APPOINTMENTS Tonight.

Trenton, N. j., Jan 2l.-Governor
Stokes will send two appointments
and possibly more to the Senate Mon
day night. There will be former
Senator Elijah O. Hutchinson, of Mer-
Ger county, to be State Road Com
missioner, succeeding the late Henry
1. Budd, Of Mount Holly, and the
Hon. John Rellstab, to succeed him
self as judge in the Court Of Common
Pleas Of Mercer county.
Judge Rellstab's term does not ex-
pire for several months. but he is a
personal friend Of the Governor, and
the latter will pay him the compliment
OF re-nominating him at once.
Governor Stokes has just signed the
bill passed by the Legislature last
Tuesday to permit the holding of
special elections in Union and Sussex
counties, where Assembymen have
died.
The bill was declared to be defective,
but it has since been found that it can
be used as far as it goes. Another
bill will be passed tonight to further
augment the authority required to
hold these elections.

days since there appeared the quarterly
statements OF the Cumberland Ma
tional Banks, the Bridgeton National
Bank and the Cumberland Trust Com
pany. Ii any one compared the three
statements, analyzed them a little bit.
did little figuring, they must have
been impressed that these safeguarded
and splendidly conducted institutions
are doing magnificenG business.
The detailed reports showed that the
aggregate business OF the three banks
amounted to So, 734. 734. Al. The Bridge
ton Bank showed a business of ST. AT.
24l. Oh; the Cumberland Bank, 81 827,-
466.64, and the Trust Company $685.
0S6. 70. In capital stock of the three
banks show an aggregate OF 1915, coo,
with surplus amounting to 1926, ,O00,
total of $500, OOO.. The Cumberland
capital stock is $3.50, 600, with $500. 900
surplus, the Bridgeton capital stock
of 800, 900, with the same amount of
surplus, and the Cumberland Trust
capital is now $125, 600 with 1926, 600 in
surplus
The total amount of the peoples
money upon deposit in the three banks
on the last day OF December was $2,-

as follows: Cumberland Bank, s., ,2O7, :
7.S6; Bridgeton Bank, 1894, 1898. ga,
and the Cumberland Trust, 1886. 412. 73.

Cumberland Bank had 500. .O12. So; the
Bridgeton Bank, $7S, 935. II, and the

Another interesting fact is disclosed
and that is the people have in the

SHORT COURT SESSION.

The Court of Quarter Sessions and
Orphans Court sat Monday, Judge
Trenchard presiding.
All the, jurors of the January term
were in Court in obedience to the
Courts order.
Sentences were imposed on Frank
Ballinger and George and David Brad
way, who were convicted of assauIting
Constable Seabrook.
Ballinger was sentenced to pay a
fine OF $25 and to stand committed un-
til fine is paid.
The two Bradways were sentenced
to six months in Jail.
The business of the Court was then
begun by the calling of the officers and
general panel of jurors.
The first case called for trial was
the case of Edward H. Stokes. trea-
surer of the city of Millville, against
Ion E. Terry. on appeal.
Rex A. Donnelly and former Judge
John W. Wescott appeared for Terry.
and Charles E. Sheppard for Mr..
Stokes.
Before beginning the case lengthy
conference was held by the lawyers
with the Judge at side bar. The re-
suit OF the conference was that the
Judge announced, at its conclusion,
that the case against Terry would not
be tried at this time, but that it
would be tried at some future time.
The Court then excused the Jurors
for the term, stating, however, that
the special panel for Tuesday were
not excused.
The Court then adjourned.

Sheriff Sales.

Sheriff Diament Saturday afternoon
made sale of two properties and quite
a crowd of people were attracted about
the auction rooms Of s. M. Hail.
One property was Millville tract,
house and lot, and it was bought by
Edward P. Hampton for $500. The
bidding upon this property was not
very brisk.
The Bridgeton Iron Works plant
was next offered for sale and was bid
In by O. w. Shoemaker for $25Oo. 1t
is understood that the sale Is to clear
up title, and will not in anyway inter-
fere with the operation of the plant
along the lines it is now conducted on.

