An information has been issued in Justice Hammer's court against May Thompson, a woman who has been living over Walter's harness shop on Uppor Broadway, chargiog her with being an 1umate of a house of pros- itution. The complamant is Mrs. William Priest, wife of a barber who has been doing business on Broadway vear the corner of First street. The filing of the information {8 the seaucl to & story of domestic troubles whicn have been going on in the Priest houschold for some time past, Mrs, Priest cluims that her husband has been led astray by the machinations of Miss Thompson, 50 that she cheated out of that portion of her hus- band’s society which belongs to her by right. She deternined to put a stop to this, ana with that end in view has in- volved the strong arm of the law to her assistance. Miss Thompson learned that something desperate was about to be doue, however, and a day or two ago shut up hee house aud flea to the seaside. Priest sold out his barber shop, and there was a report last night that he had left town, but an investigation failed to verify the rumor. All efforts to find the woman have been unavailing, but Justice Hammer's oftice will be kept warm tfor her night and day in the hope that she will return. e —— DeWitvs Littlo Early fasers; only pill to cure sick headache aud regulate the bowels.

Railroad Contracts Suggested by the Bordentown M onument. The first railrond monument erected in this country was unveiled at Borden- town, N. J., by the Pennsyl \Railroad company, on the sixticth anniversary of the operation of a stewn railvoad in the state. On November 12, 1831, the ‘-John ull,” a locomotive brought over from England by Colonel John Stevens, in August of that year, made its first teip with a load of passengers over a piece of track laid between where the monument now stands and a granite shaft about 3,500 feet eastward of it. After along and bitter fight the project of a steam railway had advanced far enough to justify'a public trial trip, and accord- ingly'on that day, 60 yenrs ago, n large numbor of the membérsof the legisluture and other state officials boarded the two carringe-like cars, und the train made eral trips over the short line without accident or delay. This trial, although it was not followed by others till sometime afterwards, as many defects 1n the locomotive had to be overcome, practicully opened the era of steam traflicin the state. On this fiest trip with pagsengers the engineer w we Dripps, who 1s still living. now 82 years old. The old engine is still in existence in the United States National Museum in Washington. It weighs only ten tons, and the boiler 12 feet long and 3 feet 6 inches in diameter. The firing was done with pine and oak wood, no coil being used. The monument is 11 feet 6 inches high. It consists of a great rough-hewn square block of granite, 6 feet high, mounted on a foundation of granite blocks, which are the original blocks from the old track. Running in a circle the base of the monument is an iron track, whichisa part of the original track. It is fastened to the stone bloc ith ths old spike that held the track in place sixty years ago, and the whole thing malkes a simpl fitting memorial. A stone shaft about 5 feot high is situated 3,500 t east of the monument. Between these points the track was laid. The monument is sit- uated about a mile from Bordentown station, immediately alongside tho present railvoad track. On the face, which is turned toward the track, is a bronze relief representing the old engine John Bull, with its tender carrying the cask that held the water for the boiler, and with two of the high-bodied conches attached. Underneath is the inscription also in relief: “Pirst movement by steam on a rail- road in the State of New Jersey, Novem- ber 12, 1831, by the ori locomotive, John Ilu\l. now deposited in the United States National Musgeum at Washington, The first pic of railroad track in New Jersey was laid by the Camden and Amboy Ruilrond company, between th point and the stone, 3,500 feet castward, Cut in the stoneon the west face of the block is the inscription: *“The iron rails were laid on stone blocks ana fastened by spikes dviven into holes in the stond, plugged with wood.” What a L *Yel suid an en, grown pray in the servie pany, a5 he stood beside in Jersey City the other pense attending a run-over accident when you ave on an engine smothers one.

He does not hear oven that, 80 you try to stop the train. The air brakes are put on, the engine is reversed and the great drivers begin working backward, sending fire in showers from the shining steel rails, while sparks of live coals from the furnae shoot from the stack high up into the sky as the monster groans and struggeles, vainly trying to stop the train behind. “While you draw nearer and nearer to the victim the suspense is absolutely beyond description. Al efforts are use You feel a slight jar as the devil is struck, and a cold sweat breaks out all over your body, and a faint feel ing comes over you, until you fall back on your seit, sick at heart, and wonder what the fate of the man was and vhether he leaves a family and what sadness there will be when they learn the newsat home, Youthink that you would like to stop railroading and earn a living at something olse, Moan- time the train has come to standstill, The engine has ceased her struggles and the only sound you hear the throb- bing of the air-brake as it pumps back and forth, making a noise like the breathing of some ex isted beast. The baggage-master, conductor and brake- man rush outof the cars and take all that is left of the victim from under the wheels, “Well, you know his fate now.

When the pilot of the engine hits him it usually knocks him down and then rolls him for a few 1s under it before the trucks Strike him, and when they do there is great danger of them leaving the rails. The drivers are almost certain to follow the trucks, and if you don't go down the bank you are lucky, So you sec what havoce one pig can make with a railrond. Another disagreeable thing about a pig is that he never stops squealing from the time he is hit until he is stone dead.
