THE HYDRAULIC CANAL.

Attorney Richards reported that he had inves-
tgated the subject of the hydraulic canal as
carefully as he could; had gone through the re-
cords, etc, and had come to the conclusion that
the county had failed TO acquire any right to the
water in question, and therefore they had moth
ing to grant the city in that respect.
Mr.. DOoly then moved that the offer of the
Hydraulic company to purchase back the deed to
the one-siXth of the Jordan waters. be accepted
by the city.
Some little unimportant discussion followed,
when the motion was adopted.
The council then adjourned until Thursday,
January 3, 1890, at : p. m.

New Set of swindlers.

A gang of swindlers who call them
selves representatives of the Farmers,
and Grangers' Wholesale Supply Com
pany," have been victimizing farmers in
Sussex, Warren and Hunterdon coun-
ties, by selling them large lots OF
groceries at high prices and prom
ising to send them barrel OF
sugar at 7 cents a pound. The gro
ceries are delivered and the bills pre-
sented and collected, but the barrel of
sugar is delayed" and is never sent.
They also advise the farmers to hold
their butter until January, when the
company will purchase it at 40 cents a
pound. The gang has just spent sew
eral weeks in the neighborhood of Bel
videre, Washington and Hackettstown,
and their victims are numerous.

Farmers in this neighborhood are al
ready booking dates for vendues next
spring. There promises to be a large
number of vendues in this county next
spring. Speaking of vendues reminds
US OF what we have for some time past
intended to call attention to, as it goes
to show the wisdom of some of the
people hereabouts if not elsewhere
The idea of public sale, as we under
stand it, is to keep the matter as oiueE
as possible, and, therefore, the less it
is advertised the fewer will be apt to
know of it and tax the vendue maker
with their presence.
1t may be well to have a few small
bills printed or written, if there is naaeh
to sell, but good and economical PLAN
would be to avoid that expense and
trouble by giving out notice among
the neighbors. This would doubtless
bring together all you would want to
see, particularly if they should come
before dinner. If you should take the
extravagant plan and get bills printed,
be sure to put them where, if they do
get up for day or so, they won't stay
up longer. They are nice for the shop
keeper TO wrap up segars and soap
in-leave all you can with each one
you visit.
By all means, if you want to hold. a
quiet sale, steer clear of newspapers.
They get read, at least some of them
do, and the people will be sure to find
you out, and may come in droves and
run the prices of your goods up away
beyond their value-which might make,
you sick. We have in our mind sale
of the quiet, speak-easy order, which
was held not many miles away where
buyers had ''picnic,n and all because
the sale was improperly advertised.
Some goods sold at one-tenth their
value. Therefore, if you are contem-
plating holding sale, keep it quiet,
and the best way to do this is to keep
it out of the county papers, or any
other paper that sprinted near where
the sale is to be held.

Pay Attention to ISs.

The negligence of some parents in
sending their children to school is
really surprising. They are certainly
aware that they are raising their chill
dren to be outcasts from society and
unfit to provide for themselves. Tken
why do them this terrible injustice? Is
it not the earnest desire of every father
and mother to have their children
grow up an honor to them? Yet they.
allow them to run the streets ana grow
up in ignorance, while they know that
proper training has much to do with
making them honorable men and
women. Says writer: Education is

although we plead in advance that we
haven't the space to print nor the
inclination to mix with our news mat
ter couple of columns of advertise

particular and peculiar greatness as a

ing public quite able to pay its own
way. and with too much self-respect to
do otherwise.

Lost the Case.

The Supreme Court recently made
a decision of much interest to glass.
blowers. 1t was in the case of Shaw
VS.. the Woodbury. Glass Works. Shaw
alleged that the Woodbury. Glass Works
employed him in the factory and after
the blast was in for some time left him
without work in violation Of the con-
tract; that in consequence he was un-
able to secure steady employment for
the time of the blast and thus lost
money, to recover which he brought
suit. The case was tried in the Cumber
land County Court and Shaw won, the
jury granting him damages. The com,
pany carried the case to the Supreme
Court, which has set aside the verdict
OF the lower Court and granted new
trial.

