Cape May Republicans in Trouble.

Down in Cape May the republican ticket
is in danger. Robert E. Hand, former
sheriff and former State senator, was named
for State senator. Three years ago Lewis
M. Creese defeated Hand for the nomina-
tion, and it was charged that he lent his aid
toward the election Of Cresse's opponent.
However this may be, Cresse won by 486
plurality over Rice, the Democratic nomi-
nee.
In tie convention al Ocean City, satur-
day, Hand won over Cresse by one half vote
the poll resulting in 14a for Hand and 144
for Cresse Thereupon senator Cresse adj
dressed the convention, and told his friends
that he would not adYise them to support
Hand, nor would be pledge his support TO
the ticket. Corsville was named for as
sembly.

An Old Time HuskingTBee. !

A most enjoyable time was spent at the
home Of Albert Orr, on Saturday evening
last, when about 100 Of his friends meet to
join in ''Husking Bee. The ladies
were attired in wrappers and sunbonnets,
and the gentlemen in oyeralls, jumpers and
straw hats; fine Of 10c. was imposed upon
those not In that costume. We noticed
that some Of the boys smoked corn cob
pipes and others carried corn stalks in their
buggies for whips. After the guests had
arrived, each the huskers took his partner
and marched into the orchard, where
large tent awaited them. The tent was
tasteful decorated for the occasion. The
ladies were furnished with sack to pro-
tect the core which her partner husked.
Such husking- about so bushel was husked
in minutes. A Mickleton boy husked
the largest number of ears, but lost large
number by stealings. Charlie" you did
well.'' Granville Coles and Emma Nor
gan received the first prizes, for the largest
number of ears counted, while James Petitt
and Bertha Fogg carried away the "booby
prizes. After the counting was oyer Mr..
John French took pictures Of the tent and

Fatally Burned.

William Hensman resides on the George
G. Green farm opposite the Country Club.
The family consists of his wife, Mary J.
and their daughter Anna and her husband
J. Fennimore Stratton. About noon on
Tuesday last, while the daughter was in
the yard, she was startled by her mothers
screams, and as she looked toward the
house saw her emerge, yeritable pillar Of
fire. The daughter seized a piece Of old
carpet and wrapped it about her mother.
and succeeded in exsinguishing the flames.
But the fire had done its fatal work. Dr.
Clark applied temporary remedies and had
her taken to Cooper Hospital where she
died at 7.S0 the same night. The remains
were brought home on Wednesday, and the
funeral, which will be private, will be held
from her husbands home on Friday at ten
o'clock. Interment at Wenonah.
Deceased was born May Is, 1858.
Mrs. Hinsman said her clothing caught
from the gasoline stove she had lighted TO
prepare dinner.

Another Trick Of The Primary Law.

The Republicans of Paulsboro made the
discovery on the evening of the Primary
election, that the two candidates they had
nominated for Council by regularly pre-
pared petition, and to whose nomination
there was no known opposition, were de-
feated and two men not known to be candi-
dates for that Office, we're nominated, and
the stalwart Republicans Of Paulsboro are
mad clear through at what they consider a
contemplate trick.
The man who worked the scheme is
superintendent Of the phosphate works on
Mantua creek, and he marshalled his en-
ployees, who are colored men, secured, it
is alleged, from the house Of correction,
Philadelphia, with military precision He
secured number Of the Primary ballots
oyer which the Organization workers had
exploded SO many brain cells and expended
so much manual labor, and pasted there,yer
the names of his candidates. just before
the Primary polls closed, the employees Of
the phosphate works marched in and cast a
greater number Of ballots than the Or
ganization had cast, and the two unknowns
are nominees for Council in the new bor-
ough on the Delaware.
We suggest that Senator Avis go down to
Paulsboro and get the opinion Of his
friends on the Primary Election law.

