verv Property Defeated.

Nobody excepting the few State Off
cials directly interested will regret the
defeat of the Housed bill. This was to in
crease the number of off1ce-holders who
have passes over the State railroads. In
its original form it provided free trans
portation for the assistants in the at
torney-general's Office, the assistant SUI
perintendent of public schools, the road
supervisor, the motor vehicle inspector,
the civil service commissioners and the
secretary and examiner of the State Board
of Health.
The enactment of such bill would have
opened the way for general demand for
passes all along the official line. The
moment it came up in the House Leader
Lewis wanted to amend it to include all
county judges, another Assemblyman
wanted the State auditor to ride free,
still another thought the county ply
scians ought to be deadheads. and there
is no telling just where the list would
have ended.
The drift of the whole free pass scheme
was checked by motion to strike out the
enacting clause, and this was carried
through by a slim majority. 1t may be
possible that very few of the State Off
cials should by law be nut on the free
list with the members of the Legislature
and of the Supreme Court, but it is bet
ter that the free pass business be under
done rather than oYerdone. When abolish
ed by the law the deadhead list had grown
to enormous dimensions and was one OF
the prolific sources of political corruption
Anything that will tend to restore the
old time railroad pass conditions should
receive scant courtesy in the Legislature

ton he should be given lesson that
would be lasting.
Judge Horner then ordered Carey to
stand up He told him he had been found
guilty on two charges. He had been
given fair trial, and had been defended
by able lawyers. In one case there was
absolutely no defence. In the other, that
of beating his wife, the defence was one
of the most unique and most unconscion-
able defences ever interposed. The court
said he could not for a moment conceive
that the story was true. If Mrs Carey
had received the injuries which were
shown to have been inflicted upon her,
then Carey was a very exceptional hus-
band, for he himself testified that he left
her to go to work, remaining away until
she had been removed to the house of
neighbor and then, when he had finished
his labor, he did not go to her side, but
went to Moorestown and bought rum.
Mrs Carey was at the neighbours for about
three weeks, yet her husband did not have
sufficient interest in her welfare to go and
see her more than once or twice.
The Judge told Carey that while he
might be an honest man, he certainly was
not law-abiding, God fearing citizen. He
had been before the court on other occa
sions and had escaped with fine, but the
day of fines in his case had passed. The sen
tence was for the assault and battery on
constable Gilbert, one year in the state
prison, to date from the day of commit
ment, and fine of 800. For the assault
and battery on his wife the sentence was
two and g. half years in the state prison,
to date from commitment, and a fine of
5000.
Carey was considerably affected by his
and did not want to be in a
hurry to leave the court room. He held a
consultation with his lawyers and the
constables, Peak and Gilbert, who were
detailed to take him to jail, we're com
PEELED to insist that he hurry up. When
he reached the prison he wept profusely.
Carey is SO years of age. The sentence
imposed upon him Is practically two and
a half years, from which certain amount
will be taken if he behaves himself.
Frank Baier was given five months in
the county jail, for stealing metal from
the Riverside Metel Company.
Ralph Wilkie was called for sentence
on the charge of assaulting August Hotter,
of Florence. He was fined $50, and he
stepped over to the Sheriff and settled at
once.
Honey Bird, who had pleaded guilty to
the theft of some small articles from
person in Wrightstown. was sent to jail
for three months.
John Spivak was present for sentence,
but the two other men who were convict
ed with him did not appear, so the Judge
laid this case over, and ordered bench
warrants issued for the others and also
ordered their bail forfeited.

with the death of Henry d. Rue, the
Wrightstown farmer, at the New Jersey

The case went to the jury at 2.45 o'clock
and a verdict was returned at 8 o'clock.
The young mans father, who is min
lister at Smithfield, Pa, and his brother,

we're much relieved at the verdict, as was

jury that Ballantine should not be allow.

Browns Minis.

The new bridge here has been complet-
ed. 1t is certainly handsome and dur
able structure. 1t is about five feet higher
than the old bridge, to permit that much
increase in the height of the drain and
allow more water area for the lake. There
are thirty arc electric lights on the bridge.
The contract for this structure, it will be
remembered, was given to M. Warner
Hargrove by the Board of Freeholders, for
$500, j. B. Kelley, proprietor OF the
Browns Mills tract, agreeing to pay half
the cost. Mr.. Hargroye passed the con-
tract over to Mr.. Kelley, who took charge
of the work and spent $14, 900 in making
fine bridge at cost of $4,000 to the
county.

