about an open grave.

Damage Shit.

There was an interested audience in
Justice Clevenger's Office on Saturday to
hear the case of Fl. H. Earnest vs.. c. Eos
ter Cox. The suit was the result of the
accident in April whereby Adam Musick
was killed while at work laying gas pipes
in trench at the corner of Main and
Broad streets, Mount Holly
Mr.. Earnest's claim was that Mr. Cox
had promised to pay the funeral expenses
of Musick, but the bill had not yet been
paid, although it had been presented to
Cox, who refused to settle. In support of
this claim Earnest offered several wit
nesses who heard conversations between
plaintiff and Cox, in which the latter
agreed to bear the expenses.
With this assurance Mrs Musick gave
orders for the funeral Mr.. Cox agreed
to be at the depot on Sunday morning and
pay the railroad fares to Sunbury. He
was not there and the undertaken ad-
vanced the money, giving his check for
the amount.
objected to it, saying he had only agreed
to pay $50, thinking that sum would be
sufficient. He also discovered that the
dead mans life was insured for $500. Mr.
Earnest's bill was for $164.3S. In this
amount there was 500 for railroad fares,
and $15 for services of undertaken through
Philadelphia.
The defence was "gratuitous promise, !"
one given without any compulsion, hence
one that could be rescinded at any time
Mr.. Cox admitted having agreed to pay
the expenses, but on the morning follow
ing the accident he had gone to Earnest
and told him that he would not be re-
sponsible for more than $50. He also
claimed his promise to pay had been tax
en- advantage of, and that the expenses
were greater than they would have been
otherwise.
One point in the evidence of Cox was
that Earnest had said to certain parties
that he did not intend to lose his money
and should look to Mrs. Musick for pay
ment Characterization brought out
the fact that Earnest had made this re-
mark because Cox refused to pay the bill

PENDANT Justice Clevenger rendered his
decision this morning, giving verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for $50.

There was quite disturbance at the
Chinese laundry on Main street, Sunday
morning. 1t grew out of the fact that
the tall man, whose name, like all the
proprietors Of this establishment, is Mock
Ock, and who will sail for China this week,
refused to pay the sfat" Celestial some
money due him. The matter ended in
fierce fight in the back yard where the
men went at it like two game cocks. FL
nally the corpulent ironer got hit on the
nose which made him cry, but we are not
at liberty to repeat what he said. James D.

from a rear window, threw salt on the

light on the platform. In few minutes
quite number of these unwelcome visit
ors were circling around him too close for
comfort, and presently he discovered that
swarm had taken possession of the cable
box. Joseph at once summoned all his
politeness. He lifted his hat in recogni-
ton of their presence, talked assuringly
to the busy bees and sang a song to them
He spoke of their nice home and said they
could remain there rent free, but all the
while Mr.. Shreve kept an eye on their
business end as he gradually descended
the pole. Upon reaching the ground he
brushed aside the perspiration that had
collected upon his brow, and then his
tone changed like this: "Confound those
measly little intruders; I'll soon rout them
out Of that box, you bet, and now JOS
eph is figuring on the best method to get
rid of them.

