A Mortgage for 81OO, 600 900 Recorded.
The largest mortgage ever recorded in
this state, and perhaps in the United
States, has just been entered in the Office
of the recorder of deeds in Philadelphia.
The exceptional document was the blanket
mortgage of the Philadelphia s. Reading
railroad company devised by President
GOwen for the relief of the company, and
is for $3.50, ,OO0, 900. The loan is in the form
of a 5 per cent. consol, and is joint mort
gage by the railroad and coal and iron COM
panies, and is isexecuted to the Pennsylvania
company for insurance on lives and grant,
ing annuities. 1t covers 260 pages of
legal cap, and is most formidable look
ing instrument. This mortgage covers all
the property of the company covered by
the income mortgage, which includes
all the railroads and household estates
of the company at the time that the
mortgage was executed, and does not
include the leases of the Bound Brook
and North Pennsylvania railroads, which
have been included, however, in the Sc
curities Of the present mOrtgager All the
real estate of the company IS also included.
All the property Of tho coal and iron com.
pany is also included, which, however, is
subject to two prior mortgages, one for
s25, 200, 600 aud another for $4,000, 900.
The total of mortgages on the railroad. is
$40, 600, 900, aud the $50, 100000 Oh tho
coal and iron company makes tho total
upon the two companies S105, 600, 600, and
it was supposed that this covered every
thing the companies owned or ever OK
pected to own. The cost of recording the
mortgage in Philadelphia will be $3.50, and
the total cost of recording it in all the
counties through which the line of the
company runs will be about s25 900.

ROBESUN'S CANVASS.

Republicans Who Arc Dotormined to Pre-
| vent HIS Return To Congress.

that the present representative is to havl

held thus far show that tho opposition in

until the calling of the convention. By
system practised perhaps in no other con
gressional district, it is known almost
from day to day just how the candidate.
stand. Instead OF holding the delegate
| election in each of the five counties com
prising the district, the chairman of each
executive committee in each of tho town
ships is empowered to appoint the day
whenever he may see fit, and this power
gives him an opportunity to work for the
benefit of whichever candidate he may
favor.
The first election was held last week in
Commercial township, Cumberland county,
the home of James H. Nixon, RobesOn' 8
opponet for the nomination. It was called
suddenly, without notice, and resulted in
tho election of three out of the five dele
gates for Robson. Tho second election
in Upper Penn's Neck township, Salem
county, elected Robson delegates by the
same method. On Saturday night, one
ward out BridgetOn's two wards, Cumber:
land county, elected Nixon delegates, and
Maurice River township, in the same
county, followed suit. Two sets of dele
gates, one for Robson and the other for
Nixon, were elected from Salem county.
This news did did not reach tho rank
and file of Camden county until the other
day. Camden city, the home of RobesOn,
was actually astOnisbed. His dwelling,
at Second and Penn streets, has been BE-
sieged by an army of " strikers and heel.
crs" Of which Camden possesses moro than
its share. The majority of these FOUNDERS
had been lulled into the belief that there
would be NO fight at ALL and that their
services would not be required, but when
they learned that Nixon had actually Sc
cured three delegations they came to the
conclusion that their votes in Camden
county were of considerable pecuniary
value. 1t is an open secret that Nixon is
backed by United States Senator Sewell,
partly on account of bitter feeling existing
between him and Robson, and partly be-
cause of the opposition to the present in-
cumbent by the Pennsylvania railiOad
company; Tho principal weapon used
against BobesOn is the violation of the
two-term precedent (rather powerful
weapon, by the way, as it has never been
violated before) and the lofty neglect
with which he treats his constituents.
Against Nixon the argument is brought
that he is opposed to the negro and that
