Street Railway Sold.

The stock of the Mount Holly street
railroad company has been sold to syndl
cate which will probably soon construct
trolley road.
Clarence H. Polhemus, secretary and
treasurer of the road, has been the active
medium in the sale. He has secured near
ly all of the stock and expects to have
every share before the week closes.
The proposition is to build a trolley
road from Moorestown via Masonville ano
Hainesport, to Mount Holly, the terminus
at this end being the fair ground, as al
present. Possibly the road will be con
tinued to Burlington later.
The right of way between Mount Holly
and Moorestown has been secured anC
steps will at once be taken to secure
charter and the necessary permission &c
pass through the townships to be
traversed.
The syndicate that has this road in view
has been very fair to the stockholders OF
the street railway. While they could
have secured the desired end by purchas-
ing majority of the stock, they agreed
to purchase every share.
A move will be made this week to sur
vey the route, and active operations VIII
be commenced as soon as the consent TO
run oyer the county road is given. There
is no doubt the Board of Freeholders will
grant this permission as this road is the
first step in move that will ultimately
connect several of our small towns.
The Mount Holly street railway will
not be abandoned, but will be operated
until the trolley is established There is
general feeling of satisfaction over the
outlook and it is to be hoped the project
will soon be in successful operation.

Looking to the Future.

A few days since William Riley, well
known citizen of Medford, passed away
For many years he was engaged in the
undertaken business, at which he accumu
lated fortune The deceased was quite
business man, and while he was not pc
nurious by any means he was a firm be-
lever in frugality. He had a number of
children and to these he wanted to leave
as much as possible without the necessity
of spending large sum before it reached
them. On this point he had often sought
the advice of a prominent citizen, and at
the time of death it was found that he
had followed the instructions given him.
William Riley was worth nearly $7O,-
OOO most all of which consisted of gov
eminent bonds, stocks, etc. He knew
there would be government inheritance
tax amounting to something like $3.50.
While deceased was willing to accept in
terest from the government for the use OF
his money, yet he objected to Uncle Sam
getting any portion of it after his demise.
| To accomplish this object Mr. Riley took
| four large envelopes and placed $l5,OOO
| worth of securities in each, on the face
| of which were instructions to deliver the
envelopes at his death to his heirs-Frank
! Riley, Charles Riley, Rose Riley and Mrs
Emma Wright. In the meantime, when
it became necessary to clip the coupons,
he would open the envelopes, secure the
coupons and then reseal the bonds in new
envelopes. On
Mr.. Riley died on November 26, and
letters testamentary were granted to Mil.
ton FL. Allen. The envelopes were handed
over to the heirs as directed.
The will was admitted to probate OF
Saturday, and by the exercise OF shrewt
business methods the inventory of thi
large estate only amounted to $6, 400.

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spends hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to familiarize the pub
lie with the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.
This has been necessitated by reason of
pirates counterfeiting the Castoria trade
mark This counterfeiting is crime not
against the proprietors of Castoria, but
against the growing generation. All per-
sons should be careful to see that Castoria
bears the signature of Chas. II. Fletcher,
if they would guard the health of their
children. Parents, and mothers in par

Bpr,ineton,s LIQUOR Middle.

The liquor dealers of Burlington are il
fix The law appointing an Excise Com
! mission has been declared unconstitutional
consequently the licenses granted under
! its provision have been decided illegal
| The New Jersey Law and Order League
at once took hold of the matter and asked
| Mayor Flanders to have all hotels anC
saloons closed.
The Mayor went to Camden and had g
conference with Rev. S. I'll. Ham, secre
tary of the League, and S. Conrad OFT,
attorney of the organization. After a
thorough consideration of the subject the
Mayor decided there was but one course to
! pursue and that was to have all hotels and
saloons close. He therefore notified the
| dealers to that effect.
! The latter, however, did not take kindly
to the proposition. They hold they are
not responsible for the present condition
of affairs. They complied with the law
and paid the fee required of them. Having
done all that was demanded they say they
should not be made to suffer. With this
idea they decided not to obey the notiica-
ton to close and engaged counsel to aid
| them in maintaining this determination.
! Rev. DR.. Ham, Secretary of the Law
and Order League, is not pleased with the
action of the liquor men. He is reported
to have said he did not believe the officials
of Burlington were sincere in their efforts
to have the illegal sale of liquor cease. A
Philadelphia papers of Saturday contained
this statement Or Ham declared: One
of Burlington's city officials plainly init
mates over his signature that it will be
useless for the League to attempt to en-
force the law, because the Court-presum-
ably the County Court-will not punish
the saloonkeepers. ,"
This is a very grave accusation and 1t
should be Investigated at once. If any
of Burlingtons officials has made such a
statement cover his signature" Rev Mr..
Ham should be required to deliver the
communication to the court. Mr.. Ham
has reason to know that the court does pun
ish liquor dealers who violate the law. The
evidence of this was given at the last term
of court when heavy fines were imposed
upon men brought before the court by Mr..
Hams society.
If there is an official of Burlington who
is asserting that the county court will shield
any lawbreaker he should be compelled to
present his evidence of such fact or he
should be punished for libelling the court.
If there is no official to whom this state
ment can be traced then Rev. Mr. Ham
should be dealt with
