The top dressing of sand given ia the
South Pemberton stone road has created
considerable discussion and there are
many inquiries on the subject, some of
which are very pertinent.
This road is still in the hands of the
contractor, who is under bonds to keep it
in good repair and to give it top-dressings
of stone whenever required This he has
done and will continue to do. w. Henry
Goldy, of Mount Holly, is employed by
the contractor to look after the road. He
put the sand on it, and did SO at the sue-
gestion of State Commissioner Henry l.
Budd.
That officer is giving much attention to
roads and to their treatment In his
travels in other sections he noticed that
sand had been used to great advantage in
top dressing Knowing that Goldy had
charge of the road he suggested trying the
experiment of putting sand on to see if it
would work into the creyIces and pack
the stones together.
The road is still under the. supervision
of a committee-Messrs Colby, Younker,
Simons, Smith and Homer The ques-
ton naturally arises who has Jurisdiction,
but there is no doubt that the county Off
Gals are bound to see that the contract Is
carried out. If it is not the balance due
on the price of the road should not be
maid

The Late Rev. DR.. Miller.

The following sketch of the late Rev.
DR.. Miller. so long pastor of the
Mount Holly Presbyterian church, ap-
peared in "Penn's" article in the
PHILADELPHIA EUening Bulletin of Saturday
last 1t was written by former pupil of
DR.. Miller:
Dear Penn Your correspondent, IS. C.
H." in Saturdays Bulletin, writing of the
blind preacher" in Wirt's British Spy
says of Professor Samuel Miller, D. D., of
Princeton Theological Seminary 81
think he only had two sons" naming
them. DR.. Miller had another son, Sam
uel Miller, D. D., the founder of the West
Jersey Collegiate School at Mount Holly,
of which he was the principal for many
years. At the same time he was pastor of
the Mount Holly Presbyterian Church,
and of the church of his denomination at
Columbus, in the same county Toward
the latter part of his life he abandoned
the school, but continued his pastorate of
the church in Mount Holly. During the
last named period he established a church
at Tuckerton, ION the Shore" travelling
from Mount Holly to that town through
"the pines" on horseback in all kinds of
weather, on stated days The last four
years OF his life he was pastor of the
church at Oceanic, on the Jersey coast.
He died at Mount Holly few years since.
He was bachelor. DR.. Miller was a man
of marked ability, polished manners and
great force of character-a conservative in
all things. So persistent was he in his
opposition to the reunion of the two
branches of the Presbyterian church, that
when that event was assured, though not
formally consummated, he wrote and
published an elaborate and able pamphle
setting forth the "old SCHOOL, side of the
controversy. He was the author of a
biography of his father, IN two volumes,
octave, entitled, "The Life of Samuel
Miller, D. D., LII. d., Second Professor
in the Theological Seminary of the Pres
byterian Church, Princeton, N. j., by
Samuel Miller )" and published by a

Mount Holly's ball club covered itsel
with glory, on Friday, by defeating the
original, genuine Cuban Giants in an ex,
citing game. The home nine played fast,
errorless ball, and it was too much for the
colored gentlemen.
Stecher pitched a star game, allowing
the visitors only two hits. He had them
guessing during the entire nine innings,
notwithstanding they made desperate
effort to hit the ball.
Stecher's support was gilt-edged. Dem
ness, Gleason and Leonard had difficult
chances and accepted them all with neat
ness and dispatch. Kingdom caught
long fly in the eighth inning. cutting off
at least one run.
Perkins appeared on the Mount Holly
nine again and distinguished himself by
making three clean hits.
The Giants played their usual fast game
and created considerable amusement for
the large crowd present by their antics
and funny remarks.

William Heileman died at Burlington,
on Wednesday. He was at one time one
of Burlington's best base ball players.
On Saturday, at Palmyra, the game of
base ball was between Palmyra and Erie
A. A. The former was successful-l0 to
6.
Owing to the tests being made on the
Burlington branch it was impossible to
get special trolley service for the Cuban
Giants game.
Penryn A. A. defeated Delanco A. A.,
at base ball on Saturday, but it took 10
innings to accomplish the work. The
score was TO 3.
A game of base ball was played at Gin
naminson, on Saturday. between the NJ &
J. Neither and the H. NJ. lowering. Score
IL to 10 in favor of the former.
Next Saturdays game of base ball in
Mount Holly will be with Clermont, of
Philadelphia, which club defeated the
home nine early in the season.
Next Thursday there will be a fine
game of base ball at the fair ground be-
tween the Mount Holly team and the New
Egypt club. The latter has secured as its
pitcher, Jack McFetrdge, one of the best
in amateur circles. In order that the Wis
itors may catch their train the game will
begin promptly at 2 As.
New Egypt's base ball club played
an exciting game with Hlghtstown
on the formers grounds on Thursday
Both teams had been much strengthened
for the occasion, and each side was conf
dent of winning. McFetridge pitched for
New Egypt, and gave three bases on balls
and had four hits made of his delivery
Seeds, late of the South Jersey League, oc-
cupied the box for Hightstown Eight
hits were made off him. The pitching
honors were about even until the ninth
inning, when Seeds weakened and New
Egypt made three hits in succession,
which, with an error by West, netted
three runs and won the game. Up to
that time it looked very much as if flights
town would win, they having scored two
runs in the sixth, and had kept New
/ Egypt's hits scattered.
The features were the fielding of Turner
and Field, the batting OF Cook, and the
fielding and batting of Crump.
The attendance was good, the umpirine
was impartial, and it was an excellent
game to witness.
