CENTRAL TRACTION
MAKES APPLICATION.
For Second Time the Traction Com
pany Asks the Council to Give
Franchise.

The Council met at the residence Of
DR.. Haines on Thursday evening as
called for. A petition was received
through Hon. John Montgomery s
peading with Mr.. Vandergrift, from
the Jersey Central Traction Company
for right of way from borough line to
Bordentown avenue through Broad
way, which will be heard from later.
Mr.. Montgomery says if this petition
is ignored they will never make an
other one, but will skirt the town and
in his opinion, that will be the ruina-
tion of the town, as he believes then
the M. & s. Traction Company would
tear up its rails and not bother with
the little traffic they have here as it
does not pay them.
The Jersey Central Company, it is
said, will make arrangements with
the NJ & s. Traction Company to run
over their tracks after leaving Borden
town avenue. if they receive the right
of way from the Council. By going
around the borough they save a mile
and quarter, in fact nearly a mile
and a half. The measuring of the
difference was made in Montgomery 8
store. Councilman Gordon was sent
for and the Hon. John M. talked to
him, for he is firm in his belief that
there is no bluffing in the affair.
DR.. Haines treated the councilmen
to turtle soup, crab salad etc, which
they declared fine and wouldn t mind

Parents Were Greatly Pleased.

Schools NO. and was held in school
house No. 1, both afternoon and even
ing. Every scholar in the school was
represented in the class work for the
year. Each teacher had their class
exhibits on tables etc., in their rooms
and they were beautifully arranged.
The covers were made especially
attractive by the teachers, which
showed the desire on their part that
their pupils work should show to ad-
vantage, and it did. 1t was pleasure
to the visitors and especially to the
parents of the children to view the
best specimen of their years work in
such pretty settings.
Some of the parents were astonlshed
when they saw the work of their own
children, as they did not Imagine they
were capable of doing it in such an
efficient manner, having seen perhaps
only rough specimens of drawing, etc.,
and they expressed themselves as per-
fectly delighted. In fact they were
delighted with the whole affair and
gave the teachers great creditfor their
share in it,. and they certainly de-
served credit, for they worked very
hard during their leisure hours.
The work of first grade of both
schools (color and form work. were
especially attractive and that OF the
second grade, painting, (water colors) }
were so also and the Latin transia-
tions, stenography, botany and their
paper exhibits were fine. Most, If not
all, of the specimens were our native
wild flowers and they received great
praise. wish could speak of each
grade separately, but it is sufficient
.sto say that the drawings, botany,
painting and paper work of each class,
yes, of each scholar of the different
classes, received the highest praise.
The scholars made their teachers
some very pretty presents.

but not so, they have troubles of their
own, as we'll as other people, which
was very evident last Friday night
when the correspondent wandered to-
ward Justice Mason house and found
shelter there from the rain.
There was party in the Justice g
office who wanted warrant to enable
him to have certain parties arrested
for slandering his wife and himself
and was not willing to take mo" for
an answer when the Justice refused
him a warrant. The young man
brought forth an oath that had been
lying dormant and stated in rather
loud words what he wanted. The
Justice, not liking his stvle OF speech
and considering that he had told the
man plainly enough that he could not
serve him, told him to leave the office.
Back of one of the four walls of the
office another scene was being enacted
which afterward caused considerable
merriment. The Justices family,
knowing that some of the men in the
office were intoxicated, were on the
alert and hearing loud talk they scent
ed scene that might be bad for the
Justice, who was one against three as
they supposed, so they soon added an
other man 10 the quartette. and the
remainder, all women, stood ready to
assist if needed, but the Young man s
ardor cooled by that time and he said {:
|'sI didn't know that anyone was
around, I" and said also that he didn t
mean to say anything wrong and was
as humble as possible.
The Justice then explained that as
the parties had not struck him or his
wife it was entirely out of his juris-
diction and told him how he would
have to proceed to get satisfaction in
another court. In the meantime one
of the men present had taken a nap
and had sobered up little, although
he must have been. brought by some
one to the house in the first place he
was so much under the influence of
liquor and the Justice had supposed
he was with the other party.
AS he did not leave with the others
the Justice found out his mistake. On
questioning him he learned that it
was another case of slander, but the
man didn t really know whether he
was afoot or on horseback so a very
few words settled him. Had the first
young man got peep into the back
room it would have taken fewer words
to have settled him and sent him fly
ing.
The Justice had four good cham
pions in that room, ladies, who were
willing to-well, fiatirons. umbrellas
etc., were talked about and in evil
dence when the Justice entered after
getting rid of the warrant seekers and
there was as before said, considerable
merriment over it.
