dell Brown, the following minute was
adopted
WHEREAS, Almighty God our Heavenly Faith
er, in His wise providence, has taken out of
this world OF suffering our fellow worker in
the Church of Christ to the rest and peace
and blessedness of the people of God, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we express our sincerest sor-
row at the death OF our fellow member and
friend, Charles Wardell Brown, and our keen
sense of the great loss sustained by those to
whom he was most near ana dear and by the
vestry and the parish in his demise ; that We
record our high appreciation OF his sterling
qualities as a man, his conscientious devotion
to public and private duty, and his many vir-
tues and graces, more especially his childlike
faith, his great patience and his Christian
resignation, wherein he seems to have been
made almost perfect through suffering; and
that we extend our heartfelt sympathy to
those who are especially bereaved; praying
that God Who in His infinite love doeth ali
things we'll, may through His gracious Spirit
comfort them and inspire them with resigna-
ton, peace and hope.

MOUNT HOLLY. N. j., April g. 1898.
Hon. WILLIAM J. SEwELL,
Camden, N. j.:
1t is being asserted in our county and
was publicly declared in the Court House
at the hearing before the Freeholders yes
terday that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is interested in the New York
and Philadelphia Traction, and that the
application of the latter is only blind
for the purpose of defeating the Mon
mouth Traction Company. Please tele-
graph me if this is true that the story may
be contradicted If it has no basis in fact.

Death of j. C. Hinchman.

Joseph G. Hinchman, one of the best
known citizens of this county, died at his
home at Taunton, near Medford, yester-
day morning. He had been i'll with
pneumonia for about a week.
Mr.. Hlnchman was 70 years of ago.
Early in life he went to Medford as clerk
in store. In 1857 he purchased the old
mill property at Taunton and entered into
the cultivation of cranberries, increasing
the business until he had an extensive
bog, with probably over 5000 acres under
cultivation at this time. His boys eX-
tend for a distance of seven miles on one
road.
While rapidly amassing property and
wealth Mr.. Hinchman never abandoned
the simplicity of manners and habits
which characterized his early life. He
was always ready to give employment
and extend helping hand to those in
intemperance in his employees.
In addition TO raising berries, Mr..
Hinchman invented several machines for
cleaning and sorting the fruit. Deceased
was not connected with any religious de-
nomination, but inclined to the Society of
Friends, although he greatly aided in the
establishment and support of an Episco-
pal chapel in Medford.
His loss will be greatly felt in Medford,
as he gave employment to many people
who spent nearly all of their earnings in
the town.
Mr.. Hinchman was not married. He
leaves some sisters and brothers. His es-
tate will be quite valuable. His funeral
will take place on Thursday.

Sick poison is a poison which makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stomach.
The stomach makes it out of undigested
food.
The blood gets it and taints the whole
body with it. That's the way of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look after
your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested,
there will be none left in the stomach to
make sick-poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to see to
this properly by itself, help it along with
few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is delicious,
healthful, tonic cordial, made of pure
medicinal plants, herbs and wine.
1t positively cures indigestion and pre-.
vents the formation of sick poison.

charaeterizes the conduct of the private
affairs of members.
A. S. Bullock, of Florence, said there
had been a great deal said about another
company, but had anybody heard of an
offer from second corporation?
This question met with prompt re
sponse from ]. Blair Macafee, who, as g
representative of the New York and Phil
adelphia Traction Company, said he was
prepared to make application for tran
chise before this meeting adjourned.
Ex-senator Parry said this question in
volved three parties. Those who donat'
ed lands for highways. those who have
the right to use the roads and the county
at large The two former are loca
and will take care of their own interests.
The Board of Freeholders 10 the only me
dunn between those who need the trolley
and those who do not. but still want the
use of the road. The person who orig
inally gives land for public use hands II
over free from danger and asks in return
that it be kept in that condition. There
fore a very important point to be consid-
cred in connection with a trolley fran
chise is public safety. 1t appeared to
Senator Parry that the Monmouth Trac
ton Company was beginning just where
it should end. 1t should have secured
the consent of property owners and OF the
various municipalities and then ask the
consent of the county. To grant tran
chise as now desired demands careful IN
vestigation. The people along its line
seem to want it and feel that it should be
granted in any shape, while others, moi
Directing to trolley, want it properly
guarded that the county may not suffer
financially or otherwise. The Board o
Freeholders had entire charge of this
part of the contract, and should carefully
consider it.
J. B. Roney, OF Delanco, who has giver
samples of his eloquence at political con
ventions, made lengthy speech in favor
of the trolley generally and the Mon
mouth Traction in particular. Up to this
time the speeches had been free from
personalities. but Mr.. Roney broke tht
! ice in this respect and made severa
haunting illusions, one of which reflected
upon Mr.. Macafee, representative of tht
New York and Philadelphia Traction
Company. That gentleman promptly anC
properly resented the slur, and Mr.
Roney said he would take it back"
Dr. J. D. Janney, Of Riverton, feared
there was danger of drawing the string
