BOARD OF FREEHOLDERx.
The Bridge i'm BAD Shape but IN
NO Immediate Danger and
Action is Deferred.

The Board of Freeholders mel
Friday morning at the Menantico
bridge. about three miles below Mil.
vile. At the last meeting of the Board
the bridge was represented as being in
very bad shape and immediate action
was considered necessary.
When the Clerk of the Board called
the meeting to order all mem bers were
present, excepting Director Birkin-
shaw, Messrs. White al S.1 of this
city, and Peter Cosier, of Downe.
Morris Bacon, of Greenwich, was
elected Director pro. tenn, and the
members then took time to make a
careful investigation of the bridge.
The structure is partly iron and has
an old draw in it, which has not: been
off for at least five years, thes naviga-
tion up the old creek having entirely
closed. The Board decided after hav-
ing consulted with Bridge Manager
Ackley, that the structure would be
all right until next Spring, with some
little necessary repairing.
John Fries, of Millville,,, who owns
some property up above the bridge,
was present and interposed an objec-
ton to having stationary bridge
placed across the river. He referred
to the fact that he had seen three
thousand cords of woods shipped from
above the bridge, although now the
woodland had been pretty much all
burned over. He said he had recently
sold 300 acres of ground there, which
was divided in sixty-six different lots,
and settlement would soon be. made
above the bridge. 1t was probable
that a mill would be erected, and nav
igation again re-opened. There was a
good deal of other land about there
he thought. which would soon be in
market. In answer to a question, he
said he had sold forty acres of ground
up that way, for 1000 brick, and this
statement made some people think
that the land up that way was not
very profitable.
With the fact that these objections
were made to stationary bridge, the
Board decided that further action
would be deferred until spring, and
Bridge Manager Ackley was author
lied to make some necessary repairs to
the structure.
The Board then adjourned, and the
members driving to Millville, took din
ner in a body at the Doughty House.

GOOD WORDS FOR HIM.
What Camden Thinks IOf III. e..
EOudenslager.

Recently the DailY Chronicle said
that Mr.. Loudenslager's nomination
left very bitter feeling among the
Camden people. While it Is unneces-
sary to refute such vicious statement,
still it is pleasing to point to the fol-
lowing from the Camden Cnurier.
''The Republican Congressional Con-
vention of the First district, in session
at Salem yesterday, nominated Henry
@. Loudenslager, of Gloucester county,
for Congress, to succeed Hon. Chisto.
pher A. Bergen. The preliminary
canvas for the nomination was waged
with great vigor and tine best of feel
ing by the five candidates In the field,
but that absurd ''unwritten law'
against third term which was a fac.
tor in the fight against which Camden's
candidate, Mr.. Bergen, could not pre-.
vail. The successful candidate is a
vigorous, indefatigable worker, and
made good use of his opportunities
and his undoubted popularity, backed
by the sentiment against third term.
He won the nomination fairly, and his
unanimous nomination will be in.
dorsed by the people by a large ma.
jority. Mr.. Loudenslager has the abil.
ity and integrity that befit represen.
tative of the people, and there is every
reason to believe that he will prove a
worthy successor of those who have
so ably represented the district in the
past. He is entitled to and will receive
the unanimous support of the Repub-
licans of Camden, who generally fur
nish the majority in the district, and
we have every reason to believe that
he will receive goodly proportion of
the Democratic vote, also. His cleo.
tion, however, is not matter of the
slightest doubt.

THE CANDIDATE.
Henry Clay Loudenslager was born
forty two years ago in Downe town
ship, this county, previous to the set
ting off of Commercial township, His
father was Samuel P. Loudenslager,
for years Clerk of Gloucester County,
and his grandfather was Jacob Loud
enslager we'll known and popular
M. E. preacher. The candidate is one
of the most affable and successful poll
ticians of the State, having a wide &C.
quaintanceship, and has always been
in the higher councils of his party
| throughout the State. For ten years
Mr.. Loudenslager has been Clerk of
Gloucester county, having succeeded
his father, and in his own county he
is affectionately beloved by all the
masses.
The young man is gentleman of
ability, and will be careful and pains
taking representative. He can clearly
and concisely express himself, and will
have considerable influence at the
National capital. He will be elected
by majority much larger than given
in the First District for very many

THE CHURCH CENSUS.
Facts Concerning the Methodist
Denomination in New jersey.

