Men in the employ of the Henry A.
Dreer Company were at work On an en-
bankment on the Delaware River front
Tuesday when they dug up the skeletons
of four or five human beings. The bones
| lay but few feet below the surface, and
not far from the waters edge, 80 that the
theory first entertained, that the spot
marked the burial place of tribe OF
Indians, was dIspelled. Moreover, the
last bones found seemed to be of more re-
cent burial than the others, and they
were taken to DIR. Marcy for examination
He at once pronounced them those OF a
white man, and be added much mystery
to the gruesome find by declaring that the
head had been crushed in, evidently
causing death. The bones were found in
lonely spot near "Faunce's Cabin"
rendezvous for tramps when it was not
occupied by the shad fishers in the spring.
1t is thickly surrounded by trees, and
stories are afoat of fierce fights there
among the habitues After further in
Yestigation DR.. Marcy says the bodies may
have been buried century or more ago.
They may be the skeletons of early set
tiers, OF fishermen who lived along the

trade on the river. The bowl Of an an
Gent Dutch pipe, of fine workmanship,
was found with one of the bodies.
Two more skeletons were added on Sat
urday, to the growing pile of bones being
covered on the river bank. The num-
Der has now reached dozen and specula-
ton is now rife as to how they came
there.

The Shakers have made hit. Their
Digestive Cordial is said to be the most
successful remedy for stomach troubles
ever introduced 1t Immediately relieves
all pain and distress after eating, builds
up the feeble system and makes the weak
strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are
better than 80 called tonics. The Cordial
not only contains food already digested,
but is digester of other foods Food
that is not digested does more harm than
good. People who use the Cordial insure
the digestion of what food they eat and in
this way get the benefit of it and grow
strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shakers
have sent druggists for free distribution,
contain much interesting information on
the subject of dyspepsia.
Laxol is not mixture of Drugs 1t is
nothing but Castor OIL made palatable.

Pemberton plant though only two years
old was paying per cent. dividends and
laying up:a surplus besides

water to be consumed and of piping to be
laid, is almost an exact duplicate of what

! Before Judge Garrison, on Saturday, in
Camden, testimony was heard in the
case of the Mechanics National
Bank, of Burlington, vs. Mrs E1phemia
Halsey, nee Grubh, and General E. Burd
Grub, an action on contract, to recover
$4,000 due on a promissory note. The
note upon which the suit was brought was
made on November 4, 1895, by Miss
Grubb, and was made to her order, en-
dorsed by herself and her father. The
testimony of Mrs. Halsey showed that
she had made and signed the note for the
express purpose of helping her father out
of some financial obligations and that she
had never received any consideration for
SO doing. She claimed that she was in
formed by the president of the bank that
she would not have to pay the note.
The bank has collateral security, chat
tel mortgage covering lot of personal
property at Edgewater Park and a real
estate mortgage on some property in New
York city.
The chattel mortgage was made by
General Grub in favor of his daughter,
ard by her assigned to the bank. The
c4ortgage on the personal property was
made five days prior to her marriage to
Mr.. Halsey. President Pugh, of the
bank, testified as to the history of the
note, and said that no effort had been
made to foreclose on the mortgages. He
said Miss Grub was informed that she
would be held responsible for the amount
of the note when she signed it.
General Grub also testified to the facts
concerning the making of the note. The
defence claimed that the note was the re-
newal of an old one, and that this was
done to evade the Federal law, which pro-
hibits national banks from giving credit
for more than 10 per cent of their capital.
Judge Garrison suggested to counsel that
the last claim made by them as to the
new form of indebtedness should be
made as separate issue. After argument
in the matter the Court decided in favor
of the bank. Mrs. Halsey and Gen. Grub
were represented by Everett P. Wheeler,
of New York, and ex-senator w. D. Ed
wards, of Jersey City. Mark R. Sooy rep
resented the bank.

DEMAND FOR PENSIONS.
The Administration Overwhelmed by
40, 1863 Applications.

Washington, Aug. 20-In July, 1896,
applications for pensions aggregated
2,S0S. while in June, 1857, there were
20. 1863, largely for increases and for
widows and minor children Commits
sioner Evans to-day attributed this Large
increase of claims to two reasons The
first was that the hard times hail made
many men apply for pensions who had
not previously needed them, and the sec
ond was "the general feeling throughout
the county that the claims of the pen
sioners would be given more favorable
consideration by the present administra-
ton than hy the last He thinks the
high-water mark of pc nsions has been
reached, and that how the number of ap-
plications will begin to decrease.
