Yesterday the Burlington authorities
sent to Mount Holly a man who had
neither legs nor hands. Mayor McNea
gave him recommendation calling fol
the sympathy of the people of the county
Officer Severns found the man on King
street, somewhat under the influence OF
liquor and begging, with his trousers rolled
up in order to show his artificial limbs
The fellow was deported back to Burling-
ton with the message that Mount Holly
was not a dumping ground for all the
rubbish in the county.
Society people are requested to keep
their eye open for man giving the name
of George G. Miller, of Chicago The
fellow is a member of the Masons, Junior
Mechanics and Knights of Pythias, and
recently he sought assistance from the K.
of P, at Mount Holly, which lodge dona-
ted SO. 80 to assist him in getting to Long
Branch. The next morning member of
that lodge discovered the man working
the same game on a member of the Mason
ic lodge. The latter gentleman was not
flied of the action of the Knights of Pyth-
las and then the stranger was given the
cold shoulder He is evidently an i'm
poster.

There was no little excitement on Water
street yesterday morning. Two trampS
wandered down thatway, and while I'M
der the influence of liquor began to beg,
and when they came to house that was
not well protected they entered it and
made themselves at home. Officer Sew
ems was sent for and in a short time he
captured Thomas Corners. The fellow
resisted arrest, and kicked the officer a
severe blow on the right shin, causing a
painful wound When he was landed in
| Jail the policeman returned and soon he
scooped in Frank O'Neill alias 'Reddy,
| a very tough character O'Neill had
gained entrance into the residence OF
| George Durand He became very abu
| sive, and as he passed out of the store he
x
rand cut this business short by knocking
the intruder down with pretty stiff blow.
When he was thrown out in the street
Policeman Seyerns had his hands full B
O. Herbert came to his assistance an6
helped the officer put the nippers on the
prisoner While this process was going
on ONeill tried to stab the officer with
knife. He was finally landed in jail aftel
much difficulty. After being attacked
the officer did not use any weapon, as hi
might have done, but he struck thu
tramp powerful blow with his fist but i
didn't seem to have much effect. Justict
Laumaster gave the two men thirty days
Complaint will be made against them be
fore the grand jury and it is hoped tina
they will be sent to Trenton. O'Neill i
the same man who about two years ago
| assaulted Captain Branson. who was lait
up for week from the injuries which h
received.
