The Trolley Hearing

Tuesday was the date for the hearing
OF the case in which the Burlington
County Transit Company was TO show
cause why the privilege of increasing
fares between Burlington and Moores-
town should not be rescinded The
Public Utility Commission called the
matter up and George B. Evans, repre-
senting the corporation, said the con
ference with the Public Service Com
pany had not resulted as it was hoped
1t would and it now appeared as If the
traffic arrangement that was so greatly
desired could not be entered into.
With this view of the case there was
nothing for the Burlington County
Company to do but go ahead and make
its own arrangements and that proce-
dure would be followed as soon as pos
sible. The conference with the Public
Service Company and the hope that
the latter would do something had
naturally led the trolley people to
allow the matter to rest rather quietly.
On the subject of new cars Mr.. Evans
said there had not been any disposition
to delay action, on the contrary the
officers of the trolley company had en-
deavored to have the cars rushed for
ward but they had not been successful.
The Brill Company had promised posi-
lively to have the new cars in the barn
by the middle of this month.
Arthur ID. Cross, of the General Elec-
trio Company, told of the difficulty at
tending the completion of new work,
owing to the inability of manufactur-
ing concerns to get motors and electri-
cal equipment.
Herbert s. Killie represented the
Business Mems Association and said
that organization did not have any de-
sire to harass the trolley people but it
did seem as If the subject was getting
to be somewhat of a joke. He asked
that final date be fixed in which the
new cars and other Improvements be
forthcoming or that the increased rate
be cut down.
Mr.. Evans thought that everything
could be accomplished by the first
week in January and on this state
ment it was decided that the further
hearing of the case he deferred until
the ninth of that month, and if condi-
tions are not satisfactorily changed by
that time the increased rates must be
reduced.
President Donges, of the Public Util-
lity Commission, also called attention
to the fact that an order of the Com
mission to adopt depreciation &C.
count" had not been observed and
that unless something was done in
that direction there would be action
taken that might not be pleasant fol
those concerned.

Committed Suicide.

The Thanksgiving festivities at Med
ford were rudely shattered on Thurs
day when it was discovered that Will
lam /. Reilly, the undertaken at that
place, had taken his own life. Late in
the afternoon a man called at Mr..
Reily's establishment to make some
arrangements for funeral The un-
dertaker suddenly left his customer,
going into the apartments where he
conducted his business, and remained
there so long that the customer became
uneasy and it was necessary to make a
search for Mr.. Reilly.
He was found lying on the floor. He
had removed his coat and had slashed
his left arm with razor. Blood was
flowing freely from the wound, but
there was still life in the body and the
man was hurried to the Burlington
County Hospital. The physicians and
nurses worked hard to save the man,
but the loss of blood had been toe
great and death ensued within an
hour after he had entered the institu
ton.
Mr.. Reilly was As years of age. He
was married and had four childIen
He had been under great strain dur
ing the last two or three weeks anC
/ had overworked himself. Being Of ,
nervous temperament it is though
that he became temporarily insane
He had shown signs of extreme ner
vousness for some time. Mr.. Reil,
was man of strictly temperate habit
and was highly esteemed in Medfor'
and the surrounding country.

Business Mems Association.

DuSluCOS IYACH AoOONidtlOna
The Business Mems Associa ation held
a meeting on Tuesday evening eat
which many subjects were discussed.
1t was announced that the Association
had been elected member OF the New
Jersey State Chamber of Commerce
This gives it statewide prominence.
Secretary Killie reported the out
come of the conference with the Public
Utility Commission over the affairs of
the Burlington County Transit Com
pany, an account of which appears
elsewhere.
The telephone service was touched
upon. There has been general COM
plant about the slowness in which
calls are answered by the central
station and the secretary was directed
to confer with manager Fairchild to see
if there could not be some improve
ment.
The ). d. Johnson Company, of
Hainesport, was added to the member
ship.
The Halloween committee rendered
it's report. 1t showed that the first ef-
! fort in the direction of giving the peo
pie day of entertainment had been a
success, even though the financial end
had been little short. The Associa-
ton took upon itself the task of meet
ing the small deficiency that was re
ported.
The colored electric bulbs that were
used to illuminate the town on Hallow
cen we're given to the Association and
they will be used on all occasions thai

will warrant their being strung. The
first Of these will be the week preced-
ing Christmas when the town will be
lighted every night. The general i'm
preston was that the expenditures for
the Halloween celebration were not in
vain. For first effort it was a grand
success, and many points were taken
notice of that will be valuable for
future occasions of the sort.
The annual banquet was considered
and it was decided to hold it in Janu-
ary. But the proceedings were not all
for pleasure. A committee was ap-
pointed to act in connection with chari-
table organizations with the idea Of
discovering where there is need for re-
lief of suffering and to do what is
necessary to see that those who are
worthy are not allowed to go hungry or
suffer from cold.

