The bids for the 500, 600, 900 Gov.
eminent bonds for gold were opened on
Wednesday and showed that there had
been G,677 bids amounting 10 about 81
times the amount needed. They rang.
ed from LOG to 1892 The Woods
town bank asked for So, 200 at the high
est bid and the Salem National Bank
offers to take $500 for Sis. The
large amount of bids show there is more
gold In the country than there vas
thought to De and the willingness of the
people to give 1t up for bonds shows
that they have confidence that the Ad-
ministration will keep the country on a
gold basis and that they have lost hope
of 1t going to a premium so they could
gain thereby. 1t would have been more
patriotic for these vast horders of gold
to have exchanged 1t for notes without
interest bearing bonds, as the Treasury
contained s17O, TIA, 376. 90 on Feb. LIST,
SAT, 1855, OLE 81 being gold and the bal
aDc being silver and notes. The laws
are all wrong which require such anan-
clering.

The State Treasurer's report shows
that those newspaper publishers who
were fortunate enough to have the poll.
tical pull to get the laws to print re-
ceived about $1,000 for their political
snap. 1t cost Sal ,511.13 to publish
the laws and joint resolutions made by
last years legislature, which amount is
larger than ever before expended for a
like purpose. Some Of the pagers are
now ~squealing because the law was re-
pealed. The time to kick was last fall
at the legislators when they were up
for reelection but they did not, as they
understand the game. The law was
repealed to make a big show of econ
my before election. A bill has been
introduced to give them back the laws

In another column we publish the
statement Of receipts and expenses fol
u. P. Neck Township. BY referring
to last years statement we find the AS
SCISSOR received for assessing in 1894
$102. 95 and Collector sos. 80, which
included handling the Borough scloo
money for four months. This year the
assessor gets $134, 10 and the collector
$126. AZ. The increase is caused by the
new law passed last winter allowing
assessors and collectors a per centage
on the amount Of property assessed.
This increase, which was uncalled for
and not needed, entails about $50 extra
tax on that small township, which is
equivalent to / per cent. on all the prop
erty. The State Comptoller's report
shows that the total valuation taxable
in this State is $7s6, 99S, 070. One per
cent. addition to the rate for this in
crease of assessors and collectors fees,
by the legislature of 1894. shows that
an uncalled for and unnecessary tax OF
$500, $50. 70 has been imposed upon
the people of this State. Reforms come
high but we must have them.

I2OtIa LEGISLATURE.

1ZOth Legislature.
The lawmakers began the fifth week
of the session Oh Monday night and adj
journed Tuesday afternoon for the
week. The Senate adopteda resolution
for a commission of eight to revise and
consolidate the Borough laws.
Gov. o. Terrell and forty one mem
bers of the Virginia Legislature, who
came to see jerseys stone roads were
entertained at the Trenton House and
welcomed in the Capitol where compli-
mentary speeches were made on Tues
day.
Owing to the rumors that an "hOn'
est racing law" like the New York
law would be brought up this session
Rev. Evard Kempshall, President OF
the State Citizens League, got Senator
Voorhees, to push the anti-race track
resolution passed last year to amend the
constitution. 1t is customary to adopt
such resolutions when presented but to
the surprise of many it was referred to
the judiciary committee, notwithstand-
ing MIR. DAILY, the Democratic leader,
urged that it be adopted at once. Inc
anti-race track people think there is a
trick in it to either prohibit its passage
or the adoption of the constitutional
amendments this year so the race track
men can be used for another election
similar to last fall. Mr.. Kempshall has
expressed his surprise at the Legisla
ture's delay in passing the constitution
| al amendment, and if the Judiciary
| committee does not report the resolu
ton next week he has asked for a hear
ing of the citizens. 1t is announced
| that the resolution is in more danger
than its advocates think, as the race
track men are continually demanding
the redemption of the pledges which
they claim they received last fall in re-
| turn for their votes and assistance IN
electing a Republican Governor.
Senator Rogers introduced a bill to
appropriate $3.50, 600 for an armory in

which was knocked out by the Supreme
court last year. 1t abolishes the lay
Judges and makes one Judge for each
county to be appointed by the Govern
or. The salary for Salem county Will
be 50, 900. Mr.. Rogers introduced a bill
to prohibit a man from signing for more
than one license,

PROBABLE WRECK AVERTED.

HORSE WEDGED IN RAILROAD TIES.
The Cars Stopped on a High
Embankment.
Lives Of Hundreds Of Passengers Were in
Great Peril but Charles Coppock's Prcs-
epce Of. Mind, Prevented a Catastrophe--
=. The Hero Citizen of Chester.

Chester, Pa, Nov. 12. THE vigi-
lance of Charles Coppock, a member
of the Chester Board of Health, un-
doubtedly prevented frightfpl ac-
cident tonight. Mr.. Coppock came
from Philadelphia on the Wilmington
accommodation, due here at Z. .01, and,
for short cut, walked over the Phila-
telphia, Wilmington & Baltimore rail-
road bridge spanning Chester creek.
On the west side he met three horses
gallopipg mady. up the track towards
| the. hridga and yainly endeayored to
stop them. They passed with rush,
but rs they reached the bridge two of
the horses turned aside.
The third horse galloped on the
|. bridge. and. fell through the ties, be-
coming firmly wedged there.
Mr., Coppock drove the other two
horses off the; track and ran back to
| the crossing tencer, whom he informed
of the accident. The latter seized his
lantern and ian down the track and
arrived Just in time to stop the Will
mington express, which was coming at
a. lively speed. and would not have been
able to stop in. time to avoid striking
| the Nurse. .s...t-. ~
Had the engine struck the horse il
would probably. have been derailed and
| plunged the cars down 20-feet en-
banlment. The police, under Sergeant
Meath, took charge of extricating the,
horse, and after an hours hard work
got it out of the ties with ropes and
block. In the meantime the express
was switched on the southbound track
and passed the obstruction.
. The horse was. the. PAGER Maggie
May, with record of 2.20, belonging
| to William II: May of this city, and
was in foal. . The other two horses
we're a yearling and 2-yeartold colt Of
| the PAGER Saladip and were uniniured.
The horses, escaped from Mays stock

Cargo of Explosives.

/ The largest cargo of explosives ever
shipped from the United States will

steamship Victoria, which anchored off
Thompson's Point, N. j., on Friday.
The consignment consists OF 800, 900
pounds of dynamite cartridges, to be
used in the Chihuahua silver mines
of Mexico. They are to be landed by
the Victoria at Tampico, from which
port to their destination they will be
carried on the backs of mulesi the
lofty mountain passes. With this risk
in view they have been packed with
especial care. Should the Victoria
strike a coral reef on her way south
there would be no necessity for wreclSers
going to her assistance, as all evidence
Of her existence would be thing Of
