THE report that Mr.. Russell B. Harrison
gave what he called "a state dinner" at the
White House the other day indicates that
the glowing prospects of the Harrison boom
create their own drawback by the revival
of the superfiuousness of Russell. For the
past six months or so, the younger Harrison
has been kept in a state of Suppression; but
if the report is true the present situation
makes that lively young man irrepressible.

Marrow Escape.

The house and child of Isaac Gales,
of Gouldtown, had a narrow escape
from being burned up one night last
week. MIR. and Mrs. Gales put their
child to bed and went out to church,
leaving the boy asleep. They left a
fire in the kitchen stove, and some
kindling under the stove with which
to light the fire in the morning.
Harry Gould, who lives on the oppo-
site side of the road, came home from
church about nine o'clock. and seeing
a bright light in Gales kitchen, and
knowing they were out, went to see
what it was, when he discovered a fire
in the kindling wood.
Bursting in the door he exiting uish-
ed the fire, which had ignited the car
pet and woodwork, in time to save the
building and possibly the life of the
sleeping child. 1t was supposed
sparks fell from the stove among the
kindling wood.

WON'T COST MUCH.

Drunks Will Get OH Easily.
Hereafter the old soaks can have
two drunks and two arrests for the
price of one, and have ten cents left.
Last winter the Legislature passed
a law which cut down the Magistrates
and other fees so that now the fine
and costs for an ordinary drunk will
amount only to $1.50 instead of So. 10.
The law was passed particularly to
knock out the system for the whole-
sale arrest and commitments of tramps
in Burlington County, where some of
the Justices made $4,000 per year in
committing these characters.
Millville suffers most. The only fee
allowed is fifty cents to the officer
making an arrest of a drunk, and if
he is to be committed to jail for four
days the officer must bring him over
here at a cost of not less than SO for
horse hire and twenty cents for toll.
Here the officer gets so cents for an
arrest, and the Mayor nothing. But
it is when committed that the new
law operates nicely for the County, as
under the old require it cost the
County 1888 for every man committed
to Jail for four days from Bridgeton,
and 1888 for every man committed
from Millville. Under the new law ii
costs but $3.50 from either place.

the following officers. w. O.. Conrad,

The capital stock is 100000, exempt
from taxation for ten years, and the
company have a grant of two acres In
the town limits adjacent to two rail
roads. A feature of this organization
is worthy of the attention of glass
blowers. Each member of the Glass
blowers Association must own stock,
designated accumulative shares, which
is paid for by their accommodating earn
ings at the rate of 90 per cent. an
nually. The shares to the extent of
their being paid up are entitled to
dividends declared by the company.
Apprentices will be required to pur.
chase shares and q portion of their
earnings that heretofore was exacted
by the manufacturers will be credited
on said shares. All dividends on ac-
cumulated shares are to be used in
paying off said shares. This Associa-
ton will be governed by the rules of
the Union in schedule list rate. Had
the glassblowers adopted a similar sys-
tenn of organization thirty years ago,

possession of their rights which at
present are realized by the manufac-

COURT DOENGS.
The Proponents tor Probate of
tine Will of Ann Marshall
Defeated

The probate of the alleged last will
and testinent of the late Ann Marshal
was refused to be ordered by Judge
Hoagland in Orphans Court Monday
This was one of three wills alleged tc
have been made and executed by the
late Mrs. Marshall, and alleged to have
been the last one which she executed,
the other two having been abrogated
by it.
The proponent for the probate of
the will was Mrs. Marshall's nephew,
Jos. Hildreth, who was made by the
terms of the will, the sole legatee.
The caveator to the probate of this
will was William Marshall, the hus-
band of Mrs. Marshall, and an equal
beneficiary under the terms of a
former will, with Mr.. Hildreth,s
father.
The testimony in the case, taken by
the Surrogate, was most voluminous,
the caveator being represented by
James s. Ware, Esq, and the pro-
ponent by ex-Judge Westcott, and
George w. Vroom, of Camden, and
Wheaton Berault, of Vineland.
The victory for Mr.. Ware is quite q
signal one, and it is not likely that the
next will offered will be contested.
Our report of yesterday should have
said the will of Mrs. Mayhew would
not be contested.
A large number of Russian Jews. of

gressive principles.
