Cut His Timber.
A case which if fought out would
have proved of considerable interest,
was commenced in Squire Riley’s court
Friday afternoon. It was an action
brought for damages upon the part of
W. D. Hepner against Jeremiah T.
Conner. J. L. VanSyckle represented
the plaintiff and John S. Mitchell the
defendant. Van opened his case by
calling to the stand the plaintiff, Mr.
Hepner. He said that lie had bought
sotnelandatun executor’s sale of tliees
tat.e ofa widow by the name of Johnson,
and much of it was woodland. He had
gotten a deed for the property and pro
ducedthe document. A man by the
name of Hosted had gone on the jirop
ei'ty at one time after he came in posses
sion, and cut timber from it for one
Jeremiah T. Conner. He notified him
to quit. Afterward Mr. Conner him
self came upon the property and cut
timber, the entire damage estimated
by the witness to be about $25. The
timber was young growth and valua
ble.
Daniel Hosted told the Squire after
he had been sworn, that he had cut
the timber for Mr. Conner. He stopped
work upon the property after lie bad
been notified.
Geo. Hepner swore to the value of
the wood cut and the damage to the
land. $35 would cover it in his opin
ion. With this witness the plaintiff
rested their case, and Mr. Mitchell
called the defendant:
'A ou are (he defendant in this case?’’
he asked of Mr. Conner.
"I am.” replied that gentleman.
' That’s all,” remarked Mr. Mitchell.
"We rest. This action was taken
merely to appeal to court, and of
course the Justice found judgment
against the defendant,
"It's a fine point of law,” remarked
Mr. VanSybkle to a reporter after
ward, "You see a lot of property was
sold by the estate and Conner cried
the sale, and for his pay was given a
piece of wood land. But as real estate
cannot bo transferred without a deed,
1 think we’ve got him.'’
Poultry Association.
J The annual meeting of the South
Jersey Poultry Association was held
| hi their rooms in Hanthorn,s building,
Thursday night. A large number of the
members were present and much in
terest was manifested. Reports of dif
ferent committees showed the organ
ization to be in a very prosperous
condition, money, clear of all expen
ses, being in the hands of Treasurer
Philip E. Souders. The election of
officers were taken up. with the follow
ing result: President, Win. N. Hewitt;
Vice Presidents, Samuel J. Benson,
Chas. W. Shoe uaker, Charles Holmes;
Secretary, \V. H. Hainesworth; Treas
urer, Philip E. Souder. The follow
ing gentlemen were elected to the Ex
ecutive Committee; George Douglass,
William Rice, Charles Ballenger, B.
L. Felton and Joseph Westcott.
'1 he work of the society was thor
oughly discussed and partial arrange
ments were made for the annual ex
hibition of the Society to be held in
January, 1889. Several important
changes were made for the better, in
the by-laws. New members are con
stantly being added to the Association.
The purpose of the new building on
, the Central railroad is no longer a
i secret. The structure is being erected
| ^or H'e Swift Beef Packing Company,
of Chicago, and its business will be
the wholesaling of beef to all parts of
Cumberland county. The establish
ment will be known as the “Bridgeton
Wholesale Meat Market.” It is the
intention of this great company to
ship quantities of beef to this city, and
at times there will be a hundred tons
j of .meat in the building, with as many
I tops of ,ice.( A similar building is be
iog erected in Atlantic City.

A BUILDING BOOM.
Scores of New Buildings to
be Erected this
Spring.
A small army of builders and me
cbanics are anxiously awaiting the
advent of Spring, when building oper
ations will be begun on a more exten
sive scale than even during the past
prosperous season. Notwithstanding
the large number of dwellings erected
last Summer and Pall, many more will
be put up this Spring and Summer. Ail
of our contractors have umerous con
tracts for the erection of new build
ings. These will include new houses
on nearly every street in Bridgeton.
Some of the buildings will he stores,
and changes in many of our more
prominent, business places down town
are at presant contemplated.
