floors below. Upon this floor we also no.
tice water closet and bath rooms provided
with both hot and cold water,
Upon the fourth floor are eleven rooms,
but they call for no special mention.
For furnishing the second floor. e.
the first floor above the parlors-upwards
of six hundred yards of Brussels and hall
earpeting were purchased, and between
300 and 400 yards for the floor above, and
from that item alone an idea can be gain
ed as to how thoroughly the work of re-
furnishing has been done.
Such is the Lambertville House. Now
a word or two regarding its proprietor,
Mr.. j. X. Zeiger. He is known from one
end of the country to the other. Since 1868
he has been landlord of the Union. aud
his reputation as a Boniface is unsur-
passed. He is also identified with hotel
keeping elsewhere. He and his son, Geo.
w. Zeigler, conduct the "Gleuwood
House" at Water Gap it is Il summer
hotel, and as such is famed among Phila-
delphians and New Workers. who test its
hospitality each summer. No more popu-
lar house can be found at the Gap, and
Mr.. Zeigler, Jr. spares no effort to make
it more and more attractive by reason of
his suave, genial manner, and his thor
oughness of method.
The Lambertville House will be under
the immediate personal charge of Mr.. j.
X. Zeigler; the Office will be presided
over by l. l.. B9eman, a popular gentle
man, while Mrs. Zeigler will exercise the
painstaking care for which she is noted
in the house keeping department. In
brief, we can congratulate Lambertville
upon now having hotel of which every
citizen may feel proud.

Another of the old residents of Lam
bertyille, and gentleman long associ-
ated with its trade interests, is Mr.. j. F.
Boozer, the hardware merchant, whose
place Of business is at the corner of Union
and Coryell streets. Mr.. Boozer is ma
tive of Philadelphia, but his early life was
passed in Burlington, N. j., but this has
been his home since 1885. He comes from
good ancestry, too-the late ] Fennimore
Cooper, one of America s earliest and
greatest novelists was near relative of
his, and other members of the family have
achieved distinction in times past
Mr.. Boozer's experiences in active life
have all been mercantile. In 1888 he
first became connected with the trade of
Lambertville as clerk for Amasa Ely.
Subsequently he was with James Van
Horn, and since 1851 he has carried bust
ness upon his own account. We believe
there is but one older established mer-
camille house i'm the city--that of Carver
& Williams. Since 1856 Mr.. Boozer has
occupied the same location as now--the
premises having been built by John II An
derson. During all these years his trade
has been of the same general character.
The stock embraces all manner of shelf
and builders hardware, paints, oils and
glass also form an important department,
and agricultur implements, wooden
ware, and thousand other things assist
in making up complete stock-such a
stock rs is calculated to meet the wants
of a longest established trade.
Mr.. Boozer informs us that trade is
fairly active. He also says that prices
are somewhat lower than they were year
ago. He looks upon the prospects for
trade for the current year as being very
fair, and TIE RECoRD certainly hopes
his expectations will be realized.

AS we have before had occasion to re-
mark, Church street has become head
quarters for number of business inter
ests of one kind or another. Among
the business men Of that thoroughfare
whose names appear upon the pages OF
our note. book and in these "walks and
talks is that of Mr.. Pettee, the only one
who is exclusively engaged in plumbing,
gas and steam fitting in the city. Such
an establishment as his is most decidedly
sua generis. In the solesroom one sees
groups of articles peculiar to this trade,
and no amount of descriptive writing can
invest them with an air of beauty-on the
contrary, everything is matter-of- fact.
All the same, thoroughness of equipment
is noticeable, and that is the grand de-
sideratum, after all.
Mr.. Pettee, the proprietor, is native
of Middlesex county, this State. Lam
bertville has been his home since 1860, he
then coming from Bucks county, Pa. lie
has been connected with his present bust
ness for upwards Of twenty-five years,
beginning the trade with his father in.
law, II. M. Cooch, then of New Hope.
Eighteen years ago Mr.. Pettee began bust
ness for himself his first shop being on
Bridge street, between Carver IL Will
iams store aud the Union hotel. From
there he removed to the basement of the
Lambertville National Bank, and from
there to No. 90 Church street, eleven
years ago.
Mr.. Pettees trade is by no means wholly
local in its character. He is often called
upon to do work in Philadelphia, Bound
Brook, Belvidere, Pennington, Trenton,
Stockton, Frenchtown and elsewhere-he
has good trade in Bucks county, and
to this business he gives his personal at
tention. His sou Eugene, who may fairly
be said to have grown up in the business,
proves a valuable assistant, and a force
of competent workmen is always at the
command of the house.
One speciality of Mr.. Pettee's business
is the sale of force and suction pumps.
lie handles the Rumsey, the Union Rub
Der Bucket Pumps, the Cucumber as
well as other makes of porcelain and cop
per lined and brass and copper lined, and
each pump he sells he can thoroughly
guaratnee As practical workman he is
known far and wide he has maintained
low prces-even during the high priced
war times he did not materially advance
the scale as almost all other plumbers did,
and because he has been found skilled in.
his trade and honorable in his dealings
he has gained confidence and won to him
self prosperous business.

Pennington has been paying the Gas
Company $3.50 per year for twenty=four
street lights. Our new Board of Street
Commissioners thought the price excess
sive and at meeting held on Monday
night last decided to cut the gas off and
erect a lamp furnished by The Globe
Automatic Gas Light Company of New
York. These lamps costs $3.50 each,
and twenty-five OF them we're ordered and
will be here this week. They are caicu-
lated for burning naptha, which can be
bought for six cents per gallon. Each
lamp has capacity for gallon of naptha
and gallon of it will last week, 1T is
claimed, allowing the lights to burn all
night. A gas is generated from this
naptha, and in reality it is the gas and
not the naptha that burns. Should the
light prove to be as good and economical
as its friends claim it ill be, money will
be saved the town by their introduction.
