The people, through the ballot, are supposed to have spokeu. Now It becomes the duty of all, whether dis appointed or not, to uphold the new council In their every effort to make of Camden a better and a cleaner city. Unfortunately, uiaybap, for the common good, I was, an usual on the lotting vide in the coutest. it U? becoming matter of common re* mark that the men whom Captain Scbrock honor* with hie preference are doomed to defeat. That is ae it may be. it is true that many of those for whom I have voted in the past have gone down to defeat, but It doesn't half prove that I was wrong in the casting of my ballot, as many of my once defeated candi dates have risen to place and power. This kind of talk doesn't carry us anywhere, x have merely interjects ed it as a kind of an introductory to what I really want to say to the Incoming council, and to my people. When I say "my people," I mean the entire cltlrenshlp of Camden. In my remarks to follow, I have no *po)<>slee to make to anyone. There la not a man in a thousand who reads them who has an equal right to make them. I am a native of the city ? every property interest j I poasesa Is locked up In it, and ij am sleeping every night in the> same room in which I was born more than a half century ago. Every fiber of my being is intertwined in the inter eete of Camden and its people. Tht being so, l claim a supreme right to ooacfe, to advise, and it may be, to instruct. : :?< 1 There is no more deadly handicap to the progress of a municipality than a non-progressive Mayor and Board of Aldermen, so n slight ref erence to the personnel of the new ly UOlrftnated Mayor and Board of our city may, serve to while away a or ao ot my reader's time.

In other words, we expect him to do his Jfull part towards the mak ing of Camden a city in fact as well as In name. There are side walks to he paved, almost every street in the city should be clayed, or rOrclayed, and in a number . of instances, must be practically rebuilt This will cost snohejr, and, it will be a severe Vest to the man of property In power to have him work and vote, for permanent improvements ef the character mentioned, when he know that such action, if successful, will result In an increased tax levy of fourKto six mills for an Indefinite period of I have faith enough In Dr. Braa-| ington to believe thatvhe will Atand the test. Mr. 8. M. Mathls is the renomlneel from Ward 2. Mathls didn't make a brilliant record in the last coun cil as ah Alderman, but that must not be held to his discredit. He was. an absolutely green luind. and such Usually require about 2 years of service to learn them how. We confidently expect him to bo ideal In the role of councilman during the ensuing ?wo yett*. ^Ve believe he has learned thorough that the firs duty of an Alderman is owed to his w*rd, and that he must serve his people in his ward in preference to a call for service to the wfyole city. | Dr. Robin Zemp, and Mr. M. wooun, tctk Mf mm ?? ww?

The robv bers boarded the train, No. 9, west bound, a lew 'mite# east of Sander eon. The mull and express care and the locomotive were detached from the passenger coaches. Then thu engineer, under cover of the rob bers' gun*, was compelled to run the two or three coachea ahead of the remainder of the train. One of the robbers took the express mes senger, Trousdale, back to the train and kept him under guard, while the other robber covered the crew In the cars ahead and started to rifle the safe and express boxes. Troufedale Is said to have employ ed the old ruse of signaling to a& Imaginary peiiion back of' his captor When the robber turned Trousdale grasped a mallet and before the highwayman could shoot, dashed ou hie brain*. Then, arming himself with the dead man's gun, Trousdale waited for the return of the other bandit. Alter he had rifled tbe express box, the- second highway man came back to the coaches.* Step plug from cover, Trousdale killed him. All of (tbe stolen property w^s recovered and the train proceeded.
