Those Three Dear Boys Of Mine.


The morning dawned so lovely.
The sky almost divine,
But mothers heart vas grieving
For chose three dear boys Of mine"
They left only yesterday.
Our loved ones, almost men.
While mothers heart was praying
That 1--WE might meet again"
They said good bye" like soldiers,
Our boys, so brave and true;
But neither Of our darlinEs
Had eer worn the gray or blue.
But now my heart is resting.
Almost forgetting pain.
For am thinking. thinking.
That we shall meet again.
ask our loving Saviour,
Their fathers God and mine.
That he will ever guide them.
Those three dear boys Of mine"
OH Father. shield our darngs,
And keep them eer from sin,
And in Iife's earnest battle
Help them the fight to win.
crave not fer our loved ones
The wealth this world can give.
only ask our Father
To teach them how to live.
leave them with the Saviour
That dearest friend Of mine,
For can ever trust Him
With chose three dear boys of mine"

Tom Reeds Collar

Among the prominent men OF New
England there were none, perhaps,
who wore larger collar than Tom
Reed. One hot day in the summer
of 1891 Reed was in Portsmouth and
having to wait over for a train, he
decided to make an impromptu toilet,
changing his collar, etc. SO he hied
himself to the nearest haberdasher
and began a general survey Of the
collars displayed in the store.
Waited on, sir2" queried one Of
the clerks.
Not yet" responded Reel, and
then added: Il would like q collar"
What size2" piped the clerk.
"Size 20, answered Reed.
1--WE don't keep collars 30 large,
but | think you may be accommodate
ed at the store Just around the corner.
Reed found the store around the
corner to be harness shop.
1t is related that a sophomore on
commencement day was crossing the
campus Of Emory College, Oxford,
Ga, with he sweetheart. She stopped
to read the incnption upon the stone
to the memory Of Ignstius Few. the
first president. What does that
mean" she asked, pointing to the
line: "Vivit-non mortuus est.
Proud Of his ability to translate La
tin, the student explained: HE
lives. No, be don't he's dead"
They were seated 30 close together
on the Parlor sOfa that there was no
room between them for an argument,
when she suddenly let loose large
and soulful sigh.
Whats the matter, dsrling?" be
asked.
"Oh, she replied, 81 just happen.

Bridge Placed.

The old wooden railroad bridge crossing
the Rancocas Greek between Delanco and
Riverside was torn away shortly after one
O'Clock Sunday morning, and the big steel
draw swung in place in the new bridge
recently erected.
The real work of removing the old
bridge began early Saturday morning.
The old planking which held together the
pilings was first knocked loose. and later
a number of the pilings and other portions
of the woodwork were removed Only
enough supports were left standing to
insure the safety of the trains which pass
ed over during the remainder of the day
Early in the evening carload of labor
ers arrived from Camden, and these men
were at once put to work tearing away
the woodwork of the bridge. AS soon as
it became dark several big Buckeye"
torches were lighted, making the scene as
bright as day. At 12 % Sunday morning
the last train passed over the bridge, and
the old draw was swung around, unfast-
ened and blocked up on the woodwork
nearby. The remaining supports were
then cut loose and allowed to fall into the
creek. Tracks were laid under the heavy
steel girders. and on these were placed
hundreds of little iron rollers. AS soon as
the old bridge had been torn away the
wedges holding the new draw were knock
ed loose and a steam pile driver began to
pull it into position. Although weighing
more than 400 tons, it moved easily over
the smooth iron pathway until it reached
the centre of of the stone abutment The
line from the pile driver was then cut
loose and the draw slowly lowered The
numerous little bolts were slipped into
place. and few minutes later the new
draw swung into position amid the cheers
of the workmen and scores of spectators
who had gathered to view the scene.
While the work was going on at the
bridge two gangs of men were at work on
either shore connecting the rails to the
main line, and few hours after the last
pieces of the old draw had fallen over into
the creek trains were running over the
new structure on schedule time.
The old bridge had only one aperture
81 feet wide-for boats, while the new one
has draw $50 feet long, with openings
on either side 40 feet in width. The latter
structure is also 500 feet long and is feet
8 inches higher than the old one.
The work of construction was under the
supervision of Assistant Engineer Robert
P Snowden and George L. Robbins
master carpenter of Camden. They were
assisted by their foremen. Frank A
Brown, of Bordentown. and Hosea Moore
| of Mount Holly.

