ENDICOTT TO
HEAR ALL CASES.

Supreme Court Justice Thomas W.
Irenchard. who presides in the Gum
berland county judicial district, an.
nounces that he will be unable to hear
any civil suits in this Court at the
december term. This term opens on
the S6th day of December. The en-
forced absence at the sittinggis due to
the enormous volume of work that is
awaiting his action, with the balance
of the Court in the Errors and Apneals
branch.
All civil cases that are on the De-
cember term list will be referred to
Circuit Court Judge Endicott Jus
tice Trenchard will preside at the
opening of the Court and will prob
ably charge the grand jury. All civil
matters will then be referred to Cir.
cult COURT Judge Endicott and Justice
Irenchard will Immediately repair to
Trenton to take up the work of the
court of last resort.
Ii is quite likely that the Supreme
court Justices of the State will sit as
trial courts but very little in the fu-
ture. The Circuit Court bench has
been increased, and the powers en-
larged SO that the Circuit Judges can
hear all cases.
Supreme Court Justice Trenchard
notified County Clerk Sheldon of his
decision in this matter, with instruc-
tions for the clerk to notify the mem
bers of the bar. This the Clerk has
done in the following notice:
Bridgeton, N. j., Dec. 1, 1906
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of a let
ter from Hon. Thomas W. Trenchard,
Justice of the Supreme Court, to the
following effect:
AT conference of the Justices of
the Supreme Court it has been decided
that the Justices will hear no civil
cases at the Circuit at the next fol
lowing term. Therefore / shall hear
no civil cases in your county at the
December term. I shall be present at
the opening day and refer the list to
Circuit Court Judge Endicott, who
will hear the cases at such time as he
may fix
Judge Endioott will sit at Bridgeton
January 80 to February Sd, and Feb
ruary 26 to March Q, 1907.
Very truly yours,
SAMUEL SHELDON. Clerk.

MACHINERY FOR
MARTIN PLANT.

Two more cars have arrived for the
M artin Dyeing ana Finishing plant
out On East Commerce street and ill
at once put in position. This ma
chinery has long been On the way, and
the fact that it has not earlier arrived
retards the starting of the plant.
1t is fully expected that the big con-
Germ will be in operation next month.
1t will start off with at least seventy
tlve employees, and better still with
sufficient orders on hand to operate
the plant for year. Only week or
two since an order was received which
would have taken the capacity of the
new works for at least six months.
The prospects for the plants sue
cessful operation are very bright and
it really looks as if the present oapao-
ity of the plant will not be nearly
sufficient for the demands made upon
it.
Very much depends upon the success
of the plant for the future of Bridge.
ton 1t is not generally known, but
there is every likelihood of big man
ufacturing plant growing out of this
dyeipg and finishing plant. 1t is a
fact. however. that plans are already
drawn for large mill for the manu-
faoture of the mercerized goods, that
will now be received already made.
and colored and finished here. This
concern would be big thing for
Bridgeton, and would mean a much
greater number of employees than the
dyeing and finishing plant could posi-.
blv accommodate.
Everyone will watch the new plant
ith additional interest owing to this
probability of further increase.
Mr. Martin, the managing head of
the concern, is very much impressed
with Bridgeton He likes it, and will
make it his permanent residence. He
has already taken the Charles Fl. Shoe
maker house, and had it been possible
he would have purchased residence
property here

THE ARMY OF
WORKING WOMEN,

The total number of women engaged
in gainful occupations in 1900 was
5.319, 397, says The Technical World.
At the rate of increase between 1890
and 1900 there cannot be short of
5000, 900 at work at present in various
trades and occupations in the United
States of America.
About 1,000, 600 of Americas five
milIion-odd gainful women in 1900
were engaged in what the census calls
agricultural pursuits. There were
also 100 women lumbermen and RATS
men and 113 women wood choppers.
There are more than 1926, 900 teachers
and 6418 actresses. There were 3405
women clergymen actively engaged in
the religious life Of many denomlna-
tions.
Forty women were classed as civil
engineers, 30 as mechanical and elec.
trical engineers and three are mining
engineers. Incidentally there were IA
women veterinary surgeons There
were also 1926 woman Librarians, 2086
woman saloonkeepers and 440 woman
bartenders.
In the building trndes there we're
1877 masons. 545 carpenters, 45 plas-
terers, 1859 painters, glsS S.ers and
varnishers, 1876 plumbers, 24l paper
hangers and 2 skaters AM roofers.
Plans were prepared bv 100 architects,
and l5O women entered into compe-
tition for the erection of buildings.
% "The only occupation in which
women are going backward compared
with men," says The Technical
World, ''are those in which they
might be expected to 60 forward,
namely. sewing, tailoring and dress
making. There were fewer seam
stresses, tailoresses and dressmakers
in proportion to the number of men in
these occupations in 1900 than there
were in 1890.
''The number of women at work in
creased 33 per cent. during the decade.
In that period the total number of
women in the United States increased
only % per cent. In other words. the
number of women at work increased
half as fast again as the total numb T
of all the women in the country.
Roughly speaking, it may be said that
while in 1890 one woman in every six
went to work, in 1900 the proportion
had increased to one in every five."

10000 FOR
POST OFFICE SITE.

The estimates submitted to Congress
by Secretary of the Treasury Shaw of
the appropriations required for the
service of the government for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1908, which ap.
preparations Congress is asked to make
at the present session, contains sew.
eral important items for New Jersey.
The item in which Bridgeton is par
ticularly interested, is stated by the
Secretary as follows:
"For site and continuation of the
erection OF the public building at
Bridgeton, under the present limit,
$40, 0OO."
Bids from Bridgeton property own
ers for proposals to furnish site for
the public buildings. was submitted
months ago by various persons. They
have been in the custody of the Trea.
sury department. and no doubt care

proper site. Evidently progress is
being made upon the matter. and some
definite action may be looked for at
an early date.
The appropriation for site and build
ing for the Bridgeton public building
was $4,000. An appropriation of
$50, 900 for site would leave $45. 600
for the structure. 1t is the opinion Of
those who follow these government
building enterprises to conclusion,
that they are seldom completed within
the original appropriation. and il may
be that bridgetons appropriation Win
be advanced 1t is not unlikely that
the government will spend 500. coo
here to properly house the Post Office
and the Custom House.

