NO CAUSE In
MCPHERSON CASE.

The case against the Berger Drug
Go. by the State Board of Health was
tried. This Was case where it was
claimed a sample of laudanum was
not up to the standard of the U. s.
Pharmacopia.
The State Board was represented by
Assistant States Attorney Josiah
Striker. The Drug Company being
represented by J. Hampton Fithian.
Decision was reserved by the Court
after the case was tried.
The case in Court in the afternoon
was that of Isaac Allen against Harry
Singer which involved the sale of a
COW and an unendorsed check
Wheaton Berault represented the
plaintiff and James J. Reeves the
defendant.
1t appeared that Mr.. Allen sold
Harry Singer COW for $1,000. Singer
gave Allen $40 in cash and check
for $40.
The check was drawn by third
party to Fl. Singer. Singer did not
endorse the check-forgot it, whether
purposely or otherwise, and Allen did
not discover the check was not en-
dorsed by Singer until he reached the
bank few days later. On taking the
check back Singer declined to endorse
it unless paid So. This Allen refused
to pay but offered the check and $40
back and asked the return of the COW
This Singer in his turn refused to do.
The suit is to recover the $40 bal
ance due on the COW.
The defence is that the COW was not
as represented. After this was dis.
covered payment of the $40 balance
was refused but $35 was offered and
refused. The contention was for a
reduction in price.
After the case was elaborately tried
and Mr.. Reeves had made a closing
address, Mr.. Berault was about to pro-
ceed with his address when the Court
said to him cit is not necessary for
you to address the Court at this time !;
the defend ant has failed to establish
that a guarantee was made bys Mr..
Allen at the time Of the sale"
The Court then proceeded to state
the legal reasons for his views and he
finished by saying "ihe plaintiff will
be entitled to recover ia this case the
principal sum of $40 aud the further
sum Of $7.63 cost in the court below
and the costs in this court"
The next case taken up was that of
Clayton Mcpherson against Geo. A.
Nitche, for value of rent due.
Mr.. MCPHERSON was represented by
Albert McAllister, and Mr.. Nitche was
represented by Jas. S. Ware.
Mr.. MCPHERSON. on taking the wit
ness stand. said that Mr.. Nitche paid
the rent up to May 18th last, when he
moved out without notice. Did not
know Mr.. Nitche was going to move
out until he saw the wagons backed
up to the door. yhe claim was for one
months rent, because months no.
tice had not been given.

ceased under the direction OF W. FL.
Stake, Philadelphia lawyer, her
counsel The sale was made by HI. L.

That there is much interest in oyster

DAILY BOATS
NEXT SUMNER.

H. +. Stetser, Manager of the PhiIa-
delphia and Bridgeton Transportation
Co., was in Bridgeton Friday looking
after business for the coming season.
In conversation with our representa-
tive, he informed us that an addition
has been made to the feet of steam
boats for the coming season. He has
secured the steam packer Florence, :"
with capacity of 300 tens, which will
be placed en- the Bridgeton line in
connection with the Sylvan Dell, I"
which will make daily freight boat
from both Bridgeton and Philadelphia,
the "Sylvan Dell'' making trips every
other day the same as last year.
Mr. Stetser is in town attempting
to secure enough business to place the
Florence" on the line right away
and says that if he can get enough
freight to come for he will start the
boat in running on three trips a
week schedule right away.
This line deserves patronage from
our commercial interest and should
be encouraged, also all assistance
should be given our Mayor in attempt
ing to have the water way deepened,
as without water communication with
Philadelphia manufacturers are made
to pay large rates on all freight going
and coming from this city.
The addition of the steam barge
Florence" will mean much to the
interest of the farmers this season, as
it will allow them to have daily COM
munication with Philadelphia mar
kets. where their farm products will
be taken in fresh and not upset and
practically will enable the farmers to
save much time in hauling as the
steamboat landings are right in their
vicinity, and there is no doubt there
will be buyers ready with the cash to
pay them on the delivery of the pro.
duce.
The last tomato season proved the
benefit of the steamboat when the
farmers instead of having to wait two
or three months for their money were
handed the cash upon the recent OF
their produce. Just such business
transactions as these are what the
farmers need to encourage them to
work their farms to an advantage and
In return receive the same as any
other business man cash in hand for
goods delivered, and by patronizing
the steamboat business they will up-
hold business that will increase their
bank accounts.
The Philadelphia and Bridgeton
transportation Company are now
looking forward to the farmers inter.
est and by placing two boats on the
line will give them daily communica.
tion with Philadelphia.

Will Work Soon Start Here ?


Bridgeton may be sooner on the list
for Government building than has
been expected.
In his correspondence to the Camden
Telegram the Washington correspon.
dent says:
1t is expected there will be pub.
lie building bill reported to the House
about March Is. AS yet it is not def
nitely known nor will it be given out
just how New Jersey will fare, but
the fact that Representative of the
sub. committee having charge of New
Jersey items. is sufficient to expect
that the interests of New Jersey will
not suffer. 1t is believed, therefore,
that the New Jersey items will be
something like this: Jersey Oity,
1895. 900; Elizabeth. $50, 900 additional
Bridgeton. $65, 600, and Perth Amboy.
$1,000. There is possibility that
Trenton may have $50, 600 or $50. 600,
but this is not known. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that there will be
any appropriation for East Orange
this year. I"
