BARON HIRSCH'S PLAN.
Getting Ready to Found q New Colony ,
New Jersey.

CAPE MAY, N. j., Aug. 17.-John Moore,
the glass manufacturer of Clayton, N. j.,
who is at preseAt negotiating with Baron
Hirsch for the sale of 5000 acres of land
between Woodbine and Mount Pleasant
stations, on the West Jersey Railroad.
was seen at the Stockton Hotel in refer
ence to the transaction.
At first Mr.. Moore declined to talk,
saying that the papers had made pre-
mature announcements, and he said
there is absolutely nothing to give to the
public.
On July last Mr. Moore was request
in New York, which he did. Since that
time the land has been looked over and
other preliminary business matters en-
tered into. The agents of the rich Baron
are engaged in looking up the validity
of the titles, and should they prove &C.
ceptable the deed will probably be made
out during the next fortnight and the
cash handed over to Mr.. Moore. No
money has as yet passed hands, and the
negotiations cannot be considered closed
for that reason. The land is said to be
worth from 50 to $40 an acre and charm =
ingly situated.
The West Jersey Railroad cuts it al
most into equal halves, while the pro-
posed new line, the Seashore Short Line,
crosses the West Jersey at right angles,
about half way between the two stations,
thus placing the proposed settlement on
tour sides of two imp ortant railroads,
one being already in active operation.
The tract of land when purchased will
be laid out into small farming sites, and
each farm will be provided with the
necessary frame buildings. Factories
for cloth and shoes will also be erected.
Baron Hirsch is not entering into the
transaction with a speculative view, and
when the papers are ready all the cash
will be at once forthcoming.

DENIED BY THE PRESIDENT.

He VIII Not Write Letter Withdraw
ing from the Presidential Race. .
CAPE MAY, n. j., Aug. 17.-Presiden ant
Harrison, through Private Secretary Hal
ford, denies the story that he is about to
declare, over his sigma ture, that he will
refuse to be a candidate for renomina-
ton. The President replied in his usual
manner that he would not discus; news
paper rumors.
The vigor with which Mr. Harrison's
nswer was given made it quite apparent
that no such letter will be written.
Mr.. Harrison's friends say that while
the President is not a candidate in the
sense of chasing after a nomination, he
desires u denomination. His subordin ates
are doing the work, while he looks on
and notes the effect.
Secretary Tracy and Attorney General
Miller, who were here some days ago
are at present doing some good work in
Mr.. Harrison's interest. They have re-
Gently approached Congressman and
other prominent and influential poll
ticians relative to sending their respec-
tive delegations to the national Republi-
can convention next year. This is not
heresay. The statement is based on
strong, substantial facts. These two
Cabinet officers are now engaged in pre-
pairing slate to suit their chief, and
through their combined efforts it is said
that the Maryland delegation has al
ready been pledged to Harrison, Secre-
tary Tracy and Congressman Mudd, of
Maryland, having arranged affairs to
their entire satisfaction.
The President has not written any let
ter declining to permit his name to go
before the national convention, but it is
said there exists an implied understand
ing between Mr. Harrison and Secretary
Blaine to the effect that one of them will
decline in advance sh ould the other de-
velop greater strength.
This is simply tacit agreement exist
ing only in the inferential sense, but it
seems to be an agreement, neverth eless. .
All of Mr.. Harrisons friends seen lately
seem confident of his renomin ton.

We are getting so accustomed to
remarkable things that it is pretty hard
to astonish us nowadays Two years
ago we added ready made clothing to
our we'll established tailoring and fur
nishing goods business. We decided
we would keep only the rightly made
kind, goods that we knew were reliable.
To compete with inferior qualities we
marked our goods at very close mar
gins of profit. The growth of our
business has been remarkable. The
public appreciated our efforts and this
fall we open the largest and best light
ed Clothing store in Connecticut. In
the meantime we are reducing our
stock and giving many grand bargains
Come and get them.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA dispatch from
Berlin says that the signs multiply
that German industries will not be fully
represented at the Chicago Fair. Many
unfavorable replies have been received
by the Imperial Commissioner, and as a
result the government has thought best
to issue a statement that it's official &C.
ceptance of the invitation to participate
in the fair will be withdrawn unless a
suitable number of exhibitors signify
their intention to send displays. The
government doesn't wish to a pear as
officially recognizing an exhibition that
would not afford a creditable showing of
German trade and industry.
