Mrs John Rigg, widow of the late
John Rigg, died at the Medico-C hirurgi-
cal Hospital, Philadelphia, Monday of
last week, from the result of surgical
operation.
John Kemple, a farmer living near this
city, was run over on Friday and seri-
ously injured. Mr.. Kemple was loading
his wagon at the freight station, when the
horses became frightened and ran away,
throwing him to the ground, the wheels
passing over his body.
Mrs Emma G. Neall died on Thursday
from the effects of dose of laudanum adj
ministered by her own hands. The I'M
fortunate woman had been in the Insane
Asylum at Trenton, coming home in July
for short visit. She appeared to dread a
return to the asylum. On Thursday
morning she gave boy ten cents and
sent him to grocery store for some laud-
anum. At the inquest the coroner CEN
sured the grocer for selling the poisonous
drug to child but the jury exonerated
the man, and found a verdict that Mrs.
Neall came to her death by her own
hand.

August Zisak's shoe store was broken
into and robbed of nearly all his stock of
shoes, on Tuesday night, over $500 worth
being taken. Entrance was made through
a rear shutter, which was chiseled open.
The latch over the window was pushed
back with thin shoe knife, which the
burglars got from house in the rear of
the lot This affair shows every cyl
dence of local talent.
On Thursday night the livery stable of
Robert i. Little & Co., of East Main
street, was entered but nothing was taken.
One of the horses was in use, and 1t is
supposed that the intruders noticed the
fact, and fearing that the driver would re-
turn and catch them, took their leave.
The door was forced open in exactly the
same manner as the shutter at Zisak's
store.
Annie Quinn, the 16-year-old servant
girl of butcher Ed. Pearson, became vio-
lently insane about noon, on Thursday,
and attempted to put Mr. Pearson's three
year-old boy in the kitchen stove to burn
him up. Just a few minutes before she
had no appearance of insanity and asked
to take the children out for walk as it
would do them good, as she said. But
while Mrs. Pearson was out Of the house
on an errand she heard screams from the
little boy, and upon going back she found
the fiendish girl had taken the lids off the
stove and had the boy in her arms, try
ing to put him in the fire. When Mrs
Pearson attempted to stop her she APP
peared to have the strength of giant
and hustled Mrs. Pearson out of the room
and shut the door, telling her she intend.
ed to kill them all and burn the house
Fortunately Mr.. Pearson was near, and he
with the help of several men overpow
cred the girl and held her until DIR. Marcy
came and administered ether to her.

State Secretary Arthur Lucas spent Sum
day in Mount Holly, working for the as
ISOLATION. About 30 men and boys we're
present at the afternoon meeting which
Mr.. Lucas addressed. The orchestra was
in attendance. The meeting next Sunday
afternoon will be conducted by Samuel A.
Atkinson. All men welcome.
The complaint has been urged against
the Y. NJ. G. A. here that it does not
reach the class of people for whom it was
designed. Probably the statement of a
few facts will be in order on this line. AT
present there are Is applications for mem
bership, all of which have been entered
since October g. Of these never attend
church, and of the IA others who do at
tend church only are members of any
church. All that the association needs at
present is united and determined work.
Let success be the watchword of the as
sociation and the non-churchgoers will
find home in the Y. M. G. A. and then
unite with some church.
Robert Alice has presented another
book to the association library. Title,
General History of Rome" Let others
follow the example.
The regular monthly members meeting
of the Y. NJ. G. A. will be held this even
ing at 8 o'clock. 1t is a matter of import
ance that all members be present.
Eighteen applicants for membership
since October 8. Let every member make
up his mind to add one to the list and the
Mount Holly Y. NJ c. A. will soon hold
an enviable rank among the 43 associa-
tions of the state, Now Is the time for
aggressive work.
The educational classes in the associa
ton are progressing finely. A special in
vitation is extended to the directors to
visit the classes any evening that suits
them. Directors who have forgotten
where the Y. M. C. A. building is sit
uated, will find the entrance to be the
third door south of the post office. The
same directions apply to members.
The association is deeply indebted to
the orchestra and to John M. Huff, leader
of the singing, for the rapid and constant
growth of interest in the Y. M. G. A.
meetings. The officers of the association
are sorry that no tangible mark of their
appreciation can be shown at present, but
the musicians are men who have the work
at heart. and reap reward in the good that
they are doing. Come next Sunday and
let the orchestra and Mr.. Huff know that
their work is appreciated.

Our MiIitarv Company.

