At special meeting of the Dairy
mems Association of Burlington county
on Monday at Mount Holly, N. j., the
question of submitting to the reduc-
ton to 81 cents per quart, as was de-
cided upon by the Dealers Exchange
in Philadelphia lately, was discussed
at length, and it was unanimously de-
cided not to ship any milk for less than
cents per quart. Communications
were received from other organizations
of milk shippers in Pennsylvania and
Delaware in which they promised to
stand firm and not sell one quart of
milk unless the dealers agree to pay
the price settled upon.

State Prison Keeper Laverty prob
ably will never forget Samuel H. Gray
The short, silver haired man with a
strangely marked face, that short in
dex finger pointing at the witness; the
earnest expression of his face, and es-
pecially the manner in which he has
torn to pieces all the witnesses who
were called by the defence, no one
directly interested in the trial could
forget. He stepped into the case
quietly and unostentatiously when the
managers of the trial were shining
lights, but they have paled before him.
At no time during the trial, however,
has he appeared SO brilliant as when
he stood before DIR. Alfred Lutkins, of
Jersey City, and quietly broke down
all the strength of that witnesses evi-
dence for the defence. 1t is said that
Mr.. Gray has studied medicine; he
certainly knows a great deal more
about the science than the ordinary
lawyer er-NeoUark Nears.
Within the last few years sturgeon
fishing has become quite an industry
on the Delaware river near the bay
A large amount of capital that employs
a small army of men very profitably
for a part of the year is invested in
the business. The companies and the
fishermen engaged have about COM
pleted arrangements for this seasons
work, which opens each year with the
run of shad. Pennsgrove is the head
quarters of the three hundred men
employed in the work, many being
persons of various occupations who
only fish for the season of three
months because it pays them. The
first man said to engage in this stur-
geon fishing business on the Delaware
river was Mr.. Benedict Blohm. who
now lives at Pennsgrove, where he
has amassed quite a fortune. Like
shad, these sturgeon are caught in
gill nets, but they are made stronger,
of 32-cord and have 12-inch meshes.
Between $4,000 and 10000 sturgeon are
annually caught in the Delaware river.
