FATAL FIGHT FOR CHARITY.
Jack Cummings Dies from Blow
Dealt by Walter Grimn.


NEW ORLEANS. LA, October a.
Jack Cummings and Walter Griffin, local
men, spared before the New Tulane
Athletic Club last night, the affair being
a benefit for the INDECENT yellow-fever pa
tients and families in this city. Both
men fought hard, and soon became ex-
hausted. In the fifteenth round Griffin
hit Cummings a hard punch. He sank to
the floor and was removed to a hospital,
where he died at AIS this morning. phe
cause OF death was hemorrhage Of the
brain. Griffin was also badly punished.
but this forenoon recovered sufficiently
to warrant his removal to court.
Cummings had been married but seven
months.
The fatal termination Of the fight may
have an effect on the scheme TO revive
boxing contests, and may prevent the
McPartlin-E yerhardt fight on Monday
night next.

Snioida at Pamhartnn.

Miss Abbie Coombs, living with her
uncle, William Early, near Pemberton,
shot herself on Wednesday. Miss
Coombs had been suffering with mental
troubles for some time, and 1t had been
decided to take her to Philadelphia to see
a specialist.
Wednesday was the day fixed upon and
it is thought this fact preyed upon the
young woman's mind to such an extent
as to cause her to commit the deed. After
breakfast she went up stairs and getting
her unele's revolver, shot herself in the
breast. She was living when found, but
died soon after.
Miss Coombs was buried in the Baptist
burial grounds at Pemberton on Saturday.
The remains were followed to their last
resting place by large number of friends
Rev. ]. c. Buchanan, of the Baptist
Church, of which deceased was member,

at Cranbury Station Thursday. The bride
and groom were the recipients of hand
some oak rocker and silver soup ladle.
Thieves entered the station at Kinkora
Friday night. AS it is not the habit of
the agent to leave anything of value in the
Office, nothing was taken. Broken glass
and blood stained wood work told the
tale next morning.
Cupid has been working quite lively
among the young men and maldens of our
little village. The contracting parties this
time are Harry c. Carly and Miss Ida
Haines, making the third wedding to &C.

A very pleasant surprise was extended
to Budd Keller, one of our oldest citi-

birthday. 1t was a complete surprise,
and both Mr.. and Mrs. Keller enjoyed
congratulations of the guests.

in the hall, some one stole his horse and
wagon from under the sheds. Mr. Earl
went to get his horse some time between
ten and eleven o'clock, but as no horse
was there he Immediately gave the alarm.
Officer Thompson started in pursuit,
and it was some time before he could get
on the track of the parties who took the
horse. At last he found out in which di-
rection they had gone and then he start
ed that way. He had only gone short
distance before he came across the ami
NAL. 1t was on the way home and was
very tired. Mr.. Thompson tracked the
horse to the road leading from Lemon
town across to New Lisbon.

Flag Raising.


The Junior Order of American Me-
chanics had a gala afternoon Saturday,
when they presented Burlington county
with an American flag which is to fly
from the top of the Court House,
Headed by the Gibbs band the men,
bers of the order marched from the hall
on Mill street to the Court House. In
the line was a detachment of the Sons of
Veterans The large flag belonging to
Washington Council was carried in the
procession.
At the Court House, after the band had
played tHail Columbia" 80 pupils of the
Mount Holly public school sang and re-
cited patriotic selections.
The flag was then run to the staff, which
was erected on the building some time
since, and when near the top it was I'M
urled by the wind and hundreds of little
flags were thrown into the crowd below
The band played and the Sons of Vet
Grams fired salute.
Joshua Matlack, Jr., presented the flag
to the county. He said it had very prop
erly been concluded that it would not be
inappropriate to have the banner of the
Nation floating from the edifce of Justice,
hence the Burlington county branch of
the Junior Order of United American
Mechanics had by voluntary subscrip
lions, erected upon the dome of this
grand old pile an emblem of strength and
durability from which they propose that
Old Glory shall float as long as there is
left one stone upon another, to be a con-
slant reminder to the passerby that be or
she lives. moves and has their being in
the land of freedom, of equality and OF
justice, to call their attention increasingly
to their rights and to their duties to their
God, their county and their fellow men,
Mr.. Matlack delivered fine address,
full of instruction and patriotism.
DIR. Abram E. Conrow, a member OF
the Board of Freeholders, received the
flag on behalf of the county. He ex-
pressed the thanks Of the county for the
gift of flag which, since it was FIRST made
by Betsy Ross, has always represented the
principles of liberty, and will ever con-
tinue to do SO. At first it was a symbol
for the use of armies in war times, but
now it equally symbolizes peace by float
ing over school houses and public build
ings. DIR. Conrow promised that the flag
should always float from the staff pre-.
pared for it.

