RAPID TRANSIT IN POLITICS.
Millville public Speak Their
Minds.

The following interesting dispatch
dated from Millville, appeared Tuesday
morning in the Philadelphia North
American
"The rapid transit question promises
to be leading one in Millville politics
this spring. The people generally
condemn the unfsvorable action of
Council In regard to the ordinance re-
Gently considered, and are after
number of Councilmen who voted
against the bill, and who would be
candidates for reelection, with sharp
stick. One ofthem has already dropped
out of the race. An effort will be
made to elect enough Councilmen
favorable to the passage of the Rapid
Transit ordinance at the ensuing elec.
ton to give franchise to the COM
pany that wishes to connect the cities
of Bridgeton and Millville with an
electricsrailway."

SPECIAL COURT.
Prisoners Called Upon 10 Answer
Charges.

Prisoners Called Upon 10 Answer
Charges.
A special session of Court was held
last Monday for the purpose of dis
posing OF number OF Criminal Gases.
Prisoners were brought into the Court
room. and pleaded as follows:
Chas. BEDDING, stealing wood, guilty.
Frederick Box, committing assault;
guilty.
Edward Moore, better known as
imam eater, 4" malicious mischief; guilty.
Calvin Dunby, abduction; not guilty.
Box made statement. He said he
struck a man by the name of Ratlit In
defending his mother. He said he had
only been out of the United States
Service for five weeks.
Prosecutor Logue moved the case of
state against Calvin Demby, charged
with abudnction, In marrying Theo-
dosia Lewis a girl under the age of
consent.
The case was one where Demby,
who is big colored fellow, married
the girl without the consent of her
father, Charles Lewis.
Theodosia is somewhat waywerd
girl and the latter part of December,
Ing the presence of Demby, she an
nounced to her father that she was
about to marry Demby. Lewis for.
bade it, and afterwards forebade DEM
by marrying the girl, who is but four
teen. Dispute this warning the
couple were married by Justice of the
Peace Isaac Saxton. Dumby was
then arrested.
Demby's defense was that he did
not know anything of the girl being
under age, as the girl made an affidavit
before the Justice that she was 16
years Of age, That the girl was seri-
ously illtreated by her father, and
that was the reason she left home and
for her own protection married Demby

the very nature OF things there must
have been much noise made. "A bright
light from a street lamp is directly in
front of the store.
These frequent occurrences alarm
business men. How long must the
public be at the mercy of such charac-
ters, and no steps taken to protect
property. 1t seems as If two policemen
have all they can do to keep out of the
wind at the four corners of Commerce
and Laurel streets, and all the rest of
the town is at the mercy of thieves.
There must be more officers and the
streets must be patrolled. Otherwise
all business houses are at the mercy of
any one who desires to rob and plum
der.

It's Going lhe Rounds.

"The man who drinks the red, red
wine can never glue his lips to mine" :"
is now in the platform of an organiz-
alton being formed at Binghamton, N.
Y, by several young ladies. The Sui
livan Reuie,o as the next plank offers
the following: 1.-THE man who quaffs
the foaming beer shall never call me

who takes his whisky straight need
never at my home stay late" The

Dover IndeG. Let them put in an ad-
ditional plank thus: 1.-THE man who
smokes the cigarette can never any of

man who plays with poker chips, I'll
see that from my side he skips."

Pawned His W1fe.s Boots.

On Friday Sam Crane stopped into
A. B. Yappe's shoe store shop and
"soft drink" speak easy on South
Pearl street, where he tried to dispose
of pair of women's boots. His wife
was standing outside peeping through
the window at the proceedings, and
when some money had been advanced
on the boots she entered the store and
demanded them. Selling them she
went her way, while Sam, who was
already drunk, went up the street
with the money he had secured In his
pocket, for more rum. Mrs, Crane
says Sam will pawn any thing he can
get his hands on when he is drunk
The boots looked as if they were
hers

ENDEAVORENG TO KILL BEN
Gen. Butler Leads a Charmed
Lie.

