returned from the Worlds Fair.

speak on the subject of road from Ewes

ly on Sunday. He was born in Philadel-
phia November IS, 1927. During the late
rebellion Mr.. Flanagan was one of the
originators of the volunteer refreshment
saloon, located at Washington avenue
wharf, Philadelphia, and, as member Of

every work that had for its object
the comfort of the soldiers pass
ing through Philadelphia on their way to
the seat of war. He was always present
at the refreshment saloon on the arrival
of troops, assisting in supplying them
with substantial meals. His time was

ment of the danger was taken away.
That the disease did not spread speaks
volumes for the natural health and clean
illness of HIghtstown. In fact, so re-
markable and complete has been the lin
iting of the epidemic that many believe
that it was not real diphtheria or it would
have spread more by conLagion.
On Tuesday afternoon, about o'clock,
the house of James N. Donnell, in the
Megyillar neighborhood, was discovered
to be on fire. At once the family and
neighborhood made every effort to sub
due the flames, but without avail. These
efforts to save the house, unfortunately,
we're continued so long that there was no
time left to remove anything from the
building, the destruction of which was
complete. An insurance of about 81 100
in the German American Company,
through J. r. Norton, is held by Mr.
Donnell on the house and contents. Kind
neighbors made comfortable home for
the homeless ones at once. Beside the
loss to Mr.. Donnell, his sister-in-aw, Mrs.
Jane Donnell, who had been visiting HIM
for few days, lost about $3.50 in money
and note for 500 which she had placed
in the bed she occupied and which was
forgotten in the excitement attending the
fire.
The business interests of Hightstown
received a severe blow yesterday when it
was announced that the large shirt factory
there, run by H. w. Wallach's Sons, of
New York, would shut down in the near
future. Messrs. Wallach's Sons have
decided to give up business in Nights
town and advertise their plant for sale
The factory will be closed as soon as the
work now on hand is completed, which
will probably be in about week. 1t is
said that the movement is not due to any
outside cause, but the result OF business
differences between the firm and the local
improvement association, through whose
efforts the factory was established. The
association owns the building. Wallaehs'
factory now employs about 30 operators,
and is the principal industry of the
town. Its closing will seriously affect the
prosperity of the place. especially as the
only other factories of any size there are
Aliens shoe factory and Williams shirt
factory, and both are closed temporarily
on account of the unsettled state of busl-
ness

repairs, if necessary.
A petition was offered for the construc-
ton of a road from the Delaware river
through Palmyra, to connect with the
Wilson station road. Messrs. Evans, Pan
coast, Joyce. Lippincott and Younker
were appointed committee.
The resolution authorizing the county
collector to borrow money at five per
cent. was considered, and resolution
was adopt ed authorizing him to pay six
per cent. if he is unable to get it for less.
1t was explained that the collector was
finding it impossible to get money at a
low rate of interest.
A resolution was adopted instructing
the solicitor to apply to the Circuit court
for three commissioners to assess the
benefits accrued by residents along the
recently constructed stone roads.
The committee on Court House and
Grounds was instructed to inspect the
drain leading from the Jail, with power to

Coroner Kelly was present and made a
statement. He said that Richard Buzby
died suddenly at jacques hotel. The
proprietor called DIR. Ships, who lived
next door, and upon finding that Mr..
Buzby was dead, notified the coroner.
That official went to the hotel, accom-
panied by DR.. French. who viewed the
body, and consequently. in the opinion of
the coroner, was entitled to the fee.
Mr.. Kelly said Mr. Jacques, the hotel
keeper, was probably confused when he
called DIR. Ships. "Dr. French said,
Kelly, ''is the coroner's physician, and is
entitled to the fee"
"Who appointed him coroner's physi-
clan p asked Mr.. Lipplncott.
II did, as one of the coroners OF Bur-
lington county," answered Kelly.
This explanation did not have very
much weight with the board, as motion
was Immediately passed paying DR..

journed to meet at the aims house, on

The political career of Senator Perkins
seems about nearing its end. The anti

and jumping on him, while those who
have always stood up for him, stand aloof

Senator Perkins to death in sharp

notwithstanding the change in owner

one of which starts to-day, taking in the
people along the Philadelphia, Whining

any employee can bring along as his fam

aback the other day when Jerseyman
presented himself with his wife, three
children, mother-in-law and two sisters.
They all went. Nearly all the excursion
lists take provisions with them sufficient
to last them until they reach Chicago, and
a few of the most economical have gone
so far as to take with them food enough to
sustain them all the time they are at the
Fair. so fearful are they of Chicago extor-
lions. The excursions have proven very
successful, and in the outing given to
their men and the opportunity afforded
them of seeing something of the world
the railroad officials feel that they have
been more than repaid for their generos-

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness
is caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube is inhamed You have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition hearing
will be destroyed forever. Nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces
