chureh Trustees Charged with Con-
SpIracy.


Woodstown is just now on the verge Of
being treated to anotherc case of conspiracy,
the first developments in which were dis
closed on Wednesday, when Charles Rich
man, Uriah Gilman and William Walters,
trustees of the Presbyterian Church, and
Enoeh S. Fogg were arrested on warrants
issued at the instance Of John Holmes,
charged with conspiriDg to cheat and de
fraud him. The warrants were issued by
Justice III. ID. Dickinson, and the defend
ants appeared before him on Wednesday
morning, where they waived a hearing, and
were held ia their own rec0gnizance for
$500 each, for appearance at Court. Israel
=. Nanneman, Charles T. Croft, William
b. Teal, l. Smith Reed, I. W. Iredell and
John Z. Alderman were held in 800 bail
each to appear as witnesses.
The following is the substance Of the re-
markable affidavit on which this charge is
based, the same being worn 10 before NJ.
D. Dickinson, on May 18Th, 1889. The
affidavit first sets forth that the defendants
above mentioned did on tie 25th of June,
1887. sunite, combine, confederate and con-
spire to cheat and defraudn deponent L
of the use, rents, issues and profits of the
property adjoining the Presbyterian church
property on the south. by pretending to
purchase it and making false representa-
ions deliberately, wilfully and malicious
lyn with regard to payment for the same;
that John r. Alderman, president of the
Board of Trustees, bargained FOR the said
property, agreeing to give Holmes $500
for it, $500 in cash, with bond and mort
gage for $1,000, said papers to be executed
and deed taken on March 25, 1887, and
that after being allowed to take possession
Of the property they rented it to |. Z. VAN
neman, but made no efforts to comply with
the contract, that While in possession Of
the same they tried to dieker7 with de-
ponent s'by extorting flom him a reduction
in the price for a present to the church,
that at the request of the defendants an
agreement was made to extend the time for
them to comply TO June %, 1887, and al
though at that time the proper deeds were
placed in their hands they have w~iifully
and maliciouslyn held such deeds, have in
jured the building, have deprived and
robbed deponent of the rents, issues and
profits thereof, have taken and fenced off 4
piece Of the land and added it to the church
lot, and have "wiifally, malieiousiy and
wickedly demanded q reduction of $3.50
from the price, all with intent to cheat and
defraud %depouent'' and have deFrauded him
to the amount of $1,000.
The case will probably be decided at the
coming term of court, provided the Grand
Jury decides the evidence sufficiently strong
to base a charge upon.

E,eeyc FIiieraft,s Dairy Farm.

Among the pleasantest places in this VI
entity for location and surroundings is the
dairy farm and buildings Of Reeve Fit
craft. Situated at the junction of Elm
street and East avenue, an easy half mile
from the centre Of the town, and with
the dwelling looking directly down the last
named thoroughfare, it is a place that
might make the passer by wish for a mo-
meut that he might claim it as bis resi-
denee. But it is not simply as a pleasant
residence that friend Fliteraft utilizes it,
but as also a basis OF operations in the con-
Quoting of his Old established dairy bust
ness which for over fifteen years he has
steadily and successfully carried Oh. He
has recently been making improvements in
the accommodations for his herd Of mich
COWS which are well worth inspection by
those interested. The demands of the
dairy business are such thatsaying of labor
and the comfort and welfare of the herd of
milk producers must be we'll looked after.
and in this particular dairy these points
are down fine. Mr.. Fliteraft 1t present is
milking about sixteen head Of cows, which
while not Of the fancy breeds are sleek,
oomfortable-looking animals and show
signs of excellent care. They are stabbed
ia roomy and convenient stalls and have
been since taken from the pasture lot last
fall. The dry cows are also carefully shell
tered except in pleasant weather when they
are allowed the range of the yard. The
stables are conveniently arranged for feed
ING, being in a large airy basementin which
Tie temperature is kept as nearly as posi-
BILE at a uniform point. On the threshing
floor above is the stock of corn fodder which
is fed to them cut up finely together with
hay aud an allowance of feed according
to the season. In front of the stalls IS a
trough constantly supplied with cool we'll
water and closed up so as to keep out dust
and refuse. There is an opening protected
by a sliding door IN frontof each COW under
the hay rack. These doors are lifted twi ice
a day aud the cattle allowed to drink their
fill Of water, after which they are closed.
Most of the animals learn the trick of wait
ing on themselves when thirsty, and put
ting the top of their noses under the sliding
door will push it up and drink, when
through the door falling back OF It's own
weight. At milking time the mix is
taken directly from the stables into the
pump room aud strained into the cans and
loaded into the delivery wagon, which
stand under shelter at the door, and
Reeves bell is soon heard through the
streets arcusing the sluggards TO procure
their morning supply Of the iacteai nald.
In this room also the cans are washed, and
4 large refrigerator we'll supplied with ice
keeps the surplus milk and cream till
wanted. Everything is neat and clean,
and the cattle themselves show the result
of careful treatment in their sleek coats and
well rounded forms.

