Constables could not separate MS from

After about one half hours contro.

to act wisely and not enter into legal

victory, giving Mr.. Ward the glad
hand. Justice Mulford made three
propositions to the defendants:
First, to discharge them if they
would pay all costs. Declined.
Second, if the defendants pay for the
hiring of constables' wagon. De-
clined.
Third. to discharge them entirely
free. Accepted.

Car Struck Aged Man.

John Peterson, of Newport, was
struck by the Port Norris car and
slightly injured Monday morning.
The mans deafness is wholly respon-
sible for the accident.
The motorman noticed Mr.. Peterson
on the track some distance ahead of
the car. He applied brakes and slowed
1t, but as he did it the man stepped
from harms way. More power was
thrown on, and when only few feet
back of the pedestrian, he again
stepped on the track and the car
struck him.
The force knocked the gentleman
over and he was hastily picked up and
taken to DR.. Glendon's office in Cedar
vile. An examination showed that
no bones were broken and the only
injuries were bruises.
Fortunately the accident was no
worse, but blame cannot be given the
trolley crew.

Opposition to Local Option Bill

Opposition to Local Option Bill.
Trenton, Feb. 5 The other side of
the local option question was heard
this evening by the Assembly Com.
nlittee on Municipal Corporations and
the Prohibitionists, who last week
showed what good thing such law
would be, were given several things
to think about. But two speakers
were heard in the hour and a quarter
allotted to the hearing, and as both
strongly opposed the Miller bill, the
hearing was continued till tomorrow.
The first speaker was former Judge
Alfred Skinner, who represented the
State Brewers Association. He said
that one preacher who spoke last week
represented 10000 Presbyterians, an
other 100000 Methodists and another
SO many Baptists.
"But. " said Mr. Skinner, II venture
to say that these people did not know
how their views were being expressed.
| am sure THAI the views of the Com.
mittee will be shaped by reason and
not by applause. There is no great
popular uprising on this question, no
loud-voiced demand. There are men
here who were intimately connected
with the last campaign and who know
what a popular uprising means. The
question of limited franchises and
equal taxation were demanded by a
large popular vote, but who heard
anything Of this question in thatc
paign9 There was no expressed senti-
ment for it. .

HEARING ON
LOCAL OPTION.

Trenton, Feb. 6.-The committee
on Municipal Corporations of the
Legislature gave the final hearing on
the Local Option bill this afternoon.
John .. Pitney, of Newark, was the
first speaker. He declared that if the
bill should become law it would
place the saloon back in politics. 1t
would force the manufactures, seller
and consumer to become politicians.
Such law would take away the poor
mans privileges and legally permit
the rlcn man to enjoy his luxuries.
The Rev. DR.. E. @. Nash, of Newark,
was chairman for the friends of the
bill. He made short speech in
which he said that the demand for
local option came from the united
Christian element and was opposed
only by the liquor people.
DIR. Nash introduced the Rev. J.
Ward Gamble, Of Trenton, who
charged the downfall of the Demo-
cratic party of the State OF New Jersey
70 the defeat OF the local option meas
ure which was before the State Legis-
lature about twelve years ago when
the tide of politics changed in this
State.
Philip M. Jackson. of Newark, was
the next speaker. Mr.. Jackson said he
appeared both as a citizen of New
Jersey and representative of a
| church in Newark, both of which he
knew wanted local option law. He
said he is Republican and that he
knows that the interest of his party is
at stake if this measure is allowed to
die in the committees hands or be
killed on the floor of the House or
Senate. He said that in view of the
fact that the people of this State set.
tied which party they wanted to
handle the reins of government, they
should be given the right to settle the
liquor question

quate. There must be some more ad.
vanced procedure, some authority,
some responsible head to bring about
a proper placing of valuation.
Senator Avis has introduced a bill
which has considerable merit and may
work out the whole question of taxa.
tion most satisfactorily.
His bill provides for County Board
Tor the equalization, revision, review
and enforcement of taxation to be
known as the County Board of Taxa.
tion. 1t shall be comprised Of three
persons, no more than two of whom
shall be Of the same political party.
The appointments are to be made by
the Governor, confirmed by the Sen.
ate, the appointment to be for three
years. In Cumberland, county OF
the second class, the salary is fixed at
$1,000 each.
Under the Avis bill this Board has
all powers to enforce the proper taxa
tion of all property real and personal.
The Board has full jurisdiction over
the Assessors in every taxing district
in the county and can remove any
assessor for failing to conform with
the law and comply with such rules as
the Board may make.
All returns of assessments must be
made to the Board by the various AS.
| SCISSORS, and the County Board can re.
view the work of the Assessor and can
increase or lower any valuation made
by the Assessor.
The Board is also to act as the Com
missioners of Appeal for all taxing
districts. According to the law the
Board must meet in every municipal
ity, giving ample notice of the time
and place OF such meeting. and shall
hear all complaints of property own.
ers, concerning assessment.
To the County Board the various
municipalities and the county officials
must certify the amount of money
necessary for the years expenses, and
it is the duty of the County Board to
| fix the tax rate for the municipality
SO that sufficient amount of money
may be raised.
The bill gives the Board just such
powers as will MAKE it possible to
bring about a far better system of
taxation. Under the law the Board
may sit as court of inquiry and can
demand the presence as a witness of
any person desired, and can enforce
the production of necessary books and
papers.
The salaries of the County Board
are to be paid by the State Controller
from the State treasury, SO that there
is no added expense to the county.
The whole scheme has great deal
of merit and would be calculated to
bring out great reform in the pres
ent lax methods of assessing and COL
lection of tax values.

Brown sues for Ten Thousand.
George M. Brown, the hackman,
through his attorney, has brought suit
in the Supreme Court of this state
against the Central Railroad of N. J.,
for $1,000 damages, through his
Counsel Rex A. Donnelly and service
has been made by the Sheriff of Hud-
son county.
On October I'd last, Brown, who had
given up hack driving, purchased a
ticket at the Central r r. Station
here for Weston, W. Va. where he in
tended to go to work. He paid $40. 90
for his ticket and, checking his trunk
through to Weston, he boarded the
train, and went on his way. When he
reached Wilmington, Del, he was
told his ticket was worthless. and he
must leave the train or pay fare. This
he refused TO do, having already paid
his fare at the start, and so, after
much resistance, he was elected from
the train, and had to return to Bridge.
ton. His trunk, however, was passed
on, strange as it appears to be, it is
alleged. to its destination. and Brown
afterward sent for it's return.
Brown lost his chance for employ
ment at Weston, lost his job here. and
also paid $40 for his ticket, and came
home with the expectation of proving
a strong case against the railroad
company.
This is his story, but the railroad
company has different one no doubt.
