Mays Landing, NJ. The issue is an
eiectment suit between the Camden and
Atlantic Land Company and Edwin Lip
pincott. The latter owns the Haddon
House, the ground on which il stands
having been purchased from the Camden
and Atlantic Land Company in 1856.
The property reached to the ocean at
storm-tide. Since 1856 the ocean has
receded over three hundred feet, and now
the Land Company is seeking to obtain
possession of the line of storm-tide when
the sale WAS effected and the present line
of storm-tide. The trial was begun in
1880, but frequent adjournments,- from
one cause or another, have delayed it
until now. The case was opened on
Tuesday last by Hon. Abraham Brown
ing, of Camden; CORTLAND Parker, of
Newark and Barker Gummere, of Tren-
ton, on behalf of the Land Company.
The defense is represented by equally
well-known local celebrities, including
Peter L. voorhees, and Samuel II. Gray,
of Camden; Frederick Voorhees,, Of
Mount Holly, and Joseph Thompson, Of
Atlantic City. 1t is thought that the
case will occupy several days before it is
completed. If the Land Camrany wins
it will institute similar suits for the re-
covery of all the made-land along the
beach.

THE ANTI-BRIBERY cONvE NTIoN

Representative citizens of Burlington
county in goodly numbers made their an.
pearance at the Court House on Saturday
afternoon to take some action, by request
/ OF published CALL against the growing
evil of bribery at elections.
The meeting was called to order b;
Hon. j. Howard Pugh of Burlington. who
briefly stated the objects OF the meeting
and nominated Garrit s. Cannon. ESQ
of Bordentown as Chairman. Mr.. Can
non was chosen unanimously and in ac-
cepting the position thanked the Conyen-
tion for the honor oonferredIalluding brief.
ly with well chosen words TO the work
before the meeting.
Franklin w. Earl oil Pemberton and
Judge William Parry of Cinnaminson
were elected Vice Presidents and Joseph
ii. GaskilI Esq, of Northampton, Secre-
tary. The call was then read by the Sec.
rectary, emitting the signatures thereto.
John c. TerEyck, Esq Of Northamp-
ton, leading spirit in The movement, pre-
sented the following resolutions
WHEREAS, Bribery is a dangerous and
growing evil; and whereas agreements be-
tween party leaders to abstain from the un
lawful use Of money at elections and occa-
sional prosecution Of offenders singled ont
for that purpose have failed to restrain
that evil; and whereas observation and
experience demonstrate the propriety Of
united and continued effort to hold this
evil in check, therefore be it
Res0tred, That we, citizens Of Burling-
ton county, n. j., in convention assem-
bied do form ourselves into permanent
organization, 10 the end that better pub
lie sentiment may be created throughout
the county, the enforcement of existing
laws upon the subject Of bribery secured,
and such additional legislation procured
as may be found necessary,
Resolved, That in pursuance Of the fore
going committee of seven be appointed
by the President of this meeting to draft
aud report constitution and bylaws for
said permanent organization.
Hon. c. Il. Hendrickson moved that
they be adopted as read. Carried.
The Committee of Seven was then
named as follows:
j. G. TenEyck, Northampton.
J. Howard Pugh, Burlington.
Mahlon Hutchinson, Bordentown.
Charles Stokes, Rancoeas.
Chas. Z. Henirickson, Northampton.
I. Newbold Black, Springfield.
Clayton Lippincolt, Chester.
The Committee then retired TO perform
the duties charged to it.
Judge Parry called for Mark r. Sooy,
Esq, TO express his views upon the sub
.iect of bribery for the benefit of the Con-
vention. Mr.. Sooy said he heartily sup
ported the movement but instead OF
tall" practical, concerted, non-partisan
action was needed to effect the end de-
sired, !. 9. to enforce the present laws and
secure such further legislation as may be
desired.

handle and was dropped in the kitchen
