Political Notes.

The Burlington County Republican
conventions will be held on Saturday
October f.
Assemblyman Wright is in the race fo
denomination. At present he is on ,
business trip to New York state.
The date of the conventions has beer
put off pretty late. Evidently some plans
have not been entirely completed.
There will be three Republican conven.
lions this year. Under the new rules they
must all be held on the same day and al
the same hour. The convention to nomi.
nate a sheriff will be held at Mount Holly;
Assembly, auditor and coroner at Burling
ton; steward of almshouse at Moorestown.
Strife and factionalism in Republican
ranks appear to be on the increase in GER
tain parts of the state. The recent contest
in Camden has left its bad effects, and
opposition to assemblyman Holeman, of
Ocean, has cropped out. This is the re-
suit of the refusal of the assemblyman to
support South Jersey candidate for
United States Senator. Thus far Burling-
ton county has steered clear of all internal
troubles, but there are indications that a
certain crowd are making moves in which
personal interest is being considered ahead
of party success.

Cranberry Crop Short.

The American Cranberry Growers As
ISOLATION held meeting in Philadelphia,
Tuesday. Reports showed that the loss
in New Jersey by the frost of May Goth,
last, was heavier than had been anticipat-
ed, and the crop this year in this state
would be less than half of last years crop.
Last year about 100000 bushels were
picked; this year only 117,O0O bushels
could be figured out as in sight at the
present time.
AS for the crop in the country at large,
it will not be quite as large as last year,
perhaps seven or eight hundred thousand
bushels as compared with a trife over a
million last year. Cape Gods crop shows
falling off of twenty per cent, or $50,
600 bushels. Wisconsin and the west
gain 20 per cent.
Picking in this section has begun.
Many growers will not have even a third
of crop; some few will realize a hall
crop. and still fewer will go above that
figure

These conditions were generally unfav-
orable to maturing crops, especially corn

Strike al Lnmhertn,,.

Fourteen shoemakers living in Mount
Holly and working in Lumberton, went
on strike on Thursday. The trouble
arose over reduction in the price paid
for making certain size of shoes.
Up to within few weeks there have
been two shops in Lumberton, one belong
ing to the Lumberton shoe company.
The two were recently consolidated and
the men were told that prices would CON
! tinue as before. and payments were made
in accordance with that promise.
On Thursday when the men were paid
they found that half cent per dozen had
been taken from each man on sizes to H.
This naturally caused protest and it was
announced by the manager that the half
cent should be restored. but would be
taken from cheaper grade of work
This was not entirely satisfactory, but the
men decided to accept when the manager
announced that he had made mistake
J and that cents per dozen, instead of a
half cent was to be deducted
This broke the cancels back and the
men quit. Yesterday they sent com
mittee to confer with the manager On
arrival at Lumberton the men found their
kits of tools had been put into the street
The greatest care had not been used in
this movement and the men did not feel
very kindly, still they discussed the sub
ject with Manager Reid, who finally
agreed to restore the half cent on to II
shoes, add half-cent on II to work, but
refused to put back the three cents on the
cheaper work.
The committee returned to Mount Holly
and reported, but no definite conclusion
was reached
| The above statement is furnished by
the strikers. Yesterday afternoon young
representative of the shoe company called
THE News on the telephone and said: 81
suppose you are going to publish some
thing about the strike here" On being
1.-The article in a Sunday paper was not
correct. and l suppose you want the true
version . On being told that was so, he
said: well, you tell me what you are
going to print, and will tell you whether
it is right To this novel proposition the
reply was that if the shoe company had
any statement to make we would be
pleased TO hear it; we already had that of
the workmen and would be glad to hear
the other side, but the young man refus-
ed to make any statement until he had
heard the article we had prepared, and
while we were in the midst of talk with
him he gave curt good bye" and rang
off

Two Accidents.

There were two accidents last week, to
trains running over the Camden and Bur
lington county branch of the Pennsylvan-
ia railroad. The first occurred on Friday.
The train leaving Philadelphia at g. so had
just reached Haddon avenue, when the
passengers in one of the cars were given
shaking up. The coach was tilted to
one side and went humping over the ties.
Horace McIlvain, of Mount Holly, was in
the car, and he seized the cord controlling
the air brake and the train was stopped
One of the wheels on the car had broken
of. The coach was thrown from the
track by the wrecking crew and the train
| proceeded. One passenger was slightly
| bruised
The other accident occurred on Satur-
day night. A freight train on its way to
Philadelphia stopped near Lenola, the en-
CINE cutting loose to pick up some cars at
the brickyard. In shifting these an axle
broke and the track was blocked The
flagman of the freight was out and he
stopped a passenger train coming from
Stanwick.
Owing to the demand for cars it has
been the custom this summer to send an
engine out to pick up all empty passenger
coaches for Sunday use. An engine had
come from Bordentown Saturday night
and by the time it reached Moorestown
the train consisted of 10 cars. At the
time this train was on its way to Camden
all the small telegraph stations were
closed, hence the engineer was ignorant of
anything wrong and was running accord
ing to his usual custom.
At Lenola there is very sharp curve
and when the engineer of the special
sighted the red signal of the train ahead
he was unable to hold up. His engine
dashed into the rear car of the Stanwick
train and ran his engine directly under it.
The tank containing gasoline for lighting
purposes, exploded, and the car took fire,
and was entirely consumed The wood
work on the engine was also destroyed
and the engine was otherwise damaged
In the meantime the engineer of the
freight train aroused the operator at
Maple Shade and he notified the Camden
Office of the wreck in time to warn the
1890 line to Mount Holly The track was
not cleared until early Sunday morning.
Fortunately the car that was wrecked was
empty, and nobody was hurt.

The Fair of 1902

The directors of the Burlington County
Fair Association are working hard to
make the fair of 1902 a success. En-
couraged by the results of last year, they
have gone just little further this year to
give good returns for the price charged
for admission. The prizes and premiums
will reach nearly $4,000.
The racing last year was the best ever
seen here and the time was fast, yet it is
expected to beat the track record of 200.
The vaudeville attractions will be fine
Winkler's band has been engaged to fur
nish music
The fair of 1902 will be of sufficient
magnitude to interest all who delight in
visiting such places and the attendance
should be largely increased over that OF
1901.
