that /; makes aborers lien TO mort gage.
Mr. Uepdilcks0n introduced bill for the relief o. cili
zens living along the lines OF railroads in this STATE.
The bill provides that If any railroad fails TO run daily
trains for days, the Chancellor upon the petition Il

the Long Branch and Sea Shore portion, throw them
into bankruptcy, and then buy in their stock cheaply
and that he has further ucrOr designs winch have not
developed themselves Tns Is why perhaps, there ls
manifest ndispostion on the part OF some legislators
