The Lambert Family.

We last week copied from the Lambert
vile Record brief reference to the Lam
bert family and some speculation as TO
which particular member OF 1t the present
city of Lambertville took its name. Some
contend that the city was named 10 hon.
or of John Lambert, who a century ago
acted prominent part in County, State
and National affairs.
From the historical sketch of Hunter
don county issued in 1878 by George s.
Mott, d. D., Of the Pennington Presby-
terrain Church, we quote:
"Four brothers, Lambert came to New Jersey
and John, settled about three miles from Lam
ber.yilIe, having bought tracts of land each
other. John, a son OF Gershom, born i746, became
prominent man. He was intelligent, sagacious
| and energetic. For many years he was member
of the State Council. From 1898 to 1900 he was
Vice President of the Council From 1900 to 1892
he was President In 1902 and 1903, he was act
ing Governor of New Jersey. From 1905 to 1909
he was member of the House of Represen tatiyes
of the United States. From 500 to 1916 he rep
resen ted this State in the United States Senate
From him the town took its name"
Miss A. F. Rockafellar, OF Pennington,
who is distant relative of the above
spoken of Lambert family. has shown US
a profile view of the old Congressman. 1t
is said TO be an excellent likeness OF its
kind, and is certainly valuable on account
of its age and also as it is SO intimately
connected with one who did much to push
his County and State beyond their infan-
cy and give them a name and rank in the
present grand aggregation. -Hmate,dorl
Democrat.

Buncoed Out OF 5000.

We find the following dispatch from
Pennington to the daily papers of last
Friday: James Emmons, wealthy
farmer, of White House Station, was
swindled out of S., 900 on Tuesday. Two
men came to bis house and said they had
valuable farm mortgages to sell cheap, as
they needed meney to pay a note due.
The mortgages purported TO cover Hun
terdon county farms which Emmons knew
Of Emmons went to the bank at Somer-
Vile, drew out So, 900 and started home,
where the men were waiting. They
promised TO accompany Emmons to Flem-
ington to have the transfers made, and
before starting Emmons gave them the
money and they handed him the mort
cages. The '.buncoers" then gave him
tin box, which they locked, keeping the
key.
The strangers left, promising to return
in the afternoon. Emmons received a
letter next day containing the key. The
letter read "Open the box, but don't
tell people. They will think you fool. u
When Emmons opened the box he found
in 1t two blocks. Emmons is rich and
something of miser.

The outlook is that this will be the
longest session of the Legislature in New
Jersey. The session has continued since
January 10Th, and has just ended the 10th
week. 1t may adjourn this week on a
long recess and it may not. Unless the
wheels of the Legislature move mare
smoothly it will continue for several
weeks. On Thursday night the opinion
prevailed among some OF the Senators
that it would be at least May 10th before
they could accomplish all the important
legislation that has been mapped out.
Then they will take a recess until Sep
tembcr. Whether they will ever have oc.
casion to be reconveued is not known at
this time.
The longest session of the Legislature
was in 1890, when nineteen weeks were
occupied in attending to State matters.
This was the year of the Stuhr Melon
aid investigation, and the last six weeks
the Legislature did practically nothing
because of the investigation.
II the adjournment takes place this
year on May 9th it will be session Of
nineteen weeks without a sine die ad
iournment, aud in that way II will be-
come the longest session on record. AS
is well known, the eRtire time OF the Leg
islature has not been occupied with legls-
lation The deadlock, which continued
for ten weeks, to some extent obstructed
the work. The House went along doing
what was assigned to il, but the Senate
was poweress.
So far 101 laws have been enacted.
The Governor still has many bills in his
possession for his consideration. The
Governor is signing bills right along, but
so far no partisan acts have been approved
by him, excepting those acts that were
passed by the House and Senate during
the deadlock, which he refused TO receive
and allowed to become laws by filing
with the Secretary Of State few hours
after the Supreme Court had rendered its
decision. 1t is expected that rumber
of vetoes will come during the coming
week.

An equine duel was fought on Sunday
at the Holmdel Farm, Monmouth comfy,
between the well known race horses Gao.
tus and Ramapo. Both horses are owned
by the racing firm of Gideon & DAILY. 1t
is not known how the horses got at each
other, but the fight was fiercely and VIC
iously waged until they were separate d
by j. J. Hyland, the trainer, and the
stablemen. Both horses are stations,
so that experienced horsemen who have
witnessed battle of that description
know how desperately such animals will
fight. Both Ramapo and Cactus were
bitten aud wounded badly. Besides. each
had several marks of the others steel
shod hoofs. 1t is said that the horses
were so severely injured that neither OF
them is likely to see the post until late In
the season.
