And he was not interrupted again;
not until the dramatic climax burst
upon them with crushing force.
Gerard had a boyhood friend, by
name Haddon FELTON,, and when Ger
ard declared his intention of going to
America, FELTON, expressed a deter
mination to accompany him. This
phase Of the contemplated journey met
with the opposition Of two persons
the elder Mr.. Villiers, and a gardener
at The Yews named William Hughes.
Their objections, singularly enough,
were based upon identical grounds
vague but M the less powerful dis
trust of Haddon FELTON,. Gerard, how
ever, laughed at his fathers intangible
fears. and Mr.. Villiers could not press
his indefinite objections.
Therefore, a few days later, when
William Hughes came privately to the
father and expressed similar suspicious
OF FELTON,, an arrangement was made
whereby the gardener was to follow
his young master secretly, and keep a
watchful eye upon the latter's travel
ing companion, Haddon FELTON,. So
when the two friends sailed Hughes
was a steerage passenger on the same
steamship; in New York he found en-
pioyment in the hotel at which they
stopped; and SO on, by similar expedi-
ents he managed to keep near them
without their knowledge.
Several years passed in this way,
and the gardener began to believe that
his suspicious were unwarranted, and
by and by Hughes, with characteristic
frankness, sought out FELTON,, made
himself known to him, told him his
purpose in coming to America and
~apologized for his mistaken thoughts.
"Villiers, Of course, when he heard
OF Hughes presence in the United
States, was surprised, but at the same
time overjoyed to see him. He found
a good position for the faithful serv-
ant in Chicago. and the surveillance
ceased.
However, the two kept In touch.
Hughes became a lake sailor, and viii
liers' employment carried him over
vast stretches Of country.
For one protesting the warmest
sort Of friendship for villiers, Haddon
FELTON, was singularly affected by
Hughes presence in America. Ger
tain plans Of his were upset, and
where before he could act with as
surance he now had to move cautious
ly-fearfully. His affected illness
quickly brought him and his friend to-
gether again; they were soon in a re-
mote region among the mountains;
and he resolved to act boldly.
snow, from their early boyhood up
to this time there had been an extraor-
binary physical likeness between the
two friends. Perhaps this is what
brought them together; / cannot say.
It IL not that they were doubles, or
that a~cquaintances would ever mis-
take one for the other; but such a
likeness did exist, and was often COM

BIG DEAL IN
REAL ESTATE
Entire Institute Tract Is
Taken Over.
WILL DEVELOP IT
Bridgeton Young Men Have Ac-
quired Big Property and Will
Improve 1t.

1t looks like something doing in
the real estate line. A large transac-
ton has just been closed which in
wolves the entire property, excepting
meadow, which was formerly owned
and occupied by the South Jersey In
stitute.
The title to the property, including
the large brick building. stood in the
name of the Institute Realty Com
rany, a North Jersey corporation, and
tn s Company has turned over all it's
holding to three of Bridgeton's hust-
ling young men, Archer Platt, Walter
H. Bacon, Jr., and John j. Nolan.
They will continue to use the name
Institute Realty Company, the office
of the Company having been moved
to No. Pioneer Building, and Mr..
Bacon, the new Secretary, being the
officer in charge.
These gentlemen promise a live,
up-to-date development of this desir-
able Third Ward tract, unless negoti-
ations with out of town parties are
consummated by which the building
and part Of the grove will be used
as a high class sanitarium and rest
home.
The location and high elevation
make this site ideal for an institu-
ton of this character.
On the other hand, the demolition
of the building and the opening OF
attractive drives through the grove
! would afford many desirable building
sites in this rapidly growing section
! of Bridgeton.

time in public debate he had ever
asked a perfectly proper and cour-
teous question and not received an
answer. He therefore declared that
what he was about to say could not
be considered personal because he
did not know to whom his remarks
were directed. He declared that the
engineer who had prepared the ordi-
nance in the beginning had failed to
understand the mere matter of ma
themat1cs having provided in the or
dinance an appropriation for the
work which was 16 per cent. less
than 1t would cost. To Mr.. Holmes
mind an engineer who would pro-
vide such lamentable failure in
mathematics was not safe engineer
to oliow in the matter of pipe sizes,
fittingt, etc.
This remark ranked Mr.. Hettinger
and he replied that many engineers
will make 16 per cent. error in es-
Inmates. He said he would not now
answer who drew the ordinance. He
did not choose to answer. Some time
after the passage of this ordinance
he may be willing to say, but not now.
Mr.. Holmes said that it was ap-
parent there were four men in Coun-
Gil who were perfectly willing to
vote for plan to cost $4,000, and
no one is willing to own the plan.
Mr.. Laning remarked that the pro-
ceedure savored of steam roller
methods, but the ordinance was
passed two times and goes over un-
til the next regular meeting, June 9th.

