London Papers Regard Cars Note
as Only a Personal Expression.

London, Oct. 27.--The morning pa
peis display great impatience over the
delay OF the Russian government in ac-
cording satisfaction for the Dogger
Bank affair. The emperor's communi-
cation, while it relieves the immediate
tension, is held only to be personal
expression OF regret, and it is argued
that unless the Russian government
speedily follows suit situation OF the
greatest danger will arise, Editorial
articles demand that the Baltic squad
ron must be stopped in its irresponsi-
BILE course, for otherwise there is no
safety for the shipping Of any nation
ality. The Standard asks:
sis this ill-omened squadron, with
it's demoralized crews and incompetent
officers, to continue it's crazy career
and become an intolerable nuisance
and menace to the civilized worldP"
And, with other papers, declares there
will be woIK for the British navy un-
less Russia recalls or stops its feet at
some neutral pert for investigation and
the punishment Of the guilty parties.
In this connection, greatest satisfac-
tion is expressed at the unanimity of
foreign expressions in support of Great
Britain's attitude in the matter, es-
pecially at German denunciation OF the
conduct of the Baltic fleet.
Public interest and even anxiety
shows not the slightest sign Of waning
The Russo-Japanese war is almost for
gotten, and the papers are occupied al
most ext lusively with the North sea
affair. So far, the attitude of the gov.
ernment meets with the approval Of
the public, who are greatly gratified
with the instructions of the admiralty
ior cooperation between the Mediter-
ranean, Channel and Home squad dns

New Sports of Winter.

Burlington. N. j.. Jan. 11.-Sleigh-
ing on the river and skating on the
streets has been tho remarkable sport
ing program for Burlington during the
past week. The skating on the river
having been spoiled by the snow, the
younger element have turned to the
streets, which are nearly as smooth as
the surface of pond. The thick ice
covering the Delaware makes it per-
fectly safe for sleighs to GROSS and
Harry Matson, an enterprising farmer
living on the Columbus road. has been

The river at this point is a mile wiae,
and passengers are taxed % cents a
head for the trip across. Other sleighs
are carting the freight and merohan-
disc which at other times is shipped
via the river steamboats,.

Warm Beer Now.

Atlantic City, Jan. lit is barely
possible that before long when a
patron enters and asks for glass of
beer, the man behind the bar will
quietly inquire:
How'll you have it, warm or
cold?"
A new fad has come to town within
week. 1t is nothing more nor less
than the drinking of beer with the
chill extracted. Like all fads it has
quickly attained considerable por ular-
ity, but the life of the fad is already
thought likely to be of brief duration.
Give me beer in hot goblet -
said man in an Atlantic avenue cafe.
yesterday afternoon. He drank it
contentedly and then turning ND his
coat collar wandered out into the cold
again.
"It hardly seems reasonable to chill
beer in an ice box and then warm it
for customers said the proprietor,
"and don't believe the thing will
last.

1t is to Laugh.

The last issue of the Vineland New
continues to say funny things regard
ing the moving of the county seat t
Vineland. Here is the latest effort
and it is fairly funny:
The plan to move the County
Seat of Cumberland, County from
Bridgeton to Vineland, first pre-
sented to the people through the
columns of the News, is being dis.
cussed throughout the entire
county. and has met with approval
on all sides.
"That Bridgeton is worried
about the matter is clearly shown
by an editorial that appeared in
the Daily Pioneer of that place.
In most ridiculous manner the
editor founders about in vain
endeavor to present a reason why
the change should not be made.
Like the sinking man grasping for
straw the Pioneer ends up by
saying that Vineland could not
properly accommodate the large
crowds of people that are called to
county seat. This is really the
most ridiculous part of the argu-
ment as the writer of the article
knows full we'll. Bridgeton has
gained reputation all over the
country for its poor hotels, while
those of VineIand are noted for
their excellence of service and ao-
oommodations.
Many publio-spirited men
throughout Cumberland County
have been interviewed by News
representatives regarding this mat
ter and they were quick to see the
advantage Of such a change.
beautiful, picturesque Vine
land can furnish an excellent site
for those handsome, new county
buildings. +"

A Remarkable Desk.

The MCPHERSON Furniture Company
has a remarkable desk in the East
Commerce street store. Some time
since Harry Mcpherson was driving
through Salem county and discovered
at farm house a most valuable an
tique treasure. The lady of the house
had no special regard for things an
tique and said she was perfectly will
ling to dispose Of it. Mr.. Mcpherson
has the desk at the store and is now
doing it all over, taking off the finish
and will put on new polish, with the
antique brass trimmings that belong
to desk of it's class.
The piece of furniture is heavy, SUBJ
stantially made of heavy walnut, and
has drop lid in front The desk is
filled with small, handy drawers, and
has numerous secret apartments.
Some of the small drawers were origi-
nally used to preserve specimens of
turnip and other seed, and upon the
inside of the drawers. is written upon
the wood the date, the oldest one is
1850. The writing is plainly legible
and is of the old fashioned script of
centuries ago. There is no doubt but
that the desk is at least of the 10th
century. Panels. solid looking par
titions, give way when one discovers
how to move them and secret hiding
place is furnished. The desk has these
mysterious secret places all through it,
and ii burglar would be more baffled
in searching in it for treasure than he
would be in a burglar proof safe. It
will be remarkable and valuable
piece of furniture when it is put in
shape.

Had to XIII Fine Guernseys.

Daretown, N. j., Jan. 9.-Twenty
head of as fine a drove of Guernsey
COWS as ever seen in the State, belong
ing to Charles E. Richmond, of this
place, were recently killed and the car
casses taken to a fertilizer establish
ment. baving become affected with
tuberculosis. For these Mr.. Richmond
will receive about 5000, including what
the State will pay Had the COWS been
put up at auction they would have
brought fully $4,000. For five of them
he was recently offered $1,000; and for
one refused offers of $500. Every
tainted animal Of the drove has been
killed, leaving him only nine perfect
animals.
Inquiry for the cause Of the disease
which affected these fine COWS leads to
the suspicion that a COW which Mr..
Richmond purchased and placed in
his dairy was responsible for the out
break.

j. e. DIAMENT
DIES OF SMALLPOX

John E. Diament, brother of Sheriff
Charles G. Diament, died early Sun
day morning at his home in Cedar
vile. He had been ill but few days
Last week physicians discovered
that Mr. Diament was suffering from
smallpox, and the house and family
were quarantined. 1t was thought
that the patient was doing we'll. but
early Sunday morning he was taken
much worse and died about five
O'Clock. Arrangements were made at
once for interment and the body was
consigned to the tomb last night after
nine O'Clock.
Some time since Mrs. John E. Dia-
ment visited Philadelphia, and upon
her return home was feeling some
what ill. A rash or breaking out ap-
peared upon her skin, but it was not
thought to be serious. 1t is now gen.
orally accepted that she was suffering
from varioIoid. That Mr.. Diament
contracted the disease from his wife
there is little doubt The widow and
two sons, both living at home, survive
the deceased.
Mr.. Diament was fifty-seven years
of age. He was born upon the old
homestead at Jones' Island. AS a
youngaman he went over to Delaware,
made little money. and returning
here. went in the canning business,
with his brother, the present Sheriff.
The latter afterward retired from the
business and Mr.. John E. Diament
continued the business, increasing and
expanding it. until it became a most
important one. His son Frank is in
the business with him. Some few
years ago, Mr.. Diament started large
factory at Tuckahoe which still
being operated. He was a director in
the Cumberland National Bank. In
fact the last time he was in Bridgeton
was on the 31st of December when he
attended meeting of the Board OF
Directors of the Bank.
Mr.. Diament was most estimable
gentleman and had the respect of the
entire community where lie was well
known. Tt was especially distressing
to his family and friends that death
should come in such manner and
surrounded by such circumstances.

GUILTY, OR NOT
OVER ON THE HILL.

The criminal business of the January
term was taken up Tuesday. and it is
not likely that much more than this
week will be required to dispose OF all
the matters that Prosecutor Fithian
has to bring to the attention Of the
COURT.
OF the thirteen bills Of indictments
found several of the defendants have
pleaded guilty, and of the charges to
be aired before the jury. there are
few of special Importance. AS re-
suit, if nothing interferes the Prose-
cutor will be able to dispose of the
matters pretty fast.
/ sAll of the jurymen we're present
when .the call was made, and
there was quite an attendance Of wit
nesses and others interested in the
proceedings set down for the day.
The Court room was packed to the
doors, many people having to stand.
A jury of twenty -four men was drawn
to return on Tuesday, February 23d.
Frank Feaster, charged with lar
oeny, plead guilty and was sentenced
to three months in county jail.
The bail in the case of Charles Min
non. charged with larceny. was for
feited as he did not appear.
Elsie Shaw, charged with bigamy.
was given IA months in State prison.
Mamie Jones, larceny, one month
in county Jail.
Alexander Pierce and Noah Locka-
man, who had plead non vult to steal
ing chickens, were represented by
lawyer Rex Donnelly, who entered a
very able plea for them. Pierce was
given six months in county Jail, to
start from day of commitment.
Lockaman was given the same sem
tenoe.
The case against David Holcombe
for illegal sale of liquor was then
taken up. Mr.. Holcomb is repre-
sented by lawyers Samuel Iredell and
Eckard P. Budd.
The first witness in this case was
John Beck. who had purchased alco-
hol at Holcomb's drug store several
times, sometimes as often as three
times a week. He always took a
bottle with prescription on it for
the alcohol. The prescription was
given by DR.. Kirchhoff; he had never
purchased whiskey without the pre-
scription at Holcombe's.
Thomas Fields testified as to having
purchased whiskey and alcohol at Hol-
combs sometimes three times a day.
He averaged twice day every day in
the week, paying him dollar a
quart for the whiskey and getting the
alcohol in quantities as small as five
cents worth.
Frank Riley was called, but knew
nothing Of the case
Harris Facemyre was the next wit
ness. He had purchased whiskey and
alcohol at Holoomb's drug store, but
not frequently and then always had a
prescription.
Oliver Dudley was put on the stand,
but was vigorously objected to by
Lawyer Budd, as his name did not ap-
pear among the witnesses mentioned
on the indictment. He quoted several
cases where the witnesses un-
der like circumstances were not al
lowed to testify.
