GLOUCESTER CITY, The Catholic fair which has been la progress here for some weeks, closed last night. The attendance throughout has been large and the profits satisfactory to the managers. Joseph Baird and Chas. Schmitt, the men 1 who were recently arrested in this city, on suspicion of having robbed Mr. Samuel Heritage of turkeys, have been tried and convicted and each sentenced to three months' imprisonments 4 Newton creek wagon bridge has been examined by experts and pronounced un aafe.

It will be repaired immediately. Mr. Tbomai Wilson, the contractor, and a small army of workmen are busy paving and Macadamizing Broadway, below Newton creek bridge. Should tbe weather favorable the work will scon be John Brautigan, who for a number years has acted as Gloucester City reporter for the Philadelphia Ledget and West Jersey Press, Camden, has given np these positions to act as a Philadelphia reporter on the former paper. There were teveral applications for tav era licersss handed In to the City Clerk previous to the last meeting of City cu, dui tne license uorrmlitee tooK no action upon them and they did not come before Council for action.

What their fate would have been had they baen Drought up is conjectural. Whilo some Councilmen would have favored action, others, and it is believed a majority, are known to object to action upon tavern licenses until the duty of Council to do so has been more clearly settled.

Jueantlme the friends of license are active and im portunate, and members are being button holed to induce them to take up the ap plications which have been and may be presented, but a majority are firmly p- posed to it, and it is improbable that they will be bulldozed Into action against their better Judgment.

The want of success in thid line bat suggested to the advocates of action, tbe obtaining of a mandamus compelling Council to act in the matter. The members opposed to tbe considera tion cftheappikations-at-tbistime-are not therefore to be classed as appoueuts to Hcensexh.utobjectii!ecaniclbeyoiD.h iieve that it would be legal to grant while the highest Court in the Slate ha the matter under consideration. Yet Ifi may be set down as almost certainthat; if a mandamus were issued and thaUs high ly improbable, any application so forced upon the attention of Council would re ceive its quietus by a heavy adverse vote. A FOREIGN VIEW. What the Torf American has to say about THE STATE ACROSS THE RIVER." The West Jersey and Atlantic Railroad will be thirty-four and a quarter miles long.

B. E. Morris, of Atlantic City, had a broken, leg set once by Dr. Garceion. It wasnt set very well.

The West Jersey and Atlantic City Railroad will havesome of 'Pennsy's" finest rolling stock. The State Treasury's condition enables the authorities to dispense altogether with tbe State tax this year. A Trenton man was told he bad not the courage to sit on a red-hot stove. He had, and did.

There are rumors that Camden and Atlantic will pool tbelr ssues and buy it. A board was recently found stuck oa a tree between Steolmantown and Tucka-hoe, besriog the lead pencil inscription, G.ve us work or you will have more fire." This vouches for the truth of the prejumption tbat Ihe great fin of spring was the woi of an iucendiary. Tbe Trenton Gazette thinks tbe State school funds danger, $49,000 of tbe pro ceeds or tbe sale to the West Line Railroad Company of the lands on the water front at Jersey City, were invested, as are all riparian incomes, for the exclusive benefit of the school fond. Tbe Central Railroad of jfew Jersey claims prior own ership, because it has filled-tbete lands in by dumping adjoining tbeir depot proper ty at Communlpaw. The Gazette thinks this claim absurd, saying "if tote were decided to be the established law of the State, we can think of no such bonanza this side of tbe Comstock lake as ''filling in" the valuable water fronts of our State.

PICKERING INDICTED FOR MURDER. The Grand' Jury adj-mrned yesterday afternoon until to-morrow. It is net likely aftr lot ng to-day, that it will finish Its labor this week.

BROWN CO. These gentlemen, the energetic proprietors of tbe Roc Hall Clothing House, a corner Seventh and Market Philadelphia, are doing; a paying business-pay ipg in many respects. Paying to their customers a well a themselves. Paying to all their employees. They do not believe ia any one-sidedness in tbeir business and therefore evry garment tbey offer to a custonvr, it will assuredly pay that customer to buy.

