According To the advance sheets of
the annual report of tho State Board of
Health, the income Of the clergymen
and Justices of the Peace in Camden
has fallen off materially during the
past year.
Last year the ministers married
4, 094 couples, while this year they tied
only eight hundred and twenty four
nuptial knots.
There has been n shrinknge Of 4, 1913
marriages. in the State, due to the en-
actment last Winter Of the Lloyd mur-
riage law, which appears to have work
ed the good that it was generally be
lieved il would.
New Jersey is no longer Gretna
Green. Boys and girls cannot come to
| this State now and marry in defiance
of their guardians, without meeting the
same requirements TINT are asked of
them in other States.
Prior to the enactment Of the Lloyd
law, advantage was taken Of the liberal
statutes Of New Jersey by thousands OF
| men and women every year, to whose
marriage there was opposition in then
own homes.
Formerly the marriage laws of New
Jersey encouraged Opponents, and to
what extent is shown by the fact that
since the Lloyd law went into effect,
only two hundred and sixty-two
couples from other States were married
here, as against 4 200 couples in 1897.
The clergymen and Justices Of the
Peace have no doubt, felt tho conse-
| quent falling off in their incomes, but
the gain to society has been far greater
than the loss to the knot-tiers.

While climbing up a hill at the
front of Pennsylvania company on
the bloody battlefield of Gettysburg,
Captain John Shields, now one of the
most Observation-Disclosures citizens
Pennington, fell almost wounded to
death. He was taken to an army hos
pital where the surgeons found that
/ bullet had passed through his wind
pipe, but they were unable to trace the
path of the missile through the tissues
of the body and remove it from its
lodging place. The brave Captains
life was in the balance for several DAYS,
but delicate operation and the best
nursing, supplemented by rugged
constitution, resulted in his complete
restoration to health.
Although the almost deadly missile
remained in the tissues, little or no
thought was given to it for many years.
An attack of rheumatism in one of the
Captains arms, however, recently led
to the belief that the bullet was to
blame, and surgeon in one of our big
cities was asked to locate the unwel-
come ledger by the aid of Mays. The
surgeon consented, and few days ago
the mysterious light was turned ON the
back of the Captain, when the bullet
was plainly seen. 1t was found to be
imhedded in the tissues near the right
shoulder. II will he photographed.
II it is decided, after careful study of
the case, that the rheumatic pains are
due to the presence of the bullet in tho
tissues, the Captain will submit to an
operation for its removal. Hunter

One of the linemen engaged in
running the telephone wires, had a
narrow escape from being electrocuted
in midair, at the corner of Bridge and
Union streets, early on Thursday
morning last. The man had gone mp
the pole to arrange some wires, when
suddenly he gave loud scream and
was seen to hang suspended by the
hands from one of the iron spike that
are used in climbing the poles, and
which had come in contact with one of
the heavily charged electric light
wires A large crowd soon collected
around and stood spell bound, expect
ing every minute to see the man fall to
the ground, forty feet below. In some
manner he managed to dig his spurs
into the pole, and released his hold
from the spike and came down the pole
in safety. The heavy current. said to
have been thousand volts, had burned
his hands badly, but beyond being
frightened, he was otherwise uninjured
His brother linemen had gathered
around the bottom of the pole TO catch
him if he had dropped

A short time ago, gang Of tramps
arrested by Trenton detectives at the
East Trenton coal chutes, were brought
to the Mercer County Work House,
three miles below here, to serve a
three months sentence. They were
supposed to have been connect ed with
the numerous hold-ups and other
crimes committed at the chutes, and
were looked upon as desperate charac-
tiers. The prison authorities had
trouble with them from the start. A
number refused to work in the quarry
and two Of them were handcuffed and
placed in a cell, on bread -and-water
diet. On Sunday afternoon last, q
delegation from the Presbyterian
Christian Endeayor Society of this
city, went to the prison to conduct the
usual Sunday service there. The two
prisoners who are the ringleaders of
the unruly element, did everything in
their power to break up the meeting by
cursing and yelling from their cell.
When the meeting was over, two guards
went to the cell to put stop to their
conduct. When the guards opened the
cell door and stepped inside, both pris-
oners attacked them and fought des-
perately. Other guards heard the com
motion, and after hard fight, in which
the guards were compelled to use their
blackiacks vigorously, the men were
overpowered and one of them rendered
senseless. 1t was found that both
prisoners had removed their handouts,
it is believed by the aid of file snug
gled to them. DIR. Romine, of this
city, was sent for and went down and
dressed the prisoners wounds.

III the city, was sold on Tuesday to a
syndicate of Newark capitalists, with
John +. Dryden, president of the
Prudential Insurance Company, at
their head. The stockholders of the
local company transferred their hold
ings to the purchasers on Tuesday
afternoon at the Offices of the Trenton
Safe Deposit and Trust Company.

$40 per share for the 1000 shares of
common stock. The principal holders
were James Moses, Gen. Il. A. Don

Company. The interests of these