| One Of the most closely contested school
trustee elections in the history of Chester
field township was held on Tuesday,
when the following trustees were elected
Andrew Carr, of Sykesyille; Thomas
Newbold and Charles Hornor, of Chester
field, for three years; Charles Haviland,
Howard Sharp and Walter Black, all of
Chesterfield, for two years; George Sex
ton, of Chesterfield, for one year. The
people of Crosswicks have been trying for
some time to have their Anticipated school
house altered so as to be more up to date,
and the people of Chesterfield decided if
there was to be any altering or new build
ings they should have the same first in
spite of the fact that there are twice as
many children crowded into the Cross
wicks school, and they went ahead and
had their slate of candidates all picked
out, with result that they elected the
whole ticket from their end of the town
ship. The people of Crosswicks turned
out in small numbers, and as result find
themselves with but one member on the
board, while Chesterfield has six, with
much fewer pupils. One of the newly
elected candidates has offered site for a
Chesterfield school house free of charge,
and another is advocating the erection of
a high school in Chesterfield, instead of
carrying the high school pupils to the
Bordentown high school, as at present.
Although the selection for successor to
the present school clerk is four months
off, number of candidates have au-
nounced themselves as successors to the
present clerk, Howard Sharp, of Chester
field, and it looks as though this gentle
man would have to make a hard fight to
retain his position.

'In the Bishops Carriage. the comedy

Miriam Machaelson's story of the same
title, will be presented by the Orpheum
PLAYERS at the Chestnut Street theatre,

its action are laid in Philadelphia. I'm
the Bishops Carriage" concerns the life
of a young girl who is thief and so steep
ed in criminality as to make her redemp
ton almost an impossibility, But her re-
generation is brought about by man who
is convinced that beneath her exterior
there beats heart which is possessed of
nobler and better qualities. In many re
spects Nance Olden, the young girl thief,
is stronger and more subtle character
than Leah Kleschna, because, young as
she is. Nance understands the nature of
her crime, and remains Indifferent until
her heart is touched by the power Of genu-
inc love-an influence to which it has
hitherto been a stranger-albeit the grip
on her will-power and her actions which
has been secured by one Tom Dorgan, a
companion in crime, and the admiration
felt for the one who could thus influence
her has been mistaken by the girl for a
touch of real affection. In the Orpheum
production of 'In the Bishops Carriage"
Marion Barney will play Nance Olden
and William Ingersoll will be seen as
sLattimer, the man who redeems her.

Next week at the Chestnut Street
theatre will be presented Lester Wallack's
famous play, "Rosedale. " This is entirely
different from any play which the Or
pheum Company has thus far presented,
Int in its tender sentiment and strong
appealing qualities it readily compares
with the memorable Rosemary" Rose
dale" is melodrama of the old English
school and was originally adapted from
popular romatic novel. For years it held
a conspicuous position in Lester Wallack's
repertoire and not season went by in
that distinguished actors later career
without the presentation of "Rosedale. "
Every known human passion has been
drawn upon in the construction Of the
play, and so well Is it written that every
part and character is of Importance. Rose
dale antedates the modern one-star play
by many years, so that in its presentation
every member of the Orpheum Company
will appear to unusually good advantage.

wranglings never get anywhere. Thew just trav
el around in a circle.
We think, however, that the limit Of absurdity
has been reached in a communication printed in
an evening paper of this city in which politics
is injected into this religious controversy, the
storm center of which has been at Dover. We
are we'll aware of the painful fact that there are
some people in Delaware-and our vocabulary
fails us when we try to characterize httingly
their narrowness of mind-who see politics in
everything that is done, who would have us liv-
ing in a state of constant political eruption and
corruption
It seems that some of the articles have appear
ed in a Republican paper in Dover; other arti-
cles have been printed in a Democratic paper,
but it remains for a grotesque figure who writes
under the name of "The Warning Voice OF
Nemesis" to bring a Republican party organ
and Republicans in general, we fancy, into this
matter, and endeavor by insinuation and init
nation TO mix the Republican party up in the
dispute. The next thing suppose will be
that the Republican organization" is in the
fight giving orders for this or that But the fact
that some one is trying 70 make political capital
out OF the matter shows to what depth some OF
these alleged religious combatants will descend.
The Republican paper referred to did contain
a letter. preposterous attack upon the Meth
odst Church in this state We presume the
editor thought the matter proper for public
print and it is not for us to dictate to the ed-
tor of any other paper how he shall conduct
his affairs, but when an effort is made to give
this religious wranging a partisan basis in the
hope that votes for the opposition may be made
we think It time to enter a word of protest
These disputants and wranglers-and we do not
for moment believe that they represent any
considerable body OF Methodist aymen or
preachers-should go into some quiet corner
and make an introspection Of themselves, and ii
the spirit of the Lord is in them or has been
in them as they profess, they will see the fool
ishness and futlty Of their unseemly conduct.
They need a housekeeping of their minds, their
hearts and their souls
