We think it safe to state that the hail
and wind storm of Friday evening was
without precedent in the memory OF our
oldest inhabitants; hail stones were over an
| inch in diameter, the road in both direc-
tions was impossible until the limbs were
removed the following morning.
We regret exceedingly the slight fall by
which Bessie v. Ogden fractured her wrist
on Friday. The injured member is as COM
Portable as can be expected.
Joseph t. Carter also sustained a severe
shock from fall last week, but we are
] glad to be able to report no bones broken.
Joseph Woodnutt, of Philadelphia, has
been visiting friends here this week.
Gideon Peaslee and wife, entertained
Pauline Holmes, of Baltimore, last week.
She recently attended the thirty-ffth re-
union of her class at Vassar College.
George Lodge, wife and son, of Pauls-
boro, spent a few days recently with
Walter L. Tomlin and mother

We extend congratulations to Clifford B.
I Heritage and Anna Gooden, who were
quietly married in their home at Wood
bury on the twenty ninth. The young
couple are well known and highly respected
in this community and their many friends
wish them large share of the prosperity
and gladness that belong to life.

Milton w Buzby and wife attended the
wedding of Marion Proud and Kenneth
Nicholson in Philadelphia, last week.
Hannold, Paulsboro's ice merchant, has
been serving our people most satisfactorily,
and we regret exceedingly the discontinue
ance of the service. Eight families signed
an agreement TO be regular patrons either
on Friday on Saturday, taking total of
five hundred and ten pounds if Hannold
could be induced to reserve the route. The
agreement was not forwarded owing to the
information received that Charles Duffell
had arranged to serve Mt. Royal, Clarks-
boro and Mickleton, but the supply on
Saturday was far short of the demand. We
hope dependable satisfactory ice service
may soon be established.

Cady Herrick, the defeated candidate
of the Democratic party Tor COVER
nor, will leave tomorrow Tor an eX-
tended visit to Havana for his health.
Upon his return he will resume the
practice of the law.
In discussing the result OF the elec-
ton Judge Herrick said:
Perhaps the Republican party
would have won this election IN any
event But the magnitude OF thelr
victory is due to the personality OF
President Roosevelt and IT is ms VIC
tory. and not that of the party. Ever
since he entered public life as mem
beer of the assembly soon after his
graduation from college he has had
a picturesque career and his person
ality has been an exceedingly attract
i've one to the people. More than Il
year ago | stated that / thought him
the most skillful politician that had
occupied the White House IN my time
Recent events have siren gtIseIled my
opinion in that respect. 1 tdhe Oh my
hat to him.
This is no time for Democrats 10
ween and moan. Those who are DEM
ocrats on principle will continue the
fight. ANY one can fight When he is

show that it can keep 1t up When

REPORT ON THE BEEF TRUST.
We Are Told That Any Suggestion OF
Action Against Combinations is
Premature.
-(Bv the Associated Press)


Washington. Nov. 10.-Ten thousand
congratulatory messages have been re-
ceived by President Roosevelt. Not
withstanding their immense number
the President has decided that each
one is to be answered and this work
will require, 0erhaps, several weeks.
President Roosevelt received to-day
an undiminished number of callers. AT
torney General Moody and James r.
Garfield commissioner of corporations
were among the visitors. Later they
will take up with the President the
work of Mr.. Garfields bureau. con-
corning which the President will have
some recommendations TO make to
Congress in his annual message.
The investigation of the beef trust
instituted by the Bureau of Corpora
tons at the instance ongress prac-
tically has been completed. No inti-
nation is given as to the nature of the
report, or of what recommendations if
any, Mr.. Garfield may submit. 1t can
be said authoritatively that any suS
gestions that legal action may be taken
by the government against the beer
trust or against any aggregation or
capital, are premature. No decision
yet has been reached, and none will be
reached until the report has been con-
sidered thoroughly by the President
and his advisers.

Washington Nov. 10.-The annual
report of the Board of Ordnance and
Fortifcations. headed by Major Cen
eraI Gillespie, shows that an unusual
amount of experimental work has
been performed by the board during

seven 12-inch guns out of hte total of
100 guns contracted for in 1891 re-
main to be completed and the last of
these will be made by August /. of
next year.
The board renews it's recommends
tons of last year for the immediate
procurement of medium calibre rapid
fire guns for coast defense. The board
also wants a reserve as without suf-
fcient supply of ammunition the coast
defense armament is useless. An
abundant supply of ammunition for
target practice also is requested and
other measures are recommended
looking to the installment of range
finders, searchlights, telephone lines
and other necessities of a modern
coast defense system.

Paris, Nov 10.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse discussing the Moorish ques-
ton in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day said the base of Frances colonial
empire was in the Mediterranean.
Morocco under French influence meant
Algeria strengthened:. under foreign
influence it meant Algeria continually

establish French infuence-in other
words strengthen Frances power i'm
the Mediterranean without offending
the powers.
I'VE have silently pursued the real
i2ation of this aim. NJ Delcasse said.
"and have wasted no time or efforts.
We are now united with Italy in firm
friendship. We have made with Spain
an arrangement dictated by respect
for International equity and desire for
the peaceful perpetuation of Morocco.
This arrangement is based on the in
tegrity of Morocco and the suZerainty
of the Sultan. What we cOncede -
valuable only 10 England; what Eng
land comedies is valuable only to us.
The world is now convinced that
French policy seeks Frances advant-
age only through harmony, which Is
beneficial TO ALL"

Ecuador Sued for Breach of Con-
tract.
CIV the Associated Press. J

New York. Nov. 1O-Archer Har-
man. who formed the Ecuador De-
velopment Company and who built
the Railroad from Guayaquil to Quito
under a contract with the government
of Ecuador. has been sued by Charles
l.. Bucki, for $5O,65O for breach of
contract.
Buckis home is in Florida. To
bring about a speedy trial he assigned
his claim against Hartman to friend
Harry M. Samson, who lives in South
Nyack, Rockland county. The suit
was brought in the Supreme Court
of that county to avoid the congestion
of the Nvack courts. The case will
probably be reached some time next
week.
Rucki alleges that he made an
agreement with Symth Hartman in
February, 1902. to induce certin man
ufacturers to establish factories and
mills along the line of the Guayaquil
and Quito Railroad in Ecuador He
alleges that his share of the profits
was to he - IL per cent, Harman's
25 per cent. He says he spent Feb
ruary, March. April and May, 1902,
working on Harman's scheme. He
pledged a number of American capt.
falists and manufacturers TO investi-
gate the possibilities of Ecuador.
When the capitalists were ready to
dustrics. Bucki says Hartman went
back on him.
Bucki claims that his share of the
profits that did not materialiZe would
have been $4S,300. He adds to his
claim 5000 month for his services
and a bill for his expense in getting
an outfit for a trip to Ecuador which
he never took. Hartman, he says, told
him TO get ready to sail with him TO
South America, but did not meet him
in New York as agreed, and then re-
undated the entire contract Hartman
saws no such contract was ever made.
Hartman is said to be many times
q millionaire. He was born in the
South and came to New York num-
Der of years ago. He organized the
Ecuador Development Company. I'm
vder contract with the Ecuador gov
ernment the company bought the ma
tional debt of Ecuador amounting to
S3,5O0,0OO, held in England. The
railroad was built in 1900. Hartman
had associated with him Peter Coop
err. son of ex-Mayor Hewitt. The
president of the company is Robert
M. Thompson. president of the New
York Metal Exchange.
