cleaned the gloves with gasoline and hung
them over lamp to dry. They exploded
without warning and the flames flashed in
Gorgas' face, badly burning him.
A burglar was caught while attempting
to rob the barber shop of John P. Sharp,
shortly after midnight, on Thursday. A
full burglars kit was found in his pos
session, and it is expected he will be con-
nected with some of the recent robberies
which have taken place here. AT hear
ing later, he gave his name as Joseph Gus
rang of Callowhill street. above Fifth,
Philadelphia.
The importance of the capture of Gus
rang, was not fully realized until Friday,
when a number of burglaries were fasten-
ed upon him. In their search of his room,
Philadelphia officers found in a satchel
part of newspaper which bore Justice of
the Peace Spsyd's name, and pawn tickets
for some goods taken from the Justices
house.
A number of other pawn tickets and ar
ticles identified as those stolen from per-
sons in Riverside we're found. He is now
in Mount Holly Jail.
George w. Spayd has rendered bis res
ignation as justice of the peace.

the tracks of the Amboy Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, at an early hour
Saturday morning, suffering from serious
injuries. An engine and box car were

reward. The farmer who conducts his
/ business on the same principle as a mer.
chant does is the Inan who is successful
ANY rotation of crops that omits clover is
an error, as clover is the great fertilizer
crop, the qualities of which cannot be
dispensed with.
Thomas ]. Beans read a very interest
ing paper on "How to grow chunky sweet
potatoes, the old theories, early planting
and shallow blowing, having proven fall
acious" There is not the slightest doubt
that the sweet potatoes which glut our
markets are not chunky. The latter is
considered better and sweeter than the
lean one, and is more eagerly sought after.
This may be notion, but if the buyer is
willing to pay for it, it is, of course, com
mercial wisdom to take advantage of it.
Mr. Strong, of Middlesex, had some
specimens of pears on the table, and by
special invitation he spoke on the quail
ties of the fruit.
Howard Russ had as his subject SIS it
cheaper to buy stable manure than to
keep animals to manufacture it." He con-
tended that it is cheaper to buy, and Illus
trated his ideas with figures showing the
cost of buying and of producing.
D. Harry Wright read paper on How
shall we preserve our forests ?"
Barclay White continued this subject
in a well written paper The earth is
productive of animal food only when
watered, and in forests are most OF the
sources of our streams of water, and the
forests should be protected by statutory
provisions. Across Burlington county
runs belt of woodland, and between it
and the Delaware river is tract of fertile
land second to none in the United States.
Our pine lands can, with a good system
of forestry, be made to grow timber OF
great value. Friend White referred to
forest fires, unjust taxation and timber
thieves, and strongly urged some means
to protect our forests from depreciation.
as the proposed action of the Philadel-
phia Board of Health requiring the in
spection of all cattle for tuberculosis prac-
teal ?" was the theme of DR. W. G. Parry's
paper. The Philadelphia authorities pro-
posed to require that all milk offered for
sale in that city shall be accompanied
with certificate that the cattle were free
from the disease. By prompt action of
the Dairymen's Association of this county,
the proceedings were stayed. In the large
cities, strenuous efforts are being made to
have cattle examined for tuberculosis.
Whether this is practical is a question.
Several states are discussing this point.
The Philadelphia board wants all diaries
examined within so days. This is simply
impossible, as the supply of tuberculln is
not ample enough, nor could examiners
be found who could do the work in the
time mentioned. Statistics prove that
tuberculosis, or consumption, is on the
decrease in the human family, and that
the percentage of infected diaries is very
small.
This concluded the proceedings.
