Robinson, of Philadelphia, who have re-
sided here nearly three years, and who
have got along very nicely together, have
dissolved partnership on account of Mr.
Robinson getting too familiar with an old
lover IN Philadelphia, named Miss Ordain
Smith It appears that Mrs. Robinson
has known for a long time that her hus-
band was flirting with this Miss but, as
she did not think it would amount to any
thing, she said nothing. Last Thursday
Mrs. Robinson went to Philadelphia on a
visit to her sisters for a few days and
while she was away Mr.. Robinson went
down to Philadelphia and brought back
with him Miss Smith and got board for
her across the stree from his sister, Mrs.
H. Jones, and at evening have been re-
turning to Mr.. Robihyon's of course,
where they could have good time; but
when Mrs. Robinson came home she
made things very dusty for while, and
it is thought as long as Miss Smith resides
here it will continue to be dusty.

Picnic parties from this resort to the
beach at Harvey Cedars, where the

Fishing has been fine during the past
week in most instances, and the anglers
have little to complain of Bluefsh and
weakfsh, sea bass, plaiee, and few Sleeps
head are included in the catch. The
yachtsmen are anxious, however, about
the reported orders to the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius to blow up the wrecks
on the shoals at the mouth of Barnegat
Inlet. They recall the summer of 1891,
when the iron steamer Guadaloupe Hi
dalgo was destroyed by dynamite, and
the disastrous effect it had upon fishing.
Not only did the continued explosions
cover the surface of the water for miles
around with dead or stunned fish, but it
kept many schools from entering the inlet
entirely. Hence the fishermen would
like to have the government destroy its
wrecks after the fishing season.

Railroad Notes.


Samuel Crockford and family will soon
remove to Beach Haven to reside perma-
nently. Mr.. Crockford is to be con-
ductor on the road at that place.
The agreement between the Tuckerton
railroad and the Pennsylvania railroad,
whereby the former operated that part of
the road extending from Manahawkin to
Beach Haven, has been revoked, and
hereafter it will be operated by the Penn
sylyania railroad This has been con
templated for some time and the an
nouncement has been formally made.
The new arrangement took effect on July
goth.
AS illustrating the extent to which the
Pennsylvania Railroad has reduced ex-
penses, 1t was stated recently that during
the present year only about 100 locomo-
tives would be built; the usual number is
frorn 230 to 24O year. No additions are
being made to the car equipment beyond
that which is absolutely necessary; in
this respect, however, it may be well to
state that the equipment was never in
finer condition than at present.

The August meeting of the county court
was held on Wednesday, Judges Gaskill,
Glasgow and Lippincott present
The first business of importance was
the will contest in the estate of Daniel
Everham, of New Hanover township. A
caveat had been filed against probating
the will. The instrument was drawn in
1888, and Everham died in 1894.
Mark r. Sooy represented the estate
and Eckard P. Budd and Micajah E. Mat
lack appeared for the caveators.
Walter E. Borton testified that he
wrote the will and read it over to Ever
ham before the latter signed it, the wit
nesses being Josiah Borden and John w.
Plat. Witness said they all signed in
the presence of each other, Everham re-
questing Borden to make his mark for
him, which he did. In 1889 Borden said
he wrote codicil to the will and the
same witnesses signed it.
JOSIAH Borden testified to the circum-
stances under which he had been a wit
ness to Everham's will. He considered
that the latter was of sound mind and
memory. On cross examination witness
denied having said afterwards that he
would not want Everham to do any bust
ness for him lie had known him some
fifty years, but did not know his age.
John w. Platt, the other subscribing
witness, being dead, the will was offered
and the proponents then rested.
The first witness for the caveators was
William F. Bishop, who testified that he
had known Daniel Everham several
years, and had married his daughter.
Bishop said he had a conversation with
John w. Platt, who told him he thought
Everham was not capable of making a
will. This was after the will had been
made and Plat had been one of the sub
scribing witnesses. Bishop said Josiah
him Everham was very much excited
when the will was made and that he
would not want man in his frame OF
mind to make a will for him.
Lee C. Davis testified that he lived in
New Hanover and had known EYerham
for ~ years. Davis was running Jones
mill some seven years ago and one day
Everham came there and did not seem tC
know the way home. Witness had seer
him pick up cigar stumps and do other
funny things, and did not think he waf
capable Of doing business or making 4
will. On discrimination Davis sale
the only business transaction he had with
with Everham was at the mill.
Elias d. Marie, M. D.. testified that he
lived at Plattsburg and attended DAME
Everham at times for fifteen years anC
until 1888. During the last two or tire,
years his mind seemed to be failing grad
ually. He had one or two mild attack o
paralysis five or six years before he died
Witness would not say Everham was in
capable of making will in 1888, bu
thought he might easily be influenced.
On cross examination the doctor sale
he had no business with Everham durinI
