Ing his automobile filled with slot ma
chimes which he confscated in stores at

chimes are stored at the county jail, few

The Delaware River Navigation Com
pany, which maintains passenger and
freight service between Philadelphia and
Bordentown, is reported to have been sold
to Philadelphia syndicate. The line has
been in existence long time, and has
landings at Delanco, Beverly. Burlington,
Bristol, Bordentown and Trenton. 1t is
believed that the purchasers will build
new steamers, combining speed and COM
fort, to conform with modern ideas of
river travel. The company recently lost
the steamboat Burlington, which sank in
the Delaware river, off Trenton. Several
wreckers have been endeavoring to save
the vessel, but she remains practically In
the same position as when she went down
last summer.
A meeting of local optionists from va
rious sections of the county was held In
the Court House on Saturday afternoon.
Members of that party declared that their
cause is not a dead issue, and from pro-
posed new ideas to be injected into their
platform, they hope to start campaign
of education next fall. In using litera-
ture for this purpose, 1t was stated that
they must not give too much of a treatise
ON the liquor question, as the people have
clearly defined that they do not want pro-
hibition In its strictest sense. That the
league must create sentiment for COM
Ing generations by intoxicating the true
local option idea into the minds of chill
dren and make the movement conta-
gious disease, was the suggestion adj
vanced by Rev. William T. Snead, of
Beverly. In order to effect a thorough
organization three representatives of the
county league are to be appointed in each
township, and the selection will be made
by the following committee appointed for
that purpose: Rev. William T. Snead, of
Beverly; Rev. Arthur D. Hilton and Hen
ry Tatnall Brown, Moorestown; Otis B.
Read, Mount Holly; Rev. D. NJ. Lennox.
Vincentown; Henry 81. Albertson and
Carleton E. Sboll, Burlington.
