ward Governor Lewelling treated the
whole matter indifferently. 1t was
supper time and all three went to sup
per. Governor Lewelling left his usual
place at the table and sat with Fred
j. Close, his private secretary. After
supper Fitzgerald and Moffit ap-
preached Fred Close and told him of
the statements. Close said: "Sup-
posing it is true, what are you going
to do about it?''
On crOss-examination. Mr.. Coney
repeated his declaration that Nelson
Acres had pulled a roll of bills from
his pockets and said that if anyone
wanted any favors at the Governors
office they must come to him. Mr..
Moffit repeated the remark that an
other man was present when a draft
for 5000 on the American National
bank and 81 800 in cash was paid Mr..
Legate by Kline, and that Fred j.
Close, the Governors private secre-
tary, and Attorney General Little
saw the money turned over.
Other witnesses were examined, all
of whom testified that Doodle was
used but could not swear who got it.
Mr.. Burgard, the Populist represen-
tative from Wyandotte, who declared
himself so anxious to testify, skipped
out when the committee met, and
failed to return. Mr.. Acers and Mr..
Kline also avoid subpoenas, so that
the witnesses who could tell the real
facts cannot be heard. AS it is, while
the charges made by the Capital have
not been clearly proven, they have
not been disprOven, and it has been
made clear that somebody has been
using the Reform trade mark to cloak
some most corrupt practices.

Rev. Mr.. Boswells Farewell.

A large congregation filed the Metho.
dist Church, on Sun day evening, to listen
to the farewell remarks ofthe pastor, Rev.
]. H. Boswell, who will be assigned to a
new pastorate during the coming week by
the Conference which meets here to-mor-
row.
Mr.. Boswell said he was not in the habit
of preaching farewell sermons, but his
theme for discussion was the Cross of
Christ, which he handled in an able man
ner. He said he recognized the fact that
he was about to address his congregation
for the last time, and stated that during
his term of Office in Mount Holly he had
stood at the bedside of thirty-one of his
members who had passed to their home
beyond. He earnestly appealed to all
present to meet him in heaven, and many
of his members were moved to tears. He
gave parting blow to the race track IN
fanny and said the time to remedy this
evil was at the polls next November. He
took occasion to thank all those connect
ed with the church for their uniform kind
ness and assistance rendered him during
the past three years, and particularly
thanked the press of Mount Holly for its
courteous treatment and assistance.
During his pastorate Mr.. Boswell has
done much for the material and spiritual
welfare of the Church. He has been I'M
firing in his crusade against evil, and
has preached many vigorous sermons.
Whatever else may be said of him nobody
can doubt his honesty of purpose and the
fearless manner in which he has express
ed his views on all subjects. His removal
from Mount Holly will be regretted by
large circle of friends, not all of whom
are connected with his own Church.
