REPUBLICANS TO CONFER.
State Committee May Consider
Anti-Spring Election Bill.

Trenton, n. j., Dec. 6.-The EX-
ecutive Committee of the Republican
State Committee will hold special
meeting here Tomorrow. The pur-
pose of the meeting is not announced
in the CALL General Sewell has been
invited to be present, and has Signi-
flea his intention of doing SO. 1t is
stated on good authority that one OF
the matters to be considered is the
proposed bill abolishing spring cleo
tions in cities The State Commit
tee year ago, by close vote. fav-
ored such a bill, but the measure
was not introduced in either house.
A well-informed Republican leader
said tonight that he did not believe
the Legislature would this winter
pass any bill abolishing spring cleo
tions, and that certainly no atfirma-
tive action would he taken unless
Senator McCarter, of Essex county,
should urge a bill of that Kind.
Many of the Republican leaders of
Essex and Hudson counties want
spring elections abolished but Sena-
tor McCarter is credited with being
opposed to such measure, and Hud-
son county has no Republican Rep
reSentative in the Legislature.

PENNSY Is BUYING UP
TRENTON PROPERTIES,
May Straighten Line and Build
a New Bridge.

Trenton Dec. %. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, through a
local real estate firm here, has pur-
chased about thirty properties in the
southern portion of Trenton and
negotiations are pending for tn
acquisition of about the same num-
Der of additional properties. These
are adjacent to the railroad tracks
where they cross the Delaware River
to Morrisville.
None of the railroad officials here
will discuss the object of the pur-
chaseS, but all the properties are
located within line that would be
followed by Strengthening the COM
,pany's tracks, and it is unofficially
stated that the company's purpose is
to straighten it's tracks in South
Trenton and build new bridge
across the Delaware river. This
would take out an So curve and re-
duce the distance between New York
and Philadelphia about quarter of
a mile and do away with the present
necessity of fast trains slowing up on
the curve as it now exists.

He was found helpless on step in
the southern section of the city, and
did not know where he was until he
awoke Friday morning. When ar
raigned before Recorder Nowrey he
said he came to Camden to look for a
woman who is wanted in Bridgeton.
He said he was drinking with several
men in a down town saloon, and be-
lieved that he was drugged, and his
money was stolen from him. Sem

peareds and the officers could not
get any further inkling of him.

HORRIBLE DEATH OF
HURFFYILLE FARMER
A Steam Thresher Crushes Out
His Life.

GlasSboro, Dec. 25.-Jacob P. An
drews, OF Hurffville, met a terrible
death near there, yesterday. With
several Others Andrews was moving
Charles Turner's steam threshing
machine, which had been in active
service, and in the boiler of which
there still remained 100 pounds pres
sure of steam.
Two horses were attached to the
machine, and as they were started
up the driver turned them sharply,
the wheels became locked, and strik-
ing the main steam valve, snapped it
Off
The sudden rush of steam fright
end the horses, which started off
with sudden lurch that threw An
drewS to the ground The wheels of
the heavy apparatus passed over his
chest, crushing it. He arose, ut
tered one despairing shrek and
dropped dead. Andrews was about
80 years old and leaves a widow and
three children.
The thresher weighs over two tons.
but so frightened were the horses
that they pulled this immense load
through mud almost hub deep a
quarter of a mile. all the way the
escaping steam making a terrific
noise.
Coincident with this death is the
fact that this same thresher was the
cause of George Goodenough's death
three months ago, when he was
mangled in the machinery.

GRAND IMPROVEMENT.
The Ocean City Water Company
to Expend $4,000 at Once.

Bridgeton property holders will be
very much interested in the follow
ing from the Ocean City Sentinel:
ga meeting of the directors of the
Ocean City Water Company was held
on Monday at the Office of Henry D.
Moore, president, in Philadelphia.
Every member was present, and d
thorough discussion of the water
plant was had. A map of the city,
which had been made since the pre-
vious meeting, showing the size and
location of every main in the pres
ent system, was thoroughly ex-
amined
''It was then unanimously ordered
that the sum of S25, 900 be expended
at once in improving the water SER
vice in this city. Among the i'm
provements to be made is the laying
of a Six-inch main from Seventeenth
to Fifty-ninth street. and ten or
twelye-inch main in the central part
of the town. Six-inch fire plugs are
to be placed from First to Seven
teenth streets. The present plugs
are four inch.
Every property owner is vitally
interested in the city's water supply
and these improvements, as well as
others to made, will be heartily ap-
preciated. Nothing Will add to the
growth of the town more than a first
class water supply for fire protec-
tiOn.'

SERMON ON TAX DODGING.
A Vineland Minister Gives His
Personal Views.

