1t is said that the appropriation by Con
gress of So, 900 for the improvement of the
Rancocas creek did not specify which

of Union and Middlesex counties, is ex-
periencing the effect of voting away a too
liberal trolley franchise. The Brunswick
Traction Company, the beneficiary, not
only is taking all the earth granted in the
franchise, but is doing as it pleases with
the weak provisions of the charter that
treat of time schedules and the housing of
passengers in the local terminus.
The Vice Chancellor yesterday refused
to continue the injunction served on S.
Budd Norcross to prevent him from re-
moving a wharf at H%ainesport. Mr.,
Norcross purchased the personal property
of the Rancocas Sand and Gravel Com
pany, in which was included the wharf.
Mrs. Amos, of Hainesport, claimed to own
the latter and secured an injunction against
its removal. The Vice Chancellor said he
failed to see where Mrs. Amos had any
title to the property, nor could he see
where any irreparable damage will be
done by removing the wharf. Unless the
case Is appealed the work of removal will
begin at once.
The post office department at Washing
ton has ruled that the writer has a right to
possession of a letter, providing he
can prove to the satisfaction of the post
master at the office from which it was sent
that he was the writer of it. Even if a let
ter has arrived at its destination and before
it has been delivered to the person to whom
it was addressed, it may be recalled by a
telegram through the mailing office. The
assigned is that the United States
is only the agent of the writer of the let
ter while the letter is in transit. The de-
cision is important to business men and to
individuals.

The concert given by the Mandolin Club
on Wednesday evening, for the benefit of
the Brotherhood of the Union, drew a
good house, but not as large as the first
concert given by the club about two
ago. The entertainment was fine
and was heartily enjoyed by those pres
ent. About the only thing that could be
criticised was the late hour at which the
concert was concluded. This was not
really due to the length of the programme,
but to the slow manner in which it was
presented. 1t was half past eight before
the first number was given, and the waits
between selections were very tiresome. 1t
was after eleven O'Clock when the curtain
went down.