Court.


Judge Gaskill imposed one sentence, on
Saturday, the victim being William JEFF
reys, of Burlington, who will reside at
the county Jail for the next three months.
He was charged with the larceny of 81 65
from child's savings bank.
Alva Carly, of Florence, charged with
committing an atrocious assault and bat
terry on three women, and who was re-
leased under $500 bail by Justice of the
peace, the latter being relative of the
defendant, was rearrested, on Friday, on
bench warrant issued at the suggestion
of Judge Gaskill because of insufficient
bail. On Saturday the amount was in
creased to $3.50, which was furnished by
Edward Durell and Matthew Clyde
David Warner, of Bordentown, was be-
fore the court charged with appropriate
ing horse and wagon to his own use in
order to satisfy his desire for a ride 1t
was ordered that his condition be inquired
into, and he may be committed to the in
stitution for feeble-minded boys and girls
at Vineland.
In the Orphans Court the will of Viii.
liam NJ Shepherd. deceased, was presented
| for probate. The matter had been taken
out of the jurisdiction of the Surrogate
because of the filing of caveat by Mr..
Cole, an Atlantic City lawyer, who later
appeared on the other side for the pro-
ponent. Citations and subpenas had
been issued, the matter was proven before
the court and the will admitted.
The making of this will recalled another
death bed scene, where a nod of the head
was used in declaring the document to be
the last will and testament of the deceased
who could not speak above a whisper
Notwithstanding this fact the will was
drawn by Charles E. Fletcher, who is very
deaf At his request two persons signed
the document as witnesses. There is moi
single formation of letter in the three
attempts made by the decedent to sigr
his will
On motion of Harold B. Wells, the &C
count of the estate of Phoebe Ann Patter
son was presented and allowed.
On motion of John II. Hutchinson, thu
account of the executors of the estate Of
Patrick Manion was presented and al
lowed.
On motion of Samuel W. Shinn, thu
court made an order in the estate of Mary
W. Roberts. deceased, fixing April IS fo
a hearing for the appointment of an ad
ministrator.

Ex-senator Trick does not need introduc
tion to majority of the residents of the
county of Burlington, although there may
be few of the younger generation who
do not know him. He lives at Vincen
town, being born close to where he now
resides, on the 18th of March, 1888. After
attending the local schools he became a
student at Treemount Seminary, Morris
town, and concluded his education al
Freehold. For three years after leaving
the Institute at the latter place he engaged
in farming with his father. where he re-
NAMED for three years, when he took
charge of the b omestead farm.
He took an early interest in politics, be.
coming identified with the Wing party,
and when the Republican party was or
ganized he became an earnest and ardent
adherent of its principles aud has chung
to them ever since. To be a Republican
in those days meant to be rember of a
party that did not have as large a major
ity as it now does in this county and there
was plenty of work to be done. In the
fall of 1862 Mr.. Trick was nominated for
the Assembly to represent the old fourth
district. He was elected by IS majority.
In 1868 he was reelected by the increased
majority of 100 and the next year he was
returned by majority of 100.
During his three years in the House he
served upon number of important COM
mittees, in 1854 being one of the special
committee to adjust the deadlock in the
Legislature. In 1870 he was elected to the
State Senate. and while he ran consider
ably ahead of his ticket, mis- majority was
only 155. His experience in the House
and his honorable personal character Sc.
cured him position on the most import
ant committees and he was frequently
required to act in the role of arbitrator.
and he has been called upon more than
once since that time to adjust matters of
vital moment to the party in this county,
and his judgment has been good. He left
the service of the State with honor to
himself and his constituents, without a
personally or officially. and he has main
tanned that high character ever since
In the affairs of his township he always
took an active part and has occupied some
of the offices. His advice has always
been sought, and within the past two
months he was selected as one of com.
mittee to confer with the township author
tiles in matter which had been presented
to the board which has now gone out of
existence to make room for the court on
which he takes place. While farmer BY
profession he also is a surveyor and it is
probable that no man in Burlington
county has better general knowledge of
public and individual properties. Being
former member of the Senate his NOM
ination was confirmed at once, and THE
News extends its congratulations to the
Hon. Henry J. Trick.
