Stav OF Execution.

Application was made to the Court of
Pardons to have the sentence of Edgar
Murphy, sentenced to be ~electrocuted
next week, commuted to a life sentence.
The Court was to have held a special ses-
sion yesterday to consider this applica-
ton, but Murphy's counsel decided to
make another move and apply for a
writ to carry the case to the Court of
Errors and Appeals. Prosecutor At
kinson had been notified to attend the
special session of the Court of Pardons
but on Friday he was told that the meet
ing would not be held.
The supposition is that the writ Of error
was applied for and refused yesterday.
1t formerly was the custom for a writ of
that character to be granted and then
the case had to go to the Supreme Court
with the chance to go still further to the
Court of Errors, but the practice has
been changed and now the application is
made to the Chancellor. who at once re-
fuses it and that takes the case to the
highest court Immediately. The Court
OF Errors will not meet until next month,
and the application for a writ win act as
q stay in carrying out the sentence of
death IN Murphy, who was to have been
e~lectrocuted some time next week.

To Make a Test Case.

Governor Fielder's private secretary,
l.. Edward Hermann, has been selected
as the state official who is to bring a test
case to settle the question as to whether
the railroad companies must honor the
passes of all the officials who now have
passes and who claim the right to free
transportation.
Some of the railroad companies last
year threatened to ignore the passes of
the officials, but nothing definite was
accomplished.
The railroads object to carrying free a
number of the state officials who have in
recent years been added to the list of
~pass-holders.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hermann
will offer his pass and a conductor will
ignore it and ask him to getoff the train
Then is to follow suit against the rail
road company.
Lawyer A. G. Wall, Of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, visited Mr.
Hermann the other day at the stat
house, and then came the announcement
about q test case.

Special Meeting.

The Board of Freeholders will meet
tomorrow and there will be several items
to take the attention of the members.
The road question will be discussed
and a report will be received on what the
State Road Commissioner intends to do
in the way of distributing money and
how much he proposes to put in this
county. In connection with road inn
provements the Board may consider a
proposition which is being presented that
has somewhat of a serious aspect. The
Atkinson Brothers, of Tuckerton, have
complained to the Court of Chancerv
that Burlington county has failed to
keep the road around Bass River in a
passable condition as the Court had
ordered. The Vice Chancellor said he
was of the opinion the Board was defiant
in not keeping the road in good condi-
ton and he would have to have an ex-
PLANTATION.
Another thing that will probably con
sumo considerable time will be the sub
ject of a Farm Demonstration. The re-
fusal to vote the amount necessary to
maintain this Office has caused much
discussion in all parts of the county, and
it has developed that the farmers are
not, as might be supposed, a unit on the
One Grange voted against it.
The County Grange got into a heated
discussion over the matter, the result
being that a resolution affecting the
affair was laid on the table. From one
township there will come two delegations,
one to urge the appointment of the
Demonstration, the other to oppose it.
At the meeting last month the vote was
% in favor, 6 against, 2 absent and one
not voting. The friends of the measure
'ay they have assurance of several of the
% coming their way, while the oppon
claim that there will not only be
10 change in that way, but that some of
he others will be against it. To-mor-
ow's meeting will be very interesting.

Beverly.

Explosion of some substance supposed
to be dynamite in coal that had just
been placed in a range wrecked the
kitchen in the farm house of Samuel P.
Greedy, at Perkins Lane, and nearly re-
suited in the destruction of the house by
fire. The blast blew the stove to pieces,
knocked down the brick chimney, and,
scattering Goals about the floor, set the
carpet afire. Greedy, seated near the
stove at the time, had a narrow escape
from injury when a lid was hurled neal
his head. With the aid of his wife he
was able to extinguish the flames.
Using only fifty shovelfuls of coal,
about half a ton, in firing the locomo-
tive of a passenger train between Tren-
and Camden, Amos Greedy, Jr.. a fire
man living here, established a new
record for the Trenton Division last
week. Greedy, who has studied scien-
tiic firing and fuel economy, applied
some original principles when he found
his coal supply unexpectedly short and
a supervisor who was on the locomotive
reported the results of the experiment.
The record is the more remarkable as
the train was an accommodation and
made every regular and flag stop on the
line with one exception. The lowest
previous record for the run was 92 SHOW.
. elfuls of coal.
Beverly commissioners have ordered
an investigation of the adequacy of sup
ply furnished the city for fire protection
by the Delaware River Water Company
Complaints have been made by citizens
that the pressure was far below the stand
ard at the fire which recently destroyed
the Masonic business block. A com
mittee of citizens asked to conduct tht
investigation and report to the commits
sion is composed of G. D. Logan, Char
les w. Adams, Jr., and F. j. Louinger
The commission has also requested tn,
company to install pressure guages il
the fire houses.

condition as a result of a fall down the
cellar stairs in which she broke her arm
and severely injured her head. For a
time little hope was held out for her re-
covery. She was found by her husband
in an unconscious condition. He inn
mediately summoned assistance and
then collapsed. About six weeks ago he
was caught In q shafting at a local
hosiery mill, in which he barely escaped
with his life. After being whirled
around the shafting several seconds hs
flung to the floor minus all his clothing
except his shoes and stockings.

Very respectfully,
HENRY III. SAVAGE

The first Democratic measure to pass
the present session of the Legislature
went through last evening, when the
Senate approved the bill giving the
Mayor Of Newark the power to name an
auditor of accounts. This was q strictly
partisan measure and there was a bitter
political fight over it. The bill was pass
ed by the vote of Senator White, OF this
county, who cast his ballot with the
Democrats.
Governor Fielder did not name q Pros.
ecutor of the Pleas for this county, last
evening, as was expected. This delay is
said to be encouraging to several of tbs
candidates who thought their chances
were growing slim.

EVERYONE is / having a Clothing Sale. Some of these
sales are genuine and others are a 'joke7. Some are
offering honest goods, some are offering cheap goods
purchased especially for their sales. DON'T BE IN
BY THEWoRD SALE, for some stores are
having so-caned Sales every day in the year.
It is hard for you to determine which of these esales,
IS genuine. Therefore you should go to a store which has
a clean record; go to a store which has always used honest.
straightforward methods to do business, go to a store which
abhors dishonesty; but don't go to a store that offers some
thing for nothing.