A. P. Randolph probably leads the
builders in the number of contracts
they have on hand. The most im
portant of these is the building of the
freight depot on South Pearl street,
and C. O, Davis’ brick stores. He has
several line houses to build in the
Fourth and Third wards. W. C. Whit
aker & Co., have several contracts
on hand, as have Smith & Conover.
Clhas. Williams and Ackley & Allen
will also build some dwellings for our
citizens.
York street a new thoroughfare in
the Fourth ward will be greatly built
up. Leander Sharp and David Loder
will build there. By June the con
tract for the handsome new station on
South Pearl street will he given out,
arid a small army of workers will push
it to an early completion.
This work will greatly prosper our
city. It will give many men employ
ment and add much to the value and
appearance of the pia.ee. We are glad
to know of these prospects, and hope
that at the end of the year the big
permit book, up at the Mayor's office,
will have taken from it more than two
hundred and twenty nine permits for
the erection of handsome new build
ings. __
rha coming season will be
about the same as last year. Carpen
ters' journeymen will receive $2.00 per
day, and hard brick layers will get
$:i.00 per day. The hod carriers will
make trouble for contractors. Last
year they received $2.00 per day, but
this year they demand $2.50, and claim
that they will not work for one penny
less. Contractors say that they can
not pay it if they take contracts at the
same rate as in the past. Before the
end of this month, however, all these
difficulties will be settled, and the
music of the saw and hammer will be
heard in every section.
Interest Inis been aroused by the re
port that a periodic star called the Star
of Bethlehem has been visible in the
heavens, and the star is said to have a
period of 815 years. This report rests on
the most shadowy foundation. It is
true that, some 300 years back, such a
star was asserted to have appeared in
Cassiopeia within the period named,
but the observation has not been en
dorsed by any modern astronomer.
But at this time the name “Star of
Bethlehem1' has been curiously assign
ed to Venus, which planet, during the
past December, has been placed so
favorably for observation that in the
early morning sky it has formed a very
beautiful object. The mistake has
been widespread, and it is impossible
to trace its origin.
In the year 1848 one of the features
of the State campaign was the license
question. Out of one hundred and
seventy townships in the State, one
hundred and ten voted in favor of
license and sixty against it, 41,270
votes being polled in the State. Of
these, 21,000 were in favor of license
and 19,610 against it. A curious fea
ture of the campaign of 1848. was that
Newark and other cities in the upper
part of the State, now the stronghold
of the liquor men, voted in favor of
having no license.
Clark Kndicott, of Oeeanville, Atlan
tic county, has been arrested and lined
for aggravated cruelty to his cows dur
ing the winter. He has kept them in
a rail pen made in the corner of tlie
road fence, without any shelter from
the stcrm, not half fed and watered,
till the wonder is how they lived at all.
Some of the time these poor animals
have been covered with iee.
Paterson silk manufacturers are re
ceiving otters from various towns, and
cities of land,or freedom from taxation,
if they will remove, but at present few

has harbored the industry so long.-/ (
Tomato Growers.
A large number of farmers were in
this city Saturday, and a reporter of
the Piostkkr took advantage of the
fact and got the opinion of many on
the question of getting an increased
price for their tomatoes the coming I
season. Few were found who had not j
signed the agreement to refuse Jess i
than $7.00 per ton for their tomatoes,
and yet many of them thought they
would not be able to get it. The rea
sons were obvious, the principal on<>s
being, first, that many contracts had
been made previous to the meeting of
the farmers, and $0.(0 per ton had
been the price.set. Men could not go
back on their agreements, consequot.ly
here was an obstacle. Then again,
if the farmers who had been furnish
ing tomatoes, refused to raise them
for SjO.OO, there would be many who
had not been raising them that would
be induced by the packers to do so.
Still there is one thing in their favor,
and that was, the experienced tomato
growers could produce a better article
than farmers who had not been used
to raising them. The outcome of the
matter will be awaited with consider
able interest.
30th Wedding Anniversary.
