In behalf of the New Lisbon Park and

Frank A. Foy spoke in favor of license
to keeps hotel at New Lisbon. This license
WAS Originally granted to William II
Barrett, but when the company discovered
that corporation could take out license
it applied in that capacity. Mr.. Foy read
the application. and argued on its validity
and reasons why the license should be
granted.
Mark r. Sooy answered for the remon-
strants He claimed that Mr.. Foy had moi
made a prima facie case, and was COMPEL
ed to present his proofs. The fact that
the New Lisbon company is legally incor-
porated has not been proved. Mr.. Sooy
read the remembrance and said that
while there were no doubts about the abil
ity to prove the allegations set forth il
that paper the persons who had charge O
the matter had been unable to secure suf.
iicient money to pay witnesses. and thel
I had not furnished any testimony, hence
| he was unable to present evidence, bu
would rely entirely upon LOCALITIES.
Mr.. Foy contended that there was nj
remonstrance before the court, IN fact, a.
there were serious defects in the pape
now being considered. He was prepares

William G. farmers carriage, containing
four persons, and bad both bones in his

Taking Weakfish in Nets.

The warm weather has brought the mi
| gratory weak fish north unusually early
and the bays and inlets are fairly teeming
with them. For the past three weeks fine
roe weak fish have been entering Barne-
gat bay,while ordinarily they are not seen
until June.
During the interim between the pas
sage of the repeater to the bill of the last
session, which entirely prohibited seine
fishing in Barnegat Bay, and the enact
ment of the law which was drafted to So
percede it, fishermen have been scooping
the channels with drift nets and taking
all the fish before they could spawn. The
hotel keepers and yachtsmen, who out
number the net fishermen in the lower
bay, and who have thousands of dollars
invested in hotels and sailing craft, are
naturally opposed to this, as they make
their money from the city fishermen, who
want good hook and line sport in the
summer. Consequently they will enforce
the new law, which forbids the use of
seines and fykes during the six months of
May, June, July, August, September and
October.

Disastrous Fire,

The town of Pemberton had a terribl
visitation, on Wednesday, in the shape o
fire that did great damage and which
for a time, threatened to sweep larg
portion of the place out of existence
And it may be Faithfully said, but for thu
efforts of the Mount Holly fire depart
ment, such result would certainly have
ensued. AS it is, seven dwelling houses
three barns and a church were destroyed
entailing a loss of about $4,000, bad
enough for large town.
The fire broke out about twenty min.
utes after four o'clock, and originated in a
barn off of Pemberton street The gen
eral impression is that the fire started in
Posts barn, although some say that it
was first seen in one of the other stables.
Accounts also differ about the location of
the fire. One person asserts that it broke
out on the inside of the barn near the
roof, while another is positive that it
started near the ground on the outside.
However, there is rot the slightest
doubt that the fire started and spread
with lightning-like rapidity. Immediate
ly in front of the barns are the resi-
dences of John Henry Antrim. DR.. Hol-
lingshead. Mr.. Post and John Clevenger.
As soon as the alarm was given Mr.. An
trim made preparations for removing his
household goods when the wind sudden
ly changed and carried the fire away
from him, but the other residences were
in danger for long time, and it was only
by hard work that they were saved. Not
withstanding its facilities for securing
good supply of water Pemberton has
never done anything towards protecting
itself from fire beyond purchasing an old
hand engine and few sections of hose.
These were brought into service as soon
as possible, but it was evident that they
were a mere bagatelle. and kilograms
were sent to Mount Holly, Bordentown
Burlington and Camden for aid.
Mount Holly was the first to respond.
Relief steamer and hose carriage and
America hose carriage were quickly
hauled to the railroad station and placed
upon cars, the railroad was made clear,
and the special few to Pemberton. In
thirty-six minutes after receiving the
message, our fremen had water on the
flames.
In the meantime the fire had been rap
dly spreading. Going west it destroyed
house owned by Elwood Dobbins and
occupied by William E. Warren. The

Wesley Warner, murderer of Lizzie
| Peak, has been acting strangely within
the past week, and is either becoming in
sane or teignlng insanity. He began by
calling out in loud voice that could be
heard all over the Jail. He insists that
he is victim of conspiracy, and that his
life is in danger. At one time he claimed
that his own counsel had tHrned against
him, and wanted another lawyer APP
pointed to look after him. His latest
freak is to refuse to eat the prison fare,
demanding that his food be sent in from
the hotel. 1t would not be at all surpris-
ing if Warmers mind is becoming affected.
With the picture of his crime behind him
and the gallows staring him in the face, it
is no wonder that he shows signs of aber-
ration. Warner will be closely watched.
