You have noticed the big bell on that
pole Just in front of Atkinson's hotel 7
Well, there is nothing in this wide world
that will stir this village quicker and
more profoundly than the sound of it's
tongue. About that bell many good
story could be told, but none Of those
stories would be good unless the name
of Aaron Haley was interviewer therein
Aaron is now the oldest inhabitant."
He is past four score years, and his locks
are like the driven snow. When asked
about the bell he smiled and told the story
that originally it belonged to the old
horse railway that ran from Kinkora
to Lisbon. 1t was rung about car time
Presently, when Aaron took to staging
between Columbus and Burlington, 1t
fell to him to ring that bell, and this
he did for twenty-six years, quarter to
six O'Clock in the morning in winter,
and quarter to five o'clock in summer
You must know that Aaron's stage bust
ness amounted to something NICE for
during the summer he used to run two
big stages. and they were crowded every
trip. There is one remarkable thing
about the matter that must go on rec
ord, that is, in all the years he staged
he never once missed q boat or train.
Aaron owns the modest little property
he occupies, but falling health keeps him
much in doors.

1t Looks Like Butcher,

The return of Senators Smith and Nc
Pherson to Washington has caused the
Federal office-seekers of New Jersey to
resume their pilgrimage to Washington to
fill the ears of these two leaders,with tales
of self-adulation. The south Jersey Inter-
nal Revenue Collectorship has again oc-
cupied their attention. Several of ex-
Senator Butchers friends have been down
at the National Capital to explain to both
the Senators and the President that the
majority of the Democrats are favorable
to Senator Butcher and that the main OPP
position comes from parties who are dragg-
ing business into politics.
The outlook for Butchers appointment
is better than it was week ago. The
Trenton and Princeton Post-office fights
remain in statu quo. William Riddle,
who made the attempt to get Senator
Hoffman's seat from Atlantic county,
wants to be Bank Examiner. but Senator
Mcpherson wants this Office for Thomas
j. Prickett, of Medford. 1t is probable
that the situation will be compromised,
and two Bank Examiners appointed for
New Jersey, but this is not satisfactory,
as it reduces the salary and takes the
sugar from the plum.

speci al Town Meeting.

There was more than the usual crowd
at America Hall. yesterday, to attend the
special town meeting. which seems to be
regular midsummer occasion of late
years.
Richard J. B. Slack and J. Fred Lau-
master were named for moderator, and
the former was elected. The call was
read, showing that the meeting was to
consider two points, viz: sewer for Pine
street. and an additional appropriation for
roads.
The sewer question was soon settled, a
motion to postpone the further consider
alton of the matter until the annual meet
ing being adopted.
Charles C. Cowperthwait, on behalf of
the committee, asked for $500 for roads.
The paving of Water street had taken
more OF the spring appropriation than
was expected. Including the curbing,
about 81 500 had been spent. Of this
sum about $3.50 would be collected for
curling, leaving the net cost of the paving
81, $50. There was only $1,000 appropri-
ated in March. There is still much work
to be done.
Joseph H. Gaskill did not favor, as q
rule, these special meetings, but afte
hearing Mr.. Cowperthwaits statement
he believed it was necessary to make this
appropriation. He moved that $500 be
appropriated.
Augustus Won Foreinger opposed the
motion. Every year after the regular
meeting, special meeting had to be cali
ed for special legislation. He thought it
was just as easy to know at the regular
meeting what was needed as to discover
it a few months later. In reply to his
own question where the money had been
spent, he said it h ad gone for poppy
cock" work.
In reply to a suggestion that Brainerd
street, at the post Office corner, needed
attention, Joseph H. Gasklll said he did
not think it would be economy to put
any repairs on the road there at this
time, but suggested that the question of
paving the street be discussed at the next
regular town meeting.
James L. Jamison thought there was
no doubt that $500 or even more could
be spent judiciously and advantageously,
and he also thought the meeting would
unanimously vote that sum if the COM
mittee would promise not to haul sand
and spread it on the roads. Half the
money spent in the last ten years had
been spent in sand that was gone in q
little while.
A vote was taken. and the yeas were
10, nays 21. The motion was declared
lost and the meeting adjourned.

Ex-eaorernor Prioe In Court.

The peculiar spectacle of an ex-Gov-
ernor of New Jersey defending another
Ex-Governor. who stood as a prisoner
at the bar of the court, was witnessed
in Chancery Chambers at Jersey City
yesterday.
Ex-Governor Rodman T. Price, despite
his 70 years, made a sturdy appearance
when he went before Chancellor McGill
to answer the contempt proceedings I'M
der which he was arrested some weeks
ago. Ex-Governor Bedle was his counsel.
Cortland Parker appeared for Mrs. For
rest, who is trying to collect judgment
for $4,000, obtained against Ex-Governor
Price back in 1S47. The contempt pro-
ceedings resulted from the Ex-Governor
ignoring an order OF the Court of Chan
Gerry in using funds awarded him by the
government, and which the court held
were liable to attachment under the
judgment.
At the request of Ex-Governor Prices
counsel the sheriff of Bergen county
made formal return of the writ, thus
placing Price in the position of prisoner
brought into court. Ex-Governor Bedle
then asked that his client be allowed
to enter bis appearance without preiu-
dice, and this was allowed after lengthy
argument.
Application was then made for reduc-
ton of the bail from $780, 900 to $4,000,
but was refused by the Chancellor, and
Ex-Governor Price was remanded to the
custody of the sergeant-at-arms until the
bail bond was formally entered.
1t was evident from Ex-Governor
Bedle's line of argument that his clients
defense to the Forrest claim will be that
money obtained by a special grant of
Congress was free from attachment on an
old Judgment.

al Property pispute.

The improvement to Washington street
bridge, which will necessitate the widen
ing Of the street, has caused dispute over
land owned by Edward B. Jones.
When the committee of the Board OF
Freeholders decided to widen the bridge
and straighten the street, 1t was found
that the new line would cut through the
property of Mr.. Jones' The township
committee claimed that this land belonged
to the township. and that the former
owners had encroached upon the proper
ty, and had been allowed to remain.
Mr.. Jones, however, has deed for the
entire piece, and when the committee de-
cided to set his fence back and con6scate
bis land. he objected Having been
offered by one Of the committee one dollar
per square foot for the ground, he fixed
that as the price. 1t was first proposed tt
use 100 feet, but as the work proceeded I
was found that $50 square feet would b.
needed. Mr.. Jones, however. agreed Il
take 500 for the plot.

Yesterday morning, when the workmen
were ready to go to work on the north
side of the bridge, Charles Evan Merritt
appeared on the scene as counsel for Mr..
Jones, and served notice upon workmen,
township committee, contractor and all
concerned, that they would be held re-
sponsible for trespass and damage to his
clients property.
