Ex-Mayor Hudson was prostrated with
a sudden illness at the Trenton fair one
day last week. He is much better now.
A team of horses belonging to William
Taylor, near Recklesstown, and driven
by boy, took race down Crosswicks
street on their own hook, Tuesday even
ing At Borden street collision occurred
with tree and the street curb when the
hind wheels of the open wagon broke
loose. The team continued with the rem
nants of the wagon to Farnsworth avenue
where they were stopped. With the aid
of wheelwright repairs we're soon made
A thief entered the residence of Thomas
Wharton, on Mary street, during the alb
sence of the family, on Thursday evening.
Clarence Wharton, the sixteen year-old
son, during the evening entered the house
and went to his room, on the third floor,
to change his clothing, and, in doing so,
sat upon the edge of the bed, when he
heard something strike the wasbboard, as
though some one was moving his feet I'M
der the bed. Jumping up and taking a
lighted lamp from a stand, he placed it
upon the floor and stopped down and
peered under the bed, and beheld a man
in crouched position. Young Wharton
at once grabbed his pistol, and as he did
so the man rolled from under the bed and
partly slid and partly rolled down two
flights of stairs, knocking over basket of
clothes, and succeeding in getting away
by back door and scaling fence in the
rear of the house. Young Wharton sent
two bullets after him as he was going
down stairs. He says he thinks one of
the bullets must have caught him, as he
fails to find marks where either bullet
struck. He describes the man as being
short and thick set, wearing black cloth
ing, dark shirt and cap. Not a word
passed between young Wharton and the
robber

The election officers start out to-day tc
make their yearly canvass of voters, and
those who feel interested in the fall cleo
ton should give this matter some atten
ton. Every voter owes it as duty tc
himself to see that his name is properly
recorded on the registry list, as the can
vassers are not infallible. There are many
ways by which name may be omitted
in spite of the house to house canvass
made by the election officers. Here is an
instance: Last year Democrat living on
Water street told the election officers thai
he was the only voter living in that par
ticular house. This was deemed salts
factory answer to the usual question or
the subject, but when election day came
around, the officers of the first dlstrIc

vote because the man was not registered
The Republican lived in the same house
with the Democrat. By examining tht
register such tricks can be detected, anC

New York Commercial Advertiser
Dealers in bicycle sundries say that the
demand for cyclometers is increasing re-
markedly. A cyclometer can scarcely be
included among the necessaries of cycling
life. yet it is certainly one of the most i'm
portant of the Injuries, and adds materially
TO the pleasure of cycling, whether the rider
be a scorcher or tourist. There are cases
in which it may be set down as little short
of a necessity. For example, when touring
in districts where there are no guide posts
or milestones, a cyclometer will be of great
help in making use of a map. The rider
sees by his map that so many miles from
such and such a point he has TO turn to
the left. Unless he knows the distance he
has travelled he cannot tell whether or not
he has arrived at the right turning point
1t is impossible TO get a cyclometer to reg
lister mileage with absolute accuracy
Everyone knows this. II is usually adVis-
able TO test the instrument over a known
distance TO ascertain now much it is out
not to be expected, however, that any cy-
clometer Will be as accurate as the surveyor
with his mathematical instruments. No rid
er can steer an absolutely straight course
and even the hardness to which the tire is
pumped will make a slight difference in the
distance it travels with each revolution of

CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE
MANY c., s. & III. ". MILEAGE BOOKS
IN THE HANDS OF SCALPERs.
Worth Nothing to People Who Pur-
chase Them-Big Four and other
Roads VIII Not Accept the Books.

1t is said the Columbus Sandusky &
Hooking Valley road has for some weeks
been selling it's mileage book. which was
interchangeable over several roads, at SIS,
and thousands of dollars worth have been
sold to scalpers. The appointment of a re-
ceiver led to the discovery Of the manner
in which the books had been disposed of
and the receiver at once refused to honor
drafts of roads for mileage their conductors
had turned in. E. O. Mccormick, general
passenger traffic manager of the Big Four,
was the first to look into the matter, and
as soon as he learned the condition of things
he notified J. Q. Van Wrinkle general super
intendent, of the fact that the receiver of
the Columbus, Sandusky & Hooking Valley
road declined to pay the mileage coupons
sent in unless in the hands of the real pur-
chaser. AS hundreds Of these books are
known to be in the scaIping offices or in
the hands Of others than the regular pur-
chaser it is Leading to a good deal of trou-
bic. 1t is said there is not broker in
the Central Traffic Association territory
who die not carry a large amount of the
books of this bankrupt road. Cincinnati
scalpers are said to have been the largest
purchasers of this mileage and Chicago,
st. Louis. Louisville, Toledo, Detroit and
books extensively. The mileage held by the
scaIpers or any other person than a regu-
lar purchaser has no show TO recover one
dollar
Mr.. Van Wrinkle stated yesterday that he
did not think there was a division on which
the conductors had not refused to accept
the mileage of the Columbus, Sandusky q
Hooking Valley road. On one train between
Cincinnati and Indianapolis, it is stated,
twelve of these books were offered and not
honored, and the passengers had to pay
money for their fares It probably will be
some days before it will be known how
many of the mileage books of this road
are out, and it is believed that some Of the
scalpers have invested extensively in
them that it will bankrupt them. Nothing
has occurred in railroad circles OF late that
has created such a furry, and as the scalp
ers or holders of the book know the rules
that govern the sale of mileage such peo-
pie have no recourse to recover by law.
The Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton and
the Mouon are pursuing the same course as
is the Big Four The mileage of the Co
lumbus, Sandusky 81 Hooking Valley road
since the action of the receiver became
known, has been offered more freely than
ever, with the intention of getting, if pos
sible, ahead of conductors who, it was
thought, might not yet have received the
orders. On the Big Four thus far all the
passengers offering the book had the money
to pay their fares,
