BUCK AND POTTER
ARE NOMINA TED

Millville was the scene of the Assem-
bly, Republican Convention Thursday
and there was much OF interest.
When the delegates from the various
parts of the county arrived, there
was little that seemed to be certain az
to the outcome. VineIand was strong
for Frank S. Potter, while Albert
McAllister, of this city, developed
considerable strength.
When the Convention was called to
order the delegates were by no means
certain as to the course they would
take.
Chales r. Tomin, Chairman of the
last Convention called the delegates
90 order, and James Boyd Potter. of
this city, was selected as Chairman
for this Convention He accepted the
distinction with stirring address.E
Howard Dolby, of Vineland, was
made Secretary, and Paul Ludlam. of
Millville, Assistant Secretary,
The various committees we're ap.
pointed and the Convention took a re-.
cess of five minutes.
When the Convention reconyened
the committees reported, and nomina-
ions were made.
Jere Corson placed B. Frank Bucks
name before the Convention and he
was nominated by acclamation,
Frank S. Potter, Vineland was
named for the second nomination.
Ellsworth Long nominated Albert
MoAllister. The name of Isaac T.
Nichols was placed before the Con.
vention by Dr. Morgan.
The ballot was taken by wards and
townships resulted as follows:

McAllister, 10
Nichols, ia
AS 81 votes was just the number re-.
quired for nomination, Potter was
named. but before the vote was an
nounoed, there were changes from
McAllister to Potter and his nomina
tion was made unanimous.
Mr.. Nichols asked the privilege OF
addressing the Convention, and he
made a splendid address, and.heart.
lily endorsed the nominees.

Slick Fellow Forged Check,

Harry Brown, young man of 20
years, laborer at the gIassworks of
the Richard M. More Company, at
Fairton, pulled off a pretty slick trick
Tuesday as charged by several par.
ties.
1t is said that Brown slipped in the
glass company's Office Tuesday at
noon, while the office force was out,
and took from book some twenty or
more blank checks. He also slipped
out blank So order book.
The book he made out in his own
name and presented it to E. o. Davis
and tried to get the money on it. Mr..
Davis noticed at glance that the book
was 1rregularly made out and refused
to honor the book. Brown left the
store and going back to the office of
the glassworks, called up Mr.. Davis
and impersonated Mr.. Vecum, the
bookkepeer. and told Mr.. Davis that
the book had been made out hurried.
~ and was all right. Mr.. Davis was
still suspicious and refused to do anv
business with Brown upon his second
visit.
Brown then filled out check for
500 which he presented to Mrs. Al.
corn and she cashed it. She soon
learned that the check was forgery.
1t bore the name "Foster Moore"
Mr.. Moore always signs his name
"Foster o. Moore.'' - All checks from
the company are countersigned by
the bookkeeper. This was not. A
warrant has been issued for Browns
arrest.
Constable Aaron Smith at night
arrested Brown, and he was COM
mitted to Jail for hearing by Justice
of the Peace Byron Lore.

Board May be Abolished.

Trenton, Oct. 9.-There is likely to
be radical changes in the methods of
caring for the riparian lands as re-
suit of the investigation now being
made by the Joint Legislative Com
mittee. Ii is already known that one
of the members, Senator Minturn,
will early in the next session intro
duce bill for the abolition OF the
Riparian Board .and the turning over
of the riparian business to the GUS
todians of the State school funds the
Governor, Comptroller, Treasurer,
Secretary of State and Attorney Gen.
eral.
The commissions of the present
members of the Riparian Board do
not expire until 1909, and it will take
an act of the Legislature to retire
them before that time. The commits
sioners receive $500 per year, with
the exception of the Governor, who is
an ex officio member. If the work is
put on the custodians of the school
fund the later body will receive no
extra compensation. 1t is believed
that the change would result in in
creased revenue for the school fund,
which gets the benefit of all riparian
funds

woman we're made husband and wife
by Rev. John M. Hunt, pastor of the
Cedarville Baptist Church, the pretty
ring ceremony being used.
The south parIor of the manor home

ferns and palms adding their tropical
beauty, giving substantial foundation
for the dainty, trailing smilax entwined
with pink crepe paper, falling in
graceful festoons from the centre
chandelier to all sides of the room.
A wealth OF pink carnations added
the dash of delicate color and swept
over the entire apartment a most de.
lightful fragrance. The large mantle
was banked with smilax and pinks.
The fair young bride, as she
plighted her troth to the resolute
young man beside her, was gowned
exqnisitely, her dress being of white
crepe de chene over white silk, trimmed
with white silk passementerie and

in keeping with the autumnal season.
Great stalks of corn, laden with the

selves about the room, while the yell
low pumpkins were comfortably
Nesting here and there. Suspended
from the centre of the ceiling was a
great bunch of hydrangea.

EAST LAKE GLASS
WORKS ARE SOLD.

Mon day afternoon, Daniel Souder,
acting in his.oapaoity as Sheriff, made
public saleTof the glassaplant of STRAIT
ton W. Moore. The property was sold
to foreclose $4,000 mortgage held by
Enos r. Artman, of Camden. The
entire plant was sold together with
the personal property for R$35OO Mr..
Artman bid in the property. He was
represented by Horace f. Nixon, of
Camden. a we'll known lawyer. There
was but one other bidder against Mr.
Artman.
What will become of the plant?
Will it be operated? 1t would seem
that Mr.. Artman would have to get
the plant in some shape TO bring back
part of the money he has invested
there
Thissglass plant was started as the
East Lake Glassworks by Kirby &
Mcbride. back as far as 1885. and in
those days the plant was progressive
and successful one. $75, worth of
glassware was produced annually, and
the glass found ready market. From
80 to 100 men and boys found employ
ment there, and wages paid out
amounted to $500 month.
Stratton W. Moore's venture with
he plant met with failure from the
fact that he lacked sufficient capital
TO. put the plant in shape, and make it
a progressive, productive concern.
Ii Is to be hoped that the present
owner will be enabled to find some
way to get thesooncern in active oper-
alton.