HUNT BROTHERS.
Much Speculation.

There seems to be a considerable
amount of speculation as to the truth
OF the rumor that the Central Railroad
Company will install electricity upon
its road between Winslow junction
and Bayside. The information con-
cerning the proposed enterprise comes
wholly by way of Vineland. None Of
the Central Railroad people hereabouts
seem to know anything about the mat
ter. One gentleman who is in close
touch with railroad matters, said on
Saturday that he did not think the
company would seriously consider the
matter.

DOUBTLESS nearly every property owner and resident here desires to see his town grow and advance in material prosperity. We would all like to see more factories started, more industrial enterprises estab- lished in the place, in order that there may be larger payroll. The larger the payroll the greater vol ume of business transacted by mer- chants and business men. But in order to get new enterprises-in order to secure more residents it will be necessary for us to rouse ourselves and to 'get move on us" as it were. It is good policy to en- courage every individual who comes here with a possible view of locat- ing. Give him the glad hand take little time from your busi- ness to show him around. Is it not fact that we have in the past been entirely too selfish regarding these really important matters? Is it not true that we have frequently neglected opportunities to make strangers welcome, thereby failing to secure permanent residents? Let us arouse ourselves from this son. nambulistic state. We have been asleep too long. Here's parting iniunction; Don't be so indifferent about furnishing information to your local paper The majority of people here are wofully lacking in this respect. It ought not to be so.

THE CHICAGO local immigration bureau recently disclosed the fact that there are 49 American girls who were sold in slavery to Chi nese harum and are held in close confinement and subject to the whims of the mandarins who were successful in purchasing them thro' the connivance of number of Chi cago women whose identity has be- come we'll known to the government officials. Most of these young wo- men are entirely lost to civilization and cannot hope for release save through suicide. The officials of the immigration bureau say that they must rely upon the police and state departments for aid in cap turing the women who are guilty of the offense, as there is no federal law against exporting women for immoral purposes. The discovery has caused sensation and some startling developments are looked for.

TIE following is clipped from the seattle P.-I., and shows the Seattle spirit up. Failure on the part of Seattle to support the movement for the Alaskan exposition planned to be held in this city in 1907 will greatly affect the business relations now existing with the various towns of the territory, according to the statement made yesterday by God frey Chealander, who is handling the preliminary canvass regarding the matter. Mr. Chealander is act ing in behalf of the Alaska Club, and has just returned from ten- weeks trip through that country. Everywhere l went I found the people of Alaska enthusiastic con- ce1ning the exposition idea,' said Mr. Chealander, 'and while I made no effort to secure subscriptions, l was guaranteed $10,000 in Nome alone and am certain that Alaska, as q whole, will contribute at least $25.000 in cash, to say nothing of the personal labor and expense at tached to the work of assembling the exhibits and other matters of this sort. The people of Alaska feel that Seattle has formerly and is now deriving the greatest benefit accruing from the advancement of the interests of the territory, and will continue to do so. They fur ther feel that this proposed exposi- ton will be of great benefit to their country and hold the belief that Seattle should get behind the affair and make it a reality. Otherwise, l am positive that the present feel ing which exists against this city will develop until it assumes such proportions as to seriously affect the business interests of Seattle.' Mir. Chealander stated that the idea IS planned, was to have Seattle contribute $100,000 to the exposi- ton and secure another $100,000 from the |. s. government. These sums, with what was contributed by Alaska would suffice to place the exposition on sound footing MT. Chealander also advanced the idea that the exposition display be made a permanent affair somewhat after the course adopted by the Northwest territory, which main- tains an exposition or display ex- hibit in Chicago, which has resulted in great benefit to the territory. Mr. Chealander further states that he believes the proposed exposition will meet with such success as to make it possible to repay the cash subscriptions advanced dollar for dollar"