Farm Demonstration Notes.

In order to celebrate the closing of
the farm year and to prepare for greater
things agriculturally for Burling .on
county in 1917, the two farmers organ
izations of the county, the County
Board of Agriculture and the Farm
Bureau, will hold dinner on Satur-
day, December 10Th, in Columbus
Grange hall. This is unique affair in
the history of Burlington county agri-
culture and is sign of the greater CO.
operation existing among our progress
siye farmers.
The ladies of the Columbus Grange
are providing the dinner and it will
doubtless be up to the usual high
standard. According to ancient GUS
tom among farmers dinner will be
served early, the guests being invited
to assemble at O'Clock for social
hour and they will be seated promptly
at o'clock. Because the seating
capacity of the hall is limited the com
mittee has decided to sell no tickets
after December I1th, and the popularity
of the speakers makes it probable that
the capacity of the hall will be en-
gagged before that date.
Professor Alya Agee, secretary of the
New State Board of Agriculture, will
be one of the speakers, as will also
Emmor Roberts, who was recently re-
elected member of the State Eegisla-
ture. The principal speaker of the
evening will be Robert S. Seeds, ol
Birmingham, Pa, known to farmers
throughout the United States as BOZ
Seeds. He is the most eloquent and
humorous speaker on agricultural topics
of the day and is worth going miles tC
hear.
Edward A. Mechling, of Moorestown
will be POSTMASTER.
The Burlington county farmers
realize that successful farming is i'm
possible without the cooperation o
the gentler sex and therefore thi
banquet will be both for men ant
| women.

Death of A. w. Lofland.

Alfred w. Lofand died at his home
in MarIton, Thursday morning, after
having suffered from complication of
diseases for some time. During his i'll
ness he was compelled to go to . hospi-
tai for treatment, but the relief seemed
to be but temporary.
Mr. Lofiand was, we'll known in this
county and the surrounding country.
He was a dealer in live stock, his
speciality being horses and mules. He
drif:ed into being his own auctioneer
and also conducted sales for other
parties. He was a Democrat and q
strict partisan. He took much interest
in the affairs of Evesham township,
representing it in the Board Of Free
holders. While he was considered a
square and just dealer, he was also one
who allowed sprejudices and personal
feelings to sway him to a great extent.
But he was always frank and open.
He never stabbed in the dark.
The only county office he aspired to
was Sheriff, when he was defeated by
Sheriff Stecher, two years ago. He
leaves widow and stepson, Edwin
d. Rogers, who is the present member
of the Board OF Freeholders from Ewes
ham, and who is quite i'll with throat
trouble.

Political Notes.

Besieged by an army of offics.seek-
ers, Governon-elect Edge has kept his
counsel and has fled away the applica-
tions for future reference The only
appointment that he seems to have de-
cided upon is that of q private secre-
tary, and he has chosen f. K. Croas.
dale, of Atlantic City, for this impor.
tant and responsible position. MIR.
Croasdale is the editor of the Alta tic
City Press, and is probably more inti-
mately acquainted with the new Gov
ernor than any other man he might
have chosen. The new secretary has n
statewide acquaintance with those who
will come into contact with the chief
executive, and he has the affabiIitv
and diplomacy to make him a yerv
valuable member of Governor Edges
cabinet. THE News congratulates both
of the gentlemen upon the selection.
Next September there must be a
nomination for sheriff. 1t does not
keem that two years have passed since
sheriff Stecher took the Office, and the
primaries will soon be upon .us. While
there has not been any definite an
nouncements on the subject, it is re-
ported that Charles A. Bovine will he
willing to relinquish the office of stew
ard of the almshouse and 90 to the
county prison, while deputy sheriff
Fiestwoods friends are suggesting
that he be promoted A. EngIe
Haines, of Lumberton, may be ex-
pected to be in the race, and it is prob
able that before the gentle springtime
arrives there will be others who are
willing to serve their county in the
sheriff's Office.
1t is reported that George Strick, of
Florence, wants to be state prison
keeper. George halls from Florence,
and as the retiring keeper was a resi-
dent of that town there are those who
think the place should be kept right
within their midst" Samuel W.
Kirkbride, of Asbury Park, who has
been one of the supervisors for a num-
ber of years, and who is very familiar
with the workings of the PRISON, is also
q candidate for keeper. OF course Sam
lives in Monmouth county, but that
does not alter the fact that he is q for
mer Burlington county boy and his
appointment would appear to be as
much from this county as from Mon
mouth.
