mr. Guerin is a vory pleasant
gentleman. Ho speaks English
quite fluently, though with a pro
nounced Spanish accent.
Ho told many interesting stories
of Cuban lifo, of Spanish cruelty
n nd treachery and intorspersod his
account, with numerous incidents.
Ho is an American citizon and is en
thusiastic for Cuban freedom, and
his graphic account of tho real state
of t'.iban affairs convoyed to all tho
conviction that tho faots at made
known to the public have uot boen
exaggerated.
Mr. Guerin was listened to with,
rapt attention and all extended to
him a vote of thanks for his highly
interesting talk. Before leaving,
the party was treated to a delicious
lunch. Toasts were passed to Cub
an liberty, Admiral Dewey, Admiral
Sampson and "Unole Sam."
After singing the patriotio songs,
"Tho Star Spangled Banner," and
"My Country 'Tia of Thee.", the
party retired with the unanimous
verdict that, thanks to Rev. Father
Treis and Mr. Guerin, it was one of
the most dolightful evenings they
had ever spont.

Attraotive Window Display
The window display advertising
Malt Extract at St. John's drug
store arrests the attention of passers
by. The front of tho window spaco
is filled with bottles of the extract
while in the rear is a modern Her
cules or Sampson elevating and
lowering a lUU-lb dumb bell. The
figure is so arrunged that it works
automatically until the machinery
runs down when it can be wound np
aeain. Oliver Squires is fertile in
tho invention of ingenious deviceu
for advertising the goods in which
they duul.