AT the meeting of the Mercer Country

not paid the cost of working them, and
farm labor was scarce and high nriooa

THE Law DEFIED.
Farmers Putting Traps in tKse
WsSskc2-


The law against trapping rabbits is
quite severe, and many Cumberland
county men have suffered the full ex-
tent of the law for this crime againsS
the State. Some claim there is no jus-
tlce in the law, but at the same time.
while it is on the statute books, it's
violation will cause the guilt, one con-
( siderable trouble. Gunner from this
city, say it is almost impossible to gum
anywhere nearby, for the 'no-trespasse
sign is up in every piece of woods, anf2
the watchful farmer is ever ready and
no sooner is the huntsman's foot upon
the soil of the farmer, than he is or
dered off.
A local gunner complains that those
most opposed to trespassing, are the
very men who are violating the law,
and Intimate that if they did not have
traps set all over their premises. there
would not be an order for every gun
ner to move off. The gunner referred
to says he counted no less than eleven
traps during his short journey through
the woods, and six of them belonged
to one man. This gunner SAYS that il
he is permitted to gun on the land of
these farmers, he will make sure that
the agents and counsel of the West
jersey Game Society will have business
in this locality.

The Legislature of 1890.

Col. William s. Heppenheimer, who
is to be the speaker of the Democratic
House of Assembly, has been talking to
the newspapers of the Legislature as
follows: ''There will be no partisan
legislation during the coming session
of the Legislature. The fact that the
House is Democratic and the Senate
Republican would necessarily prevent
it. Neither party will attempt any.
The session could be made turbulent
one by the introduction of partisan
bills and skirmishing on them, but
there is no disposition to do it. The
session will, therefore, be short one,
and both branches will settle down to
the transaction of business of impor-
tance. There will be large number
of bills introduced in the way of cor
recting some municipal abuses and
legislating directly for the people.
Ballot reform will be one of the issues
that will be very generally discussed.
Labor legislation will receive some
attention"

Abbett's Inauguration.

The plans for the Inauguration OF
Leon Albeit as governor are nearly
all perfected. The Democrats of Hud.
son County will have charge of the ar
rangements. 1t is the intention of the
Democrats of Hudson to send to Tren-
ton the largest delegation that ever
marched on the streets of that city.
There will be 800 of the Hudson unter-
rified in line, headed by band and
drum corps. Governor Albeit will
ride in coach drawn by ten horses
gaily caparisoned with trappings which
will be fac SMILES of the Hudson Dem
ocratic banner. There will be big
banquet and the overflow will sit
down at number of smaller banquets.
A dance is also talked of, but nothing
definite is known about it. F. G. VOL
bert is chairman of the Executive Com
mittee to arrange the details.
A committee of the Philadelphia
Democratic clubs, who are desirous of
attending, are expected to meet the
Hudson County Committee in few
days and hold a conference. They
want some slight changes made in the
schedule of events because the Demo
cratic primaries occur in Philadelphia
on the same date and many of them
are needed for work at the polls. The
outlook now is that the Philadelphia
clubs will only spend part of the day
there.

COLLECTING ORGANS.
THE SHERIFF CREATES SOME
EXCITEMENT.
Collecting Organs for F. A. North
Il Co.. OF Philadelphia Not
PAID tor.

