FATAL ACCIDENT.



Joseph r. Risley, of Linwood, met
with fatal accident, Thursday morn
ing, in Atlantic City. While walking
along the West Jersey and Seashore
RailI Dad tracks at Baltic and Indiana
avenues he was struck by the motor
train which left Tennessee avenue ct
8 % A. NJ, and instantly killed. The
wheels passed over him and nearly
severed the body in twain. The engipeer
saw him alongside the track and New.
the whistle to warn him of the appSbdch
of the train. Mr.. Risley evidently did
not hear or see the train, for he stepped
over between the rails only moment
before it struck him. He fell beneath the
wheels and was dead when the train
was stopped. Mr.. Risley was about 65
years old and was a highly-respected
citizen, and was postmaster at Linwood
for several years.

The West Jersey and Seashore Railroad
Company should provide more cars Sat-
urday evenings on the train that leaves
Atlantic City at eleven O'Clock. At that
hour there is always plenty of empty
cars in the train yard, and it is only the
work of a minute or two to put on cars
enough to accommodate the big crowds
that come off shore every Saturday
night in pleasant weather. The road
that does so much and so well should do
q little better and give good accommoda-
tiOns to all it's patrons.

A Marvellous Memory.

F. N. Innes, the celebrated band leader
OF the artistic aggregation which bears
his name, has taken the people of Nash
vile, Tenn, by storm by the wonderful
interpretations of master works that
his musicians are giving at the Exposi-
ton now being held in that city. The
press are overwhelming in their praises
of the great leader. The following is an
extract from the Nashville Sun:
"Innes is the band and the men are
simply the instruments upon which he
plays. The musicians know only their
own score. The leader is supposed to
know the score of all. Innes does every
note it. 1t may be said that musically
and also physically the members of
Innes' band are the reflection of the
leader. The agent will tell you that
when "the old man" is nervous or ir-
ritable the men manifest the same
spirit. If he flags in his interest in the
music the men flag. 1t may have been
noticed that 1nnes directs whole con-
cert without a score. He reads from
memory except when he is giving some
sort of comparatively new piece. Neces-
sity being the mother of invention it
seems as if this feat of memory were a
necessary part of Innes' system of band
direction, for it would be next to i'm
possible for him to give attention to a
written score and at the same time
guide every man of his band. Innes has
1000 pieces in his repertory. The
score of each one is forever green in his
memory. He has been known to direct
his band through six weeks exposi-
ton engagement, where the programmes
changed twice day, without seeing q
sheet of music"

People who have been obliged to 90 to
Mays Landing to transact legal business
have often complained of the incon-
venient location of the County Seat, and
the tedious delays owing to a lack of
proper railway communicatiOn-but q
new danger now awaits them. A dis
patch to the Philadelphia papers of Mon
day says
..While out huckleberryiDg in a dense
swamp near this place Saturday, Samuel
Carr ran across large black bear. Carr
had picked q number of quarts of berries,
and was working his way farther into
the swamp when he saw the bear
crouched behind q thick clump of bushes.
The man dropped his berries and ran
for some distance, and then finding that
he was not pursued, ventured back,
armed with large club. The bear up
on his temperance gave chase, and
Carr lost no time in getting out of the
swamp.
A hunting party will endeavor to
capture the bear today"
Oh, isn't it awful to think that we
may be eaten up by bears when we go
to Mays Landing to get deed recorded
or attend the County Court? The
County Seat must be moved to Pleasant
vile as soon as possible. 1t will never
do to let big black bears chew up our
County officials, and Editor Shaner, too.

A FOUL SORT OF DEFENCE.

William Bender, a little ten year old
urchin. was held in the General Sessions
Court yesterday afternoon for robbery.
Assistant Prosecutor Noonan said in his
opening that the boy was allowed to become
wild. His parents took no care of him and
he was allowed to grow up in crime. The
best thing to do with him would be send him
TO the Reform School.
The robbery of which Bender was accused
was committed near the merry-go round
in Warren Street. Mullane Wiley, a ten
year old boy who lives at No. 444 Jersey
Avenue, went to the merry-go-round with a
boy named Mullery. As hey were coming
away Bender and a gang of young hoodlunis
held them up and robbed Wiley of fifty
cents, a pair OF mitts and a bail. Wiley
could not tell which of the boys robbed him,
but it was Bender who suggested to hold
them up.
Lawyer Carey, who defended Bender, tried
to convey The impression TO the jury that
Wiley mad spent the fifty cents and appar
emily succeeded for the jury acquitted the
defendant despite the evidence.
