There is much in the way of railroad
business waiting upon the return from
Europe Of President F. .. Ripley of
the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe. The
final consolidation of the Santa Fe with
the San Joaquin Valley road and the rati-
fcatiOn of the deals by which the system
acquires certain California franchises and
trackage privileges from the Southern
Pacific and other local lines are matters
all waiting his consideration.
The proposition of newest interest To-
cally. however, is the proposed line of
trans-Pacific steamers the company in
tends to operate in conjunction with its
transcOntinental line. The announcement
that the Santa Fe would soon have es-
tablished a San Francisco branch of its
shipping business came out from the East
a week ago in a dispatch carrying meager
details of the plan
In the past few days, however, further
particulars have drifted to the coast, and
the scheme is creating considerable talk
on the street As far as the cOmpany's
plans are known. it is the intention TO
start with but one steamer-One of those
now building at the Cramps shipyards-
10 be run in conjunction with the line now
plying between San Diego and Asiatic
points The vessel viii be put on about
July l. and others will follow it as bust
ness increases. 1t is not the intention of
the company to abandon its San Diego
terminal. as 1t has been a success in every
respect. The new line is to be a branch of
that service and nothing more.

Ooean County Court.


The September term of the Ocean county
courts opened on Tuesday
The case of Prof James Cookery VS..
the Central Railroad Co., an action for
damages, resulted in favor of the com
pany.
Cookery was injured by being thrown
| from the steps of a passenger car at Toms
River station in 1897. He testified that
the train was late, that the crew was in
hurry, and started the cars just as his
foot was on the bottom step.
The railroad company produced evi-
dence to prove that Cookery was negligent
in attempting to board a moving train;
that there was no undue hurry because 8
lot of baggage had to be moved, and that
plaintiff stood on the platform until the
train started, when he attempted to get
on board The jury rendered verdict OF
no cause for action.
The grand jury returned thirteen bills
of indictment on Wednesday.
The following licenses were granted:
John B. Tilton, Blodgett house, Forked
River.
Charles t. Seaman, restaurant, Toms

The eohtOld Case again.

The much litigated case Of the heirs of
Samuel Bechtold against the three execu.
tors of the latter's estate, is again revived
with the commencement of a new pro-
ceeding in the United States Circuit Court.
The bill of complaint, which was filed on
Friday demands that Joseph A. Frank
and Charles Mitsch appear before Judge
Gray, on the 18th of this month, and an
swer suit in ejectment brought against
them by the heirs
The latter claim an equal undivided
fifteen seventeenth of tract of land stu
ate in the township of Delran, and ask for
mesne profits and damages to the amount
of $780, 900. 1t is alleged that the Mitsches
hold the above mentioned property
through fraudulent deed, and that the
plainti ifs have, in reality been entitled to
the land since the Goth Of January, 1888.
Thomas B. Bechtold, Mary Belle Bech-
told, William B., Henry A. and M. B.
Bechtold, Mary A. Pennebecker and Sarah
A. Gessman, all of Pennsylvania; Jacob
z. Bechtold, Elizabeth B. Sipling, Mary
A. Ames, Sarah E. Loughman and Daniel
II. Miller, of Illinois; Samuel B. Bech-
told, OF Texas; Abram L. Bechtold of
Nebraska, and Harriet v. Partridge of
California, are the fifteen heirs, and it was
more than ten years ago when they first
took their troubles into court.
The story goes that the late Samuel
Bechtold, who was an ent erprising Phila-
delphia German, purchased a piece of
ground on which the town of Riverside
is now located, and prior to and during the
war of the rebellion, he laid out and ar
ranged that settlement. A few wears
later he died and left three executors to
his will The executors, it is said, NAL
administered the estate, and finally wo of
them, ''presuming" the other dead, made
deeds to certain lands in the town of Riv-
erside, and in signing the papers designat-
ed themselves Surviving executors. -
Suit was then instituted in the Court of
Chancery, and the case wen it through that
court and the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals, the outcome being that the execu-
tors were surcharged with many and va
rious sums
Nathan S. Reed, one of the execute rs,
who was also a Philadelphia, but W no
died not long ago, assumed at one time to
own part of the town of Riverside, and
conveyed the valuable triangular plot to
the defendants in the latest cause Now
the heirs, through Counselor E. r. Wal
ker, seek to recover the same through the
aforementioned application to the United
States Circuit Court. By the decision of
the Court of Errors in the case of the heirs
against the executors, Reed and his wife
were held to be owners of two seven
teenths of the Bechtold estate The own
ership came to them as devisees under the
will of Samuel Bechtold, and what the
heirs want is the rem aiming fifteen seven
foar, of% To-.

MOUNT HOLLY z, DELANoo 1.
Mount Holly defeated Delanco, on tn,
latter's ground, by the score of to 1
The Delanco team was in considerably
oester shape than on the Saturday pre-
vious, and played faster game. The
numerous glazing errors were missing this
time, and they did better stick work
Simmerman was wild, particularly when
the bases were occupied. Bachman made
number of fine stops of wild pitched
balls, thereby cutting off several runs.
He also threw well to bases.
Gleason played star game, taking all
chances in the field and getting three hits.
de made phenomenal one hand catch Of
difficult fly in short centre field, COM
plotting double play by throwing to
Hitchner at second. Mount Holly made
two other double plays which were very
speedy.
Dunn pitched creditable game, keen
ing the hits well scattered except in the
third inning, when the home team got its
only run, which was earned.
Delanco came near scoring again in the
fourth. Bachman was safe on Hitchner's
error Ellis singled. and Lowell got pass,
filling the bases and none out. Dunn
struck out the next two hands and the
third died at first on grounder to Hitch
ner
Quigg's fielding was excellent. a
marked contrast to his work in Mount
Holly the previous Saturday.
