In the Third Assembly district Of Pas
sale county, where MI. John F. Kerr and
Mr.. Wellington Swift have each secured
fourteen delegates, there is q peculiar
condition of affairs. The two tickets run
in Little Falls township both contained
the names of Benjamin Burkhart, and
the lawyers friends claim that Mr.. Burk-
hart is pledged to support Mr. Kerr. Inls
would settle the question very nicely Dy
giving Mr.. Kerr u majority OF the dele,
gates, but Mr.. Burkhart has
that he was elected as a Swift delegate
and that he will vote for MI. Swift. Had
he been elected on the Kerr ticket ne
would lave voted for Mr.. Kerr. Conse-
quently there is a tie, and if5the delegates
stick there will be no nomination.

quarters, it is said, for the nomination OF
"Frog Row. Cole for Assembly on the
Republican ticket in the First Assembly
district OF Camden. This is in all proba-
bility a reward for Willie's services in
getting that pen for General Sewell at
Trenton, At any rate when this fact be-
came known among the Republicans yes

slaughtered in this summary manner.

A new station has just been begun at
Glen Ridge, on the Greenwood Lake

Bloomfield, and heretofore known as
Chestnut Hill. The design of the build
ing is novel, inasmuch as the plans were
executed in England by Maurice B.
Adams, architect, Bedford Park, Ches-
wick, London, w. The object was to
have a station of English architecture,
designed by an English architect. The
building will be Of stone and red brick to
the second story, and the upper part of
wood. The walls will be of wood franz
ing, filled in and finished with a rough
coat of plaster, which will have a warm
buff-gray color in the finishing coat.
The angle uprights and other construct
ional woodwork will be finished in black
stain, having a dead surface. The other
woodwork, such as window frames, will
be white. The doors will be painted age
green. The caves, cutters and stack pipes
will be painted dark Indian red or brown,
Tinted glass Will be used In the loaded
lights and clear glass for the other parts.
The roof, which will be made up of many
angles, will be surmounted by q little
tower and a bell turret and will be made
of thing. The basement and chimney
viii be made of red brick with stone cap
pings. The station will contain one wait
ing room, q booking office, ticket and tele-
graph office, besides a living room, cloak
room, kitchen, scullery and three bed
rooms for the use of the agent, who will
live on the premises. 1t is expected that

subscribed by persons owning property
available for building sites in the vicinity.
Dundee's New Race Track.
The manager of the new race track at
Dundee are determined not to be upset
by a little thing like the blow-down Of
the grand stand by a northwestern
cyclone. 1t was ~apprehended that they
were not to be ready for the opening of
the fair on the 18th in of
the accident. But the men who have
charge of this enterprise are made of
different metal. They have engaged $50
carpenters, n those who visit the
gEounds during the next few days will
see as lively a sight as they ever wit
messed, for the builder has agreed to have
the whole thing completed in time for
the opening on the 14th inst. The public
will therefore understand that there will
be no delay whatever in consequence of
the accident on Tuesday afternoon and
that the grand stand will be completed
just the same as if a cyclone had not
come along.
A Train DeraiIed to Prevent Collision.
The passengers on the local train on the
West Jersey Railroad due in Camden a
few minutes after eight o'clock had a
narrow escape from disaster yesterday
morning. The train left Gloucester in a
dense fog, and when the Bulson street
crossing was nearly reached the switch
man gave the signal that the tracks of the
Atlantic City Railroad were clear. AS the
signal dropped the switchman heard the
rumble Of a train on the Atlantic City
Railroad tracks, and instantly signalled
the West Jersey train to stop. In doing
this he opened a switch and derailed the
West Jersey train just as the Atlantic
express passed. Three seconds later, the
engineer said, would have caused an
awful collision. The operator in the sig
nal tower is regarded as a very careful
man.

nut streets, died very suddenly on Tues
day night at the Interstate Fair stables,
in Trenton. Mr.. Sands purchased the

with all the sDOrtino peOple at the fair