General Benjamin Butler, the SOL
dier-statesman, recently deceased, led
a charmed life. Despite the fact that
he encountered almost insurmount-
able obstacles, and braved all the hor-
rible dangers of war, yet he lived to a
ripe old age.
H. Frazeur Bell, of this city, tells an
interesting story in connection with
the fortunate escapes of the General.
He says that during the war he was in
the Rebel army, and he was lying on a
bluff with his regiment, along the
James river. Their position com.
manded full view of the river, and
their guns were so directed as to cover
all the small boats and passports that
were running up the river.
A spy told the Confederates that
Gen. Butler would pass up the river
on certain day in a boat named "The
Greyhound" Immediately Johnnys
were alert and desirous of capturing
the willy commander. A boat came
along, and some thought it was the
Greyhound" but others said nay,
and the vessel went along unmolested.
Another boat was. approaching and
this was said to be the boat, and a
heavy fire was directed upon her, and
she was compelled to heave to, and
the crew surrendered. 1t was soon
learned that the boat was not the
"Greyhound". .and when the Capt. and
others wanted to know when she
would pass, they were informed that
she had preceded them, with General
Butler on board. An instance surely
of miraculous escape.

ed by Governors Ludlow and Green.
Many important cases have come be-
fore the County Courts since he first
took his seat on the bench.
Judge Stratton has hade a very
active life and at one time was prom
fnently engaged In politics. A lranz
script reporter had a very interesting
chat with him on Wednesday regard
Ing his political career.
He was elected Sheriff of the county
IN 1854, running on the temperance
ticket, and was elected by about 100
majority. His opponents were Joshua
Dawson, now deceased, glass.blower
OF this city, who was the Know Moth
ing candidate, and Martin Bowen, of
Bridgeton, the regular Democratic
candidate.
Judge Stratton was elected State
Senator in 1859 On the straight Demo-
cratic ticket, succeeding the late John

manner.

REV LOUCKs KxONERATED.
The Presbytery Completely
Vtndfcates the Reverend
Gentleman.

Whether Rev. Wellington e. Loucks,
the former pastor of the first Presby-
terian Church, now lying Ill of typheid
fever at his residence, No 427 Linden
street, Camden, lives or dies, 1t will not
be under the shadow of grave charge
affecting his character and standing as
man and minister.
The committee OF the West Jersey
Presbytery appointed to investigate
the character of the rumors against
him and of the specific charge of gross
immortality made by Mrs. Mead, d,repert-
ediyesterday at an adorned meet
ing OF the Presbytery held in the chapel
of the Second Presbyterian Church
Fourth and Benson streets, Camden.
That the result of this inquiry into
the case was that the rumors and
charges were not only not proven, but
that they were, In their belief, untrue,
all rumors as to his conduct being
traced to a common source.
The report was read by Rev. DR..
Barnard and was the unanimous pre-
sentiment of the committee and was
unanimously accepted and adopted by
the Presbytery.
: Pending the question of accepting
and adopting the report of the COM
mittee, which by the motion made to
accept and adopt, disposes forever of
all the charges brought against Mr..
Loucks and Investigated by the COM
mittee. Many of the ministers and
elders made brief addresses expressing
their qualification on account of the
termination of the Investigation.
Rev William J. Bridges, of Bridge
ton, read paper in which he ex-
pressed himself strongly on the case,
stating that there was not one scin-
tilla of evidence to corroborate Mrs.
Mead's charges.

Appropriation for salem River

SALEM, Feb. 10.-Included In the
appropriations that have passed the
House of Representatives is an item
appropriations $500 for lighthouse
at the mouth of Salem River. This Is
something that has been needed.
Congress has In times past made
several appropriations to improve the
navigation of this stream, but not of
sufficient ammount to cover the cost
of work that would be permanent. A
stone jetty, in the opinion of experts,
is the only way to improve the navi-
cation of Salem River, to make the
OBJ q permanent one.
