The Cliffwood House. at Cliffwood,
near Keyport, was totally destroyed by
fire Friday morning about 2 o'clock, invol-
wing loss of fully twelve thousand dol
lars, upon which there is an insurance of
$500. Not vestige of the place remains
outside of the brick foundation and a
small piece of the big chimney. The
property was owned by Watson L. Still
wagon, and for many years has been a
popular resort for summer visitors. It
was big square hotel, four stories high
and containing about sixty sleeping roorns'
At the time of the fire, which, it is as
serted, broke out in the barroom, there
were but three occupants of the building.
and they were Mr.. Stillwagen, his daugh-
ter, aged 20 years, and the housekeeper.
These escaped in their night robes. For
tunately the wind was blowing from the
west, and the outbuilding, in which the
help of the hotel were asleep, escaped,
with its inmates. There is no fire depart
ment in the town, and the meagre aid
offered by the residents of the place was
wholly inadequate to the safety of the
other buildings in the vicinity of the
hotel, which only favorable wind saved
from complete destruction.

belonging to George Names, of Moores-
town. The house was occupied by Mr.
Morrell, a cigar salesman, who was away
from home at the time of the fire, which
broke out about Is minutes after eight,
Tuesday evening, and the flames lit up
the country for miles around. There was
no means of getting fire apparatus to 1t,
and the people were compelled to stand
by and see it burn to the ground. The
origin of the fire is at present unknown
as Mrs. Morrell was out visiting at Mrs.
Orders. a neighbor who lives near by,
and she was almost distracted when she
saw her house burned down. Is is said
there were 10000 cigars and $3.50 in mon
ey burned. There was an insurance OF
$4,000 on the property.

There seems to be an epidemic OF
spotted fever in Bridgeton, two persons
having died from it last week. On Sun
day night the daughter of James Neal died
and on Friday night David Hutchinson
was carried off by the disease. Two of bis
children are i'll and also Mrs. Neal, but the
physician has not yet pronounced il
spotted fever. Several persons have died
during the past few months with the dis.
ease, and the residents are becoming
alarmed.
1t is probable that no criminal charges
will be pressed against Lawyer John Har-
ris, of Camden. James Bell, who swore
out the warrant against Harris while he
was missing, had consultation with the
Prosecutor on Saturday. Bell still has the
warrant, which was not served. A repre-
sentative of the Guarantee Building and
Loan Association announced that the asso.
citation would not prosecute Harris if he
settled their claim.
The Jersey City Tax Commissioners
have been driven to desperate measures to
keep the tax levy within the limit of three
per cent, and have assessed property OF
the Erie Railroad Company at more than
million dollars and put in about $77, 900
of the Pennsylvania Railroads property.
The railroad Companies have filed
objections with the Board of Tax Appeals.
claiming that the property is exempt from
direct taxation, and can only be assessed
by the State Board of Assessors. The local
board has confirmed the action of the Tax
Commissioners, and the companies viii
carry the appeal.
George Morris, sixty years old, col
ored, who was arrested in Philadelphia
on the charge of numbering Ella Ford,
also colored. and burying her body in the
cellar of 800 Locust street, Camden, has
made statement to the authorities in
which he says that he committed the
deed In jealous rage. He struck the girl
first with large. heavy poker, and not
with the bloody hammer that was found
in an clubhouse. The girl and he had sew
eral quarrels on the day of the murder,
and the old man declares that he was
afraid that she was about to throw large
knife at him, when he struck her across
the forehead. She was knocked senseless
and he killed her with the hammer. She
died after an awful struggle He carried
the body into the cellar and buried it
The carpet in the room was very bloody,
and this he burned.

WHILE most people have, fer long
time, been satisfied that politics has
much to do with the granting of licenses
it was never urged in open Court before
Saturday, when Clarence 7. Atkinson,
counsel for John Meiler. an applicant,
called the attention Of the Judges to the
assertion that Meiler was induced to
plead guilty to an indictment and was
being opposed in this application by
political faction TO whom he would not
bend the knee. Whether Clarence ex-
pected the bench to take up this factonal
fight and whether the decision was based
on that circumstance, we leave the reader
to conjecture.

exposition pertaining to Linens.
Here is assembled the greatest

Linens accessible to the retail
buyer in all the world. The
consumer gets all the advan-

This means the least prices and

Our Linens are strictly flax
all flax. Cotton, jute and
ramie are equally excluded from
combination with flax in our
stock. Our experts know fax
and linen. Neither ignorance
nor''cupidity are permitted to de-
stroy their fidelity to fax. We
think this can not be truthfully
said OF any other great stock OF
Linens in this country. Some
smaller stocks are controlled by
pure fax principles.

From present indications it would ap-
pear to be waste of time for the oppos-
ers of liquor licenses to attempt to get fav-
orable consideration at the hands of the
lay judges, who have put themselves oD
record as favorable to all applications.
At least that is what their recent action
looks like. Two cases were before them
last week. In one it was clearly shown
that there was no public necessity for the
house that craved license, but, on the
contrary, that it was likely to be nothing
but drinking place, but the license was
gSsaEted. In the second instance, the APP
plicant was man who had been convict
ed Of breaking the law, and whose license
should have been promptly revoked. but
it was not he was allowed to again apply
for legal permission to sell rum, and 1t
was given him.

JAMES gillespie BLAINE died at II
o'clock Friday morning. The immediate
cause of death was exhaustion. The
disease which brought about his end was
a chronic affection of the kidneys, compli-
Gated with resulting ailments.
Death came without pain. Mr.. Blaine
was conscious to the last. About his bed

sister-ln-law, Miss Abigail Dodge, the
physicians, Drs. Hyatt and Johnston, and
the nurses.

scene which gave proof of his faith in God
and heavens as in reply to question by his

The death OF Mr.. Blaine removes from

to appear in the defense of his country and

crisis of its struggle for existence. Mr..
Blaine never faltered in his devotion to
