TIMELY RESCUE.
A Chnd Almost Carried Down Into Mine
Breach.

While two children Of ex-Supervisor
Martin Mcclure, Annie, aged years, and
Edward, aged three years, were playing in
the yard at the rear Of their parents home,
on West Line street, last night there was a
sudden caviuR in Of the surface and the little
girl barely escaped being swallowed by it.
As she was sinking her little brother in
tuitively caught hold of her right hand and
held on to it as he and the little girl cried for
help. A neighbor named Daniel Gehris
heard the cries and hurried to the scene. He
pulled both children from their perilous posi-
tion when the earth was slowly sinking from
beneath his feet. One of the girls feet was
sprained by the pressure Of earth against it.
The breach made by the cave-in was two feet
wide and deep enough to have given the
child a big fall.

luck during his visit yesterday to Reading.
He lost his pOcketbook containing money aud
valuable papers, including several railroad

he left there in the morning. But when he
looked for it later it was gone. He has no
recollection Of running against anyone who
resembled pickpocket. He thinks he may
have dropped the purse and hopes to have il

Political Notes.

Benjamin Gratz, of Springfield, is a
candidate for Assembly.
The meeting of the Freeholders at the
aim house is generally looked upon as a
time when the nominations for the sue.
ceeding election are to be definitely set
tied. This year was an exception. The
enigma is farther from solution than it
was month ago. While Assemblyman
Wildes has not openly announced him
self as a candidate for Senator, he can
safely be considered as such. Numerous
friends all over the county are
urging him to make an active canvass,
and the demand is so strong that he can
hardly ignore it.
The Senatorial nomination is attracting
SO much attention that the question of a
member of Assembly has not been agitat-
ed much. Joel Horner, Director of the
Board of Freeholders, is the only person
to openly announce his candidacy. Free
holder I. Sherman Borden, of Willing
boro, and Charles Wright, Jr, of Mans
field, would not object to having Hon"
written before their names.
All eyes are turned toward Cashier
Haines just now. That gentleman is not
giving any information on the senatorial
question for publication, but he has lots of
it in his head just the same.
When the Republicans nominated Lem
uel Fisher for Coroner, there were several
who remarked that the party had made a
mistake. They evidently knew what they
were talking about

Board of FreehOlders.

The regular annual outing of the Board
of Freeholders and such taxpayers as
choose to avail themselves of the oppor.
tunlty to visit the almshouse, was held at
that institution on Wednesday There
was full attendance, over 400 people
taking dinner.
The meeting of the board was to have
been held at 10 o'clock, but there was an
unusual amount of business Of the stone
road committees to transact, and that de-
layed matters. When the board did con
vene it was only to read Steward Gas
kills report, then dinner was ready.
After dinner Judge Gaskill addressed
the board on the subject of committing
INDECENT insane patients. The Judge said
the law of 1895 had made great changes
in this procedure, and he had no doubt
many now confined owing to mental disa-
bility had been informally committed.
After carefully considering the matter in
company with Judge Armstrong, new
forms for commitments had been prepar-
ed and were now in the hands ofthe prin-
ters.
Judge Gaskill said that to procure the
commitment of an INDECENT insane person
it is necessary to show legal settlement of
the patient, which must consist of 10 con.
secutive years of residence If he has
such he must be sent to the county asy-
lum. if not, to the state institution at the
expense of the county which commits him.
One thing of importance should be done
by this county, viz, determine how many
patients can be accommodated at the aims
house. When the number is complete
send them to Trenton. 1t is quite prob
able this county is paying for patients
that belong to other localities. This also
should be looked into
The entire matter was referred to the
committee on insane and the solicitor.
Mr.. Conrow moved that the contract for
a stone road from Riverton to Riverside
be amended so as to strike out that part
which requires limestone dressing. He
had been informed that such dressing was
not necessary, and if not used the county
would save about 81, 400. The motion was
adopted.
Some time since Gov. GriQgs appointed
a commission TO estimate the value Of
the Camden, Ellisburg and Marlton turn
pike. which is about to be vacated under
state law. This commission notified the
board of its intended meeting, and asked
that representative of Burlington county
be present
The director appointed Messrs. Mitchell,
Evans, Darnell, Conrow and Horner to
look after the county's interest in the
matter.

