Died of a Broken Heart.

Captain George S. Raymond, for
nearly half a century the general
freight agent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Pier No. I, North River.
New York city, died Saturday night,
at 7 clock, at his home in Borden
town, of broken heart, three hours
after he attended the funeral of his
favorite daughter, Louise RAYMOND.
He was prostrated with grief at the
funeral and after a sparse supper was
seized with convulsions and in a
short time expired.
Captain Raymond was tenderly at
tached to his daughter, and what
time he could spare from his business
he devoted to her welfare, takingh her
atiutervalsto the South and the West
ern coast. He was fearful OF her
death and frequently stated to near
friends that his daughters death
would hasten his own.
Captain Raymond, who was 85
years of age, was well known among
the prominent railroad men of this
country, being the oldest railroad
man in the United States in active
service. Notwithstanding his Office
desk and his home were 65 miles
apart, he never missed a day in New
York nor failed to eat his late dinner
at his home in Bordentown.
He started in the railroad business
as youthful clerk and was the col
lector of the Delaware & Raritan
Canal Company before he became at
tached to the freight department of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. He re-
fused all overtures for retirement,
preferring to continue in the harness.
He leaves three children.

Mile A Minute.

Speaking of the running Of trains
at mile a minute speed, an expert
in these matters said to the Saunter-
er yesterday -
see by reference to a published
statement that the fastest train in the
country will be put on the road be-
tween New York and Saratoga. Ac
cording to the leaving and arriving
time, its speed is not a mile minute,
but little over forty-nine miles an
hour. The sixty minute flyer on the
Pennsylvania Railroad to Atlantic
City it much faster.
The regular schedule time of the
Pennsylvania Railroads s Atlantic
City Flyer, last summer, was sixty
five miles an hour from Camden to
Winslow Junction, and seventy five
miles an hour from the latter point to
Absecon.
There are two trains between
Philadelphia and New York on the
Pennsylvania Railroad s regular
schedule that makea faster run every
day in the year. The Business Man s
Express, leaving Philadelphia at
7.33 in the morning, is scheduled at
46.S3 miles per hour, while its mate,
the 4 90 p. M. from New York, an
initiates time at the rate Of so. 40
miles per hour All things consider
ed, these two trains are really the
fastest regular trains in the country,
and on sections of the road, notably
between New Brunswick and Tren-
ton, their scheduled speed is consid-
cradle over a mile a minute The
sustained rate of speed, by the way,
on all express trains of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad between New York,
Philadelphia, and Washington, is full
ly as high as that on any other rail
road. Taking thirty five trains in
this group, the lowest rate of speed
per hour is forty one and a fraction,
while all of the others range from
forty four to fifty miles per hour.

Final Blow at Racing

The AntiGambling amendmentto
the Constitution, adopted in 1897,
has now run the gauntlet of all the
Courts of the State, and has in every
instance been declared legally adopt
ed. The final decision was rendered
on Monday by the Court of Errors
and Appeals. The opinion was
handed down by Judge Dixon, and
it sustains the decision of the Su-
preme Court, excepting in the in
stance where it declared that the Su
preme Court, at the instance of a cit
izen of the State, has not the power
to review by certiorari the determine
ton of the State Board of Convas-
sers, Notwithstanding the proclama-
ton of the Governor. Judge Dixon
holds that the Supreme Court has
that power.

Reform School Chapel.

The Advance, in a history of the
Chapel, makes six columns of very
readable matter. From this we note
in condensed form the following
facts
Hon. John d. Buckelew is the
only living member of the first Board
of Trustees and was present at the
dedication of the Chapel.
At the breaking of the ground for
the chapel the whole populace were
gathered on the site, and every per
son capable of lifting a shovel of dirt
participated in the breaking of the
soil. The first shovel full was taken
out by Miss Lucia Otterson, daughter
of the Superintendent, the second by
Miss Flossie Shemeley, the only one
present who was born at the School,
the third by Miss Mary Donahay,
who has been longest in the employ of
the School. and then came theothers.
This was Aug. 4th, 1893
On September 27th, 1898, the cor
ner stone was laid, and June I4th,
1899, the completed chapel was dedi-
Gated.
Last Sunday, June 18th, was held
the first Sabbath service in the new
chapel. Rev. J. E. Curry, of the
First Presbyterian Church, of Gran
bury, conducted the Protestant ser
vice and Rev Thos. B. Nolan, of St.
James Church, Jamesburg, conduct
ed the Catholic service.
Efforts to get an appropriation for
a chapel were made first in 1882.
Says The Advance: The singing
in our Chapel on Dedication-day was
the finest we have ever heard on our
premises. Every one-adu1ts and
boys-seemed to try and do their best
during the services and in SO doing
made them notable. In addition to
our regular home talent, they were
assisted in couple of selections by a
chorus of volunteers from Helmetta
and Jamesburg. Their rendering of
the Lords Prayer was never before
equalled in this neighborhood, and
every one was greatly impressed and
delighted with their execution of the
difficult music. The following were
the volunteers:
From Helmetta-Milton I. Voor-
hees, John A. Johnson, John S..
Johnson, Arthur H. Clemons, John
Linstedt. From Jamesburg-Rev.