Specifications for the Improvement Of
Delaware street with Warrea's Bitulithic
pavement were then read and adopted, and
bids ordered advertised for.
Mr. Clark reported some sidewalk out OF
repair, and property owners attention was
directed to them.
Mr. Clark reported that the Turnpike Go.
has begun suit against the Railroad Com
|pany to compel it to remove poles and
Fences on turnpike property. e
The attention of the Freeholders was di-
rected to the condition of the bridge on
South Evergreen avenue.
Property owners on Aberdeen Place in a
Communication, asked Council to macada-
Imize that street, they agreeing to pay two
thirds the cost. ~
The Street committee was instructed to
place West Centre street. in condition con-
templated by the ordinance.
Requests for lamps on Holroyd Place and
Hunter street were referred to the Street
committee.
Chairman Pancoast of the Property COM
mittee presented resolution providing for
the sale Of bonds, in the sum Of $4,000 to
build an addition to the fire house. On
account Of the lateness Of the hour Mr.. Cat
tell asked that the matter be laid over un-
til the next meeting when he would go into
the matter and show the error in awarding
contract for such building. The motion
was lost by the following vote: To lay oyer,
Cattell, Pierson, and Williams; no, Clark,
Munyan, Pancoast. Reading and Kugler.
Mr.. Reading moved that the resolution be
adopted. Yes, Clark, Munyan, Pancoast,
Pierson, Reading and Kugler; no, Cattell
and Williams.
Mr. ssClark moved shat the Ordinance
committee be instructed to prepare an or
dinance changing grade of Broad street from
Red Bank avenue to the bridge. Carried.
Mr.. Pierson moyed that the Treasurer be
authorized to purchase Bates five-wheel
numbering machine. Carried.
A resolution favoring the establishment
of Postal Savings Bank was read. Mr.,
Cattell moved the adoption Of the resolu-
tion and the record OF the action Of ths
body be sent to the Congressman and ths
two Senators.
In Communication Mrs. Lupton said
she has sold her sidewalk on North Broad
street to the Public Service, and it is occu
pied by the trolley bed.
This problem was SO big that Council al
/ a. m. adjourned.

without a Thought or a Care

EDITOR OF OEMOCkAI.-
Like the negro's kicking mule the writer
s'done had 'sperience" the other day--a
look at and into the new electric railroad
to the sea, a fulillment Of Edison's proph-
esy, uttered quarter of a century ago, that
electricity was bound to supercede all other
kinds of transportation power.
Taking an old short cut from South
Glassboro Reading Road, to Glassboro West
Jersey Road, down along the latter's tracks
l quickly found that something had hap
pened since was that way before.
Startling signs stared at me "Caution"-
"Dangerr-" Warning''-all shouting at
me in their way look out for the hot stuff
in the third rail l''
Again, across the way | had hurried
along so many times before, a stout steel
network, like giant chioken-wire, cut me
out so had to use public street TO avoid
being trespasser and possible accessory
to suicide by electrocution, so thoroughly
had the cruel corporation guarded their
interests and mine by both warning me and
barring me of their electrified premises.
Yes, I saw my first electric train, as it
went flashing by, shooting streaks Of light
ming from its shoes, but was on the safe
side, "without thought or care, " for its
possible consequence to me, because of the
corporations efforts to educate me to mind
my own business as pedestriaD-to walk
on roads made to walk on and not on eleo-
trifed highways made to run motors on.
For months, every time happened neal
the electric road, those warning signs had
stared at me, the papers, too, both city
dailies and country weeklies, had explained
matters SO if got next to hot rail il
would be clear case of sin against light
and knowledge, as the preachers say.
Getting into an antiquated coach drawn
by doomed locomotive, again the warning
signs spoke their little piece about the ex'
istence of dangers Of the electrified third
rail with the gentle request that passengers
respect the eleventh commandment which
being interpreted signifeth, "Mind your
own business
Returning to Glassboro seeking entrance
into the sub-station, where the raw $4,000
volt juice is diluted to 650-yolt, direct cur
rent, was admitted and treated white by
the brainy young man in charge Of the
electric outfit-but here, again, the same
old signs-"Look out fer electricity" The
operator answered all my questions pat
iently and intelligently, furnishing docu-
ments and diagrams to illustrate, and /
went away grateful.
To cap the days experience opened the
DEMOCRAT to read from Mickleton the
startling news that the electric road was
doing awful murders, soaring folks, tootine
penny whistles. tinkling tea-bells-"and
other articles too numerous to mention''-
without thought or care" and it just
rang in my intellectual ears until decided
to grab my fountain-pen to inquire where
the esteemed correspondent of Mickletor
has been all summer that he has reached
such startling conclusions concerning th'
electric railway to the sea.
