MAMIE BISHOPS DEATH.
Her Relatives Indignant at the AS

snecfnl to the Leraen cft Ne,us.

AsBURY PARK. Dec. 20, 1s91.-The in
quest into the death of unfortunate
Mamie Bishop who died und er most sus-
picious circumstances after short Illness
Thanksgiving day, was resumed this
morning.
Miss Bishops brother was present to-
day to testify TO their version of the af-
fair. He said today
1.-The idea of my sister being implicated
in anv affair with a young man is ridicul-
Gus. She never ran around like other
girls, was very much disinclined to go
out evenings with Young men. and, in
fact. ifsshe left the house at all IT. was to
go out riding with other girls or children.
when Mamie came home on Wednes-
day night and made a great outcry about
the pain she was suffering, we all thought
she was shamming and was trying to vex
and worry her mother. Occasionally
she would be taken with spells like that
and make great deal to do about thing,
so when she claimed to be sick we paid
little or no attention to her"
James Logan neighbor, was next
sworn: :" / asked the DOCTOR" said Logan,
what had been the matter with Mamie"
At first he said he was baffled to ascertain
the cause. Afterward he said: oh,
suppose 1t is little cold which she
caught, That is ALL"

The law might be changed so that five
men might compose the Tax Board. These
five men would be appointed by the

me that 1t would be advisable for the
people to elect Tax mmissioners and
then, if they did not act in a manner sat
