WEST END, LoNo BRANCH,


May 10, 1882
MIR. EpIToR:-To day is one of the
most terribly stormy and windy days that
has been known here for some time. The
wind has been blowing perfect gale for
the past 90 hours with any quantity of
rain. The streets are flooded and the
ocean is grand and awful to look upon, as
one sees the mighty pillows rolling in
against the bulkheads and the water
flying sometimes 90 feet high and the
white foam blown clear over the banks
back of the beach. But enough of this.
suppose this place contains at present
about 200 carpenters who do not live here
permanently but have come upon the spur
of the moment, to assist in building the
hotels and cottages that are required to
be ready by the first of July or sooner.
The demand for mechanics is rather on
the increase, and wages are all the way
from 1895 per day up to $3.50 per day.

The permanent population of Long
Branch is about 5000 people. The town
is in several "pieces." will give an
outline view of the place. First, the old
village of Long Branch perhaps so years
old is about two miles from the beach
and contains the only bank of the place,
and the post office is known by the name
of Long Branch. We have East Long
Branch, right on the bank Of the ocean,
and post office of the same name. We
have the West End p. o. also. Below
Green's Pond We have the village Of
Elboron and post Office and depot by
that name. There is also North Long
every cottage does not have one.
With all the offices and mail facilities, a
person can jump on the cars here and go

it will take q letter "a hours to 20 the

Why not bring people home for the same

Publishing the County Finances.
For four years past, the Board of Free
holders have ordered the County Finances
published in the two Democratic and the
two Republican papers Of this county.
This was an equitable division. IL de-
parted from at all, it should have been
published in two party papers and in two
non.partizan papers. But last week, the
Board in its wisdom took it from THE
LAMBERTyrLLE RECORD and gave it to
the Lambertville beacon. Now, we do
not so much object to the giving of it to
another paper, as to the manner of doing
it. A majority of the Democratic men,
bers gave assurances that there would be
no change in the papers publishing it,
and shortly after, Democratic caucus
was held when the question was brought
up and in it, it was decided to give it to
The Beacon. Afterward, some of these
same Democrats apologized for their
change of front by saying that they " had
to abide by the decision of caucus" But
if all had stood by their promises, when
voting in caucus, there couldn't have been
any such decision in caucus. We are
told that the men engineering for the
Beacon, claimed to control some free
holders votes on the county dictatorship,
which were to be given to Beldon, pro-
vided the Beldonites voted for the Beacon.
In addition to this, the earnest Democracy
of the publisher of the BeIcon was set
off against the sinfulness of the RECORD
editors Republicanism, and the gross in
justice of giving the RECORD man slice
of county printing while he was rolling in
the wealth accumulated from a govern
ment post office was dilated upon It is
gratifying to know that there are people
so we'll posted as to ones business. When
such arguments were presented, backed
by such influential Democratic citizens as
Mr.. Oscar Wilde, the Lambertyille
Adonis, and George III, King of the
Canal, Heavy Weight, and manipulation of
cast-iron cannon, failure was impossible.
We congratulate brother Hazen upon his
success.

Board of Freeholiiers.
The old Board of Freeholders of Hun
terdon County held their final meeting
last Tuesday. No report of the financial
condition of the county was presented, on
account of the finance committee not be-
ing in readiness. 1t was not thought
however, that more than Sc, 900 would be
left in the county treasury from the year S
appropriation of SOS, 900, as some bills
had to be paid from that appropriation
contracted for by the Board of 1880.
The new Board met in the Court House
at II O'Clock Wednesday morning. After
subscribing to the oath the Board ad-
journed till after dinner.
At 2 O'Clock permanent organization
was effected Mr.. E. r. Robinson, Di-
rector of the old Board, was nom mated
and elected without opposition. Mr..
Robinson thanked the Board for the
honor shown him.
The Clerk of the old Board, Mr.. VIM.
d. Bloom, was also renom mated and
elected without opposition, and his salary
increased from $50 to $175 per year.
For Counsel of the Board, Mr.. Samuel
E. Perry, Esq, was elected without oppo.
sition.
The next business was the fixing Of a
sal larry for the County Collector. The
sum of 5000 was agreed upon, and ex-
Sheriff H. G. Beldon was elected Collector.
1t was voted to raise $40, 900 the present
year for county expenses, which sum was

A .Triehtful Tumble.