Vineland, Dec. 23.-The First Con-
gregational Church was crowded last
night to hear sermon on lodging
delivered by Rev. Samuel Scoville,
son-in-law of the late Henry Ward
Beecher. The discourse was occa-
stoned by an attempt to collect taxes
on Montana bonds held by Thomas
H. Winter, one of Vineland's S
wealthy residents.
While Lawyer Leverett Newcomb,
was arguing before the Commissions
ers Of Appeal, few days ago, that
Mr.. Winter should pay personal
taxes, he quoted from the Bible as
follows: ''They bind heavy burdens
and grievous to be borne, and lay
them on mems shoulders, but they
themselves will not move them with
one of their fingers" This text he
applied to Mr.. Winter, and called on
Rev. Scoville, who was present, to
preach sermon on the text. Rev.
Scoville accepted.
He spoke of the seliShneSS which
attempts to escape fair share of
the burdens of life and lay them
upon other people as prevalent in our
Saviour'S time and as found in our
day, but nowhere more in evidence
than in matters pertaining to taxa
tion. He said it is shown in the
almost universal grumbling at taxes
and. all the subterfuges which are
employed to escape them. He
claimed that tax can only properly be
laid upon such property as the town
protects and since these bonds in
question were issued in Montana,
stored in Philadelphia and paid in
New York, the city of VineIand has
no valid claim for taxes.

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Bsnsons Plaster Is Pains Mastsr.)

From the natural impulse to "put some
thing on painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen
The most successful have ever been pouf-
tices or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster. t,,
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Be1son's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years TO the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
ffty.tiue highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of Csc. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.

SUCCESSOR OF
LATE JUSTICE LUDLOW.
The. First District Should Have
the Appointment.

The death of Judge Ludlow leaves
the first judicial district without
legal head and much interest is man.
ifested in the Governors intention
respecting the new appointment.
For more than thirty years this dis
trict has had no representative on
the Supreme bench. Judge Elmer's
term expired in 1869 and he was sue
ceeded by Judge VanSyckle, who re-
sided in Trenton. His successor was
Judge Reed, who also lived in Tren-
ton, and he was followed by Judge
Ludlow, whose residence was still
further away from his circuit. This
is not as it should be. The Judge
ought to reside in or near his district
an9 be in touch with it's people. He
should not be stranger in his dis
trict, anxious to get away DIS soon as
possible. but should be at home
among the people whose legal differ
ences he is called upon to hear and
determine.
Inquiry among the members Of the
local bar shows a unanimous desire
that the Justice assigned to this Cir
cult should, at least, have an office
in Camden where he could be readily
found, when not in attendance at
Court, by lawyers having business
with him. Orders that are required
to be signed by Judge in vacation
are, generally, those of great import
ance. They frequently involve mat
ters of personal liberty, as in habeas
corpus cases and applications to re-
view summary proceedings of various
kinds. Applications for certiorari,
rules to show cause and practice mo-
tions almost invariably are regarding
matters requiring prompt action and
the lawyers would save much time
and their clients much money by
having an accessible Judge.
The appointment ought to go to a
South Jersey Republican. The first
judicial district comprises the coun-
ties of Cumberland, Atlantic, Cape
May and Salem, all Republican coun-
ties. While the judiciary ought to
be kept absolutely clear of PARTISAN
ship, there is no valid reason why,
in making an appointment, a good
Republican should not take prece-
dence over'a good Democrat When
the State was given over to the
Democracy the rule of division on
the Supreme bench was six Demo-
Gratis to three Republicans. A re-
versal of this ratio would, therefore,
have basis of established custom,

HORSE STOLEN
FROM MILLVILLE.
Clever COlOred Fellow Got it
From Livery Stable.

Millyille, Dec. 0-The police Off
GERS are on the lookout to-day, for a
man who is evidently a clever horse
thief.
Yesterday afternoon, a man drove
in Hates livery yard and asked to
leave his horse and cutter all night,
saying. he would call for it this morn
ing.
About ten o clock last night, tele-
phone message was received from
Bridgeton, at the stable, asking if
there was rig of that description
there and upon being answered in
the Affirmative, the party said they
would call for it about eleven o'clock.
The party happened to be colored
man and appeared so frank and busi-
ness like in his demands for the rig,
which he said he had been sent for,
that his identity was never ques-
toned.
All went well until this morning
when the proper owner, the man
who had left the outfit, came and de-
manded 1t. 1t was readily seen then
that they had been worked by
thief.
The description of the colored man
has been telephoned all over the
country and it is very probable that

The Way to Keep Them.

Watermelons of Northern grown
may be enjoyed in winter by follow
ing the plan adopted by "Uncle
Mike" Morris, farmer who lives
near Stanhope, Iowa. Last summer
he selected number of choice melons
and put them in cave, after having
sealed the stems with wax. Last
week he cut one and found it to be as
fresh and crisp as though it had just
been taken from the vine. All this
is vouched for by local paper.

viii Hold 1t Omen,

Governor Voorhees, will not name
the successor to the late Justice Geo.
G. Ludlow, until the Legislature
meets, two weeks hence. The Gov
ernor says that there is no necessity
for an immediate appointment, as
the Supreme Court matters in the
district formerly presided over by
Justice Ludlow are being well cared
for.
The prospects for the shipping bill
have grown brighter and if certain
amendments urged by both leaders of
House and Senate are accepted by
Senator Hanna, it will probably pass
unless Senators Pettigrew and Allen
can succeed in their expressed deter
mination to talk it to death.
