Want South Jersey Concern.

Z w ant south Jersey Concern.
Jersey City, April "a Thomas N.
McCarter, who is to be the president
of the new trolley, gas and electric
light merger company. paid hasty
visit to this city yesterday and set
the trolley officials wondering. Had
he come to set up the guillotine? was
the question on several lips. But
General Manager David Young denied
that any wholesale decapitations were
! to take place and peace reigned once
more.
1t leaked out that the Fidelity Trust
Company, which will finance the new
company, had almost decided to lease
the South Jersey Gas, Electric and
Traction Company. The terms are
that the new company would guaran-
tee dividends on the South Jersey
common stock as we'll as the interest
on it's bonds. This will be graded,
as in the case with the North Jersey,
'White Line'' and other interests in
the merger.
Since the South Jersey company
was organized about three years ago,
the common stock has steadily risen.
1t was virtually given away at the
beginning as bonus to the holders of
bonds. 1t is now worth 60 and should
the lease be made to the Fidelity
company the stock may run up to par
It has paid dividends
A we'll informed person was author
ity for the statement that the new
corporation to run the North Jersey
and other interests is to be styled the
North Jersey Gas, Electric and
Traction Company

VISIT
THE FARMERS.

The officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad are anxious to develop to
the greatest extent the remarkably
productive soil of New Jersey. The
people of the State are interested, the
producers of the soil are interested
and in consequence the railroads, the
people and the producers are getting
together.
Tuesday Station Agent Ed. Atkin-
son entertained here Superintendent
D. H. Lovall, Division Freight Agent
William Coffin, Train Master G.. N.
Gregg, Travelling Freight Agent J.
ID. Remington, and W. HI. Jaggard,
of the Office of the General Superin-
tendent Of the United Railroads of
New Jersey.
These gentlemen with the Minch
Brothers went out to Hopewell and
met delegation of sixty farmers in
the school house and there was a most
interesting conference. The many
markets for the light produce were
explained, and train service was
shown to be advantageous to the
shipper giving him opportunities that
he could not possibly get here. In
stances were shown where committees
had taken advantages of the oppor-
tunity of shipping over railroads
Swedesboro had become great ship
ping center and the farmers had been
very prosperous.
The railroad officials explained the
| efforts of the Pennsylvania railroad
company in developing the South,
and the operations had been attended
with. much success, and the oppor-
tunities in Jersey were even more
manifest.
Another meeting of farmers was
held at Rockville, there being forty
or more in attendance, and this meet
ing was as interesting as the first.
The railroad management is exceed
ingly anxious to cooperate with the
farmers and give them every possible
eAuFahuoSo III IoacHlHB Roou pay Ing
markets, and it is doing it elsewhere
very successfully.
The company has built here large
shipping station and has admirable
arrangements for handling perishable
commodities.
The officials were much impressed
with the farming country visited ant
the farmers took an active interest il
the propositions presented.

Single Meeting a Month.

1t is being suggested that City
Council may return to the custom of
having but one meeting regularly of
that body each month. This was the
custom for many years, until business
became considerable, and by resolu-
tion Council decided to meet twice
each month. Nowadays business is
not so voluminous, and the meetings
are quite short, and it is being con-
sidered whether or not all of the work
could not be accomplished on the
second Tuesday evening of the month.

E. W. MoGann, director of the New
Jersey Weather Bureau, has been
notified to remove to Atlantic City, to

CLASS DAY
AT HIGH SCHOOL

Glass Day exercises at Bridgeton
High School were held Monday night
by the Seniors at that institution, and
were greatly enjoyed by very large
audience in the assembly room upon
the second floor.
A most pleasing picture was pre-
sented. Draped tastefully, over the
entrance to the assembly room,
were two class flags while inside
was a mass of color, bunting
and flags being festooned ahout the
auditorium with the class colors of
blue and gold entwining Splendid
drawings were upon the black boards
about the room.
All the while the audience were
gathering piano music was furnished
by Miss Elizabeth j. Hustled. Promi-
nent in the audience were the mem
bers of the Junior class, and while
they were much in evidence they be-
haved surprisingly we'll, and the
Seniors appreciated the consideration
shown them, especially as the Seniors
remembered their own pranks in the
Junior year.
There were but two outbreaks upon
the part of the Juniors. Once when
they permitted spring curtain to fly
upward with crash. displaying the
Junior class colors which had been
ingeniously hidden back of the cur
tain. Again between the two parts of
the program, while the orchestra was
playing, there was another demon
stration, and it was clever one.
Without warning whirr and rattle
of bell was heard. 1t was startling.
Ring, ring, ring, rattle, ring. What
was it? Where was it? Was it the
electric enunciator? Was it the
clock? Investigation was made. The
investigation was vain. Nothing
could be found, but the blurr and
rattle, the ringing and ringing con-
tinued on. It seemed as if it would
never stop, and the Seniors were ner-
vous. The orchestra played on. So
did the bells, but finally the noise
subsidized and peace and quiet reigned
The program had been admirably
arranged and was thoroughly enjoyed
President William Grim welcomed
the audience pleasantly and the senti-
mental roll call followed, the re-
sponses being very clever and witty
The roll was called by the Secretary,
Miss j Inie Beck.
The program as rendered follows:
Vocal solo, Miss Mary Logue.
Glass history, written by Misses
Mary Vannaman and Ethel Sohenck,
Miss Ethel Schenck.
Piano solo, Miss Estella Bates.
Prophecy, part 1, Miss Frances
Fitch.
Piano duett, Misses Katharine and
Carrie Sharp.

Sentiments, Miss Emma Higgins.
oOlAOu SO1O, NdlSS 0u610 DdllSu2Sr,
Presentation, John Ware.
Piano solo, Miss Emma Higgins.
Presentation, Arthur Peck.
Orchestra selection.
The presentations to the members of
the class was very happy bit of the
evenings entertainment and the senti
ments expressed toward the class by
Miss Emma Higgins was another
clever effort.
During the evening the Senior class
was presented by the Junior class a
handsome bouquet of carnations. The
presentation was made by the Presi-
dent OF the Junior class, Sydney Lam
bert, and was received by President
Grim.
