who hit him. In the morning when
Weston sobered up Cline again inquired
about the matter, and Weston still said he
did not know anything about it.
At the conclusion of this testimony
Prosecutor Budd arose and said it had
been his custom not to press for convic-
tion when there was not sufficient evidence
to warrant it. He was satisfied that this
case was one where he would not be jus
titled in taking up the time of the court,
and he therefore asked that the jury be
instructed to render a verdict of not guilty.
The court gave the order and the verdict
was so recorded.
Louisa Nichols, indicted for bigamy
with Harvey Joyce. of Southampton town
ship, was called before the court, and
Judge Gaskill told her he had decided to
suspend sentence in her case. He had
been informed she is not now living with
the man she had made her second husband.
He also believed she had committed a crime
unwittingly, marrying Joyce a long time
after her first husband had deserted her,
evidently thinking she was justified in SO
doing. So long as she conducted herself
in a proper manner, the court informed
her she would not be punished. The wo-
man, who had a small child in her arms,
left the court room apparently well pleased
with the decision
On Saturday Judge Gaskill refused to
grant an application for license for another
hotel at Florence.

Burlington,

1t is rumored that William H. Rooms,
of Trenton, is soon to assume manage
ment of the Burlington Enterprise.
The taxpayers held a.meeting on Friday
evening to decide whether there should
be any steps taken to improve the school
buildings in this city. The first PROPOSE
ton was to build a new two-storied build
ing in West Burlington at a cost of 3d.
335, and it was adopted by a vote of 1893
to 179. By a vote of 1870 to 1877 the meet
ing agreed to spend SIS, O93.7 8 to alter the
st. Mary street school house, making it
eight rooms instead of four as at present.
The Stacy street building is to be con-
verted into a four-roomed building at a
cost of IS, 407.50 50. 1t was desired to make
York street school a t~hree-roomed build
ing but this was defeated by a vote of 148
for to 151 against. The proposition to
put two rooms on the first floor of the
East Burlington school house was adopted,
the cost to be SO, sS5. The same change
is to be made in the Federal street build
ing at cost of "a, O42. 80. The meeting de-
cided to issue bonds of $500 each, at 4 per
cent, to be disposed of to the highest bid
der.

NOTES

A base ball enthusiast In Mount Holly
thinks our team must brace up if it wants
to win the pendulum"
The funny man of the Burlington Ga
sette on Friday said Mount Holly would
go to Bordentown on Saturday for its
fourth bitter dose. But the bitterness
seems to have landed in Burlington when
its pet aggregation, with George Mount in
the umpire's box, was unable to down
Florence.
Next Saturday the Beverly base ball
club will play at Mount Holly. This is a
strong aggregation and plays ball from
start to finish. 1t has many veterans on
it, among them Jack McFetridge, Doc
Crump, BILLY" Turner, Tommy" Peter
sen and many others known to the base
ball world from the time the game began.
Randall will pitch and his manager thinks
he is as good as McFetridge. Mount
Holly has been strengthened greatly and
will put up a good game. AS the base
ball trolley has been put on for the season
there is no reason for delay in starting,
and play will begin at $3.50 and will not
end on the seventh. This game will be
one of the snappiest that will be played
! this season.

adelphia during the week of May goth will be the
occasion of an immense outpouring of people. For
this important event the various transportation

thrilling features for this seasons tour, the most
noteworthy and timely being a magnificent repro
duction of the battle of San Juan, which will be
presented with great accurateness as to detail, and
participated in by hundreds of actual survivors Of
that historic struggle, including a number Of
Roosevelt's Rough Riders. ALI the Wild West feat
ures that have made this exhibition the talk of W
continents for years past are still retained, while
many new people from strange lands have been
added. including a number of Filipinos and Ha-
waiians. Rough Riders of Americas new possess
ions will be seen side by side. with the Queens
Own Lancers, the Russian Cossacks, the South
American Gauchos. the American cowboy, the Ger
man soldiers. and our own artillery and cavalry
men, while over one hundred brave and fighting
Indians in their picturesque war paint add color
add life to the scene and ensemble never to be for
gotten. Buffalo Bill lCol. Cody personally partici-
pates in and directs every performance.
