Democratic Canvas.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 4.-Chairman
William B. Gourley, of the Democratic
State Committee, had a conference
with the county leaders from all parts
of New Jersey yesterday at the Jeffer-
sonian Club, in Newark. A plan was
adopted for a systematic canvass OF
the State, bossed by the county leaders
in their respective districts.
Such a canvass was made in 1876,
and there has been none since. Chair
man Gourley stated to the county
leaders that the most strenuous efforts
must be made this fall to please the
Democratic National Committee, and
that only by the most persistent work
could the State be carried on the Gov
ernorship.
When asked who was to be the Guber-
material candidate Gourley could not
guess, and some of the county leaders
declared it was ridiculous to ask them
to commence a canvass of the State
when within twelve days of the State
convention no one could mention the
name of the Gubernatorial candidate
However, the majority believe in the
State canvass, and it will be under
taken
There werespresent at the conference
besides Gourley former State Senator
Henry d. Winton, Off Bergen county /;
Thomas J. Prickett, of Burlington !;
Sheriff Samuel Ewing, of Cape May !;
Elvin W. Crane, of Essex; JamesfD.

FreehOlders.

Two Freeholders are to be elected in
Bridgeton this fall. In the First ward
the term of Jacob r. Elwell expires.
The Republicans will probably name
as it's candidate Mr.. Jere N Ogden.
of North Pearl Street, a gentleman
highly thought of in the community,
and who will be entitled to the sup
port of tae people Of his ward. He
will be if selected, highly credit
able official.
In the Fourth ward it seems to be
generally conceded that Freeholder
Eli E. Rogers will be selected to sue
ceed himself. Mr.. Rogers has been
one Of the substantial men Of the
Board and has carefully looked after
the interests of the County.
In Millville there are two Free
holders to be elected. Edward H.
Corson of the First ward will succeed
himself and it is understood that
Samuel B. Dunham will have no op-
position in the Third ward.

The case of Albert Lilly against the
Reliable Marohine Co. Ewing &
Hamllton) was tried before Judge
Trenchard Tuesday afternoon.
Chas: E. Sheppard, Esq, repre-
sented Mr.. Lilly, the plaintiff, and
George Elmer, Esq, appeared for the
Machine Co., defendant.
From the history of the case as out
lined by Mr. Sheppard it appeared
that Mr.. Lilley bargained with the
Machine Co., to put an engine in his
shad boat. The price to be paid for
the engine was $235. $1OO was to be
paid in cash, which was done, and
the balance was note of $135, Sc
cured by a chattel mortgage on the
boat and engine.
Before the engine was completed,
the Machine Co., stopped and did not
complete the job, claiming that they
could not realize on the note by hav-
ing it discounted at the bank.
Mr. Lilly sued to recover the 500
paid, together with interest from
July 9Th, and damages and losses in
CURED, altogether. aggregating 5000.
The case was tried before jury
and consumed the afternoon.
Thd defense was that the note given
was worthless, and they invested the
money for their engine.
The jury went out about 4 O'Clock.
The jury in the case of A. Lilly
against the Reliable Machine Go. came
in about o'clock last night, retnrn-
ing a verdict of $120-$1O0 for the sum
paid and 500 damages.

Had to See Great-grandchild.

Millville, Sept. 6.-For the first
time in more than quarter of CEN
tury Mrs. Sarah Souder, SO years old,
of South Second street, to-day travelled
on railroad train. The last trip that
Mrs. Souder made was to the Centen-
nial Exhibition at Philadelphia, when
a wreck occurred, and she decided
never to travel in a railroad coach
again. Being anxious to see her only
great-granddaughter, in Gloucester,
Mrs. Souder broke her resolution.

