Owing to the comparative freedom from
internal revolutions in Cuba during the last
decade, American capital has steadily in
creased it's sphere of Investments MANY
owners of large estates placed their build
ings in the hands of promoters who have
formed large stock companies and svndi
Gates, controlled by prominent sugar brok-
ers in this country.
Among the foremost of such concerns is
the Constancia Sugar Company, under the
presidency of Mr. Osgood Welsh, of New
York. Their estate the Constancia. is the
most extensive in Cuba, and only one other
factory (CaracaS) exceeds them in the
amount of sugar turned out in a crop.
This estate was fort nerly owned by the
Marquis de Apeztiguia, but at present
though still holding considerable stock he
is only the resident manager. On his re-
fusai 10 obey the rebel leaders decree for

invitation to call but has done all in his
power to destroy the property. The estate
gives employment to from five thousand to
six thousand people in the occupation of
sugar-making in all its branches. TO pre-
serve the buildings and the lives of the en-
ployes from the attacks of the insurgents

SUICIDE ON CHURCH STEPS.
Unknown Man Blows Out His Brains at
Camden.

CAMDEN, Oct. 5.-An unknown man.
presumably German, committed sui
eide at an early hour this morning by
blowing out his brains on the front steps
of the Roman Catholic Church of the
Immaculate Conception, at Broadway
and Market streets.
The man held the revolver with which
he had killed himself, firmly in his right
hand. The pistol was five barreled
weapon, but there were only three cart
ridges in the revolver. There were no
papers in his possession, and he had but
twenty four cents about him.
The only thing about the body by
which it might be identified was the name
Camp on the cuff of the shirt, with a
laundry mark attached. The man was
we'll dressed, about so years old, and
weighed $50 pounds. He looked like a
prosperous merchant.

AGAINST RACING.
The Executive Appointment Change Ac-
cepted, but Woman Suffrage Re-
jected by at Least O,OOO Majority.


The official vote from the twentv-one
counties of New Jersey was obtainable
Monday, and the result of last weeks
constitutional amendment election was
determinable beyond any further doubt.
The vote was canvassed by the election
judges at the county seats, and the figures
show that the anti gambling amendment
was carried by 737 majority.
The official returns are required to be
forwarded to the Secretary of State at
Trenton, and will probably be in from all
the counties within day or two. Despite
every effort previous attempts to get
exact State returns have proved unavail-
ing. The reason for this is that under the
special election law district boards of
election are not required to file their re-
ports with the Secretary of State at all,
nor with the respective County Clerks
until four days after the election. AS it
was some of the districts had not been
herrd from even as late as Saturday, and
this led to the confusion in estimating the
election returns.
The following table shows the vote as
canvassed on the anti-gambling amend
mont:

BOARD OF FREEHOLDBRs,
The Board Called to Determine What
Shall be Done With the Railroad
on Broad Street Bridge.

Ano Ioaro Cahed TO determine What
Shall be Done With the Railroad
on Broad Street Bridge.
The Board of Freebooter were in session
yesterday, being called together at the
request of the special committee having
charge of the matter of placing on the
Broad street bridge the proposed electric
motor.
AS understood, the situation is like
this: The old South Jersey Traction
Company agreed to place on the Broad
staeet bridge an electric motor for the
purpose of opening and closing of the
draw. This has not been done. 1t will
be remembered that the South JERSEY
Tractlan Company became involved in
financial difficulties. Mortgage was
toreciosed and after some months was
sold out and was bought by the Bridgeton
and Millville Traction Company.
The Board of Freeholders, of course.
insisted that the new company should
carry out the agreement of the South
Jersey Traction Company. The manag-
ers OF the new company had electrical
experts visit here, and it was agreed that
the motor could be operated. The trouble
was that there seemed to be no place to
put the motor. 1t was necessary to have
platform added to the drum. This was
expensive, and the company could not
see that it should furnish place to set the
motor.
The committee of the Board refused to
put up the platform, and through it's
Solicitor, j. II. Fithian, ordered the Trac-
ton Company to stop running it's cars
over the bridge. This order was not
complied with, and the meeting was
called to find out what was going to be
done about it.
When the Director called the meeting to
order he found all the members present,
The call for the special meeting was read,
and Mr.. Hires presented written report
OF the special committee. 1t stated that
| no satisfaction could be gotten from
the Company, and the cars were or
| dered stopped running over the bridge.
Later this notice was recinded. Finally
the Company offered to put in the motor
provided the Board OF Freeholders would
build platform at a cost to the county of
about S400. Then the notice to stop the
cars was served and was not obeyed.
Then the Committee recommended that
the agreement with the company be ter
| minated and the tracks ordered removed
from the bridge.
Mr.. Reeves moved that the report of
the Committee be accepted, and that the
request be adopted.
There were no debates, and the motion
was adopted without dissenting vote.
A resolution was then offered directing
the Company to forthwith remove the
tracks and wires from the bridge.
Before this motion was brought to a vote
Mr.. Bacon was asked for remarks. He
said that the Company was ready to place
the motor in operation, according to the
agreement. The Company claimed that
the Board should provide place for the
motor.
John Cox, President of the Cox Sons
Company said that the only practical way
to locate the motor, was by building a
platform.
The resolution was passed by unani-
nous vote.

fourteen Year Old Lad Walked From
Philadelphia to Bridgeton.
A boy giving his name as Frank
Alloway, was found wandering on the
streets Saturday. by Mr. Y. Paul. The
boy was barefooted, and his clothes were
ragged, and he attracted the attention of
Mr.. Paul SO much that he engaged in
conversation with him.
1t was soon learned that the boy had
run away from his home, wherever that
was. The boy told his tale. He said he
lived with his mother, in, a court off Beck
street, between Queen and Christian, and

phia. His mothers name was Sallie
Alloway.
The boy had walked from Camden to
Bridgeton, and when he arrived here he
had nowhere to go. He is about fourteen
years old, and small for his age. When
picked up by Mr.. Paul, the boy was in a
sad plight, and said he was very hungry.
Mr.. Paul seemed to take liking to the
boys ways, and took him to his home,
at 300 Cohansey street. Here he was
washed up, and a good suit of clothes,
shoes and stockings were given him. He
says he does not want to go home, but
gives no: reason for leaving there.
He likes his new home very we'll, and
wants to stay here, and will probably do
so unless he is sent for. The boy is a
bright lad, and quite mannerly in his
actiOpe
