James w. O'Brien, who keeps saloon
on Water street. is under bail on charge
of assault with a deadly weapon upon
William Glover, the barber.
Glover was at O'Brien's place last even
ing playing pool. O'Brien remarked
that he could place eight balls in pockets
in eight shots Glover offered to bet a
dollar that O'Brien could not do the act,
and the money was put up.
O'Brien then took cue and began
pushing ball into each pocket Glover
said this was not the proper way to try
the trick, and he grabbed several balls and
threw them ON the floor, claiming that as
there were not eight balls on the table he
had won the bet
The money was handed to him and
O'Brien at once objected, demanding the
return of his dollar. Glover did not give
it up at once and O'Brien became angry
and after calling Glover some ugly names
struck him in the neck.
Then O'Brien ordered the doors of the
saloon locked so that nobody could get
out He then went back of the bar and
picked up revolver, which he pointed at
Glover, and, with a vile epithet, threat
ened to shoot if the dollar was not given
up.
Glover handed the money over and at
once went to Justice Stacks, where he
had warrant issued for O'Briens arrest.
The latter was taken before the squire
about II clock, and was allowed to go
on his own recognizance to appear this
morning and give bail for his appearance
at court
He told justice Slack that he was only
in fun and did not intend to do any harm.
The squire refused to look at the matter in
that light and told O'Brien it was rather
serious fun to threaten a mans life.

is so narrow, that there is plenty of grad
ing material right at hand to make the
whole beach of sufficient height, without
any low spots or glades.
Deep sea fishing was never better, and
the off-shore fishermen bring in loaded
bank skiffs every day from the old
'wracks' at the outer bar. On Friday and
Thursday last the bluefish were running,
and everybody who could swing a squid
had his share of the sport. Some native
fishermen caught five barrels for market
with the squid in the surf The biggest
catch ON the whole Jersey shore so far
this summer was made with a squid by a
novice William King, of Haddonield
He had never before thrown squid, and
could hardly get his borrowed line out
into the first line of breakers, but he
managed to hook and land a 81 pound
striped bass. 1t was three feet six inches
long, and eleven inches deep. Big weak
fish are also biting in the lower bay.

Teaohers Cannot Withdraw.

Teachers belonging to the State Re
tirement Fund cannot withdraw from the
fund as long as they are teachers, accord
ing to an opinion given last week by At
torney General Grey, Superintendent
Baxter requested the opinion in view of
the many applications received lately
from teachers who desire to withdraw
There have been numerous applications
since the Governor vetoed the supplement
tai bill intended to strengthen the fund
The Attorney General holds that in join
ing the fund they participate in contract
which they cannot annul. For the fund
one per cent of the teachers salaries is
retained each month. There are about
2. 800 teachers not members of the fund.
The bill vetoed by the Governor was in
tended to allow a number of teachers to
join who are now shut out by law, not
having joined in time. The decision of
the Attorney General will result in the
managers of the fund asking for legisla-
ton from the next Legislature.

According to a celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 5000, 900 little glands
in the human stomach. These glands
pour out the digestive juices which dis
solve or digest the food. Indigestion is
want Of juice, weakness of glands, need
of help to restore the health of the organs.
The best and most natural help is that
given by Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Natural, because it supplies the materials
needed by the glands to prepare the diges-
tive juices. Because it strengthens and in
vigorates the glands and the stomach, I'M
til they are able to do their work alone.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indiges-
ton certainly and permanently. 1t does
so by natural means, and therein lies the
secret of its wonderful and UNMARRIED sue
cess.

Burke could not catch on Saturday, so
he acted as umpire, Troth being unable to
be present. Burke did not give decision
that would justify a kick, but the visit
ors growled just the same.
Thackara, who halls from Bristol, and
who is Il good allround man, took Burke's
position back of the bat ON Saturday, and
did well. Burke will play at first base
next Saturday, Denness resuming his old
place at second base.
The Westmoreland team that came here
on Saturday was not the team that the
manager of the Mount Holly A. A. en-
gagged. Early in the season the West
moreland club was "a strong aggregation
and was in city league. The latter dis
banded and the team must have gone with
it, Saturdays visitors were job lot.
The next two games of ball will be en-
tirely different from those of the past two
weeks. The Century Wheelmen is com
posed of ball players with experience.
Rutherford, who played third base for
Mount Holly last season, is with this
club and is putting up good game. The
Quaker City Wheelmen, who play here
on the Fourth, is another strong club
that has been playing good ball this sea
son.
The Mount Holly base ball club had an
easy time on Saturday. The visitors,
Westmoreland, got demoralized, and runs
were easily made by the home team.
Burke was unable to play owing to an
injured finger so he acted as umpire ow-
| ing to the absence of Edward S. Troth.
Thackara was placed behind the bat and
! filled the position creditably.

o. Qirnnlar.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
BUREAU OF PENSIONS,


WASHINGTON, d. c., June Is, 1898.
Recent investigation had by this bureau to
ascertain the methods employed by public
ofhc1als In executing pension vouchers, has
demonstrated an almost total disregard of the
laws and regulations governing the subject.
IL is clearly evidenced that the Illegal lax,
indifferent and perfunctory procedure now
ex tant has become a menace to the proper
and safe conduct OF the affairs OF this blu reau
so far as 1t relates to the payment OF pensions,
and special efforts are contemplated to cor
rect the existing abuses
While 1t is believed that many officials who
assist in the execution of pension vouchers
have no conception of their criminal liability
in the premises, it is equally certain that
many Others to secure an advantage IN the
numerical number of their clientage, know
ingly and wiltully resort to violations OF the
law.
To the end that the former class may profit
by this notice, this circular Is issued.
There can be no justification in the preva-
lent haste and laxity existing in many offices,
by which postdating, false certifcation,
false claim and ''stockm witnesses have be-
come factor in the administration and SC
acknowledgement of pension vouchers
1t is the intention OF this bureau where the
facts warrant such action, to institute crimi-
nal proceedings against the parties who in
dulge in these Illegal and irregular practices
and they are warned accordingly.
By following strictly the Instructions print
ed on each voucher, the matters complained
OF may be entirely remedied.
