Suit for Damages,

In the Philadelphia courts, last Tues
day, the suit or Mary B. Hollingshead vs..
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore Railroad Company, was begun.
The plaintiff is the daughter of DIR.
Enoch Hollingshead, of Pemberton, and
claims damages for personal injuries re-
ceived in the collision between the Wash
ington express and local train, at South
street station, on Washington's birthday,
1898.
Miss Holllngshead was a student at
Swarthmore College, and was riding from
that place to Philadelphia when the acct
dent occurred The express plowed
through the car IN which she was sitting,
and she was pinned down by an iron bar
and heap of debris, receiving severe in
juries to her spine, and her nerves re-
ceived a severe shock on account of the
young lady being compelled to lie among
the dead and dying and listening to the
cries of the latter. In the excitement
she lost her pocketbook, which contain
ed her return ticket to Swarthmore, and
when she boarded another train of the
company to 90 back to the place, the con
ductor refused to allow her to ride with
out paying her fare, although he knew
the circumstances of the matter. She
says that in consequence she was com
PEELED to go through the streets of the
city in clothes torn, bloody. and unfit for
lady to be seen in, to procure funds t
pay her fare. She further AYERS that sh,
was prevented from prosecuting he
studies at the college for three weeks fol
lowing the accident. The case occupie,
all of last week and will probably go t,
the jury to-day

Through the efforts of Rev. Martin Aig-
ner conference was held at the carpet
mill on Friday between a committee of
the striking weavers and the manage
ment of the concern to bring about set
Element of the trouble over wages The
conference lasted about half day.
After considerable discussion, Mr.. Dun
lap made a proposition to the men that
they return to work at once at the old
rate of pay, 81 cents per yard, for the Jaw
anese Wilton carpet. and to give it four
weeks trial. If. at the expiration of that
time, the weavers are still dissatisfied,
the matter is to be left to three arbitra-
tors, one to be appointed by the firm, one
by the weavers, and these two to APP
point a third. If this committee decides
that the men have not received fair
wages, then the firm agrees to pay for the
four weeks work done and thereafter the
additional three-fourths cent per yard
asked by the weayers.
If. however, the arbltrators decide that
the old rate is sufficient compensation, the
employees are to continue at the same
price, ST cents.
This proposition was accepted by the
strikers and work was resumed yesterday
morning
Yesterday afternoon land since the
above was written) Manager Dunlap
telephoned from Philadelphia that as the
strikers had shown a willingness to arbi-
trate the difficulty and had returned to
work at the old scale, he would grant
them the raise to six cents per yard.

To Dog Owners.

Assembly Bill No. SO Is of interest to
all persons owning dogs as it has been
signed by the Governor and is now law.
1t provides that every person who shall
own, keep or harbor any dogs, shall have
the same registered and numbered with
the Clerk of the township, borough or
city where the owner or person harbor-
ing the animals shall live. Each dog
shall wear collar on which shall be en-
graved on metal surface, the name of
the owner and the registered number of
the dog, and it shall be lawful for any
person to kill any dog found straying off
the owners premises without such collar
on its neck.
The law makes it the duty of each
township borough or city to provide a
book for the purpose of registering the
owners name of every dog, numbering
them in the order of the owners applying
for said registration, and giving to each
person information of the registered num-
Der thereof The person applying for reg
lstration shall pay the sum of one dollar
for each dog thus registered, of which the
Clerk shall receive twelve cents for reg
is.ration, the balance to be applied to
paying damage done by dogs to domestic
animals or poultry. In case the Clerk
refuses to register dogs he is liable to a
fine of ten dollars The township COM
mittee is to appoint person with full
power and authority to kill dogs found
straying around without the necessary
collars. The law is in full force now.

MOSS Side mansion Burned.

The large dwelling house near Haines-
port, formerly the residence of Thomas
E. Morris, was destroyed by fire on Fri
day morning. The house is known as
Moss Side Mansion" and has been used
for some time as a summer boarding
house. The fire must have started after
one O'Clock, as passengers on the FOWL
line" say that it was all right when they
passed it. The house was entirely de-
stroyed but the other buildings did not
ignite. AS the house was not occupied
the fire was the result of accident or de-

might have been sleeping in the house
and made fire. The property was in

ing that he has reached the unprecedent-
ed number of 10000 people in giving
Nitrous Oxide Gas for the Painless Ex-

single Office in America. He is gratified
to state that in all this large number he
has never had an accident, or any injur-
lous results to follow.
DR.. Thomas and his friends attribute
the success attending this great record

the death of colored infant which oc
Cured on Friday. The attention of the
Coroner was called to the case by DR.
Matson, of Moorestown, who was asked
to give burial certificate, but on examin-
ing the body, he found marks which led
him to believe that death was caused by
violence. He notified Aaron E. Burr
who in turn sent word TO the Coroner,
and on his order postmortem was held.
This examination showed there were
marks on the neck, the skin and muscles
showing plainly that they had been
bruised, the vertebra giving all the APP
pearances of broken neck. DR.. Chalk

mortem, was of the opinion that death
was the result of violence.

A Historical spot to be Marked.

The New Jersey Society of the Cincin-
natl are preparing to mark the spot where
number of patriots, under the command
of Count Polaski, we're massacred on the
Tuckerton road, between Tuckerton and
Osborn Island.
This society is looking forward to hav-
ing every important historical point in
New Jersey marked with appropriate
tablets or monuments. This massacre oc-
Cured September 10Th, 1873, and both the
engagement and the place have been lost
sight of by the present generation. The
exact spot is known, and it is proposed to
place on the roadside a granite monu-
ment three feet square and six feet high,
on which will be placed tablet announc-
ing the event. This will probably be
done on July Sd. by a committee OF the
society. The annual dinner of the New
Jersey Society takes place at Spring Lake
on July 4th.
