THE renomination of John Gardner for Congress by the Republicans of the Second District is well. The unanimity and enthusiasm which marked the proceedings of the nominating body was an encouraging demonstration and hopeful sign that the people of the Second District recognize that it is their duty to the nation to retain a good and able man in the National Legislature. SERVED HIM RIGHT. The women in the Ashland Congressional District in Kentucky have done themselves great honor in compassing the defeat of Colonel Breckinridge, who, utterly unabashed and impervious to shame, had the audacity to seek, and has been moving Earth and Sheol to secure a renomination as candidate for the people's representative in Congress. We say the women, for though they had large and enthusiastic help from the male sex, the majority against him being only five hundred, shows that but for the women he would have triumphed, to the disgrace of the State and the shame of the country. We are constrained to admit that not all the women were found in opposition to the general's aspirations; but his female adherents were compelled to work more covertly lest they proclaim themselves as belonging to a class who could be appropriately represented by a libertine. The filth of this scandal of Colonel Breckinridge has been poured out at the National Capitol, and by the press spread throughout the country; and to have returned him as Representative to Congress, while the stench of this moral filth was still in the nation's nostrils, would have been nothing short of a great calamity. And the people owe a debt of gratitude to the noble, pure, upright mothers and daughters of the old Ashland District who have labored so vigorously and successfully to avert such a disaster and reproach.

Colonel Breckinridge can now enter upon some pursuit where he will be less in the public eye; and if he elects to start a brass foundry he will have

plenty of material on hand to commence business with.

New Jersey’s Judiciary. The commission appointed to prepare amendments to the Constitution of New Jersey, revising the legal and equitable jurisprudence of the State, met at Trenton Thursday morning, and received the report of the committee appointed to put in proper language the substance of the commission's work. The report was taken up by sections for

adoption.

The following are some of the most

important changes: The Court of Errors and Appeals shall consist of a Chief Justice and four Associate Justices, or any four of them. Writs of error to remove final judgments in the Circuit Court and in the inferior Courts of Common Pleas upon all indictments shall be returned directly to the Court of Errors and Ap-

peals.

All causes heard by the Court of Errors and Appeals shall be decided within sixty days after the close of the argument unless the Court shall extend the time for such decision for a further period not exceeding sixty days. If such decision be not made within said sixty days, or such extended period, either party may put the case on the list for reargument at the next succeeding term, and such case shall have a preference on the list until reargued. The Supreme Court shall consist of nine Justices, which number may be increased by law. Such court shall be arranged by the Justices thereof into three or more divisions. Each division shall have the jurisdiction of the court. Not less than two nor more than four Justices shall hold a division. The sessions of such divisions shall be determined by statute, or in the absence of such statute by said court, but the sessions of only one division shall be held in Trenton. The Circuit Courts shall be held in every county of this State by one or more Justices of the Supreme Court, and shall in all cases within the county, excepting those if a criminal nature, have common law jurisdiction, concurrent with the Supreme Court, and any final judgment of Circuit Court may be docketed in the Supreme Court, and shall operate as a judgment obtained in the Supreme Court from the time of such docketing. Justices of the Court of Errors and Appeals, Justices of the Supreme Court, the Chancellor and Judges of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas shall be nominated by the Governor and appointed by him, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Justices of the Court of Errors and Appeals, the Justices of the Supreme Court, the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor shall hold their offices for the term of seven years.

I am prepared to furnish a first-class red brick guaranteed to withstand the frost or climatic changes, which has no superior in the market at the present time for use in paving. Not only are they a superior article, but the cost is much less than those of other brands now in use in our town.

The Great Mount Holly Fair. Is once more a popular topic of discussion among the people and there is so much favorable comment and such energetic enthusiasm manifested by the management, that it is believed the forty-eighth annual exhibition to be

held next month, will be one of the finest and most successful in the history of the organization. The people are beginning to manifest a worthy pride in the substantial institution that has furnished them instruction so many years. Its motives are unquestioned. It is purely mutual. It has no grasping monopoly or self-seeking corporation, seeking to make big profits and pay dividends upon its stock. It is an educational institution in the truest sense, combining pleasure with profit. The premium list is large and covers all the departments. Besides there are many special premiums offered by business firms. Friday, October 5th, will be Children's Day, when children under twelve years of age will be admitted free. There are to be thirteen trotting events on the last four days. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday there will be bicycle races, the prizes for which will amount in value to over $700. The Pennsylvania Railroad, as usual, will run excursion trains at reduced rates of fare, from all points along their lines. Full information concerning the Fair can be obtained from the catalogue, which can be had on application to Henry I. Budd, Secretary, Mt. Holly.

Reduced Rates to Mount Holly Fair.

The Mount Holly Fair will be held October 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The management have been untiring in their efforts to have this year's exhibition eclipse all previous ones. Besides unusual representations in every department a large number of new and entertaining

features will be presented.

