Electric Lights .

At the last town meeting, it will be re-
membered, there was considerable dis
cussion over the fact that the township
committee had entered into contract with
the Mount Holly Electric Light Company
to light the streets of the town for three
years.
The opinion was expressed by several
lawyers that the contract was valid and
would stand. This idea is confirmed by
the result in a similar case in the upper
portion of the state and which was car
RED to the courts.
The case in question was in the town
ship of Kearny, Hudson county, whers

Dog. Came Trouble.

Three dogs belonging to DIR. John W.
Branin. on Washington street, were
poisoned on Sunday night of last week
and all died. A postmortem exami-
nation Of the animals was made on Thurs
day. after which the carcasses were left
lying in plain view of the neiehbors for
several days, and until notice was served
on the doctor by the Board of Health to
bury them within twenty-four hours after
receipt of the notice, which he did just
prior to the expiration Of that time.
DIR. Branin accused Mrs Samuel L.
Tomlinson of having poisoned the ami
mails, and retained Clarence T. Atkinson
to seek legal redress. The latter served
notice on the lady to settle the matter by
last Saturday to prevent an action at law,
but she refused, declaring that she had
nothing whatever to DO with killing the
dogs. The matter now appears to be in
statu quo.
Charles K. Chambers has been retained
as counsel for Mrs. Tomlinson.
1t is not unlikely that suit for SANDER
will be brought against the doctor for
certain remarks made by him growing
out of this controversy.