CONFIDENCE IN
DRYDEN'S FRIENDS.

CTrenton Correspondence to Philadelphia Ledger,)
Trenton, Dec. 11.,-It was stated on
authority to-day that Senator Dry
den expects to have foIty-two votes
when the two houses vote in Joint
session for United States Senator on
January 23. The two men who will
oppose him to the end are Senator
Colby and Assemblyman Fake 1t was
asserted by the friends Of Dryden to-
day that the others would not vote
against Republican.
One of the Democratic leaders was
asked to-day about the rumor that in
case Dryden should find it necessary
to be elected that some Democrats
would vote for him. ST hope not" was
the answer. "Then we would be beaten
next fall on the governorship sure"
Both the Republicans and Democrats
are shy about discussing the Cover
ship, desiring first to get the senator
ship, and then the Legislature off
their hands. The Democrats talk of
Judge Vroom as strong man. Some
favor the denomination of Charles O.
Black or the selection of Senator Min
turn.
The Republicans are for State Treas
urer Briggs or Senator Bradley, of
Camden. The Governor will prob
ably come from South Jersey. It was
given out to-day that Senator Minch,
of Cumberland, will be elected presi-
dent Of the Senate. He has enough
votes pledged to him to defeat Sem
ator Hillery, who has been in the fight
for some time.

A Busy Firm Has Dissolved.

The busy firm of Hahn & Ham has
dissolved and the business will be
continued by Albert Hahn, the cleo
triciap. The concern has been a
growing one. 1t started as an electri-
cal supply house and much of the
electric wire and installation was plac-
ed by this firm. 1t has grown rapidly
and later took In the automobile bust
ness, establishing a garage on Wash

Mr.. Charles Ham, the junior mem.
ber of the firm has accepted a flatter-
ing offer made by the Bridgeton Con.
denced Milk Company to manage it's
new branch house in Salem and has
already catered upon his duties. He
is now overlooking the building oper-
ations there. Mr.. Ham will be mar
ried to-day to Miss Ef1ie Fogg of Giles

manent residence.

SHERIFF TO GET
SALARY ONLY.

The successor to Sheriff Daniel
Souder. under the law of the last Leg
islature, will gat salary of So, 500 a
year. He will draw this salary by the
month, it being paid by the County
Collector out Of the county funds.
The same salary will be paid the sue.
cessors of Surrogate John R q.
Thompson and County Clerk Samuel
M Sheldon
But the Sheriff proposition will be
the most interesting from the fact
that it is likely to make considerable
changes in some of, the duties that
have been performed by him.
Ever since Cumberland county has
existed, the Sheriff has been the sole
custodian Of the prisoners in the coun.
ty Jail. Will the next Sheriff have
that duty to perform?
Under an opinion just made by the
County Counsel of Passaic, where a
Sheriff has been elected, the Sheriff
must give up feeding and clothing
county prisoners under the salary law.
The county counsel holds that under
the law putting the Sheriff on salary
basis, he can no longer receive fees or
any other emoIument from the county,
and he thus regards feeding the pris-
oners The counsel cites many opin
inns which seem tn sunnort his find
ing
Should chat opinion hold, the next
Sheriff of Cumberland county cannot
make contract with the Freeholders
to care for the prisoners at SO much a
day. The Frseholders will have to
provide jail warden other than the
Sheriff and pay the warden the per
diem. This would also take from the
Sheriff the residence that has been
provided by the county, the Jail war
den would require that, it is probable
the county would have to provide an
office for the Sheriff elsewhere.
Under the opinion referred to the
Sheriff could not make contract with
the Freeholders to act as janitor of
the Court House, as that service is an
emolument other than provided for
under the law.
The next Sheriff will be just Sher-
iff, and he will get just So. 500 each
year for beirg on the job.

According to the views of number
of dealers in this city. the price of
eggs in the immediate future will de-
pend entirely upon the weather; for
some weeks past this article of food
has been scarce and costly.
1t is said that cause of the limited
supply of fresh eggs is due to the fact
that the hens have been moultirg and
are not disposed to lay Some OF the
formers say that hens are dying rap
lilly for no apparent reason They
w | be we'll one day and stricken the
nf xt.
The young pulless which were
his ched last spring are beginning to
lay and it the weather continues
warm, will alleviate the condition
considerably, because with larger
supply of fresh eggs prices will
tumble in the cold storage article.
Snould the weather become colder or
any bad storms appear, this will
check the hens laying and the price
will remain the same or even go
higher.
1t is the general opinion that the
price is not higher than it has been
during the past three or four years at
this season. One dealer said that the
price has been high ever since the
beef houses began to deal in eggs
about ten years ago. He pointed out
that eggs used to be sold for cent a
piece at Easter, but this price has not
prevailed for years.

A deal was closed Thursday by
David Garfield. when he became the

Commerce street, the estate of the
late Caroline Dare. The purchase

tor of the estate. 1t is said the pur-
chase price Fwas in the neighborho0d

q The property is the three-story brick

long made her home. On the ground

feet, and will occupy the second and
third floors as residence.
Mr.. Garfield is at present engaged

astore in the Mulford building, on East
Commerce street. Whenhe takes his
new place he will branch out very
considerably.
