The news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1882-1891, 1882-08-24

We are informed that a first class quack
calling himself DIR. Porter has lately been
travelling around the country as dem
fist, at the same time gaining livelihood
where possible, at others expense. He
made his residence at Joseph Sykes ho-
tel, Cookstown, but would board from
time to time with parties in the neigh
borhood where he happened to be at work
generally forgetting or neglecting to pay
up. A short time ago Mr. Sykes went to
Clarksburg, Monmouth county, and had
him arrested for obtaining money under
false pretences. The prisoner was taken
to Sykes house, and soon after arrival
there was seized with fits, which lasted
two hours, and were attributed by some
to the excitement following the arrest,
and by the others to intemperance. Mr..
Sykes kept the young man few d avs,
and then, g ave him some money and told
him to clear out, which he soon did. His
victims are said to be many and are in
Burlington aud Monmouth counties. Por-
ter at one time lived on Garden street,
Mount Holly.

Attempted suicide.

Attempted Suicide.
On Thursday morning last Henrietta,
wife of Joshua Willis, aged about 40
years, living on Risdon street cut her
throat with shoemaker's knife making a
terrible cash in it. She had often threat
ened to do it before but no attention was
paid to what she said as she is not con-
sidered altogether in her right mind at
times. On the morning she committed
the act she showed the knife to neigh
Dor and called attention to its sharpness.
Immediately afterwards she went in the
house and drew it across her throat seY-
ering the larynx, and nearly the carotid
arteries. The neighborhood was aroused
and the persons who entered first found
her lying where she had fallen with the
blood flowing in all directions over her.
Physicians were Immediately summoned
and DR.. Darlington arrived at the house
first. He Immediately set to work to
stop the hemorrhage and sew up the
wound, by the time he had accomplished
this Drs. Ashhurst and Brown arrived and
they all agreed thst she would in all
probability live. She is still slowly i'm
proving and if no unforeseen accident oc-
ours will continue to remain in the land
of the living as the Doctors thought the
morning she done the bloody deed.

The Wrightstown Sunday school pic
nicked here on Wednesday and several
others will follow suit at an early date.
The station here is disgrace to the
railroad company and the passengers COM
plain bitterly of the lack Of suitable ac-
commodations.
The Changers picnic, which was billed

count Of unfavorable weather, will take
take place here on Saturday, the 26th
inst. Should the weather be favorable
several Thousand people will be present.
The entertainment given by the guests
on Tuesday evening was very fine affair
and was largely attended. The pro-
gramme consisted Of singing, recitations
and tableaux. The whole was under the
direction of Messrs. Shep g. Young and
Richard S. Ridgway, and too much credit
cannot be given to those gentlemen for
the success attending the entertainment.
The fame of Sullivan and Wilson hav-
ing penetrated these wilds, Charles Miller
and wife made an attempt recently to inn

failed to come to time. Mike Rossell Off

tion on the opposite side of the road,

Base Ball.
The Burlington club defeated the
Trentons on Saturday last at Burlington,
easily, by score of II to 4. On the
second inning the visitors scored 8 runs
through the loose playing of the home
club, but after that inning but single
man of the Trentons was allowed to reach
home plate. The game was umpired in an
impartial manner bv Mr.. Wyckof which
was delightful contrast with the whole
sale robbery of Jack Brady who umpired
the previous game between these clubs.
The Burlingtons visited Atlantic City
on Monday and defeated the crack nine
there by score of to 2. The game
was very exciting and marked by heavy
batting on both sides. The same clubs
were to have played another game Tues
day, but Manager Malone of the Allan
tic City refused to allow his club TO play,
alleging that the rain Of the night pre-
vious had interfered with the ground, a
thin excuse, when it is remembered that
the grounds there are regular sand lots.

longing the Burllngtons and have already
sent an invitation to the Mount Holly

must be extinct as we never hear any

money to purchase their suits.

Another scalp From This Comfy.

Rev. ]. Henry Britain, pastor Of the
Baptist Church, rendered his resignation
to his people last Sunday morning after
Communion service, to take effect Oct. 1st.
Mr.. Britain has received a united and
earnest call from the Fuller Memorial
Baptist Church, of Baltimore, to become
their pastor. This is new church in
the most rapidly growing part of Balti-
more, and offers grand opportunity for
work. 1t is named after the Rev. DR..
Richard Fuller, under whose ministry
Mr.. Britain was converted and baptized.
Mr.. Brittain's pastorate here has lasted
almost ten years, and in that time has
won the respect of all and the affection of
his own people to great degree. In
parting with him the community will
lose gentleman who always labored
for the interest of the town and whose
kindly sympathy will be missed by many
outside of his own church as well as those
in it.-Mooresto,vn Chronicle.

A Petition THAT Meant Business.

