German and En- lish.
]. J. Hughes, of Brooklyn, N. Y, as
sumed an active interest in the Bidwell
hammock factory on September l. Henry
R. Ayres, of Philadelphia, the general
travelling agent, will start out on Novem-
Der l, and the force of employees will
then be increased from twenty-five to
about one hundred or more. The princi-
pal goods made by this firm are ham
mocks, school bags. horse cottonettes and
towelings. About 100, 900 hammocks are
made in year, which consumes the time
from November to June. The firm has
thirteen more looms now than when To-
Gated in Germantown, and with this 1t is
hoped to dispense with night work. On
October 2 Mr.. Bidwell will take a trip
through the west In the interest of a
special class of goods.
1t is very natural occurrence for Sher-
if Fleetwood to enter any of the stores
about town for the purpose of buying
goods, bat such occasions are not evidence
that the place has been seized on account
of financial troubles. False reports of
this character are not only injurious from
business standpoint, but are liable to get
the one who circulates them into trouble.
Just such case occurred last week when
the Sheriff and William II. Reeves went
into E. L. Prickett & Co.'S leather factory,
on Garden street, to purchase wallets sui
| table to carry their legal documents In.
They desired to make personal selection
and to take look at the growing business
which Mr.. Prickett has built up, and as
the size of the books was matter of some
concern. they went in person. A man
who saw them enter the yard at once
started false story which he may yet be
called upon to deny.

Constable Richard Lamb, of New Han
over, arrested Peter Donnelly, of Bir-
mingham. in Mount Holly on Tuesday,
for passing a worthless check on George
A. Smith, of Bordentown. The check
was drawn on the Freehold Banking
Company, and the representation that
Donnelly had money on deposit there
was false.
Some of the hands at E. L. Prickett
& Cos leather factory went out on a
strike Friday night, claiming that the
price on certain goods had been reduced.
Mr.. Prickett says the price paid for the
making of three different kinds of chains
was merely changed, which did not affect
the wages, and when this point was seen
a number of the employees went back at
once.
The election officers were in quandary
last week about their registry books, and
but very few had them. The law direct
ed that they should be procured from the
township clerk, but as he didn't have
them this was impossible. They were in
possession of the county clerk, having
been filed with him after the spring
election. These books were filed with
the township clerk last fall, and that
seems to account for the law being mis-
leading.
A Mount Holly lady, while riding on
the South Pemberton road one night last
week, met with an accident. She did moi
see an approaching team until she collided
with it. 1t was heavily loaded market
wagon drawn by four horses The two
leading horses turned out by instinct, and
the lady turned her wheel slightly. She
quickly Strengthened her course thinking
that the wagon had passed all right, but
she ran into the two pole horses. Although
knocked down, neither she nor her BIZ
cycle was injured.
