THE NJ MEETING
OF FREEHOLDERS.

The annual meeting of the Board of
freeholders Wednesday continued until
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. The
business before the Board was import
ant and required considerable time.
One matter that required consider.
able attention to be settled, was the
paying of bill for burial and head
stones of INDECENT soldiers. This
matter was opened at thesIast meeting
OF the Board by Mr.. W. b. Trenchard,
of the Fourth ward, calling attention
to the law providing for the payment
OF such bills. The law provides for
the county to pay $35 to bury an indi.
gent soldier and $15 for headstone of
or such soldier. Mr.. Trenchard held
that the Board had no right to pay
bills OF this character for any person
who left sufficient estate for the
burial. There we're number of bills
for these services Wednesday. Some of
them it was alleged were for persons
who were amply able to pay their own
expenses. and the payment of the bills
were opposed There was good deal
OF argument resulting. Heretofore
the Board has not inquired closely
into the INDECENT circumstances of the
deceased, and there was disposition
to pay the bills before the Board yes.
terday and start off a new basis.
This motion prevailed with the excep.
tion OF one bill, all of the other bills
being paid. 1t was generally agreed
that hereafter all bills of this char.
aoter would be for only INDECENT sol.
diers.
MIR. Reeves offered a resolution
which prevailed providing that all
temporary loans incurred by the
county should De upon a basis of five
per cent. interest.
A number of bridges were reported
as demanding attention, and repairs
were ordered. Then a troublesome
question arose. One member asked
permission to draw upon the collector
for money to pay for labor upon work.
The question on the legality of such
advance was then raised, and the
County Solicitor decided that taking
the money from the treasury in this
manner was not sustained by law.
The Solicitor claimed that ailsservices
rendered for the county had to be set
forth in properly itemized bill and
an affidavit attached. Members of
the board did not think they could
find labor that would thus work and
wait for a subsequent meeting of the
Board to get the money. There was
nothing done regarding the matter.
The Board adjourned just at five
O'Clock.

Trenton, May 15.-The Republican
party leaders are planning to make
the State Committee more effective
and Chairman Frank o. Briggs has
called a meeting for tomorrow at the
Trenton House.
Heretofore the committee has con-
fined its work to presidential and
gubernatorial candidates, but the
leaders believe the committee shonld
take part in all campaigns.
Chairman Briggs has collected data
with reference to the working of State
Committees in other states and has
learned that as rule they play very
important part in every canvass; they
have permanent headquarters and is
sue reports Of value and interest to
the members of the party.
The calling of the meeting at this
time has created considerable talk at
the State House, but Chairman Briggs
said the meeting was called only to
make the committee more active.

This Sounds Rather Funny

tHis SOUNDS Rather Funny
The New York Tribune in it's cor.
respondence from Trenton TO-DAY nre.
sents this paragraph:
"Assemblyman Louis Fl. Miller
who was here to-day, caused a mild
earthquake among the machinists bv
Stating emphatically that the Colby
movement had already swept Cumber-
land County, and that it could be
counted on for reform. Mr.. Miller
announced that he was for Colby.
Governor Stokes is the member of the
State committee from Cumberland"
Great 1t is scarce likely how.
ever that the mild earthquake rocked
the State House perceptibly. When
Mr. Miller starts out in Cumberland
county to lead a reform campaign
against Governor Stokes he may learn
something that may change his mind
about Cumberland County being
swept" by Mr.. Colby or anybody
else. Mr.. Miller has been lucky in
politics, his entire success having
peen due to circumstances in which he
did not personally figure. 1t will be
interesting to follow Mr.. Miller as he
does the sweeping for Mr.. Colby.

meAt.
The number of inmates is constantly
increasing, and the Board finds it
necessary to open another ward, bids

port shows that the institution actually

WANT A STATE
AND COUNTY ROAD.

Before the Board of Freehholders
Wednesday, there appeared delegation
making an appeal for u State and
oorntv road. 1t was the most exten
oive project proposed yet for the
county.
The Lands Township Committee
with several other citizens appeared
IN urge the enterprise and Hon. Louis
n Miller was the spokesman.
Mr.. Miller prefaced his remarks by
saving that all over the State import
ant road Improvements were being
made. and the State had expended mil
lions of dollars in aiding counties. and
be felt that it was time for Oumber.
land county TO take advantage of Its
opportunity.
The proposition presented to the
Board of Freeholders Wednesday pro.
yides for gravel road to begin at the
intersection of the Gloucester county
inc with the Malaga road, and to con-
tipue on the latter road through Lam
dis township to Millville. Taking up
the road again on the southern side of
MilIyille, to continue down the Port
Elizabeth road to the present State
road leading to thel Mauricetown
bridge, and on from the latter point
to Port Norris.
II is understood that delegation
from Millville will appear before the
Board and ask for the road to be COM
pleted through the city of Millville,
making some twenty six miles in all.
Mr.. Miller said the outside estimate
for the road would be $50. 900. Per.
sonally he thought it could be built
/ for $40, 600.
The municipalities that would be
directly benefited Mr.. Miller scon
tended paid 391s per cent. saof the taxes
Of the county and he felt that this was
feature that demanded.the attention
Of the Board OF Freeholders.
He contended that the county was
amply able to issue bonds for the i'm
provements, it being shown that the
present bonded indebtedness of the
county is but $106. 600.
Later the matter was referred to the
Public Road Committee to investigate
and report at the next meeting.
Mr.. Miller in private conversation
said that the people behind this pro.
ject were thoroughly enthused, and
he was sanguine that the Board would
pass favorably upon the matter. He
thought that at present there were
votes favorable and the others would
be forthcoming.

Strange Case

For several days past man has
been observed aimlessly wandering
about the streets. He was arrested
and taken to the City Hall Sunday
and is evidently demented. Mayor
Fithian committed him to Jail this
morning pending investigation.
He could give no account OF himself
other than that he was painter, his
name is John MCGUIRE, and he has a
sister residing at 800 Ellsworth street,
Philadelphia, with whom he lived.
He did not know where he is nor how
he got here; didn't know the day OF
the week nor the season of the year
it is, but he seems to be harmless and
docile. The Mayor will try to ascer.
tain about his relatives as he gave it..

Beet coal oil 13c, Baldwin's.

Business in police court was q
little brisk Monday morning. Mar.
shall Kimball made little hay Sat
urday night, and as a result bust.
ness was good. First on the docket
was Geo. Miller of Miami. George
very rarely comes TO town without
inspecting the inside of the Jail,
aud the inspection always costs
him something. He usually gets
drunk before he starts out on HE
tour of inspection. His last visit
to Baxter was no exception to the
rule, and the marshal gave him a
good view of the interior of the
bastile. For his view he was fined
s. aud costs. Next on the docket
came George Childers of Mission
City. II seems that George tarried
over the wine cup, or looked on the
wine when IL was of a crimson COL
or, or something of the sort. AT
any rate he said he was guilty, and
the police judge said ''$3 and costs;
call the next case" The next vic
tim was rather lucky. He was
Frank Collins of Oklahoma City.
He was charged with disturbing
the peace, but al there was nobody
on hand TO prove that the peace
had been disturbed, the fellow was
turned loose. Joe Riddle Of Galena
tried TO show how things were run
in his town, and the police judge
charged him s. and costs for rum
ming q school of that kind without
a license. The fact Of the matter is
that Riddle was just drunk.
