BOND IHE WARWICK ESTATES.
Earl and Countess Turn Their Prop
erty Into Stock Company.

The fashion recently set by Lord
Montagu of Beaulieu, and his heir,
when they turned themselves with
their assets and liabilities into a joint
stock company, is now being initiated
by the Earl and Countess of Warwick
rhe alleged reason for the previous
operation was desire to avoid the
death duties. In the case of the War
wick estates it is evidently some
thing of more pressing nature that
the debentures now offered for public
subscription are payable, as to three
ffths on the death Of the earl, and as
to the remaining two-tifths on the
death Of the countess. This bust
nesslke couple have entered into ar
engagements to sell their entire sources
of income to a company. to he called
the Warwick Estates Company, Limit
ed, for the sum of e295, 600, payable as
to G215.000 in cash and as to ES0,000
in fully paid shares, the latter COM
prising two-thirds Of the total share
capital Of the company. of which GA
500 is reserved for future issue. The
cash Is to be mainly provided out of
the proceeds of a present debenture
stock issue of G210.000 carrying in
terest at the rate of per cent and
secured by a specific first mortgage to
trustees of the life interest of the earl
in his Warwickshire estates, free
hold etate with colleries in Somerset
shire, and the countess settlements Sc
cured on her Essex and Leicestershire
estates. Insurance policies have been
taken out on the two lives separately,
involving an annual premium charge
upon the company OF G7,750 but Sc
curing the repayment OF the debenture
principal as already mentioned.
The Right Honorable the Earl OF
Warwick heads the list of directors.
He does not produce other than in
ferential testimonials as to his capa-
bilities for managing a property OF this
kind but he will be recollected as hav-
ing figured in some of the Hooley
deals, being chairman OF the Singer
Cycle Company, as we'll as of the MILL

The Bridgeton Telephone Company is

WILL TRY AGAIN.
The Propagation of sturgeon Not Yet
Abandoned.

The Propagation of sturgeon Not Yet
Abandoned.
Experiments have been made in the
propagation of sturgeon. but the results
have not yet been satisfactory, still the
q. s. Fish commission have not given
up the task altogether and experiments
are still being made. At the call of Capt.
George D. Shannon, the boat "Blue
Wing" an auxiliary of the e. s. Steamer
Fish Hawk" now engaged in Matching
shad at Gloucester, came to Bay Side on
two different occasions on the experiment
of propagating sturgeon, on both occa-
sions the fish were in no condition for the
work.
On board the "Blue Wing" with Capt
l.. D. Harvon, were the U. S. Fish Com
mission, Messrs. Morgan, Jones and
Stadley. these are the men in conjunction
with Captain Shannon, are the ones who
are trying the experiment in the interest
of the U. s. Government.
Another attempt to get fish in their
proper condition will be made ut Bay
Side next Monday. 1t is thought it can
be done. and no pains or expense will be
spared to accomplish the desired end if
possible.
1t is Captain Shannon's opinion that the
fish will have to be put in pen until the
ova ripens; fertilize and then artifically
propagate. He thinks this is the only
way to bring about propagation. The
experiment will be watched by the
world. Unless the propagation of stur-
geon is accomplished, before many years
the sturgeon fishing in this section of the
country will be thing of the past.

Being Made With Boardwalk.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. June 12.-More
trouble is evidently in store for the
Auditorium Pier Company, which is
erecting the new pier and theatre on the
outside of the Boardwalk, at the foot
OF Pennsylvania avenue. City Council
tonight adopted resolution instructinp
Mayor Thompson to use every legal
force at his disposal to prevent the COM
pany from connecting their alleged pier
with the Boardwalk. The reason given
for this action is that the erection of the
pier is violation of the city ordinances
and the easement deeds giving right Of
way for the walk.
The resolution is construed as direct
ing the Mayor to call out the police i
necessary, to prevent a connection beins
made with the Boardwalk.
Decisions have not yet been handed
down in the cases against the Pier Com
pany, which were argued last week; bu
in the meantime the com pany is going on
with the work of construction. Both the
city and the adjacent property owners
are determined to fight the new structure
to the bitter end.

