AFTERNOON OF BIDDING.
Many Public Sales of Real Estate Saturday
Afternoon.

Afternoon.
When H. L. Tyler, the real estate
auctioneer, stepped in front of the Hotel
Cumberland Saturday afternoon, he had
pretty big afternoons work cut out for
him.
The ninth day of December will go
down as one of the greatest days for the
public sales of real estate ever known in
Bridgeton.
The first important matter was the sale
of the Cumberland Nail and Iron works
property, under direction of special
Master of Chancery George q. Hampton.
This was followed by Receiver John M.
Smalley selling the books of account of
the Iron Company.
Then former Sheriff Reuben Cheesman
became the centre of attraction. Previous
to the expiration of his term, he had ad-
vertised eight sales of real estate for the
ninth OF this month, and every one was
pulled off in the order named. Much of
the property was up in Deerfield town
ship, and bidding for the time was lively,
and the estates were sold to the various
bidders.
When the Sheriff had completed his
bunch of sales, Oscar F. Anderson, as
Trustee in the Bankruptcy proceedings
of Christian F. Krauter, engaged the at
tention of the real estate spectators,
There were twenty-seven parcels Of this
estate TO be sold separately. and bidding
was in most cases pretty lively.
brief description of each property
was read, and the Trustees statement of
encumbrance followed. All of the pro-
perties sold subject to the mortgages and
interest against them, and everyone was
sold. Some of the properties brought a
pretty fair figure.
TWAS just half past four o'clock when
the last property was sold. The auc-
tioneer had been doing consecutive work
for two hours and half.

1t is not at all certain yet that the Mill
vile Traction Company will get fran.
chise to get into Vineland. Up to date,
the Company and the Borough Council
have not come together. The Company
wants two years in which to complete the
road. and Council thinks it should be
done sooner. The Company explains that
owing to the impossibility to secure rails,
it cannot be guaranteed that the road
could be sooner finished. Then there is
a contention concerning the rails. Vine
land wants fiat or SIP rails, wagon gauge,
while the company in Millville is using
the ST" rail, standard railroad gauge.
The Borough Council is to make care
full investigation of the matter before
adopting any ordinances.

Carpenters and Joiners', Timers and

Barbers' Union, Clerks Union, and some
members of the cigar trade. There are
now about fifty delegates entitled to
membership in the Central Body, each
trade being allowed three delegates for
every fifty or less of its membership, and
one delegate for every twenty-five or
fraction over fifty. The delegates of the
Central Body now represent, by careful
estimate between eighteen hundred and
two thousand wage earners of this city.
