Elton Smith paid this place a visit on
Saturday, and left instruction for many

As an evidence of the improvement in
business, the II. B. Smith Machine Com

continue as during the past week, the en-
tire force will be treated likewise.
Quite a number went from here, on
Friday, to Centreton shad fishing, and

to another less fortunate than himself.
Billy accepted the fish with thanks, and
Immediately visions of a fine meal pos
sessed him. Fish are slippery things,
you know, and Billy, being rather close
to the well while removing the scales,
this same fish thought proper to slip in.
What we would like to know is, how
Billy made out with the second catch ?
Report has it that the platform over the
well had to be removed, and instead oil
using fishing tackle he thought best to
borrow and use a ladder.

A False RumnrI

A rumor was put in circulation il
Mount Holly in January by which the
reputation of one of our citizens was put
in jeopardy. Like other reports it died
and would probably have been forgotten.
but it was suddenly revived by a state.
ment within the past month that the re,
port had been verified.
The original rumor was that a resident
of Madison venue visited the Ridgway
house, Philadelphia, and went to bed
after turning on the gas with suicidal in.
tent.
This report spread with the rapidity
which is characteristic of such things, but
the person referred to was in sublime ig-
norance of the entire affair until about
two weeks since.
S. Budd Norcross, of Mount Holly, was
the man about whom the tongues of the
gossips were wagging. That he was sur.
prised and indignant when he learned OF
the fact is putting it mildly and he al
once began an Investigation with the idea
of discovering the author of such a cruel
and unfounded story. He is still at work
and a libel suit may yet be the outcome.
A letter to THE News from the CHIEF
clerk at the RIdgway House, states that
Mr.. Norcross has never spent a night in
that hotel. Sometime in December a man
stopped there, and was found IN his
room almost suffocated with gas. He
died before medical assistance could be
procured.
This mans name and residence were
on the register, and it is not apparent how
Mr.. Norcross' name could be connected
with the incident. He has been very
much annoyed during the past two weeks
by having numerous friends ~alluding tc
the affair. Another thing that bothert
him is that he has just become aware o.
the report. Had he heard it sooner he
would have at once stamped it as false.
In addition, we may add that at the
time this rumor gained publicity. Mr.
Norcross had not been in a Philadelphia
hotel over night within two years, anc
only nee since, aud then there wert

Burlington.

Thursday evening, about z O'Clock, as
John Dorsey, who lives on Federal street,
was cutting some wood the axe came in
contact with a wire clothes line that vas
stretched across the yard, and, instead of
splitting the piece of wood as he intended,
the axe descended on his head with con-
siderable force, and he is in consequence
suffering from a lacerated scalp. Although
the injury sustained causes much pain, no
serious results are anticipated.
On Saturday John Crook, Executor, sold
at public sale the two houses of which
Emeline McKim, died seized. Charles
Thompson got the Pearl street property
for $1160. The Dilwin street property
went to John E. White for $715.
Harry Phillips, Of this city, has per-
fected a marine bicycle, and a trial made
on the Silver Lakes was satisfactory, as
the machine rode the water we'll and con-
siderable speed was attained.
The fire department was called out on
Thursday evening. but when it reached
the box from which the alarm was struck
nobody seemed to know anything about
the fire. 1t seems that a mantlepiece in a
house on Clarkson street took fire, and
while the firemen were on the way to the
scene, the occupant of the house put the
flames out and then vent to bed.

Board OF Trade.

The Mount Holly Board of Trade or
ganized formally at a meeting of thu
members at the Court House on Wendes
day evening.
The committee on soliciting members
reported that 148 names had been secur
ed.
Prosecutor Budd, chairman of the com.
mlttee on nominations, recommended the
following officers: President, Charles
EVAN Merritt vice president, Charles K
Chambers secretary, Harry L. Walters
treasurer, John B. Davis directors, Amos
Gibbs, Charles A. King, Robert L. Nixon,
Edward d. Stokes, George D. Worrell'
Ellsworth n. Burtis, Charles Fl. Folwell,
John A. Bidwell, Mark r. Sooy, Joseph
Cross, Josiah w. Evan.
The nominations were received and the
officers elected unanimously.
Upon taking the chair, President Mer-
rift thanked the members for the honor
conferred upon him. He said he would
not attempt to outline the work of the
Board of Trade, because his ideas might
be crude and not in accordance with those
of the directors. One thing is certain,
however, and that is something should be
done to stimulate business in Mount
Holly, and the Board of Trade will use
lts utmost endeaVors to bring about that
result.
Josiah w. Evan called attention to the
loan and investment feature proposed to
be established in connection with the
board. He requested Rev. r. A. Rodrick
to again explain its details to the mem
bers, an outline of which was printed in
these columns last week. 1t is similar to
the ordinary building and loan a~ssocia-
kT4n NJ D41.s-1- -
quest, and urged upon the members the
necessity of literally subscribing for
shares of stock in the association if sue
cess is desired.
Edward D. Stokes said he had been au-
thorized by a citizen to offer free a lot of
ground along the railroad for any pro-
posed factory.
After a further short discussion in rela-
ton to the loan and investment feature,
the matter was referred to the board of
directors, and the meeting adjourned.

into the matter.

the case was perfectly plain and that tn,
man had not died from violence.

mains was made by the asylum physicians
and these came to the conviction tina

A RECOUNT Patitioned.

A petition is to be filed in the Burling.
ton County Court asking for the setting
aside of the recent borough election in
Riverton.
Some of the grounds for the contest are
1. A vote was rejected because it wal
not enclosed in an envelope.
2. A vote was rejected because IN the
envelope with it was found a notice O.
the death of Edward Lippincott.
3. A vote was rejected because it was
mutilated by the machine.
4. Lewis Williams, who voted last fall,
having had his name put on the registry
list by a certificate of removal from Gin.
naminson township, was refused the
right of suffrage, the board in revising
the list this spring having left his name
off.
5. That contestants for office were al
lowed inside the room and dictated tt
the board.
6. That the registry list used at the
election was made up from one of the
challengers' books instead of the pol
book, as required by law.
1t is claimed by the petitioners that as
municipalities of this size do not COM
under the ballot reform law, requiring
official ballots and envelopes, the ballot
cast without an envelope should havt
been counted.
They also claim that when a man il
registered and votes at the fall election il
is not necessary for him to register in the
spring.
The contest is for the office of mayor
and two councilmen-Messrs. Rudderow
and Perkins.