GREAT ROAD
AT MAORICETOWN

The County legislators last Friday
met at Mauricetown to finally arrange
for the settlement of the expenses for
the building of a state and county
road leading eastward from the $50, 90
Mauricetown bridge to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station. 1t was not an
altogether propitious day for the meet
ing for upon the arrival of the Board
there was a decided shower of rain,
but later the sun came out and the
remainder of the day was quite pleas
ant.
The mile and a quarter of new road
built out OF the treasury of the state
and county is now complete. It is the
county's first attempt at road build
ing, and it has been an expensive ex-
pertinent. The road which was
thought at first might be built for
$12, 900 or $15, 200 stands complete at
cost Of $45, 300 and there is mile
and quarter of roadway.
Contractor A. H. Lupton of this
city has fulfilled every part of the
agreement he has made with the
county. Indeed, according 20 the
supervising engineer, he has done
more. 1t has been prodigious job
for the Contractor. An inconceivable
amount of filling has been placed in
the meadows and the sinking roadbed
has been filled upon with tons and
tons of mud, sand and gravel, and
along the entire length of the road, on
either side of the road, has been
erected guard rail More will be
said about the building of this road
in the very near future in these col
umns, because the entire county has
very considerable interest in the struc-
ture.
At the meeting of the Board yester-
day every member was present except
ing Frank Lore, Of Vineland. The
meeting was held in the plantation
home of Contractor Lupton. Daniel
Pedrick brought Freeholder Jacob
Elwell to Mauricetown in a red auto
mobile and this is the first of the
modern machines to go over the new
road.
The road Committee with State
Road Supervisor Budd carefully went
over the entire road matter and pre-
sented the whole statement to the
Board. The extra allowances for the
contractor for special work were
agreed upon, and theIBoard directed
the County Collector to pay Mr.. Lup-
ton ninety-five per cent of the entire
amount due. Five per cent is to be
held by the County for one year to
prove the durability and satisfaction
of the road.
Subsequently the members OF the
Board with City Councilman Charles
D. Moore and J. Thomas Schiller, as
guests, went to the splendid Hotel
Hendee where the landlord, the
former Sheriff, served splendid din
ner giving abundant satisfaction.
The entire party then went over to
Bivalve, Mr.. Lupton taking most of
them in a launch, while the others
were driven across.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 4.-Last

to cross continent 3 to Z warm wave
2 to 6, cool wave to 9. Next disurb-
ance will reach Pacific coast about Z,

IL. Warm wave will cross west of
Rockies about 7, great central valleys
8, eastern states II. Cool wave will
cross west of Rockies about 10, great
central valleys 10, eastern states IA.
This disturbance will be accom-
panied by severe storms from start to
finish. Very cool weather preceding
and following the storm centre andson
ly moderately high temperature be-
tween the cool waves. Frosts will ac-
company the cool wave scheduled to
reach line of upper Mississippi river
about s but am not expecting serious
damages to crops from these frosts.
September temperature is expected to
average very high and therefore the
cool waves are not expected to go low
enough to bring killing frosts even in
the northern spring wheat sections.
Severe planetary disturbances are ex-
ever the storm center are at that time
weather features are expected to as
sumo great intensity. l cannot always
deermine what features of the weather
will develope to these extremes wbut
the future will probably give us such
knowledges. The great extremes pre-
dicted for near August 11--that is
within two days thereof developed
into very extreme heat in the great
central valleys and electric storms in
northeastern and southeastern states.
am very greatly encouraged in my
weather work. Friends have come to
my aid with money and with clerical
assistance and have so far completed
my newly copied records as to now
devote three fourths of my time to ex-
periments that are necessary to the
complexion of my system OF Meteor
ology. The missing links in these Sc
crets of nature are rapidly yielding to
my efforts and I will soon publish a
challenge to the scientific world to test
my forecasts by any set Of rules they
may be willing to publish as their
own. My health is also very much
better and friends of my work need
have no fears as to my final and COM
plete success.

Machinery Backward.

1t Is not at present possiblh to tell
when the Ferracute Machine Com
pany will be able to start operations
in the handsome new plant in course
OF construction. The delay is caused
because it is impossible to get the
necessary machinery and tools for the
shops, but they should be along very
soon now. The entire interior of the
new buildings are now being white
washed, which will make them very
light and attractive.
