ninety dollars. purporting to be signed by
Charles Seeker Blackman Immediately
left and went to his fathers at Somers
Point. n. j. Mr.. Fox had the note dis
counted at Woodstown bank, supposing it
to be all right, but very soon it was dis
covered that Sickler's name was forged.
Mr.. Fox swore out a warrant for Blaekman
and started for Somers Point where he
found him and, being willing to give up
the team. the warrant was not served. The
bank directors, however, gave orders that
Blackman should be arrested and sent
special officer after him, accompanied by
their attorney, but he had flown. Two
or three clues were obtained as to his
whereabouts and followed up to Burling-
ton and Philadelphia but without success
and the matter was allowed to rest, in
hopes that he would. after the affair had
blown over return to Atlantic county,
which he did a week or two since. and
constable Samson, of Linwood, with
whom warrant had been left, arrested
him and brought him to Woodstown ON
Friday last. He was given hearing before
Justice Holmes at which he acknowledged
his otiense and was committed to Jail to
await the action of the grand jury at the
next term of Court

prophesying for that devoted city worse

lions.
Mrs. Whitsell, alias Fox, alias Fogg,
was arrested on Monday and lodged in Sa-
lem Jail on complaint of James J. Red
streake charging her with passing upon

notes, which were afterward discovered to
be forgeries.

The Temperance Picnic.

On Wednesday of last week the picnic
that was announced would be given by
the W. c. r. L. of Harrisonville and the
Good Templars and Prohibition League of
the same place came off in Cedar Grove,
near the residence of Hope Moore. near
Mullica Hill. The day was pleasant for a
soiourn in the woods and after bountlful
dinner had been provided for those pres
ent the exercises of the day were COM
menced. The gathering was called to
order by Rev. Mr.. Hancock. of Harrison
vile, and led in prayer by the Rev. L. T..
Dugan, pastor of the Mullica Hill NJ. +.
church. Aftermusic from the llarrisonville
Cornet Band, which, by the way, contrib
uted no small amount toward the pleasure
of the day, the speaker of the afternoon,
Rev. J. r. Westwoea, of Millville was in
troduced He made his first point in re
ferring to the instability of the speaker 5
plal form which had been erected and said
he hoped The platform of the Prohibition
party was stronger and more enduring than
the one he stood on. The speaker said he
was willing to accord to every one the same
privilege he wished to enjoy himself, that
of having ones own opinion, buthe wished
it to be understood that he was an out
and-out prohibitionist, now and forever.
To his view there Were, at the present time
three great evils-mormonism. illiteraey
and rum. There is to-day over 100000
persons employed in the manufacture and
sale of rum in this country of ours and
although there are SO many, who, said the
speaker. ever saw runseller weep over
the ruined life Of one of his customers.
He denounced the traffic as the great
hinderance to the Gospel and for the bad in
fluence it had in the old political parties.
He proved the great necessity for the third
party movement and predicted that soon
there would be but two parties-for rum
and against it, The discourse was very
able one and was listened to very atten-
lively by about 400 persons.

The Bridgeton mail train, bound north
on the West Jersey Railroad, met with an
accident Monday morning at Glassboro
through an open switch The train was
running at a fair rate of speed approach
ing the curve Just below the depot, when
Engineer Schenck noticed that the switch
on freight siding was open. He instant
ly reversed his engine and applied the air
brakes. but finding that the locomotive
would crash into some freight cars which
were on the siding, both he and his fireman
Jumped from the cab before the locomo-
tive collided with chopper gondola
which was near the end of the siding. The
train was running very slow, but the force
of the collision telescoped the gondola into
box car, partly demolishing it, and caus-
ing slight jar to the passengers. none OF
whom were hurt, however. Engineer
Schenck remained close to the locomotive
when the collision took place. and almost
Immediately jumped into the cab again
and assumed charge of the train. The
pilot of the locomotive and the framework
were slightly damaged and one box car was
wrecked The switch was left open, it is
said, by one of the crew of an early train,
after doing some drilling.

woodstown victorious.

The match game of base ball played on
Wednesday between the Woodstown and
Tioga clubs at the grounds of the latter
club in Philadelphia, resulted in victory
for the Woodstown club, the score stand
ing Woodstown ~, Tioga 3.
Only six innings were played by our
nine, while the Tioga's were allowed seven.
Crowley pitched very good game,
striking out ten men, and was we'll sup
ported by the rest of the club, in the field
and on the bases. The feature of the
game was the heavy batting OF our nine,
while the Tioga's were unable to solve
Crowley's delivery. The base running of
the Woodstown boys was said by the
Tioga club to be the most daring that had
been seen on the grounds this season
Crowley was well supported by Malholm
behind the bat, and both deserve much
credit for their help in keeping down the
Tiogas score. We give the score in detail

Manufacturers Moving To Jersey.

The stockholders of the Philadelphia
Shoe Manufacturing Company held a meet
ing at their old factory, i'll Philadelphia
last week. They have been operating
one factory in Washington, this state,
and the object of the meeting was
to act upon resolution adopted by the
board of directors in June, to build a
large factory near their present establish
ment in Washington. The company has
been frequently seriously embarrassed in
busy seasons by numerous strikes all /
other labor troubles among the operators,
and it was to avoid this that the removal
was suggested. After the resolution had
been fully explained, and the advantage of
locating in Washington described, vote
was taken, which resulted in its adoption
by a vote of 2S5 to 8. The factory is to be
one of the largest in the country, and will
accommodate about 900 operatives. Work
upon it will be Immediately pushed and it
is expected to be ready in time for the fall
trade. The office of the company was re-
moved from so North Fourth street to

ton had been ratified.

els Asbury" as legible as If written yester-
day. 1t reads as follows:
''KNOW all Men by these Presents,