COURT DECISIONS.
The City Gains Its Suit Over the Traction
company. Criminal Suits Decided
as In This CITY,

The Supreme Court handed down big
batch of decisions Monday and several
of them affected this community.
A mandamus was allowed in the case
of the City of Bridgeton VS. the Bridgetop
q Millville Traction Company. This
suit, 1t will be remembered, was brought
by the city to compel the Traction Com.
pany to operate its cars on the Atlantic
street line. The mandamus is the begin
ming of the legal fight. The case will now
be argued on its merits, and if the pur-
chasers of the road take the same stand
as the old company, a long legal fight is
in prospect before the case is finally
settled.
The judgment of the Cumberland Cir
cult Court in the case of Michael J. Dilks'
against Sarah j. Stathem and others. was
affirmed. This is case where creditors
came upon the estate of the late Philip
Stathem for debts of the old Fairton glass
company. Stathem was one of the part
ners.
+ The Judgment in the Cumberland
county court against Leslie Brooks
and Gustave Schou, for the illegal sale of
liquor. were affirmed in an opinion by
Chief Justice Magic. The men were con.
victed of selling liquor in quantities of

WAS IT sUIoIDE2
After Some Dissipation the Unhappy Man
Ended His Life Sunday by His Own
Hand,

Henry g. Riley, well-known citizen,
lies dead at his home on Walnut street,
near Cedar, from an overdose of lauda-
mum, administered by his own hands.
The community was shocked Monday
morning, when they learned of the facts
of his death. He was such a genial,
smiling man, one who had but few if any
enemies, always pleasant chow do you
do,' that people were surprised to hear of
his tragic death.
Mr.. Riley kept little grocery next to
his residence and did nice business, and
for several years had kept back that in
satiable desire for drink, which men fall
under. But, that was his misfortune,
and about week ago he fell, and since
that time he had not been himself. On
Saturday last, however, he was at his
place of business part of the day, but
those who had any dealings with him
noticed that he was aboring under some
strain, which was unusual for him.
Sunday morning. after night of
unnatural rest, he arose, went iEto the
yard, and returning did not go into the
house, but went into his store in the rear
entrance and swallowed a dose, which
ended his life. He was in the store some
time when his son went in and found
him. He told his son that he had taken
something, but the boy did not know
that he had taken it with suicidal intent,
and did not say anything about it to his
mother.
Towards night the family thought best
to send for a physician and DIR. s. M.
Wilson was summoned. The doctor saw
the trouble and stayed with Mr.. Riley
about two hours and left him. About
eleven o'clock Mrs. Riley asked neigh
Dor, Charles Cunningham, to go after the
doctor DIR. Wilson hurried to the house,
but found Mr.. Riley dead. Mrs. Riley
does not think her husband took the
deadly drug with suicidal intent, but
drank it as medicine. Deceased leaves
wife and two sons.

Weather and Crop Conditions.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., June 6. 1899.
During the week ending Monday, June
9th, the temperature has averaged 6
degrees daily in excess of the normal,
the mean being 70 degrees. The days
were bright. and the nights decidedly
warmer, but owing to great deficiency
of rainfall, except in a small portion OF
Burlington County, the growth of all
crops, especially truck, has been almost
at standstill. In Ocean County the con-
ditions are serious, and unless rain comes
very som many crops will be utterly cut
OF. Tne hay crop, the State over, is past
recovery, aud the yield will be less than
one-half of the average. Glover, in many
places. will have to be cut in few days,
in order to save the crop.
Tomatoes, lately transplanted to the
fields, for canning purposes, are wither-
ing, and the straw berry crop is already
greatly shortened. The average rainfall
for the week is 0.S7 inch, while that
actually received was about 0.O7 inch.
