South Jersey Institute opened on
Wednesday 'lor the thirty seventh
year of school. Forty-four students
were present on the opening day.
Two have arrived since and the pros.
poets are that many more will be here
in few weeks or the number now
enrolled about half are day students,
fourteen Of whom are girls
The school opened at 10 O'Clock
Wednesday morning when chapel exer.
cises were held. After these were
finished the programme of studies was
arranged, and the school dismissed for
the day.
On Thursday the studies were taken
up and real work began. The spirit
of the school seems to be to learn, and
the teachers, of whom most all are
new. are greatly encouraged. OF the
new students nearly all entered upon
one of the three four year courses and
will continue them for the required
length Of time.
The work of improving the building
is not yet completed, but what Is done
shows great improvement, the chapel
especially. A new steel ceiling has
been placed there, and all the furnish
ings have been vanished. The walls
here, and in the class rooms and halls,
together with the blackboards, have
been newly finished. Besides this all
of the other rooms in the building
have been OF are to be greatly inn
proved.
AS to athletics, there Is great inter-
est, candidates for the foot ball team
having been out for practice already,
under the instruction of Professor
Morris N. Porter, and team will be
organized If there is sufficient ma
terial. Military drill has not yet
been taken up, but probably will be
this week. Professor Clinton B. vii.
bur is also commandant and he will
drill the boys.
In all the prospects for the school
are very bright, and under the leader
ship of DR.. Ford it should be pros.

minutes-eight minutes slower than
the scheduled time.
A crowd was at the raiIroe tation
when the train of five cars drew In
for its passengers. At Z O'Clock to
the second the signal was given and
the journey begun. ALI along the
line crowds cheered the train, It's
crew and its passengers. In the yards
OF Camden the train stopped while a
photographer took an official picture,
but no other stop was made.
Trains were operated hourly in each
direction until II O'Clock last night.
No accidents were reported, many ad-
ditional watchmen having been sta
toned along the line to warn the pub
lie of the deadly third rail. Signs Of
warning are placed atsfrequent inter.
walls along the route. For the present.
nonesbu5 express trains between Cam
den and Atlantic City will be oper-
ated. although local service is prom
ised within few weeks.
The designs from which the cars OF

the Pennsylvania Railroad. All are
motor cars operated at either end and
equipped with train control. The seat
ing capacity is fifty. .eight persons.

Rev. Potter to Mays Landing.
The congregational meeting held in
the Fourth Presbyterian church Mon
day was largely attended. Rev.
l.. A. Oates presided, and Mr.. John
Downing the clerk of session acted as
secretary.
The purpose of the meeting was to
hear the request of the pastor, Rev.
Samuel Il. Potter. He said in sub.
stance, ST believe it to be my duty to
resign this pastoral charge that 1 have
held for nearly three years. 1 should
like to have the congregation join me
in requesting Presbytery to dissolve
our relation, the same to take effect
Sept. 28th. I wish also to say, that I
have accepted call to the church at
Mays Landing, subject to the will of
Presbytery, and I intend to begin my
work there early in October.
The request was reluctantly granted
and suitable resolutions were adopted
by the congregation. The work of
Mr.. and Mrs. Potter has been highly
satisfactory to the entire community
as well as to the church.

JUSTICE OF PEACE
IN THE COUNTY.

After almost every election there is
mixup in reference to commissions
for Justices of the Peace elected to
NIL vacancies. This trouble grows
out OF the fact that the person elected
is not named to fill the unexrired term
OF blank, and such certifcation is not
made on the returns made by the eIec-
tion officers. The Secretary of State
not finding any vacancy cannot issue
commission.
In order that the people of the
county should know how many JUS
tices Of the Peace there were to elect
this fall, County CLERK Samuel M.
Sheldon requested the Secretary of
State to give him this information
which he did, and the appended list
shows the number of Justices of the
Peace the various wards and town.

George Reeves moved that the resig.
nation be accepted and fled, and that
the Clerk be authorized to notify the
township committee OF Stow Greek
that the vacancy occurs. This motion
prevailed.
Mr.. Reeves preceded this motion by
remarking that he felt sure the men,
bers of the Board would be sorry to
have Mr.. Garrison leave the Board
after his thirteen years of service, and
said that Mr.. Garrison had been one
of the strongest members of the or
ganization.
In resigning from the Board. Mr..
Garrison necessarily made a vacancy
in the Board of Managers of the
County Hospital for the insane, and
this place was filled by the unanimous
selection of Director Jere. N. Ogden.
To fill Mr.. Garrison's place as a mem
ber of the auditing committee, Frank
K. Muta was chosen.
1t is understood that Mr.. Garrison
may. at the November meeting be a
candidate for. .thelposition of Steward
of the Aims House, as successor to
B. F. Roray, whose term expires.
Still, Mr.. Garrison says he would have
resigned to-day whether he decides to
be candidate for Steward or not.
Ii is quite likely that the Stow
Greek township committee may select
Charles Fogg, the we'll known farmer.
as successor in the Board to MIR.
