On Friday last, horse belonging TO
Horace Dean, OF Rosemont, took fright
while Mr.. d. was in the act OF entering
the wagon on North Main street, and ran
away. The horse ran through Button

ing bui inc shafts attached 10 iiirn, aud
several children had very narrow escapes
from being run down by the animal. He
turned the corner at Union street, and
continued on down to Bridge, down
Bridge and into John Schenck's livery
yard. where he almost ran over Fl. s.
Biting. who was stretching wire from
his Office to Williamson's Hotel, and at
the time was standing on a ladder. Mr..
B. made jump for the horse aud caught
him. la turning the corner OF Main and
Buttonwood streets the wagon struck the
curb, and the shafts were detached from
the wagon, and the wagon upset. Mr..
Deans boy was In the wagon at the time,
and was thrown out, but not hurt. John
Reinert, with his candy wagon, hap
pened to be near by when the horse
started, and he ran after him some distance,

Reinert's absence the mules that were
attached to the candy wagon took II into
their heads to have little run, and away
they went down Main street on a mule
run, and pulled up at Reinert's barn, with
everything safe aud sound.

The decision OF the Court Of Errors
and Appeals on Monday, affirming that
OF the Supreme Court, 10 the case of the
Hudson county ballot-box suffers. will
give deep satisfaction to every honest
citizen Of this State. These men were
convicted OF the most barefaced and out
rageons crimes against the ballot ever
perpetrated Ia this State, and never pa
ralleled north Of Mason and Dixon's line.
Their crime was characterized by every
possible offensive feature. They not only
stuffed ballot boxes, but stuffed the regis
try lists with the names OF dead men and
fictitious Inventions they and their tools
imported gangs Of repeaters they cheat
ed by wholesale In counting the returns !;
they openly and audaciously committed
every frand that ingenious rascality could
invent. And then they were insolent and
insulting about It. They boosted that
they had too strong ''pull'' to be pun
ished. They laughed the outraged and
cheated champions for a pure ballot TO
scorn. Metaphorically they spat 10 the
face Of the public. They were absolutely
no mitigating circumstances.
Now, let them quickly be hustled into
prison. They have defed justice long
enough.

1T is a fact now universally conceded
by the best informed authorities that the
new No. 9 high arm family sewing ma
chine, Of the Wheeler & Wilson Mauufac-
turing Company. embodies the best de-
vices of the most skillful inventors, and
combines the best results of expensive
and long continued experiments to pro-
duce a perfect machine, superior to all
others now before the public in point of
ease, rapidity and precision Of action,
uniformity Of tension and perfection of
seam. Over one hundred of these ma
chimes have been sold in this city and
vicinity 10 the last eighteen months, aud
every one has given satisfaction. This
certainly ought to influence any one in

duces fatigue and Incidental travelling in

These Niagara Falls tours, arranged
and conducted by the Pennsylvania Rail-

celent management and equipment, but
to the extraordinarily low rate.
The dates fixed this year are July 18th

September Sd and Goth. Excursion tick
els, good to stop off at Watkins aud
Rochester, within the ten-day limit Of the
tickets, and good TO return via Buffalo,
and stop over at that point, will be sold
at rate of $40 for the round trip from
both these points, and at proportionately
low rates from other stations. This lib
eral arrangement of train service and low
rates, together with the favorable time Of
year al which the tours are run, and the
picturesque route traversed, has numbered
them with the most popular jaunts Of the
season.
Each tour is conducted In detail at that

Opinions 10 the Camden EXCISE oa.s..

Opinions In the Camden Excise Gases.
In the cases OF the city OF Camden VS..
Beck, the Court OF Errors and Appeals on
Monday reversed the judgment given by
Judge Hugo, Of Camden county, allowing
Beck to recover 5000, the difference Ia the
license fee as fixed by the city Of Camden
and the County Excise Commission. The
city fixed the fee at $500, aud Beck paid
this amount. The County Excise Com
mission fixed the fee at $500, and Beck
sued for the difference before Judge Hugg,
sitting in the Circuit Court for Justice
Garrison, with the result above stated.
The Court Of Errors and Appeals re-
versed this judgment, but does not state
the grounds Of reversal, simply saying the
Court is unanimous 10 reversing, and will
file an opinion during the term, giving
the reasons. The importance of the rea-
sons is obvious, when It is stated that
Judge Pancoast, for the city Of Camden,
directly attacked the constitutionality Of
the County Excise Commission act, which
has resulted 10 license being granted in
Salem, Cumberland and Atlantic counties,
and causing the great anti-lquor crusade
now existing 10 Bridgeton aud Millville !;
and also the constitutionality OF the act
giving the Presiding Judge of the Com
mon Pleas Court power to sit and try
cases in the Circuit Court. Should this
latter act be declared unconstitutional,
much litigation held under 1t will be void.

Trouble over a WINS Proyislons.

We last week stated that Fl. A. Fluck
and Jacob R. Vert were the executors ap-
pointed by the late George A. Rea, of
Flemington, to settle his estate.
BY the terms Of the will the proceeds of
the estate are to be deyided into five
equsbshares. Four OF these shares go to
the children of his brothers and sisters,
and one share is to go to the children of
his brother, the late Runkle Rea. He
(Runkle Rea) had five children, and this
one-fifth share aforesaid is to be divided,
as all the others are, between the children
Mrs. Ada v. Hill and Mrs. L. s. Servis,
of Reaville, and Mrs. Mary E. Workman,
Of Pennington, while the share which
would have come TO the sons, Runkle, Jr.
and Augustus, is given to their children,
thus cutting out the natural heirs, but
keeping it In the family.
Objection was made to the probating Of
this will by a large majority of the heirs,
and they accordingly entered a caveat
against 1t in the Orphans Court. The
Court on Wednesday heard the complaint,
and decided to appoint an Administrator
of the estate pending the litigation which
must follow. AS neither of the parties
interested could agree upon the person
or persons to act in this capacity, the
Court appointed Sheriff w. H. Lake Ad-
ministrator pende,ate lite, and the Sheriff
will proceed according to law to settle the
estate. His bond is fixed at $50, 900.
The estate is worth hundred thousand
dollarsor more.
IA we understand it, the chief objec-
tion among the heirs TO allowing the will
to stand is the latitude given the execu-
tors. 1t stipulates that they shall dispose
of the real estate--of which there is a
great deal-either at public or private
sale, at such time or times as they may
deem advisable, and the heirs feared that
many years might elapse before they
came into the possession of their inherit
ance. Hunterdon Democrat.