Assessing Valuation of a Turnpike.

The commissioners appointed by Cover
nor Griggs to assess a fair valuation on the
Camden, Ellisburg and Marlton turnpike,
with view of its purchase by the Boards
of Freeholders of Camden and Burlington
counties, met Friday in the court house in
Camden. The commission is composed OF
Barton F. Thorn, Nathan Haines Clayton
E. Stafford, Ezra Stokes and Thomas E.
French.
The Commission organized by the cleo
Thomas E. French, Secretary Messrs.
Mark R. Sooy and Israel Roberts repre-
sented the turnpike company and Charles
K. Chambers, the solicitor for the Board Of
Freeholders, was the representative of
Burlington county. Camden county was
represented by Director Wolfe and Free
holders Anderson and Coles. After
consultation it was decided to hear the
turnpike company first, and the Com
mission adjourned to meet next Monday.
After the adjournment, Lawyer Cham
bers stated that he understood that the
road was bonded for $4,000, and asked
what effect the bonds would have as re.
CARDS the right of the Commission IN fix
ing value. Mr.. French, 10 reply, stated
that, under the act, the Commission was
appointed to fix just and fair value on
the road, and a road would not be
changed in value by their existence. The
Commission and those interested took
carriages and drove over the road for the
purpose of making personal inspection
of the condition of the road and bridges
The proceedings which we're begun Friday
are the first under the act of the Legisla-
ture which was passed at the last session,
authorizing the purchase of turnpikes.
When the commissioners have fixed
upon a valuation the state is called upon
to pay 33 1-3 per cent. of it; the property
owners 10 per cent. and the county the
balance. The law limits the amount
which county may expend in the course
of year. in the purchase of turnpike
to $4,000.
People living along this turnpike have
petitioned for its purchase, having become
tired of paying tolls. The road is about
IL miles long, three miles of it being in
the county.

When the coroners' bills were produced
there appeared to be an idea that there
was to be trouble, and the belief was
we'll founded.
Coroner Fisher had bill for $3.50, for
an inquest on the remains of Barney Nc
Coy, of BordentowD.
One morning body was found in the
creek at that place. The coroner took
charge of it and put it in grave as an I'M
known. Two days later lady made in
quiry for Barney Mccoy, who had been
boarding with her, but had been absent
two or three days. 1t was thought the
unknown man might have been Mccoy.
The coroner consulted Prosecutor Budd,
the body was disinterred, the identity of
the man revealed. an inquest was held
and Barney was again buried.
The committee on coroners' bills refused
to approve Mr.. Fishers claim in this case,
because there had been two burials and
the charges seemed to be mixed up. The
county was charged SIS, and Borden
town undertaken had bill Of $35 for the
4
same service under the law regulating
burial of soldiers. In addition to this it
was known that Mccoy had his life in
sured in the interest of person who had
agreed to pay the funeral expenses and
the deceased had about SIS pension
money due him at the time of his death.
In view Of these circumstances it was
held that the county ought not to pay
, any of the expenses connected with THU
burial. The matter was referred to the
solicitor.
} Another bill of Coroner Fisher was fol
viewing bodies of men killed by cars a
Burlington. On one Of the bodies Their
was watch and Sc, which had been takel
care of by the coroner. A motion wa
made that the value of the watch and tn
9 SIS be deducted from this bill, but it wa
0 ruled out of order.
Next came an objection on Corone
Stroud's bill for viewing the body of Am
7 brose Bishop. Mr.. Fairbrother exhibits

Superintendent John c. Price, of the
Tuckerton Railroad, has been trying some
experiments OF his own this summer in
the dust laying line on the seventeen
miles of track through the pines from
Writings to Barnegat This has been
the terror of travellers for years past, be-
cause of the dust and dirt. Superintend-
ent Price has tried the oil sprinkling
scheme as in use on the West Jersey Rail-
road and also one of his own-salt. A
sprinkling of thick brine has not only
laid the dust for time, but the salt at
tracts the moisture in the air and keeps
the sand sprinkled as it were. The
scheme has worked well this summer with
the air all the time saturated with moist
ure but whether either the salt or the
crude petroleum would work so we'll in a
dry summer is still mooted question
there having been sufficient rain to keep
the tracks in fair condition.