What might have turned out to be g.
tragical event was fortunately averted by
what may be called almost miracle on
Wednesday night. It will be remembered
the night was dark and dismal, and the
blasts went wailing by, with only an &C.
casional flash of lightning to guide the
wanderer on his way. It was under such
circumstances that bold and Git is un-
necessary to say reckless driver of one Of
the city hacks undertook to MAKE q
short cut down town from the residence Of
Hon. Geo. L. Otis, on Summit avenue,
with two occupants inside who had
been present at the reception given
that evening at the residence ofIMr. Otis on
the occasion of the marriage of his eldest
daughter. The driver did not know where
he was going, and the result was that
horses, hack, driver and occupants of the
carriage rolled over bluff for distance
of forty feet. The most miraculous part
of the accident is that the carriage was
the only one of the lot that came to grief.
That was total wreck, but its occupants
escaped without injury beyond fearful
shaking up.

Fishers Fix.

G. D. Fisher, the young blood from Far
go who got into a scrape with another
young blood in the corridor of the Opera
house Wednesday evening, for which he
paid ten bills in the municipal court, is
again in trouble. This time his trouble is
of far more serious character than a
drunk and a knock down. Fisher,
it appears, has been 'time in Californy''
with the b'hoys for several days, and very
naturally he ran short of money. To re-
plenish his exchequer, he borrowed of sew
eral of his acquaintance sums ranging
from $25 to $40, giving his check in con-
sideration. Yesterday it was nscertaincd
the checks were worthless, andin the after
noon the gay and festive "bum" was taken
into custody by Detective Bresette and
this morning he will have chance to ex-
plain before Judge Burr.

Mr.. Clark Goes on a Scrimmage Tour and
Tries to Eat a Fellows Fist.
Yesterday afternoon two young fellows,
one named o. R. Clark, the other w. E.
Covey, made spectacle of themselves at
the union depot. The first named gen.
tleman belongs in st. Paul, but
the latter claims to come from
Connecticut. They first came
before the public yesterday at the union
depot dining room, where they had dinner.
AS they left the dining room Clark told
the man at the door, in a very insulting
way, that the wine was rotten. The gen.
tleman in charge kept cool, and retaining
his wrath, left it for some one else to polish
off Mr. Clark. When the brace of roister-
ers went down stairs they proceed
ed to the cigar stand and
Clark, who seems to have been doing the
handsome thing by his friend from Con-
necticut, bought half dollars worth of
cigars, but not having money enough to
pay for them went out and borrowed the
money and returning paid for them, but
not till he had insulted the young fellow
who was tending the cigar stand, and
finally from abuse he proceeded to blows
and struck the clerk across the cigar
case. Just at this moment Detective
O'Connor happened to pass through, and
arrested Mr.. Clark and his friend Covey,
and the two were then taken to the munic-
ipal court, where they were fined $40 each.
After leaving the municipal court they
went straight down to the depot, and were
looking for the young fellow who was tend
ing the cigar stand, and on not
finding him there Clark went
across to Sibley street to the Northern Pa
cifc ticket Office, where the cigar stand boy
had gone, and finding him called him out
on the sidewalk. As soon as the two
reached the sidewalk they came to blows,
and Clark received two singing clips, one
on the nose and one on the mouth, which
took all the fight out of him in an instant,
and set the blood flowing freely. A crowd
gathered in a moment, and it
looked like primary in the First ward.
The two were separated without difficulty.
as Mr.. Clark did not want to fight half as
much after he got these two blows as he
did when he followed the cigar stand boy
over to the ticket Office. Officers Lowell
and Keneally took the two men up to the
city hall. The conclusion will be found in
the municipal court this morning.
