Sunday afternoons meeting was well
attended. and the interest is increasing.
About thirty were present, against six
four weeks ago. The orchestra was in
attendance, and ]. NJ. Huff led the sing
ing. A short talk was given by the gen.
eral secretary. Ali men are invited next
Sunday, at the usual time.
This week is the week of prayer at the
Y. M. c. A. Meeting each evening at 730.
December %, the Brown University
Glee Club, of Providence, R. l., will give
one of their entertainments at the Opera
House, under Y. M. @. A. auspices. This
Is one of the finest college combinations
in the country, and Mount Holly is
very fortunate in having an opportunity
of hearing them. They we're secured
through the efforts Of Charles X. Cham
bers, Esq, who is a graduate of the
university.
Walter E. Dobbins, Esq, of Burlington,
formerly a prominent Y. M. c. A. worker
here, paid the rooms pleasant visit last
week.
All young men who wish to enter the
class in penmanship, please consult the
secretary, at once. Also, any who wish
to enter q class in shorthand, will in
quire of Edwin R. Semple, late private
secretary to Governor Hastings. of
Pennsylvania.
Harry K. Heebner, formerly general
secretary here, paid the Y. M. c. A. q
visit last Thursday evening. Mr.. Heeb-
ner is now in the Kensington Y. M. C. A.,
Philadelphia.
Hon. ]. H. Gaskill has recentlylhad the
parlor and library rooms papered. This
is great improvement Come in and see
if you know the place. The work was
done by T. Walter Borton.
For some time association members
and the secretary have been annoyed by
a crowd of boys, who seem to think that
the Y. M. c. A. was designed altogether
as place where they can amuse them
selves, without regarding law, order, or
common courtesy and respect to others.
They have been kindly and respectfully
requested to desist, time after time, till
the secretary sees no other way to pre-
serve the honor of the institution than to
forbid those boys and young men from
entering the rooms. Hereafter, those
who persist in carrying on the disturb
ance will be put out, and forbidden to en-
ter for a given period of time. Come.
boys, as long as you can behave in gen
tlemanly manner, but when you mis-
behave you will forfeit all the privileges
of the association.
New members are the order of the
month. Those who join this week may
have their membership dated from De-
cember l, and they will thus gain over
two weeks.

is locked up in Philadelphia, charged
with being horse thief, and stealing a
horse. buggy and harness from William
Gallagher, living at Hollingshead Corner,
near Tacony, Pa. He was caught near
Vincentown, by Aaron E. Burr, of Moores-
town. The same man went to Borden
town on Monday night of last week and
stopped at the Bordentown House, re-
naming until the following Wednesday,
registering under the above name giving
Mount Holly as his residence. While in
Bordentown he endeavored to dispose of
both horse, buggy and harness for $50
Finding that he could not dispose of the
property in bulk, he finally traded the
buggy to John Lamb for road cart and
81. after which he left Bordentown. He
had worked for Gallagher some seven
years previous. When arrested he pleaded
not to be locked up in New Jersey, and
willingly went to Pennsylvania without
requisition. He was committed in default

this man is guilty of stealing number of
bicycles in this vicinity.

To Solve a School Problem.

Manchester township, Ocean county,
has presented a test case to the Board OF
Education of the state, on the much
mooted question of the power of the re-
firing boards of school trustees to engage
teachers for service this winter The
school in dispute is at Wheatland, small
hamlet on the New Jersey Southern Rail
road, where a colony of Frenchmen have
settled and embarked in the business of
manufacturing artistic tiles and ornamen-
tai brick, from the valuable deposits of
fire clay that abound.
Last spring, Mr. Cottrell. clerk of the
district school board, engaged his niece as
teacher for the next year. She was at the
time living in Illinois, and came east in
the summer to take the position. When
the election for township board of edu-
cation took place in July under the new
school law, William Montgomery, the SUI
perintendent of the Central Railroad Car
Shops, at Manchester village, and the
leading Democrat in the township, cap

self and five others in the employ of the
railroad company, as members of the
board.
Mr.. Montgomery has daughter, Nor
NAL school girl, and the township board
Immediately elected her to the position Of
teacher in the Wheatland school. Then
the trouble began.
County Superintendent of Schools Cap
tain f. M. Lonan, of Toms River, had be-
fore given an opinion that all teachers
contracts made by the retiring boards
were valid, and when appealed to, he sus
tanned Mr.. Cottrell. Mr.. Montgomery
and his new board Of education were not
to be put off that easily. however, and
they have taken the matter TO the state
superintendent of schools, Addison M
Poland, for adjustment. But in the mean
time the children of Wheatland are de-
prIved Of school.
The test case derives it's importance
from the fact that the same dispute hai
arisen in many parts Of the state, al
though it is hard to see on what basii
any objection can stand. as the law plain
Iy provides that all contracts made by
the retiring trustees must be honored by
the new boards.

Court.

The regular monthly session of the
county courts was held on Thursday.
Judge Gaskill announced that the will
of Hollingshead Stokes, deceased, Moores
town, would be admitted to probate
This will was contested on the ground
that the testator's mind was affected by
the use of liquor, but evidence showed
that this was not so.
The will of the late Dsnieli Everham, OF
New Hanover, was also admitted, the
claim of undue influence not being proved
The court then took up the appeal case
of John Fsgans against John M. Mccoy,
of Beverly. Prosecuted Budd represented
Fagans, and Charles E. Hendrickson rep
resented Mccoy. The case was originally
tried before Justice Adams, of Beverly,
and jury, Mccoy getting verdict for
twenty dollars. Fagans is an old man,
and lived with Mccoy some SIX months
They dealt with each other, the law suit
being the result. Fagans claimed he was
to get ten dollars month and his board.
Mccoy denied this, and offset this claim
with bill containing board and other
charges.

Before election there were many ru-
mors of how Mlcsiah E. Matlack was
to be cut and slashed in certain quarters.
Burlington was selected as a place where
this was to be done, and, of course,
ex-Sheriff Hays was said to be at the bot
tom of it. But when the returns came in
Micajah was the second highest man on
Burlington's ticket, Dr. Parry leading him
by one vote, and in Sheriff Hays district
Matlack was the highest man. All OF
which confirms what has been said before,
viz, that Sheriff Hays is Republican
all the time, and not liable to go crooked,
as are some of those who are continually
running him down, and attributing to
him motives that emanate entirely in
their own brains.
