week to party at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Crays, in Perth, for Fri
day evening, Feb. 22nd, 1895. Of
course we went-we and our girl-and
of course we had a great time.
Everyone who visits at the Rock
Island has a fine time. Fifty or more
guests were present. At eleven or
shortly thereafter refreshments, con-
sisting of various kinds of sweet
meats and tarts were served. A few
minutes after lunch short program
was announced and carried out. This
was something new-new to us
and it was certainly a success. We
think it would be good idea to con-
tinue this feature at all the parties
in future. The literary program was
interspersed with songs, comic and
serious, and instrumental music. But
enough Of this. 1t was very enjoy
able occasion to all present and we
are longing for another social evening
as pleasant. Let us not forget to say
that the party was given for Mr..
Lewis Crays who had come down from
his home in Burton on a visit of a
week or so, the occasion being the
birthday of Mr.. G. W. Crays as well
as the Father of our country"

tion and Commissioner of Deeds. He

There was special session of Cum
berland Courts Thursday morning,
with Judge Roagland presided, with
Lay Judges Hendee and Ludlam pre-
siding.
There was dull hour spent without
any business being presented to the
Court whatever. The delsy was
caused by the non-arrival of some
papers in criminal cases from Vine
land, without which the Prosecutor
could not proceed with some cases
that he was desirious OF moving.
Three prisoners were brought In
from jail, and pleaded guilty as fol-
lows:
Edward Stevenson, foundation.
Theodosia Lewis, fornica ton,
John Callahan, assault and battery
upon William Palmer.
The Court Immediately sentenced
the trio.
Stephenson and Lewis were sem
fenced to Jail for six months.
The Court told Callahan that the
reports from him had been uufavor-
able, and sentenced him to State
Prison for one year, and thence until
fine and costs are paid.

Bridgeton is a Republican city. 1t
Is still true to protection and reform
All the tricks of Democracy had no
effect. Republicans were successful
la all the wards, with here and there
an exception, i've Democrats being
elected in the entire town.
1t was dull day. The atmosphere
seemed to be charged with political
interest, and the vote was the largest
polled In the spring for long time, If
ever, and In fact was larger than last
fall, and the Republican vote compares
most favorably.
The next Governor must be Repub.
lican.
There were local fights of course,
but the great majority of the people
voted the Republican ticket. Contact
with them showed that the Republi-
cans intend carrying the State.
In the First ward there was a great
deal of interest taken. Enos Glaspell
for Freeholder, and Richard Morris
for Assessor were defeated. The Sec
ond precinct gave the entire ticket
majority, but there was some cutting
in the First precinct. Mr.. Glaspell
had a big fight. There was nothing
to be said against Mr.. Elwell. Isaac
T. Nichols, Samuel M. Hall and Coro-
ner Elsmore Sites were out working
hard for the success of the Demo-
cratic candidate.
William T. Dubois, Independent
candidate for Assessor, polled just
enough votes to elect the Democratic
candidate for three years.
In the Second ward there was a
bitter contest against Councilman
Sooy, and he went down under the
heavy storm. He was the only man
beaton by the Democrats, and was un-
mercifully knitted by Republicans
In the Third ward the Democrats
centred their entire fight against
Councilman Elmer. There was much
money used against him, and he was
misrepresented in every particular, but
he won splendid fight and Is receiv-
ing earnest congratulations.
In the Fourth ward everything was
plain sailing and the entire ticket re.
ceived handsome majoritles.
In the Third ward there was bitter
contest for Justice of the Peace, and
Jos. H. Powell managed to get three
plurality.
City Treasurer Hitchner Is what Sam
can be called now. His vote was mag
nifcent, receiving plurality of $50 In
the town, carrying every ward and
precinct.
The Populists did mot make the
showing expected. John M. Lippin.
cott, the Populist idol In the First
ward, is not as handsome this morn
Ing as he was, but he knows consid-
erably more. He was the lowest of the
three candidates and yet before the
close of the polls, he confidently ex.
pected to win. In the other wards the
Peoples Party candidates cut no
figure.
1t was q great victory. 1t would
have been greater but for the tseach.
cry of some. In the Second ward Nhere
were many Republicans who refused
to vote for Mr.. Sooy, and the defeat ol
Glaspell can be charged directly Va