Every county in New Jersey has
one or more congregations of the
Methodist persuasion. But sixteen of
the other States are likewise repre-
sented in this Christian faith. Begin
ming with one man, Phillip Embury,
in the city of New York, one hundred
and twenty-six years ago, the Metho-
dists now muster an army of nearly
two and a.quarter millions. Thirty
years before Embury established the
church the brothers Wesley had
labored in America, their evangelical
tour having been principally confined
to Georgia.
There are to-day in New Jersey
SO, 1856, Methodists, or about one.seven-
teenth of the population. These peo.
pie are separated into $40 distinct Or
ganizations, owning 554 church edi-
fees, with a seating capacity of 1885,
4S5. Besides, they occupy thirty halls,
ETC., seating 2,625 persons. In all, the
church property owned by them is
valued at $5,O09,075, or about one
nineteenth of the total wealth of the
church in this country. In New York
the property of the Methodists has
only about three times the value of
that of the sect in New Jersey.
The county having the largest num-
ber of communicates is that of Essex
but Burlington has the largest number
of district organizations, or forty.sev-
en-. Burlington also has the largest
number of churches. each organiza.
tion worshiping in it's own house. Es-
sex, however, with thirty-seven
churches, affords the greatest seating
capacity, or 1910. In value the
church property of Eessex is far in the
lead, as the valuation is we'll up to.
ward a million, or $913, 400.
Bergen county has the least number
of communicates, 657; the smallest
number of churches, nine, and, of
course, the least wealth, or SOC, 500.
The Methodists in New Jersey, are
thus distributed:
Atlantic, 1924; Bergen, 637; Bur-
lington, 5,594; Camden, 6,5O3; Cape
May, 2,46S; Cumberland, 6,O25; Essex,

The third and last ballot was taken
and there was the greatest enthusiasm.
The five First ward men of this city
went back to Nichols. When Glouces-
ter county was reached, township
that had been voting for Bergen, gave
its five votes to Loudenslager. Salem
county had been casting ten votes for
Bergen, and these went to the Glouces-
ter county man. This made Louden-
Slayer 1S9 votes, three less than the
number required to nominate. I'm
mediately the Loudenslager men sur
rounded the five Livermore men and
called upon them to change, and amid
the widest enthusiasm, they came
over, and the work was over. Then
ten votes changed from Leaning to
Loudenslager, and Judge Armstrong
jumped on the stage amid the greatest
confusion, moved to suspend the rules
and made the nomination of Louden-
slayer by acclamation, and the vote
was one rousing aye from every part
of the house.
The scene beggared description. A
Committee was! appointed to bring
Mr.. Loudenslager before the Conven-
tion. The Committee found him at
his headquarters at the Nelson House
surrounded by hundreds of congrat.
ulating friends.
The Young Republican Club, of
Camden, was formed, and Mr.. Loud
enslager and the Committee were es-
corted to the Opera House. There
the widest and most enthusiastic con-
fusion prevailed and the successful
candidate was fairly carried and lifted
upon the stage.
He made a very feeling speech. Full
of thankfulness, his language being
that of a polished orator, and his most
enthusiastic friends where more than
surprised by his eloquence.
He was then escorted to the street.
and with the Young Republican club
was marched through the streets,
which were thronged with people, and
all along the line he was given per-
feet ovation.
The enthusiasm continued far into
the night and 1t was past eleven

splendid speech in which he said the
honor was great surprise to him. par
icnlarly SO when be remembered he
was one of the most humble in tbe
ranks, and had come directly to the
Convention from the workshop. He
said he was surrounded by SO many
able Republicans who could have filed
the position so much better, and yet
feeling of pride came over him when
he was elevated to the honor. The
Democrats, he declared, had always
proclaimed that this, the grand old
party, was silk stocking party, but
this convention had stamped that al
legation as false because 1T had gone to
the workshop for a man to preside
over its deliberations. He continued
by saying thatthe party would nomi-
nate the next Congressman, and that
he would be such man as would assist
that able young man, John Keau, Jr.,
to the Gubernatorial chair this fall.
The Committee on rules recon-
mended the rules of the previous Con-
vention togovern this one.
1t was 20 minutes past three when
Judge E. Amber Armstrong, of Cam
den, arose, and for the third time placed
the name of Christoper A. Bergen in
nomination. The speech seemed to
be labored one, not quite such an
effort as the Judge made in the same
cause four years ago.. but the Camden
people were out for noise and they
made the Opera House ring with their
cheers.

LONDON, March s-The action of the miners
In announcing that they would go on a strike
on the 18th inst. caused rapid rise in the price
of coal, leading to panic. The cold weather,
which led TO the consumption of larger amount
OF coal than usual, continues to prevail, and
this fact caused the alarm to become greater
than would otherwise have been the case. No
one knows where advancing prices will
stop and consequently everybody is anxious
to lay in coal enough now to carry
them over the period of strike. Merchants de-
clare that II the present demand continues
stocks will last for only two days. The news
papers all publish articles in reference to the
situation and urge the public not to become
panlc-stricken, as prices cannot make much
further advance, owing to foreign competition.

notice OF further advance in the price Of coal
The latter advance makes a total rise OF shil-