A woman living near Mount Holly
Avenue, who wants the Township Com
mittee to forbid goats from running at
large in her neighborhood called at As
SCISSOR Sharp's store on Mount Holly
Avenue on Saturday to ask him what
sort of petition she mnst send in after
telling the nature of it. 8s
"Why you want TO state the case just as
you have stated it to me-" he replied.
But how shall begin?"
"Well, let's see. / believe they usually
start off with: To the Hon. the Town
ship committee"
IT don't believe it." she exclaimed, and
turning te customer, she appealed to
him to decide.
81 am not sure how petition begins"
he said, "but know that it must end up
with, and we should ever pray"
"Not much we won't" growIed the
woman. "After drove of goats has
walked all over my house for the past
year and eaten up three calico dresses,
two sheets and a bed quilt for me, I am
not going to pray to any one, maybe some
one down town knows how to fix it,"
She came down town and the first man
she ran across was Joe King don of the
Mirror and after hearing her statement
he said:
at seems to me thatit should begin
with something like this;
TO your very respectful body and
close with i am your very obedient SER
want but Pm not sure.''
Servant do you suppose I'm doing
nybody's kitchen work."
"No, madam" replied Joe, "but it's the
form you see."
"Well form or no form, Pm not going
to call myself anybody's obedient servant.
I'll write the petition myself" and place
ing the paper against brick wall she
wrote as follows with the stub of lead
pencil. l
'T'm after being bothered to death by
goats, and if you don't pass law to stop
it there'll be devil of row or the Ave
nue., and don't you forget it."
1t is hoped the petition was presented
for the grievance is a just one in the
neighborhood referred to-.

Oar Mount Holly POIygamist No. 1.
| Edward Lippincott. who was arrested
in Phila delphia short time ago, charged
with polygamy, and who claimed Mount
Holly as his place Of nativity, was ar
raigned for trial on Saturday in the
Philadelphia Court of Quarter Sessions,
pleaded guilty, and was sentenced by
Judge Mitchell to an Imprisonment at
solitary confinement in the Eastern Pen
itentiary for two years Judge Mitchell
said in sentencing Lippincott that he did
not see how any sympathy could be felt
for such man, who having married one
wife in 1862 aad knowing her to be alive
deliberately turned right around and
married two other women, regardless of
the first wife's rights. His first conquest
was Miss Caroline Wolf, sister of De-
tective Wolf of Philadelphia, TO whom he
was married by Rev. Andrew Manship,
Methodist divine Of Philadelphia, after
short and happy courtship. They
lived together nearly eight years, when
il is stated by Mrs. Lippincott No. !, he
coolly, but firmly told her, he was tired
of her society and proposed leaving her,
that he intended to marry again and she
might do likewise ii she so desired. He
then took his departure. he again turn
ed up in his connubial career in January
1881, when he was married to Mics
Amanda Fowler by 1 German Reform
Minister, who has since died. He lived
with Mrs. Lippincott No. 2 exactly eight
months, when Miss Rebecca Thompson
crossed his path, and by her personal
beauty and winning ways succeeded in
capturing the gay and festive Edward,
and thoroughly annihilated what little
love there was for Mrs. Lippincott No. q
Lippincott was then united for second
time in marriage by the Rev. Mr.. Man
ship-the minister supposing the former
Mrs. Edward Lippincott to be dead-this
time, to the pretty Miss Thompson with
whom he had been living up to the time
of his arrest. There is record of the
first and third marriages in the Office of
the Register Of the Department of Health
but none of the second marriage and this
is denied by Lippincott. Mrs. Lippin-
colt No. 2, however insists that she was
married to him, and proves her claim on
him by a marriage certificate which she
produces. Lippincott says that he and
his first wife did not live together and
thought he was doing the fair thing by
her, when he told her he had no objection
to her marrying again. Lippincotfs
parents lived at Moorestown, where he
was born, afterwards removing to Mount
Holly, where his father, William Lip
pincott drove stage coach, and then
going 10 Philadelphia, where the family
have since resided. Lippincot is about
forty one years of age and is not by any
means handsome. He has two uncles
living at Bridgeboro'.

The Board then went into secret session

allowed for feeding the prisoners confined
in the jail, and moved that the Board re-
consider their action of the last session.
1t was carried.
Mr.. Morgan then moved an amendment
that the rate be fixed at 80 cents per day
for all prisoners from this meeting of the
Board.
Mr.. Braisiin moved an amendment to

There being no further business the
Board adjourned. S
There was large crowd in attendance
and many made an inspection of the
buildings and grounds after the Board
adjourned. They were unanimous in
their praise of the condition of things and
we can add that of all such institutions
in this country, we will back our aims
house against any for cleanliness and
good order.
1t took some time to satisfy the appe-
titles of the visitors but it was done az
only Steward Gaskill and his wife can do
such things, and all babe them goodbye
on starting for home, thanking them for
the many pleasures of the day.

Tricks of Trnmps.

Tricks of Tramps.
For the past few days a sharp dodge
has been practiced upon the wives of the
citizens of this place by couple of very
willy tramps. The nsodsts operandi is this:
Tramp No. /, bare-headed and minus
hat steps upto residence, rings the front
door bell, and puts on very detected
looking countenance. He inquiries of the
person answering the bell whether the
mistress of the house is in? If the answer
is affirmative he says he'd like to see her.
On that lady appearing the simulated
marks of distress become even greater as
he tells her how he has suffered from the
want Of hat, having lost his while riding
in the cars, and prays the lady to give
him one. The lady, as general things
cannot resist this pitiful tale with the air
Of detection that halos around him, and
she at ouce hunts up the best hat in the
house, not in immediate use, and presents
it to him. The tramp puts the hat on
his head, is profuse in his thanks, and
retires. The door is closed. Tramp No.
] walks around the corner, where he
meets his confederate in the business
tramp No. ITO whom he passes the hat,
and marches bare-headed to the next
house, where the same game is repeated.
In this way many hats are collected in
day, taken to Philadelphia and sold,
bringing moderately good prices. The
tramps have been working the town for
the past two or three days, and if they
continue to gather in hats with the same
success that has already rewarded their
efforts, it is thought they will soon have
"jumbo" corner in hats.
