The body of man, who was evidently
killed by train on the Amboy division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was found
near this place early Thursday morning
and was taken in charge by Coroner Hor-
ner. The man was five feet 81 inches in
height. about 20 years old, and wore q
gray coat and blue overcoat. On his arms
we're tattooed cross, flag with S. S. un.
derneath, and an anchor. In his pockets
were found two prescriptions of DIR
Seltz, of Harrisburg, Pa; also pill box
lid with label of "Hamlin's pharmacy
Harrisburg" There were also a number
of business cards reading: Charles H
Smith, S22 North Third street, Harris
burg, Pa"
Coroner Horner's investigation pretty
well established the fact that the Harris
burg man, whom at least two passenger
trains struck, was the victim of a mishaI
and not foul play. Charles H. Smith, {
barber of Harrisburg, Pa, fully identified
the remains as those of his brother, Sa

and who had written of his intention e

had probably fallen off freight train.

The Heisley VIM case was concluded
in the Ocean county courts. on Tuesday
when the prisoner, Charles G. Heisley
was sentenced to pay fine of $500 and
costs-about $3.50 in all. His crime was
beating members of the VIM family in
the school house at New Egypt. Heisley
is of an excellent family. His light SEN
tence is due largely to the fact that the
Wins are known as troublesome fam.
lily, and nearly always have some criminal
case IN which they are concerned at every
term of court. Heisley was appointed as
cadet at West Point by President Grant
during his second term, but did not com.
plete the course, although he is man of
natural brilliancy. His part in this affair
has cost him bride in addition to the
fine. as he was to have been married to

caused her people to break off the en-
gagement.

Papers were filed with the Secretary O.
State, at Trenton, on Friday, incorporating
the Burlington and Mount Holly Traction
Company. The principal Office is at Cam
den, and it is generally understood that
the new organization is the Pennsylvania
Railroad company.
1t is said that the idea is to operate the
present railroad connecting Burlington
and Mount Holly by electricity. Nothing
definite is known, but the rumored plar
is to start the road at point near the
railroad station in Burlington, running
out High street to Federal, then to the
railroad, where it now intersects the
Jacksonville turnpike.
What the idea is at the Mount Holly
end we do not know, but it would not be
bad for the new company to leave the
railroad at the fair ground, connect with
the street railway already in existence,
running to the station. Steam will moi
be entirely abandoned on the railroad
but would be used in hauling freight
until other arrangements are completed.

Mary Bispham, 70-year-old resident
of this town, was fatally burned Thurs
day. She was preparing breakfast, and
being taken suddenly sick dropped the
lamp she was carrying. The lamp ex-
ploded, and her clothes ignited, her 65'
year-old sister, the only other occupant
of the house, giving the alarm. A neigh
Dor, at the risk of his own life, saved the
woman from being cremated, but she was
a horrible sight. the flesh on her breast
and limbs being burned nearly to the
bone, and at s o'clock in the evening she
died without having regained conscious

attempted to get away, but the constable
had already summoned help, and George
Simpson, who arrived in response to th'
summons, attended to one of them. They
were both put under arrest and taken tt
the lookup, where search revealed tbs
presence of a revolver of the old-fashion-
ed pattern, of huge calibre, and further
examination, brought to light a sci
of harness in each sack. The men would
answer no questions, except that they
lived in Camden and were on their way
home.
The men were given hearing before
Squire Scheidell, on Tuesday afternoon,
when the harness was identified by John
Conover and son Frank, of Bridgeboro,
as their property, which had been stolen
from their barn that morning. Mr.. Con-
over stated that on going to the barn
early, he discovered both stable doors
open, and later, that two sets of harness
were missing. He and his son drove to
Moorestown trying to trace the thief, and
on their way home met a farmer who in
formed them of the arrest made here.
and they at once drove over, arriving in
time to furnish the connecting links in
the trial The young thieves, who gave
their names as Lewis SlingweIne, %
years, and Frank Hullings, 20 years, of
Camden, acknowledged taking the har-
ness from the barn. Both men were
we'll known to the owner Of the harness,
as they had both worked for him at diff
ferent times. and he stated, as did his
son, that although they knew nothing
bad of Slingweine, Hullings had been in
Jail before, and had been caught in rob
bing a house, for which he had never
been prosecuted.
The men were committed to jail to be
held for trial at next term of court.

particular. The boys sang and played
well, their selections were good, and their

club sang some comic selections that took
Immensely, and the music of the stringed
instruments was of character to keep
the feet moving and to put everybody in
good humor. The many encores proved
that the audience was in touch with and
thoroughly appreciated the entertain

caused so much merriment that it was
feared some of the audience had become
hysterical from laughter. The concert
was under Y. M. G. A. auspices.
Skeletons Found.
While digging at the sand pits just be-
low Hainesport, on Thursday, the work
men came across two skeletons. They
were only IA inches under the ground
and were not over foot apart, lying face
downwards. There was no evidence OF
coffin or box, and the bodies had the ap-
pearance of having been rudely tumoled
into the ground. In one of the skulls was
a hole, which might have been caused by
a bullet or by a cut from the spade OF the
workmen.
The remains had doubtless been in the
ground for long time. At first it was
thought they were the skeletons of In
dams, but it is possible that the bones
were those of two men who disappeared
years ago near the Bulls Head hotel, !
quite close to where the bodies were found
and who were thought to have been
murdered.