Brigade Inspector Col. d. B. Murphy
paid his annual visit to Mount Holly, on
Friday evening, and inspected Co. F,
After a careful examination of men and
accoutrements, he pronounced himself
well pleased, and said that although there
had been several changes during the year,
with many new men in the ranks, he
thought the company would average at
least 80 per cent. higher than at the last
inspection.
After the inspection the company and
few invited guests went to Zelley's hotel,
where good supper had been spread,
which was speedily demolished and heart
lily enjoyed. After supper speeches were
made by Col. Murphy, Prosecutor Budd,
Jerome B. Grigg, ex-Sheriff Harbert and
others.
The result of the inspection is very
gratifying and Capt. Gale, together with
the men whom he commands, are entitled
to great credit for keeping the standard
of Co. F high on the roll of the Seventh
Regiment.

a SI,ok Sw,ndIer.

A stranger call on Philip Karg King
street, yesterday, and requested loan OF
SIS. He told a plausible story about
wanting money to send his wife to see
her mother, who was dying, and offered a
gold watch as security. Mr.. Karg took
the watch and gave the man the money.
It was learned after the stranger had
skipped that the watch is practically
worthless.
Before going to Karg, the man went to
the store of George w. Durand, and at
tempted to play the same dodge. Here
he told of case of sickness requiring his
immediate attendance out of town, and
asked for loan on the watch and chain,
that he might get enough money to go
with.
He claimed to live on Water street and
said his wife dealt at Durand's store. In
further evidence that he was resident of
the town he showed punch-cards from
the stores of Atkinson and Wright. Mr..
Durand did not bite, however, and the
fellow went for another victim.
AS soon as Karg found that the watch
was worthless he notified the police, and
they watched the trains to Philadelphia,
but were unable to secure the swindler.

There is a prospect that the Vincen-
town branch road and the Lumberton
and Medford road may soon be operated
by electricity. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road has been anxious to be rid of these
roads for some time and has threatened
to entirely withdraw the train service,
which is now so meagre as to be unsatis-
factory both to the people and to the rail-
road company. A few capitalists, inter-
ested in trolley roads. recently made a
proposition to lease the roads and change
the motive power. The details of the con-
tract have all been arranged satisfactorily
and nothing remains to complete the
transfer, but the payment of a certain
sum to the railroad company, which will
probably be done in a few days. The
new concern will transfer freight to the
Pennsylvania railroad and will doubtless
furnish much better passenger service
than the roads now enjoy.

A Pleasing Lectnre.

In the opera house, on Tuesday evening
next, December 4, Robert B. Engle, Jr.,
will deliver lecture on Florida, lllustrat-
ing with views thrown by means of a
stereopticon. Mr.. Engle's views are from
photographs taken by himself, and his
lecture is the result of personal observa-
ton, from notes jotted down while on the
scene. We have seen his book of photo
graphs and it certainly contains some fine
pictures. The lecture will undoubtedly
be interesting and instructive and should
draw a good house.

An interesting case occupied the atten-
ton of Vice Chancellor Bird in Chambers
at Camden yesterday. 1t was the suit of
the Pemberton Building and Loan Asso-
ciatlon against George L. Adams.
The building association sues to fore
close a mortgage for $3.50, made last year
by Adams to secure a deed to certain
building properties at Cramer Hill. The
defense hinges upon whether or not
Adams, who is youthful looking man, is
a minor. Adams financial transactions,
as shown by the witnesses for the COM
plalnant, must have been little off color
Through j. H. Kirkbude, of Cramer Hill,
he secured deeds to lots sold by Alfred
Cramer. Adams and his mother finally
built houses on the lots and then Adams
mortgaged his share and is said to have
stated that if foreclosure proceedings were
directed against him he would refute the
mortgages as he was minor.
William R. Howes, Philadelphia lum-
Der merchant, called to see young Adams
at his fathers house at Cramer Hill. Mr..
Howes wanted money for lumber Adams
had purchased. During a conversation
Adams, ST., made the statement that no
money could be gotten from Adams, Jr.
as the boy was not of age. Yound Adams
thereupon remarked, ''Well, if that's the
case, there is local preacher here that |
am going to skin, too" Mr.. Howes found
out Mr.. Kirkbride. who is licensed
minister. and told him of the remark.
This put Kirkbride on his guard, and as a
director in the Pemberton Building and
Loan Association he began looking into
Adams transactions.
At the time Adams executed the bond
and mortgage, May Is, 1898, Mr.. Kirk
bride asked him if be (Adams) had reach
ed his majority. and the young man said
that he had. The case was continued.
