CLAIM ROAD
WILL MAKE VALUE.

Every effort will be made by the
people interested in Fortescue and
chat locality to have O county and
State road buils across the meadows
from Newport to Fortescue island
The projectors of the improvement
are enthused with the work. and they
are satisfied they can get the Board
of Freeholders to act promptly. They
claim that the cost of the proposed
road would not be very great. There
is a little more than a mile of it, and
those who are pushing the scheme
claim that there is good foundation
for the road building.
1t is claimed that the Fortescue
property has been and is in much de-
mand. Scores of building lots were
sold upon the island last year and
there is a. demand for them now, de-
pending somewhat upon the probabil-
ity Of better road across the meadow.
Th projectors Of the road claim that
the township and county will gain
largely by erecting road, because it
will add much to the taxable valua-
tions, and this would pay interest
upon the road investment. 1t is de-
clared that Immediately the roadyi is
assured, that moment there will be
many contracts made for new homes.
summer cottages that will make a
dourishing summer resort. But it is
claimed that the new road ia abso-

GETTING QUAIL
To THE MARKET.

1here is every prospect that the
Sta Fieh and Game Commission
will arrange in the annual distribution
of game to put Cumberland county on
the list, and number of birds will
be placed in this section. With this
fresh invoice and those that were left
over from the hunting season there
should be bright prospects for another
year. Thus far, while it has been
very GOLD. there has been little snow,
and the birds have not suffered from
hunger, being able to get to their
feeding place.
A well known Bridgeton sportsman
declares that the slaughter of quail
during the season just closed was very
considerable, much greater than peo-
pie generally realize. He says that
this knowledge that there has been
much hunting for market, and the
high price of quail made the birds
very desirable for the pot hunter. He
has no hesitancy in saying that great
quantities of quail were sold to deal
ers who shipped them out of the State,
despite the fact that the law opposing
this custom is very stringent. This
quail hunter says that the quail should
be sold to dealers who shipped poul-
try, and that the birds ofttines were
packed with squads and the contents
of the packages were thus carefully
concealed. This gentleman is of the
opinion that hundreds of quail were
thus shipped out Of the State. He
says that in the lower part of the
county he knows of two men who be-
ween them killed four hundred quail
last season, ..all Of which were sold to
dealers ana presumably SHIPPED out
of the State.

SLIGHT CLUE
TO MISSING GIRL.

Salem, N. j., Jan. &C. A small
bunch of undiscovered hair that was
found inAlloway Greek. at Hancock IS
Bridge, this afternoon is the first real
ciew that the police have been able to
secure to the mysterious disappearance
of Miss Anna Newkirk. The creek
was dragged all day yesterday and this
morning without success, and the men
were about to give up the search,
when Chief of Police Waddington,
who has charge Of the investigation,
drew up from the bottom of the creek
few strands of hair, the color of
which greatly resambled Miss New
kinks.
The searchers were about to con-
tinue their work when the pyong of
their graphing iron broke and they
were compelled to stop for repairs.
BY the time they were ready to pro-
ceed it was dark and they had to give
up further efforts for the day. They
will begin in earnest in the morning,
fully believing that the body of the
unfortunate girl is in the creek. The
men are seriously hampsred in their
sear3h by the presence of large guam
titias of heavy ice in the creek.
!. This bit of evidence has made the
snicide theory more plausible than
ever, and the authorities will now
continue tn search thescreek as long
as There ia the least hope of finding
#ths bodys For several days the county
detectives investigated many small
elsws, and finally worked out every
tiiAg but the suicide theory as a. last
caaHoe before giving the mystery up.
The few strands of hair found this
morning is the first trace Of Miss
Newkirk since the night she is said to
have left home. dressed in q loose

MANY CHANGES
IN M. e. PULPITS.

When the New Jersey Conference
meets in March. it is quite probable
that four Of the five Methodist Epis-
copal ministers of this CITY, will sever
their connections with the churches
they are now serving. This will be
something of surprise to many who
had thought that there would prob
ably be but two changes.
1t has been generally understood for
some time that Rev Daniel B. Harris,
of Trinity Church, and Dr. w. W.
Moffett, of Central Church. would be
taken from this city. The former has
been at Trinity Church for five years
while DR.. Moffett has been in Bridge
ton for three years.
Now it is understood that there will
be two more changes. A committee
has been appointed by the Eighth
Street M. E. Church, of Camden, to
invite Rev. s. K. Moore, Of the
Fourth Church, to that pastorate.
The Camden Church is exceedingly
anxious for Mr.. Moore, and it is un-
derstood that he may accept the call
providing the Presiding Elder recon-
mend the change a beneficial one
1t is also certain that Rev. A. Dare
will leave the Wesley Memorial
Church. Little has been said concern
ing the change, bat it is practically
determined upon.
This will leave but one Of the pres
ent M. E. ministers in this city, Rev.
j.. D. Bills, of Commerce Street NJ
q. Church. The church is very much
pleased with the work and he will
probably remain here as long as the
people can keep him.
