term of Court for an assault on Benjamin
Baker and John Crider, but ran away

Watson when arrested for the first charge
he will be. tried on four indictments and

A Trenton scoundreI.

A Trenton ScOundrel.
On Saturday, John Lacy of Kinkora,
went to Trenton on business and two
brothers named Tracy, aged respectively
IL and IA years, getting off at the station
at the same time with Lacy, walked into
Trenton with him. Stopping at 1otel
on Broad street, Lacy asked the boys to
take drink of sarsaparilla, bnt the man
who was behind the bar said he did not
have any but would give them something
equally as good. He then placed three
bsr glasses on the bar and poured the
contents of bottle in the glasses. The
boys drank some of the liquid and Lacy
took four swallows when he says he dis
covered it to be apple whisky and told
the boys not to drink any more. The
three then walked short distance further
when the two boys became sick at their
stomachs and became SO drunk that they
had to be placed in wagon and taken to
the police station. A physician was cal
led in who prescribed for them, and for
awhile the youngest boys life was dispair-
ed Of. After lying down for a long time
the boys recovered sufficiently to be taken
home by their father, who had been tele-
graphed to. Strange to say neither Lacy
or the two boys can remember the hotel
where they stopped. 1t is a great pity
that they cannot as a man that would sell
whisky to two boys of that age should lie
prosecuted to the full extent of the law,
and also have his license taken away from
him.

Base Ball.
Between 500 and 600 people assembled
at the Burlington ball grounds on Sat
urday to witness game between the Bur
lington and Merritt mines, but trouble &C.
CURED before the toss for position was
made in the matter of the umpire, and
which resulted in the Merits leaving the
grounds and refusing to return and play
the game. The Merritts selected Charles
Odlington of Camden as umpire, and he
having proven unsatisfactory in his de-
cisions in other games and it also being
limited that he had money staked on the
result, the Burlington manager refused 10
play unless another man was chosen
This the Merritts refused to allow. The
manager saying positively that Odlington
must umpire the game throughout or they
would not play. Neither side relenting
the Merits left the ground as above
stated and the audience passed out and
received their entl ance fee. The blame
it seems to US rests with both clubs alike,
and however the supposed game may be
decided by authority of "the powers that
be" it really should be called entirely
of" Burlington men had fully $1,000
staked on the game and the slightest sus-
picion of anything wrong of course caused
them to use their influence to avert it.
The whole affair was babyish farce and
reflects much discredit on both clubs
The large audience, while sorely disap-
pointed and chagrined made no disturb
ance and departed from the grounds in a
quiet and orderly manner.
On Saturday the Printers and Actives
played match which resulted in draw
game as the latter club left the field be-
fore the last innings was finished, the
score then standing twenty-six runs on
both sides. The Actives no doubt would
have been beaten had they played until
the game was finished.
The Burlington base ball club again
played the part of buffers at Burlington
on Saturday, and disappointed about 800
people who had assembled to witness the
game with the Merritts of Camden be-
cause they were not allowed to name
the umpire. The manager of the Bur-
lingtons should put more soda in his cock
tails = Trenton Emporium.
On the Fourth the old base ballists of
Mount Holly will have match on the

fifty runs will be scored on both sides:

The Dog Law.
If anybody is attacked on the highway
by dog the party has right to kill the
dog, and the owner can be held account
able for any injury inflicted by the ami
NAL. Even on the premises of the owner
of dog should party be attacked and
injured after endeavoring to protect HIM
self, the owner can be made responsible
for damages inflicted, provided it can be
shown that at the time he was in pursuit
Of business or on friendly visit. If
dog by barking at passing horses and We
hicles occasions any damage, the owner
is liable for the loss sustained. Thus the

ton for loss or injury caused by dogs.