The Pennsylvania Railroad, with its accustomed enterprise, will run a complete schedule of special trains from Philadelphia, Trenton and other points to the Fair grounds, and excursion tickets will be sold on the dates of the Fair, including admission, from all ticket stations on the United Railroads in the State of New Jersey at greartly reduced rates. The rate from Philadelphia and Trenton, including admission, is fixed at $1.00, and proportionate reductions will prevail elsewhere. Advertising matter at the stations will af-

ford specific information.

Shot by An Angry Brother. The Gibbs family (colored) live in the woods just back of Bennett's Station, on the line of the West Jersey Railroad, near Cape May. There are two brothers, Benjamin and Robert, living at present in this humble home with their mother, an honest, industrious woman. On Friday evening the brothers had a quarrel, started by Benjamin. He followed it up by borrowing some ammunition from a neighbor on a pretext of killing game, loaded up an old musket, and then deliberately shot his brother Robert, who is represented as peaceful and inoffensive, as he sat in the Gibbs cottage, holding his child, in the presence of his wife. The load was light, the shot small, or both Robert and his child would have been seriously injured. As it was, however, they were not much hurt, most of the shot going into Robert's legs.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, September 24, 1894.

THE JOHN WANAMAKER STORE is one of the principal sights of the city, occupying a full city block, midway between the Pennsylvania Railroad Station and the Reading Terminal, next to the new City Hall; within three minutes walk of either depot, and conveniently reached from any part of the city or nearby country by the fast trolley lines which transfer direct to the store. This store was begun in 1876 in the old depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad Freight Station. The building is a modest, old-fashioned, finely lighted structure, containing over 15 acres of floor space, all in use for the retail business. The new system of Dry Goods business was originated by the proprietor, who introduced into the United States many new customs, chiefly that of not only inviting, but insisting upon the return of goods that for any reason failed to please. For eighteen years the store has stood staunchly for accurate statements in the press and at its counters. It maintains fixed prices, and its prices have become the standard of value on almost all articles it sells. Why shouldn't it be so, when any article returned in the same order in which it was sold is like a cheque on a bank--met with instant payment of the amount it represents? The store contains fifty-three distinct selling departments, and, as can be easily seen, there is no other stock in the United States at retail so large and complete. The principal departments are:

Silks.

Women's and Children's Dress Goods.

Women's and Children's Dresses and Wraps. Misses' and Children's Millinery.

Linens and Laces.

Gloves, Hosiery and Underwear. Muslin Underwear.

Notions and Trimmings.

White Goods and Embroideries. Carpets and Furniture. Shoes and Hats. China, Silverwear [sic] and Table Cut-

lery.

Toilet Goods and Toys. Books and Stationery. Upholstery and Bedding. Men's and Boys' Clothing. Housefurnishing Goods. Lamps, Clocks and Pictures. The immensity of the store may be better understood by the fact that there are over a hundred aisles passing many hundreds of counters, which, if placed in a straight line, would extend several miles. There are 1882 electric lights for the night service. The pneumatic tube cash service originated here and there are eleven miles of the tubes in use. The highest number of employees at the busiest period of the year has been 5056. Commodious sitting-rooms for men and women, toilet rooms, bureaus of information, places to check packages are all freely placed at the convenience of visitors to the store. No one is ever solicited, much less importuned to buy. The lunch room enables out-of-town visitors to spend the day agreeably and usefully without leaving the building. The enormous business changes the stock of goods rapidly, so that almost every day produces a new and interesting exhibition of merchandise from all parts of the world. It is generally admitted that the largest and best equipped retail establishment in the United States is the John Wanamaker Store. JOHN WANAMAKER.

WOODLAND CEMETERY. A Great Want Supplied. A charter has been recently obtained and a Tract of Land containing thirty acres situate on the south side of the railroad, north of Ocean View station, secured, and has been surveyed and laid out with convenient and tastefully arranged drives and plotted in lots, a plan of which can be seen at the office of Jos. I. Scull, Secretary, Sea Isle City, or Robt. Fisher, Ocean City. All lots are larger than customary size.

The West Jersey Railroad Company has built a large platform, and made Woodland Cemetery a regular stop for all local trains, thus affording a great convenience for funerals to come on the train, either from Ocean City, Sea Isle City or Avalon. The prices of Burial Lots in the Woodland Cemetery are cheaper than in any other first-class cemetery in the county. The Company invite special attention to the numerous advantages offered to purchasers in their grounds. Come in and view them. Nature and art incite inspection and admiration. Now is the time to secure a place of interment in the very best cemetery in South Jersey. We say the VERY BEST. It is so on account of its improvements. The cemetery is highly respectable in the character and class of interments in its grounds; many advantages and inducements concentrate here to attract the living, and on account of elevation it is eminently the best. Besides, it is not embarrassed with debt. It is not exceeded anywhere as a beautiful and final resting place. For further information apply to JOS. I. SCULL, Secretary, Sea Isle City, N. J.
