Looking For Evidenoe.

On Thursday night two strangers came
to Mount Holly and called on the chief of
police They were detectives from Wash
ington, d. c., and were looking for stolen
property that they had reason to believe
was in this town or had been here. They
were placed in charge of Officer Denness,
and made search of the place they had
in view, but did not succeed in finding
anything.
The detectives had in their possession
typewriter copy, covering several
pages, of property stolen from different
cities They also had some valuable jew
elry that they had recovered.
In addition to the desire to locate the
property the detectives hoped to secure a
man named Jim Butts, who is the pal OF
Bill Mason, notorious thief now con
fined in Moyamensing on several charges.
Butts reputed wife is a Mount Holly girl
who went to Washington some time since
to live. There she met Butts, and under
his instructions she soon became proficient
in ways of darkness, and it is said she is
one of the most skillful shoplifters in the
country She and her husband were il
Mount Holly about three weeks since.
This fact reached the ears of the Wash
ington authorities. They also got on the
track of some goods stolen in Brooklyn
and sent here The detectives did not gel
to Mount Holly, however, in time to cap
ture this booty, as it was at once reship
ped by Butts or his accomplish.

Riverside has organized foot ball
team. Harry Hoffman has been elected
manager
Base ball games on Saturday; Palmyra,

IS; Beverly, O. Delanco A A, IS; Anvil
A. A., ?.
Jones resumed his position at second
base for Burlington on Saturday He had
his bunch of errors with him and left two
of them in the score, besides striking out
three times.
Mickey" Brown pitched for Burling-
ton on Saturday, but the score against
him was so terrible he borrowed another
fellows name for the score published in
the city papers.
The game of base ball at Mount Holly
was omitted on Saturday in order to es-
cape mourning an Indebtedness of about
$50 Next Saturday the game will be
with a local organization and there should
be good attendance.
Mount umpired at Burlington on Satur-
day, and was so rank in his decisions that
even the Burlington people Missed him.
Mount, like pitcher Brown, appeared in
the account of the game in the city pa
pers under another name.
| Base ball will be resumed at the Fair
Grounds, on Saturday, when the Flore nee
L. IL III hac hal
clubs in the county are unusually strong
this year and Florence has fine team
This contest will be one of the best ever
seen on our diamond Ladies will be ad
mitted to the grounds free.
With the Camden team at Burlington
on Saturday was a colored man who was
pressed into service in right field owing to
the failure of the regular player to APP
pear The Burlington ''rooters" are great
guyers and they selected the colored mar
as IA target He took it good naturedly
and said: Il amt "A player Use only a
mascot l knows l amt dom nothin'
still Use maxim out bout as well as the
Burlington team is. In response to an
other lot of chaff he said MY, tina
Mount Holly team must be sloppy to lie
such a combination as this Burlington
gang beat EN-.
1t would have been better for Burling
toms base ball club had it come to Noun
Holly on Saturday, even if the latter die
want to make its own terms. If ou
friends from the neighboring city hac
come to the county seat they might no
now be weeping and wailing on &C
COUNT of the terrible drubbing they re
ceived at the hands of pickup" team
from Camden The latter simply showed
them under by the score of IA to 0. w
do not believe for moment that Burling
ton would have won the game here, bu
then they might have scored. 1t was to
bad to get such trouncing just as Tia
manager of the Burlington team ha
placed an order for new hats several size
: larger than those worn prior to the gam
with Mount Holly.

On Thursday night an entertainment
was given at the Manhasset, in aid Of the
Red Cross Society.
The Pennsylvania railroad company has
graveled and graded the railroad square
the grounds about the depot
Judge Joseph H. Gaskill has figure
head from wrecked ship that came
ashore so long ago that no one can remem-
Der what the name of the vessel was. The
figure head is the upper half of an Indian,
and it now sits in front of the Judges cot
tage, where passersby often stop to look
at it.
Charles A. Sims, the contractor, who is
grading the lower half of the borough,
has a steam scoop at work on the beach
hills, which takes a carload of sand, the
small car used for this purpose, at one
bite Three locomotives are used to trans
port the sand from the beach front to the
bay shore, where it is leveled out by
gang of laborers.
Fishing this week has been more than
usually is the case confined to the lower
bay, for reason that has not happened
before in years The heavy rains of the
past three or four weeks have swollen all
the tributaries of Barnegat bay until the
upper end Of the bay, instead of being ex-
tremely salt, as it naturally would be with
the prevailing southeast winds, has been
almost fresh water lake The fresh
water has extended well down toward the
inlet, making the fish leave their grounds
about Barnegat Pier and in Reeds Chan
mel, and even the Cedar Greek Point oys-
ter beds, for salt water in the inlet chan
nels. Hence the number of fish caught
have diminished, but the fish themselves
have been large.
There has been lots of yacht racing late
| ly in these waters A sneakbox race, off
Forked River, was won by Surfman Ed.
Penn, Cedar Creek, with Howard D. Van
SAINT, of Island Heights, second, and Law
yer Megargee, of Philadelphia, third. The
sneakbox is purely Barnegat bay inven-
| ton and it is only on the shores of the bay
that it has reached its greatest speed and
efficiency, although the lines of the sneak
box, with slight notifications, are now
used by Herreshoff, A. Carey Smith, and
all the big designers for their yachts, large
and small. The surfmen at the life-sav-
ing stations are perhaps the best sailors OF
these craft, and also the best builders, as
they depend upon them in the winter, in
the toughest of weather, to cross to and
from their homes in the mainland.
Another race was sailed on Wednesday
by larger yachts, off Island Heights, by
the new Yacht Club that has been organ
lied there 1t was won by the ''Vesper, -
built by Kirk, of Toms River, and owned
by F. F. Milne, of Philadelphia. Another
of Kinks yachts, the Mary E. owned
by DR. Leon Goble came in second The
"Carita, designed by Carey Smith and
built by Amos Lewis of Cedar Creek
was third She is owned by A. L. Null
ford The Hannah" which for two
years past has held the championship o.
