Murdered by Kidnappers.

SAN Francisco, May A Tucson,
Ariz., dispatch gives an account of a terri
BILE tragedy which occurred at Taraton,
Mexico. The seven-year-Old son of a
wealthy resident named Lopez was kid
mapped, and the father notified that the child
would be killed if 5000 ransom was
not deposited at certain place within
two days. By accident the note to the
father was not delivered till too late to
negotiate with the criminals. At the ex-
piration of the second day the father found
the body of his child in his courtyard hor-
ribly mutilated. The twelve-year-old sis
ter on seeing her brothers corpse fell dead.
The father became raving maniac. The
perpetrators are being looked for and if
caught will be lynched.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, May 4.-The line is still
down between Humboldt and Clarke's Cross
ing and there is much speculation as to the
cause of it's remaining down so long. Re-
pairers left Humboldt Saturday to look for
the break and nothing has since been heard
of them. Private dispatches brought
by courier to Humboldt and
telegraphed from there to-day are dated,

has moved some four miles from Fish Creek.
1t is known that the steamer Northcote
was fioated on Saturday, and it is supposed
that she has reached Clarke's Crossing long
before this time. The water is constantly
rising in the river, which will admit of the
steamer being used to convey supplies.

to rearrange them so that Yankton and Bis

one regiment be composed of companies

Mr.. Geo. T. Lippincott, of Philadelphia,
has been in Woodstown for some days, his
business being to interest II people in the
project of starting a shoe factory. a meet
ing of citizens was called and assembled in
McAllister's Hall last Wednesday evening
to consider the subject. The meeting was
well attended. J. X. Riley was elected
chairman and Chas. f. Pancoast secretary,
after which Mr.. Lippincott was introduced
and stated briefly the plan of organization,
amount of capital required, the nature OF
the business and the kind of labor employ
ed. 1900 of the amount of capital (S25,-
000) was reported as having been pledged,
and a committee of four was appointed to
solicit subscriptions to the stock Of a COM
pany to be organized to carry on the bust
ness. The meeting adjourned to next We'd
nesday night at McAllister's Hall, at which
time the committee will doubtless be able
to report progress, and the probability of
success can be determined.
In a conversation with Mr.. Lippincott on
Thursday morning he spoke of the out
look as encouraging, and said that so far
as he could learn about $13, 900 might
safely be counted on as already secured for
the enterprise. The plan of organization
contemplates the issuing of $50 shares of
the par value of 500. and a plant with
a capacity for about 900 pairs OF shoes per
day, which will require a building about
30xS0 feet in size and three stories high,
and furnish employment to from no to
125 hands. All the work will be done III
the building.

The school Meeting.

The meeting called by the Trustees of
Woodstown School District to consider the
question of purchasing additional ground
and moving the school building, was held
pursuant to notice last Monday evening,
and largely attended. Joseph X. Riley,
was elected chairman, and George NJ. An
drews secretary, after which Mr.. Andrews,
the District Clerk, read the call for the
meeting and stated the plan of purchase
and removal submitted by the Trustees, his
remarks being illustrated by a diagram
and figures on the board. and embodying
at length the arguments in favor of the
change. A series of resolutions were then
submitted authorizing the Trustees to pur-
chase the ground on Dickinson street, sell
the front lot now occupied by the school
house, and move and alter the school build
ing, providing for payment by the issue of
three bonds of $500 each, due in one, two
and three years respectively. The resolu-
lions We're received and on motion were
considered separately. A motion to vote
by ballot was made and carried. but OBJ
lection being made that to vote by ballot
would require too much time, it was or
dered that the vote be taken by uplitted
hands. The first resolution, authorizing
the purchase of the Dickinson street lot,
was then put to vote, and declared lost by
a vote of AZ to "a. As the whole plan of
removal and building depended upon the
purchase of this land, the other resolutions
were not voted upon, II a motion to adj
journ being made, was carried.

Almost every day we are told by some
one of our advertisers that it pays them
good return for their advertisements in the
MONITOR. People who exchange their
money at the rum mills for blue ruin don't
take the paper, but it circulates and is read
largely by a class that are sober and indus
trious, therefore they are able to supply
all their needful wants and wise enough
to pay cash for them. Try a few lines, if
no more-you may be surprised at the re-
suit.
A new time table will go into effect on
the West Jersey Railroad to morrow, when
an additional number of trains will be
placed on that road between Philadelphia

Great pains are being taken to arrange the

season patrons of these roads. The trains
now on the roads have been running full,
and the company has determined to antici-
pate the demand for more by supplying
them tomorrow.

The CeiIar-Way Suit.

As court draws near interest in the pend
ing suit for the land occupied by the cellar
way, on the corner of East Avenue and
Main street, is renewed. The case will
probably be tried at the approaching May
term of the Salem circuit. On Wednesday
afternoon Lawyer Sinnickson, representing
the Borough Council, with Surveyor Nor
rison, came up from Salem and made an
other survey of the locus IN quo, with what
result will probably appear in due season.
If the metes and bounds, courses and dis
tances of East Avenue and the territory
thereunto adjacent are not clearly defined
by this time it is from no lack of surveyors
to determine them. The roadway bristles
with spikes and bolts driven down as mon
uments. and four or five centuries hence,
after two or three terrestrial commissions
have turned Woodstown upside down, some
future inhabitant may find traces of iron
ore where the cellar way railing and the
monuments aforesaid have been fused to-
gether by volcanic fires. The usual collec-
ton will now be taken up.

n TO Death.

About two o'clock on Saturday morn
ing last the little frame house in Madden
town, this county, in which Henry Clark,
an aged colored man lived, was burned to
the ground, and the inmate being unable
to escape was burned to death. Clark had
been an invalid for some time, living
alone in the house. and it is supposed that
in some manner he upset the lamp. and
was unable to get out of the reach of the
flames. His cries were heard by a neigh
Dor, but before assistance could be secured
the roo had fallen in, burying Clark in the
burning cmbers. After the fire was ex-
tinguished, the body of the deceased was
found lying near where the bed stood, but
the head. both arms and one leg had been
entirely burned off. Coroner Mcdonnell.
of this city, was summoned. who viewed
the remains, but deemed an inquest unnec-
essary.-SaRddrd.