ATTENDED BOARD

Harry E. Pine, of Pine & Whitaker,
spent yesterday in Atlantic City. Mr..
Pine is a member of the State Opto-
metry Board, and the Board meeting
took place in that city yesterday.
This Board must examine and pass
upon applicants for license to practice
the profession of this science in New
Jersey.
Mr.. Pine, by long practice in this
country as we'll as some practice abroad
is certainly we'll qualified surely to be
a member of this very important
Board.
At one time the old firm of Queen &
Co., was recognized as in the first
ranks of optometrists, and manufac-
turers of optometrical instruments,
and Mr.. Pine grew up, as the saying
goes, in that institution.

Mr.. Hettinger said that he had been
apprised of the fact that the pipe
drawing water from Walnut Street
across Commerce Street on the Bo-
ity Surety Company in collecting
bond for the defunct Hudson Termi-
nal Company. The judgment secured
together with interest, amounted to
$5,203.07, and from this was deducted
the court costs and expenses and a
fee of $1,000 charged by the special
counsel.
L Mr.. Hettinger asked if there had
been any contract with Mr.. Logue
relative to fee. The reply was in the
negative. Mr.. Hettinger suggested
that the fee of counsel was nearly
one-fourth of the claim.
Corporation Counsel suggested that
perhaps it was proper for him to say
that Mr.. Logue had paid from his fee
$500 for New York counsel necessary
in the case. Mr.. Stanger said he had
cheerfully approved the bill, and felt
that Mr.. Logue had made an excellent
legal fight for the city. The original
claims placed in the hands of Mr..
Logue, was SALTS, and now turns
back $4,1O9.14.
The check was accepted upon mo-
ton of Mr.. Esibill and the expenses

A petition was read signed by all
of the teamsters in the city asking
for S. per day for a man and double
team, and $3.50 per day for horse and

further consideration.
The City Collector was authorized
| to exchange his present typewriter
for a new machine.
The Public Works Commissioner
| was authorized to clean up city prop
erty at South East Avenue and Ellis
Street, or rent the same if it was ad-
yantageouS.
Mr.. Esibill stated that the Armory
officials were anxious to make i'm
provements to its property and re-
quested that the Washington Street
extension be dedicated as a public
street. To make this improvement,
| Mr.. Esibill offered a resolution to
purchase from William A. Logue a
| strip of land on the north side of the
street at a cost of $150. This will
move off the bottling house and make
straight line for the street full
width.
Mr.. Hettinger opposed the pur-
| chase of the land but his was the
| only vote against the resolution and
the purchase was made.
The Public Safety Commissioner
was directed to prevent dumping of
papers and light trash on lots on

EVERYTHING IS
LOOKING UP
Crops are in Splendid Condition in
Nearly All Parts of Marion
County

From every section of Marion coun-
ty reports of good crops continue to
come. Staples predominant, and corn
is king among these. Around Lowell
there is good stand of corn, accord
ing to Robert and NJ Neil, who were
in the city today. Cantaloupes began
moving in that section Monday, and
have been moving steadily since.
Watermelons will begin to move about
Monday week. Messrs. Neil say that
they did not do so well with their
string beans on account of the drouth
of several weeks ago. These men are
farming on Sugar Hammock lands.
In the Blitchton and Berlin section
the crops are coming on fine, and the
recent rains have given things new
vitality. The rains have benefited the
whole county, in fact. w. B. Rawls
and D. Shealy, of Berlin, in town to-
day, report conditions excellent in
their section. Across the Oklawaha
river, according to T. B. Griggs, of
Lynne, and E. L. Quinn of Conner,
the tendency is toward general i'm
provement. The big need in this
section, these men say, is better trans
portation facilities. A tram road has
been laid recently, but is not perma-
nent. A permanent railroad through
this southeastern part of the county
would bring about considerable de-
velopment.

pROGREssIyEs WON'T PROHIBIT
TWO OF THE BEST IN A WEEK

Judge w. E. Smith, who was re-
elected to the Office of county Judge
in the primaries last week, bought a
Maxwell car of the latest model yes
terday afternoon from R. r. Carroll,
the Maxwell distributor for this tes-
ritory.
1t is said that the third time is the
charm. Nearly a year ago, Judge
Smith attempted to buy a Maxwell
from Mr.. Carroll. Deliveries were
backward at that time and he could
not wait. Later on he made another
attempt to buy car, but was most
too quick for the Maxwell man and
bought a car of another make be-
fore his offer was accepted. Both of
the previous purchases having been
disposed Of, Judge Smith is now driv-
ing a Maxwell and has joined the
ranks of the many satisfied owners of
this car whick is beating the world on
its low upkeep expense based on the
miles, travelled.
Judge Smith and family went to
Orlando in their new car this after
noon, where they will spend Sunday
with friends.