The particulars of the sad death by
poisoning of Emma W., daughter of Sher-
man and Ella Corson, OF Sharptown, which
occurred early last Friday morning. and
mention Of which was made in the MoNI-
TOR last week are as follows: At about
seven o'clock on Thursday evening, En-
ma, aged about 4 years, and her little
brother Harry, who was 2 years old that
day. were playing in the front yard of their
home, when one OF the neighbours children
came to the fence and gave Emma a bottle.
Childlike, she took the stopper from the
bottle and took 4 swallow of the contents,
which was afterwards found TO be carbolic
acid, and instantly screamed with pain and
fell to the ground. Little Harry picked
up tie bottle which his sister had dropped
and raised it to his lips, but at this instant
Mrs. Corsen zane running from the house
and caught the bottle before any of the
acid entered his mouth, but he, too, scream
ed with pain from what bad touched his
lips. Mrs. Corson grasped her halfuncon-
scious child, whose screams had aroused
the n~eighbors, and medical aid was sent
for. The news of the occurrence spread
like magic over the little town, and the in
habitants swarmed to the Corson residence
in large numbers. Little Emma became
UNCONSCIOUS and remained so until about
midnight, when she aroused and it was
thought that she would recover, bat later
she dropped into a dose, and passed quietly
away. The funeral services were held
from tile residence ef Jos. D. Whitaker,
uncle of Mrs. CorsoD. in P~ennsgrove, on
Monday afternoon.

The people of Toms River are very much
worried over a large building filed with ex-
plosives located about q mile and a half from
the town. When the standard Explosive Conn
rany vacated their works they left behind,
stored in magazine, about sixty thousand
pounds of dynamite. The explosion of this
would shatter the whole town. Forest fires
are very frequentia this locality and might
at any time set lire to the dynamite stored in
the building. Again, there is danger from
lightning striking the magazine. Prosecutor
Middleton, of Ocean County, has been APP
peaIed to, and 1t is probable That he will take
immediate action looking toward the removal
of the explosives.

The season has now arrived when the
travelling fakir gets in his work. We see
by cur exchanges that they are visiting va
rious places in our State. One opened
business in Milford a few days ago and Of
fered for sale a tooth powder for which he
charged 81 a bottle. BY a deceptive mani-
pulation of the wrappers surrounding the
bottles he succeeded in leading several per-
sons of the crowd to believe a IS note was
enclosed therein and they readily invested
their dollars in the fakir's game.

Asparagus season is at hand. To keep
asparagus bright and crisp ~housekeepers

condition for several days.

The outlook for farmers was probably
never more flattering at this season Of the
year than now. Corn is generally planted
and coming up better than usual. The
prospect for wheat and grass is excellent
and the general opinion seems to be that
our people may at least hope for a paying
season. We sincerely trust that this hope
will be more than realized, as there is no
class of toilers who deserve better pay for
their services than do the farmers of this
section.
