We clip the following article con-
corning a former resident Of Mount
Holly, from the Harrisburg Mdepen-
dent
On the 2lst of August, 1882, there
was established in Harrisburg new
business house which must eventually
tend toward the development of other
wholesale establishments in our midst.
We refer to the wholesale grocery and
foreign and domestic fruit and COM
mission house of W. L. Powell & Co.,
at Nos. IL and Is Market Square,
where a building 15Ox50 feet in ex-
tent is occupied. Fancy groceries,
bananas, oranges, nuts, are carried in
immense quantities and received every
day and sold to the trade at lowest
Philadelphia and New York market
rates. Thoroughly understanding the
business in all its details, (Mr. Pow
ell having for the last ten years rep
resented the house of Selser Bros,
of Philadelphia, on the road,) and
having ample capital to back up their
ripe experience the trade in the CEN
trail part Of Pennsylvania especially
should place their orders with these
gentlemen, as they can furnish goods
with promptness and at as low rates
as any. New York State appeals,
Florida oranges, bananas, &c., are the
specialties.

Coroner's Inquest.

COroner's Inquest.
Coroner Keller and jury of nine
men sat in Hoffoners Hall, Riverside,
on Tuesday last to inquire into the
suspicious death of Sabrina Steward
of Riverside. The hall was crowded
with interested citizens of Delran
township, the deceased after an illness
of several weeks, died on Sunday from
the effects Of an alleged abortion pro-
cured by Mrs. CDR" G. s. letters,
her mother. "Dr." letters was ar
rested on Monday morning and gave
bail in s., 900 to appear before the
Coroner. The jury made the trip to
where the body of Mrs. Stewart lay,
some two miles from Riverside, and
after viewing the remains returned to
hear the evidence Mrs. letters was
first examined and testified substanti-
ally, that her daughter had been sick
some weeks; that she had been to
Philadelphia Immediately prior to her
sickness and there, had nearly been
run over by a wagon, that police
men pulled her from under the wagon
and she tainted away, upon arriving
home she was taken sick and grew
worse until she died. The witness
denied that she had done anything to
cause an abortion in anyway whatever.
Drs. Taylor and Gauutt testified that
they had made post norton exami-
nation of the body of the deceased and
found evidences that might have re-
suited from an attempt at malpractice.

Bishops Arrest.
Constable Bishop of Cinnaminson
came into our sanctum on Tuesday
morning and relieved the mouotony of
our thoughts with some very bolster
GUS language. He said we had pub
lished an article concerning him which
was false and demanded correction.
he was convinced in few words, we
thought, that we had done nothing Of
the kind, and went away apparently
happy. The next day however, an
article Appeared in another paper,
signed by Mr.. Bishop in which he
says the item is untrue. 1t is a waste
Of time and space to deal further
with the matter than to simply state
that the man Brown, who had Bishop
arrested, must have made some charge
or the warrant would not have been
issued for Bishops arrest, and Browns
allegations are just what The News
published and nothing more, and the
article is correct in every particular
and it is impossible to make any cor
rection. An explanation could be
made of Bishops side of the case, but
as he has seen fit to have that done
elsewhere we let the matter drop.
Justice John B. Rightmire on Sat-
urday dismissed the complaint Of Jas.
L. Brown against George Bishop Of
Cinnaminson, charged with embez-
zling money intrusted to Bishop to
pay Browns subscription to the Her
AID. 1t seems that Bishop failed to
see the proprietor Of the Herald on
his first visit to Mount Holly, but
subsequently net Mr.. Stokes Of that
paper aud handed him a county order
for the amount of money alleged to
have been embezzled. The Herald
Of last week contained a statement
that the money was duly paid by
Bishop. Howard Flanders, ESQ.,, re-
presented Bishop at the hearing on
Saturday. Brown swore out another
warrant against Bishop on Saturday,
and he will be arrested on the same
charge again.