Sheriff Shaw Friday took several
writs of replevin, and served them on
persons possessing organs purchased
of F. A. North, & Co., of Philadelphia,
on the instalment plan, and which the
firm claim, have not been paid for.
The Sheriff had some little trouble in
serving all the writs, but the greatest
excitement was caused at the residence
of Samuel James, who lives on East
Commerce street, just West of Co.
hansey.
Mr.. James says that six years ago he
purchased an organ of the firm,
through their agent, Jere. H. Frazer,
and it was guaranteed for six years.
Mr.. James had an old organ, which he
traded, and claims that Mr.. Frazer
acknowledged an Indebtedness for the
same of $500. Mr.. James claims that
he was to have $1,000. After time
the organ got out of repair, and Fra
zer, it is claimed, refused to repair it.,
and it was not used for a year. Mr..
James took the instrument to B. F..
Horner, and it was repaired at a cost
of $12, and Mr.. James claimed the
company he purchased the organ Of,
should be responsible. Mr.. James
says he owes the company So and the
company owes him $17.
The Sheriff and an agent of the com.
pany visited the house Friday in the
morning. Mrs. James was at home
and she wanting her husband to know
of the errand, locked the gentlemen in
and went after him. He came and en-
deavored to persuade the Sheriff to al
low the organ to remain, until he
could see attorney.
The Sheriff not feeling altogether
satisfied as to his authority, left the
house, and in the afternoon returned.
He could not gain an admittance, and
his deputy broke open the door with a
hatchet. After sharp talking with
the ladies of the house, the organ was
finally removed.
Mr.. James had but one alternative.
He could get back the organ by get
ting out writ of replevin, but then
the title of the ownership would nec-
essarily have to be settled without
his being permitted to show his claim
against the company. Some time
since Mr.. James was sued before
Squire Riley for the organ, but the
prosecutors never appeared. The
Sheriff determined to settle the ques-
ton of authority, and warrant was
sworn out for Mr.. James for resisting
him, but next morning it was with
drawn, Mr.. James putting a plain
statement before the Sheriff as to his
understanding in the matter. Mr..
James says he will make no effort to
again get possession of the organ.

SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION.
A Branch Organized in This City
Friday Night.

A meeting was held in the Office of
F. M. Porch, Esq, Friday night to estab-
lish branch of the Southern Building
and Loan Association, of Knoxville,
Tenn.
Mr.. Porch has accepted the agency
of the home office at Knoxville, and he
explained somewhat the business of
the concern. A Mr.. Gaffney, of Phila-
delphia, general agent of the Asso-
citation, was present, and he also de-
tailed the operations of the home office
and the object of the branches. He
claims that it is National Associa-
tion," with power to establish branch
associations in all parts of the country;
the officers of the present Association
are President, Secretary, Treasurer,
Attorney and Board of five directors;
each local branch has the same cor
responding local officers.
The general business is similar to
that of all Building and Loan Associa-
tions, with the exception that stock is
purchased at $1.00 per share for the
first payment, and monthly pay
ment thereafter of go cents per share.
The par or matured value of the stock
is 5000. per share.
All the money paid in at the local
Associations is transmitted to the
home office at Knoxville, where it is
loaned to stockholders. The presump-
tion is also that local stockholders may
become borrowers, though the money
has to be sent to Knoxville before the
ocal board can loan it.
The officers electedF Friday night were:
President, Jacob Kienzle; Secretary,
F. r. Fithian; Treasurer, Samuel P.
Fithian; Attorney, F. M. Porch; Board
of Directors, G. r. Corey, Geo. w. Ire
land, Charles E. Laning, S. B. Cole
and s. A. Laning. About two hun
dred shares of stock was subscribed
for Friday night. The regular meeting
night will be the last Saturday night in
the month, but dues can be paid to
the Secretary at any time during the
month.
Judging from its last annual state
ment, of the Association is still in its
infancy, as the transactions have only
reached few thousand dollars, and
there are loans due to borrowers
amounting to $4,000, for the payment
of which there was not yet sufficient
money in funds.
The regulations and bylaws of the
parent Association governs the Local
Associations. The local officers serve
gratuitously, and they have no author
ity to pay any expenses for room rent,
gas, fuel, stationery, &c,

Farmers Institute.

The Farmers Institute, which is to
be held in this city in December, will
be highly interesting event to all en-
gagged or interested in agricultural pur-
suits. w. O. Garrison, one of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the County
Board of Agriculture, is laboring hard
for the success of the Institute. He
has corresponded with many, and there
will be present a large number of gen
tlemen who are particularly well quail
one in view. The farmers of the county
seem to be deeply interested in the
matter.
