A CHANCE TO GET MANURE. 



Thousands of Jersey commuters, who 

 daily make the trip to New York city, 

 are about to lose two familiar land- 

 marks. These are the mountains of 

 strawy manure which border the tracks 

 of the Pennsylvania, Erie and Lacka- 

 wanna railroads in that part of the 

 Hackensack meadows lying about three 

 miles on the New York side of Newark. 

 The Pennsylvania and Erie managements, 

 which maintained these malodorous heaps 

 for so many years that the traveling pub- 

 lic had given up hope of the abatement 

 of the nuisance, have been induced to 

 promise their removal by reason of the 

 protests of the pollution committee of 

 the New York Merchants' Association. 

 Last month Edward Hatch, Jr., chair- 

 man of the committee, wrote to the two 

 roads, pointing out the fact that the 

 manure heaps were vast breeding grounds 

 for countless flies which menaced the 

 health of New York, the metropolitan 

 district and even more distant localities, 

 and asking that the practice of storing 

 manure in the meadows be discontinued. 



He has received a letter from the 

 Erie, saying that the company appreci- 

 ates the objection which is made to the 

 proximity of the manure heaps to the 

 tracks and will make arrangements for 

 its removal. The Pennsylvania has noti- 

 fied the authorities of the town of Kear- 

 ny that the location of its manure piles 

 will be changed, a more remote site 

 farther south having been selected. 



Thus an institution which has brought 

 reproach upon two great trunk lines, not 

 only from commuters, but from trav- 

 elers from all parts of the country, is 

 happily to pass out of existence, for 

 these are the only manure heaps main- 

 tained by railroads in the neighborhood 

 of New York. 



Faboo, N. D.— The McClellon Floral 

 Co., a new firm, has opened a store in the 

 Haas block, at 607 Second avenue north, 

 and is making rapid preparations for the 

 approach of the busy season.

 las, Fort Worth and New Orleans. A
