Net Looking for Any Financial Legislation

Net LOOKING Tor Amy FlnAEciaI LegisIation
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 9.-Ex-Governor
Dinghy says there Is now no hope Of any
financial legislation at this session of oon-
gress, ond that there will probably be no
other legislation than that involved in the
appropropriation bills. The failure of
the Mcpherson bill he says, was not due to
mismanagsmsnt so much as to the opposition
of men who pretended to be DESTROYS of some
remedial financial legislation. Had they
given the Mcpherson bill cordial support,
instead of trying to advance their own
schemes, it would have been passed.

The Salem Rink

We visited the Salem Rink on Wednes-
day afternoon to see how the modern sub
stitute for steel and ice compared with the
exhilarating sport of our earliest years. We
found the entire audience room known as
Rumsey Hall given up to the amusement.
A nice smooth floor of maple had been laid,
and around the room next the walls. were
rows of seats for the spectators. The rink
was deserted at our first entrance, but soon
a trio of misses came in, shortly followed
by others, until about a score of skaters
glided over the floor with more or less
grace and poetry of motion. Prof. Thorne,
who has charge of the rink, and is him
self a most graceful skater, informs us
that they had IS pairs of skates for hire,
and the whole number was very frequently
in use at one time and more called for.
The amusement seems popular with the
Salemites and deservedly so. Next We'd
nesday night there will be a game of polo
played at the rink by riders on the Ameri-
can Star Bicycle. using the small wheel of
the bicycle to strike the ball instead Of the
mallet.

generations an idea Of how we do things
nowadays. You can assist the society
by donations of any articles or papers OF
the nature above specified and also by be-
coming a number. The initiation fee is

Obituary.

Mrs. NJ. +. Willox, widow of Rev. John
Willox, and sister Of Amos A. Webster,
formerly Of Woodstown, died recently at
her home in Germantown. Pa.
Samuel Moore, one of Gloucester county
most respected and useful citizens. died at
his residence. near Harrisonville, on Satur-
day last, after a long battle with ty-
phoid fever. Mr.. Moore was in the prime
of life successful in his occupation-that
OF farming-and honored with the conf
dence and esteem of all who knew him.
He has for several years been a director of
the Woodstown Bank, and only last week
was reelected to that position. He served
his county two terms in the Legislature,
and was prominent i'll the local affairs of
South Harrison township. Such men are
sadly missed, and their places are hard to
fill.

We wish we could impress upon the
minds of our readers the Importance Of a
well conducted and supplied public library
such as the Pilesgroye aims to be. For
about twenty-five years this institution has
been the main dependence of our town for
miscellaneous reading matter, and it is
growing, weekly, in the esteem of the COM
munity. How it has accomplished so
much with the small income at its disposal
is a marvel. The membership fee, 5000, and
annual tax $1.00 are almost nominal when
the adv antages are considered, while the
permit system brings the books within
the reach of all. To those wishing to
spend a quiet hour with book or paper on
Saturday afternoon or evening the reading
room connected with the Library is an at
traction. Send in your name for member
ship. Apply to any of the Trustees for
membership or permits.

M New Streets,

Application was made to the Court of
Common Pleas at Salem on Tuesday for
the appointment of Surveyors of the
Highways to lay out the two proposed new
streets i'll Woodstown, viz: from East
Avenue to Elm Street, east of the rail
road. and from Wm. Z. Flitcraft's to the
depot grounds, over lands of Mrs. Hires
and Smith Bowen. By advice of the
Court the applications We're withdrawn
until the May term on account of a flaw in
the act concerning roads which casts a
doubt on the power of the court to appoint
surveyors except in cases where the road
applied for lies in three townships. The
old road law on this point was as follows:
''The said court \ X are hereby authorized
and required to appoint six Surveyors Of
tie Aighaeags Of the said county, erer hariag
regard to the appointment of the surveyors
of the highways of these townships where
the said road shall be laid out, vacated or
altered" In the revision of the laws pub
lished in 1877 the words which we have
italicised We're inadvertently omitted so
that the law as it stands seems to require
the appointment of six surveyors of the
township where the road is to be laid. As
each township has but two surveyors it
will be seen that the law cannot be COM
piled with, and it would seem to be a fair
inference that every road laid under the
statue since the revision of the laws,
except where it was laid in three town
ships, is without legal authority. An act
will be introduced in the Legislature this
winter to remedy this defect.

a Forged Note.

A forger has been getting in his work al
B~ridgeton. On Saturday a man calling
himself Samuel J. Hamilton. and claiming
to be an oysterman from Gedarville, pre-
scented a note to the Bridgeton Bank fol
discount. The face of the note was fol
81, $50, and bore the endorsement of r.
Robbins, of Philadelphia, and Capt. S.
Peace, of Port Norris, both of whom are
responsible men. Hamilton told a very
plausible story to the bank officials, who,
after making the usual inquiries, cashed
the note. 1t was afterward ascertained
that the maker of the note did not live at
Cedarville, and that no such person had
ever lived there. The alleged endorsers
were telegraphed to and denied all knowl-
edge Of such a note. There is no clue as
to the whereabouts Of Hamilton.-South