Lust Thursday ended the thirty-sixth
year of the wedded life of Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Prichard, one of the most re
spected couples in Port Norris. It was
thought by their friends to be a
most fitting occasion for a celebra
tion, and as a consequence, in the eve
ning the following persons repaired to
the house and greatly surprised Mrs.
Prichard, her husband having known
of the affair previouslyMr. and Mrs,
Charles Peace, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Lee, Mr. and Mrs HoHinger, Mr. and
Mrs. G. C. Andrews, Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Hand, Mr. and
Mrs. John McConnell, Mr. and Mrs.
R. W. Chamberland, Mrs. William
Hrunyate, Mrs. Jacob Liber. Mrs. Con
Hand, Mrs. James Morris, Mrs. Ellis
Hand, Jr., Miss Sallie Bnckmaster,
Miss Lilliau Howard.
During the evening, after the friends
had tendered their congratulations to
the couple, g nue* were irdulgc-i ;• ', /
the youug folks, aud it may be said
that some of the older ones were not
slow about joining in the sport. The
merriment continued until a late hour,
when refreshments were served, after
which the company dispersed, wishing
Mr. and Mrs. Prichard many more
years of happiness.
Rascally Tramps
Last Friday afternoon a number of
tramps were out in the vicinity of
East Lake and made it decidedly un
pleasant for the neighborhood. One
burly fellow went to the home of Mr.
i Jacob Kauffman, on Coral avenue,
and asked Mrs. Kauffman for some
thing to eat. She said she had noth
ing for them but bread and butter,
and to this the good-for nothing rascal
replied "D-it! ain’t you got any
tiling better than that?” and he then
made an effort to get hold of her arm,
but she quickly slammed the door in
his face and locked it. The door
caught the villian’s arm and hurt him
slightly, and he called out “D-you,
I wilt get even with you for that.”
Later, tile lady was up stairs dressing,
and w ithout warning a stone as large
as a man’s fist crashed through the
window and fell at her feet. Looking
out she saw the inhuman devil stand
ing near by, and it was he who had
thrown the missile. Pity it is that a
whipping post lias not been established
in this city for the punishment of such
offenders.
The gossips of quiet Haddonfield,
(he pretty Jersey village on the line of
the Camilen and Atlantic, have some
thing strange to talk about nowadays,
for a highly sensational plague seems
to have seized the dogs of the village
and the adjoining country.
The quiet townspeople have been
not a little startled by the alarming
prevalence of rabies, and it is a sorry
act for the canine which happens to
snap or snarl or show a little foam on
his te°lh. The reports thus far re
ceived from ttie front bear tidings of
seven dead dogs in Haddonfield and
four in Marltoh. Next Wednesday the
borough commissioners of Haddonfield
meet, unless the condition of affairs
becomes so serious as to warrant a
special meeting, and a proclamation
will be posted, setting forth that every
dog within the boundaries of .the
village must be muzzled or lied up.

Visited Poultry Farms.
Last week Phillip E. Souders and
George Douglass of this city, visited
Hammonton, to go over the famous
Broiler Farms. The visit they speak
of as most agreeable and interesting.
They were pleasantly received by the
poultry raisers and courteously shown
over the large farms. They fust
visited the farm of Major Jordan,
Secretary of the Hammonton Associa
tion. He is a large exporter of all
kinds of Dorkings and an authority.
Then they called upon P. H. Jacobs,
editor of the Poultry Keeucr, and
| known to poultry raisers the country
i over as tbe the “great Ainericau kick
er." At the last oonventiou of poultry
raisers of the country he made himself
famous hy his kicking over difficult
points which were advantageous to
fanciers. The editor takes a great
interest in rite South Jersey Poultry
Association, is a member and at hist
meeting was elected Vice President.
The farm of E. 0. Howe was next
visited. Tne gentleman had 2,000
young chi kens upon his farm and
3,000 eggs in his incubators. One in
cubator alone contained over 1,000
eggs. He is one of the most success
full broiler raisers in this section of
country. The farm of C. C. Sellars
was also visited. Both Mr. Douglass
and Mr. Souder speak of the trip as a
| profitable one to them.