New Jersey Farmers

Washington D. c., June 2I.-
Conditions of agriculture in New
Jersey were discussed by Franklin
Dye, of Trenton before the Industrial
Commission this morning, Mr. Dye
is head of the Farmers Institute of
New Jersey and has made study of
the theory as we'll as the practice Of
farming. The agricultural labor of
the state is largely done by Hungar-
ians, Swedes and Germans, the wit
ness said. Owing to the cheapness
of freight rates to the seaboard the
small New Jersey farmer is put in
ruinous competition with the large
land owner and wheat raiser of the
west, and the result is that New Jersey
land is worth but afraction ofwhat it
once was. Farm labor in New
Jersey receives from S25to $50
when they board themselves or
from SI2 to SIS a month when
they board and lodge with their en-
ployers. The Jewish, Mormon and
Italian colonies in various parts of the
state are fourishing. As rule, the
immigrants that settle in New Jersey
are much lower, morally and socially
than the American farm laborers, but
are generally quick to learn Ameri-
can methods This is more true of
the Germans and Swedes than the
Italians and Hungarians. Very few
colored men are found in the state,
but the witness believes they will be
welcomed as hands by the majority
of farmers.

Remarked After 90 Years.

Quite an interesting little incident
in which the facts are as reported
occurred at Buddtown, n. J., fort
night ago. About forty years ago
Postmaster, ]. B. Woolman, was
married to lady by the name of
Annie d. Ivory, of Burlington. After
a time a difference arose between
them which was Increased by mis-
guided friends and resulted in a
separation and finally a divorce.
Mrs. Woolman went South and in
due time married a doctor by the
name of H. G.. Lungren, from Phila-
delphia. Mr. Woolman also married
again and about year ago his wife
died. Mrs. Lungren S husband died
about twenty years ago. A daughter
by the first wife of Mr. Woolman,
who had been living in New York
till Mrs. Woolman died but has been
home ever since attending to the
household duties for her father, has
been having communication with
Mrs. Lungren, her mother, who has
been living in Florida of late, and
awakened desire between mother
and daughter to see each other again
50 great that Mrs Lungren came on
for that purpose. When Mr.. Wool
man met her the old affection was re
kindled SO strongly that he again
made a proposal of marriage which
was accepted at once, and SO on
Sunday two weeks ago a quiet little
wedding took place at the groom s
home.-Burlington Co. Democrat.

ROLL OF THE DEAD.
MRS. F. W. OSBORNE.

The people of the borough were
somewhat shocked on Monday night
to hear that Mrs. F. w. Osborne,
visiting at the home of Mr.. Harry
Plummer, bad been found dead in
her bed.
The facts are, that Mr. and Mrs.
Osborne have been living in Helm
eta for three years past, but the hus-
band having left his place with the
Helme Company, had left Mrs,
Osborne at Mr.. Plummer's home
while he sought new position. Os-
borne went to Philadelphia on Thurs
day of last week, and though he has
since written of his prospects, failed
to state his address. Mrs Osborne
became i'll on Monday morning and
DR.. Zandt was called. She was suf-
fering from heart trouble and a can
cerous affection, but did not seem to
bemortally i'll. On Monday evening,
at o'clock, the family returned from
their several occupations and found
Mrs. Osborne dead in her bed. In
the other side of the house lives Mr..
John Erickson, and to his family the
news was a great shock. Mrs.
Erickson had heard the woman call
to her dog about four o'clock, but
heard nothing and knew nothing
of anything serious until the death
was announced Apparently Mrs.
Osborne had been dead two hours
when found. The burial took place
on Thursday afternoon at $50
o'clock, but up to that time nothing
had been heard from the husband.
The brother of Mrs. Osborne, Mr.
Nightingale, of Philadelphia, came
on Wednesday evening and assumed
the care of the remains.
An aunt and Uncle also came from
Philadelphia.
Mrs. Osborne was 81 years of age
and was born in England, but came
to America FIVE years ago. Her life
was insured for S142.oo, in the
Prudential ms. Co. The remains
were inferred in Fernwood Gene
terry, in the lot of Mr.. Harry Plum
mer.

Ran Its First "Camelback.

The first "camelback" locomotive
ever run on the Pennsylvania Rail
road performed round trip between
Jersey City and Trenton last Satur-
day. The new engine is known as
No. 6o8, and was built at the works
of the company at Juniata, Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is a ponderous piece of
mechanism, weighing II ,ooopounds,
as against the 1 "a 900 pounds of the
standard engine now in general use
on the company system.
No. 6oS came out of the machine
shop last Thursday, and in the light
Of Saturdays run, the officials ex-
press themselves as being highly
pleased with the new engine The
run of ia miles was done within
schedule time, and with a compare
lively economical consumption of
fuel. Two other engines of this type
are in course of construction and will
be used on the Philadelphia and At
lantic City route. No. 6e8 will be
placed on the Jersey City and Phila
delphia route in the course of few
days 1t is under contemplation to
build several more 'camelbacks. -
