the State as kept in the Treasurer's Office,

found the finances in a healthy condition.
They went through the books very carefully,
and found the receipts and disbursements of
the Office, and viewed carefally all the trans
actions of the fiscal year. and gave consider
able attention to the balance Sheet 1t is
gratifying to find that the committee speak
particularly of the care and uniform exact
ness shown by the Treasurer, Mr.. Joseph
Sooy, and his assistants, in the discharge of
their duties. They also speak of the financial
skill exhibited in the keeping of the accounts
of the Office, and say that these gratifying
results give assurances to the people of the

without practical success. 1t appears from
the following that it has, now been accom-
plished. The Nctcdra Daily Advertiser says
Mr.. II. M. Paine, of the Electro Motor
Company has just returned from Washington,
where he went to exhibit one of their horse
electromagnetic enginesto number of promi-
nent government officials with view to IFS
adoption as the motive power for torpedo
boats. All who witnessed its operations ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased with the
invention, and Mr.. Paine says that he re-
ceived an order to construct IN engine of 500
horse power immediately, to be used for torpe-
do boats. This engine can be used for such
purpose where steam cannot, as it does not re-
quire any air to run the machine.

A DARING FEAT-A Trenton paper says
AS a photographer was few days ago en-
gagged in taking views of the Government
building being erected in this city, young
man, one of the riggers of the immense der
ricks, climbed up and stood erect upon the
top of the mast, at height of ninety feet
from the ground, and had his figure taken in
the photograph in that position. The place
on which he stood is only few inches across,
and it made ones head spin to sec him poised
in mid air upon the narrow top of that high,
bare pole. Few men would have had the
nerve to perform this feat

DEATH oE PETER d. VRooM.-Ex- Gov
ernor Vroom died at his residence in Trenton
on Tuesday morning of last week, aged SO
years. In his death, " says the State Gazette,
the bar of New Jersey loses one of its most
illastrious ornaments, and the State OF New
Jersey one of it's most eminent and useful
public men. AS lawyer Mr. Vroom has
been one of the most conspicuous and efficient
of that galaxy of legal minds who have given
such eminence to New Jersey jurisprudence.
He has been practitioner in the courts OF
this State for sixty years. BY the force OF
unceasing industry, extraordinary ability, ana
an uncompromising integrity and nobleness OF
character inherent in the very fibre of the
mans nature, he rose to, and maintained up
to the time of his last and fatal illness, lead
ing position at the bar Of the State. He was
a native of Somerset county, and was the
Youngest son of Peter ID. Vroom, a Colonel
of the Revolution He, after graduating,
practised law in Morris, Sussex and Hunter
don counties; and was elected member OF the
Assembly from Somerset in 1896, ~ and 20
In October, 1929, he was elected in Joint
Meeting of the Legislature, Governor of New
Jersey. He was the candidate Of the jackson
Democrats, and was reelected Governor in
1880 and 1884, In 1882 the Wings carried the
State, and Samuel l.. Southland was elected
Governor, but in 1888, Governor Vroom was
reelected also in 1886, and 1886. He was a

For THE RECORD.
A SwISnIE.-70n. Monday evening last, a
travelling soaps dealer arrived inA Stockton and
employed boy to travel around the village
ringing large dinner bell. and inviting the
citizens to gather at Sharp's Hall, at the sign
of the barber pole tsshave lShor,' to see the
pig Shaved. Quite 4 crowd soon gathered,
and the travelling dealer introduced them into
the mysteries Of his game. BY paying an
amount of cash they had the privilege of
picking out number of soap cake and would
receive an amount in return corresponding to
numbers found upon the package. Whether
this was dirty crowd or not we cannot say,
but the soap appeared to be in demand by all
classes, Sabbath School teachers and mem
bers of different churches being among the
number eager for soap. At the close of the
gambling sale, those engaged returned home
with purses considerably lighter than when
they came, but without enough soap in their
pockets to wash their eonsciences clean. After
engaging in this disgracefnl business they
can make a long face and cry "hard times,
..money is tight, &c. Xxx
