A few days ago while DIR. Cabell was
fishing between this place and Stoner
creek he was started by the noise made
by large rolling stone that broke loose
from the cut above the railroad. The
stone, about two feet square, landed di-
rectly between the rails, and after
working hard for minutes the doctor,
rolled the stone away" The passen-
ger train came along in about half an
hour and the rock was large enough to
have derailed the train and was on a
curve where it would have been
miracle if the engine men had seen it
in time to have avoided wreck.

Stockholders Liabilities.

According to the United States
banking law, each stockholder in a
National Bank is liable for double
the amount of his stock. In harmony
with the law. each stockholder of
the defunct First National Bank of
Asbury Park has had an assessment of
S53 levied on each share of stock held.
A failure to pay resulted in iudg-
ment recently being rendered in the
United States District Court, at Tren.
ton, against two of the stock holders
in the above bank and they will be
required to pay.
Stockholders in National Banks in
this State have their attention called
to the necessity of close oversight of
affairs in connection with the banks
with which they are identified If
under the law, the same provisions
could be made to apply to Trustees of
charitable institutions. there would
be greater care exercised over those
who handle the securities of these in

VERY IMPORTANT
SALE OF REAL ESTATE.

The announcement Monday for the
hrst time of the sale of the beautiful
homestead estate of the late BENJAMIN
L. Bright to Mr.. E. D. Middlekauff.
Vice President of the New Jersey T.
& L. Oil Company, comes with some
surprise to the people of Bridgeton,
who have long known the Bright
property in East Rridgeton as one of
the most beautiful places in this end
OF the country. and it has been the
common wonder of everybody why
some enterprising citizen did not get
possession of this hansome homestead
OF forty acres in the suburbs, with
railroad station on the corner and
less than one mile from the heart of
the city.
The keen business Judgment of M
Mlddlekauff saw it and at the same
time saw the commercial advantage
of the city of Bridgeton, with its
cluster of towns and villages all
around it, the natural center of trade
for all this section of the country. and
after looking over the geography of
the country and the city he decided
that Bridgeton was the place for a
permanent home and made a direct
purchase of the property from the ex-
ecutor, Mr.. Frank M. Riley. Mr..
Middlekauff and his family will take
possession at early day.

Mr.. George MCGOWAN,
Editor Daily Pioneeer.
I noticed and was very much in
terested in an article copied from the
Woodbury. Democrat in yours of
18th inst. purporting to give an inter
view with and statement made by Ma
jor Chas. F. Salkeld, of Woodbury.,
formerly an officer of Go. F. 3rd Regt,

reply. to a request from G. M. Gen.
Donnelly for a list of these of his
company that are living and entitled
to transportation to the battle ground
of Antietam to attend the exercises
of the unveiling of the New Jersey
monument on Sept. 18th next. the
Major states that there are only four
of old Go. F. now living, three beside
himself. Now. while I realize the
fact that the boys of '61 "are not
young men" to-day and many of our
old comrades have answered to the
last roll call and their number is get

statement in regard to the number
now living of sCo. F. is SO far wrong
that we feel it should be publicly cor

FAST PASSING
AWAY THE VETERANS.

A Gloucester county paper prints
the following interesting story:
Although the Civil War was
brought to close in April. 1866, less
than forty years ago. most OF those
who took part in that conflict are
fast passing away, and we presume
that by the end of another decade,
very few, If any Of the old veterans
will be left among us to answer roll
call.
"We were very forcibly reminded
OF this fact while recently oonversing
with Major O. F. Salkeld of the New
ton Hotel, who informed us that upon
consulting his old muster out role.

anniversary of that bloody fight,
Sept. II, he was astounded to find
that but three of the members beside
himself were now living The Major
commanded Go. F. Sd N. j. Vols. in
that engagement, and was attached to
the First N. J. Brigade, in Gen. VIM

SEPTEMBER nth
FOR CONVENTION.

Answering the call of Chairman
James E. Mitchell, the more than
two-t thirds of the members of the
County Republican Executive Com
mittee met Wednesday afternoon in
the parlors of the Hotel Cumberland
The meeting was an important one
inasmuch as there was some discus
sion relative to the new conditions
about to be created by the reform pri-
mary law which takes effect this fall.
The law was generally discussed and
many questions asked and answered,
and as result there will be far
better understanding among those who
will have to look after the machinery
for primary elections.
The date for the County Convention
was pretty thoroughly discussed and
was finally unanimously agreed that
the date should be fixed for Thursday,
September 18th. The convention will
be held at the Court House in this
city.
Almost all of the election officers
for the various precincts were named
for the benefit of the chairman and he
in turn will name the gentlemen to
the County Board of Elections which
will meet about the goth of August. !.
There was great deal of discussion
among the various precinct leaders
concerning Fpolitics and it was no.
ticeableathat Surrogate Bray and DIR.
j. R. @. Thompson were talking plea
sanity to all of them.
Among the politicians there was
not word said against either of the
candidates for Surrogate There was
no expression of factional differences.
The universal expression was that the
candidate named in the Convention OF
the 18th of September would be elected
by the full Republican vote of the
county. All over Cumberland the Re-
publicans are united, and everybody
expresses the opinion that the senti-
ment was alone for good politics.
That DR.. Thompson has thesbright-
est prospect for the nomination was
manifest from what was said by all
the gentlemen who were in the vari-
GUS conferences.
Those who spoke about the situa-
tion reported that the Thompson SEN
timent was constantly increasing.
The committeeman who were present
from Lands township said they were
for Surrogate Bray S denomination and
would be in the Convention for him
if his name went before the Conven.
tion, but they felt from what they
learned to-day that the nomination
was certain to be given to the Bridge.
ton physician.
AS gathered yesterday it might fair.
ly be inferred that Bray's delegates
will probably be two wards of Mill
vile, all Of Lands and Vineland,
Maurice River and possibly one pre-
cinct of Downe.
While the Thompson sentiment was
SO thoroughly apparent there was MOI
a single expression made against Mr.
Bray personally or as an official, il
fact he was spoken Of in the highest
terms. but there is apparently an IRE
sistible demand for Thompson.
One of the features of the commit
tees session was an address by AS
semblyman Louis H. Miller explaining
the Primary Law. A lawyer ani
legislator, he was thoroughly compe
tent to fully and satisfactorily explain
the law, which he did in manne
simply and plainly.
All of those present were guests a
dinner of Assemblymen Miller ant
Buck, Surrogate Bray and DR.. Thomp
son.
