the Florence Iron Works. told how hotel
and drinking places interfered with the
business of the foundry. The men work
in gangs and, often on Mondays. some OF
the gangs would fail to appear, thus en-.
forcing idleness on the part of others.
When the number of licensed places was
reduced to one, there was better state
of affairs. He had carefully watched the
matter for some time and was satisfied
that one hotel was sufficient for the needs
of the place.
The applicants contended that persons
had frequently been unable to secure &C.
commodation at the hotel now licensed,
and which. it was claimed, was farther
away from the railroad station and steam
boat wharf than those now seeking H.
cense. Towns with less population than
Florence have more hotels than it does.
since the licensed places have been re-
duced, the illegal sale of liquor has
grown, over dozen indictments having
been found by the last grand jury for this
particular kind of law breaking in Flor
ence. The decision of the court was with
held.

Mayor McNeal and Police Justice Smith,
Of this city, have for some time past been
at loggerheads, but have kept the ruction
under cover until Saturday night. The
newly-elected Mayor is of the opinion
that the affairs of the city have hereto
fore been run in haphazard manner,
and he declares that while Mayor of the
city they will have to be run differently.
Saturday night Police Justice Smith
despatched an officer to the city jail for
the purpose of bringing prisoner to the
Police Justices Office for hearing. Mayor
McNeal, who was at the city Jail at the
time, forbid the officer taking The priso-
ner down to the Police Justices office,
and sent messenger to Police Justice
Smith, stating that the prisoner would
have to have his hearing in the Mayors
Office adjoining the Jail. This brought
the Mayor and Police Justice together in
wordy war and caused a blockade on
the sidewalk which it took the combined
police force to dispense.
Later in the evening the prisoner was
finally brought down to the Police JUS
tees Office for hearing. Police Justice
Smith declares that the end is not yet
and, as he has the city council at bis
back, there are likely to be interesting de-
velopments.

of Rev. John Bows Hills, who was rector
of st. Andrews Church, Mount Holly. q

the West Chester Church. There. too.
she entered with vim into church work.
and she soon had vested choir of so
voices, mainly boys.
Not more than year elapsed before
there were whispersi in which Mrs. Hills
name was mentioned in a manner that
was not entirely creditable to her. She
gave up training the choir, and organized
choral society, COMPOSED of the fashion
able ladies of the plaSe. A month since
she resigned from thss organization.
Mr.. Hills had been receiving letters
from parishioners and others informing
him of his wife's actions. These are said
to have troubled hun. The Episcopal
Church does not pefmit divorce except
for infdelity. and the rector is reported to
have visited Bishop Whitaker, of Phila-
delphia, for advice. II is understood that
the subsequent actions we're the result of
the consultation with the Bishop.
Rector Hills owns cottage at Spring
Lake, and on Tuesday last he took his
wife and three childrenthers. Hereturned

that he had filed reasons for divorce.
Mrs. Hills at once communicated with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Pierson, of

they were in West Chester pleading with
Rev. Mr.. Hills to withdraw his plea.
Mrs. Hills also visited West Chester
and had plain talk with her husband.
She told him that she did not object to
his having divorce, bat as she did not
mean to admit any guilt she would fight it
to the end. Then she left him and is now
at her parents home.
In the petition for divorce the rector
names as the offender Howard Garrett

as cross-bearer in the choir Mrs. Hill is

The Preparatory School Of Princeton
defeated the Bsrdentown Military Insti

The sylvia Wheelmen of Medford will
give novel century run on Decoration
Day. The riders will start from the club
headquarters on Bank street, over railroad
to Cross Roads, turn right to Kirby's Mill
and follow road to school house, there
turning south and finally westward to en-
ter Medford by road across Willow bridge
by old depot and out to Main street. This
is distance of five miles which. if cover
ed twenty times, will con stitute the one
hundred miles. The time limit is IA hours
from o'clock A. NJ Survivors will re-
ceive handsome two bar silver medal.
The run is open to any wheelman upon
payment of an entrance fee of 81. Every
rider IS allowed his own pace up to 10 laps,
when the finish will be made with or be-
hind a pacemaker. Information regard
ing the run may be obtained from W. P.
Haines, William Gardiner or Fred Branin,
Medford.
There was another good game of base
ball on the Mount Holly Athletic Asso-
cations grounds on Saturday. 1t was the
second game with the Riverside this
season. The latter won by a score of 8 to
2. The previous Saturday Mount Holly
won by 7 to 6. 1t is likely that the de-
Gliding game will be played later in the
season.
The features of the game on Saturday
were the pitching of Callahan and Stecher.
but six hits being made by each side.
Only one hit was made off Callahan in
the five innings he pitched. Lippincott,
Pemberton boy. occupied the box for
four innings for Mount Holly, and gave
the visitors five hits.
Mount Holly should have had the game
as it was, bad decision on second base
allowing one of Riverside's runners to
score. With tie score, the chances we're
largely in favor of the home club.
Stein, a new player. occupied center
field for Mount Holly, and put up good
game. He is likely to be retained regular

Catcher Mitchell had thelthumb on his
right hand broken by having it struck
with a pitched ball. He bad to retire
