In the trial of Cadet E. p. Bentholf Naval

lntimidated me, but expect it did.
Naval Cadet G. W. Galloway, OF the
fourth class, testified: The accused never

He Was Not Intimidated.
The order was not given in peremp.ory

The following from the NeWtoWn
Enterprise, will be read with interest by
many in this vicinity who claim to be
"heirs " to the Jennens estate:
THE JENNENs HEIRS For ten or
dozen years we have heard of the Jennens
estate, of the hopeful heirs in this coun-
try, many of whom reside in Bucks
county, of the association whose head
quarters are in Trenton, and of the funds
contributed to pay certain Samuel Cook
to go to England and investigate. Cook
always returned with hopeful story, and
always wanted more money. Some three
or four years ago we warned the supposed
heirs of the uncertainty of their case, but
it had no apparent effect In the Phiadel-
phia Times of Saturday last we find the
following item. Win this open the eyes
of the duped ones?
Some days ago Samuel Cook, who
has made several such excursions, return
ed from England, where he has been en-
gagged in working up the claims of the
Jennens heirs, whose association meets in
Camden. The money at stake aggregates
about $12,000,000 and the American
claimants have had their hopes raised to
the highest pitch by the roseate reports
of Mr.. Cook on the manner in which he
narrowed down the legal points and the
facts which he had gathered to establish
their rights. These hopes, it appears
now, are not to be realized. A large
number of letters have just been received
by members of the association from Eng
lish claimants, in which it is stated that
Mr.. Cook had never visited them to in
guire into their claim, and that there was
no possible legal grounds for the Ameri-
can fam by and its branches to secure the
estate

G. ". MASON.

While walking and talking in the
neighboring village of Stockton, we had
occasion to call upon Mr.. Mason. We
found him engaged in anything but mer-
camille pursuits, on the contrary he was
trying his level best TO build coal shed
upon an aesthetic plan Our call was an
excuse for his taking rest, so right
pleasant though necessarily brief visit
was the result.
MIR. Mason, by the way, is at the head
of dry goods and general merchandise
| establishment which in point of stock
| carried and extent of trade done, will not
compare unfavorably with any in the
county. And though he did not become
n merchant until reaching middle age, he
has now had twenty eight years expert
ence-a longer experience than that of
most of his fellow merchants. lie is a
native of Kingwood township, this coun-
ty, and until forty years of age, was
farmer In '55 he began mercantile life at
Kngwood, buying out the store of Chas.
Tomlinson, who had just been elected
County Clerk. Remaining at Kingwood
four years. Mr.. Mason then removed to
Trenton, where he carried on the grocery
trade for one year. Then came one year
of retirement from business, after which
he located at Baptisttown as merchant
for four years. From there he removed
to Sergeantsville, remaining two years,
after which he carried on business at the
old Headquarters y store until locating
here in 1869. For eight years his son, j.
Il. Mason, NOW a business man of Kansas
City, Mo-, was in partnership with him,
but since the dissolution of that firm Mr.
Mason has remained alone. In the store
he is assisted by bis grandson, Frank
Elmer Robertson, and these two attend to
the business-a business that draws pa
irons from all this section.
Referring to his trade last year Mr.
Mason said that it was decidedly better
than for the year before, and he reports
business as having been quite satisfactory
thus far this year. This much may be
said, in all fairness, of the house. 1t is
! one OF the most extensive general mer-
chandise stores in this part of the county;
it stands we'll with the people it has been
proven to be reliable, and its record, as is
the business career of its proprietor,
wholly to its credit.

Some weeks ago a survey was made
from Pennington junction to Pennington
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co. with a
view of building o spur from the junction
to this place. A meeting Of the officers
of the road and the land owners along the
proposed route was held on Monday last,
to determine the cost of the right of way,
NC. The railroad company gave an es-
innate of the cost of building the road
and if the land owners are sufficiently in
terested to sell the right of way at rea-
sonable figure no doubt the road will be
extended to bennington. - Huaterdon

A SWinile.

A Swindie.
The so-caled q Industries of New Jer-
sey, which the agent delivered to sub
scribers in this vicinity last week, is an
unmitigated swindle. While protesting
to be general description of the business
industries of the State, it contains only
references to those persons who were
willing to subscribe for the book, thus
rendering it practically useless as work
of reference, as numbers of large and inn
portant industries are omitted, and their
places filled by notices of small stores
and other businesses that do not come
at ALL properly, under the head of :" In
dustries." Besides, the work was to
have been delivered year ago, and many
had forgotten all about it when the de-
livering agent turned up with his little
pamphlets last week.

We understand that Messrs lIolcomb
u Niece of the Upper Mills and F. F.
Lear of Lear's Mills, have purchased a
complete outfit of Roller machinery for
manufacturing flour by what is known as
the "Roller Process, now in general use
by the western mills. The flour produced
by this process is said to be far superior
to that made by millstones, as the grain
is crushed between the rolls just enough
to separate the -four from the bran, and
is not subjected to excessive grinding and
heating as is the case with millstones.
Those who have used western roller-made
flour will welcome this improvement in
milling in Lambertville.
The machinery will be placed in Mr..
Lears Mills, as they are large and afford
ample room for it. The customers of
both mills will be served with roller flour,
when the work is completed, which will
be early in September.

The walker and talker' of THE
RECORD, while at Stockton the other day,
acquainted himself somewhat with the
mercantile and manufacturing interests of
our pleasant neighboring village, and here
follows what he finds to say relative to
different men and different enterprises
First upon our note book appears tho
name of
S. g. HILL,
the postmaster of the village, as well as
one of its leading merchants. Mr..
Hills business is queer compound of
two quite dissimilar lines OF trade hard
ware and drugs. The combination, in
this instance at least, is a good one, and
will call for further mention.
Mr.. Hill is native of Bucks Co., Pa,
but a goodly portion of his life has been
passed in this county. Early in life he
learned the blacksmith's trade--a trade
that he followed for long time, and,
Judging from his apparently strong phys
ique, it was an occupation that agreed
with him. He has been identified with
the hardware trade of Hunterdon county
for the past eighteen or twenty years.
For nearly half of this timo he was located
at Pennington, and was in partnership
with ]. p. Bodine, now the leading
hardware merchant of that place. Ten
years ago Mr.. Hill came to Stockton and
established business here, for the first
fifteen months the firm being Hill &
Nevius (Mr. p. 7. b. Nevius being a
partner) but since the dissolution of that
firm he has been alone. He used to carry
stoves in stock, and manufactured more
or less of tinware also, but of late years
the two special lines of trade have been
as now-Of course supplemented by such
material as paints, oils, glass, lampware
and great many other minor specialties
Our readers generally know something
as to the extent of stock carried by Mr..
Hill and the character of trade done, so
we need not say much upon that score.
His is the only store in the village that
is a representative of the drug and hard
ware lines of trade, and we doubt not it
would puzzle Mr.. Hill himself to say
which of these departments takes prece-
dence. To the business he gives his per-
sonal attention, and he finds valued and
valuable assistant in the person of Mr..
M. c. Holmes, lately of Trenton, grad
uate of the Philadelphia College of Phar-
macy. 1t is needless to add that the
prescription department of the business is
in the charge of the last named gentle
man.
Mr.. Hill says the business outlook, so
far as his own trade is concerned, is fair.
He knows that he controls trade of
large proportions, and THE RECORD is
glad that such is the case.