MOUNT HOLLY 8, FLORENCE 0.
1t requires considerable skill and much
GOODNESS to win game of ball at Florence.
The crowd there is very noisy and exceed
ingly partisan; and if there is any DISPOSE
ton whatever in the visiting team to get
ratified, Florence is the place par excel
lence to develop it. Happily Mount Holly
had steady, ball playing team on Satur-
day, and won the game by superior all
round work, shutting out Florence.
Pitcher Wilson was as steady as a clock
and paid no attention to outside talk. He
kept the hits well scattered and was ap-
parently at his best at critical stages. He
also felded his position well and showed
good judgment at the bat.
Both teams gave exhibitions of fast,
clean fielding, and it was a delightful
game for the spectators, exciting until the
finish.
Cook was effective except in the eighth
inning, when he gave base on balls that
was followed by three hits, netting two
runs. He struck out only three batters
during the game, Mount Holly finding
the ball quite regularly but not often
putting it out of the reach of the fielders.
Mount Holly scored it's first run in the
fourth, and for time 1t looked as if the
run getting would end there. In that
inning, Logan reached first on an error by
Cheeseman. McClurg also hit the ball to
Cheeseman, who threw it to second and
retired Logan. McClurg stole second and
got to third on a wild throw to second by
catcher Carmen. Dunn hit long fly to
West, upon which McClurg scored before
the ball was felded to home. Green
singled and Carfrey struck out, retiring
the side.
In the eighth Kelly was caught out on
long fly to Mccormick. Logan got
base on balls and stole second. McClurg
singled to centre field, scoring Logan.
Dunn was out on sky-scraper to Nc
Cormick, upon which McClurg advanced
to second. Two out Wilson singled
scoring McClurg. Wilson asked for a
runner and Dunn was named Green got
hit, advancing Dunn to second The
latter was put out by Swetman while I'M
wisely trying to steal third, which ended
the inning and the scoring.
The features outside of the pitching
were the fielding of Logan, the base run
ming and one-handed stop of line fly
by McClurg, and the batting and fielding
of Freeman Logan, Carfrey and Nc
Clurg made fast double play in the
fourth.

BEVERLY 8. BuRLINeroN /.

Burlington suffered its second defeat at
the hands of the Beverly aggregation.
The game took place at Beverly, and the
attendance was larger than usual.
McFetridge, for the first time this sea-
son, pitched an entire game, and he was
very strong and effective. Marquart, Bur
lington's new pitcher, also did good work.
Ellis put up star game at third and hit
the ball for home run, the only one
made bv Burlington.

stone Road Troubler.

All the trouble over imperfect building
of stone roads is not confined to the dis
trict in charge of Supervisor Davis. In
Mansfield township the contractor has
been complaining that the farmers who
are doing the carting Of stone and other
material do not load heavy enough
He says he cannot make any money
if they do not take more than a ton
and half at load. The answer given
him was that it is an impossibility to put
any more weight on the wagons with the
roads in the condition they are now. Con-
sequently the contractor discharged the
resident foreman and put new man on.
In Bass River there is dispute oyer
the way in which the shells for the oyster
shell road are measured, one side claiming
the measurement should be ON the ground,
while the other says it should be on the
wagon.
The trouble on the Burlington road
seems to have been bridged over. A new
foreman has been put in charge and it is
to be hoped there will not be any more
friction in that quarter. In connection
with this affair the following letter is
quite interesting;
MEssRs B. NJ. & J. F. STANLEY,
Gentlemen
have examined the stone now loaded and
delivered at Fountain Woods station ana at
East Burlington designed for use on the road
from Wood Lane to Burlington, and consider
specifications. These call for the largest size
of stone to be such as will pass two inch
ring, while many of those on car at Fountain
Woods station and on car at East Burlington
are of several times this size OF course II
such stone are LAID on the road 1t Is in COM
plete violation of this provision and such lay
Ing should be discontinued. AS to the other
these two stations l find IL all very poorly
screened, containing much fine material un-
suited to the bottom course and, unless seDar-
ated, not proper for either course. The frac-
ture is generally or quite commonly shelly
and far from affording the cubical form desir-
able and really demanded by the require
ments OF the contract. 1t is difficult to say
how far we can go to meet you on the DISPOSE
| tton OF this material, but have instructed
MIR. Davis, the supervisor, who is responsible
| for results upon the road to the Freeholders,
! to act upon each wagon delivered and to re-
| iect any which does not reasonably I'LL these
requirements out OF the present carloads at
the stations named, and shall sustain him in
1 this Judgment, being convinced from his care
| thus far shown, that he Will act prudenJly and
| fairly In the matter. Much of the stone on
these cars is interior in form although of good
quality, and ! think your own interests would
| lie In the direction OF exercising greater care
in the shipments.
