FROM SIOChTON.
STOCKTON, N. j., Jan. 10, 1889.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Richard Bowden, of
Prallsville, intend moving to Massachu-

during the Fall and Winter.
The stone qaarries of this place have
more work than they ever have had at

Theodore Reed, an old gentleman liv-

store aca was returning home. He was
walking on he track aud facing the train

thirty one years ago we had Winter as
mild as this has been. He says there
was no very cold weather until near the
middleof February, when it was very
cold for about ten days, but it was follow

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
The Essex Members Demand the Settl

SNTTTP-

The Democrats of the Legislature
held joint caucus yesterday. The OBJ
ject was to come to some definite con.
clusion in regard to the United States
Senatorship. The result was that the
Democrats came out of the caucus more
at sea than ever, and with the whole mat

is the eve of the battle. The balloting will
commence on Tuesday, and if there is O
break on Monday night, there will be
confusion worse confounded in the
Democratic ranks.
The discord and bad feeling in the
caucus was created by Schmelz, Wieden,
mayer and other Essex members. These
gentlemen demanded to know what the
party proposed to do with the local
option bill. The measure introduced
by Mr.. O'Neill, they said, had been re.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM.

The main features of the ballot reform
bill to be presented to the Legislature by
Assemblyman Kane, asking for the adop.
ton of what is known as the Australian
system of secret ballotipg at all elections,
are as follows:
The printing and distribution of ballots
at public expense. Complete secrecy in
casting the ballot. Regulation OF the
methods of choosing candidates. Defining
bribery. Defining undue influence. Lin.
ting the amount to be expend ed by can
didates, the amount varying according to
the importance of the Office sought, and
compelling report, under oath, of such
expenditures.
The first feature, the printing and dis
tribution of the ballots, while it means
additional expenses, is essential to the
secrecy of the ballot, because a party
worker, holding ballots, can, in a mai orr
ty Of cases, for pecuniary consideration,
prevail upon the average voter to accept
his ticket and deposit it without further
ado.
The second feature of the system pro
vides for the casting of the ballot in alb.
solute secrecy. To render this certain a
room is provided 10 each voting precinct
large enough to admit of the voters en-
tering and preparing their ballots.
The choosing of the candidates is left
as at present. The fourth clause, def.
ming bribery, is already recognized in the
election laws, and the fifth section, def
ming undue Influence, is covered by the
law under the head OF intimidation. The
proposed new law, however, strengthens
all these points.
The sixth clause, limiting the amount
that candidate may expend during a
campaign, is intended to destroy the ad
vantages rich candidate may have over
one in moderate circumstances.

Obituary.

Obituary.
Rev. N. Summerbell, a prominent
clergyman of the Christian church, died
suddenly at Yellow Springs, Ohio, on
Friday of week before last, aged about
70 years. Mr.. Summerbell was the
father Of Rev. J. J. Summerbell, Of Mil
ford. We believe that he was the first
pastor of the Christian church at French
town, and he was well known by many
people in this section of country. He
was one of the ablest preachers in the
denomination, as well as an author of
considerable note.
Hugh R. Major, who removed from
near Erwinna, Pa, to Philadelphia a
few years ago, died suddenly at his
residence in that city on Thursday of
