Total of Expenditures.

This is true, that for their Improvement
the university has, during the last five
years, expended not less than $4,000, all
of it for the good of the hospital no less
than that of the medical department. The
last expenditure is now scarcely completed
and is to accommodate the Nurses Train
ing School. This is the hard bargain we
have been driving.

a Case of hlankmaiI.

Bridgeboro has a case of blackmail
George Kohler called on Joseph Conover
and accused the latter of having insulted
Mrs. Kohler. The statement was accom-
panied with proposition to hush the
matter for money. Conovers reply was
in the shape of severe thrashing.
Kohler procured warrant from Justice
Rhodes for the arrest of Conover on a
charge of assault and battery. The lat
ter demanded hearing but at the hour
fixed for it Kohler failed to appear. Mrs.
Kohler dropped a shell into the camp by
certifying that her husband had conspired
with her to trump up the charge against
Conover, with the idea that they could
compel him to give them $500 to keep the
matter from becoming public.
On learning this, Conover swore out d
warrant for Kohlers arrest on the charge
of perjury and conspiracy. He was taken
before Justice Pinkerton, who fixed the
amount of bail, whereupon Kohler
started out with Constable Meeks to hunt
for IA bondsman. While thus engaged
Kohler broke away from the Constable,
jumped fence and managed to make his
escape. He has not yet been captured.

more than the players, prevented Mount
Holly from scoring.
Mount Holly's base ball team went from
home on Saturday, and met with bad
defeat receiving the first shut-out it has
ever had. Burlington's club did the bust
ness. Miller, who has been pitching in
some of the minor leagues, was in the box
for Burlington and did good work
Mount Holly touched him up for six hits
but were unable to bunch them. Mount
Holly went to pieces in the sixth inning,
Leonard starting with a dropped fly ball,
and Denness following with mutf of
thrown ball. Then the fireworks CON
tinued and Burlington scored seven runs
After that Burlington made but one hit
off Black, but the damage had been done.
The score follows:

We had hoped to be able to announce a
game of base ball with Burlington, on the
Mount Holly grounds for next Saturday,
but it now looks otherwise. The Burling-
ton management want all the cream for
themselves and are not willing to grant
any favors at all. Mount Holly went to
Burlington last Saturday at loss of about
$40, and the manager of the Burlington
team admitted that he cleared at least s.
by the game, to say nothing of the bust
ness done at the bar of the man for whose
Mount Holly management claim that the
next game should be played here as the
interest now aroused would draw enough
people to the grounds to reimburse some
of the loss entailed in going away. This
the Burlington manager will not agree to,
but insists that Mount Holly shall visit
his city at guarantee that will not cover
expenses, regardless of the fact that when
he visited the county seat he was given a
sum that not only paid all expenses, but
sent him home with neat sum in clear
money. Fear of defeat probably has more
to do with the action than anything else,
as he was offered guarantee that would
have allowed him to gohome considerably
ahead of expenses. The prospect of
another game is very poor If played at
all if should be at once with the same
teams that contested on Saturday Mount
Holly is ready.
There was much disappointment at the
failure of the Cuban Giants base ball clut
to fulfill its contract with the Mount
Holly Athletic Association on Wednes
day The date first fixed was Thursday,
but at the request of the manager of the
Cubans it was changed to Wednesday
In the morning a telegram was received
by the Mount Holly manager stating that
it was raining in New York and asking
that the game be postponed until Satur-
day This request was not granted. All
the arrangements had been completed fol
playing here, the game had been exten
sively advertised and the weather was
not so threatening as to make it appear
that the game need not be played. So an
answer was sent for the Cubans to come
at once. This dispatch was delivered al
II. 80 in the morning, and a train leaves
New York at one o'clock, so there was
ample time to get off; but at 1.30, toe
late to notify the Mount Holly players OF
the state of affairs, another telegram was
received announcing that the Cubans
could not come As matter of fact the
visitors had no right to do anything but
come to Mount Holly in accordance with
the agreement made early in the season
In that there was rain guarantee,
whereby it was stipulated that the Gu
bans would receive $35 if rain prevented
the game from being played So that
they could have come to Mount Holly
even in the rain and received the sun
named. In addition to putting the Mount
Holly management to trouble, it deprived
them of making some money, as there
was every indication of large GROVE
being present.

There were a series of serious lars in
the Rockhill family, and as result Vice
Chancellor Grey, in Camden, on Tuesday,
heard testimony in divorce proceedings.
The suit was brought by Martha Rockhill
against her husband, Elwood, who owns
"a large thrifty farm near Bordentown.
The woman's story was that her husband
was so cruel to her that she was compelled
to leave him; that he became intimate
with number of young women, with
whom he frequented dances and enjoyed
himself generally outside his own home
Mrs. Rockhill said that on one occasion
two years ago her husband had put their
12-year old daughter to work driving a
horse and rake in the hay field, and when
she went out to protest her husband VIC
lently assaulted her. Then she left him
Jacob Coon, middle aged farm hand,
gave unique description of the scene in
the hay field He was ON the wagon load
ing hay, and Rockhill was pitching and
the little girl, May, was operating the
rake. Mrs Rockhill came out and order
ed the child to get down and come to the
house
Mr.. Rockhill was going toward the
rake just as his wife was, said Coon,
"and pretty quick they came together.
(Which got there first p asked Attorney
Clarence T Atkinson, counsel for the
woman
why, it all happened at once, and
they went down together, with Rockhill
on top, said Coon Then he boxed his
wife's ears two or three times and told her
to go about her business, and l never
seen her about the place again" Continu-
ing, Coon declared that Rockhill had
bad temper and often roundly cursed his
wife when food on the table did not suit
him. why, she was the best house
keeper whose table | ever put my feet
under, he added
Ida Naylor, nervous young woman
from Jobstown, told how Rockhll had
danced with young women at parties
which she had attended and how she
went riding with him once or twice The
defence did not get chance to give its
side of the story, because the Vice Chan
cellor postponed the case until September
10. 1t was stated, however, that Rock
hill will endeavor to show that he was
goaded beyond all endurance by his wife's
ill disposition and that he never departed
from the paths of rectitude
