An old geological map of New Jersey
made in 1889. which we found recently
among old papers OF the late William
Summerill, gives an idea of some of the
geographical changes ON Salem county
since that time. PENIS Grove is not
marked on the map but a steamboat
landing is noted where PeDn's Grove
now is. The Cove is most prominent
being the head centre of business in
Upper Penn's Neck, and the road from
~SharptOwn then run direct from the
brick mill TO the Cove, crossing be-
tween Daniel V. Summerill's and Ann
Torbert's residences. Perkint0wn was
then Il prominent place and Auburn
was then SculltowD. A saw mill was
then situated below Sculltown, on the
David Sheet. nov Geo. HARRISON farm.
Pennsville was then known as Kin
SEVILLE and Elmer known as Pitts
town. There was a Stockingtown then
between Allowaystown and P~ittstown.
Salem county was then divided up
into only eight townships: Upper
Penns Neck, Lower Penns Neck, Piles
grove, Pittsgrove, Warrington Upper
Alloway Greek, Lower Alloway Creek
and Elsinboro. Upper Plttsgroye has
been formed out of Pittsgrove, Quinton
out of l.. A. Creek and U. Alloway
Creek and Oldmans taken from U. I.
Neck.
Woolwich township then included
Logan in Gloucester county and Fridge
port was not known.

Board of Freeholders has written to the
Berlin Iron Bridge Company concern
ing the delay in having the Iron ready
for the Courses Landing Bridge. The

that a cyclone completely demolished

The Lottery Fight.

WASHINGTON, April 27-The attor-
neys for the publishers of the New Orleans
States and Mobile Register and Louisiana
lottery company to-day made a vigorous
effort to prevent the postponement of the
argument in the cases against the news
paper publishers for violating the anti-lot-
terry act, forbidding the circulation through
the mails of publications containing lottery
advertisements. The court was very
much disinclined to hear the case
at this term, owing to the illness
of Justice Bradley. J. c. Carter
of New York made the request that the
cases go on as originally ordered. He called
attention to the position in which postpone
ment would leave his clients, the newspa-
per, with lottery advertisements being ex-
cluded absolutely from the mails pending
the decision. The chief justice was disin-
clined to grant the request, and finally said
that the court will retire for consultation,
which it Immediately did. The government
counsel are Indifferent as TO immediate ar
gument or postponement, and offered no
suggestions to the court. When the justices
returned the chief justice announced the
postponement of the cases until the second
Monday of next October.

Fort SMITH, ARK. April Ex-Governor
Jones, Treasurer McCurtain, Auditor Aims
worth and the delegate board of the Choc-
taw Nation passed through here to-day, en-
route to Washington City, where they go
for the purpose of conveying to the govern
ment all title and interest that the Choc =
taws have in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
lands, lying north of the Canadian river
and west of the Goth degree of longitude.
During the last congress three delegates
appointed by the council of 1889, r. ].
Ward. j. S. Stanley and Fl. G. Harris, pro-
ceeded to Washington City with power to
negotiate for the sale to the government
of this land. They succeeded and an ap-
preparation was made to pay the Choctaws
81 991, $50, one-fourth of which was to GO to
the Chickasaws. and one fourth of the bal
ance to go to the delegates, who were to
pay all expenses incurred in the negotia-
lions with the government, after transfer
ring the s., 24f3, 5S7. 80. which is the amount
due the Choctaws after deducting that of
the Chickasaws. If they succeed, the
money is to be paid over to Green Nc
Curtain, treasurer Of the Choctaw Nation,
after which it will be paid out per capita to
all Choctaw citizens by blood, negroes and
white citizens by intermarriage being ex-
cluded.
There is some doubt as to whether the
delegation will be able to complete the
deal, and the matter will be watched
with much interest.
