CARS STOP SHORT.
A Disagree IN ent Between Woo 4
and the Traction Company.

A Dlsagreem IN ent Between Woo 4
and the Traction Company.
There is some disagreement between
President Wood of the South jersey
Traction Company and owner of the
Millville Rapid Transit Company, and
the directors OF the 8. J. Traction
Company.
A reporter called at the off se of the
company in this city, and attempted
to interview Treasurer W. d. Bacon,
but that gentleman refused absolutely
to have anything to say regarding the
matter.
Careful inquiry from other sources
developed the following state of facts
Mr.. Wood, who owns the Millville
Rapid Transit Company has endeav-
ored to have the South jersey Trac-
tion Company pay the Millville Com
pany a certain price for carrying pas.
sengers oyer its tracks from the turn
In the pike to the Millville depot. The
South Jersey Traction Company has
refused to pay this money, and Wood
has refused to allow the pike cars to
continue to the depot. To-day they
stop at Sharp street, about 5000 feet
from the depot. In consequence the
fare has been made 20 cents. It is sup
posed that the Millville cars will meet
the Traction cars, and by paying the
local fare of five cents, one can 60 any
where in Millyille, thus saving the
public at least one nickle.
1t is supposed that In a day or tive
that the pike cars will be obliged to
stop on the pike, at the point where
the track turns to go around the dam
by Union pond.
But this inconvenience will be short
lived. This afternoon, 1t Is rumored,
Directors of the South Jersey Traction
Company, win arrange to continue the
track down the pike, stopping at the
bridge at Main street. Then the pike
cars will carry the people directly into
the heart of the city of Millville and
the fare will again be twenty five
cents.
If this is done. the travelling public
will be better off than at present. The
cars from Bridgeton will carry pas
sengers directly to the heart of the
town, and the time saved will be
some considerable, as the long slow
trip around the pond will be unneces-
sary.

SESSION OF COURT.
Orphans Court Business and Ap-
peal aSes.

OAph"hs SVuTt u uS1neS9 an q a d.
peal 1ases.
Monday there was session of Or.
phans' Court and Court of Common
Pleas, Judge Hoagland presiding, as
sociating with him Judges Hendee
and Ludlam.
In the morning there was consider.
able Orphans Court business disposed
of. Lawyer Samuel W. Belden, of
Camden, appeared here, and asked
the privilege of filing the exceptions
In the partial account of Mrs. Ella 81.
P. Hawkins, Executrix OF the late
Thomas Hawkins. The lawyer ap-
peared for Mary E Bird, a daughter
of the Executrix.
Mr.. Belden declared that he had
misunderstood the practice of the
Court, and thought he yet had time to
file exceptions, but Col. Potter, who
represented Mrs. Hawkins. resisted
his petition, claiming that his time
had expired, and the account now filed
by his client could not be re-opened.
The matter was argued at length by
both sides and the Court said deci.
sion would be rendered on the third
OF April, when the Court would be In
session.
Then the matter of the estate
of the late David Rose came up.
This estate, has, in some way or other,
been before the Courts of Cumberland
County for some seven years. James
j. Reeves Is executor of the estate, and
he has been ordered by the Court to
have his account filed by this time.
Col. Potter yesterday asked for more
time for Mr.. Reeves, as owing to the
peculiar nature of the estate 1t was
impossible to settle the estate.
w. Il. Bacon thought that the es
tate should be settled. He had asked
time and again for the money due his
client and thought that Mr.. Reeves
should have been able to settle the
estate.
The Court ordered final settlement
at the May term.
The Court will meet again on Tues
day, April ID, when the petit jurors
for the May term will be drawn.

brief meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citi-

of the lack of drainage at the village pub
lie school, The unsanitary condition arts
ing from the want of a sewer along Grant
and 18th streets was declared to be the
greatest nuisance In Mt. Pleasant. 1t was
rointed out that the filth collects on Grant,

as to endanger the health of the whole

The committee on sewers was instructed
to again call the attention of the health
office to the matter, and to urge the Dis
trict Commissioners to sewer the streets
at the earliest practicable day. The COM
mittee on streets was instructed to request
the Commits sionerS to extend School street

Commissioners TO change the name of the
new school from buchanan to MT.

was directed to ask the Commissioners to
suspend the work of fitting the new school
house with the Smead system of heating

A Washington Doys Comes Back to
Congress From New York.

Washington has no chance to elect

of the District, but the tide of political
fortune turned Tuesday toward the dis

Der VINO knows the city, who has lived
among its people, who was educated here,
and who believes in Washington as one of
the most glorious places in the world. This
is Mr.. Ben. l.. Fairchild, who was Tues
day chosen fer Congress by the good peo-
pie of the sixteenth district of New York.
Mention of Mr.. Fairchild's candidacy has
already been made in The Star, with
note of the fact that he lived here during
most of his life, and graduated from the
Columbian Law School. For a few wears
he has been practicing law in New York
city and living at Pelhamville, n. Y, IN
West Chester county. The sixteenth New

Ryan, Mr. Fairchild's opponent in this cleo
ton, by 1000 majority. The extent of the
success of this young Washingtonian will
be seen from the following telegram, which
was sent TO The Star this morning by his
brother:
Sixteenth congress sional - Fairchild, by
from 1000 to 5000. Victory"
This indicates a republican gain of from
11,5OO to 1880 votes. MIR Fairchild at
tracted national attention during his can
vass by a most artistic folder that he scat
tered through his district. 1t presented to
voters the question: Under which flag do
you voter" and illustrated the significance
of the query by displaying an American
nag run to the masthead, lined with pa
triotic sentiments, opposed by black flag
with the shibboleths of the enemy, being
run down. Under the American flag was
the picture of an eagle, and beneath the
black pennant, which lifted from the page,
-crouched the figure of a tiger. 1t is said
that this folder, which was drawn by Mr..
John f. Fairchild, graduate of the Wash
ington High School, won for the republican
candidate many hundreds of votes.