It ex- lends eastward from the "Delaware to be yond the Camden and Atlantic Railroad nesr the Newton meeting house) and at one time the tides ebbed and flowed to that locality at high water a large expanse of croon d. More than a hundred years ago the Kalghn's who owned the north bank of Line ditch and the Mlckles who owned on the south drained the swamps by constructing a bank across the western end along the Delaware. Thus converted.

into a land, has remained with -many-pools of- stagnant water and the fruitful generator of mlas matic diseases. The surface is several feet below high water mark, and in view of the cheapness of higher and drier land has been in little request. To what use It could be-profltably- put- bas-until-lately been a puzzle. At one time it was con templated to open the mouth cf the creek, deepen the channel, so that vessels could ascend, as they once did, whaf the banks, and make It the scene of maritime traffic. This idea is to be carried out with ad- ditlons, if rumors be true.

--The rumors are to the effect," that a company with a large capital, design purchasing and filling up the ground, west of Broadway, open, deepen and widen the channel, so as to admit the passage of boats of considerable tonnage, and along the banks erect a nnm ber cf factories. Inquires have been made as to the prices asked, by the several owners for the ground, and if these do not stand in their own light, by asking too much, the enterprise is likely to be carried out and this home of mosquitoes and chills, converted into a scene of busy industry, giving employment to thousands and largely entencing the value of contiguous properties, if however, a spirit of creed on the part of the owners should prevail, such thirty years agodroveDavilS.Brown frem Kaighn's Point, to Gloucester, then these capitalist will take their money elsewhere and the Eighth ward will remain isolated from the rest of Camden by a swamp. OUR SEWERAGE SYSTEM. The question of a more efficient drainage system bas long been. discussed by those whose duty it is to attend to such matteis.

Culverts have been constructed in localities where the grade was such that they have not performed the duty that toey were expected to, and because or an insamcient number cf outlets some of the culverts have become filled up with sediment, and frequently rendered use less therefrom. 'A City Sorveyo Sanitate trying, to reno vate the sewerage system, and so far as he has progressed good has resulted. As an instance. All the territory south of Tay loi' avenue and east of Fifth" street was formely drained by the Hartnun street change was made by making an outlet at the foot of "Bansoni street. Now the water runs unobstructed, while before it was frequently stopped because some of the culverts were filled np with sediment.

The Benson culvert drains an area of one-fourth of a square mile- Sewerage 'map', giving the location of culverts, man boles and the course the water takes before it reaches the outlets, are being prepared by the City Surveyor. The maps will be five In number. They will be invaluable as works of reference. REVISION OF THE RULES The committee appointed by Wm.

GRAND COMMUNICATION. The Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge F. M. of N. J.

will hi held In Trenton next week', commenclnj on Rev. Dr. fi. LI Magoon, has been having a sharp controversy with the Baptist Conference at Philadelphia. He had been censured by the conference for using a crc for a decoration for bis church steeple and for invttirg the Rev.

Charxh-cey Giles, of the New Jerusalem Church, to his pulpit. In his remarks before the conference on Monday, Dr. Magoon said From tlie eleventh to the sixteenth cen-T tnry there never was ererted a Gothic building which did.not have A cross for itt final. The cress, the of Cbris- trinity, isbellase ind every part of it. Thr'cocrractwasnbartbenipirenihoold terminate in a Latin crosa of copper, cov ered with gold.

With regard to the matter of Chauncy Giles, it is known that he was refused Association Hall to lecture in because be did 4iot belong to- an van- ge'icai deuomination. -1 bad read some with him. Hs writings are beautiful, and it would do some of yon good to read tqem. I found Mr. Giles? address, and went to see him.

