STREETER REMAINS
IN POSSESSION OF WEALTH.
Vice Chancellor Reed AffirmS the
Decision of Judge Trench
ard in the Cumberland Court.

Trenton, March 5.-Vice Chancellor
Reed to-day affirmed the decision of
the Orphans Court of Cumberland
county, which gives John J. Streeter,
editor of a Populistic newspaper in
Vineland, control of an estate valued
at $45, 900, left by Mrs. Caroline P.
Dexter. Mrs. Dexter possessed liter
airy tastes and frequently contributed
to the columns of Streeter's paper.
When her husband died she per-
mitted her editor friend to manage
her estate, and when she passed away
she left a will behind her, giving
Streeter $45, OO0 The Court holds that
the woman gave no evidence of mental
decline.

Thursday Stephen HI. Morse, an In
spector of the Postal Department at
Washington, came here and made a
complete investigation of the Office
and its accounts, and last night took
an account of stock. After this was
accomplished the official transfer of
the office was made, and Mr.. Graham
became Postmaster
Immediately Frank H. Miller as
sumed the position of Deputy Post
master, and is now filing the posi-
tion
Postmaster Graham will retain the
services of former Chief Clerk Rich
ard Brockson for time, until he and
Mr. Miller grasp the situation.
There will not be any other changes
in the office for time, at least, the
other employees being protected by
Civil Service as long as they fill their
positions properly.
Mr.. Graham has little to say regard
ing the future of the Office. He is
anxious to have better postal service
for the people of Bridgeton, and no
doubt will improve it in many ways.
One of the innovations will be to have
the office opened earlier in the morn
ing for the accommodation of many
people who are on the way to their
work
1t is quite possible that the Post
master will soon have two more letter
carriers appointed for this city, it
being held that the Office is entitled
to two more. IF that can be done
there will be three deliveries for the
people here.

THE ASSESSORS HOLD OVER.
The Appointment of Democrats
Will Not Avail Until Next
January.


Under the law undoubtedly the AS
SCISSORS who have been serving the
city for three years will continue in
Office until January first. The lap-
pointments of the Democratic AS
SCISSORS by Mayor Hampton last Tues
day will not avail.
The law is very plain. The APP
pointment of Assessors by the Mayor
is under the provisions of the laws of
1898, page 1926. Section of that act
provides:
"Section 2. That the said Asses
sors may be appointed by the Mayor
and Common Council or other govern
ing body of such city, in manner
aforesaid, at any time after the pas
sage of this act, but shall not enter
upon the discharge of their duties,
nor shall their term of office begin
until the expiration of the term of
Office for which the present assessors
in such city were elected,'' etc.
The appointments of the Assessors
was made by former Mayor Appelgate
early in the year of 1S9S Their terms
of Office began the third Tuesday of
March, that being fixed by the city
charter.
Section 10 of Title second, of the
charter provides
"And be it enacted that the term of
office of the Chosen Freeholders and
Justices of the Peace of the several
wards of said city shall commence at
the time or times prescribed by law
and the term of office of all other off
GERS elected at the annual city cleo
tions as herein provided, shall COM
mence on the third Tuesday in March
and all the officers elected by virtue
of this act, except Chosen Freeholders
and Justices of the Peace, shall be
sworn in before the City Council
within thirty days after the said
third Tuesday in March and upon the
failure of any officer to be sworn in
as herein directed his office shall be-
come vacant -
| The election merger act provides
that all municipal officers excepting
Justices of the Peace, shall have their
terms extended until January 1st.
1901, at noon.
This makes the matter so entirely
plain that there can be no miscon-
struction. The terms of the present
Assessors did not begin until the
third Tuesday in March 1898, and as
they were appointed for three years
their terms do not expire until the
third Tuesday of the present month
! The act signed by Governor VOORHEES,
this week, continues this term until
January 1st next. Hence the Asses
ors now in office will hold over.

ANTI-SPRING BILL
is NOW A LAW.
Governor Voorhees, Signs the Bill
and il is Now ON the Statute
Books.


Trenton, Feb. 2S.-Late this after
noon Governor Voorhees, signed Mr..
Meeker's bill, doing away with spring
elections in all cities of the State.
The Governor studied the bill nearly
all day, in conference part of the
time with Attorney General Grey.
AS several cities were in turmoil
as to the uncertainty, the Governor
thought it best that his conclusion in
the matter should be determined as
quickly as possible.
1t had been expected that the Gov
ernor would simply file the bill with
out his approval. In studying the
measure he said that he was endeavor-
ing to satisfy himself that the law
would be constitutional, as it would
be serious matter should the whole
scheme be upset by the Courts on
technicality in conflict with the Con-
stitution
After several hours study of the
Dill the Governor DECIDED that the
bill was demanded by the representa-
tives of the people, and that as he
was satisfied of it's constitutionality
he would sign it.
The bill exempts towns, townships
and boroughs. Terms of office holders
are extended to January l succeeding
the date at which the terms of office
holders would otherwise expire.
1t is rumored that the Governor has
assurance from friends of the measure
that they would not interfere with
the plan to put Union county in a
solidly Republican Congressional dis
trict. If Union is SO placed there will
be hot fight over the re-districting
when the Legislature again convenes.
The Governor decided to-day that he
could not find time to attend the in
auguration of President Mckinley

A Remedy for the Grippe.

A remedy recommended for patients
afflicted with the Grippe is Kemp's Bal
sam, which is especially adapted for the
throat and lungs. Don't wait for the
first symptoms of tho disease: get a
bottle to-day and keep it for use the
moment it is needed. If neglected the
grippe has tendency to bring on pneu-
monia. Kemp's Balsam prevents this by
keeping the cough loose and the lungs
free from Inflammation. All druggists
sell Kemp's Balsam at 25c and 5Oc. I24w
