On Friday evening last the members and
friends of st. Peters church at Clarksboro,
assembled at the rectory to commemorate
the 10Th anniversary of their Rector's COM
ing to the Parish. As usual, it was very
happy gathering, and absolutely free from
any formality. About one hundred per-
sons, great and small, assembled, and as
the whole Rectory was surrendered to them
there was ample room for all During the
evening there was some musical renderings,
Aeolian and individual, and Mr., Richard
J. Hofner, of Gloucester City, the we'll
known elocutionist, gave some of his ANUS
ing readings. Mr.. and Mrs. John s. Bat
ten and daughter, of Swedesboro, who on
the preceding evening had given de-
lightful reception TO the Rev. Mrs. and
Mr.. Edmund J. Burk, were present in to-
ken of the renewal of ancient relationship
between the two venerable parishes. Mr..

company. Three of the young bachelors
of the neighborhood attracted good deal
of feminine attention. They were Mr.. Geo.
Weatherby Sickler, Mr.. Jesse B. Reed and
Mr.. VIM. Brown, who brought their nearest
relatives with them, and did not, as is too
often the case with young men, desert them
for other feminine attractions. This is the
twentieth OF these happy reunions, for the
first was held on October 5, 1873, the night
of the rector's arrival to enter upon his
work here, and they have been continued
eyer since:
1t was Mr.. Burk's expectation to surren-
der his University work this Fall, on ac-
count of weakened health, but as that has
been SO largely restored during the last
summer he has consented to continue in
office, the University having literally
agreed to make his duties less onerous and
with less demands upon his time.

Democratic County convsntIon.


/ Pursuant to call, the Delegates to the
County Democratic Convention re- assem-.
bled on Saturday last to nominate can.
didate for County Clerk.
Chairman Sickler called the Convention
to order soon after o'clock, and sixteen Of
the nineteen townships responded, the alb
seDtees being Clayton, Elk and GlassbOro
The roll was called for nominations and
West Deptford nominated John NJ. Hem
derson. of Woodbury., and Msntus named
Joseph Lodge, OF Pitman Grove.
Before the vote was taken, Mr.. Glover,
in speech, said the Democratic party was
thoroughly anti-monopolistic in its princi-
Piles and tendencies, the candidate for AS
sembly had already been selected from
Woodbury., and he did not believe it wise
to name Woodbury. man for County
Clerk. Further, it would not be fair to
balance of the county. Mr.. Lutz said that
Mr.. Henderson was not in the Convention,
and he was opposed to nominating candi-
date who was not present to accept.
The roll was then called and the vote of
every township and ward was cast for Mr..
Lodge, and on motion his nomination was
made unanimous.
Mr.. Lodge was then brought before the
Convention and in accepting the nomina-
ton said in part
Dir. Chairman and Gentlemen of The Con-
veution: 81 thank you for the honor you
have so unanimously bestowed, and /
gratefully accept the nomination. The Of
fee for which you have named me is the
custodian of the records of all the real
estate in our county, and has to do with
interests varied and important, hence its re-
lation to the people is more of business
than political nature. Therefore if elect
ed I shall consider the position one of pub
lie trust, and administer the affairs there
of ever mindful of the fact that I am a
servant of the public"
Referring to the CANVASS which proceeds
The election, Mr.. Lodge said: LAS recall
my boyhood days, 1 recollect that could
do more and better work for our neighbors
for nothing than for my father for pay, and
in this canvass would have preferred to
work for another than for myself, but as
you have decided otherwise, l will enter
upon its labors relying upon your aid and
assistance to make it successful one"
After brief speech by DIR. w. A.
Glover, the Convention adjourned

LINCOLN's DAUGHTER ELoPEs.
Course OF True Love Would Not BE
Diverted,

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Miss Jessie Lin
coin, granddaughter of the martyred
president, and only unmarried daugh-
ter of Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, eX-
minister to England, elOped last night
with Warren Beckwith, of Mount
Pleasant, 10. They went to Milwau-
kee, where they were married Last
week Miss Lincoln arrived suddenly
in Chicago from Mount Pleasant, To-,
where it was expected she would spend
the winter in company with her
mother at the home of the latter's
father, ex-senator Harlan, of Iowa.
Miss Lincoln is a bright and beauti-
full girl of about tWenty-one years of
age. Among her most intimate friends
at Mount Pleasant was Warren Beck
with, whom she has known from her
earliest years. Mr.. Beckwith is the
son of a wealthy business man Of the
Iowa town. Young Beckwith has been
very attentive to Miss Lincoln, and
that she reciprocated his devotion was
remarked. That the young couple were
secretly engaged was known only to
their intimates.
Before opportunity came to consult
Lincoln here it was made very mani
fest to the young man that his suit
would not be accepted by the family
of the object of his devotions. After
celebrating over this unfortunate sit
uation for long time the young peo-
pie decided upon a secret marriage.
The day was set for the latter part of
last week. A couple Of young friends
were taken into the confidence of the
couple and the preliminaries were ar
ranged, but an indiscreet remark gave
the relatives of the young woman an
inkling of the affair. The bride to be
was Immediately whisked off to Chi
cago. Young Beckwith followed his
lady love to Chicago, resulting in the
elopement.
When the rumors of the elopement
first became circulated, even Mr.. Lin
coin did not give them credence. At
midnight. however, he confessed that
his daughter had just arrived at the
house from hurried trip to Milwau-
kee, where she was married to Mr..
Beckwith. The young husband did not
accompany his wife to her home, but
stayed the night at q hotel. 1t is

STATES ATTORNEY ROBBED.
Evidence Against Prisoner Pur-
Joined In Open Court

CHARLESTON, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-THE
sensational case of Attorney Alfred
c. Ficklin was brought to a dramatic
close this afternoon by his being sent
to the insane asylum. Ficklin is the
son of the late Orlando B. Ficklin.
who married a sister of Alfred c. Col
quit, late governor of Georgia. Flick
lin, the elder, was we'll known all over
the West. He was Can intimate friend
of both Lincoln and Dougl as, and was
in congress with them, as the Lincoln
Douglas debates will show Among
other things, Alfred acted as broker
for some rich people, lending their
money out and paying the interest as
it became due. IF After a long time. 1t
was learned, it us said, by the merest
accident, that the notes were forgeries.
The grand jury found fifteen indict-
ments against Ficklin, and the cases
came to trial this week. The first case
was proved clearly, but, by a blunder
of the states attorney in copying the
Indictment, in which, a note was mis-
Paris, ordered the jury to send in a
verdict of acquittal, which was DONE
The next case was called, and, while
it was in progress, the states attor-
ney made the astounding statement
that he had been robbed in open court
and all the forged notes stolen. There
was a dramatic scene enacted, but no
one was able to find the notes, and
the case on trial went the way of the
first Then, with eleven indictments
left, the states attorney obtained a
continuance until the January term of
court, in order to try and find the
notes. A c. Ficklin was then tried
for insanity and taken to the Kankakee
asylum.
