Jersey Farmers VS.. Tramps.

During the cranberry picking sea-
son about two hundred tramps, men,
women and children, have been living
in the vicinity of Magnolia, two miles
south of Pemberton, where they
earned a good living picking berries.
Since the berry season closed last week
most OF the tranps left the place, but
about twenty-five men and women
remained on the boys owned by Mr..
George Reilly and took possession of
'sall they could survey" and COM
mitted all sorts Of depredations.
Fences were torn down and the rails
used for firewood. Chicken roosts
were raided, and in one Oh two
instances not a fowl was left. The
fields were visited and potatoes dug
by the bushel. The farmers in the
neighborhood ordered the tramps to
leave the place, but they refused.
Yesterday, however, a posse of men,
headed by j. G. Sweet, armed with
shotguns and rifles, started for their
camp to GUST them, but in some way
they heard of the farmers approach
and left in a hurry, leaving their
booty behind them. No further
trouble is anticipated.

south jersey Republicans.

The Cape May County Republican
Convention will be held on Saturday.
The candidates who will probably
be chosen by the Convention are:
Hon. Eugene Cole, of Upper Town
ship, for Assembly; Jonathan Hand,
of Middle Township, for County Clerk;
Robert Hand, of Lower Township, for
Sheriff.
The Salem Republican County Con
vention was held yesterday. Ex-Sena-
tor Charles s.. Plummer, of FREDERICK
town, was chairman of the Conven-
ton, and J. Forman Sinnickson, of
Lower Penn's Neck, secretary. Charles
d. Coles was renominated for County
Clerk, eX-Congressman S%innickson
presenting his name in a stirring
speech. Seventy-eight votes were
cast, Collins Allen, of Warrington, re-
ceiving ten of the number. John G.
Ward, the present representative, was
nominated for the Assembly, and ac-
cepted the nomination in a short
speech. The resolutions reaifirm the
State platform and demand local OPP
ton as the right of the people to be
heard IN the liquor question.
Rebuked by the Chief Justice.
The case of Parent VS.. Parent was
tried yesterday at. the Mercer County
Court. 1t was brought by a young
able-bodied son, Thomas Parent,
against an aged sick mother, Sarah
Parent, who evoked the sympathy
of the attendants at court by her fee
BILE condition. The suit was founded
on a written agreement produced
by the son, in which it was stated
that the mother received ten dol
lars rent from the son for GER
tain premises at White Horse, s'pro-
viding he buys it for 81, $780," The son
took the stand, but admitted that he
had not been damaged specially by
the alleged breach. When the mother
was called for the defense Chief JUS
tice Beasley summarily dismissed the
proceedings. He said it being a ease
brought by a 0 against a sick
mother, he would require the strictest
proof, and as the son admitted that he
had lost nothing by the breach he
would order a non-suit, as he did not
think the time of the court and jury
should be taken by such cases.
