LATER.

The flood reached the maximum
when it was 80 feet above low water
mark, and eight feet deep on the pave
of the city. For an hour the water
hung at that point, and then, to the
intense relief of thousands of anxious
hearts, it began slowly to decrease
At 9 o'clock it had fallen a foot and
was still going down, slowly to be
sure, but surely enough to lift the ter
rible load from Il multitude of hearts
All now feel that the worst has come
A million and half worth of property
was destroyed, but so far as can be
learned no lives were lost

THE MANNER in which a certain saloon
in Mount Holly is conducted, or miscon
Quoted, has long been discussed, and not
withstanding there appears to be every
chance of securing evidence, nothing il
done, probably on the ground that what
is everybody's business is nobody's bust
ness" The rumors that frequently reach
us of the actions in the places that sell
liquor seem to justify a demsnd for the
reorganization of the law and order soci
ETY.. Hotels and saloons have multiplied
in this town with such rapidity as to give
cause for reflection, and while most OF
them are conducted as near legally as
such places can be run, there are thost
that go along at law defying pace anG
nobody says nay. There are six hotels,
eight saloons and two wholesale places il
this town of five thousand inhabitants.
They must all be necessary, for good men
took affidavit that they "were conducive
to the public benefit" There is no doubt
about one point, and that is that there If
not sufficient legitimate business for all OF
them, hence some must break the law.
We do not believe In prohibition, but we
do advocate close scrutiny into the
habits of every applicant for license. II
his record is clear, grant his request. Ii
he has violated the law, turn him down
and punish him for his misdeeds. The
fact that there is no remonstrance or no
objection to an application for license
should not he used as fimsy excuse to
privilege a man to continue in law
breaking career.

A PETITION is being circulated with a
view of securing a pardon for William
Agnew, who has served seven years OF
twenty years sentence in state prison for
numbering his wife. Once in while
pardon is sought for some deserving per-
son. but in this case there are no circum-
stances whatever to call for clemency.
This criminal killed his wife, and re
NAMED in the house with the corpse for
two days, sleeping beside the dead body
The brutal character of the man was
clearly shown at his trial, and there were
many who then thought, as there are
those who now think, that he should
have been hanged. He certainly is not a
desirable character to have roaming
around loose. In the time that has
ELAPSED since sentence was imposed
upon him, the population of the neighbor
hood of the crime has materially changed
and there are many who are perfectly
willing to sign the petition, while moi
familiar with the facts. Agnew's pension
has been accommodating since he went to
state prison, and possible deal on this
basis may be the motive for so much in
terest in the case.

harmony in Democratic ranks in New

Ter Heppenheimer, who desired to be the

obscure lawyer of Perth Amboy. The ap
pointment is said to have been made at
the suggestion of some of the Presidents
New York friends. Senator MCPHERSON
who was entirely ignored in the matter,
is very angry. and threatened all sorts Ct
things unless the name was withdrawn
which was done by the President on Sat
