A case in which no defendant or law
yers appeared, was tried at Mercer court
before Justice Scudder on Thursday, and
verdict was found for the plaintiffs
Charles Koenig and wife, who reside four
miles from Ellisdale, in Monmouth county,
brought suit against Elizabeth Pullen
Southland, OF Jacobstown, for an alleged
defamation of character. Messrs. Can't
made and Temple represented the Koenigs
Gilbert & Atkinson had been retained by
Mrs. Southland, but when they learned
that she had misstated her case to them,
they threw it up. As a consequence the.
defendant did not come to Trenton nor
did she send counsel. The plaintiffs did
not ask for any special amount of damages
Mrs Ella M. Smith, of Trenton, testified
that her IL year old daughter, Carrie, had
been employed at Mrs. Koenigs. Mrs
Smith received letter last August,
signed beth Pullen," which stated that
the Koenigs kept disreputable house
and that her daughter Carrie was being
maltreated there. Mrs. Smith immedi Late
ly took her daughter from the Koenig
house.
The Koenigs were indignant when
shown the letter and claimed that they
did not know who the author of it was.
Mrs. Smith wrote to beth Pnllen,
who called at her house. She had learn
ed that the Koenigs were of good repute
and week known where they resided.
Mrs. Smith said that the woman "Beth
Pullen" did not want her to give the
letter up and she would pay any price
for it.
Mrs Koenig testified that she had lived
at her present home for over twenty
years. Her husband is a shoemaker and
has his shop next to their residence She
took Mrs. Smiths daughter in March
1891. The child remained until last
August. She found out that "Beth
Pullen" was Mrs. Elizabeth 2. Southland
and then called on her. The latter ac-
knowledged writing it. but did not know
why she wrote it. Mrs. Koenig asked
her a second time 'What possessed yor
to do it? Mrs Southland replied "Tht
devil" Mrs. Koening also asked her
"Can you prove those things in tina
letter?p Mrs Southland replied: No" Mrs
Southland wanted the witness to drop thu
} case. as it would cause the defendant
lot of trouble Mrs. Koenig told her tina
! she would at least have a chance to Prov
them and at once began suit for libel.
Justice Scudder then charged the jury
saying that there was no doubt about tn
libelous character Of the letter. He tolC
them that there ought to be verdict TO
damages in some degree as punishment
for such mischief. He also instructe'
them to find a verdict for more than $50
so that it would include the cost of th
suit.
} The jury were out but few minute
when they returned with verdict 70
} 500. The costs of the case will be $50.

I.iobtn,ne,s Havoc.

The steeple of the Baptist church at
Bordentown was struck by lightning on
Thursday night, causing fire which COM
pletely destroyed the interior of the edi-
fee, leaving nothing but the bare walls
standing. The loss on the building and
| furniture is estimated at about $4,000
insured for SIS, 200. The electric fluid. it
is supposed, entered at the lattice work at
the belfry, and, passing down, set fire to
the woodwork inside. This occurred, it
| is thought, about 10 O'Clock, but the fire,
which must have burned slowly for about
two hours, was not discovered until near
midnight, when it broke through. An
alarm was Immediately struck, which was
promptly responded to by the fire COM
panies, but they were handicapped by a
poor water supply, and the steeple contin-
ued to burn fercely for about three-quar-
tiers of an hour, when, with a crash, it
toppled over on the roof Of the building,
on which were number of fremen, who
narrowly escaped injury. In short time
the whole church was mass of roaring
flames, which, fortunately for adjoining
properties, were confined by the heavy
walls.
Finding the means at hand unequal to
the task of subduing the fire, telephone
message was sent to Trenton, asking for
aid. The appeal was promptly respond
ed to, and steam fire engine and hose
cart, with number of Trenton fremen.
were quickly sent there by special train
The immense tank of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, which was near the
scene, was utilized to furnish the water
supply for the steamer, which soon had
the fire under control.
The heavy bell in the tower was burned
from its fastenings and fell with crash.
Part of the contents of the church, chairs,
books, ETC., were rescued from the flames.
Adjoining houses on Prince and Church
streets were considerably damaged by
water, while the furniture belonging to
the occupants, in some cases, was de-
stroyed by the reckless manner in which
it was handled.
The burned structure was a substantial
building and was one of the Oldest
churches in Bordentown, having been
founded in 1852, rebuilt in 1854 and again
rebuilt in 1850. The steeple, which from
the ground to the weather vane measured
$50 feet, was twice before struck by
lightning, but the damage was easily re-
paired. The church will be rebuilt.
A large barn and carriage house belong
ing to John Haines, on Central avenue,
Moorestown, was struck by lightning on
Thursday night and entirely destroyed,
with contents. except live stock and car
riages belonging to II. d. Dougherty, the
tenant The fire department did effec-
tive work, though No. 2 company was
disabled at the start by bursting hose.
A barn at Swedesboro and residence
and barn at Woodstown were also struck
by lightning and entirely destroyed.

If Birch Keeps on

Trying to give away his Broad street
lots, in Burlington, and talking about them
they will become as much of chestnut
as his celebrated carriages and harness
that is what some people say. You do
not find clubs under trees that do not bear
fruit. Some people could not do it. 1t
costs money to advertise lots to give away.
All great achievements had to be talked
about and agitated long time before they
were accomplished. Besides Birch's style
of advertising is good for sick people. A
lady came down this week from the up
per part of the state and purchased car
rage and harness. She said she thought
if Mr.. Birch was giving away building lots
he would sell carriages and harness cheap.
She also said that her husband had been
sick all the spring and he was impatient
every week to get the paper, as it seemed
to do him good to see what Birch had to
say about his celebrated carriages and
harness.
