? ? : ? ? ? ? 74 o< All The Npws From Surrounding T.owns. >o / SOUTH AMBOY A TROLLEY CHAT. Mr. Harry Perrine has entered salt for ejectment againet the Jersey Cen tral Traotion Company. They were a nuisance to him. It is said they or dered hi* workmen to Ret ont of their war when they were forking for him. He gave them the tight of way on a road through gome property, but it leads aronnd and passes the cemetery. In the estimation of some, all that 1 the trolley company have been figuring on wa? to join the M. & S. trolley road and get the right of wa> to the bridge, and as for the interest of people and property holders that' they oared not for. The patties think that the borongh ought to receive some benefit from it. That idea tallies with' what the Hon. J. Montgomery said regarding the M. & 8. Traotion Company, that if the Jersey Central went aronnd the borongh tbe'M. & S. wouldn't think of running throught he borough'either, but would pull up their tracks, as the little traffio wouldn't count {and they wouldn't care for that. The position Mr. Perrine has taken regarding the right of way through his property, will not allow the comt>any to come down Broadway as proposed by them , in their application, even if the ooun ^ oil grants the franohise for that route and they will be foroed to go past the cemetery or outside of the borough. There are a number of < people as well as some of the oounoilmen. who think that is only a bluff, but the Hon. John M. is very earnest in his opinion that there is no bluff and that the company means just what it savs. If the council grants the franchise, as one oounoilman says they will, they are perfectly safe in so doing as Mr. Perrine oannot be bought and he places a great obstacle in the way. Is there another bluff on the other side of the house? Several of the conn oil men are greatly opposed to the .route as laid down in this last application and yet it is said they will grant it. It wonld appear that a great deal can be read between the lines. One party may be as good at bluffing ? as they think the other party is. OUR CEMETERY. Plants in the cemetery show the effect of the dronght that prevailed before the ruiny weather set in, bat some of the plots look pretty notwith standing. The oare taker had been nsing the grass mower to good effedt on a nnmber of the plots and they were quite a contrast to those that had not been mowed. One grave in the cemetery, in a plot always oare fnlly tended, had pansies on either side of it in full bloom and some kind hand bad placed a bouquet of flowers on it, while another had placed a pot containing a plant. A oard was tied on the plant with a narrow white ribbon, bnt the rain had effaced the name of the dunor. This will be read by one who loved to pnt flowers on her darlings grave, bnt who is far away from it now and too ill to come to it, and Bhe will be pleased to learto that it is not negleoted by her friend*. She wrote such a pretty little letter to me, saving ' ' We are waiting for the L News, " we read your items and the one yon wrote abont the oemetery went right home, etc. " 1 thought It a good reply to the question asked me, "What do the people want to go to the cemetery for?" when talking trolley. 1 PANSIES. Many people complain of pansies dying after having bloomed a while in the early part of the season. A certain magazine states that it is a good plan to out off the tops of pansies this month, July, and they will sprout 5 anew and blossom as formerly and even better. It will be a great satis faction for many, if this is oorreot and it is worth trying, for pansy lovers dislike to see their favorites die. The pansies in G. Straub's garden, on the Heights, are a sight. They are a mass of bloom and the leaves are almost hidden beneath the lovely blossoms. Advertising is the life of trade. H. P ARISEN 201 David St So.
