Notice to Justices Of the Peace

Justices of the Peace whose terms Of
office expire next May will find themselves
Iegislated out OF Office after that date The
Merger election bill extends the terms Of
all officials except justices Of the peace,
until January /, 1896, but the Office Of
justice of the peace being constitutional
rather than a statutory one, the legislature
has no power to extend the tern. For this
reason all justices whose terms expire in
May will have to retire. Their successors
will be elected in November, but they cam
not assume Office until May, 1906.

BASE BALL.

The Grenloch Field Club is rapidly max
ting preparations for the coming base ball
season. They have recently built new
icluh house where the members get together
almost every evening, while not as yet COM
pletely furnished. the club has installed
various games, put up punching bag, etc
and in a short time expect to have the in
terror completely finished, with lockers and
closets and other appurtances, and visiting
teams will find the new club house furnish
ed with all conveniences for their comfort.
and the members now ready to extend the
courtesies of the Club.
The base ball team have all signed con
tracts for the season and is composed of the
following well known players: Watson, S.

c. I.oring, C. f ; Hollingsworth, ID b. !;
Felix, lst b. Welch, r. +. Brannan, 3rd
b who will p ay the game regularly, as
this cub does not believe in loading up''
or paying big prices for professional play
ers who are hired for one game only
simply for the purpose Of defeating, if pos
sible, some rival team, and then claiming
the credit as belonging TO the club, when
in fact il was lot the regular team that
played the game. The practice of substitut-
ing 3, 4, or professionals for such purpose
only is evidence that the club doing it is
afraid to meet its opponents upon equal
grounds BY playing the regularly signed
members of the team.
The schedule for the coming season is
now being filled by the manager A. H.
Beschor who will book dates with none but
strictly first7class teams.
The games put up by the Grenloch Field
Club during the season of 1904 with 20
games won and games lost, percentage
of 741, against some Of the strongest and
fastest teams to be found in amateur ranks.

claims TO have the fastest and best team in

and stronger team than ever, they are
ready 70 meet anv and all claiming or pre-
tending to be champions Of South Jer-
sey. Last season some Of the self-styled
champions could not be coaxed into game
with the GrenIoeh team, thus showing that
they were afraid to meet this fast aggrega-
tion Of ball players. The manager has a
few open dates away from home, and in
vites games with few strictly first-class
teams offering suitable guarantee such as
Clayton, Woodbury. c. c., Gloucester and
Medford who are especially requested
to arrange for games.

AN OPEN LETTER.

Editor of Gloucester County Democrat
Inasmuch as much has been said and
written about the failure of the late Grand
Jury to return a true bill of Indictment
against Joseph Turner, alleged to be guilty
of keeping a disorderly house in our viii
lage and inasmuch as one member of that
Grand Jury, DIR. J Gaunt Edwards, has
seen lit to go into print and in violation OF
his obligation attack his fellow Grand
Jurors, am impelled to ask space in
your columns to make a true statement of
the facts and leave to the good Judgment Of
the people whether the Grand Jury would
have been justified in finding bill on the
evidence before it.
One Sunday evening in March, 1904, my
sister walked into MIR. Turner house and
discovered several men playing cards, and
at once served notice on him to vacate the
premises, as nothing of the kind would be
permitted in property owned by her mothtr
Next morning Mr.. Turner called on my
mother and expressed contrition for having
allowed his friends 10 play cards in the
house, and promised if she would recon
slider the order of my sister of the night
before. he would not allow card playing
again. Mr.. Turner had been a tenant for
many years, is a man Of large family, is a
first-class glass blower, has steady employ
ment, and does not depend on card playing
for living, and has never allowed drinks
in the house, This promise he made, and
to the best of our knowledge. has religious
ly kept
On Saturday, November Is, DR.. Ed
wards came to my mother and demanded
that she eviet Mr.. Turner from the house,
as his presence there prevented his leasing
his house next door, or he would hold her
responsible for the loss of rental of his
house. This she declined TO do Mr. Ed
wards then caused the arrest of two of Mr..
Turner's boys-12 and IA years Of age
who in playing with burnfre in their
yard accidently flung some embers into
the yard of his house doing no especial
damage.
Now, fellow citizens, the above is true
statement of the evidence before the Grand
Jury on which an indictment was asked
Would Grand Jury be justified in finding
a true bill on such evidence Would a
petit jury convict man of keeping dis
orderly house on evidence of one offense,
and that an accidental occurrence and three
terms of court permitted TO pass between
the fact and an attempt to find bill !?
And, fellow citizens, is it not plain, that
the true animous Of the affair is found in
the fact that Mr.. Edwards has a personal
spite against Mr. Turner, and is willing to
visit it even on little children.
Fellow citizens, have received many
honors at your hands in the past, and !
deem it my duty to the Grand Jury and to
you to tell all the facts in the case and the
evidence which was produced before the
Grand Jury. Yours,
WAITER B. RAaIMEL,
Williamstown, N. J., Feb Is, 1905.

down the eastern slope Of the cascades,
through beautiful, picturesque, Anna creek

is situated over 1000 feet above sea level

klamath basin. It is crossed by several
streams of clear cold water filled with
