A very sad drowning accident occurred
at Browns Mills on Thursday afternoon
about five o'clock William Small, of
Philadelphia, was spending his two weeks
vacation there. He had just learned to
swim the day before and ventured out
over his head. When he discovered the
depth he was in, he lost his presence of
mind and sank to the bottom of the lake
He was under the water about half an

eighteen years of age. Coroner Grober

seeming devoted to each other. About
three months ago, James Paradine went to

maze SO pleasant for him that he seemed
to think it his duty to pay particular at
tention to the wife of the man who was
sheltering him. This created some talk and
Mr. Woodward demonstrated with his
wife, who repealed all insinuations of
wrong doing and devoted herself to her
family. On Thursday Woodward started
for his work, leaving everybody in a
happy mood. When he got home at
night he found that his wife had fled. A
note left on the table stated that Mrs.
Woodward had discovered she had made
a mistake in marrying and that her love
for the boarder was far beyond any she
ever entertained for her husband Conse-
quently she babe him an affectionate fare

The Committee on Court House and
Grounds were directed to remedy this
matter.
Mr. Jones then directed attention to the
fact that this meeting had been called to
consider the trolley subject. The opinion
of Solicitor Chambers had been heard and
he suggested that the representatives of
the trolley companies be allowed to make
such statements as they desired to.
Mr. Beldon said he had communicate ed
with the officers of the company he rep
resents and they desire to put in new
application. As the maps and other
papers now on file in the Clerks office are
of no value to the county but would be of
great benefit to him, he asked permission
to withdraw them This was granted and
the same action was taken on request of
Prosecutor Budd, representing another
trolley company
Mr.. Goldy then asked very important
question He wanted to know who was
going to pay the members for the days
service As the meeting was an adjourn
ment it was decided that the county was
responsible. This seemed to meet the APP
