convenience to the travelling public.
The marriage of Anna Glover, daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. Joseph Shreve. and
Samuel Pharo Bartlett occurred at the
Friends Meeting House Thursday morn
ing, large number of relatives and
friends witnessing the ceremony. Nellie
Bartlett, of Atlantic City, was maid of
honor, and Ephraim G. Shreve, of Allan
tic City, was best man. The ushers were
Messrs Charles D. Gauntt, of Burlington;
Edward c. Leeds, Camden ]. Crawford
Bartlett, of Philadelphia, and Charles
Allen Bartlett, of Haddonfeld. The
certificate of marriage was read by Row
land ]. Dutton; remarks and supplica-
ton offered by John Dillingham;, of Phila-
delphia; Charles Rhodes, of Haddonfeld,
and Elizabeth Dunn, of Camden. After
the ceremony a reception was held at the
residence of the brides parents.
The hackmen of this city, who at any
time are not the best of friends, came to
an open breach late Wednesday night in
East Burlington. Ridgway Sherman,
while attempting to back his hack into
the platform, ran into the hack of Rufus
Price. This led to a fight between the
two men, when William Sherman, a
brother of Ridgway, endeavored to assist
the latter. At this point the three Broth
ertons, Albertus, William and Eugene,
rallied to the support of Price. The men
fought until exhausted, when hostilities
ceased. Magistrate Smith had the belli-
gerents before him Thursday morning.
Ridgway Sherman, who was severely cut
under the eye and also had his thumb
severely bitten, charged Price with the
assault and be was held under bail for
court. Albertus Brotherton was charged
by William Sherman with attempting to
stab him during the fight, and exhibited
his overcoat as evidence, the coat having
been cut from collar to tail. Brotherton
was also held under bail for court. The
hack business In this city for sometime
past has been monopoized by the Prices
and Brothertons, and they resent any in
reference, and when, about three months
ago, the Shermans put on a couple of
hacks the trouble began. and has periodi-
cally kept up since. The fracas of We'd
nesday night is thus far the most serious.

If we could trace dyspepsia to its source,
1t would lead back to our kitchens. In
fact, the secret OF good health is good
cooking. If we'll cooked. foods are par
TALLY dlgested; if poorly cooked, they are
less digestible than in their raw state. If
you are victim of faulty cooking; that is,
if you suffer from dyspepsia, the rational
cure must be looked for in an artifcially
digested food, and food which will at
the same time aid the digestion of other
foods. Such preparation virtually rests
the tired digestive organs. thereby restor-
ing them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by
the Shakers OF Mount Lebanon, is just
such preparation, and single 10 cent
bottle will convince you of its value. If
your druggist doesn't keep it, he will be
glad to get it through his wholesale house.
LAXOL is the best medicine for child