The game of football advertised for
Mount Holly last Saturday did not come
of, the Stentonworth team falling to ap-
pear. The out-ot-town clubs appear to be
afraid of Mount Holly.
The Camden Athletic Clubs football
team will play here next Saturday. There
is no danger of this club disappointing us.
They have beaten us once this season and
are anxious to repeat the transaction.
The Bordentown Military Institute
team and a team from Velucia Academy
of Philadelphia, played a game of foot
ball on Saturday afternoon, resulting in
favor of Bordentown Military Institute by
a score of 10 to s.
The football team of the Burlington A
A. won signal victory over the crack
Spaulding A. G. team of Philadelphia. Sat
urday afternoon. The score was to A.
The admirers of the Spaulding team came
up with moaey to bet at 2 to l that they
would defeat the Burlington team to 0.
Riverton gave the strong Camden A. A.
football team close game Saturday, iorc
ing the team to safety and holding them
down to one touchdown. Referee Viii
lard's decisions were questioned several
times, as was one of Umpire Chew's and
an hour was lost in argument. Ehrei
made Camdens four points, Perkins miss
ing goal. Riverton's safety was made on
block kick, which Peterson caught and
was downed behind the goal. The score
was to 2.

Political Notes.

1t takes some people a long while to
learn a simple lesson.
Last fall the total vote polled in the
county was IA, 1865. This year it was r..
642, falling of of 1924.
The vote this year resembles that Of
1891 very much. Then it was II 1897, this
year 1852. Perkins got 527 plurality,
Packer GIG.
Joshua E. Borton has probably dIscov-
cred by this time that there are some
people in this county who are less harm
ful against you than they are with you.
The returns show conclusiyely that this
county is good for at least 1000 Repub.
lican majority even in an ''of year." II
the would-be bosses keep their hands off.
Sheriff Fleetwood was the first man to
cast ballot in the first ward on Tuesday.
He was about the polls much of the day,
showing the workers how they did the
business over in Burlington.
William Kiner, of Water street, who is
in his S3d year, is probably one of the
oldest voters in Mount Holly. When he
cast his ballot on Tuesday, it completed
his sixty years of voting in this town.
Whatever other lesson the election OF
last Tuesday taught, there is one thing
that cannot be denied. The people do
not want any more of Budd Deacon's in
reference in Republican politics.
The new ballot boxes that were used on
Tuesday for the first time proved quite an
attraction to many voters, especially the
method of putting the ballots in tubes
They are great improvement over the
old boxes.
"Papa" Gibson, who ran for Auditor,
was very much interested in the result of
the election, and every time returns came
in he first inquired about the majority
concerning himself. Joe got so warm
from anxiety that he sat on fire plug
until the water boiled.
When the polls opened on Tuesday
morning the ballot box in the first ward
was found to be securely locked In the
Adams express office by reason of the dead
latch having snapped during the night
1t was necessary to break in the door to
get it, and this was done by Joseph Ell
bertson.
When one of the candidates for State
Senator in this county was about to enter
the contest for nomination he called on
John Kean and asked for his support.
The reply was that Mr.. Kean had friend
in this county who had always successful
ly conducted his campaigns and he should
have to advise with him now. He named
the ex-Marshal as that successful manager.
Maybe he wishes he had depended on
someone else now.