I told him my pal-pit was athis service. He preached an excellent sermon, and by tho consent of tho trustees, preached again thenext Sun- -day evening, after which he secured a hall. The next thing I knew ab-mt the matter was the report in the National Baptist, calling me to account. Dropping on his knees, Dr Maeoon re peated slowly and distinctly the Lord's myer, after which be rose, and sayina "Brethren, permit me to wish you all a happy, a very Hsppy New Year, and now farewell," he left the room, To a Philadelphia reporter Dr. Mieoou said: "That my church or I should be" bound by the action of this conference, which meets at it own caprice and possesses no legal basis, Js absurd, JJhaye jerked forty yeariin the ministry, randl never: felt so happy with any congregation as with the present my congregation is very intelligent and sympathizes with me in every detail.

I consider that I did my duty in regard to Mr.Giles preaching in our church. I have struck a blow at the petty bigotry and despicable narrow-mindedness of the conference, which presumes to criticise matters foreign to Its donuin. Why, I might pick up at random fifty men off Bread street, and their decision upon my private affairs would be as weighty and as valuable a that of the self constituted 'edges who listened to-day to my I had printed privately 500 copies cf a reply to the conference, which, bad they uvtuuiLui.tcuj yum uiiq uemm miXm sensation, but I modified my determination and burnt every copy but one, which I have retained as a souvenir." RAILROAD NOTES. Mt. Holly Mirror.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have commenced important improvements on riverfront of their property in Cam- den, which will be of great advantage to the business interests or. tbe public. It is their purpose to build a wharf 50 feet wide and 800 feet long, at tbe foot of Benson over which ki elevated railroad la to be erected 20 feet in height, with proper shates and other conveniences for loading vessels with coal directly from the can brought from the Lehigh Valley by way cf Trenton. For some time past the company have been making plans for remodel- ng tbeir present depot and yard In Cam den, and the work is now- fairly nnder wayliefyre fioai completion there will be handsome and commodious passenger de-po's erected la place the present sheds. Tbe West Jersey lUJroad Company, which will furnish tlie roltirg stock to tbe West Jersey and Atlantic Ka.lroad, ave ordered six new aud fli st ciaas paisengfr ocomotiTta, a.d onwarila ot forty, first- class pas lerger cars for the new road.

It ia thought that the road will be readyjor nse by tbe middle of May.lFive express trains (through in vO minutes), two accommodation, one excursion and one freight trln, Willi be Jnn between Camden and Atlantic City during the Summer months. The will be laid with heavy steel rails th entire distance. Tbe West Jersey Railroad Company design running one more express train to Caps May tbe coming Summer than was run last season. Tbe proposed new road to Cape May by the Camden Atlanta Company is not in so forward a condition as their West Jersey competitor, hot Inter eated parties claim tbat it will, surely be built. Officers of the Camden and Atlantic R.

R. have stated within a few days that they mean to build the proposed new road betweem Medford and Uadconneld, and tbat it will be completed during the current year, probably in time for Summer business The line from. Merlton to Haddontiald is to be located this week. We have not thought this road of vital importance to Medford, bat it is certainly a very desirable enterprise for tbe people on the route below that point. Should tbe road be built it will also, make a desirable connection with the county town from the Evesham district tiat Medford.

Whiist the new road would divert some tiavel from the Pennsylvania road, it, I probable that it would add to the business of the Mount Holly and Medford mad quite as much as it would take away from it. We. are also assured by a gentleman active lathe movement that enough stock has been subscribed along the route to ensure the success of the road and that operations will be commenced at once. The organization of the, company will be completed in a few days, and tbe ntcessary papers filed with the Secretary of State. It is further intimated that the road may be extended to Mt.

Holly, with a view to diverting business to Philadel-phja by that route. 13 AND 18 FEDERAL ST. Try Fren-h Beeves, Patent Prows Mitmesota i iour. In the market. fivpericr to aiythlcg MT, EPHRAIM.
